ALONG THE ENTIRE FRONT
Pstrosrsd Reports Severe Fighting in
Galicia.

Petrograd, March 23.-On the
whole Galician front, from Gorlitze al
most to the Roumanian front, there
has been for the past four days vir-
tually a continuance of fierce assaults
and counter assaults during which
trenches and small villages have
changed hands as many as four times.
The Austrian attacks continue with
violence and persistence and this in
spite of the fact that they apparently
have lost the security of their foot
hold at Stanislau and in the Stry re-
gion.
A study of the daily records of this
fighting, as received in Petrograd,
shows that despite their aggressive
activity the Austrians are being
forced to the south and closer to the
Carpathian mountains through the
passes Of which two months ago they
began an invasion, the purpose OF
which was to relieve the garrison at
Przemysl and to recapture the terri
tory lost at the outset of the war.
Repeated Austrian attacks on a
wide front near Gorlitze have been
stopped by the Russian fire. After
apparently abandoning hope of sue.
cess in this region the Austrians un-
expectedly brought up reinforcements
and delivered three fresh attacks i'm
quick succession. Each resulted in
failure

caIiCian Fortress in
Russian Hands.
HELD OUT FOR MONTHS
Stronghold GaIIantIy Defended
by Austrian Forces.

London, March 23-The great Cali
clan fortress of Przemysl. which the
Austrians had so stanchly defended
since the early days of the war, has
fallen into the hands of the Russian
besiegers. The last of the improyised
field Notifications were captured
some days ago and the final act of
the drama began toward the close OF
week when the commandant deliber.
ately expended his reserve ammuni-
tion and sent the bulk of the garrison
out on the forlorn hope of cutting its
way eastward through the besiegers.
With the strong Russian line tight
ly drawn around the fortress the ef-
fort apparently was hopeless from the
start and 5000 Austrian prisoners fell
into the hands of the Russians. while
as many more fell, dead or wounded.
The shattered remnants of the force
fed back 10 the fortress and they now
have fallen into the hands of the
Russians.
The garrison of PrZemysl originally
numbered $4,000 or 10000 men, but
sorties and shells must have cut q
considerable number of thousands
from that total.
The besieging army is understood
to number about 10000 officers and
men. This force will now march on
the strong Austrian fortress of Cra-
COW, 125 miles to the east of Prem
ysl, it being the announced determi-
nation OF the Russian commander-in-
chief to reduce the ancient Polish cap
itsl as speedily as possible.

zEPPEu|NS CAUSE
ONE DEATH IN PARIS

Paris. March 23.-While no one was
killed directly by the Zeppelin bombs
which were dropped In Paris and it's
environs they resulted In one death
that of Nine. Charles Pesson, who
lived in the Rue des DANES. The
aged woman was so frightened by the
explosion of a bomb in that street
that she died soon afterward.
A city analyst who spent the day
collecting bombs which did not ex-
plode and fragments of those which
did took them to his laboratory for a
chemical analysis. From a cursory
examination he found that most OF
the missiles dropped were incendiary,
containing a mixture of phosphorus,
tar and benzine. provided with a
lighting contrivance consisting OF a
wick soaked in petroleum.

Wheat Needed Here, Says
Government Report.
EXPORTS UNUSUALLY Big

During December, January and Feb
ruary, Sales OF Grain Abroad Aver
aged Thirty-five Million BuaheIs
Per Month-supply VIII Be De-
peted Shortly.
Washington, March Warning
that the present heavy exports to
European nations OF American wheat
and -four cannot be continued with
out endangering the wheat supplies
for food and seeding requirements at
home was contained in the depart
ment of agriculture's agricultural
outlook. In the opinion of depart
ment experts, expectation at the
same rate as during December, jan
uary and February until the coming
of the new wheat crop would en-
croach upon normal domestic needs.
Investigation has disclosed that
there was on March / an apparent
surplus of 91,000,0O0 bushels of wheat
over the domestic requirements for
food and seed that was available for
export in the four months from
March / to July /. While the exports
OF wheat, including -four, during
those four months last year were &c.
100000 bushels, 1t is pointed out that
those exports during December, Jan
uary and February last averaged al
most 35,O00,000 bushels per month. II
that rate OF export continues until the
new crop is available it will amount
to 140,O00,000 bushels.
The departments investigation did
not include inquiries into stocks OF
-four, but the opinion is expressed
that they do not show so much re-
duction as wheat stocks. A factor in
the situation, indicated by the depart
ment, is that the Southern states
have greatly increased their wheat
acreage, the crop of which will be
marketable before July 1, and will in
crease the available supplies between
now and that date.
