Crowds in Panic as Cars
Pursue Cyclist Who Ran
Down Woman.

With sirens shrieking and horns
banking. more than twenty automo-
niles raced down Seventh Avenue last
night in pursuit Of a reckless motor
eveNst. The cycle driver had run
down and seriously injured Mrs
Hannah Adolphus, at 125th Street. HIS
pursuers lost the trail in Central PARK
Mrs. Adolphus, who lives at $50 west
12sth Street. was crossing Seventh Ave
nue.. She was on the south side OF
12bth Street, where automobiles ana
other vehicles slow up for the cross
town cars. The woman had just leit
the curb, when the motor cyclist came
down upon her.
The cycle struck her, hurting her q
distance Of several feet. She struck
headforemost. The rider threw one
glance over his shoulder. The trafhc
patrolmAn, ordinarily stationed at that
corner. was of duty on account OF the
holiday.
Women screamed, and several men
set out in hopeless pursuit Of the motor
cycle. In front Of the Theresa Hotel
WAS Max Baden, of 666 Crotona Park
South. His touring car faced south
and the engine was running.
Baden put on all the speed he dared.
Inside Of two blocks he was going at
forty-fye miles an hour. But the
eyehst ahead continued TO increase his
lead.
Through the tumble Of pleasure We
hieles on the favorite highway from
Central Park 70 Grand Concourse, fu-
gitive and pursuer lodged and sped.
Bsden's gestures and shouts brought
other ehaufeurs into the ruck. Az
every crossing people scattered IN
panic.

shaved q line of trolley cars "nllc
motormen threw on their brakes win
jar that unseated passengers. Inc
cars delayed the pursuit and enabled
the fugitive TO reach Central Park De
fore his closest pursuer was within two
blocks Of him.
The pursuing automobiles clustered
while chsuFeurs sought information OF
loiterers. None could remember when
Of the three driyeways the cyclist had
taken. Split into three bodies, the
automobiles secured Central Park from

search WAS fruItlcss.
Mrs. Adolphus was taken 10 Harlem
Hospital, where il was found that she
was injured internally and probably
had received a fracture Of the skull.

Russian Losses Due TO Delay
in Retiring from East Prussia
lBy Cable 70 The Tribune.

Petrograd. Feb. 22.-The report OF
Grand Duke Nicholas concerning the
Russians retirement from East Prus-
sis leaves no doubt that they sustained
serious losses. They delayed the exe-
cution of their man9uvre a little too
long, and snowstorms, by blocking the
railways and rendering the roads ex-
tremely difficult, hampered what had
begun as a timely, orderly retreat be-
fore overwhelming forces.
The Germans began their concentra-
ton in East Prussia in the first days
Of February. and the public was APP
prised of this movement in the Grand
Dukes bulletin of February Q. The
East Prussian front has never been OF
primary importance in the Grand
Dukes strategic plan, and the forces
operating there were not reinforced.
Accordingly, their orders were plainly
TO hold out there, advancing where and
when possible without incurring risks
and 70 retire along certain lines when
il was judged that the moment had ar
rived. The 10th Army had worked per-
sistently, but in a leisurely fashion
for months in East Prussia without be-
ing once mentioned in the daily bull
letin. IL was only when the plans de-
yeloped on the main front--in the Car
pathians-that il began energetically
to advance and show activity in the
widely separated districts from Tilsit
to Biala.
Military experts say that. looking
back upon the daily story in the bulle-
tins, which for a couple Of months
never mentioned the East Prussian
front, and noting the recent extreme
activity Of the force, which now
turns out TO have consisted OF only
four corps, il is beyond doubt that
the Russian plans in East Prussia
amounted only TO provocation. The
experts insist, therefore, that the plan
succeeded, for the Germans are close
upon the defensive lines OF the NaPew
and the Bobr in force so large that
weakness elsewhere is necessarily i'm
piled. What use the Grand Duke in
tends 70 make Of this plan of proyocs-
ton which appears 70 be operating also
on the other flank 700 mites away cam
not be told now.
Russia's Plan Costly.
Russia has lost number OF men in
accomplishing the move required by
the strategic scheme. They were lost
partly owing 20 the local commanders
having discretion regarding the mo-
ment for retirement, partly because
climatic conditions became suddenly
adverse, but ensinly because one corps
proved Itself an exception to tbs rule

PERIL OF RUST.
A Constant Menace to Structures Of
Iron and Steel.

a Constant Menace to Structures Of
Iron and Steel.
Among the many questions which,
the architect and builder are called
upon to consider, none perhaps is more;
important than that relating to the.
corrosion of iron and steel. This tend
ency to decay is peculiar to these
materials, since none of the ordinary
metals exhibits it to any comparable
degree, and it is so strong that an un--
protected piece is soon reduced to a.
shapeless mass of rust. 1t is one thing
to design and erect a mighty sky
scraper, but an entirely different mat
ter to protect it from those Influences
which, if allowed to do their work.
would ruin the greatest structure in a.
short time.
It seems strange. in a way, that I'M
less iron is well protected it is far less
resistant to natural agencies thar
wood or other building materials 1t
is being used more and more in the
fabrication of large buildings and
other structures of permanent type,
and the length of their life. to say
nothing of the safety of the people
employed in and around them. depends,
on the success with which corrosion.
can be prevented.
Painters are constantly employed on
such structures as the Brooklyn or
Forth bridges scraping away rust spots
and repainting. When serious rusting
is once started it is very hard to check,
and as it would inevitably lead to the
destruction Of the framework a col
lapse would be certain to occur sooner
or later, probably with an appalling
loss of life.-Engineering Magazine.

Curious Bread.

The bread that was served out dur
ing the siege of Genoa was curious:
mixture. Marriott, who had to eat it or
60 without it, says it was "a horrible,
compound of damaged flour, sawdust,
starch, hair powder, oatmeal, linseed,
rancid nuts and other nasty sub
stances, to which little solidity was
given by the admixture of a small
portion Of cocoa. Each loaf. more
over, was held together by little bits
Of wood, without which it would have
fallen to powder. General Thiebault
in his journal Of the siege compares
this bread to peat mingled with oil."-
