Will Press Germans.
Italy naturally will have to look
first to her frontiers, but it is eX-
ueCted that her entrance into the war
will compel Austria and perhaps Ger
many also to withdraw sOmC troops
from the Russian frontier where they
are hammering at the Russian lines,
particularly to the northwest and
south Of Przemysl, in middle Galicia.
This hammering. according to the
Austrian and German reports, Is hay
ing its effect, but they claim that the
Russians are being driven back from
the River San in the region Of Jaro-
slau and that the circle around
Pr2emysl is tightening.
At other parts Of the front the Rus
slams appear to be withstanding the
attacks and in the OpatOw region in
southern Poland they have themselves
taken the offensive. This, however,
will be useless to them unless they
can prevent the Austrians and Ger
mans from making a further advance
in Galicia.
Bad Weather interiors.
In the west the bad weather has
brought the operations almost to a
standstill and this has enabled the
French and British to consolidate the
ground they gained last week and
early this week While these gains
were not excessive, military experts
on the whole are satisfied with them,
having proved to their own minds
that when men and ammunition re-
spectively are concentrated in suffi-
cient numbers and quantity the Ger
mans can be driven back.
The public is still dependent upon
unofficial reports for the progress of
the armies on the GalliDOli DeninSula
These reports are most encouraging
from the standpoint Of the allies as
they state that the forts at Killd Bahr
have been destroyed, that Maidos has
been occupied and that the nbard-
snent of Niagara on the eastern side
OF the straits is in progress nsght and

ANXIETY CAUSED BY
EXPULSION OF CARO-
Feared Dismissal of Spanish Minister
by Carranza May complicate Mexi-
can Situaton-lssues Statement to
Justify Action.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Administra-
ton officials and diplomats waited with
some anxiety today developments they
feared might follow General Carranza's 8
expulsion of the Spanish minister, Jose
Caro-, from Mexico. The minister was
believed to be on his way from Vera
Cruz, after having been ordered out of
the country for alleged harboring Of
Angel de Case. a Spanish subject, ac-
cused Of aiding General Villa.
The American battleship Delaware
at Vera Cruz had been ordered to take
the minister on board for protection.
It was suggested here the incident
might bring serious complications, for
the right of asylum for the subject of
foreign government is long estab-
lished rule.
Secretary Daniels received wire
less message today from the captain
of the Delaware saying the Spanish
minister had not arrived at Vera Cruz.
The Carranza agency here issued a
statement justifying Carranza's action
Of yesterday in ordering tie minister
out of Mexico, recalling President
Cleveland's dismissal of Lord Sack
ville-West, the British ambassador; the
Spanish government dismissal of the
British minister. during the PREMIER
ship of Lord Palmerston, and the
Venezuelan governments dismissal of
the ministers from Belgium and France

Got. No Word From Berlin.

The Hague, Feb. 12.-Dr. Van Dyke
has been trying for four dayc thru the
friendly medium Of the German minis.
ter at The Hague to obtain an expla-
nation from Berlin Of what he con-
siders an invasion of his diplomatic
privileges, but no answer has come
from the German capital.
That statement Of facts is correct" :"
said DR.. Van Dyke. The action Of
the German commander at Trier may
have been mistake Of ignorance, but
1t must be explained and apologized
for.
"Luxemburg Is small country OF
250.O0O Inhabitants, but the peaceful
duties with which the American gov
eriment has charged me toward that
country are just as sacred as if it were
q hundred times as big.
1T was the first of the neutral coun-
tries to be invaded and appears to be
threatened with failure Of the food
supply.
Il can not consent to interference
with my duties toward Luxemburg by
any power in the world except that
which conferred them on me, namely,
the government at Washington"

British Comment on RepIy.

London. Feb. i 1.-THE texts of the
American notes to Germany and Grea,
Britain concerning the possible sink
ing of American ships and use OF the
American flag have not yet reached
the London papers, which consequently
are charry of editorial comment.
The Pail Mall Gazette. however. says
1t will not be difficult to satisfy the
United States that in using the Ameri-
can flag to defeat the intention of Ger
man torpedo vessels. Great Britain is
acting not only in national interests.
but in the interests of humanity and
civilization"
There would be no danger to Amer
lean ships If German craft would use
rules dictated for war;
The Gazette calls attention to the
fact that while the American govern
ment is calling attention to the use
Of the stars and stripes. American pas
sengers are petitionng the Cunard line
to sail under the American flag so that
they may enjoy Its protection.

1t may be day or two before the

To Be Published simultaneously.

London, Feb. 12-On account of the
great length of the British govern
ment's reply to the American note con-
cerning British interference with
American shipping it may be several
days before the text is available.
The British and American govern
ments have agreed to make the text
public simultaneously 1t can not pos
sibly be transmitted, and translated
fro mthe code and made ready for pub
lication in Washington for some time
yet The note is more than three times
in length the note to which 1t is re-
ply.
During the last three weeks the only
case of seizure Of alleged American
contra band is that of the steamship
W'iiileimina. Apparently the British,
government is making every effort to
expedite the delayed cargo Conse-
quently the grounds upon which the
American shipping note is based are
largely removed.

FANNY CROSBY, HYMN
WRITER, DEAD AT IS
Remarkable Woman Handicapped by
Blindness, Accomplishes Prodigious
Tasks-Hymns Sung Thruout the
World.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 12.-Fanny
Crosby, well-known hymn writer, died
today at her home, in her ninety fifth
year.
Miss Crosby's health had been fail
ing for some time. Shortly before the
end she became unconscious and re-
NAMED so until death. At her bedside
We're her niece: Mrs. Henry Booth, and
other members of the family with
whom she long had made her home.
Despite feeble health, Miss Crosby
continued writing hymns up to a short
time before her death.
Eight thousands hymns of Christian
worship sung in Protestant churches
thruout the world, are the work of
Fanny Crosby. No one since the days
of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has
made anywhere nearly as large a con-
tribution to the gospel song book as
did the blind writer whose death oc-
CURED today.
Fanny Crosby's name was signed SO
regularly as author Of one hymn after
another that the hymn book makers
Of a quarter of a century ago were
forced to give her some 200 different
pen names to make it appear that
someone besides the famous writer had
contributed. Thousands, perhaps hun
dreds OF thousands, who sang her
songs, which were translated into
every language, did not know that it
was a blind woman's inspiration which
they employed to express their Chris
tian faith and hope in song.
Saved by Grace" Blessed AS
surance," "Rescue the Perishing," and
Safe in the Arms of Jesus" are typi-
cal Of Fanny Crosby's most popular
religious verses.
But Fanny Crosby did not begin
hymn-writing until she was over 40
years of age. Fifty years ago she was
best known for her popular melodies
which were whistled all over the
country, such as Proud World Good
by, I'm Going Home" .Hazel Dell,
"The Honeysuckle Glen," and Never
Forget the Dear Ones"
