CITY CLAIMS VICTORY
. IN COL. AVE. VERDICT

Declaring the main point at issue has
been settled in favor of the District,
officials of the office of the CORPORA
ton Counsel say they rega!d as a vic
tory the decision of the United States
Supreme Court reversing the decision
OF the District Supreme Court assess
ing damages for the widening of Colo
RADIO avenue and Kennedy street.
The case was that of a District Com
missioner against the Lynchburg Con-
struction Company and the Holmes
Central Realty Company. The question
in which the District was most con-
cerned was the time required for the
publication OF notices of condemnation
proceedings.
On this point the United States SUI
premc Court disagreed with the decision
of the Court of Appealss which held
that such notices should be published
in three daily papers for at least twenty
days. The order in the case directed
publication once in the Law Reporter
and on six days in three daily news
papers beginning at least twenty days
before March Q, 1912. the date fixed for
the condemnation hearing. The other
questions at issue it was said were OF
minor Importance.
Had the decision of the Court of APP
pcals been upheld 1t would have cast u

NEW YORK, March 23.-The fall
of Przemysl may have an important
effect on an early ending of the war,
or the gain for the allied cause may
equally be frittered away by incom-
petent Slav leadership.
The situation now confronting the
allies is admirable for the delivery
of powerful offensive in the direc-
ton of Budapest but it will be in
accord with previous Russian STRAIT
egy If the desire to accomplish too
many things at once wastes the sud-
den advantage now resting in Grand
Duke Nicholas hands.
Either three or four Russian army
corps must have comprised the in
vesting force about Przemysl The
fact that the Austrian garrison OF
$4,000 made no effort to cut its way
to freedom, as did the Belgians at
Antwerp. demonstrates the large
superiority of the Slavs. An army
between 10000 and 10000 strong,
full OF confidence after winning one
of the most spectacular victories OF
the war. is now released for any use
which the Russian general staff de-
sires.
This splendid reinforcement be-
comes dNdllaple AT a moment Wnen
Austro- Hungary Is being harried by
threats of Italian belligerency. and
when the campaign in the Carpath-
ians Is dead-locked because of an
equality of resisting power. Spring,
too, has now come, when the snow
blockade of the Carpathian passes
begins to disappear.
A rapid conveyance of the
PrZemysl investing army would prob
ably succeed, IL properly led. in over
coming the Austro-German Carpath-
ian resistance. The Russians have
retained possession during the win
ter of Dukla Pass, which is about
scventy-tive miles from PrzemysI,
and is the most important gateway
through the CaTpathians into Hun
gary. An army OF more than 100, 900
men moving rapidly into Hungary
and threatening Budapest, might we'll

Washing Won't Rid

The only sure way to get rid Of dand-
ruff is to dissolve 1t. then you destroy it
entirely. To do this. get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morning most
IL not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy.
every single sign and trace of 1t. no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find. too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.-Advt.

After this war, what?
Is this but the prelude to new wars?
Shall the world again see so horrible a
conflict that destroys. in an hour. the
social structure that II has taken CEN
turies of toll to erect? Shall there again
bo a wholesale slaughtering of human
life to satisfy the commercial greed Of
nations?
No. cry the women Of the world.
LAS women, we are the custodians of
the life of the ages. AS women, we are
charged with the future of childhood
and with the care OF tie helpless and
the unfortunate. We will no longer en-
dure without protest that added burden
of manned and invalid men and poverty
stricken widows and orphans which war
places upon US"
So, protesting. the women of America
! have banded together and formed the
Woman's Peace Party, resolved that
now, in this time Of strife, they should
set about to work for the ultimate abo-
lition Of war and the setting up of uni
versal peace.
Not against this war alone do they
protest for they realize. only too sadly.
the futility of urging peace at time
when all Europe Is ablaze with the fire
Of battle. 1t has gone too FAR to heeo
such protests from America as the
silent parade OF plack-saTpeu "ohSN
that took place on Fifth avenue. In
New York. when the war broke out;
or the petitions sent by million school
children imploring the cessation OF nos
