London, March 2s.--Ihe tide
of the battle which l. To decide
whether Russia f. to descend upon
the plains of Hungary has turned
I'm favor of the Gar. according
tn dispatches received in London
today.
il Is stated officially at Pctro-
grad that the Russians In the
Carpathians have driven the AUS
trians back Of the Lupkow Pas.
white from Bucharest comes I'M
portant news that farther south
the Russians after three days of
the heaviest fighting around
Starosl have jammed the Austrian
right back OF Iz~ok Pass with
enormous losses and are now over
the GaIician line into Hungary
itself RI
Most important Of this news is the
assertion that the Russians were sec
reilly reinforced The Bucharest dis
patch says the Austrian resistance Is
decisively weakened.
While this liz occurring the Russian
right. which Is at Jasiiska. Dakia Pass
and northward. Is swinging around the
Austrians left towards Bartfeld, also
In Hungary. Svidnik lies just beyond
and then 10 the west 81 that begin
the foothills which run down into the
plains.
So far as can be asrertained the
Austrians have been left to themselves
10 defend their country from invasion.
The Germans have some plan In mind
in North Poland. the purpose where
of no one vet knows They are MAX
ing demonstrations over a line 900
miles long and the concentrating at no
particular place. although ii il said
they have ten army corps available.
North of the Siemen demonstrations
and small engagements are taking
place daily on the East prussian lins
west of Tauroggen. This Russian
force which raided Memel with other
isolated commands are marrying the
enemy back an dforth an the border
with no other object than to worry
them.
The Germans hold Suwalki So far
without opposition, and there they
are inilieting full penalties for all
Russian successes elsewhere. They
have been driven out Of the forest ~
Augustowo and they are fighting
around Grodno.
The bombardment of ossowiece is
the mystery If the present campaign.
The Russian fortress Is simply con-
tent TO act on the defensive now and
has not been injured by the few
Siege guns that are pounding away
with little spirit.
The fight further along this eres-
cent lire is thereafter practically on
the East Irussian boundary The
Russian force having showed them
back 10 that point is simply holding
that from Afyszyuiec to Prasnysz.

Company, who have used all pos
sible means and measures to con-
struct, perhaps not the largest,
but the best possible plant of itS
kind in the country. The build
ing of sheeted construction is
placed on concrete foundations,

horse Witte gas engine, which
will be used to run a large COM

raw water system has been Sc
lected. Water drawn from a
deep we'll containing the purest

containers. This water in order
to provide for any possible con-

and kept free from contamina-

from outside temperature by
heavy walls packed with cork, is
filled with a water heavily salted.
In this water is placed the freez-

surrounding the ice tank are

forced ammonia. The plant can
easily produce seven tons of ice

neighborhood need have no fear
of any ice famine during the

storage facilities have also been
provided. Home made ice will
be a novelty to our people, as
