LONDON BELIEVES SlAVS
MAY TURN GERMAN FLANK

London. May 22.-The fighting south
of Przemysl is so intense hat in some
quarters in London it is considered
possible that STRATEGY may dictate the
abandonment" of that fortress.
Przemysl appears to be a dangerous
salient of the new Russian line.
The most interesting feature of the
last Russian officia communication to
British readers is the reported check
given to the left wing of the German
army which. it is claimed. has been
driven back beyond the river Iwaniska.
1t is pointed out here that this would
seem to uncov the German flank. and
If the movement can be pushed home
English observers are arguing hat 1t
might have some effect on bringing the
TeutOnic advance to n ~standStill.

ARE AFTER FOREIGN HORSES
American Turfmen to Attend Fall
Sales in England and France to
Secure Thorouqhbreds.

That the American turf is to have
more imported racing material next
year than at any previous time ap-
pears to be foregone conclusion.
The fact that Phil Chinn, widely
known turfman, and several other
prominent turemen, have arranged for
trip to England for the purpose of at
tending the fall sales indicates the
American turf will have number of
imported thoroughbreds competing
next year for its rich prizes.
Chinn last year visited England and
France, and while away purchased IL
thoroughbreds for Jefferson Living
stone, among them several winners
this year.
Chinn will, it is understood, have
authority when he goes over this year
to buy whatever he likes and use his
best judgment in price to be paid for
yearlings and two-year-olds.
It is also said that Chinn has been
commissioned to purchase number
of steeplechasers for members of the
hunt clubs throughout the country.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Happiness.

Happiness.
LIE Comte de Sabron finished his
dressing.
Brunei surveyed his master from
the tip of his shining boots to his
sleek, fair head. His expressive eyes
said: Monsieur lie Capitaine is looking
well tonight"
Brunei had never before given his
master direct compliment. His eyes
only had the habit of expressing ad-
miration, and the manner in which
he performed his duties, his devotion,
were his forms of compliment. But
Sabron's long illness and absence, the
fact that he had been snatched from
death and given back to tie army
again, leveled between servant and
master the impossible wall of eti-
quette.
There will be a grand dinner to-
night, will there not, Monsieur lie
Capitaine? Doubtless Monsieur le
Colonel and all the gentlemen will be
there" Brunei made comprehen-
sive gesture as though he comprised
the entire etat major.
Sabron, indeed, looked well. He
was thin, deeply bronzed by the ex-
posure on the yacht, for he and Ire
mont before returning to France had
made a long cruise. Sabron wore the
look of a man who has come back
from far country and is content.
"And never shall forget to the end
of nv DAYS how Monsieur lie Capitaine
looked when / met the yacht at Mar
seilles!"
Brunei spoke reverently, as though
he were chronicling sacred souvenirs.

walked up to the ladies, and began
TO snuff about their feet. The younger
lady exclaimed, and then Sabron. lift

color beating in his dark tanned
cheeks.
The Marquise dEsclignac held out
Doth hands to the officer:
Its nearly noon," she said. "and
you don't forget that you have prom
lsed to lunch with us, do you. Mon
sieur le Capitaine?"
Sabron, bending over her hand. as
sured her that he had not forgotten.
Then his eyes travelled to her com.
pan1on. Miss Redmond wore a very
simple dress, as was her fashion, but
the young officer from Africa, who had
not seen her near by until now and
VINO had only caught a glimpse of her
across the opera house, thought that
ne had never seen such a beautiful
dress in all his life. 1t was made of
soft gray cloth and fitted her closely,
and in the lapel of her mannish little
buttonhole she wore few Parma vio-
let's. He recognized them. They had
come from bunch that he had sent
her the night before. He kissed her
hand, and they stood talking together,
the three of them, for a few moments,
Pitchoune stationing himself as a SEN
tinel by Miss Redmond's side.
The Marquise d'Esclignac rose. The
young girl rose as well, and they
walked on together.
Mes enfants," said the Marquise
d'Esclignac, don't go with your usual
rush, Julia. Remember that Monsieur
de Sabron is not as strong as Her
cules yet. 1 will follow you with
Pitchoune."
But she spoke without knowledge of
the dog. Now feeling that some I'M
wonted happiness had suddenly burst
upon the horizon that he knew, Pit
choune seemed suddenly seized with
rollicking spirit such as had been his
characteristic some years ago. He

of Sabron and Miss Redmond. He
whirled around like a dervish, he
dashed across the road in front of
automobiles, dashed back again,
springing upon his master and whin-
ing at the girls feet.
"See," said Sabron, "how happy ne
is
81 should think he would be happy.
He must have a knowledge of what
an important animal he is. Just
think! If he were a man they would
give him decoration"
And the two walked TRANQUILITY side
by side.
Pitchoune ran to the side of the
road, disappeared into a little forest
all shot through with light. He came
back, bringing the remains of an old
rubber ball lost there by some other
dog, and laid it triumphantly in front
of Miss Redmond.
"See," said Sabron, che brings you
his trophies"

(By FRANK G.. MENKE.)
Pete Russell is back in the Univer-
sity of Chicago-and, therefore, the
Chicagoans are very optimistic as to
Chicagos chances of grabbing the
1915 football honors in the West.
Oh, yes, graduation, the bane of all
college coaches, kicked the bulk of
the cogs out of the powerful machine
that Alonzo A. Stage assembled in
1914, but Peter Russell is part of the
machinery that was unlocked, and
with Pete back in his quarterbacking
job this year, the Maroon chances are
very rosy indeed.
Russell is one of those quarterbacks
that one reads about mostly in fiction.
A brainy, inspiriting leader, wonder
full booter, sure, daring tackler, a
marvel at running through broken
fields, a great line smasher, a tricky,
dashing, fearless player-that is Pete
Russell. Is it any wonder why Chi
cago, still possessed of this football
wonder, isn't in glooms, despite the
fact that some of its greatest stars of
AOAf al 6OAO.
Chicago lost Des Jardien through
graduation. He ranked as the great
est center ever turned out in the
West, and it lost Gray, the great half
back; Acker, Huntington, a wonderful
end; Stegman, Coutchie and Kixmiller
all regulars in 1914. But there are
enough regulars and frst-string sub
stitutes on hand this year to form the
foundation for a great team.
Coach Stage Is Unworried.
There is really nothing about the
Chicago outlook to cause discourage
ment," said Coach Stagg. Some of
the vacant places will be hard to fill,
but the candidates this year look very
promising
Flood, wonderful line smasher and
veteran of the 1914 campaign, will be
the regular Maroon fullback. The Sc
lection of two regular halfbacks must
be made from among Schafer and Cor
don, the only two men who got ex-
perience last year, and squad of
youngsters. Gordon performed mostly
at quarterback in 1914, relieving Rus
sell, but can play great game at
halfback.
Schafer is fairly sure of job on
the varsity this year, but some of the

a year or so ago, is showing up won

Tackles Will Be Veterans.
Shutl and Jackson, veterans OF the

tackles-and a wonderful pair 1t Is.

FAMOUS RACE TRACK DOOMED
EmeryviIIe Course to Be Subdivided
