It implies sympathy, enthusiasm, devotion and a jealous regard for the honor of the body as a whole, according to Web ster’s International Dictionary.

From it one can gain a very good idea of what the various armies have accom plished in the bloodiest war the world has ever knewn.

German chancellor, and Gottlieb Von Jagow, German foreign minister, have conferred at Vienna with the Austrian foreign minister, and the chancellor has conferred also with Emperor Fran* cis Joseph. / According .to unofficial reports the Turambassador at Rome has asked for passports. Galicia still remains the scene of the most important military operations. Tee stubborn resistance which for sev- eral days has been .offered by the Russian forces southeast of Lenfberg after their retreat from the Galician Capital, has been overcome after a protracted and severe engagement.The Austrian forces have penetrated the Russian main positions, according to Vienna, and thrown the Slavs back. The invading forces are said to be retreating along this entire front, and also to be retiring before the advanc ing Austra-German troops north of Zolkiew and Rawa Ruska. Berlin says the Teutonic forces have crossed the Dniester north of Halicz and have driven the Russians some miles into the hills.. In that section the heights of the Meuse known as the Calonne trench, a violent engagement has been in pro gress. By the use of illuminating liquid and asphyviating gas, the Germans reached their former first line, only ac cording to Paris, to be repulsed with heavy losses. The Germsns claim that attempts by the allies on the heights of the Meuse to recapture artillery have been re pulsed, and that a ridge of hills direct ly south of Les Eparges has fallen into German hands. The Italians are developing their operations along the Isonxo front. An Austrian submarine has torpedoed and sunk an Italian torpedo boat in the Adriatic. years old.
