A NEW RELIGIoN-m the days
when Columbus discovered America
this country was. a wilderness. Where
are the happy hunting grounds
now? They are growing vegetables.
When the bible and its religions were
invented the old world was wilder

failure since they began. The cap
italists of Europe hold the Jews,
Christians and Freethinkers by the
ears to kill each other.
No use, the old humbug must go

ONLY A BABY
BY Derf Gaser

Only baby, bless its bright eyes,
What could be sweeter under the
skies?
What more blithesome, happy and
gay,
Than this little angel God sent our
way.
Only a baby, this joy divine,
Upon our cherries hearth shall shine,
And bless our home and make it
bright
With its own happy, baby light.
Perhaps it brings a little care;
Happiness with anxiety must always
share;
The joy but all the brighter grows
While trouble into the shadow goes.
Only a baby, Gods gift to man;
Guard it and shield it as best you can.
Some day it's own it will reclaim
To give to it fairer name.

GERMANS PUSHING
 WINNING CAMP AIGN

London, Feb. 16.-The general offen- sive of the Teutonic allies along the extended eastern front is continuing from reports reaching London, but without any visible forward movement on the front toward Warsaw or in the Carpathians.
 The Bucharest report that the Aus trians have re-occupied Czernowitz, the capital of Bulowina, has not been received from any other source but Petrograd admits officially that the Austrians are still advancing in Bulk owina. in considerable force and that desperate fighting marks the opera tions in the passes of the Carpathians where the Russians are claiming minor successes resulting in the capture of men and munitions of war.
 In East Prussia, the Russians have not yet regained their fortified lines and the German advance, while not checked, seems to British observers to be proceedings with less speed.
 Paris reports from the western front that the sole activity consists in early enga gements in which the guns of the ing batteries northeast of Ypres and destroying German trenches at Botu- rains.
 In diplomatic circles the reply of Germany to notes from neutral powers concerning Germany's proposed ma rine war zone is awaited with inter est The German press is limiting that satisfactory. assurance by Great Brit ain on the question of neutral flags would constitute the best safeguard to American shipping.

 Creditors Of
 Grand Rapids

There are over 5000 creditors of the Grand Rapids Furniture Co.,, ac- cording to the sch hedules of the de- funct Fairfield avenue conc arn filed today in the office of Referee in Bankruptcy John W. Banks. Most of these are householders who made de- posits for furniture which they new CT received.
 A According to the figures announc- ed today the total liabilities are s9). 48t.S2, and the assets $24.209. In the liabilities are wages due, $5T5 50; secured claims. $1,06o; unsecured claims, $91,845.82.

Official
 VIEWS OF w ar
GERMAN

Berlin, Feb. 16.-(By wireless to Say vile. N. Y.)-The German staff today gave out a report on the progress of the war reading as. follows:
 Western theatre of the war: The attacks of the enemy upon the trench es taken by German troops from the English near St. Hoy were yesterday repulsed; otherwise there have been no important developments in the west.
 Eastern theatre of the war: The fighting and the pursuits on and be- yond the East Prussian frontier ara proceeding very favorably. In Poland, north of the Vistula, German troops have occupied Bielsk and Flock after 8, short engagement About 1000 pris- oners were taken. South of the Wis tula there have been no important de- velopments.
 Foreign newspapers are publishing the most absurd rumors concerning immense German losses in the fighting to the east of Bolimow, Russian PO- land, which began in February It can be said that the German losses in these attacks were small in proportion to the successes attained

NICHOLS WILL
 HANOI. E ESTATE OF LATE FANNY CROSBY
Bequeathed Bulk of Estate to Sister and to Mrs.
 H. D. Booth

In the will of Fanny Crosby, blind hymn writer. filed for probate today. Mrs. Florence ". Booth, wife of Henry D. Booth of 226 Wells street with whom she spent the last years Of her life, is made the chief bene- hciary. From the provisions Of the will it would appear that Miss Crosby possessed no great abundance of money or of this worlds goods. She had no real estate. At least there is no provision in the will for the dis position of anything beyond personal property. How much money she had cannot be determined until an inven- tory is filed. Her holdings in coin of the realm are presented in deposits in savings banks, all of which, wheth- ier deposited in her name or in the name. of her neice, Mrs. Booth, she beQueaths to the latter.
 The filing of the will in the probate court today disclosed rather surpris- ing information concerning the dis tinguished hymn writer, as it was be- 1ieved that she was very wealthy. She made no bequest to any church or charity. Beyond, the bequests of the money in savings banks to Mrs Booth, she directs that the latter shall receive one-half the income from any books. hymns of or writing which she has contracted for and on which there are royalties yet due. She then directs that the other half of the income from such royalties be a trust fund to be handled by Mrs. Booth, the income to be paid to Miss Crosby's sister, Mrs. Julia M. Athing- ton of 413 Fairfield avenue this city. Mrs. Booth has the power to invest and re-invest this income as she shall see fit.
 How much money Miss Crosby had in savings banks cannot be estimated The jewe1ry she possessed she divides as follows. Pin to sister, Julia M. Arlington; locket to her neice, Adel- bert White; cross to her neice, Flor ence w. Booth; chain to grand neice, Mary Upham Currier.
 The residue is to be divided in equal parts between her neice, Mrs. Booth and the trust fund for her. sis ter, Mrs. Arlington.
 Attorney E. K. Nicholson is the ex- ecutor.
 Judge Miller of the probate court set a. hearing for Friday afternoon at S:30 for the appointment of apprais- CTS.
 Attorney Nicholson is given author ityN to arrange for the publication of any biography, hymns, books or writ ings>of Miss Crosby not yet published
