kaiser's Forces Continue to
Make Desperate Attempts
to Reach Warsaw.
PREPARING FOR NEW ATTACK
Plan to Force Gar to Withdraw
Troops from Prussia and Hungary
still Fighting for carpa-
THAN Passes.

London, Feb. with comparative
quiet prevailing on the Western front,
the fighting in the east, which is more
strenuous and widespread, monopo-
Lies attention.
While the Russians are on the OF
fensive in east Prussia, northwestern
Poland and the passes of the Carpa-
thians, the Germans continue their at
tacks on the Russian lines along the
Bzura and Rawka rivers The invaders
reached the Rawka line about the mid
die of December and since that time
have made at least half a dozen at
tacks in force against the Russian
trenches, each time at undoubted
heavy cost.
Expect New Attack.
Nothing daunted, however, they
have been repeating the attacks dur
ing the past week and while they have
made slight advance it has been ac-
complished only after further great
losses, according to the reports from
Petrograd.
Now it is believed that the Germans
are preparing for still another on
slaught, for only by compelling the
Russians to strengthen their lines pro
tecting Warsaw can they hope to di-
vert the Russian attacks from east
Prussia and Hungary.
Battle Is Still On.
In the Carpathians the Austrians
and Germans are offering vigorous re-
sistance to the Russians. but
decision has not been reached in the
battle, which has been in progress
there for some days.
The statement in the Russian Off
cial report that there has been fight
ing to the southeast of Uzsok Pass, in
the interior of Dukla Pass, indicates
the extent of the struggle for the pos
session of these important strategic
points.
The alleged attempt of a German
submarine, as officially reported, to
torpedo the British hospital ship As
turias, has attracted a great deal of
attention in England, where it is
strongly condemned.

HANDOUTS FOR THE STARVING
Hungry Men, Women and Children
Stood in Cold Two Hours
Waiting for Food

New York, Feb. broadway 3
money spenders saw how it feels to
be desperately hungry yesterday at
ternoOn- Past the side door of the
Hotel Knickerbocker filed a line of
fifteen hundred ragged, famished
men and women. They had stood
in line two hours in near zero
weather to get a free cup of coffee
and a sandwich
For three hours it was the biggest
show on Broadway drama of strik-
ing contrasts Under the eyes of
richly gowned women, protected from
the cold by expensive furs, and men
swathed in heavy overcoats, the pro-
cession of thinly clad women and
men surged slowly toward the door
where white capped walters passed
out steaming hot food.
The lobby and the tea rooms be-
came deserted, while millionaires
and heiresses swarmed around the cor
ner to watch the spectacle. Another
crowd poured into the street from
Broadway, until Patrick Gunne, police
sergeant, executed a raid on what he
called the army of the unemployed
A little hollow faced woman, who
bit nervously at her cold blue fingers,
was the first guest" She gulped
down a cup of coffee and fed with a
sandwich tucked away in her coat
pocket.
Next in line was a gray-haired old
woman, then a slender, white-fced
girl with two little children. She
passed the coffee first to the children
and devoured her own portion in three
rapid gulps.
A limousine rolled along, close to
the curb. From the window a woman
stared curiously at the crowd MUNICH
ing sandwiches in the cold.
I'D work all day for what she
spends for gasoline" volunteered the
white-faced girl.
Above the hotel door was a sign
that read: .'Welcome-come again
tomorrow if times are hard"

Central College for Women,
which is one of Lexington's
most valued and cherished in
stitutions, closed it's forty-sixth
year with exercises extending
from Saturday, May 20, to We'd
nesday, June 2. The exercises
were interesting throughout and
indicated the high attainments
of the institution both in its reg
ular collegiate work and in the
special departments.
For many years it has been
recognized that anything done
by Central College would be
worth while and this year has
only strengthened the colleges
reputation. The work required
in the literary department for
the A. B. degree now extends
over four years after high school
and is equal to that required by
the best colleges and universities
of the country. There has beer
no tendency to mollify the re.
quirements in order to invite in
creased attendance and the pur
suit Of the policy of adhering tx
the Dest standards has beer
fully justified by the results
The citizens of Lexington fee
that in Central there is an air o.
seriousness and that nothing
but meritorious work will b,
credited.
In the end there is no doub
that the striving for high ideal
will win out and the futur
growth of Central College ma,
be considered as assured. Thos
in charge of its affairs hav
a vision, and yet they are practi
cal people capable of maxim
their vision a reality. There
no ostentation at Central, bu
the institution is steadily an
conscientiously doing solid wor
and forging ahead.
The commencement ceremonie
were in accord with the spirit {
Central and caused favorabl
comment from all who attende
them.

was clear all the time of the eX-
ercises and the atmosphere was
comfortably cool. A few who
expected to come from out of
town were unable to reach this
city, but even without them a
large number of visitors was on
hand. The town people, too,
showed unusual interest, so
that there was a big attendance
at every exercise.
The past year has been one of
unusual activity at the Acad-
emy. Results along every line
scholastic, military and athletic
have been gratifying. The
cadets have been well behaved
well satisfied and loyal. Theil
