ring record OF Jack.
Then. as the rounds wore on, every
trick in the amazing category of the
worlds champion were tried, but in
vain. From the smile of confidence
to the strained look of worry was the
transition of only a moment. At last
the ebony face of Johnson began to
show that he realized the battle liz
front of him was the acme of his ca
reer.
The face Of his white wife reflected
the feelings of the black fighter. In
the early stages, when Johnson's con-

she. too. smiled with him. Then,
when the battle went mast the fifteenth

ern ridge and slopes Of the CarPatt.-
ians at the Lupkow pass, according to
dispatches reaching here today.
In snow-filIed gulIeys and up and
down the slippery mountain sides, the
struggle is going on. The Austrians,
in their retreat southwark from the
railway, abandoned much Of their
artillery. The Russians moved up the
heights, supported only by small
mountain guns.
Neither side has been able to put
it's artillery to effective use in the
broken ranges. Guerrilla warfare,
fierce struggles between small groups
in narrow defiles with Austrian and
slav ciashing with cold steel is strcw-
ino the Lupkow region with thousands
Of dead. The cars troops have not
vet passed the Lupkow according to
the best information available at the
war office today. They have driven
the enemy from each successive height
dominating the railway, the Austrians
making their stand on the last ridge.
Because Of the nature Of the fighting
at this point, dispatches are conflict
ina and II Is possible that with both
lines broken by intervening mountain
peaks, a few small bodies Of Russians
have made their way down the south
ern slopes through the Austrian lines.
,.eavy reinforcements have been
thrown into the attack on the Lupkow.
The war office believes that once the
way 10 cleared through this pass, the
right wing Of the enemy north OF

but five minutes to get their boats

[Ry Ed L. Keen, United Press Staff

LONDON, April Ga biq submarine
that dashed through heavy sea at in
credible speed, tcrpedoed and sank
the steamer Northlands off Beachy
Head, In the English channel. While
some Of the crew, landed at Deal to-
day, believed the attacking "undersee
boote" was the famous UP, others
believed It was Of newer and far
more powerful type.
Word Of the sinking Of the North
lands was received here only short
time before the crew Of the Grimsby
trawier Aiantha was landed at 6lyth,
near New Castle. The Alantha was
overhauled and sunk by submarine
in the North sea after short chase.
The NorthIands ignored the first
signal from the submarine, command
inc her to halt. Her stokers set at
work furlousiy and swinging in zig-zag
fashion she dashed In towards shore.
A gale was rolling up high waves in
the channel, but in few minutes the
submarine was alongside the North
lands and si0naIed:
The boats were lowered and the
crew was pulling away when a ter
rifle explosion nearly broke the steam
er in two.
Z "At the same instant" said one Of
the NorthIands' sailors, cher whistle
mysteriously broke out in wailing
death shrek that lasted until the
waves enguIfed her. It was deviiist,
uncanny."
The steamer carried cargo Of iron
ore and settled quickly. The suS-
marine hurried off without offering any
assistance to the crew who drift.d
about in two small boats for nearly
seven hours.
