OF VSTULA
NOW CENTER OF
ATTENTION
Interest Shifts to New Theater
with Announcement by
Russian General STAFF That
New Great Battle Is On.

London, March 8 Cii:56 p. MI
The center 4 interest on the eastern
front again has shifted with the m
nouncement from Petrograd that a
great battle n developing on the left
bank OF ths river Vistula, at n point
to the west and also southwest OF
Warsaw.
II Is not yet clear. judging from
messages reaching London. which
side has taken the offensive. but IN
spired sources. both In Berlin and
P%etrograd, have been limiting lately
that vital operations might we'll be
expected In this regicn. Messages
from the Russian capital have devel-
oped that the old field OF action In
the direction OF Posen and Silesia
alone could serve as the decisive
battle-ground. while Berlin has been
predicting another brilliant action In
the direction OF Warsaw by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg.
No great activity has been reported
elsewhere on the eastern 'front.' except
that at Rawa, to the southwest OF
Warsaw. where German army head
quarters claim the capture OF 3.4O0
Russians. Il Is possible that this ac-
ton may be a part OF the great battle
which Petrosrad says Il now under
way.
Attacks and counter attacks form
the text OF both the Paris and Berlin
official communications covering the
events on the western battle front,
but there is no indication Of a de-
cisive gain by either side.

THE SOUTH LEON RAID.
In July. 1859. a band of Indians went down
the mountains west Of Comahche on the South
Leon and stole a large lot of horses on Leon
and Mercer's creeks. They were late getting
out. Joe Hicks had a negro who was work
ing at Comanche for Tom Frost. The negro
was a fine carpenter and was building
house for Frost lie worked until dark Fri
day night. The following day being Satur
dav, he started home early in the morning on
Mr.. Frost 5 mule. He passed my house about
sunrise. / then lived one half mile south Of

agreeable things were yet before me will
partly be disclosed to those who have patience
and faith to follow these sketches; the same
faith will be rewarded, too, by many very
funny things.
About noon we crossed the Colorado river
on a ferryboat and marched through the city
to the camp of our regimental headquarters,
which were in the rear and north Of the CAPT

in a hand to-hand contest with their rifles
dubbed the last one fell, but Texas was free.
To the everlasting disgrace of Texas, no
noble monument marks the spot; in fact, when
| first saw it, it was part of livery stable.
Plazas were often filled with immense
chihuahua wagons, all the way from Mon
terey and San Luis Potosi, many of them
with fourteen and eighteen mules hltched
four abreast and the shops filled with Next
can saddles and Navajo blankets and other
Mexican commodities.
At this time San Antonio was far from any
railroad, and enjoyed an immense trade from
Mexico, all of il transacted by these great
wagon trains. The circulating medium was
entirely in silver dollars; when our green
backs were presented the merchant invaria-
bly, discounted them, all prices being in coin;
this discounting of paper money, by the way,
was kept up in Texas long after specie pay
ments had been resumed elsewhere.
The United States arsenal was in an nm
finished condition, having been captured by
the South when Texas seeded, and was not
yet completed; in fact, much OF the impor-
lance of San Antonio, aside from its trade
with Mexico and the Rio Grande is due to
its having been military headquarters for
Texas ever since the close OF the Mexican war
in 1913. We tramped along through the
streets to the San Pedro springs where we
went into camp near some companies OF
United States cavalry stationed there.
The climate of the part of Texas so far
seen by me had taken fast hold on my mind
as approaching the ideal. Many of the early
impressions, written down for these sketches
at the time, subsequent experience and OBJ
servaton have caused me to modify, but the
following verbatim entry in my diary, writ
ten in December 1866, on the climate, have
never yet seen fit to alter Beyond doubt
the balmy and glorious climate, the gorgeous
skies, the glowing sunsets, the pure and brac-
ing atmosphere, the splendid landscapes, can

men who won the independence of Texas in
1886, and built Of the stones brought from
the ruins of the Alamo at San Antonio, where
so many of these heroes laid down their lives.
On the four upper sides of the base on large
letters were the names of Bonham, Bowie,
Crockett and Travis, and beneath them the
names of all the others who persisted there.
The sides of the shaft were embelighed with
appropriate legends, one of which

near future when the railroads shall have ira

our vast heritage will present so many at

invalid as the Empire State of the South

After remaining in camp few days, we
drew clothing for such of the men as needed
it, replenished our supply of rations and hav-
ing exchanged our Mexican train for govern
ment mule teams, set out for Austin, about
ninety or 100 miles distant in a northeasterly
direction.
The character of the landscape now began
TO change and we were very visbly ascend
ing into more elevated, rolling country
wooded for the greater part of the distance.
The second day out of San Antonio, the
more settled and thrifty appearance of the
country indicated our approach to the Ger
man settlement of New Braunfels, which
thriving town we passed through and crossed
the Guadalupe on ferry boat. This whole
region from Austin southwest is settled very
largely by old country Germans, and they
have left their impress of industry order and
