Both Parties Are ina Quandary
as Neither Intended to
Really Marry.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19-The time was
1913, in summer, and the place was
a Atlantic liner, westward bound.
The girl was legion and also troupe,
for q group Of women had been cor
rallied in Germany and herded toward
America, which was q land flowing
with milk and honey, especially for
yellow haired dancers.
But the one girl Of special import
to this tale was IS year old Eva Luth-
old. who was fair to look upon, and
who forthwith struck up starboard
acquaintance with Arie de svries. :
Suggests They Wed.
Now the point OF this story is this,
1t was nothing more than hurricane
deck acquaintance. and the sentiment
that developed was nothing more than
friendship. Arie de vries was as and
hailed from Holland, and he was going
to- America to finish his medical Sstud-
les. Chicago was his destination.
The dancing troupe tarried a while
In New York and then passed through
Philadelphia and Pfttsburg and on to
Chicago. Eva Luthold wrote q letter
to the shipboard acquaintance.
Next day Arie de vries visited her.

the fall OF Lemberg After the Galician
capital was captured, the Austro-Ger

tion Of the Warsaw defenses required
more obvious effort than was visible in
Galicia. and the occupation of Brest

followed IN each case by constantly de-

There can be no. doubt but that the
Germanic drive has passed its maxi
mum Of efficiency for the present. To
maintain for four months the intense
effort that carried the Austro-G Germans
from the Duna jec to Lemberg Is not pos
sible under modern conditions Of war
fare. 1t is the usual experience Of
army commanders that after an ex-
hadsting drive such as that which
eliminated in Lemberg's capture. a per.
iod Of three months is required for res
euperation.

made to pierce the Russian line beyond
