The hymn "Abide with Ne" was the

by way Of the Black Sea would follow
these successes, thus threatening Hun
gary on three sides.
General Brusiloif has the alternative
OF Following UP his victories in Buko-
wilma with an immediate drive through
the Carpathians against the plains OF
Hungary or Of seeking TO influence the
Balkan situation through Rumanian
participation in the war The majority
OF military critics here believe that
pressure will be brought TO bear en- the
Russian commander to follow the latter
course.
1000 Prisoners Taken.
To-days Russian official statement
says;
"On account of the fact that in many
places the Austro- Hungarian and Aus
tro-German troops withdrew rapidly
tcfore the blows Of our Southern army
the number of prisoners has increased
only very little. The total now amounts
to about ZOO officers and $4,000 men.

CUMMINGS AGAIN IN YARD
Destroyer Breaks Down for Fourth
Time in Three Months.

Word was received at the navy yard
Yesterday to prepare to receive. one OF
the dostroyers, and much TO the sur
prise of the officers the Cummings was
named as the vessel. II has been re
paired three times in as many months.
About three weeks ago officers of the
industrial division pronounced the
Cummings ready for sea and orders
were given TO get under way. Just as
the destroyer's engines started to re-
vove something gave way. An exam
ination showed that the feed heater
cracked and the start was delayed a
week The broken heater was fixed so
that il would work, and the Cummings
left to join the Atlantic feet.
The feed heater again cracked, while
the Cummings was with the destroyer
division. How serious was the break
officers Of the yard have not been in
