Milwaukee avenue, West Madison

Sixty-third street between Jackson

goods that would balance many State

100000 will be used for immediate

The bonds pay per cent and will

According to State street real es-
tate men, in 1880 department stores
of the Stevens type will be vastly bet

creased and asubway will bring more
people into the loop and to State
street to shop.
Surface lines will be bent as much
as possible to their task of carrying
people to and from the loop and
buildings will go higher toward the
sky and farther into the ground.
Meanwhile State street is borrow

The head of one of the largest real
estate firms in the city says that
State street land is too valuable to-
day. That in figuring prices of the
precious frontage buying power of
the Chicago public was overesti-
mated.
Department stores have been
built, he said, in expectation of a
far greater business than they are
now enjoying. State street land, as
a whole, is not as valuable today as
in 1910, when it reached its greatest
height in price.
Several of the stores which pushed
up great buildings are not paying. A
subway would bring more business to
the loop and relieve the present sit
uation. Therefore State street wants
an underground system.

RUSSIAN

Petrograd, Feb. 10.-The general staff of the Russian army has given out an official statement as follows:
 ttThe Germans, who gradually had been concentrating in East Prussia with fresh troops began series of en- ergetic reconnaissance and on Feb. z opened offensive operations with con siderable forces, in the district be- tween Horzele and Johannfsburg. They undertook at the same time active op- eratfons on both wings of their front in East Prussia. In the vicinity of Lasd dehnen, to the east of Tilsit. Fol lowing this encounter our cavalry moved forward in the direction of sier- pee, travelling over the road to Rypin.
 ssOn the left bank of the Vistula during the day of Feb. g, the enemy showed no signs of activity.
 Judging from the corpses a.band- oned by the Germans in front of our positions, they would appear to have lost in dead and wounded several tens of thousands of men in the six days fighting In front of Borjimow, Goumine and .Wola Szydlowfcka.
 "In the Carpathians the fighting con- tinued in the vicinity of BartheId and Svidnik The enemy here undertook active operations but they did not thus continue and they finally retired, leav- ing prisoners in our hands.

Warning Nations Turn
 Eyes to the Balkans

London, Feb. 1O-The Balkan bat tlefront completely overshadows the western fighting line today as tho center of interest in the military op- erations The Teutonic allies evil dently are making desperate efforts to advance especially in the region of Ga,Hcia to the south of -PrzTnysl and Lernlberg where attempts have been made to gain positions by sheer weight of numbers. The general of fensive movement of the Austro-Ger- mountains has been successful at the eastern end, of the range where; the Russians are retreating into Buko- wina but London military experts are of the opinion that the Austrfans must forge ahead a long way in this direction, before they can hope to af- feet the general Russian position
 The vital point is Dukla Pass, where short advance by the Russ1ana would compel the Austrians to look anxiously to their Communications At present the battle in that region has all the aspects of a draw The most sanGuinary lighting, according to Russian reports. took place in the Carpathian mountains where the Ger mans attempted to cross Tukholl1a Pass. The Teutons attacked in mass formation several ranks deep and ga1n6Q the A01S1lCS OCCUp10h iBy bAAEt Russians only to be forced back by desperate counter attacks. J8oth sides. must have suffered terrible losses in this hand-to-hand battle.
 A German report states that heavy artillery actions are in progress in the Carpathians and that an ad- vance is being made on Bukowina where the important town of Wanna has been occupied by the Austro-Ger- man forces.
 Some whispers of demand for peace commission for the Teutontc ai- lies in the form of reports of a So- ciaEst speech in the Prussian Diet declaring that the people want peace and at petition is said to have been sent to Baron Burian, the Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs some Hungarian deputies demanding that steps be taken to end the war.

CORONER PROBING
  DEATH OF THOMAS BURNS ON RAILROAD

whether Thomas Burns, brake
 man on a freight train fell off his
 train at Sandy Hook last Saturday af- ternoon and sustained injuries which
 caused death or whether he was caught and crushed between another
 train on the siding there is what
 Coroner PheIan is trying to determine at Sandy Hook today. The coroner
 had a number of railroad employees including the station master before him.
 He has previously interviewed mem
 bers of the train crew with whom Burns worked but has not found any
 one who saw Burns hurt. The un- fortunate brakeman died at the Dan
 bury hospital soon after he was taken there. He was unmarried, and 25 years of age.
 Coroner Phelan is awaiting a report from E. W. Winchester of New Ha- ven regarding the killing of Frank Ligori at Stamford recently. Ligorj
 who was a, barber of Glendale, was shocked to death by electricity as he attempted to board a train at Stam- ford When the Coroner receixes ex- pert Winchester's report he will make
 his finding on the case. Mr. Win chester was employed by the state to investigate.

