GERMANS HALT RUSS
BERLIN SAYS ALL ATTACKS HAVE
BEEN REPULSED.
Petrograd Military Critics Say Slavs
Saved Northumberland Gains
Reported.

Berlin, March 29.-German troops
have withstood all the Russian at
tacks, though the latter were helped
by re-enforcements. The Russians
have suffered heavy losses.
Petrograd, March 29.-The Russians
have saved Verdun and the Suez canal.
3, That is the view held by the lead
ing military critics who see in the
great offensive against the Austro-
Germans and the drive through Per.
STA and Armenia two master strokes
which may prove to have been the
salvation of the allies.
Although the Russians have suffered
severe casualties in their attacks
against the strong German positions
along the Dvina river and in front Of
Dvinsk the results have more than off
set the losses, as fortified works have
been carried by storm which the leu
tons had regarded as impregnable.
Despite obstinate resistance, the
Russians captured two lines of
trenches northwest of POstavy in
storm assaults that followed a VIC
lent bombardment In the region of
Lake Narocz, which has been the
cceno of terrible fighting for more
thar a week, the Germans have de-
livered strong cOuntorattaCks which
cost them heavily.

FLYING IS DIFFICULT
TREAcHERous WINDS AND BAND
ITS MENACE U. s. AIRMEN.
Only In the Alps Are European Flyers
Likely to Encounter Conditions
ParaIleline Those In Mexico.

Field Headquarters American Expe-
dition, Colonia Dublan, chihuahua,
Mexico, (by aeroplane to Columbus. N
NJ, March 29)-The first aero squad
ron In the United States army in
weeks service with Brig. Gen. John j.
Pershing's expedition, in Mexico, has
surmounted flying problems more diff
cult than most of those encountered by
European aviators.
The work has been done thus Tar
without really serious accident. One
of the senior aviators said that only In
the Alps are the European flyers likely
to encounter conditions paralleling
those under which the American avi-
ators are working, . $751;.
Never" said this aviator, have we
had any flying as difficult as we have
done here. We are under handicap
of an altitude of about $500 feet when
we RISE t'.f .fr f.%,f
: Some Of the mountains we have
tried to get over are approximately
5000 feet above sea level, and none OF
our machines is powerful enough to
carry the pilot, observer and sufficient
fuel at such an altitude. We might get
over one of the high mountains, but
we probably would be unable to carry
enough fuel for the return flight"
He told about fight of some OF his
men over the mountain pass which the
aviators described as some Of the
toughest country in Mexico.
Just before reaching the pass they
were above gorge 1900 feet deep. No
landing place was observable within
fifteen miles of this pass, and one Of
the flyers had difficulty in rising to the
necessary altitude. He turned and
wheeled his machine, trying to ascend.
but the strong air currents swept him
around until che was within about
twenty feet OF the tree tops near the
summit Of the pass.
He had grazed the trees and, with
out being able to fight his way higher
through the treacherous winds. he
was forced to turn back.
The other aviators succeeded in
making the flight. Two Of them, car
rying dispatches, landed near the
camp III d "luu, "IllCu IHSy uGoCI lDSu
as the worst encountered by any of
the squadrons since the fight for the
Mackay trophy in 1914 from San Diego,
Cal. to Los Angeles, when Lieut.. Fred
! Gersterner, an observer, was killed.
The bad air near this camp drove
one of the machines into a spiral
nose glide, in which 1t dropped about
1000 feet. When the aviator came
out of the glide he saw some cavalry
! men waving a blanket, and he fin
ished the descent, delivering his or
ders safely. Five minutes later the
second aviator on this particular trip
came overhead. his machine rocking
like a boat in a rough sea. The sec
ond plane also landed safely.
In flying here" said the aviator,
1T is a case frequently of pitting ones
life against the motor, for If the mo-
tor stops there is no landing place
within reach and the aviator has no
chance"

ODD MONEY IN USE
Quaint Forms Replace Gold
Hoarded for War Needs.
Romanoff Jubilee Postage Stamps
Now Currency in Rusala--Ger-
many Uses Iron Coins---Stone
Medium in Caroline Islands.

London.-Some quaint forms of
money have come into existence dur
ing the war, owing to the shortage
OF gold. England's introduced the one
pound and ten shilling treasury notes,
but other countries have been far more
original in their makeshift arrange
ments at the mints.
In their annual bullion report
Messrs. Samuel Montagu G. Co. tell
how Russia, in order to overcome the
difficulty of providing small change,
has printed the designs of the ten,
fifteen and twenty kopek denomina-
tions of the Romanoff jubilee postage
stamp issue upon thick paper and, by
lettering on the reverse side, has au-
thOrized them to be used as currency
With the same legal tender as silver
subsidiary money.
Iron money was put into circulation
by Germany on October /. The fed.
eral council decided that the issue
should be withdrawn two years after
the cessation of hostilties. A hun
dred million Of five pfennig pieces was
the authorized extent of the issue.
The Caroline islands, which passed
from Spanish to German sovereignty
after the Spanish-American war by
purchase, and now into the possession
Of Great Britain by capture, include
an island called Jap, where stone
money called "fei" Is used az the
medium Of exchange 1t consists Of
large, solid, thick stone wheels, rang.
ing in diameter from one to twelve
feet, having a central hole through
which pole can be inserted so as to
convert the mass into currency"
The value represented by the stone
increases with its size, and the lime
stone of which the "fei" is composed
must be of fine white grain to be con.
sidered good delivery. Yet there
seems to be no real necessity for de-
livery at all, for it is quite customary
to earmark. the money, as it were, and
leave it in it's old position outside the
first owners hut-an excellent provl-
sion considering the bulkiness of the
material.
The disappearance of small metal.
lie currency in Mexico owing to the
amount of paper money put into cir.
culation during the military struggle
for th0 presidency of the republic
caused various expedients to be
adopted. Tramcar tickets have been
used for small change and cardboard

in size, good for five to ten and TWEEN.

With regard to the output of gold
in 1915, the report says that in view
Of the improved output from the
Transvaal and other African districts
the worlds production Is likely to be
about e9S,O00,000 >, ($490, 600 ,O00),
About two-thirds of the worlds gold
supplies are derived annually from the
British empire. and, roughly, 100000,
900 ($3O0, 000.0O0) thus is added auto
matically to the gold resources of the
empire.
