BAD WEATHER HALTS BATTLE
lnterferes With Engagement in the
Carpathians.

London, April 19.-The allies on
one side and Germany on the other
are taking inventories of the injuries
inflicted by the recent aerial opera
tions and with the usual eontradic-
tory results. The attackers say their
assaults from the air have resulted in
the destruction of military transport
and equipment. while the defenders
report that the only tangible effects
ties to civilians and slight damage to
property.
The people of England, under the
influence of their recent experiences,
are expecting repetition of an aerial
attack from German Zeppelin or
taube machines.
Weather conditions seem to be the
cause of the present halt in the oper-
ations in the Carpathian mountains
A correspondent with the Austrian
forces, reviewing the situation, de
clares the Russian offensive was
checked after debouching on the
plains on the Hungarian side of Lup-
kow pass and strengthening out the
Austrian wedge which had been driv-
en- into the Russian line near Uzsok
pass.
The assertion is made that the Rus
SLAMS suffered fearful losses in max
ing their supreme effort to gain the
Hungarian plains, the casualties be-
ing particularly heavy among the
noble born officers of crack regiments.
In any event, it is the opinion of
British observers that whatever else
may be retarding the Russians, flood
ed streams and impassab,c roads in
the Carpathians are ample proof for
the present delay.

From the district of the Choruk river
il is reported that after an unsuccess-
full defense of Khopa the Turks re-
treated beyond Archaya, where they
have occupied fortified heights from
which they are making sorties.
There is said to be growing hostility
between the Turks and the Kurds, the
former deprecating the inhumanity of
the latter In cases where Turks and
Kurds are serving together this dis
affection has at times approached the
mutinous stage. There are several in
stances of Turkish soldiers having
lynched Kurds guilty of unusual
atrocities.

years in public work she has whim-

the popular notion of what a suffra-
gist is as can we'll be imagined.

The big truck of the Hooker Auto
Sausage Company, of New Hope,
was wrecked last night at the cross
ing of the Belvidere Delaware Rail-
road between Titusville and Moore's,
and Walter Browning, the colored

that the accident happened. The
train leaving Lambertville at 500,
the Buffalo Express, was the one
that struck it, and considerable ex-
element prevailed in both New Hope
and Lambertville as it was reported
by those arriving on the $50 p. m.
train that eight persons had been
killed or injured in the accident.
Browning and Scott were first ex-
amined by DR.. M. S. Simpson, of
Titusyille, after which they were
hurried to the hospital, where they
died without regaining consciousness.

Lambertville Woman Imprisoned.

Mrs. Margaret Grady was sem
fenced TO one year in the woman's
reformatory, at Clinton, last Thurs
day, by Recorder F. w. Larson, after
she had been adjudged a disorderly
person. The law permitted sentence
of as high as five years, but the re-
corder thought one year would
prove a lesson to her and some
others following in the same foot
steps.
Mrs. Grady, who is about forty
seven years old and does not live
with her husband, has been up in
the city police court three times
since June. On the 18th of that
month she was arrested upon a
charge of drunk and disorderly con-
duct, but released upon the promise
to Immediately leave the city. Ar
rested again on July 10 she was COM
mitted to the county Jail for ninety
days, but paroled after serving
about seventy days. This time she
was found in Counsellor John Lilly's
yard by Patrolman Huselton, and
the recorder decided to make an ex-
ample her.
