AUSTRIAN STATEMENT.

VIENNA, via London, September IS:
The Russian offensive in East Galicia
has broken down on the Stripa river.
Yesterday the enemy evacuated the
battlefields of the last few days and
are retreating on the Sereth river.
The losses which the enemy suffered
before our positions proved to be
great.
On the Ikwa river the situation is un-
changed.
In the Volhynian triangle of fortresses
the fighting is proceeding against su
perior Russian forces. We have re-
pulsed numerous attacks. We are
withdrawing our front in this sector
to prepared positions farther west.
In Lithuania the Austro German forces
have forced crossing of the SZczara.
In the Tyrolean and Carinthian frontier
districts nothing important has hap
pened. A forest fire before our posi-
tionS at Rerana, south of Schluder-
bach, forced the Italians to evacuate
lines.
In the district of Flitsch the enemy is
still attempting to approach our for
tifications. Repeated Italian attacks
against Ravelnik and our positions
on the western slopes of Javorock
have collapsed.
The assertion in an Italian communica-
tion that we are employing shells
containing pruSsic acid is a malicious
invention.

.ss3u}u6!Ia 10 qonol JoI

When a bedroom or small dressing
room is papered with anything but
plain or neutral paper, bright colored
or lowered chintz should never be
used, but often little color is needed
to add tone to the room.
In a case of this kind, one Of the
new bedspreads which are so pretty
and easily made Is just the thing to
give the necessary color. Select
plain white spread of good quality
and rather heavy. Cut from chintz
a bunch of roses or a spray OF gay
colored flowers and paste one in each
corner with larger one for the CEN
ter. Sew to the spread and finish
the raw edges with a fine feather
stitch or with long and short button
hole stitch.
This idea can be carried out for
scarfs to cover the dressing-table and
bureau. Make the scarf of linen cut
to fit the top of each and finish the
edges with scallop or hem and
finish this with the stitch that was
used on the spread. Cut out the flow
ers and applique to the edges of the
scarf. Bunches of the same flowers
can be added to the corners Of the
white curtains with good effect.

The second oldest American was
Flora Thompson, who died at Harba
Island, Penn, in 1903, at the age OF one
hundred and fifty years. writes Willis
Fletcher Johnson in the Philadelphia
Ledger. She was, however, a Negro
slave, and pass her by, as do many
other records of Negroes Of great age,
for the reason that in those days the
status Of that race in this country was
such that little credence is to be given
to its annals.
Passing by many other less authen.
tic cases, chiefly Of Negro slaves, l
come to one of this class which seems
to be much more authoritative than
most of them. This is the case of
Wonder Booker, a slave who belonged
to George Booker of Prince Edward
county, Va, a family name of the most
eminent American Negro Of our time,
DR.. Booker T. Washington. Wonder
was so named because his mother was
years old at the time of his
birth and his birth was therefore
regarded little short of miraculous.
He was man OF extraordi-
nary physical powers and of consider
able mental gifts, all of which re-
manned unimpaired until within a few
years of his death. At the age OF one
hundred and sixteen years he was able
to do full measure Of work on his
plantation, and he died in
1919, at the age of one hundred and
twenty.six. l have found, following
him, records Of more than one hun
bred persons of from one hundred and
down to one hundred and
ten years of age at death in the Uni
ted States, more than fourf1fths OF
them dying in the first quarter Of the
nineteenth century.

VEGETATION ON THE MOON
Harvard Professor Offers Evidence
Which He Believes Disproves
Lone.HeId Theory.

Professor Pickering of the Harvard
astronomical observatory declares that
there is nothing less true than that
the moon is without air, water or veg
citation. There are certain large lunar
areas that darken toward lunar noon
and fade out toward, lunar sunset.
They correspond in some degree to
the so-called Marian seas, and Pro-
lessor Pickering proposes the term
fields" to describe these plains or
slopes, which he believes to be GOV.
cred with vegetation. He is convinced
that the dark fields to be seen during
the lunar summer do not owe their
blackness to shadow, for you can see
them at full moon when shadows are
absolutely invisible. The blue-black
color Of the fields and canals, he ar
CUES, can therefore be owing only to
a d1scoloration of the surface that
comes alike on slopes and levels in
the lunar summer, and that is invis-
ible in the spring and autumn. We
know of no mineral that acts in that
manner. and the only possible explana-
ton seems to be that it is the result
of covering Of vegetation.-Youth's
