MIGHTY FORTS SURRENDERED
BY 25,ooo STARVING AUsTRI-
ANS AFTER LONG SIEGE.
HUNGARY THREATENED
LONDON AND PARIS CELEBRATE
WHAT Is CALLED TURNING
POINT OF WAR IN EAST.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, March 23-The long invest
ment of the mid-Galician fortress of
| Przemysl has ended.
Depleted by disease, subsisting on
horseflesh, and surrounded by su-
| perior force of Russians, the garrison
has surrendered to the besieging
army after defense lasting many
months, which up to the present is re-
corded as Austria's most noteworthy
| contribution to the war.
Petrograd, London and Paris cele-
| brated the event. Petrograd and Paris
in the spontaneous manner character
istic of these cities; London with ST.
lent and grim satisfaction which is
the Briton's way.
The newspapers assert that the fall
Of the fortress marks the most import
ant capture of the war, not excepting
Antwerp, in that it not only releases
considerably Russian forces which can
| be thrown into the fluctuating strug-
gle in the Carpathians, but opens the
door to Cracow and the plains of
Hungary.
1t is argued, moreover, that the NOR
al effect of the surrender will be tre-
mendous, the theory of the allies be-
ing that it will stimulate feeling in
their favor both in Rumania and Bull
earia.
Przemysl fell with honor, the Brit
ish press comedies, for it withstood
the onslaughts longer than any place
during the war, the investment having
| begun about Sept. Is, something more
than six months ago.
The duration Of the siege, compared
with the length Of time it took the
Germans to capture such strongholds
as Liege, Namur and Antwerp, was
due to two causes, one being the de-
sire of the Russians to keep the loss
Of life among the besieging army at
minimum, the other to lack Of great
guns which the German had in Bel
GUM.
The investment was not close one,
the garrison having until recently a
radius of about twelve miles in which
to move about. :
An aeroplane post was maintained
almost up to the last, and it Is said
that even some scanty food supplies
were carried in this way.
The Przemysl garrison was esti-
mated at $4,000 men last September,
and last week it was reported that it
had diminished to $4,000.
The French battleship Jauregui-
berry, which carries among her arma-
ment two Pinch and two 1O.S-inch
guns, was ordered Monday to join the
French squadron operating against the
Dardanelles.
There is no late news from the Oar
danelles, and the belief in England
seems to be that the operations Will
perhaps be more protracted than at
first expected.

ALCOHOL, SHOT AND SHELL.

The Reformer, a paper OF western
Australia, writes of the effects OF in
toxicating drinks in the expeditionary
force OF that state as follows:
A little time ago 10000 troops were
medically certified as sound in wind
and limb. Then alcohol began to put
in its fine work, and in short time
1000 of them, either for behavior or
sickness, were dismissed. Their
places we're soon filed, but neither
the citizens nor the soldiers had learn
ed their lesson, and so whisky or
beer was still regarded as the bond
of good-fellowship, and the test OF
hospitality. Then came along pneu-
monia. that dread daughter of alco-
holism. 1t was pneumonia in the
camp, pneumonia at Albany, pneu-
monia on the sea, and pneumonia be-
meath the shadow of the pyramids.
Some tardily recovered, others were
laid beneath the turf or the wave be-
fore ever they saw the flash of Turk
ish sword or heard the burst of Ger
man bomb.
Alcoholism and pneumonia indeed
can scarcely be separated, and the
foremost physicians Of England now
are saying that they look upon the
previous alcoholic condition of a pa
tient as the arbiter of his life when
attacked by pneumonia. This firs'
blood in our war was drawn. not by
the bayonets of the enemy, but by
the folly of ourselves. The foolish
hospitality of the people and the
drinking dens of the state JOINED
hands in destroying our defenders.

says, how many thousands of drinking
farmers will shingle theirshomes and
barns or build new ones as soon as
they quit their meanness." Tell the
shoe manufacturer of Massachusetts
what it means to take all the bare
feet of drunkards' children off the
ground. Tell the iron men CT Penn
sylvania that new stoves will be need
ed In 100000 homes when the saloon
keeper ceases to get the money, and
tell the miners they will have work
all winter through getting coal enough
TO put into those stoves. Tell the wool
growers of Ohio that everybody in this
country is going to be wrapped n
wooden and sleep under blankets when
the blizzards blow, and the men no
longer heat up with liquid fire" In or.
der to exterminate their families with
atmospheric cold Tell the cattle rails
ers of the West and stockyards men
in Chicago that there is going to be
beef on thousands of tables, where
now there are few cold potatoes. Tell
the grocer he can sell for cash and say
good-by to bad debts when the dimes
no longer go into the saloon till Tell
the farmers there is going to be an
unheard of demand for flour and meal,
butter, cheese and eggs as soon as
beer drinkers cease fostering that in

he was for several years the able gen.

guments that once seemed SO plaus-
Ible have failed me; for the founda-
ton of my faith and the corner stone
of my arguments was the failure OF

stone is displaced. my structure has
fallen, and It remains for me to help

MR.. BOWKER GAVE UP
Concluded He Didn't Need No
Vessel Prop'ty Anyhow"
Possibly Fact That He Had Already
Spent Almost Twice the Amount
He Was Endeavorine to Collect
May Have Induced Him.

When Capt. John Haskell left the
schooner Maria, fifty-six years old, but
still able to anchor of Lincolnville
Beach, Maine, while he went home to
Owls Head for Easter, he owed Eb-
enezer Bowker, ship chandler, $26 for
supplies. But 1t didn't worry Eb-
enezer any. Captain John had been
trading with him for more than 30
years and had always paid his bills to
the last cent And It would have been
all right had Captain John come back
but he didn't; he died of pneumonia
a few days after reaching home.
After trying vainly to find someone
who felt like paying the bill for stores.
Bowker got out an attachment He
hired Belfast lawyer to draw the pa
pers and got Constable Seth Pease to
serve them.
Next morning when Mr. Bowker got
to the store he found Constable Pease
sitting on the steps waiting for him
with the information that the Maria
had dragged her anchor in the night
and was aground two miles down the
beach, and just over the line into
Knox county. where he CONSTABLE
Pease) "ain't got no jur-is-dic-shun."
This made It necessary to go to Cam.
den and get new set OF papers. While
the legal arrangements were being
made a southerner came along and
took the ancient coaster over to Isles

other revamping of the papers was
then necessary, and Constable Pease
went over to Islesboro, only to find
that some fishermen, having found the
Maria adrift. made sail on her and
took her to Stonington, Deer Isle,
which is in Hancock county.
II Mr.. Bowker had foreseen all this
trouble he would never have bothered
about h'1 $26, but now that he had paid
out $3.50 in legal expenses, and been
"ioshed" by the entire community for
his inability to catch an old tub like
the Maria, his dander was up and he
swore that he would get the old crit
ter II he had to send for the United
States navy to help. He got some more
red tape unwound to fit the Hancocb
county necessities, and employed q
constable at Stoningtol to serve the
papers. After day or two word came
back that nephew Of the deceased
skipper, who had been working in tht
quarries, had settled with the fisher

Upon receipt of this news Mr.. Bow

nearly $40 in a vain attempt to co
Iect $26. Then. with energetic stroke
of a spattering stub pen he crosse
the account off his books, saying:
