summary issued by the Russian war Of

As set forth in this review, the prin-

into Russian hands since their offensive
began on March 10, and up to April u,
the opposing forces, including those that

The resistance of the Teutonic allies
is described as most desperate. and along
the line from Bartfeld to Uzsoll pass the
Austro-German forces We're estimated at
5000 men.
The subsequent fighting is declared to

OF WAR ON
ENGLISH BUSINESS
Problem of Unemployed Is
Eliminated-Many
Lines Thrive

London, April S,-tCorrespondence

of the extent to which business in
England has been disrupted by the war
produces some unexpected results.
First, the war has eliminated for the
moment the problem of unemployme nt.
No able bodied person need be idle.
Although the first half of the year
1914 was time of declining business.
the second half saw many industries
working at high pressure to satisfy
war demands.
The most notable exceptions are the
cotton trade and industries concerned
with the production of luxuries.
The cotton industry passed throue h
one OF the worst periods in its history,
hut a decided Improvement has set in
end Lancashire has begun to get d
number of government orders.
Wooden and worsted factories have
experienced difficulty in keeping pace
with the tremendous orders fer
clothing for the armies. The Belfast
linen trade has been active. as have
been the boot and shoe and other leath-
er industries.
The building trade has been more ac-
tive than might have been expected
Cne time of Importance was the con
struction OF army huts and hospitals
Construction and repairing of warshiTs

| tonnage in the ship yards. The iron
and steel has been kept busy by the
demand for armament and weapons.

still.

GERMANS READY TO
USE POISONOUS GAS,
SAYS WAR PRISONER

General Headquarters of the British
Army in France April 1S.--(Via London.
April IS, $40 p. m.)-The oft-repeated
but unauthenticated report that the Ger
mans are using deadly gases in their
trench warfare has been attested by a
German prisoner speaking voluntarily to
a British staff officer.
The officer related to the Associated
Press correspondent the description given
by this prisoner of tliree-foot cylinders
charged with a gas which they purposed
releasing at some expedient time, the
plan being to kill or stupefy the British
If possible. This expedient, the German
said was to be followed by a vigorous
infantry attack, much as infantry adj
vances after artillery clears the way -
1.-The prisoner exhibited cotton WOOL
said the officer. which he said had been
supplied them to plug their noses and
prevent the gas from killing them also.
1t is not quite clear to me, however,
why shift of the wind wouldn't turn
the tables, blowing the gas into the
German trenches instead of ours

Who Saves Money
BY ELLIS c. HoLLuMs

Willie Lenderman lives at 1900 Park

Herald TO a very large number OF resi-
dents of E,nsley every morning in the
year. He has been doing this almost
two years and enjoys the friendship of
large number of his subscribers
Those among the subscribers who do
not know him should make it point
to meet the boy. He is rafting good
fellow and we'll worth knowing.
Willie plays baseball. Of course lie
is a pitcher and has an eve that can't
be beat. lie grooves practically all tho
balls he throws and has control of an
inshoot that is very puzzling to the
batter. He plays baseball as he carries

pinches and always getting there with
what he sets out to do. He hasn't de-
eided what he Will do when he grows
up but he will decide this very essen

and will be found climbing the ladder
of success in the next few years.
Most Age-Hera1d carriers learn early
In life that 1t Is the best policy to save
money and Willie Is one of those fell
lows who know how to save. He is
turning his money over to his mother
each week and asking her to take care

sum when he gets started for himself
