received through the carelessness and
neglect of the railroad company he

When the negotiations with China
suddenly assumed critical phase,
however, it is said, the Japanese gov
eminent regarded it as prudent to re-
tain these military supplies as pre-
stationary measure, and the effect
was almost instantly manifest on the
far distant Russian front. The Rus

In that emergency pressure was

sia's Temporary Repulse Explained
ONDON.-Although, the British
iJress has warned the public, it is too
early to assert positively that the
lAnstro-German forces in Galicia have
been definitely checked it is neverthe-
hess believed by many military COM
mentators here that there has been a
sharp turn in the situation which
will prevent Germany transferring
any considerable force of troops eth
jer to the west or to the Italian from
tier
J Some German forces are said to
have been detached from the Galician
armies and hurried to the Isonzo
front, but it is felt that they are
needed there to stop the Italian ad-
vance on Triest.
The latest official announcements
from Petrograd say the Russians
have assumed the offensive along the
Dubysa river and in the Baltic prov
inces, and they concede the loss of
ground nowhere except along the
river Pruth in BukoWina.
Three Great Battles.
Viewing the recent fighting in Ga
licia in perspective it may be divided
roughly into three great battles. The
chief of these was fought 40 miles
southeast of Lemburg, where the
forces under General Linsengen had
not only crossed the Dneister, but had
progressed IA miles beyond, getting
astride of Lemberg river. These
are the forces which the Russians APP
parently have forced back with heavy
loss, thus placing the river in Russian
hands throughout
The second great battle, or series
of battles, took place in the territory
, between Agurtsberg and ZydachOw,
and along this line the Russians claim
, to have repulsed the Germans with
severe punishment.
Serbs Pressed On.
North of both of these areas and
east OI IIZeu1ySl was IAe SCeH0 VI Iu0
! third battle. Here General Macken
zen, at the head of the main AustrO-
German forces, was trying to pene-
trate due east to Lemberg through
MOsciska.
BY Wednesday, according to the
Russian contention, the German
check in that locality was complete.
Serbia, it appears, is continuing her
systematic occupation of northern
and central Albania, and she may
even now be in possession of Scutari.

The Baby Show For the

Kansas provides a department OF

of "The Mothers Be Educated"
Here are some of her sayings:
"The child is the asset of the state,
ii owes the state nothing"
"a child is the greatest Of all human
responsibilities"
"Only a mother knows the worth of
a man. She alone knows what 1t costs
to produce a man"
"There is only one solution for the
problem Of the defective baby: Stop
breeding that kind
DR.. De vilbiss says if baby could
talk he would say:
Don't kiss me on the mouth.
'"Do not let the sun shine in my eyes
nor the wind fill them with dust.
do not pick me up by the arms.
"Do not rock me to sleep or teach
me other bad habits.
DO not dose me with patent medi-
cines or nasty mixtures.
do not give me wine, beer or
whisky, coffee or tea. want to keep
