STEADILY into Austria along
the line running north of the
Gulf of Triest. Apparently
the Austrians as yet have Of
fered no serious resistance,
although further west there
has been severe fighting.
An official statement from
Rome announces the occupa-
tion of the Austrian town of
Grado. 1t states that the
squadron of Italian aero
planes successfully attacked
the Triest-Nabresina rail-
road, probably cutting the
line. Additional territory
along the Tyrol frontier also
has been occupied.
The occupation of Urumi-
ah, northwestern Persia, by
Russian forces, is announced
by the Caucasian army staff.
The capture of the city was
effected after battles near
Dilman and Bachkala.
In their northern cam
paign, the Russians are still
closely pushed by German
and Austrian armies.
Official reports from Wen
ma state that successes have
been won in the district of
Przemysl, the capture of
which would be a serious
blow to the Russians. The
Petrograd war office, how
ever, views the situation in
Galicia optimistically, saying
the Teutonic allies have been
checked. and that their at
tacks all along the front from
upper Vistula to the San
have been repulsed with
heavy losses to the attackers.
The German submarine
campaign, which has been
active during the last week.
has resulted in the sinking 81
another British vessel. The
steamer Cadoby was sunk
Yesterday off Scilly Isles by
shell fire of a submarine. The
crew of eighteen men and
tour passengers were saved.

ardly attempt to stop our supplies
from going to the allies, the Captain
Boy-Eds and Captain Won Papens
undoubtedly are not directly guilty.
Because of the nature of their posts,
with their privileges and immunities,
they could not be made so. But they
and pretty much the whole diplo-
matte and consular representation in
this country of Germany and Austria
have been the inspiration, if not the
agency, of the Teutonic plots and
conspiracies which have worked out
all manner of outrage and crime.
They ought to have been driven
out of the country long ago. The
whole tribe of consular instigators
of crime and paymasters of the
criminals should be swept out at the

HARD TO SILENCE BIG Gun.
French Can Confne Noise 10 Hundred
Yards or so.

Several things give away the position
of "A bis gun when it IS 'ired, the two
chief being the noise and the smoke.
Thanks to smokeless powder. however,
the latter has practically been doEe
awaN with. says the Yorkshire Weekly
Post
The silencing of big gun is more
difficult problem, and though in the
case of rifles and small guns the report
can be made almost negligible, the
gigantic rush of gases when a big
shell is fired prevents a complete silenc-
ing.
y silenCer which the French are US
ing is so effective that no sound Of
firing can be heard over a greater dis
tanCe than hundred yards or so.
The siloncer is attached to the muZ-
Zle of the gun. AS the shell leaves the
gun a small shutter springs UP and
prevents the explosive gases escapins
in the usual way. 1t Is the sudden
fierce rush of gas which causes the
bang" when a gun is fired.
The gas passes out through the two
channels with nothing Ike the rush
that is caused in the ordinary way. 1t
Is impossible to stop the gases escap-
ing altogether. for the pressure is 80
terrific that the sun would be blown
TO pieces.

EXTRAvA0ANcES OF BRITAIN

American Legislators are the best
salaried in the world, while Ameri-
can> administrative officers are, all
things considered. the poorest paid.
British legislators, on the other
hand, have until very recently been
paid no salaries at all from the pub
lie treasury, while the public officials
have been very highly paid. Not
only have large salaries been al
lowed, but it has been the custom to
grant big pensions to retiring pub
lie servants; pensions that corre-
spond somewhat to the retired pay
of justices of our Supreme Court
but that are several times larger.
The British civil list is an affair to
stagger the maker Of an American
budget. Certain hereditary peer
ages carry, generation after genera
ton, huge gratuities from the public
treasury, as if the fourth or fifth
generation after Lord Nelson of Ira.
falgar were really entitled to a great
draft on the national purse. The
system of pensions for the favored
few, contrasts curiously with the
immense annual charge that the
American people meet in order to
distribute pensions to about a mil.
hon survivors of the civil war or
their widows and dependents. 1t is
the contrast between the aristocratic
and the democratic conceptions of a
proper recognition of public service.
In need of every possible economy
and demanding that expenses be re.
duced in all directions, the proposal
has now been made that the salaries
of cabinet ministers be reduced
about one-third, and that the pen.
sion list be given attention. 1t is
high time, if the British government
proposes ever tc get close to its
masses of people. After this war
when q great pension charge must
be met, the people will view with in.
creasing disaffection the distribution
OF great largesses to the fortunate
ones who commonly have least need
for them, and inevitably will more
and more compare the excesses or
one side with what in such a con,
tract will look like niggardlness or
the other,

RUSS TAKE CHOPIN'S
HEART TO MOSCOW
Most Precious Relic. Which Had
Been kept in Casket, Re-
NOV ed From Warsaw.

Before the Russians left Warsaw they
sent away from that city its most pre-
cious relic. the heart of Chopin. which
had been kept in a casket in the church
of the Holy Cross there since lS49. says
the London Chronicle. 1t is now in a
place of safety at Moscow. Shelleys
heart was also preserved in a casket.
When the poet was drowned off Leg
horn in 1872. his body was cremated by
Byron. Leigh Hunt and. Trelawney, and
his heart was rescued from the flames
bv the last named.
When King Robert Bruce of Scotland
died in 1879. his heart. too. was pre-
served in a casket. II was given to his
friend. Sir James Douglas, to be buried
in Jerusalem. On his way out of Pales-
tine. Sir James Douglas fell. fighting
against the Moors in Spain, and as he
fell he threw the precious relic before
him in the battlefield, crying out, Now
pass onward as thou vert wont. and
DOUGLAS will follow thee or die"
The heart was found next day by Sir
Simon Leigh. who brought it back to
Scotland. where it was buried in the
monas stery o: Melrose.
