SeDera1 Quarts OF Good
Liquor Missing, oh Nv!
Florent Has .Feck of Trouble
over Trunkfnl When He
Loses Some oflt.

4 Alfred Florent, a. Erenchman of
Northview IS is ".sore'' because some
body has done him out Of three
quarts Of whiskey and two bottles of
beer. He says 1t was perfectly good
whiskey and beer; too.
Mr.. Florent is the man who was
arrested a night or two ago at the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad station
on q charge OF violating the Yost
prohibition law by bringing nine
quarts OF whiskey and ,seventy-two
bottles of beer to- Clarksburg from an
out-of-state point in his trunk. At
q hearing before Magistrate g. n.
Gordon soon afterwapd he was ac-
quittedS,of the charge, no evidence
having been presented that he
brought the liquor here for other
than his lawful personal use.
Before leaving the court, however,
a member of the railroad detective
force and the prosecuting attorney
told Mr.. Florent, he could not get
the trunk, because the railroad was
not permitted to deliver. intoxicants
in tho county MIR. Forent hunted
up an attorney and arranged to sue
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for
not delivering the .sSunls and its con-
tents to him. Before proceeding
further in the case. NE was advised
to make Il formal demand upon the
railroad for the articles and upon
doing this the next day the trunk
and liuuor were delivered to hom.
Then it was that AIr. Florent de-
veloped q large sized sore SPOT. He
says that when he opened the trunk.
three bottles OF whiskey and two bot
ties OF beer had been, taken from it.
For a while he though of suing the
railroad anyway. but on figuring out
the probable cost of the suit and
comparing 1t With the, value OF the
missing AQuor. he passed 1t up.
Another interesting feature of Ine
case is that Mr.. Florent says he
knows who got the liquor.

With RUSSIAN SUCCESSES
ALONG With ALLIED FLEET
German Offensive in the North
is Exhausted, Says London,
and Tide is Turning.
-IN FAVOR OF THE r RUSSIANS
While French. Continue Their

ing Heavy Damage.

LONDON. Feb. 2T2-with Russian
successes In the region Of Przans-
iiyzs. north Poland, and Kolomea,
east Galicias the successful progress
of the operations of the allied feet
in the Dartianelles and the decision
Of the allied governments to stop all
shipping TO and from Germany. Aus
tria and Turkey, 1t is believed here
that a new phase Of the war is about
TO be entered upon.
While the success reported by Pc.
trograd c9yers only small portion
of the long front in north Poland
and the Germans have been able to
record counter success near Kolno
the general impression among mill
tary men IN London is that not only
has the German offensive in tho
North exhausted itself but the tide Is
turning in favor of the Russians,
who with railways at their hacks
have been able to bring up more re-
cnforeements than the invading
army, whose communications. after
German territory is left, must cross
- country Of marshes and over flow
ing rivers.
Miish More Fighting.

Much nors fighting, however. must
be wagRd before q final decision Is
reached, and In the meantime the
battle has bEen resumed in central
Poland, where the Russiens have
made q slight advance, and the en-
aagemcrts; In tie Carputkians, east

With unabstedi fury.
From ~ hat can be gathered FROM
the Official reports, the Russians, de-
spite the ofslaughts made upon them
from all sides BY AGstrians and Ger
mans, have been able to n1aittain
their, strength at all points and to
throw in new troops where they
were nevessary. As 10 result the
Austrc- German plan of compelling
them to weaken their center by at
tacking the two extreme wings has
failed, and while the Russians have
been forced from East Prussia and
Bukowipa they have been able 70
make stand and when reinforced
delivered counter attacks which sp-
parcntly are making some headway.
French Continue Offensive.
The only activity of any import
ance;in the West is in the Champagne
district. where the French continue
their offensive and where the fight
Ing. according to the German re-
port, has been quite spirited; and IN
