TRIPLE ENTENTE ADMIT LOSS
Still Fighting at Hill No. so and ST.
Julien Advance Made in
the Dardanelles

London, England-Ihe report
ed Russian reverse in western Ga
licia Overshadows all other devel
opments in the war situation
Striking an average between thu
various official accounts, Londor
newspapers agree that the Rus
slams must have been pushed bacE
a considerable distance.
Petrograd expresses little con
Germ but admits that the Austro
German forces have made strong
attacks along the front on which
they claim a great victory.
German official advices concern
ing operations in the west confirm
French and British reports of Ger
man attacks on st. Julien but no
thing is said about the assertion
of the allies that hill sixty again
is the object of the German often
Sive. 4
No further official news has
been received concerning the Oar
danelles operations but publication
of a long list of casualties gives
ample evidence of the stubborn
opposition with which the Turks
met the landing of troops.
Russia again is cooperating IL
the attack on Constantinople by
renewing bombardment of the
Bosphorous forts.
Italy still occupies the center
of the diplomatic stage but there
is little in the way of authentic
news from Rome. Latest informa-
ton is that negotiations between
Italy and Austria after being
broken off, have once more been
resumed.
The crises in the Chino-Japan.
ese negotiations is attracting much
attention here. The press dis
cusses the controversy with re-
serve but does not conceal the fact
that there is considerable uneasi-
ness over the situation.
This victory for the Teutons
banners gives the Germans and
Austrians possession. of the west
ern strip of Galicia from near the
border of Hungary to point ap-
proximating where the river Dun
ajee joins the Vistula. The vic
tory is an important one, but is re-
garded here as only temporarily
setting back the Russian advance
1t is presumed this was accompli-
shed by one of those sudden and
surprising shifts of forces which
has made the German assaults
famous.
In the western war zone there
is practically no change. The
British continue to hold Hill No
60, a strategic point near Ypres
taken only after bitter fighting
some time since and which has
been an objective for the German
assault many times since. The
Germans are striving to retake st.
julien, another strategic point in
that neighborhood.
The statement from Berlin that
the allied troops attacking the
Dardanelles forts from the land
side have been virtually all
driven into the sea lacks confrma-
tion and is disputed here. The
British war office claims substan-
tial gains of ground have been
made on the Gallipoli peninsula
and that the allied warships are
making further advance into the
Dardanelles.
A dispatch to the Daily Tele-
graph from Petrograd says that
council of ministers has decided
that Finland, which up to the pres
ent has contributed neither men
nor money, must pay its proper

Kipling has given us picture
of mother love that touches the
sublime:
If | were hanged on the highest hill.
know whose love would follow me still
Mother o. mine, o mother o mine!
If | were drowned in the deepest sea,
know whose tears would come down
to me,
Mother O. mine, o mother o mine!
If l were damned of body and soul,
| know whose tears would make me
| whole
Mother 10 mine, o mother o mine!
There we have it man 3 be-
lief that his mother viii never fail
him. Should we then fail to hon.
or our mothers?
Mothers day is observed on
the second Sunday of May. Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia in
augurated the movement in 1907.
II occurred to her while conlmem-
Grating the death of her mother
on the second Sunday of May that
the day, falling in season of blue
sky and blossoms, might be set "a
side as an annual festival upon
which due tribute of affection and
remembrance should be rendered
to all mothers.
Started Campaign
Miss Jarvis then began a cam
paign of personal appeal to men
prominent in public life, clergy
men, philanthropists, business
and professional men, asking them
and professional men, asking them
TO further the movement. She
pleaded her case so eloquently
that in 1910 the day was celebrat-
ed not only in Philadelphia but in
MANY other cities. On May 10,
1913, a resolution passed the Unit
ed States house of representatives

In Other States

In the same year the legislature
of Nebraska made Mothers day a
state flag day in honor of the pat
riotism of Nebraska s true homes
and mothers. In May 1913, the
Legislature of Pennsylvania made
Mothers day the state holiday.
The day is planned to be observed
by some distinct mark of kindness,
visit, letter, gift or tribute show
ing the remembrance of the
mother and father to whom af-
fection is rue. Mothers day is
equally fathers day and is de-
signed to deepen and perpetuate
family ties.
