BERLIN CLAIMS
 BIG VICTORY
REPORTED RUSSIAN THIRD ARMY BEATEN AND 5O,OOO
 PRISONERS TAKEN.

BERLIN, May 7.-Unconfrmed re- ports arrived in this city this morning that the Third Russian army operat- ing in Galicia has been totally defeat ed by the Germans and Austrians and that fifty thousand of the czar's sold iers have fallen into our hands and the hands of our allies. The confirm ation of the report is being awaited before it is given full credence and all Germany is waiting on tiptoe, for the belief is held that if the story is true it marks the beginning of Russia's collapse. Germany and Austria have now begun the spring campaign which was marked out some time ago after a conference between the over generals of the two empires and our general offensive movements have been order ed all along the line.

CARAVAN CASE OFFERS
 VERY FEW SURPRISES.

MINEOLA, May 7.-The trial of the case of Mrs. Carman for the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey is pro- ceeding this afternoon but the evi- dence is very little different from the evidence brought out at the first trial of the woman. The defendant shows absolute calmness in court and no one who did not know could guess that she is on trial for her life. The gen eral opinion seems to prevail that the jury will either acquit her this time or fail to agree as in the trial be- fore. So far as the case has proceed ed the state does not seem to have se- cured any further evidence of con squence.

VIENNA, May Tt is officially announced this morning that the of fensive campaign of the Russians in the Carpathian mountains has been definitely ended.

STEVE DOYLE DIED
 OF EXHAUSTION.
Deputy Marshal Evans Fears Many More Such Occurrences Un-
 less Care Taken.

That Steve Doyle who was found dead a few days ago on the trail near Mile Forty-one died of exhaustion is the fact eicited by Commissioner Conroy and Deputy Marshal Ike Evans who returned yesterday after noon after burying the remains and Investigating the causes of death. Doyle was a man of about sixty years of age who had worked around this district mad Valdez for years. He was travelling over the trail with some other parties but had a pack on his back and fell behind while mush- ing through the deep snow. He was first seen lying in the STOW by man named Ei. Casey who was unable to remove him alona bas who went to the roadhouse for help. On returning poor Doyle was dead. Mir.

He met about fifty men mushing towards Woodrow creek with packs on their backs and many of them altogether unprepared for hard ships such as those to be encountered.

MR.. FOUNDER A DIPLOMAT
Anyone That Could Get Away With
Excuse He Offered Is Deserving
of the Name.

Mr.. Rounder lay in the hospital
with broken leg and bruised head.
But they weren't worrying him most.
There in the morning paper was the
whole story of one too many joy rides,
chorus girls and all, staring from
page l.
His wife-he knew her too well.
Even while he pictured the scene
in the divorce court, she came in, stiff
and cold and threatening, the telltale
paper clutched in a trembling hand.
"Well2s she demanded accusingly.
Then came his inspiration.
"Lucretia!" he whispered, reaching
toward her, in spite of the pain his
movements gave him. Il thought

She interrupted him with a wild
cry.

LACE FOR THE EECK
NEW STYLES ARE EFFECTIVE IN
THE EXTREME.
Aside From This Dainty Touch, ALL
Lace Gowns Are Coming Back In
to Favor-Somethng About
the New Costume.

The tight bodice, with the square
decolletage in front and elbow
sleeves, has been introduced into af-
ternoon and evening frocks, and it has
a touch of fine lace with blue velvet
bow to give softness to the neck. 1t
allows many women a chance to ap.
pear their best in the evening, for it
lends dignity, whereas the sleeveless
bodice with the jeweled shoulder straps
or the mist of illusion floating over the
upper part of the body was not in
keeping with certain figures of char
acters.
Another pictorial fashion which has
been exploited by both Beer and Cal
lot, and therefore will be extensively
taken up, is the use of old and new
lace frocks. 1t has been a long time
since all-lace gowns were in the first
fashion, although they never quite
went out This summer they will
be revived with enthusiasm 1t is not
as strange that they should be intro
dueed in a season of great lace-making
depression as we thought when the
first report of it came, for all the ia
bric places were limited this year
in Europe, and large and rich houses
in which fine materials are stored
thought it wise to use what they had,
trusting to the future to give them
wider variety of choice.
Splendid old lace flounces are used
for skirts beneath which there are
placed finely shaded satin flowers.
The revival of real lace has suggest
ed the festooning of draperies on both
the skirt and bodice, and flowers of
silver gauze are used.
Along with such gowns as Irland-
aise and Kitchener and Joffre has
come a martial manner among the
more versatile women. They walk
with shoulders back, instead of a col
lapsed chest. They step along in a
spirited way instead of sliding about
They are elean-eut and we'll put to-
gether.
1t may be that this feature in the
new way of dressing will do more to
change the figure and the prevailing
idea underlying clothes than anything
else. War is in the air and it is,
therefore, bound to be reflected in
some way in women's apparel Pos
sibly the reflection will not be in braid

BLOUSES MATCH BEIGE SUITS
Garments That VIII Readily Be Seen
to Have Many Points of
Advantage.

To match the beige-colored suits are
offered pongee silk blouses built on
tailored lines with high, turnover col
lar and rolling cuffs. The fronts of
such blouses are usually box-plaited
and fastened with ivory buttons in ball
shape. The excellent point about these
models, aside from their matching
quality, is that they launder very cas-
lily.
To add variety to the line, there are
pongee waists trimmed with dyed
laees; and still others that are hand
embroidered in floss the color of the
blouse material Like many other
waists of the period, certain of the
models have the convertible collar.
acceptable for either cool weather or
warm weather wear.
The frilled blouse is back again 1t
is made of cotton wolfe, of georgette
crepe or of striped filet marquisette.
Its salient feature is the one-side
jabot, which is usually edged with
lace. When there is yoke it is apt
to show a scalloped edge. sometimes
piped with a contrasting color
A lot of gold and soutache braid.
ing is being tried out on blouses that
start out to be plain and then seem
to undergo change and finish by be-
ing a semidress model 1t is known
that Paris is quite mad on the sub
ject of braid trimmings; and this. of
course, means an adoption of the same
on this side of the Atlantic. Ameri-
can women have never been very par
tial to glittering ornamentation, partic
ularly in connection with daytime at
tire. 1t may be, however, that the
lure of gold as presented by French
artists will prove more tempting this
season than in times gone by.
Both shadow and heavy laces enter
into the composition of recent blouses
There is nothing startlingly new about
this, since laces of these types have
been used off and on for many sea
sons.
