Austrian Victory Like
Lookout Mountain

Berlin, April 26.-The storming by
Austrian troops of Ostry Mountain, 10
The north Of Beskid Pass, which was
reported in the Austrian official bul!e-
fin issued yesterday, is described by
the "Tageblatt" correspondent In the
Carpathians as one of the most bril-
liant fcats Of mountain fighting during
the war
Ostry Mountain, with its sister
height, Swinnin Mountain, which was
stormed on April 8, dominates the road
and the railroad from Munkacs to Lem
berg. 1t is approximately $500 feet
high and has precipitous sides. The
Russians, working necessarily for
months, had converted the mountain
into a natural fortress with rows of
trenches ana machine gun positions
one above the other until apparently
1t was imprognable.
Its possession, however, the cor
respondent says, was deemed indls-
pensablo in order to open the way for
an invasion Of Galicia and to relieve
pressure on Uzsok Pass and on the
positions further 20 the west. Orders
were given TO take it at any cost.
Sap after sap was driven against the
Russian positions at the base Of the
mountain, mine fields exploded and all
the resources of modern mine warfare
were employed TO prepare a way for O
storm against the summit, which was
ordered for April "a.
The Austrians, commanded by Gen
eral Hoffman, the correspondent says
charged up the precipitous height
Positions were taken by storm, and the
gaps in the Austrian lines, torn by ma
chine gun fire, closed automatically as
successive waves of troops swept up
ward 10 success which, the writer says
like the Federal charge at Lookout
Mountain, was probably beyond the ex-
pectations Of the commanders" ant
the summit was occupied.
This success, the "Tageblatt" cor
respondent telegraphs, gives the Aus
TRANS and Germans complete control
of the Oraya Valley and advances the
Austro-Hungarian lines east of UzsOk
Pass twenty kilometres (about eleven
miles, into Galician territory.

Caring for the Children.

To lift the load further from the
families, the arrangements for the
care Of the children were inc eased.
The Children's Aid Society, under the
efficient direction of Pastor Siegmund-
Schulze, took charge of the children
not old enough TO so to school. The
school children were sent 10 dining
halls or placed in day nurseries for the
entire afternoon. Everywhere it was
necessary TO make q careful selection,
for the means at hand were often
scarcely enough for the most pressing
demands.
But with all these relief measures
il was not possible to get at the root
of the evil-the lack Of employment.
These measures were dangerous to a
certain extent, for they resulted in an
attempt TO feed large masses of our
people during the war, a principle
equally contestable from an ethical
and from an economic point of view.
Our principal aim was, therefore, TO
