Gus possibilities. Ambassador Fran
els is keeping in the closest touch
with the situation and all of his re-
ports are transmitted directly TO the
president.
Drive is Expected.

dictate that Germany shortly will at
tempt a drive directly against the
Russian capital.

Russian situation officials are wait

lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ.

man In Louisville, who, several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was pair of his over
shoes from his checkroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his, but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had taken his overshoes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had never no.
