Londo March 1.-The efforts Of
the German and Austrian armies to
crumple both ends of the long Rus

London. March 1.-The great battle in
Poland still is to be decided. although
latest reports indicate that the Ger

checked. The Russian statement that
the Germans have been defeated in
tine region of P~rzasnysZ. and the Ger

the city leave in doubt the situation on
that part of the front where the battle
at present is being Waged most fiercely.

general staff claims to have forced
back the Germans along a front of 25
miles in the Przasnysz region.
The impression is growing in Eng

WARSAW AGAIN SAVED,
IN RUSSIAN OPINION

P~etrograd, Wia Lbndon), Feb. 27.-
The German infantry forces are being
forced back across the River Niemen
in northern Poland and the Russian
general staff believes that another Ger
man plan of attack upon Warsaw has
been countered successfully.
Relationship is OWNED between the
bbo effort of the Germans to cut
railroad communication to the north
of Warsaw and the coincident resump-
ton of pronounced activity near Bor-
lomow, on the central Poland front.
west of Warsaw. To quote the opin-
ion of a staff officer, as deduced from
these operations by the Germans at
widely separated centers, 'evidently
the Germans intend to push forward
again in the center. Tor this purpose
they need reinforcements of troops on
the Borjimow front. In h Kovno dis
trict activity is diminishing. Hence it
is widen that the Germans are again
using their perfect railway system to
throw over troops from Kovno toward
Borjlmow.
In order that we shall not be able
to do the same thing. namely, rush
troops southwark to the Bzura and
Rawka rivers. the Germans are MAX
ing desperate efforts first with cavalry
and then with infantry, to cut the
railroad from Warsaw north to Wilma.
Thanks to the watchfulness of our
commanders and to the indomitable en-
ergy of IL troops, the efforts of the
enemy lave been futile
This officer added that even though
the German plans had succeeded, this
achievement would no have influenced
greatly the Russian position at Bor-
1imow. so long as the other railroad
lines from Warsaw to the front re-
manned in commission. He said fur

People Who Do Big Things Do Not Let
 Themselves Be Held.
 It was on the football field at one of the large colleges. A big tackle had been broughs over to the varsity field from one of the class elevens. It was his first experience with the big team. He played a fine game until the other side had the ball. Then he did not "break through" as he should. The coach finally stopped the play and went over to him.
 "What is the trouble? Why don't you get through?" he said.
 "The man opposite me is not playing fair He is holding me-" said the tackle.
 "If he holds you again I'll put you off the fieldr' flashed back the coach.
 Of course, as the tackle said, it is against the rules to hold an opponent unless he has the ball, but the coach wanted results and not excuses. His position was that man ought somehow to break away; that no man must let himself be held. And that is true, no one ought to let himself be held. The excuse may be excellent, but player who is held is put out of the game as effectively as if he were off the field. He might just as well be off the field. The people who accomplish things worth while in the world are those who will not let themselves be held. There have always been things enough to hold them. They might have found excellent excuses, but they have not had to use any excuses.-Youth's Com panion.

ARMY BUGLES.
Fashioned From Sheets of Copper by
 an lnoenious Procesa

Fashioned From Sheets of Copper by
 an Ingenious Process.
 From start to finish the making of an army bugle is process of much ingenuity and interest. A bugle may not at first sight present a striking re- semblance to it's cousin, the coach horn, but one Is practically curled up version of the other, for before the bugle is bent into shape it consists of u narrow tube fifty-one inches long.
 In the first stage of manufacture the bugle is cut out of sheet copper and rolled into two thin cylinders, technic- ally known as the "belr' and the branch" The narrow tube, which is the .bell," is gradually shaped out on molds until the opening is the regular four inches in diameter. 1t is then .'spun" on a wonderful machine, and an expert workman takes the rough edges off the copper.
 Both sections are afterward filled with molten lead preparatory to the bending stage, and it is this solid stuffing which prevents the tube breaking in the process and allows it to keep its shape The expert workman, with the aid of formidable lever and hammer bends the bugle into the familiar shape. the lead being subsequently melted out at charcoal furnace, after which the instrument is sent off to the polishers.
 One of the most intricate parts of the bugle is the mouthpiece, which is made of nickel silver and turned out on a special lathe. With the mouthpiece fixed the instrument is ready for the testing room.-Pearson's Weekly.

It is floating illustration of the fact that parliament is some, times-only sometllses. of course needlessly fussy. When the bill em- towering the corporation of London to build the bridge was passing through the house of commons provision was inserted requiring the stationing of this tug as aforesaid. so as to be handy ''in case of wreck" The promoters pro tested that the cost of the tug would far exceed any benefit to be derived from it. The commons thought they knew better and insisted. The bridge was opened about sixteen years ago. and the tug has cost the city of Lon don f31 per week ever since. Yet its services Gin case of wreck" or any other emergency have never once been required.-London Express.
