SAYS RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE NOW AT A COMPLETE STAND
 STILL.

VIENNA, April 26.--The Russian offensive movement in the Carpath- ians has now been brought to a com plete standstill and all their efforts to advance in any quarter have failed.

BATTLE OF CALAIS IS THE
 GREATEST OF THE WAR

the gigantic nature of the struggle can only be surmised. The Germans have evidently been preparing for the moment with all their secrecy and thor9ughness as they have now sue ceeded in concentrating an immense force for the attack. The British army is aiding the French and Bel gians to bear the brunt. The number of British troops in that region is in the hundreds of thousands and that British arms are being put to the most critical test of their history is made evident from the short bulletins issu- ed, meager as the information con- tained in them is.

Chas. Leeger Kicked
In Leg By Horse

On Wednesday afternoon Chas. J.
Leeger, of Grantwood, was kicked or
the left leg by his horse and injured
so severely that DR.. Brundage was
forced to take four stitches in the
nasty wound. Mr. Leeger is con-
fined to bed as a result of the ac-
cident and will probably have to re-
main so for several weeks. How
ever, he is taking his misfortune
cheerfully and even has a good word
to say for the horse, which was not
in the least to blame he insists.
He was driving along Columbia
avenue when omething attracted his
attention so that the reins slipped
from his hands and became entangled
in the horses legs. He stopped the
horse with word, and got out to
untangle the mess. 1t was while thus
engaged that the animal became
frightened and kicked it's kindly
owner on the left leg just few
inches below the knee. The ugly
cash made by the iron shoe bled pro-
fusely and was so painful that Mr.
Leeger could not walk. The Rev. A.
c. Church, who happened along,
escorted the injured man to the home
of DR.. Brundage, where it was
found that the horses shoe had cut
to the bone, scraping some of the
enamel from that member, but not
fracturing it.

The Woman's League, of Palisade
will give an informal tea on next

five, November II, at the home of
Mrs. Carl Stulpnagel, to aid the
starving women and children of
Poland, the territory most cruelty
devasted by this unhappy war now
waging in Europe.
Madam Marcella Sembrich, the
famous prima donna, is president of
the Poland Relief Society, of New
York, and has inaugurated a cam
paign for helping the unfortunates
of Poland. His Eminence, Cardinal
Farley, and number of we'll known
prominent people, are also interested
in the work of helping Poland, and
are on the committee. Many have
already gladly responded to Madam
Sembrich's appeal, and the lady mem
bers of the Palisade League hope
that many friends will follow the in
vitation that is given most cordially
to everybody. Also, the members of
the Grantwood, Edgewater and Morse
mere clubs are specially invited to be
present. Every cloud has it's silver
lining and even this sad war gives
us an opportunity to come to the
recue of those that are helpless and
deSolate.