ADMINISTRATION STANDS FIRM IN SHIP DEADLOCK Senators Break Down Under Strains of Record Break
 ing Session WILSON'S COHORTS THWART OPPOSITION Kitchin and the President In Conference at White
 House

WAshington Feb. 10-Deadlocked over President Wilson's ship bill in a continuous session which exceeds by
 many hours any other of which there is record, the Senate today showed no sign of an end to the legislative strug- gle.
 At 10 o'clock this morning the con ftinuous session had lasted 46 hours. Senator Townsend. Republican, had relieved Senator Sherman who had been talking since 1 a. n1., opening the days assault on the shipping bill from the Republican side. While Mir. Town send spoke fresh forces on both sides of the chamber relieved the tired, heavy-eyed senators who had stood guard through the night.
 Many senators had begun to break
 under the physical strain of the fight.
 Senator Penrose was compelled last night to go to his hotel Under care of a physician. Others were forced by physical exhaustion to retire to theiP homess but plans of Senate leaders were made to rush them hack on short notice should their votes be needed. Twice during the night the RepubH- cans and allied Democrats of the op- position vainIy sought to adjourn the Senate but administration lines held firmly. Majority Leader Kern assert ed early in the day that there would be no let up until the pending q11es- tion at least, could be put to a vote. The pending question still remains on 8 motion of Senator Fletcher to recon init the bill with Instructions for it's
 immediate amendment and return to the Senate.
 Meanwhile. means for forcing the shipping bill through were discussed ] by President Wilson at conferences with Majority Leader Underwood o1 the House and Representatie Kitchin, who is to succeed MT. Underwood as House leader after March 4. The Presidents suggestion to the House leaders was that the Senate shipping
 bill might be attached as an amend
 ment to the Weeks bill, already passed by the Senate, providing for the use Of naval vessels in carrying mails and freight. The Weeks bill is now before
 the sHouse naval affairs committee.
 The President, it was understood, had
 not finally determined to press this
 idea but 1t is said to have support o1 several Republican leaders
 Mir. Kitchin went to the White House primarily to take up with the Pres ident the views of members of the ways and means committee that there l should be no extra session of Con
 gress.

Summary
 OF THE War News

A battle which the Russian precedent in history has occur red in Galicia in the course of the campaign for the mastery of the mountain region which screens northern Hungary from Russia.
 In a single day the German troops charged 22 times on 8 Russian position. They made face of artillery fire. Twice they gained possession of the heights but according to the Rus sian statement they were finally driven out with bayonets. The losses are described as .texces- sive1y heavy There is no infor- nation on this phase of the sit uation from German or Austrian sources.
 Tn the recent attack of the Germans on the Warsaw front the Russian statement says, their losses amounted to tens of thou sands
 The battle of the Carpathians, which is to decide whether the Russians will be able to force a way over the mountains and i'm wade Hungary or will be driven back to the northward apparent 1y is as far from a decision as at any time since the .Austrians, with their endorsements of Germans, launched the attack. Each of the opposing armies has won it's minor victories but neither has been able to gain sufficient headway to place the other definitely on the defen- sive.. The corresp ondent of Berlin newspaper states that no speedy successes must be ex- pected as movements are slow on account of the heavy snow in which the operations are being carried out and the most that can be looked for by Germany is the forcing back of the Russians step by step.
 Although the Russian forces along the Warsaw front have un- dertaken an attack they appar- ently have been no more suc- cessfu1 than were the Germans in their last onslaught. So far as has been reported, there is no important shifting of positions. In northern Poland another battle is under way with t11e 1SSu0 SI1ll un06C100Q1
 The Russian Duma adopted a resolution expressing the pur- pose of carrying on the war un- til the peace of Europe was as- sured on terms satisfactory to Russia.
 It is reported from Geneva that another Zeppelin has been lost It is said to- have been wrecked in a storm during a flight over the North Sea.
 Another instance of the use of the American flag by a British steamer was reported today by passengers on the Cunarder Or duna when it arrived at New York from Liverpool. The Or duna is said to have flown the American flag for nearly 24 hours while crossing the Irish Sea-

DE CASTELLANE LOSES SUIT IN VATICAN COURT Action for Ann71lment of His Marriage Fails In Rota
 Tribunal <s SUIT WAS BASED ON HER ALLEGED THREAT Former Anna Gould, Now Duchess of Tallyrand,
 Retains Children

Paris, Feb. 1O-The Rota Tribunal has rejected Count Boni. De Caste1- lanes suit for the annulment of his marriage to Anna Gould, now the Duches of Ta1lyrand, according to a special despatch from Rome AFgu- ments in the third trial of the case were closed yesterday after which the court announced it's decision.
 Count De Castel1ane's appeal to the Vatican courts for the annu1ment of his marriage to Anna. Gould has been pending since 1910. Under the ec- c1esiastic Judicial system before a re- 1igious marriage is annul1ed the case must be heard three times by the Rota Tribunal, each time by three different judges and two decisions must favor final. In the CasteIlane case the pres ent Duchess of Tallyrand has won two of these decisions.
 If the Count had been successful in obtaining annul1nent of the religious marriage he would have been enabled to marry again. Under the French law he would have obtained posses sion of their three childrenswho were given into the custody of their mother when she secured a divorce in the Paris courts on Nov. l 4, 1906.
 De CasteIlane based his petition largely upon aff1davits made by Prince Del Drago and Jean De Castel1ane, the Counts brother, who declared the then Miss Gould inva1idated the relig- ious marriage by declaring to them a quarter of an hour before the cere- mony was performed that she intend ed to. divorce her husband if ever he were unfaithful to her.
 Anna Gould, daughter of the late Jay Gould, was married to Count De Caste1lane in New York City on March 4, 1885.
 After her divorce from him she married Prince He1ie De Sagan on July ', 1908, and became the Duchess of TaIIyrard when her husband suc- ceeded to the title upon the death o1 his father in Paris, Feb. 2ls 1910.
