NEUTRALs MUST ACT NOW
OR NEVER. SAYS PETROGRAD

Rome, March 81. (via Paris).-Cer-
tain warnings appearing in Russian
newspapers, after an announcement of
the fall of the Austrian position at
tentlon OF Italian readers. They re-
fer mostly to the "dwindling chances of
Austria" n say that neutral coun-
tries should seize the opportunity now
presented to them.
The Birgewja Viendosmosti. of Pc
trograd says the capture of Przemysl
IS as important as would be the fall Of
COnStantinople. Austria is doomed. his
newspaper declares. and she will be
opllged to sue for peace. When this

sires by any adherence to neutrality.
"Ihe feeling in Austrian circles,'' this
paper says. "is that the country would

The dissolution of Turkey would

Furthermore, the defeat of Austria
would make it necessary for italy to
act in accord with Russia and Serbia
to defend her interests on the Adriatic

ANONYMOUS THREATS
ASSIGNED AS REASON
FOR LEAVING ARMOUR
Former Wealthy Merchant Gave
Out Letters Threatening
Violence to Him.

Armour. S. d.. March ~27.-Threats OF
personal violence against ]. c.
C~antonwine. for many years one of the
pest known residents of Armour and
Douslas county. are claimed by him
70 nave been responsible for his having
disposed Of all his Armour property
and acquired a section OF land three
miles from Clark. Clark county, to
which the family will move at once.
Cantonwi has had a spectacular
career. Last year ne completed a term
IN the federal pe%nitentiary at Leaven-
worth. Kan: for alleged perjury and
attempted to conceal assets in a bank
ruptcy case instituted against him by
a number of his creditors. The case
was one of the most notable in the his
tory OF South Dakota.
UP to the fall of 1906 Cantonwine
was regarded as one of the substantial
merchants of the state. His implement
and vehicle establishment in Armour
was one of the most extensive of its
Kind in South Dakota. He accumulated
large areas of farm land and other
property.
He became involved in financial diff
ficulties. claiming that on the night of
September is, 1908. he had been robbed
or S3a,3OO in cash. He alleged that at
n time of the robbery he had in the
little safe in his store $33, 900 in bills.
$4,000 in gold n $500 in silver. and
That the safe was burglarized and the
money carried away.
AS the result of a hearing before the
referee in bankruptcy it was ruled that
the story of the burglary was untrue
and that the claim of robbery was part
OF a conspiracy on the part of Canton
wine and his wife to conceal the money
Tor the purpose of defrauding creditors.
Cantonwine afterward was tried and
convicted on the charge of perjury.
Recently C%antonwine gave out
threatening letters sent to him in
Armour. these being signed: "a lot Of
Citizens in Armur," and warning him
to keep still and not say anything. if
he wished to live in Armour. Following
the making public of these letters came
the announcement that Cantonwine had
acquired the land in Clark county and
would move there.

London March 27.-As has been pre-
dicted by military observers since the
fall of Przemysl, Russia is now direct
ing her chief offensive against the
Austrian front on the Carpathians. In
the north between Niemen and the Wis
tula rivers the Russian forces are MAX
ing little effort to advance evidently
being content to hold Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg in check, but desper-
ate fighting is taking place in the
Carpathians. where the Russians are
thrusting back the Austrians along the
Dukla and Uzsok passes.
Unofficial reports via Bucharest
credit Russia with a victory at Uzok.
while Petrograd officially claims an
important success in the capture of
fortified positions near the Lupkow
pass. These formidable positions were
taken by storm with the Austrians los
ing machine guns and over 5000 pris-
oners. Unofficial reports also credit
h Russian army with further sue
cesses in Bukowina. Vienna admits
h Importance of the Russian often
sive in the mountain passes. but at
the same time declares the fierce at
tacks on these positions have been
opposed.
Rumania, impressed by the fall of
Przemysl. is said to be contemplating
immediate action on the side of the
allies. A Bucharest dispatch say the
fall of Przemysl has increased the
popular emand in Rumania for inter-
VentiOn on the side of the allies.
