Russians Across Lukwa.

London.-The Russians, reinforced
at critical points, have assumed the
offensive practically along the whole
front-hundreds of miles from the
Baltic Sea to the Rumanian border.
In the central Beskid Pass of the
C~arpathians the Cars army is on
the offensive, but the fierce Austrian
attacks are reported to have moder-
ated.
Apparently the Russians have def
nitely disposed of the German and
Austrian attempts to outfank their
two extreme wings and, having turn
ed, are making slow but steady pro-
gress westward.
After retiring to the Dniester River,
the Russians again have crossed into
Bukowina and are unoficially report
ed to be back in Czernowitz.
In northern Poland the Russians are
advancing slowly westward from the
Niemen River and the Germans are
lighting a rearguard action.
In the Beskid, Tukholka and Uzsok
Passes the Austro-G Germans are in
possession of strong positions whence
they are continually attacking the
Russians, and in the western passes.
especially the Dukla, the Russians are
on the Hungarian slopes and are fight
ing a trench warfare.

FAMOUS OLD BLARNEY
Historic Spot, Long Famed in Song
and Story, Is One of the GIories
of ireland.

IN THE year 1446 an Irish bishop
\ his face SCARED with many wounds
climbed to the keep of his castle,
and, hanging over the side, kissed a
stone In the wall about five feet from
the top. This was Cormack MacCar-
thy, and the castle was Blarne- castle,
his military stronghold. For in those
days a bishop had to be a good fighter
besides being a good churchman. The
stone that MacCarthy kissed is now
called the "Blarney Stone"
Cormack MacCarthy built Castle
Barney in County Cork. One day, a
little while after he had finished it, he
was walking along when he happened
to see an old woman drowning in a
stream. Being both a courteous and
a brave man, he Immediately plunged
IN, and after many struggles rescued
her. The old woman blessed her res
e and promised that, for a reward,
she would bestow upon him a tongue
OF such eloquence that he could infiu-
ence friends and enemies.
But there was only n way to OBJ
tain this gift. He must climb to the
top of his castle and kiss a stone in
the wall there. MacCarthy followed

ton which has arisen there. Secre
tary Bryan announced that transpor

as many Is desired to leave.
The battleship Georgia and the ar
mored cruiser Washington were or
dered to proceed at once to Vera Cruz
by Secretary Daniels after conferen
ces with President Wilson.
Consular messages from Vera Cruz
said it was reported there that the
evacuation of Mexico City had Begin
Enrique G. Llorente, Washington
representative Of General Villa, re.
ceived a message saying the Zapatis-
ia forces occupied Mexico City imme.

Word came from American Consul
Silliman at Vera Cruz that at a per
sonal interview with General Carran
"a he had delivered to the latter the
formal note from the United States
Government demanding an improve
ment in conditions for foreigners in
the territory under his control.
Gen. Carranza delivered a note to
Consul Silli1nan, President Wilson's
confidential agent, and the belief is
expressed both in the encourage of
the Constitutionalist leader and
among Americans in Vera Cruz that
a satisfactory solution of the present
difficulty soon will be found.
Carranza said that General Obre-
gon had not prevented food supplies
from reaching the City of Mexico nor
had he sent the available supplies
from the capital.
These were the principal develop
ments in the Mexican situation, the
Importance of which overshadowed

directions and Immediately obtained
s oh eloquence that he delayed for a
long time by persuasion and promise
the surrender of the castle to the lord
president. 1t is said that even to this
day whoever climbs to the top of the
castle and Kisses the stone will re-
ceive the gift of golden speech.
Many people now go to kiss the
Barney stone. One time a young
American visited Castle Blarney, and
was very enthusiastic about kissing
the stone. He leaned over the square
opening; but just then he got a look
at the ground, 12O feet below. He
suddenly decided that this business of
kissing the Barney stone was only a
silly superstition, and was not worth
the trouble anyway.
One OF the legends that cling about
the ruins of Barney is that in the
pastures near the castle ghostly cattle
fight at night with the present possess
sors of the fields. 1t is also reported
that in the summer fairies dance on
the grass all night.
Castle B~larney's fame has been in
creased by Richard Mileikin's song,
"The Groves of Barney" written in
1898. Francis S. Mahoney, known as
Father Prout, added the following
lines, which have carried the legend
Of the Barney stone around the
world:
There is a stone there,
That whoever kisses,
Oh. he never misses
To grow eloquent.
'Tis he may Chamber
To a lady's chamber
Or become a member
OF sweet Parliament.
A clever spouter
He'll sure turn out, or
An out and outer.
To be let alone!
Don't hope to hinder him,
Or to bewilder him,
Sure he's a pilgrim.

WAR NEWS

Destruction of two forts, one on the
European side, together with the
%silencing of a number of batteries,
are the net results of the latest bonn
bardment of The D~ardanelIes by the
AngIo-French fleet.
The Turkish Naval Staff claims that
during the bombardment a French
cruiser was put out of action and
an English cruiser was badly dam
aged.
All cotton, according to the British
statement, contracted for sale to
neutrals prior to March 2, the day
following the Allies announcement
of the Blockade" may be shipped
without m~oIestation up to March
81.
The German Minister at Athens stated
that if Greece decided war on Tur-
key Germany would declare war.
In Greece Aiexandros Zaimis has been
asked to form a new Cabinet. The
German Minister at Athens stated
that If Greece decided war on Tur-
key Germany would declare wal on
Greece.
Things seemingly have changed but
little in the Carpathians, although
the Russians, according to their
report, apparently have improved
their position on the Hungarian
side Of the DukIa Pass.
In the eastern theatre the conflict
continued without appreciabIe adj
vance by either side. The French
War Office reported that the Ger
mans had redoubled their artillery
attack in Champagne.
Reports are current that all foreinn-

AMERICAS DEBT TO IRELAND
immigrants Have Wrought Well in the
Wonderful Development of Their
Adopted Land.

