mittee of twenty clowns selected
from the entire army Of testers. The
''editor" makes his report to this
body and they discuss it and select
those ideas which may be turned to
account on the hippodrome track.
This is the secret of the down-to-
the-minute performances of the
Ringing Brothers skylarkers.
There is not fad of dress, dance or
unusual innovation which they do
not portray in some ludicrous man
ner They pantomime public and
political events, but with so much
good numor that the bitterest of fac
tionists pound each other On the
back and roar with laughter. The
clowns do not fear to enter the land
of invention, but introduce gaudy
painted airships which skim around
in the tent top and explode while
in mid-air. They fit around the
hippodrome track in queer looking
racing cars and highspeed motor
boats. They throw terrible looking
but quite innocent bombs, and shoot
each other from big wooden can
mons. They mimic everybody and ev-
erything. Sandwiched between the
gorgeousness of the new spectacle of
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba
with it's cast of 1850 characters,
ana the daring of the arenic dis
plays, these merry Andrews temper
the entire circus program with the
rarest of comedy.

RUSSIANS PURSUED
 BY TIE GERMANS
RECOVER TRENCHES FROM BRIT. ISH NORTHWEST OF GIVEN
 CHY-STORMEO CHATEAU.

London-With the fall Of Przemysl although this does not appear to be the end of their efforts against the Russians in Gaiicia-the Germans again have turned their attention to the west and simultaneously with the news of the arrival of German re- achievements in Flanders and the Province of Artois, France, come of- ficial reports of their attacks on posi- tions recently captured by the British and French
 They have recovered some trenches from the British northeast of Given chy and have stormed the chateau in the Village of Hooge, part of which the British still hold. although for a time the British were compelled to evaeuate the building which they captured.
 The Germans also claim to be in possession of the sugar refinery at SSuehez, the loss of which they have not previously acknowledged. While these in themselves are considered SHhdii AdIteiS III HillIdiy clFclB Heie, they are believed to be the forerun- ners of a resumption of fighting on a large scale.
 For some time it has been reported that the French were slowly driving out the Germans from strong posi- tions north of Arras and were, in the words of an officer just returned from the front, punching hole in the German line"
 There has been no change on the Austro-Italian frontier, where the Italians in minor engagements have captured a number of positions, but have not as yet come into contact with the main Austrian forces.

AFTER SIEGE OF ONLY A FEW DAYS.

London.-With the capture of Przemysl, accomplished the Austro- German armies achieved the main ob- iect of the great thrust they con- menced against the Russians in West ern Galicia a month ago.
 They have yet to drive the Rus sians farther back and establish them selves in easily defended positions which will enable them to detach forces for operations against Italy and the allies in the west.
 Whether or not they accomplish this, the Teutonic allies have won a great victory and with a suddenness which overshadows all past operations Of the war It was only 10. weeks ago that Przemvsl fell to the Rus sians after a six months investment which was interrupted for short time in November by an Austrian ad- vance.
 With the surrender of the fortress there fell into the Russian hands, ac cording to official reports. 120,000 Aus trians and 500 guns and an immense amount of war material. Most of the forts, however, had been destroyed by the Austrians, and this is considered in military circles here to account for the fact that the fortress succumbed So quickly to the Austro-German at tack
 When the Russians captured PrZemysl, they were pressing tde Austrians across the .Carpathian passes. Then on May } came the news of a great Austro.German drive into Galicia. Advancing slowly but surely and carrying 1000 guns, the Teutons compelled the Russians to fall back until the Russian line ran to the right bank of the San.
