Assault Costs Heavily.

When the Russians starved out the
Austrian garrison at P~rzemysl, an op-
GRAFTON which brought them into the
fortress on March -, they did it slow
ly and systematically, conserving the
lives OF their men as much as pos
sible. The method which the Austro-
Germans have been employing recent
~ to accomplish the same end has
been entirely different. Their cX-
Dediture in men and ammunition has
perhaps outdone anything in this war,
not ever excepting the German rushes
for Calais and the terrible struggle
along the User river.
The retaking Of the przemysl for
Lress already has been characterized
by British observers as one OF the
most remarkable 1oats of the war.
Immediately after the surrender Of
the Austrian garrison Russians be-
gan a westward rush through GaIicia
and il was predicted hat they soon
would overrun both Silesia and the
plains Of hungary.
A terrific Austro-Gcrman offensive
vas inauglrated, however, the result
OF which vas 10 drive the Russians
back to the San and to enable the
Teutonie allies to encircle przemysl
and attack it from the north and the
southeast.

demanded the ship papers. Farley
alleges the American flag was lower

MOTHERS PENSIONS.


The Survey, magazine of local
service, makes summary of the num-
ber of persons aided and the cost of
the mothers pension law of Massa-
chusetts.
Since September 1, 1913 when the
Massachusetts, mothers law became
effective, 1867 mothers with 1929
dependent children under Ia years of
age have been recorded as receiving
aid. Over one-fourth of all the cases
were not widows, the exact figures
being widows 2,151; all others S16.
Of this residue one-half were desert
ed wives, group involving the ap-
plication Of the uniform desertions act
in conjunction with mothers aid.
1t is too early to calculate with
certainty the exact outlay of public
funds in the execution of the law, for
the reason that outlays here probably
mean retrenchment in other quarters
But the amounts actually audited
show an average payment of $6, or
equivalent, week to the cases cited.
And since the law went into effect
the state board of charity, the sup
ervisatory body, has audited bills
accounting to $175,000 and the total
expenditure to date out of the state
funds approximates 100000. If to
this amount be added sums paid out
by the several cities and towns in
dependently Of the state funds, the
grand total thus far spent will ap-
proximate s460,000.
The state authorities estimate
s250,000 as their share of the expen-
diture for 1915. If the same proper
tion of state to local funds holds
the total mothers aid administered
next year will run over $6OO,OOO.
On the score of theory it is readily
demonstrated for Massachusetts that
widows pensions, by whatever name
designated are in the nature of pub
lie poor relief, and the application
of any statute providing them is an
extension of public outdoor poor re
lief On the score of practice, it
is becoming apparent that overseers
of the poor can accomplish construc-
tive relief work.-Des Moines Capt.
