The Situation To-day.
The situation so far as it can be
ascertained today is. The Russians
have been driven across the East .Prus
sian border in the Mazurian Lake re-
gion. The official German statement to-
day declares that the Germans are oc-
cupying Bielsk and Plock. The forces
of the Gar are falling still further
hack, apparently seeking the physical
support OF the Polish fortified towns
to the south of them. The far upper
line, which was over Tilsit. and reached
to the Baltic, has gone back into Po-
land on both banks of the Niemen to
prevent the possibility of fanking
movement which might deprive them
of supports. The Germans are over in
Bukowina, but so far they have not
been able to swing northward towards
Warsaw.

honey. He halted his carriage to
drink in the fragrance. Science has

that of sweet clover that it can hardly

eyes.

inches high said the well-dressed
man who had come into the shop.
Zone of the only pair in existence,
and valued officially by the American
museum at forty thousand dollars
apiece
How much do you want on it?''
inquired the pawnbroker, more from
force of habit than anything else
Two thousand dollars" answered
the man.
All the while he kept his hands
carefully about the precious object,
resting in its velvet case. The pawn.
broker stared at it. 1t was worth its
weight in gold, and something more

! was also an art museum. He had han

the peachblow vases. and he had heard
of this unique pair. one of which rest

being the property of some unknown
European.
