Late reports from the Ukraine said
Petlura and Denikine were closing in
on Kieff and apparently were about to
take that important city from the boil
sheviki The Reds claim the capture
of Dubovka, on the lower Volga, and
also announced that Admiral Kolchak
had evacuated Omsk and established
his government at Irkutsk, 1850 miles
further east. Kolchak has issued a
stirring appeal to all loyal Russians
to rejoin the ranks, and his representa-
tives have been granted the privilege
of recruiting in Japan. The Esthoni-
ans had the bolshevik armies in so
tight a hole that the Lenine govern
ment offered to make peace with them.
Trotsky, addressing the Petrograd SOW
let, said the bolsheviki must stand i'm
pregnably in the defense of that city.
The reports that General Cough, the
British commander, was about TO at
tack Petrograd appear to have been
untrue. The Poles also, using tanks
for the first time, whipped the bolshev-
Xxi, capturing the fortified town Of Bob
ruisk and 500 prisoners.

Serbia officially denied the report
of general revolt of the Montene-
grins, but neutral observers who have
arrived in Paris from the Black Noun
tain country declare the Serbs are fast
wiping out the loyal people of Monte
negro and that they can be saved only
by military Intervention by America
and Great Britain. These observers
assert that much of the food Hoover
sent into that country fell into the
hands of the Serbs and that no Monte
negrin can obtain supplies unless he
denounces his own country and swears
allegiance to King Peter of Serbia.

Hungary continues to present the
most annoying problems now before
the peace conference. The Roumanian
occupants of the country so far have
been absolutely defiant of the orders
of the supreme council and are said
to be plundering it in most shame
full way. Finally the exasperated
council last week dispatched to the
Roumanians an ultimatum couched i'm
drastic terms, demanding that they
evacuate Hungary and hand over to
the allies for proper distribution all
the goods they have requisitioned. The
Roumanian diplomatic representatives
in the allied capitals also were sum-
moned by the foreign ministers who
impressed on them the seriousness of
the situation that would arise If their
government should refuse to comply.
The position Of the Roumanians is that
what they call the war between them
and the Hungarians is new affair and
that the allied conference has nothing
to do with ii.
In Budapest they were trying hard
to establish q government that the al
lies would recognize. Friedrich offer
ed to resign in favor of coalition cab
met formed by Heinrich, wholesale
hardware merchant, on certain condi-
tons. All Jews are barred from the
Heinrich ministry, but all other classes
and parties are represented.

And so the promise that Julia had
made Lucy to sound Dan came to
nothing.
Lucy had gone to concert with her

that she had had no success. 1t was
all such an impossible state of affairs,
so tangled up and with so many angles,
and the days were so few now in which
she belonged to herself. Soon would
come the days when she would be Dan S

She and Dan had talked over their pros

Julia Grant was faced with the
problem Of going on with life after
her lover had Tilted her for another
woman. She suffered intensely and
finally went into a hospital to study
nursing. Then the great unexpected
happened and Dan Carson came back
and asked hor a second time to marry
him. Julia. with her heart still sore,
gave him her promise and then dis
covered that she had fallen In love
with another man. DR.. John Norville,
the head surgeon. This realisation
frightened her. and she left the hos
pital and tried to hurry her marriage
to Dan. Imagine her surprise when
she discovered that her younger sister,
Lucy, had fallen in love with Dan.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER HLIv
DUT Dan did not want to break the
- engagement. That fact was quite
evident when Julia spoke to him the
next evening.

Julia nodded.

His face was shaking, his large hands

STE Especially in the class OF IN
dustrial projects is the tendency TO-
ward an increase in the scale OF N
dividuaI operations apparent. In the
Borough of Manhattan, there has been
a great amount of changing of old
houses and stores into modern apart
mnts. In tn suburban districts
around New York City, the building
of small houses has developed to large
promotions. These two items PROB
ably account for the relatively small
average of residentia} projects.
The story of the shortage of houS-
ing facilities, which has made n
large volume of building necessary,
and the story of advancing rents,
which has made building ventures at
tractive to investors, are well Known.
The growth of building activity is
shown in the figures for the several
months. The January 1913, total or
contracts awarded was only 40 per

In spite of the enormous amounts

an indication hat the present volume
of activity will have to continue well
toward the end of the year.

Within the next few weeks it is pro-
phesied that building in this city will
begin with renewed vigor. How true
this prophecy is remains to be seen,
but whether or not building takes a
jump here; in the vicinity about the
city 1t is already growing by leaps
and bounds.
One can not get on o train, trolley
or automobile and travel five miles
or even a mile outside of the city
limits before they will see many new
houses in the course of erection. These
are not cheap houses either, but are
being put up by people who own their
WI homes and not for renting pur-
poses.
New Houses at Woodbridge
A great housing boom has hit
Woodbridge full force. Each week
Gees many new houses started and
