Hope to Join With Russians in the South and Move North Through Austria Hungary
AUSTRO-GERMANS WIN VICTORY IN
 LABORCZA VALLEY
MunitiOn and Prohibition Question Dominate Public Mind of England-West- ern Front Quiet

London. April 6.-uO.35 D. m.)-AI- though the French are conducting a sustained offensive between the Mouse and the Mosell in an effort to disIodge the Germans from St. MihieI, the south crnmost point of their line, the allied armies as a whole appear to he await ing the outcome of Russia's gigantic plan to force the Carpsthian barrier.
 Germany is believed to be pouring troops into Hungary, even to the extent of weakening her forces in Flanders, and Vienna tonight denotes the presence and recounts the success of German and Austrian troops in the Iaborcza val lev.
 There is less talk in England of the srring advance in France and Belgium, and an increasing appreciation of the task Russia is attempting. This leads to a belief in some quarters that the allies in the west, reckoning on the heavy cost incident to sna shing the German line there perhaps may seek only to hold their ground, in the belief that the Rus sians will invade Hungary, ultimately to join hands with the allied forces working northward through servia.

 British forces, in occupying Warmbard. German Southwest Africa, have taken what is considered the southern capital and the terminus of the railway system.
 Munition Question
 Excluding active military operations, the questions of munitions and alcohol dominate tho public mind in Great Britain. Lord Kitchener, secretary for war, tonight named committee to round up labor sufficient to produce munitions commensurate with the tremendous de- mand, and the temperance agitation doupttcS VIII itdSt tiic piOduCliNily Ot labor in general.
 What the government proposes to do with the liquor problem will not be dis closed until Parliament reassembles April IA, but the idea of general prohi- bition is not seriously entertained. The authorities seem to hope that the desired results will be obtained by voluntary ab- stinence, coupled with restrictions on sa- looms.
 Bulgaria and Servia have exchanged notes, which on the surface appear to end the recent border incidents, but official Servian circles in London insist that the latest outbreak was engineered from Bulgaria, and that Austrians. as well as Turks, were found among the dead raid CTS.

eyes the bonds of romance were bro
ken, since he was the son of thief.
The young man sat alone on the
porch of the farmhouse the third
night after the horrid revelation. His
father and the woman were quarrel
ins within the darkness. His pony
was at the door; yet he could not
make up his mind to go-to Mary.
To tell her that their whole little
dream was done bore upon him more
desperately. He felt the need of her
now more than ever in his great
loneliness and misery. To those
within he had spoken no word since
the fall of the house itself He had
been to town several times, and i'm
agined that the faces of men were
turned against him. Mary was the
last and dearest of his attractions in
the land grown desolate. A carriage
bore down the road in the dark and
stopped at the Crossman gate.
''rom-oh, Toni" was called
softly.
She had come to him. He gained
the seat beside her, and as they
drove away the old mans voice was
raised to frenzied pitch within the
house. 1t may have been that the re-
action had clutched him and that he
perceived the iron rod with which
he had to deal in this woman.
"Why that nonsense, Tom?" Mary
was saying. You have done moth

are still young and can wait. The
fact Is, am not going to let you give
me up-that's all there is about it,"
His throat tightened so that he
could not speak, but he kissed her.
"Those men must be paid before
we can be happy, Mary he said fin
ally. II believe still that father could
have done no such thing if his
mind had been right. The debts
come home to me-"
Some way will turn up, Tom, "
she said cheerfully. and though he
could not see how he was to earn
, $4,000 in short of lifetime. the
courage of the girl nerved and
cheered him.

Hodge drew up his team before the
Crossman door and entered good nat
uredly
Hello, john he said. 81 Just
called around to tell you that the
note for S2,50O which l indorsed for
you is due day after tomorrow"
The old mans face was grayish-
white, the wrinkles were stretched
tightly about his shrunken mouth,
and his rheumy eyes darted from the
carpet to the hearth. II can't pay,
Lafe," he muttered.
i've lost it-all, and mine," the
old man added.
Hodge paled. He thought the far
mer crazy and called out to the wom-
an. whats Crossman talking
about, Lie? He says he can't meet
the note | indorsed for him three
months ago"
II don't know anything about the
old mans business" she said an
grily, and re-entered the kitchen.
Hodge drove back to town, deeply
hit enraged and mystified. At the
bank the dominating fear which had
grown upon him for the past half
hour was realized. Old man Cross
man no longer had an account there.
The bank held three other Crossman
notes besides the one Hodge had in
dorsed, all due in two days. The ag-
gregate sum was $4,000. The
county records showed no transac-
tion of any kind involving an invest
ment in the name of Crossman. The
days investigation proved that the
old man had deliberately raised
$4,000, added it to his life's saw
ings, and turned the whole over into
his wife's name with the attempt to
defraud.
Such had been the fruits of the
, plottings of disordered mind.
Ii was variously estimated, includ-
Ing the stolen $4,000, that the old
man had given the woman from
, 100000 to $4,000. In the eyes Of
the law the money could not be at
| tached. The creditors went in body
| to the Crossman farmhouse. A
couple of sentences from Eliza en-
bodied the substance of the satisfac-
| tion they received:
You kin talk till you're black in
the face. but l hain't got nuthin' t.
| do with the old mans dealin's. Ye
should know bettr'n to lend money
TO one in his dotidge!"
The affair dazed young Tom Cross
man. A good mother had redeemed
him from the tainted Crossman
breed, and he took the dishonor
home. His fathers marriage had
robbed him of his heritage, and the
eliminating dishonesty had robbed
him of his sweetheart-for in his