Out of Europe, for more than two
centuries there have been flowing
streams of humanity, always hasten
ing, like the afluents Of some mighty
river, toward the west. And for more
than n century at least those who
earliest found their place in this once
welcoming continent have been star
ing with open or covert contempt at
those who have followed them.
Until now, when our national intelli-
gence has b~roadened beyond the pur-
blind, narrow vision that could see in
an immigrant only his ignorance, his
poverty and the uncouthness which, in
the land he has deserted, may be the
best, approved mode of living for peo-
pie of his class.
We are looking at the essentials
al the brain and the Drawn, the
health and the courage; at the race.
the national history, the adaptiveness
of all this raw material for citizenry.
These latest corners are reaping the
fruits of the lessons we have learned
while seeing their forerunners emerge
from the poverty and want that made
them r%eproaches in our eyes and, by
theirsown inherent strength, rise to the
full level of American skill, energy and
what has always been their conspE
cuous trait-patriotism.
No single stream that trickled first
and then came in flood had to fight its
way more hardly here than the immi.
grants who hailed from Ireland; and
if one were to cast everywhere to
find immigrants and their descendants
who have most potently wrought for
the development Of the nation. he
would see none more numerous, more
strong and-1nal verdict of the land OF
their adoption-more respected than
those very Irish.
The United States, for them, owes
England a debt which neither nation
may ever acknowledge; but the time
is not far away when England seems
fated to realize the enormity of her
loss and the vastness of Americas
gain.

Truth About the shiIIeIaob,

The word s~hillelagh as applied to a
blackthorn is a misnomer. In his
stories. of the Irish peasantry Carleton
speaks Of a forest in the County Wick
low that in ancient times was called
~Shillelagh. Oak cudgels that came
from this forest were given the name
Of shillelaghs. but they were never
used in actual combat in Ireland. The
shillelagh is a murderous-looking blud-
geon which no self-respecting Irishman
would think Of welding in a scrim-
mage. 1t is doubtful even If a bri-
gand on the moor would be guilty Of
carrying such a weapon.

BLOW TO Two-cENr RATE.
State Laws Must Allow Fair Returns
on P-assenner Traffic.

State Laws Must Allow Fair Returns
on Passenger Traffic.
Washington.-The Supreme Court
delivered what is regarded here as a
death blow to the 2-cent passenger
rate imposed by many states upon the
railroads.
In two important decisions the SUI
preme Court laid down the rule that
a common carrier cannot be compelled
to transport passengers or freight of
a certain class at a rate that is not
compensatory simply because the
earnings of the carrier from all class
es of business happen to return a
profit.
For several years the railroads of the
country have been complaining bitter.
ly that State legislation was Compel
ing them to carry intrastate passep-
gers without any profit and often at a
loss.
The Supreme Court recently grant
ed the first relief through a decision
sustaining the power of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to override
a State rate when it conflicts with an
interstate rate that has been found
reasonable. These decisions, how
ever, go much further.
AS viewed in Washington the de-
c~isions, taken in connection with re
cent recommendations by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, will
have a strong tendency to bring about
a readjustment of passenger rates of
the country so as to make them bear
a just proportion of the operating ex-
penses. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has expressed the opinion
that freight has been obliged to carry
an undue share of the burden up to
this time.
The Penn's Grove record., 1915-03-12
Reverenced bv All.

Today in Ireland the blackthorn is
used for no other purpose than a walk
ing stick. 1t is the favorite cane OF

SHAMRocKS

You buy a pot O shamrocks-yo like them
for their green
An for their pleasant friendliness-but
know not what they meant
What can you know Of shamrocks, you
who feel not the thrill
They bring of Shannon's murmurs past
lowered field and hill2
You buy a pot Of shamrocks, and back at
them you smile
All, could you know and feel that they are
part of Erin's isle!
You have not eyes that see things. or you
would see the mist
That runs across Killarney when morn
ing's brow is kissed;
You have not ears that hear things, or you
would hear the song
Made of a thousand memories forever
sweet an strong
lis but a pot o shamrocks, a whimsy
thing you buy,
An not a bit Of Irish sod or breadth Of
Irish skyl
The CLINT Of Irish sunshine makes all that
Twin green,
An Irish rains kept off the stains an gave
that jewel-sheen;
Would that you understood It'll For could
you understand,
There'd be a bit of tremblin' each time
they touched your handl
Your fingers would be trenholm, your eyes
be dewy-wet
Your heart would beat a measure you
never could forget.
You buy a pot o shamrocks, an know not
what they meanl
You set them on the table to see their
cheerin' green
But should you trample on them they'd
rise in grace again,
Just as the hopes rise in the hearts Of
women and of men.
Smile friendly at your shamrocks. an
back at you they smile
All, could you know an feel that they are
part of Erin's islel
