SUNDAY FUNERALS.
Baltimore Preacher Says Undertak-
ers and Liveryman Have Tried
To Break up Practice.

Baltimore, Md, March 2S.- The
Ministerial Union yesterday bitterly
opposed the holding of funerals on
Sunday. The undertakers and the liv-
erymen came in for censure in the
matter. Rev. DR.. F. T. Little, of
Allnutt Memorial Methodist Protes-
tant Church. said that the cemeteries
are to blame for Sunday funerals.
Both the undertakers and the livery
men have tried to do away with Sun
day funerals, he said, but the ceme-
teries have refused to cooperate.
"Therefore," DR.. Little said, call
the undertakers have been forced to
hold funerals on Sunday because peo-
pie know that if one doesn't another
will. The liverymen. too. have to pro-
tect themselves, for if they refuse to
hire their carriages on Sunday un-
dertakers would not hire them on
week days. 1t is the same with the
ministers. A minister knows that if
he refuses to conduct the services on
Sunday another minister will easily
be found to take his place"

Former Alexandrian Crushed Between
Floor and Top of Lift

Frederick, Md, March 2S-William
H. Griffin. manager Of the c. E. Cline
furniture store here, was almost in
stantly killed at noon yesterday, when
he was caught by the electric eleva-
tor in the store building.
1t is not known how the accident
occurred ,as Mr.. Griffin was alone on
the third floor at the time. When he
was found his body was wedged be-
tween the roof of the elevator and
the floor. 1t is thought he was about
to enter the elevator but started it
before he had stepped within and
that the roof of the elevator caught
him on the head, knocking his down.
The assistance of six men was
necessary to move the elevator SO
that the dead mans body could be
removed.
THE unfortunate Mr.. Griffin was
the oldest son of the late Policeman
James Griffin, and resided in AleXan-
dria up to FIVE Yeas ago, his home
having been at the corner of Prince

RUSSIANS KEEP
UP OFFENSIVE
Making Determined Attacks
Upon Won Hinden-
burg's Lines
BERLIN is CONFIDENT
&,tT'S nSr- 49 y, %EA..
German Officers Believe Advent OF
Will Bring Changed Conditions OIL
East Front.

Berlin, March 2S.-Bent on saw
ing themselves from forced retreat
on a front of more than 100 miles
the Russians are renewing their at
tacks against Won Hindenberg's arm
les with great fury.
The Slavs have suffered no great
er losses since the memorable retreat
from the Dunajec began, nearly a
wear ago. But German officers pointed
out today that it is absolutely ncces-
sary for General Kuropatkin to con-
tinue the attacks or else admit de-
feat.
During Won Hindenburg's great
offensive of last year, he drove the
Russian line down the northern and
eastern slopes of the rise of land,
extending in a curve from Riga to
South of Dvinsk. The German field
marshal halted his drive when the
Cars troops had fallen back to low
land positions, knowing that nature
would come to his aid this spring.
Within few weeks the spring
thaw will set in the northern country,
The Russian trenches in the lowlands
will be flooded and it will be neces-
sarv to withdraw the whole Slav line.
The Germans will suffer somewhat
from the foods, but viii not be fore
ed to give ground to any considerable
degree, For this reason the Russians
are wasting ammunition extravag-
antly in an. effort to seize positions
on higher ground before the spring
freshets begin.
Despite the fury Of the Russian at
tack, the utmost confidence prevails
here, A German officer, writing to
relatives from the Silna sector on
March IS, said that the Russian
craftsmanship was so poor and the
German defenses so we'll constructed
that his battalion, though under
heavy fire all day, lost but tow killed
and seventeen wounded.
Officers report that the Russians
have changed tactics, officers now
charging with their men. In prev.
ious fighting not more than one officer
was captured to every 300 men. The
ratio now averages one officers to sc
men.

Milwaukee, March 2S.-The story
of a panic in Il Milwaukee shell fac
tory, busy on war contracts for the
allies and working day and night. has
just come to light, though the work.
erS had their scare on Thursday night.
The plant was that of the Federal
Pressed Steel Company, where sew
eral hundred men are employed and
the scare started through Il terrific
electrical disturbance in the midst Of
Of blizzard.
Suddenly the thunder broke. forth,
accompanied by brilliant flashes Of
lightning. The men were seized with
terror, and stories of attacks upon
ammunition plants were recalled.
"An aeroplane is attacking tha
plant some one yclled, and the widest
commotion followed. Man dropped
their tools and unfinished shells and
fled for the doorways, wild-eyed and
terror-stricken. Not a man stayed in
the place. They ran into the road and
looked skyward, for signs of the aero
plane and also gazed back to see
what destruction had been accomp-
lshcd
The men were standing in the
storm in a state of indecision, when
more thunder half an nour later

ENTENTE IN CONFERENCE
Economic Question AS
Well as War Problems

Paris, March 29-The conference
of the Entente Allies--the most i'm
portant since the outbreak of the
war-began yesterday morning in the
great salon of the Ministry of Fore
ign Affairs, where many other his
.oiic meetings. Gf 6iPsomatists have
taken place. No previous meeting
there, however, has been of such
grave import or has been attended
by such representation of world
figures in war and diplomacy.
The subject of the first sitting is
the military situation. That is all
which may be said definitely, but it
is probable that General Joffre, Earl
Kitchener, Gen, Sir Douglas Haig,
Lieutenant General Count Cardorna,
General Castelnau and General Ro-
ques, the French War Minister, ad,
dressed the conference.
The entire company took lunch al
the ministry at noon. The afternoon
session was devoted to consideration
of the economic resource of the Allies
At the conference, which is held
around the same table where peace
terms were discussed at the close of
the Spanish American War, the men,
bers are seated, so far as is eXpedi-
ent, in groups according to their re-
spcctive countries.

streets, and fired three shots at Frank
Rudolpo, IS years old. of Fifteenth
