They abandoned their dead and j Wwounded in front of our positions. j r "Farther to the south, of the Pilica j the enemy, under cover of a strong | artillery fire, made several attacks. "Near Lopuschko, tie enemy's infantry, on tine 2nd, approached to within 200 paces of our trenches, but during the following night our counter- j (attacks dislodged them with heavy! losses from the entrenchments wi:ich | they had constructed and which we rendered useless.

THIRTY THOUSAND [ MADE PRISONERS AUSTRIAN'S CLAIM GREAT SPOIL IN GALICIA. Capture Strongly Fortified Position Between Vistula and Main Ridere | of the Carpathians. ' Vienna, May 4. (via London).? j Tarty thousand Russian soldiers, 22 ; cannon and 64 machine guns were j captured in the battle of western Ga- ! licia, according to an official state ? ... . ! ment given out in Vienna tais alter-j noon. The statement follows: i "German and Austro-Hungarian troops in true comradeship of arms gains a new victory. During the retreat of the Russians after our victorious battle at Limanova, western Galicia, we captured the strongly fortified front of the enemy between the I Vistula ana tne main edge or tne car- \ patl:ians. "In a continued attack the allied' troops, under the eyes of Commander-! in Cibief Archduke Frederick, gained j new successes yesterday and advanc- | ing irresistibly in an esterly direction j forced the Russians to make a hasty j retreat. . "The importance of the total sue- j cess can not yet be approximately es-! timated. The number of prisoners taken so far is 30 000. It is increasing hourly. A great quantity of war ma-1 terial has been captured in numerous Russian positions, including 22 cannon and 64 machine guns. "On tf:e remainder of the tront the | Ludiiuii cm J uuv/iiau5cu. IA. correspondent of 'tibe Neue Freie Presse has sent in the following concerning the battle: "The Austro-Hungarian offensive succeeded witn surprising rapidity, j The Russians occupied naturally: strong positions on the Dunajec and! the* Biala, which had been strength- ; ened witu every imaginable method; of fortifications. They felt themselves j absolutely secure. "After a searching artillery prep- j aration, exceeding in intensity any- j thing which has occurred on ti':e north- j eastern front, the Austrians and irie Hungarians advanced Sunday on ".he southern wing. They stormed at the first attempt the Russian positions along a front of more than 24 miles stretd-ing from the Biala through Gorlice far into the Carpathians, the assault was so fierce that the Russian line broke immediately. Many thou- j sands of prisoners were taken, as well as an inestimable quantity of equipment, supplies, cannon and machine gnns. "At the same time anotner successful advance was carried out oil the northern end. At this point Austrian and Hungarian troops crossed ti e Dunajec in spite of terrific opposition, stormed the Russian positions and took over 1,000 prisoners. "Other brillians successes were reported from the Carpathians." 1 D? THE COTTON BELT. Present Expectations Regarding the Growing- Crop. A New Orleans Dispatch to the New ; ( York Post says: j, Weather conditions were influential' factors in the ootton market this past j week, and most undoubtedly prices J tit/miu liara TrnrlrAH nn fo a much i ' uutv/ " v* w j higher level if it had not been for tf:e satisfied longs taking profits, but ( nevertheless, the winter months ! threatened U~e 11-cent mark. Crop j and weather reports were in favor of the bear element during the better part of the week, but the speculators' ' failed to take advantage of them, while |1 the washouts and overflows in Texas and the improvement in business in j ] this country favored tfae bull element., Reports from Texas claimed that, a1 large percentage of the crop was <Je-' ] stroyed by the heavy rains over that.: State, and owing to the continual rise;! in the staple this land will be replant- j j ed into cotton. Private estimates from f Texas said that t':.e reduction in acre age will onlv be about 7 per cent. Considerable comment was heard 011 t&e way the new crop is shaping up. 1 Briefly stated, the new crop is getting 1 a better start on a large acreage than many people thought possible during the winter months, and the decrease in acreage tf" at one element has been -u predicting ror some monms past ims not yet materialized. Only a few esti mates were made of a reduction of, from 14 to 16 per cent, but the consensus of opinion was tfhat the reduc tion will only be about 10 per cent, if , favorable conditions prevail until the end of the season. There is still some faith among j' some of the cotton people that less | fertilizer will be used fcbis season than j last season; out it musr. De remem-1 bered that fertilizer can be employed liberally after the crop is planted. If the weather remains clear from now on tfce moisture already put into the ground in Texas and Oklahoma will j prove to be beneficial to the farming .1 interest, and may mean providing an- j1 other large yield. 1 ! LIFE IN A SUBMARINE ,4fow the Crew Gets Air Fit to Breathe While Under Water. The commander of a submarine observes what is going on at the surface by means of the periscope, but when : that is submerged he sees nothing. And if he moves his vessel while using the periscope he leaves a white flake on the water, which exposes him to the enemy. However, the periscope is sometimes of a length?about seventeen feet?to give partial safety, as when only the tip shows the boat is unlikely to be damaged by an enemy's tire, although ; if the periscope chances to L?e shot I away it might cause a fatal leak. Also j the submarines can be rammed. The diving rudders are mounted in pairs, one on either side, fore and aft. | with an ordinary vertical rudder at the 1.1+nv.il ftnofiiKj EVi/.h inatiir I set drives a reversible propeller.

Is there any scientific truth in the matter, or is it but a theory?" writes a correspondent, and we answer: Entirely theory.

We can hardly believe that if toothache had been common in Athens Aristophanes would have made no jokes about it. But a classical scholar may pretty safely be defied to cite a single Greek or Latin passage about it. Even Lucretius, when he gets on the subject of teeth in a passage wuere a reicicute uv toothache might be expected, merely refers to the jar given to the teeth by very cold water or by biting a stone in one's bread.?London Chronicle. Reciprocity. "Dear Harold," with sadness she wrote to her former fiance, "as you are probably aware, I am to be married to Mr. Anthony the coming month. I shall therefore appreciate it if yon will burn all the little notes I sent you, assuring you of reciprocity in regard to those you sent me." She immediately received this reply: "Dear Dorothy?I shall certainly comply with your request at once.
