 Miss Davies defense was that Mas sey had made improper overtures to her, and thnt, being alone with him at the Toronto home, she feared ha was about to renew his attentions.

PETROGRAD REPORTS
 GERMAN REPUBT TEHsss


 Petrograd. Feb. 27-The German infantry forces are being thrust back across the river Nfenen in northern Poland and the Russian General Staff believes that another German plan of attack upon Warsaw has been countered successfully.
 Relationship is divided between the stubborn effort of tile eFermans to cut railroad communication to the north from Warsaw and the eoinci- dent resumption to pronounced ac- tivity near Borjimow on the central Poland front west of Warsaw. To quote the opinion of a staff officer as Germans at widely separately cen ters;
 Evidently, the Germans intend to push forward and again in the cen ter. For this purpose they need re- Inducements of troops on the Bor- jimow front. In the Kovno district activity is diminishing. Hence it is using their perfect railway system to throw over troops from Kovno to- ward Borjinow. Thanks to the watchfu1ness of our commands and to the energy of our troops the ef- forts of the enemy have been fu- tiIep
 This officer added that even if the achievement would have influenced the Russian position at Borj1mow so long as the other railroad lines from warsaw to the front remained in commission. He said further that the success which the Russians gre had uncovered the German right flank, operating at Ossowetz. where the artillery engagement still remain ed undecided.

 The respoaldent duly took ftssssAp- pea1s to the Superior Court. from a nnding and award made by g. com missioner under the Workmemss Co1n- pensatfon Act of s1913.
 Its appeal to this court frenn the 1udg1nentsof the Superior court raises the questions, whether the trial court erred CD in holding that 1t had no Jurisdiction to retry issues Of fact but only to revise errors of law or un~ lawful proceedings on the part of the commissioners, CD in holding that the commissioner did not un1aWfu1iy find that the claimant was a partial de- pendenf, t31 in holding that the com missioner acted lawfully in awarding weekly compensation of five dollars for three hundred and twelve weeks on account of ths death of John J. Powers.
 The first question wIether on an- peal to the Superior Court the case is to be tried de novo-zs one Of very great consequence to the workman and to the employer,
 It is also of large eonseQuence fo the states for we are told by counsel that during the short period of the existence Of the Act upwards of I8- e06 cases have been settled or dis posed of under the Act
 The Act neither defines the scope of the appeal nor fixes the proca- duYe. We must ascertain this from a construction of section ST, wfaict gives the appeal but that of neces- sity compals search of all of the standing OF it's spirit and an appre- ciafion of its origin and purp oses.
 The modern theory of the law o1 teTts makes tIas fault of theA owner a prerequisite to g recovery of dam aKers by an injured workman.
 Vewkmsnsa Comp eHsatien Acts such as ours are founded upon the theory of e contract existing between Eorknlan and employer, an implied consideration of which is provision for ceHpensa4fon for injury to the worLnnan arising in ths course of his employment and not through his ia- tsntfona1 or wfIIful misconduct.

Tho Supreme Court has handed down q decision on the compensation law, which de- clares that the courts have no iarfsd diction to retry questions of fact but only to revise err TOTS of laWs or unlawful pro- ceedings on the part of the commissioners
