DEADLY COMBAT FOR
MOUNTAIN PASS.

London, Feb. For the fourth
time since the beginning of the war
the Carpathian mountains between
Dukla and wyszkow passes is the
scene Of pitched battle. Previous
battles were between Russians and
Austro -Hungarians, but in that which
is developing the Austrians and Hun
garians have the assistance OF the
German armies and are assuming q
vigorous offensive.
Despite this the Russian reports as
sert that the preliminary fighting has
turned to the advantage of Russia
and that prisoners and guns have
been captured.
simultaneously the Austro- Germans
are concentrating armies in the
mountains between Bukowina and
pennsylvania to prevent an attempt
by the Russians to outflanls an at
tempt on Roumania and Servian
frontiers to check any effort Of the
armies Of those countries to take a
hand in the fighting, upon the result
OF which is staked much.

The Russians are also pushing their
offensive in east Prussia, while the
Germans continue their attack on the
Russian positions in central Poland.
These operations, however. are sec
ondary to the battle in the Carpa-
thians, the outcome of which is like
ly to have marked effect on the
future operations of the war.

other defeat on the Turks in the
ISarikamysh region, where during a
snowstorm they crossed mountain
and after heavy fighting captured the

When travellers came from New York

FLOATING HOMES
Barge Dwellers of New York One of

The lot of the harbor bargeman is
not one for commiseration. He is far

neighbors in the fetid hives of the

his barge as he floats past the river

At evening his floating home is
moored in a quiet dock. He may sit
on his bit of deck and enjoy his after

the darkling ripples of the water and
listens to the dying roar of the city s
busy day. His wife sits beside him.

The so-called wisdom teeth are the

of wisdom. They take their name from

is supposed to have reached years of
discretion. Cutting ones wisdom
