PErRoGRAD. Feb. e.--The marvellous

shifted the lighting in the eastern thea

and the Carpathans. are witnessing en-
gagements which are growing IN inten-

The Germans, utilizing 10000 motor
trucks and the railroads, have suddenly
shifted above 5000 men TO the north
on the Koenigsberg lire, and have
brought up reserves TO reenforce the
Austrians holding the passes OF the
mountains on the Hungarian border.

The Germans apparently are taking tho

All signs point TO the initiation OF a

PARIS, Feb. 9,-The Paris representa-
tive OF Duveen Bros, confirmed to-day
the report of the sale of the Morgan
porcelalns. He said the price paid ~
close to $4,000. 900. and that 40 far as
Is known 20 the art firm the porcelalns
were not bought FOR "A syndicate OF col

In art circles here II is pointed out
that II Nj. Morgan wanted to sell any
of his fathers collections It would be
far easier To fnd a market for porcelans
than for any other articles, for two
reasons, first. because the collection of
which the Garland collection formed tho
nucleus was made when prices were
still low and hence the chance OF the
sale showing Il satisfactory prOit was
more likely. and secondly. because there
are many porcelain buyers In the United
states even at the present time.

The Reed order provided further that

The adoption of this order would of
