CONVINCED OF A LONG WAR

London, June 2S.-The Russians
are again retreating in Galicia, bott
to the north and south of Lemberg
and in Poland the Germans have
launched another attack against
Warsaw in the form of drive from
the north through Przansnysz.
The new blow at the Polish cap
ital has been preceded by a terrific
artillery action. The fact is record
ed by the Russians themselves. The
first clash developed a bayonet en-
counter, the result of which neither

SLAMS some miles into the hills.
Not since the war began has the
English public been so convinced
that it will be long one. Those
who took this view months ago were
called pessimists, but now it gener-
ally is admitted that the Russian
armies must fight for months to
come under tremendous disadvant-
ages and that meantime the much
heralded big general movement on
the western front must be indefi-
nitely postponed, while the entente
powers thoroughly reorganize their
methods.
While the campaign for munitions
in Great Britain is at it's height, it
must be assumed that Germany is
straining every fiber to the same
end, and calling into play her in
ventive skill, to offset the inevitable
and terrible drain on her men.
The present consensus of opinion
among military writer's in London is
that Germany intends further to
press her eastern victories, with an
other battering ram stroke toward
Warsaw, in an endeavor to seize that
city and the whole line of the Wis
tula.
The line of offensive now direct
ed from the Przansnysz region is
along the valleys of the Omulew and
Orzyc, tributaries of the river Ma
rev, which flows across northern
Poland and joins the bend of the
Vistula above Warsaw.

ended his own life while insane.
One theory advanced as a cause for
the murder was that Miss Watson

A BURGLAR TAKES
LIFE EASY With
FAMILY IN HOUSE
Surprised in House, He Retires to
Attic, Enjoys Himself, Then
Continues His Work.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 2S.-Sur-
prised while at work in the home
of George M. Atkins of No. $3.50
West Twentieth street yesterday af-
ternoon, a burglar made his way to
the attic of the building and made
himself at home on small bed
which he found there. Smoking
cigarettes, the burglar remained in
the attic until early last night, when
the family again left the house, and
then he left with about $500 worth
Of clothing.
The fact that the burglar had
made his headquarters in the attic
was discovered by police detectives
when they investigated the report
turned in by Mr.. Atkins on his re-
turn to the house. Cigarette butts
Uttered the floor about the cot. Foot
prints in the dust about the bed
We're also found.
According to the police the burg
lar must have been at work in the
house in the afternoon when Mr.. At
kins came in. Surprised by the re-
turn of Mr. Atkins, the burglar fed
to the attic. The neighbors told the
police that they had seen a strange
man enter the Atkins home in the
afternoon, but thought that he was
some friend of the family.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 2S.-General
Victoriano Huerta, former dictator
of Mexico, who arrived here yester-
day with several we'll known MeXi-
cans, was placed under arrest by
agents of the department of justice
and taken to Fort Bliss, a prisoner
of the nation whose flag he had once
refused to salute. After some de-
lay there, he was taken before
George Oliver, United States COM
missioner, and arraigned on a
charge of conspiracy to incite revo-
luton against a friendly nation. He
secured $4,000 bail and was re-
leased. He drove at once to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Luis
Fuenetes.
Arraigned with Huerta was Gen.
Pascual Orozco. He was released on
$500 bond.
Luis Fuenetes, together with Cen
eral Huerta's son and J. B. Rather,
Interpreter, who were travelling
with the general, were not detain-
ed.
General Huerta was cheered by
hundreds of Mexican refugees and
sympathizers as he left the train.
United States officials were silent
relative to future action, pending
the receipt of instructions from
Washington.
Observers, however, freely ex-
pressed the belief that yesterdays
action of United States authorities
will have an important bearing on
Mexican developments, if it does not
effectively put an end to rumors Of
a new revolutionary movement that
have been current on the border for
several months.
Many were inclined to see in the
events an indication that Washing

A public demonstration in JuareZ,
about the hour Huerta's train was
due to reach this city, ended as sud
denly as it began. There were hur-
ried conferences among Mexican
leaders on both sides of the Rio
Grande.
Many guardedly admitted that
Huerta's detention was of the ut
most importance, but none would
comment on it's possible effect on
Mexico.
Americans were freer in their
comment. They reviewed the recent
activities along the border of the
of the Cientifico party in

of considerable sums of money for
a variety of purposes, the discovery

The sound of happy children at play was heard and never dissenting note, every body was as happy as little people ought 10 be and the Mercy Home proved to be a real home of Mercy to the little waifs that live under it's sheltering eyes.
 Everyone of the 90 or more of the chill dren that belong to the family seemec content and happy having the best sort of time, all playing together like healthy, good-natured, well fed little folks ought to be. And, the best of all, they did not have the semblance of orphan asylum children. There were no uniforms, no closely clipped heads, just directed play, which, under all circumstances, is the best. E
 Chidern of all ages were in the court. the big girls assisting in the care of the little ones. One little mother was having the time of her life taking care of Baby Christine.
 There were good and bad children, blond ones and dark, boys and girls, lit tie and big-all sorts of dispositions and characters, from all sorts of homes and surroundings, and all sorts of parents; but here at least they were under excel lent care and enjoying their childhood
 From a report made by the president, Mrs. Charles Spencer, and by the way, during the g years of the life of the home, they have never changed heads. we find brief history of the life of the Mercy Home.
 Where Refuge Was Planned
 In the auditorium of little church a group of five women planned modestly to provide refuge for friendless chill dren and girls This small group of women worked with the experiment, emil nent ministers made eloquent appeals for the Home, and after struggle these de-

voted women saw the labor of love bear fruit and a building erected with the last dollar of indebtedness paid off. In the second annual report of this institution, 1894 the total admissions to the Home were 59. with an average daily of IA. The tenth annual report shows a big jump. 135 children being admitted in this year 1901, and now daily average of 90. The 1914 report shows for the year ll4S admitted and an average daily of 95, the largest number in the home at one time being 103.
 Children are received for all manner or reasons, tuberculous mothers, working mothers unable to care for their children properly have them placed in the home, families have been assisted by taking the children from the mother for while. One of the most touching cases of the year was that of mother two years a widow and struggling to care for her children was taken ill and found in a destitute condition. As the mother was carried to the hospital, it stopped at the door of the Mercy Home and left under their care five little ones who are now still members of the family.
 Many, many cases of a similar nature might be cited down the long line of years. A
 In the tenth annual report is shown during that year the present site of the home was purchased.
 Received First Legacy
 In 1905 the Mercy Home received it's first legacy. Dr. Joseph R. Smith be- queathed the sum of $1000 to the home. Since then many large. donataions have been left.
 During this year it was considered nee essary to solicit funds to build hospital, and appeal for money was being made and soon after the hospital was built.
 Later the old kitchen and laundry had become utterly inadequate tc the needs of the home and the new rooms better

but the importance of good training and good habits instiled in these children at an impressionaple age IS a heritatge never to be forgotten. The following is from the pen of the old lady inmate of the Mercy Home who for so many years has been member of the family:
 How fast the years are passing away. and the hair is whitening from the ef- feet of old age! Yet. tl,ese white hairs should be to us chain of silver links. With the aged the heeting years cause sadness, because they are aware that time is of short duration with them. Feeble steps and wrinkled faces indicate age. decay and care. With dim eyes they gaze upon the fittering world with sadness, at the same time they have the blessed assurance that celestial home awaits them where eternal happiness reigns.
