canism expressed in such a position.
"While it cannot be denied that a
lack of enthusiasm for the present
war has been noticeable among citi-
gems Of German birth or descent, yet
it would be unfair to stamp such sem
timent as a proof of their disloyalty
TO this country and to make the Luz
theran church responsible for it. We
must bear in miEd the fact, that it is
a hard thing for human beings, en-
dowed with human feelings, to take
up arms and wage war against their
kindred, and that such lack Of enthu-
siasm cannot be denied to be evident
even in prominent men, who do not
claim any German kinship. Very re-
specially,
REV. C. F. Brammer,
president of Nebraska District Luz
theran church, Hampton, Neb.
REV. C. H. Becker,
Seward, Neb.
REV M. Lehminger,
Plymouth, Neb.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR

The advance Of the Austro-German
forces in eastern Galicia continues un-
interruptedly, the Berlin war office an
nounces. Tarnopol has been captured
and the Germans are nearing Buczacz.
The statement also reports the cap
ture of Stanislau and Nadvorna.
Emperor William watched the Ger
mans reEulse a Russian attack from
the plain of the Sereth, between Tar
nopol and Trembowla, it is officially
announced.
Russian commissioners who re-
stored discipline in the Seventh and
Eighth armies, making possible the
recent Russian offensive in eastern
Galicia, after witnessing the retreat
of the Russians in the face of the
Austro- German attack have sent their
reports to Premiar Kerensky.
They advise that capital punish
ment should be meted out to those
who refuse to risk their lives for their
fatherland and freedom"
The present line of the southwest
ern front is approximately that occu-
pied after General Brusiloff's drive
last summer, except before Tarnopol,
where the enemy succeeded in push
ing further into Russian territory.
The fate of the latter town was vir-
tually decided with the Germans hold
ing the suburb just across the Sereth
river, within easy gun range.
Russian women have laid down their
lives on the battlefield of democracy
Against the reports of traitorous re-
treat of some of the Russian male d.
visions before the Austro- -GermauB
came word of how the women's 'T<e-
gion of Death" on the Wilma front
fought and died in repulsing an eDH'ny
attack.
For the first time in the history of
the great world war casualty reports
chronicled the death and injury of wo-
men in the trenches.
Five women of the Legion of
death" were killed and wounded in
this first engagement in which they
were called upon to resist with arms
the invasion of their country.
German airplanes made a raid on
Paris. Two bombs were dropped on
the capital. The opinion is hold that
the raid was made with the object of
testing the possibility Of a suecessfu
German attack in force, similar to the
recent raids made on London.
The British cruiser Ariadne has
been torpedoed and sunk, with loss
of thirty-eight of those aboard, the
admiralty announced.
The vessel, which was of 11,000
tons, carried a. crew of 677 officers
and men.
Whether more than thirty-eight of
these lost their lives in the disaster
was not made known in the admiralty
announcement.
The scene of the sinking also was
not disclosed.

Snake Bites In India.

Ind1as annual loss of over 10000
lives from snake bite has forced the
production of an antidOte serum. The
Parel laboratory, Bombay, keeps a sup,
ply Of cobras from which venom is ex,
tracted every ten days. The snakes
are fOrcibly fed with egg flip through q
tube. The venom is dried over lime
and then dissolved in a salt solution
Increasing doses are injected In horse
until at the end Of two years the ami,
NAL can stand a dose 200 times the
original one and is quite immune from
the cobra poison. The serum from the
blood of this particular horse is an
antidOte and is absolutely effective II
injected in time. Many lives have
been saved by its use. However, each
bite requires an antidote made from
the venom Of the same sort Of snake
that inflicted the bite.
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1917-08-18

will be in fifteen episodes of two reels
each.
The production is in the capable
hands of Stuart Patton, whose greatest
claim to distinction Is the tremendous
special feature, 100000 Leagues Under
the Sea-" which broke all records at
the Broadway theatre, New York. Pa
ton will have as his star Ben Wilson,
one of the most popular leading men
on the screen, with scores of successes
to his credit. In the new serial he has
the role of John Shirley, student of
criminology, who is called upon to solve
the mystery of a series of murders, all
Of which are committed in the same
way, by the Japanese death punch"
delivered just over the heart, and in
all of which the only clue is a voice
over a disconnected wire. The role
fits Wilson to a ct"
The leading lady will be Neva Ger
Der, one of the prettiest of screen ac-
tresses, who has been appearing with
great success on the Universal pro-
gram. She is more than a pretty girl,
for she is an accomplished actress as
well. Prominent all through the serial
are Howard Champion and Joe Girard,
both of whom have roles in 10000
Leagues Under the Sea-" When the
first episode is run, it will be seen
that the Universal has struck twelve
again.

How Peter AIexief Was
Saved From Siberia
By PAUL VRONSKY

Il northern province Of Russia
there lived a peasant whose daughter.
Anna, was a very pretty girl. Peter
Alexfef, young farmer, woeed and
won her, and it seemed that a happy
future was before the young couple.
That was before the revolution which
deposed the Car Nicholas, and the
government was keeping a sharp eye
on all persons who were suspected Of
plotting against it. A large force of
secret police-better named spies-was
scattered all over Russia.
l,ot only those who were really so
minded reported to the minister of the
interior at the capital, but if one per-
son had private grudge against an
other there was liability that he would
take revenge by reporting him to the
police as a revOlutiOnist, or what was
then called a nihilist. This was also
true of the spies themselves. If a spy
chose to condemn person he wished
to get rid Of, that person was taken
away and nothing was heard Of him
afterward. He was buried in the con-
vict, mines of Kara.
While Peter and Anna were making
their preparations to be married there
came to the province where they lived
man whose name was Ivan Ivano-
witch. He did not look like a Russian,
for he was dark complexioned, while the
people among whom he had come had
light skins and hair. Ivan had come
from the Crimea, which is a southern
province, where what is called the Med
iterranean race is prevalent. This race
is Of southern blood and used to a hot
climate
Ivan had no visible occupation and
was known to be a government spy.
He met Anna at dance in barn and
conceived a passion for her. Anna.
knowing him to be a spy, dreaded him.
but dared not refuse to dance with
him, fearing that he would take re-
venge upon her.
Ivan, becoming more and more enam-
Ored Of Anna, began to look about for
some act Of Peters which could be
used as evidence against him. This
was shortly before the revolution
whereby the people of Russia wrested
a constitution from the czar, and Pc
ter's neighbors were beginning to plan
for resistance against the government s
despotism. Peter got wind of the In
quiries of Ivan and told his friends
that he feared the spy was planning
| to get him out Of the way that he

night possess EsmseIf Of Anna.

might possess Himself Of Anna.
Meanwhile Anna, not daring to de-
cline the attentions Of Ivan, accepted
invitations from him. One evening the
two were walking together toward An
mas house when Ivan left her. AS he
turned away a citizen tapped him on
the shoulder and asked him to come
