i Russian troops under General

Austro -Germanic armies in the district

General Count Won Bothmer. who has
been holding firm for months under the

manders, is now said to be retreatinp
for the very existence Of his army, and
1t is thought doubtful if he can reach
the positions he had prepared in his

the fall of StuniSlau into the hands of
the advancing Russians. This success
Of the Slavs had the immediate effect
Of throwing a large mass of men on the
flank of the corps commanded by Count
Won B0thmcr, and made his position
practically untcnablc. until the Rus.
slams could be driven out or checked.
Instead of that they have continued
their advance toward Lcmberg from
StaniSlau moving along the Stanislau-
kolomca Lcmberg railroad.
The length Of the front affected by
the retreat of the TPutonic forces un

forty and fifty miles, and it is re

new organization accepts the Tide

same brotherhoods, the business of the
two factions will be transacted sepa-

At the time being no demand on the

in asking for recognition of the or
ganization. The men work under diff

ask for immediate recognition, and
while the men do not know just what
they will ask for in the way of in

they are expected to work these mat

The action of the Tidewater employees
in signing up with the organization

the event of strike it is considered
quite probable that both factions OF

Considerable interest has been man

A DUSKY VERNON CASTLE
BY CHARLES II. HANDY

Don't know bout dat, jedge, but W

After tree or TO mo- dances he went
fur his coat an low an behold hit war
gone. Right dar he done 'scused me of
swipin his coat and had me rested. ;"
Just at this time word came to Judge
Abernethy that the prosecuting witness,
Josephus Green, had arrived in court.
Come forward Jo-seph-us,'' called
Judge Alb, land expound your reasons
for falling to appear when this case was
called
There was slight commotion at the
rear of the crowded courtroom and the
noise of a thud, thud, thud, permeated
the courtroom and from the dusky throng
there emerged an ebony completed"
negro with a wooden leg. AS the negro
stumped up to the judges bench, coatless
and grinning, 1t was worth the price of
a drink to see the look of dismay on the
dingy countenance of the buxom Mrya
and the look of mingled disgust and dis
comfort that overspread the classic
countenance of Benjamin G. Judge Alb
broadly grinned, Sheriff Jack chuckled
audibly, while a wave of merriment
went over the courtroom.
$50 you are the dusky Vernon Castle
that tripped the light fantastic toe with
the perspiring Myra," calculated Judge
Abb" suppose your particular style of
skipping across the floor, has a sort of
dot and carry one effect. Are you a
disciple of Terpschore?'
'Nossah, judge, Use ar Baptis'."
Josephus took the stand and not only
denied point plank the story of Myra
as to the dance, but stated that she had
"beadaciously" entered his humble back
alley dotnicile and had deliberately and
with malice aforethought swiped his
outer garment and thus the upper part
of his tender anatomy was in danger of
being exposed to the "scorching rays of
the MONDAY SUM- or to the biting blasts
of winter.
At this point Benjamin g. withdrew
from the case, and in departing from the
courtroom expressed the hope that the
Judge would exercise his usual clemency
and give Myra the limit The judge as
sured him that Myra would get "her'n'-
and she did.

REPUBLICANS CLAIM CREDIT
During debate on the building pro-
gramme the republicans insisted thu,
they had led the way toward increases
and that the administration was not en-
titled TO all the credit. The time al.
iotted opponents of the big programme
was controlled by Democratic Leader
titchin, who charged the democra f.
with sharp change of front.
Two months ago the democra+s
urged by the administration, were asked
10 vote against the wild, reckless. ex-
travagant appropriations proposed by
the republicans" said Mr. Kitchin az
