Buzeu region. The text of the Ger

the Russian Rumanian army was
lighting desperately to hold, has been
forced by Field Marshal Won Macken-

prisoners is announced

SHAMOKIN FIRE FLARES
UP SECOND TIME
Continued From First Pagc.l


s15O,0O0.
Sixteen hose companies from all
portions of the region aided the local
department to fight the fire which was
the most destructive in local history.
A number of firemen were overcome
by smoke and were revived after
much difficulty. Mrs. Edwin Stewart,
u prominent resident, who is a help
less invalid, was carried to the street
by rescuers shortly before her resi-
dence was enveloped in flames.
The flames spread so rapidly that
appeals for assistance were sent to
Sunbury. Mount Carmel and other
nearby towns. Several fire depart
ments responded but the firemen were
handicapped by frozen water plugs
and high winds. Sixty families occu-
pied the three upper floors of one of
the buildings destroyed were driven
into the bitter cold. many of them In
their night clothing. Suffering, espe-
cially among the women and children,
was intense before shelter was provid-
ed by neighbors and charitable insti-
tutions.
A defective f1ue is believed to have
caused the fire.

Germans PowerIesS
In places the Germans galiantly
strove to hold their ground but Gen
eral Nivelle's dispositions were so we'll
made that they were generally power
less to stem, even momentarily, the
tide. One after another Vacherauville
and Louvemont villages, and the
Hardaumont and Besonvaux works
fell without the defenders having
time to carry away either guns or
material and prisoners began to
stream steadily rearward to pens pre-
pared for their reception.
1900 Prisoners
The weather, according to hitherto
accepted notions, was all against the
offensive. 1t was wet and misty and
the French officers believe that this
fact undoubtedly led the Germans to
tack. The wretched weather did not
prevent also the aviators from render
ing valuable aid to the attack and
their services are believed to have had
an important bearing on the fact that
the French losses were singlarly small.
The large number of prisoners accord
ing to latest advices nearly 5000 is
an indication of the surprise nature
of the onset
The news of the victory was re-
ceived in Paris with enthusiasm as a
welcome relief to the gloomy tidings
from Rumania. General Nivelle is
the man of the hour. His latest
achievement justifles, it is felt, his
capacity as commander. in chief and
augurs well for the future.
The number of guns captured from
the Germans in General Nivelles vic
tory on the Verdun front, as counted
up to the present, is eighty, according
TO the latest reports reaching Paris.

Married in Old Age.

A septuagenarian couple have just
been married at Hull, England. Bride
and bridegroom are both inmates OF
an institution founded for the benefit
of tradesmen and others who find it
necessary in their declining years to
seek assistance. Each has a grown
up family. The bride has been a resi-
dent of the home for some time, but
the bridegroom obtained admission
only three months ago. Within a few
days he was attracted to the lady, the
rules of the institution permitting
freedom of social intercourse little
less than that enjoyed outside. The
attraction was mutual; an acquair-
tanceship of boyhood and girlhood
days was revived, and an offer OF
marriage was made and accepted. 1t
was necessary to obtain the consent
of the government body of the insti-
tuition to the marriage, but this was
a mere matter of form, and was read
lily granted A friend of the bride,
who lives in a pleasant country vii
lage a few miles from Hull, invited
the pair to spend the honeymoon with
her. !gs.. .,

arrest of the young man.
Green started out hunting, but he
couldn't wait until he got beyond the

new shotgun. Near the town hall
he espied a quail, raised his gun and
fired. The quail went through the

the town tabby to it's final hunting

SHOWED KINDLY HEART
COSSACK SAVED BABY FROM IN
EVITABLE DEATH.
incident Vouched for by Eminent
American Artist Throws Somewhat
New Light on Character of
%. Russian Soldier.

When F. D. Millet, the artist, was
at the front with a band of Cossacks
during the war between the Russians
and the Turks in 1878, an odd incident
came to his knowledge. Mr.. Millet's
words are
"One cold afternoon at the end of
December a young Circassian Cossack
came to camp headquarters with an
article of booty which attracted more
attention than any other object before
exhibited as a relic of the war. He
was dressed in worn and shabby uni
form and rode an underfed, carelessly
groomed and overworked animal.
There was a merry, kindly expression
on his face, and but for his uniform
he would never have been suspected
of belonging to the race whose name
is widely synonymous with feroclty
and cruelty. He had gathered up the
long name of his horse in such way
that it made primitive sort of ham,
mock The fingers of his left hand
were twisted in the knotted hOrseha1r,
and in this ingenious bed lay, or rath-
er reclined, half-seated, little girl
baby, perhaps year and half old.
She was dressed in peculiar, anti
quated costume made of figured cal
leo.
In reply to our questions the Cos
sack reported that he had been, with
his men, that morning in pursuit OF a
Turkish wagon train. They were I'M
able to capture the train, but had gath
cred up a great quantity of booty
thrown away by the fugitives to light
en- their loads. On the side of the
road he noticed bundle of ragged
counterpanes, and dismounted to ex-
anime it. To his surprise he discov-
cred that a child's voice proceeded
from the bundle, and unrolling it, he
disclosed the baby, lying quite warm
and comfortable, just as it had rolled
off one of the wagons. He said he
couldn't leave the little one there to
die, and couldn't take care of it him
self, so he rigged a cradle out of his
horses name and came directly to
headquarters

BOYS DEFINITION OF DESERT
Mothers Suggestion That 1t Was
Place Where Nothing Would Grow
Leads to Amusing Reply.

A fond mother was assisting the
little boy the other evening in the
mastery of his geography lesson, and
coming to the description of a desert,
which formed part of the lesson to
be memorized, she quoted the words
of the textbook to the effect that it
was "a barren tract"
The little fellow repeated the
phrase after her, but his air of mys-
tification showed that he hadn't the
slightest idea of the meaning con-
veyed by the group of words, and the
better to reach his understanding, she
endeavored to simplify the description
by defining it as "a place where moth
ing would grow
The boys face frightened with the
light of awakened intelligence, and
the mother, proud and expectant, put
the question:
Now, Johnny what is a desert?"
Prompt came the response:
