Like Western Situation

What the Austro- German com
manders have now attempted is wholly
analogous to the French attacks upon
the German line north of Noyon and
about Peronne and st. Quentin In
September. Had the French sue
Ceeded they would have moved east
behind the German front from Noyon
to the Meuse, cutting the railways,
which We're the life lines of the Ger
mans In France. German retreat from
France would have been inevitable
had this thrust succeeded.
Now. looking east, it will be seen
that the front between the Car
pathians and the Vistula above Tarnow
exactly corresponds to the elbow in
the German position in France be-
tween Noyon and ST. Quentin. Could
the Germans break the Russian line
at that point they could advance, rak-
ing the whole Russian front along
the Carpathians.
To save themselves the Russians
would have to draw their troops out
of the Carpathian passes. out of the
Dukla and Lupkow. the first of which
Is barely % miles from the Dunaiec-
Biala front. where the Germans are
attacking. The troops thus with
drawn would have to be realigned
facing west instead Of south. Mean
time the Austrian forces defending
the passes would pour into Galicia
and join hands with the Austro- Ger
man forces advancing from the
DunaieC.
If the Austro- German forces have
won the success Berlin and Vienna
now report, if the Russian troops de-
Tending the flank Of the Carpathian
army have been routed. the end of the
Carpathan campaign is in sight. Back
of the Dunajec the first good position
for defensive stand is along the San,
running from the mountains north
through Przemysl and Jaroslav to the
junction of the Vistula and the San.
Meantime it Is necessary not to lose
sight of the Austro- German troops
moving north and west from Ruko-
wilma and now reported along the
Dniester River These forces are
striking at the other flank of Rus
sian armies in GaliCia. They are NOV
ing toward Lemberg from the south
and east as the Dunajec army is COM
ing toward that city from the north
and west. Here is one more of those
grandiose enveloping movements so
dear to the German General Staff, the
movement that won Lodz. Tannen-
berg and the Mazurian Lakes.
Retreat May Be Forced
If the AustroGerman forces east
of Cracow along the Dunaiec and
those west of Czernowitz on the
Dniester can continue their advance,

woman's father, who preferred an.
other sutton, one Elijah Tyre. Tyre
was an elderly scotchman and re.
puted to be wealthy. 7.
Brewer disappeared one day and
was not heard from for! several
months. In the meantime Garinger
persuaded his daughter to marry
Tyre: Brewer returned to Komono
and soon was meeting his former
sweetheart clandestinely.
Tyre swore yengence against
Brewer and, shortly after the latter's
return, d mob formed one night in an
abandoned cabin about three miles
east OF Kokomo.
Tied to Tree and Whipped.
The mob went to mouse near Ko.
komo and found Brewer and Mrs.
Tyre there together. They tore Brew.
er away from the woman's embrace
and despite her pleas, took him to a
tree and whipped him.
The members OF the mob had
blackened their faces to look like
negroes, but Brewer recognized sey.
eral of them and threatened to kill
them Il his life was spared.
In the morning Brewer had disap.
peared. 1t was openly limited that
the wronged husband, stung to a
frenzy Of madness, had stabbed
Brewer to death with a pocket knife
while the man was bound to the tree.
Several arrests were made, but as
the ringleaders Of the>m mob had es'
capped from the county it was impos.
sibles to obtain conclusive proof OF
the guilt of those under arrest and
the case was dismissed.
Men who were known to have been
members of the mob later charged
Tyre with Brewers death. Tyre al.

and on his death he'd, in a confession,
said that he was a member! Of a mob
that killed Brewer, but that he him:

According to the story told by
Brewer TO Mrs. pitzer in Ohio, many
years ago, he was left unconscious
by the "whitecappers,. who thought
he was dead. When he recovered
