GERMANY SENDS
SOLDIERS into
EAST PRUSSIA
Russian Occupation of Part of Her Do
main is Likely to be Very Short Lived.
Russians Press Austrians in the Carpa-
thians.

London, Feb. 12.-The Russian in
carlson into East Prussia appears
judging from dispatches reaching
London, likely to be as short lived
as were the previous Russian raids
into this same district. Germany's
superb equipment and strategic rail-
ways in this territory have enabled
her within a few days to throw i'm
mense bodies OF troops against the
invaders.
In the present case the German
soldiers appear to have been rushed
into East Prussia from both Poland
and interior points.
In the Carpathians the situation
looks favorable to the Russians VINO
are pressing against the Austrian de-
lenses at three of the most important
mountain passes and this in spite OF
the difficulties interposed by snow
blocked roads. Berlin admits that
the Russians have entered Hungarian
territory at several points in the Car
pathian district, but declares that
these positions were most dearly
bought in view of the terrible casual
ties inflicted by Austrian artillery
and machine guns on the Russian
massed formations.
In Russian Poland the Germans
hold the belief that Russia is pre-
pairing to fall back to her second line
and the Russian trench defenses in
that region will be assisted by the
flooding of great sections of the in
tervening country.
Blockade Of German Coast
The London newspapers profess to
believe that the German submarine
attack on the British steamer Laer-
ties flying the Dutch flag will precip-
itate more stringent measures
against German trade, which was
promised by Premier Asquith in a
speech delivered yesterday in the
house of commons. The Daily Mail
says it believes the government will
announce complete blockade oil
the German coast as result OF
which all goods to Germany by sea
will be liable to seizure.
A wireless dispatch from Berlin
reports that an aeroplane, presum
ably French, has dropped bombs in
the harbor of Flushing which Is
Dutch territory, but no news of such
an occurrence has been received from
| Holland.
The Balkan states evidently are
furthering their endeavors to reacl

fortunate Principal features
Of Ancient Civilization.

In the remote Businesses e a huge
known to the civilized world of Eu'
rope and Asia 400 years ago-the An
des OF South America-there existed q
civilization so remarkable that the
most famous of the historians of the
conquest said of It: Laws so benefi-
cent have never been enjoyed by any
country under any Christian monarch,
or under any kings. whether of Asia,
Africa or Europe That, writes c. X.
Enock, in THE Secret Of the Pacific
is not an eXaggeration.
Among the most remarkable laws OF
the lncas were those concerning taxa
ton. The principal feature of those
laws was that the taxes were not paid
in money, but in work and In produce,
whether manufactured or grown. The
Inca emperors thought It unjust to
demand that taxes should be paid In
any kind of commodity that the peo-
pie could not produce by their own
personal labor.
The people also paid another sort OF
tribute. They made clothes, shoes and
arms for the soldiers, and for the poor,
who could not work themselves, ow-
ing to age or inflrmity. The cloth
was made OF wool from the flocks OF
llamas that abounded in the noun
tains. On the plains Of the seacoast,
where the climate Is warm and they
do not dress in woolens, the people
made cotton clothes, the cotton being
supplied from the crops of the en-
peror. The shoes were made in tho
provinces where aloes were most
abundant, for they we're made Of the
leaves Of tree called maguey. Each
province furnished its own produce,
and no province had to supply any
thing that did not belong to 1t.
There was a benefcent mandate
that forbade beggary and restitution;
that, of course, followed upon due pro-
vision in their laws. Every citizen
! was provided for, theoretically and
practically no man need be idle; no
man need lack land or seed, or imple'
ments for cultivation; therefore, no
one was permitted to beg. II any
we're found doing so, 1t was clear
proof OF idleness, for the incapable
were provided for; and contempt and
punishment were meted out on all
tramps, vagabonds and idlers.

TWO RANCHES HOLDING

Connecticut Men Forced to Abandon Property for
 Lack of Ammunition

Guavmas. Mexico, Dec. 22, (Via Ra- dio to San Diego, CaL) Dec. 23.-Ha- oui Indians still have possession Of all property in the Yaqui Valley, except two ranches. one being owned by an American named Bruss, where he, to- gether with another American aud eight Germans, is supposed to be Eold- ing out, although no news has been received from them since Monday, when the second Yaqui raid began,
 According to accounts received to- dav from settlers, the Indians have destroyed all the buildings and prop ertv where they have taken charge, but as yet no reports have been re- ceiyed of any Americans or other foreigners being killed.
 On account of lack of ammunition Waldo Sheldon and Barrett Jones, two young men from Greenwich, Conn, who were conducting large ranch and who last spring were successful in driving off the Indians, were compel led to abandon their property during the night, and after a long journey through the Indians lines, succeeded in getting out with only skirmish in which no one was injured.
 Most of the settlers are practically destitute. it is said. An official of the Richardson Construction com pany received a telephone message from Montero, one of the Yaqui chiefs, stating that the Indians de- sired to have a conference in the mountains with Admiral Winslow, commanding the United States Pacific fleet, who is here aboard the cruiser Gan Diapo for the purpose of pre- senting their views to the Americans. He further announced that the In- dians were holding in captivity Mrs. John Lehr. two young girls and two children, all of the same family. They were carried away by the Indians dur ing the raid on Seuaquegran last month.
 It is reported that Mrs. Lehr is Mexican woman whose husband is an American.
