SAYS AUSTR0-HUNGARIAN
ARMIES HAVE NO HOPES
OF AN EARLY PEACE

BUDAPEST, Feb. 27.-The Austro-
Hungarian armies fighting in the Car
pathians have no delusion or hopes OF
an early peace, says General Koyess
ir an interview with the correspond
cnt of the Poster Lloyd.
The forces received the news that
we had made our enemies d peace Of
fer with gratitude, says General
Kovess. The soldiers said they re-
garded the offer as a sign of desire
on the part of the young ruler OF
Austria-H Hungary to realize by word
and deed the longing of his people for
peace. At the same time, they were
skeptical of the success of the move
from the first.
What made them skeptical? Con-
tact with the enemy. Many psychol :
ogical reasons may be given in supporS
of the theory that the enemy In front
of us does not desire a speedy peace.
when news came to our troops
that the Entente had refused the peace
offer, it was received with perfect in
difference, and caused no surprise. One
cannot speak of disbursement or dis
appointment because the enemy is
constantly attacking, and in the in
cessant struggle the feeling of peace
cannot enter our mems minds. We
shall fight on until victory is won. Al
though the snow in some places is
three meters deep the troops are in
defatigable and show no sign of i'm
paired morale"

ENGLISH WOMEN To
MAKE SACRIFICES

LONDON, Feb. Wealthy and
distinguished women of England are
as cognizant of the sacrifices required
Of them in these days of stress as their
poorer and less fortunate sisters.
Hence they are forced to give up
many pre-war temptations which make
them want to buy things they should
not in the interest of economy. This
temptation turks in motorcars and tax
icabs, in books, flowers. theatre par
ties, pretty dresses-all the pleasant
things of life every woman likes.
Anxious to find out the biggest war
time temptations of leading women,
local society reporter found them all
giving up something for economy sake.
Mrs. John Robertson, formerly
Maud Mosher, an American woman
the wife of the widely known parliam-
entarian said that music was her
greatest temptation. Il want to hear
good music" she said. Il can econ
omize without much trouble in every
thing else. | miss a good concert, Il
recital or the opera more than any
thing else"
Viscountess Cowdray, wife of Count
Cowdray, one of the foremost business
men of England said that her hospital
work kept her so occupied she dldn I
have time to regret the luXuries OF
peace times. Il miss our horses most
of all" she said. I'VE have given UP
all ours on account of the war. For
the twelve motor cars we had before
the war we have one now. but that
means nothing. Only the loss of the
horses counts"
Lady Swaythling, wife of Lord
Swaythling, the banker, said
My greatest temptation was to con-
tinue theatre-going which I am pas
sionately fond of, but l have given 1t
it ND for the war We do not forbid
our children going out if they wish
but we want them to realize that We
have given it up because we think 1t
wrong at this time, and to remember
when they look back upon the war that
we did our little share in trying to
economic and giving up pleasures"
Mrs. Elinor Glyn, who has deserted
Paris to make London her home for
time, said she missed flowers more
than anything else. Il do not buy
flowers now because they are luxury
My other weakness is desire for
fresh table linen every lay, which, of
course, deny myself in wartime"
Mrs. Mary Gaunt, the author and ex-
plorer, who lives a little way out OF
London, says her greatest temptation
is to come into town to visit friends.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Clarence Kelly,
a negro, was shot and instantly killed
on an elevated platform early today
by a police officer, after he had wound
ed two people and terrorized number
of others with long-bladed knife.
Kelly was seated in car with his
feet in the aisle when Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred J. Hohing passed through. Hob.
ing accidentally stumbled over the
negro's feet and the latter attacked
him. despite Hohing's explanation that
it was an accident. AS Kelly struck
at Hohing the latter threw up his
hands to guard himself from the knife
and received c ut across his right
hand.
The ertaged negro then turned on
Mrs. Hohing and wounded her slightly
before he was seized by passengers
and the train crew. When the train
arrived at the Belmont Station. on the
north side. the Hohings left the car
to transfer, and Kelly escaping from
his captors, renewed his attack. A
policeman summoned from the street
below shot and instantly killed the

the streets Adjutant General Frank
Dickson of Illinois, who arrived late
last night, said that the troops would
be disposed throughout the city as to
prevent repetition of last nights dis
orders.
General Dickson said that military
rule had not been established and
probably would not be. Mayor Moll-
man of East St. Louis, the adjutant
general said, asked for a declaration
of military rule, and this fact gave
rise to the statement that it actually
had been proclaimed. He said that
the transfer Of military cases to civil
courts involved so many intricacies
that he was reluctant to ask the gov.
ernor to proclaim martial law.
One White Man Killed
Only one white man was killed in
