Greatest of all Times

western armies supplied as long as

Some OF the officers on the stan Of
Gen. Won Eichhorn told me that Rus
STA is in dangerous position. The
Germans are coming up through
Gahcia. forming a half circle from
that end Of the front to the east
Prussian end. This semi-circle Will
Sradually close upon the Russians un-
III they are annihilated.
The Russians are lighting like
devils because they know they are
fighting for their very existence. They
have already got every able bodied
man enlisted in the active army and
a great number of cTipples.
The Germans have 100000 re-
sruits now training ready for the
spring campaign and these will more
than offset Kitchener's new army. Al
together the position Of the Germans
is excellent.
The difference between the cam
paigning of the Germans and Rus
slams is easily seen along the east
Prussian frontier. on the Russian
side the villages, towns and home
steads are the same as they were be-
fore the war. but on the German side
everything is in ruins"

STEAMER is FIRED ON
BY AMERICAN GUNNERS
AdenUald, Hamburg American YES

Proper Papers.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. March %.
The Ham burg American steamer
OdenWald. which has been running in
and out of this port since the out
break Of the war and which was sus-
pected of carrying supplies to the
German sea raider Karlsruhe when
she was i'm the West Indies, was fired
on by the United States gunners at
FL MORO Sunday when she attempted
10 leave without clearance papers.
She was struck by shell. but suf-
fered no serious injury and returned
To port.
The Odenwald left this port some
time ago with 10000 tons o. coal and
returned shortly afterward with her
bunkers practically empty on that
occasion she went out without clear
ance papers and it was reported that
the American officer in charge of the
port had informed the captain Of the
Odenwald that if he tried that game
again he would fire on the ship. The
captain of the Odenwald applied for
clearance papers on March is and
they were refused pending instruc-
lions from Washington. He started
out without them Sunday and the
American commander kept his word.

NEW YORK. March 22.-"The last
battle between Germans and Russians
on the east Prussian frontier, when
the 10th Russian army OF 25O,O00 men
was annihilated was the greatest in

Fox. an American correspondent who
arrived from Germany Sunday on the

he witnessed the battle in a German
armored aeroplane at a height of g.
900 feet.

"Oh. no. Snake poison wouldn't kill

was not smiling now. His face was

"a FTER ALL" went on Godfrey.
"a there is one thing that neither

that this Frenchman came from neav-

his death while trying to accomplish

No; he's not registered ut any of

heard of him He belongs to none of

have dropped in from the clouds
We've cabled our Paris office TO look
him up. We may hear from there to-
night. but even if we discover the
identity of Theophile d'Aurelle. it
won't help us any"

learn something from the Paris police
The dead mans Bertillon measure

get at motives until we find out some
thing about him."
But, Godfrey" | said. 'hOw was it
done? That is what stumps me- How
was it done?"
"Ah" agreed Godfrey. That's it!
How was it done? | told you it was

added. Il haven't sent off that cable"
ANY time tonight will do. 1t will

He led the way down the stair.
Parks met us in the lower hall.
