building $50 feet long and with four
wings each 2S5 feet deep. it takes 3D.

RUSSIANS CLAIM
MANY SUCCESSES

Loadon, Feb. lO.-A dispatch
from Cairo, Egypt, states that the
slaughter of the Turkish troops in
the recent fighting at the Suez Canal
was more terrible than anything in
history. The English are still bury
ing the dead by the scores as they
are lying in the desert. The pom
|toons which were sunk in the canal
were filled with dead which are now
being brought to the surface.
London, February 10.-Russia S
sword is dyed crimson with the
blood of the enemy. and the terrific
lighting which has been under way
in the eastern arena of war for days
continues undated.
Several tens of thousands" of the
enemy have fallen in the six days
fighting in front of Berlimow. Cou-
mine and Wole Szydlowiecka, &C
cording to the official Russian state
ment issued today. Corpses are
piled high in front of the cars
forces, and thousands of wounded
lTeutons writhe in agony upon snow
lowered soil of East Prussia, Rus
sian Poland, Galicia and in the
treacherous passes of the Carpa-
lthians. But with thousands dead
and thousands dying on both sides
thousands more are being rushed il
to the struggle.
Both Russians and Austro-Ger-
man forces show an amazing disre-
lgard of slaughter and indifference
toward death if ground can be
gained.
Today's Russian official statement
says of the fighting in the past few
days:
The Germans, who gradually had
been concentrating in East Prussia
with fresh troops, began a series of
energetic reconnaissance, and Feb
ruary 7 they opened offensive oper-
atoms with considerable forces, in
the district between Horzele and
Johannesburg. They undertook at
the same time active operations on
both wings of their front in East
Prussia. In the vicinity of Lasdeh-
men to the east of Tilsit, we drove
back German attack and succeed
ed in almost completely annihilating
one of the German battalions oppos-
ed to us. Following this encounter
our cavalry moved forward in the
direction of Sierpec, travelling over
the road to Rypin.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IL. islS.
Local Tax Bill Passed.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 9.-Certain
provisions and phraseology OF the
Tavenner amendment to the Tax
Segregation bill, relative to local

stitutional requirements aftera series

mitted to both branches OF the

incorporated towns, which are not
taxed for county roads. can levy
a 3O-cent tax. Citizens of towns
which maintain their own streets

bank stock is exempted, and unless
the bank bill, fixing the rate a
$1.o5, is passed the stock will b.
taxed according to the full Stat
and local rates.
Leaders in the tax reform move
ment were confident tonight that a
tomorrow's session of the Legls
lature recess would be taken TO
two weeks to allow time for con
ference committees to correct pend
ing amendments to the bill creatin
ing an advisory State tax com
mission, so that they will conforr
with provisions of the code Of Vii
GINA. Many amendments hav
been adopted to companion bill
other amendments are being cor
sidered and a great many of thes
are not in accord with various SCI
tons of the code.

Yankee Sells Idea
To Johnny Bull

New York, Feb. 9.-How Lon
don will repel Zeppelin attack
was told today at the Aero Club
of America, by Joseph A. Stein
metz, inventor Of the air mine.
Mr.. Steinmetz, who is vice-presi-
dent of the Aero Club of Penn
sylvania, and a prominent auto
mobile and motorboat builder of
Philadelphia, has just returned
from England, where he has sold
the rights to use his deyice.
One of the Steinmetz deyici S
consists of a small hydrogen ba .
loon, which lifts a highly ex-
plosive and imfamma BILE bomb.
Each balloon is attached to a
fine wire, two miles long. which
is wound on a windlass. Each
mile of wire weighs only four
pounds and has tensile strength
of twenty pounds.
These balloons are to be held
captive on the roofs of tail build
ings and are released when the
Zeppelins are sighted. The bal
loon shoots up above the dirigi-
Bile hits the hair-like wire the
balloon with its bomb is drawn
in contact with the Zeppelin and
an explosion follows.
The other Stelnmetz device
consists of bomb carried by an
aeroplane suspended by a wire
several hundred feet below the
machine.
