WESTERN STRUGGLE
STANDS OUT IN WAR
GREAT BATTLE IN FLANDERS AND
NORTHERN FRANCE
Teutons Claim Pushing Success in
GaIacia-Russians Admit Retreat
But Claim Progress Elsewhere.

For five days one of the greatest bat
ties of the war has been going on
in Flanders and tie north Of France.
Ypres and Arras have been the CEN
ters of this concerted movement, be-
gun by the Germans in anticipation
of British attack last Saturday. The
French, farther to the south, wasted
no time in opening on the German
lines with artillery and later in hand
to-hand combat gained a very con-
siderable amount of ground, most Of
which they claim they still hold. Ger
man forces in vast numbers have been
delivering furious attacks against the
British, who claim to have held their
lines, although at one time they were
broken in several places.
The French report many prisoners
captured.
Still in Retreat.
The retreat of the Russians between
the Carpatcians and the Vistula is
still in full progress and tie Austrians
continue to report the capture of
towns and the pursuit of adversaries.
The Russian official announcement,
though admitting reverses in the Car
pathians, gives an optimistic view OF
the Russian position in the Baltic
provinces and at otter points. A Cra-
COW dispatch gives the Austro-German
losses since May l as 165. 900 officers
and men and places the loss to the
Russians in prisoners at $4,000.
Throughout the British Isles strong
retaliatory measures have been taken
by the people against German resi-
dents, naturalized and otherwise.
There has been serious rioting in va
rious cities and Premier Asquith is
reported to be taking steps in conso-
nance with the demands of the people
to intern or deport all alien enemies
of Great Britain.
To Go to Parliament.
The position of Italy has not been
officially defined. A council of minis
ters has been held for complete re-
view of the situation with the result
t3at the cabinet, according to the cur
rent report, will take the matter be-
fore the Italian parliament.
The United States note to Germany,
which is ready for transmission to
that country, demands full reparation
for the losses sustained by Americans
in the sinking of the Lusitania and
for other violations Of American
rights, as we'll as guarantee against
further attacks by submarines on mer-
chant ships carrying non-combatants.

TOWNS ARE IMMENSE,
FORMLESS DUSTHEAPS
Little Has Been Done to Start Life
Afresh in the Italian District
| Devasted by Earthquakes.

ROME, March Is Correspondence OF
The Associated Press Although over
two months have passed since earthquake
wrecked a large portion of the Abruzzi
district, comparatively little has been done
to start life afresh in the ruined region.
The great desire of most Of the few sur
vivors, however, is to return once more to
their native mountains and put together
some humble shelter for themselves.
At CappclIe, Avezzano and other towns
which suffered most severely, nothing
strikes the heholder SO forcibly as the
thoroughness of the destruction. The
towns are immense, formess dust heaps.
1t is easy to understand how the work Of
rescue in the early days was rendered al
most impossible by the entire lack OF
ladders tools or any instruments which
could aid in disinteTring the innumerable
victims.
| The venerable patriot and historian,
Senator Pasquale Nillari, whose fascinating
| books on Savonarola and on Alachiayelh
have been translated into many languages,
| has come forward to suggest that a body OF
workers, resembling those trained for Red
Cross work in war, should be thoroughly
and scientifically prepared beforehand in
order that when recurrent earthquake
tragedies overwhelm one part or another
OF Italy, they could be sent Instantly,
armed with every appliance TO render as
sistance that would be trebled in value by
Tits promptness. Professor Nillari recalls
that the japanese, whose land is also con
stantly threatened by earthquakes, have
4 permanent commission for the study OF
earthquakes and OF the best mode of re-
building the towns that have suffered and
of avoiding the consequences Of these Cd

before this the submarine opened fire
which was kept up rapidly while the

the chief engineer and two of the crew
and wounding several others.

BRAZIL NUTS in
MAYS Windows
ATTRACT NOTICE

A window display of Brazil nuts at
Henry May & Co.'S store is attract
ing much attention, as little is known
about this curious nut. The follow
ing description of its producing and
harvesting will be Of interest:
The Brazil nut tree, or castanha, is
probably of the forest aristocracy and
Is easily the most majestic found in
the Amazon valley and grows to the
height of from so to 100 feet in groups
of up to several hundred trees In what
are known as nut orchards. The best
producing districts are found on high
ground The Brazil nut tree does not
begin to bear until it attains the age
of 50 years or Whereabouts, and con-
tinues to produce crops intermittent
y, almost forever; at least trees
known to be hundreds of years old
have produced crops.
The crop natures in October and
the pods In which the nuts are cons
tained drop in November and Decenl-
Der. These pods are very hard and
weigh several pounds, consequently
the trees are avoided during the drop
ping period since it would be extreme
" hazardous for the gatherers to ex-
pose themselves to the danger of hay-
ing the pods fall on them from such
great height
Beginning early in January the har
vesting parties set out to gather the
crop. The pods are assembled at the
foot of the trees and broken open with
machete, after which the nuts are
carried in baskets to the canoes, which
when loaded are taken down the small
streams to the larger rivers. Here
the nuts are placed in wicker baskets
which are immersed in the stream sev-
eral times. During this process the
accumulated dirt is washed OFF and i'm
perfect nuts arise to the surface and
float off in the stream. The cleaned
nuts are transferred to lighters and IN
turn to river steamers for transport
to Manaos and Para, being the home
port of the Amazon River steamship
lines, there to await steamships FIR
New York, Liverpool or Hamburg. The
nuts are loaded on the steamships IN
bulk and bagged at destination.
