New-York tribune., 1915-03-24

early in the afternoon the word sped
from the prefecture that Przemysl had
been taken. Within an hour crowds
were fastening to the main streets and
squares. An immense procession OF
citizens Of all classes-workmen. un-
dergraduate students of the Women 8
University. wounded soldiers, nurses
and priests-marched singing, through
the streets to a service of rejoicing
before the Plestna Memorial Chapel
near the Kremlin gates.
Petrograd Enthusiastic.
The celebrations at Petrograd de-
veloped as the day advanced. Inc
greatest numbers gathered IN the IN.
dustrial districts on the outskirts OF
the city. Directors of factories, with
their Office stats and workmen, formed
in great legions and joined the many
thousands in the tramway parks. Bear
ing the flags Of Russia and her aIlles,
the crowds sang the Russian anthem
and other hymns and visited the monu-
ments of national heroes. Under the
drifting snow outside the hazan Cathe-
dral there was an imposing spectacle.
Another great procession passed our
ing the early hours + the fine starry
night TO the Neva Quay, where enthusl-
astic cheers were raised outside the
British and French embassies. The
ambassadors appeared and thanked and
congratulated the Russians.
The nights rejoicings eliminated in
tremendous cheering around the Alex
ander column in the square Of the
Winter Palace. where orators saluted
the army's achievement and declared
the capture of Przemysl must seal the
fate of the Hapsburg empire. The peo-
pie responded with acclamation when
the speakers affirmed the unbreakable
union of the Allies.
General Seliwamoff, who commands
the victorious army at Przemysl, is
nearly seventy years old. He has seen
service in all Russia's wars since the
Turkish war of 1877, and served with
distinction during the Boxer troubles
and the Manchurian campaign. He is
member of the upper house, and left
that assembly for the field.

Attack on Germany
from South Pictured

London, March 23.-That the fall of
PrZemysl is far more important even
than is generally stated by the experts
as it leads to the opening Of the road 10
Cracow, the capture Of which will def
nitely mark the beginning of the end
Of the war, is the opinion Of John
Buchan, the military authority, whose
lecture yesterday Sir Edward Grey
made the occasion for a notable speech.
Mr. Buchan to-day, discussing the stu
alton for The Tribune, said:
"When Cracow falls the end Of the
war will be in sight. The Russians
will then be at the headwaters of the
River Oder, upsetting all the German
calculations and circumventing prac-
tically all the German fortihcations,
which have been built only with the
object of defending against an attack
from the east. Now the fall Of
Przemysl opens the way for an advance
on Cracow. In this fashion il gives
the Russians an opportunity for clear
ing the Carpathian passes, without
which Cracow could not be taken, for,
as the Russians advanced, their flank
and rear would be exposed. This the
Russians well knew, for they went
through this experience earlier in the
war. They were up to Cracow's guns
in fact, had commenced an attack
when through the Carpathian passes
came the Austrians, and the Russian
had to clear out.
New Lines Available.
with Przemysl in their hands the
Russians can now devote attention 10
the Carpathians, and have every chance
of success. More than 100000 men are
released by Prze.lysl's capitulation, and
lines of communication of great value,
hitherto unavailable on account of the
Austrians' possession of Przemysl, are
now open, making speedy movements Of
large Russian forces TO required points
much easier. If Russia can gain the
Carpathian passes, and hold them, as
she doubtless next will endeavor to do,
she will be able to advance a great
force on Cracow.
"Once In Cracow, the Russians are in
Silesia, which is just as much Germany
as Westphalia The road to Berlin will
be open. think the Russians will get

Additional Industries.

The big new plant OF the Arkansas
Oak Flooring company, recently erect
ed after the formation Of the company
by local and Michigan manufacturers,
stars operations Monday next, with
abot SO men in the mill. The COM
pany will produce oak flooring of the
highest grades, and will use about
10000 feet of raw lumber each day
1t has already purchased 100000 or
more feet OF hardwood lumber from
the timber owners and saWmills OF
this section.
The opening OF the new oak floor
ling mill puts Pine Bluff this spring
bit ahead of last spring in the matter
of manufacturing enterprises by just
that much. In addition to that, indi-
cations are plentiful now that big
canning factory, erected SOHO years
ago at a cost of about $4,000. will be
put into operation as soon as the raw
material is ready for harvest by the
farmers, ard will be kept in operation
through to tie enc of the season, pro-
ducing approximately 5000 cans or
fruit and vegetables each day. TWO
new broom factories, each producing
about one gross of brooms per day,

ed for paving Cherry street at a cost
of $4,000, and work will be started
within the next six weeks. Another
Improvement district has been formed
to pave Laurel street and Fifteenth

believed will aggregate approximately
$4,000.

The opening of the new $7oo,ooo

over the bridge from the northern end
of the county, it is expected the resi-
dents and business people Of the city
will be called upon to stand the great
err part of this expenditure.
The city having lost an annual in
come of something like $4,000 be-
cause the saloons have been closer,
a serious deficit is before the city
council but in the preparation of the
budget for the ensuing year the alder
men have figured on So per capita
street tax, levied against - all male
residents between the ages of Is and
Is years. This tax, it is estimated,
will bring in about $4,000, to be de-
voted exclusively t. street wirk, a
sum sufficient to maintain excellent
streets in all sections of the city,
particularly as nearly all of it will
be expended on the dirt roads.
Bank Deposits Grow.
Formal announcement of the
organization of new national bank,
as "a result of the recent sale of the
assets of the defunct Bank of Pine
Bluff, is likely to be made within the
next few days, adding another big
business enterprise to the city. Sew
eral new business houses have open
, ed their doors, here, and the old
houses al lclaim to be doing as GOOD
business as they did last year at this
time Bank deposits, and particular
ly savings bank deposits, show a con-
tinued increase, while the business al
the postoffice is larger now than 1t
was last year at this period.
All these things indicate that Pine
Bluff has suffered less as a result
OF the war and the low price of cot
ton than almost any other city OF
equal size in the country. and the
new slogan here is, "Whats the mat
ter with Pine Bluff? She's all right.
