DIED IN
Mrs. *. c. McCallister Passed Away
nj Long Beach, Cal, Saturday.

Mrs. c. III. Morse of this city yes
terday received a telegram from O..
l.. MeCallister announcing the death
of Mrs. r.. c. McCallister at Long
Reach, Cal, Saturday afternoon.
Death was the result of pneumonia
after an illness of three days. The
remains will presumably be taken to
Chicago for burial in the family lot
of a cemetery of that city where the
parents and a sister of deceased. for
mer residents of this city, are in
TERED.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCallister left Mad
ison in November to reside perma-
nently in California after a residence
in Madison of more than thirty years,
prominently associated with the bust
ness and social affairs of this city.
Deceased had been in feeble health
the past several years, resulting from
advancing age, and suffering from
asthma and attacks of pneumonia in
the winter season. Removal to a
milder climate, ii was believed, would
be of benefit to her health, but she
survived the change only a few
months.
Deceased became a resident of
Madison in 1883, coming from Chi
cago with parents, brother, F. ID.
Fits, and sister, Miss Mary Fits.
f. ID. Fits was the founder of the
First National bank of this city, con-
tinuing in the business until Janu-
airy, 1914, when he retired. and last
summer removed with his family to
North Yakima, Wash, to reside. Mr..
Fits is now the only survivor of the
family.

young women stopped. and he was
placed under a bond Of $3.50 to APP
pear at the May term OF state circuit
court and explain why such patrons
were permitted to remain on his
premises. So far as known. this is
the first instance in the history of the
state where the proprietor of a hotel
has been arrested on such a charge.
1t is understood Landlord Brash will
base his defense on the ground that
he had no reason to believe the
young women were not all right. and
that they conducted themselves prop
erly while on his premises.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSo-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. 15.-Special: The
German people look upon the retreat
of the Russians in East Prussia as a
great victory for the German army
under Field Marshal Won linden
burg. Military critics in Berlin view
this success as ~presaging further vic
tories which will have an important
effect upon the final results.
Regarding East Prussia the Rus
slams have little to say. but il is
known that behind them are strong
ly fortified positions to which they
may withdraw with a possibility of
checking the German advance.
In Poland and the Carpathians
nothing of vital Importance has been
announced by either side.
Belgium and France are playing a
secondary part as compared with the
east in the campaign. There have
been spasmodic engagements and ar
tillery actions. but nothing has occur

positions of the opposing forces.

ing to Berlin dispatches, is reason
ably satisfied with the contents of the
American note respecting Germany's
declaration of wal zone in British
waters. expressing the view that the
terms are couched in more friendly
language than had been expected,
and that from the American side Ger
tain of the points raised are justified.
Germany will reply in the same
friendly manner. il is asserted, but
will adhere to its own viewpoint.
The German minister at The
Hague has issued another warning
TO neutrals to avoid the waters men
toned in the German proclamation
as dangerous for merchantmen of all
nations.
The British foreign office. in its
reply to the American note concern
ing the use of the American flag on
the steamer Lusitania. it is under
stood, will contend that British mer-
chant vessels have been advised to
use neutral flags only in case of
emergency.
