Instead of keeping on until he came
to the place we sought, he turned off
and quickly slipped behind the shelter

in the fence and he bent down, gaz-

Across the lot was the new hang

he called several numbers. Then we

Carefully he piled his hands to the

see it. 'See!"
He pulled out the stem to set the
hands and slowly twisted it between
his thumb and finger. He turned the
hands until they were almost at the
point OF three o'clock.
Then he held the watch out where
all could see.
AS the minute hand touched three,
from the back of the case, as if from
the chasing itself, a little needle, per-

1t seemed to come from what looked
like merely a small insect in the deco

AUSTRIA OPENS The WAR
Gunboats and Airships Attack Coast Of

London.-Little or no time has been
allowed to elapse between the declara-

Italy and Austria. Austrian aeroplanes,
destroyers and torpedo boats on May

the 'Adriatic and bombarded several
towns, including Venice, while in the

of the River Adige In the direction OF
Verona, and that rapid and fierce
blows will be delivered almost imme-

Germans doubtless believe, would
serve to hold off an Italian advance
from the province Of Venice, where the
flat nature of the country would give
the Italians a greater chance of sue

Throughout Austria and Germany
there is bitter denunciation of Italy,

England as the most hated enemy.

New Battle Begins on San and Dneis-

Flank Movement

LondOn-Russia has commenced her
counter-offensive against the Austro-
Germans, who drove her Carpathian
armies back to the San and Dneister
rivers, and an entirely new battle is
developing.
The Russians, with strong re-en-
forcements. have crossed the San con-
fluence with the Vistula and are ad-
vancing southwark in an effort to out
flank the Germans, who crossed the
San in the vicinity of Jaroslau. They
also are striking hard at the Austrians
in Bukowina, but have apparently
made no further Roadway there, nor

FIGHTING NEAR PRIZE YSL
Germans and Austrians Make Repeat.
ed Heavy Attacks to Relieve
Pressure at Other Points.

London.-The most important battle
on the eastern front is that raging
southeast Of Przemysl, where the Aus
TRANS and Germans are making repeat
eG attacks in an endeavor to break the
Russian line and thus relieve the pres
sure the Russians are bringing to bear
on the Germans who crossed the San.
Fighting also is in progress in Cour-
land, along the East Prussian frontier,
and In Central Poland, where the Ger
mans have attempted an offensive
along the Rawka river. None of these
acts apparently has been decisive. al
though heavy losses have been SUI
fered on both sides. Russia expresses
satisfaction with the situation along
her front.
Heavy fighting has been resumed in
the west from Arras to the sea-, and
both Germans and French claim the
advantage.
1t is evident that the allies do not
intend to relax their efforts on this
front, although a big general move
ment has not yet beer undertaken, the
present operations having as their OBJ
tect improvement in their positions and
forcing the Germans to counter-at-
tacks.
The allies have landed additional
troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula, and
although progress there must continue
slow, there is every confidence here
that The resistance of the Turks will
before long be broken. The loss to the
allies is heavy, as is shown by the cas-
ualty lists. but 1t is asserted that the
Turks are under cross-fire from the

OTHERS MAY JOIN ALLIES
Roumania, Greece and Bulgaria are
Believed to Be Nearing the Brink
Of the War.

In the allied countries. Italian inter
vention is hailed with delight, and in
the Italian quarters of London and
Paris there have been enthusiastic
demonstrations and cheering farewells
to the Italians leaving to join the col
ors.
Roumania, Greece and Bulgaria have
made no move. The government of
bulgaria has reiterated that it will
continue neutral so long as Bulgarian
interests are not directly affected. and
it sees 10 reason why they should be.
The opposition. however. is voicing the
opinion that Bulgaria should seize the
opportunity to Join with the allies.
Bulgaria may be drawn in through
an incident which has arisen between
her and Turkey over the seizure by
Turkey OF a number of Bulgarian rail
way cars loaded with goods. Sofia has
lodged Il protest against this action.
Roumania may be affected by change
OF fortune in the battle and In Middle

nand has reviewed the army. Great en-

ROOSEVELT WINS IN SUIT
Jury hoIds That Former President Of

William Barnes.

Syracuse, N. Twelve men chosen

and that he was "corruptly allied with
Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hail."

of the former president. In the belief
of the jury, everything Col. Roosevelt
said about the former chairman Of the
Republican state committee was true,
and therefore Mr.. Barnes was not IL
beled.
The verdict was returned after 40
ballots had been taken and the jury
had considered for AZ hours the evil
dence which was presented during five
weeks of the trial. Nineteen hours
were consumed before eleven Of the
jurymen, who since the second ballot
had stood together, persuaded Juror
No. 1l-Edward Burns, a Syracuse mo.

Roosevelt later declared to be "typi-

BALFOUR WILL HEAD NAVY
Formation OF the Coalition Cabinet
for England Is Now Nearing
Completion.

London.-Progress in drawing up the
coalition ministry has been slow dur.
ing the weekend, for the Unionist
leaders are still undecided as to how
the chief offices at their disposal shall
be filled.
Several matters, however. have been
definitely settled. First. 1t is now
agreed that Mr.. Balfour is to be first
lord of the admiralty.
II is a curious selection, because the
justification OF the coalition ministry
is and must be that II is to increase
the British national efficiency, and Mr..
Balfour has already said to his friends
that he fears the strain OF this great
office will be too much for his health.
Lord Lansdowne early last week
expressed his view in his case also.
that to take up office again would be
too great a strain upon his health. But
he has reconsidered his decision and
will now enter the ministry. Lord
Lansdowne has worked In complete
sympathy with Bonar Law and his in.
fluence Just now is inevitable in en-
deavoring TO adjust conflicting claims
Of the not inconsiderable number of
Unionist peers who wish to be in the
government.
Mr.. McKenna will stay at the home
office. 1t is not expected that the In
dia office will be offered to either
Lord Curzon or Mr.. Churchill. The
latter may be invited to join the gov
eminent. but not in one OF the great
offices. The report that Arthur Hen
derson will be president of the local
government board is premature. 1t is
not unlikely appointment to this office
might be offered Sir John Simon.
