200 MILES OF TRENCHES

A correspondent of the New York
Times, describing trip along the
line of the French, British and Bel
gian forces, speaks Of visiting a
stretch Of fighting front 12 miles Ia
length, on which the line was so ir.
regular and so intricate, that the to-
tai length of the successive trenches
with their zigzag approaches, etc, was
200 miles. Although this seems to be
an exaggerated estimate, it is by no
means impossible under the conditio ms
of French warfare as being now car
ried out on the eastern front. Where
the advance is made by yards at a
time. and captured trenches are add
e1 to those of the successful advance,
IT is quite possible that from the fore

the rearmost trenches of the attack.

ELECTRIC CONFECTIONERY.

Electric confectionery shops are to
be found in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The owner of these shops is a great
believer in electricity and he has
equipped his tables with candle lamps
and desk telephone sets. A customer
seats himself at the table, looks at a
handy table directory or menu, finds
the number Of the particular dainty
he desires and gives his order by tele-
phone. A minute later the order is
placed on his table by waiter. The
system saves a great deal Of time be-
cause the walters do not have to make
a trip to the table to find out what
the customer wants, nor do they have
to wait while the customer b dslibsr.

OBSOLESCENT BATTLE
SHIPS TO THE FORE

Very interesting is the fact that
the bulk of the battleships which are
engaged in reducing the forts Of the
Dardanelles are ships whose term of
usefulness was supposed to be near
its end. That estimate, however, was
based upon their ability to stand the
test of battle on the high seas, in
which work, if matched against mod
ern ships, they would be more than
useless. For the particular duty as
singned them in the Dardanelles,
namely, that of silencing the guns Of
small caliber and limited range after
the heavier guns of from 9.4 to ID
inch caliber have been dismounted by
such ships as the Queen Elizabeth,
the Nelson and the Agamemnon, they
are admirably suited. Their 10 and
12-inch shells carrying large charges
of high explosives have proved to be
terribly destructive in wrecking gun
positions, blowing up magazines, etc.
Their armor of from 12 to 16 inches
in thickness and the possession of the
heavy protective decks, which were
given to ships from IS to 20 years
ago, enabled them to withstand the
attack Of 5 and 6-inch shells with
comparative immunity.

LONDON, March 26.--(By Mail to
New York.)-This is story that is
knocking about Germany is brought
back to London by almost every re-
turning American:
The king of Italy, says the German
story, once owned S25,0O0,O00 worth
of Steel stock. The emperor Of Ger
many heard of the thrifty monarch's
purchase of this stock and sent word
to him that Krupp's stock was bet
ter than the American venture. The
krupp stock would pay three times
as much in dividends, said the kaiser,
as Steel.
The king of Italy, the German story
goes, took the kaiser's advice, and
now. if the Berlin story is true, holds
s25, 100000 worth of stock in Krupp's
cannon factory.
And, conclude the Germans, II Italy
goes to war with Germany, the Krupp
stock held by the king Of Italy will
be cancelled. Or at least, the king
Of Italy has good reason to believe Il
will be.

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.
tBy j. w. t. MAsoN.)
Written for the United Press }

tWritten for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, April 1911 a. m.)
The first positive information that
the Russians have decided to use their
Przemysl army for the Hungarian
campaign is contained in the official
announcement from Vienna that large
Russian reinforcements from Pre-
mysl have compelled the Austrians to
give way in the Beskid region.
The Beskids are the highest part of
the Carpathian range, which district
the Lnpkow pass provides railway
communication from Przemysl thru
sor'hsrp calicia into Hungary. Pre-.
mysl capitulated on March %. 1t has
required, therefore, nearly a fortnight
to move the Russian besieging force
over the sixty miles of railway that
separates the San fortress from the
Carpathian battle front. Part of this
time undoubtedly was spent in de-
batting the use to which the Przemysl
army should be put. The Austrian
official report indicated that the in
vasian of Hungary was considered
more important by the Russian gen
eral staff than an effort to capture
Cracow.
This unquestionably is the most ad
vantageous service the fresh Russian
forces can render the czar's western
allies.
IL is not quite yet apparent, how
ever, that the Lupkow pass and its
vastly important railway has fallen
into the hands Of the Russians. Both
Austrian and Russian official reports
define gains and losses very vaguely
so that it is impossible to determine
definitely whether the metal line of
communication into Hungary for
which the Slavs are now fighting, has
been won. in all probability, the
Austrians will retain possession of the
Hungarian side of the mountains in
the Lupkow region. The Austrian
army must be dislodged from the
mountains and driven toward the
plains before the Russians can estab
lish sure ascendancy and make use
of the Magyar railway. 1t is prob
ably that German reinforcements are
being rushed to the assistance of the
hard pressed Austrians. If the Slavs
can establish themselves on the Hun
earian side of the Lupkow pass before
the Germans arrive, they will have
won a highly important tactical ad-
vantage. This is the immediate work
now before the Przemysl army.
