ADSTRIANS SEIZE
TARNOW TRENCHES
BY SHARP ASSAULT
From New Positions Press
Attack on Czar's Base in
Galicia in Move to Break
Down Cracow Advance.
VIENNA, Jan. 25.
Austrian iujauUs have driven the Uua-
slang from their trenched eouth of Tar
now, nnd a fierce battle Is raging for
pon---lon of the Gallolan city.
lUistlan forces hold Tarnow, doiplto fu
rious attacks, according to an official
statement Untied here today announcing
the capture of the trenches.
The Auttrlan army of defense In mld
Oallcla has adopted offensive tactics at
several points, the most important of
which is Tarnow, on account of the
strong intrenchtnenbi of the Russians
there and the city's value as a railway
contra.
Tarnow Is ohout 10 miles due west of
Cracow, and marks the Czar's advanced
position In the campaign against Cracow,
It has boen used ns a Itusslan base of
supplies and transportation both In the
t-ra-cow nnd Hungarian opcrntlons.
Itesumptlon of furious aggression on
the part of Austria in this region Indi
cates a determined endeavor to frustrate
further advance on Cracow by beating
back the Ru-nlan forces at a time when
the General Staff haa Its hands full with
the drlvo against Thorn, In North Po
land, and the attempted Invasion of Tran
flVfanln. "Artillery battles and skirmishes continue
at points on both the Qnllclan and Polish
fronts, the official statement adds, and
in the Carpathians the Russians have lost
several trenches south of the passes.
Official statement also Is made that the
Russians aro working with a big force
on their third lino of defenses, eastward
of Gorllce (In Qallcla, midway between
Cracow and Przemysl) and are surround
ing It with wire entanglements.
Their first line Is weakly manned and
gives the Impression that the Russians
at this Important point of the Galicia
front nro thinking only of acting on the
defensive.
Some kilometres in front of the Aus
trian artillery line well-built Infantry
positions extend to the palace grounds
of Gorllce.
Strategists here consider that the ter
mination of the campaign Is In sight, and
also forecast the abandonment of the
Frzemysl siege In view of developments
both In northern nnd southern Poland,
which, from now on. It Is thought, will
monopolize Ruwlan attention.
SAILING OF BIG ZEPPELINS
FORECASTS ANOTHER RAID
Huge Airships Depart Secretly for
Belgian Base.
GENEVA, Jan. 23.
Two of Germany's biggest and newest
Zeppelins sailed secretly from Frled
rlchrfhafen Inst night for a German base
In Belgium. It Is believed that they will
make a spectacular raid on the Kaiser's
birthday, Wednesday.
The new dirigibles are 86 feet longer
than the old airships, and each Is
equipped with n special platform on which
hydroaeroplane scouts can nllsht, or from
which they can ily. Each Zeppelin Is
equipped with a hydroaoroplane for re
connaissance duty and each cnrrled W
bombs. The airships carry enough fuel
to enable them to travel 2W miles without
a atop.

TETROGRAD, Jan. 25.
Development of a new Russian offen

Tho battle centres today aro at Wlncenty
now, 10 miles east of Tomaszou, nnd at
a railroad bridge crossing the Plllca on

The Germans are stubbornly resisting the
attempt to force a passage nt this point,
which Is but 30 miles from Lodz.
Ofllclul reportB of the progress of the
Rusrlau drive toward Thorn assert that
the Russians "are in close contact with
the enemy at Klkol."
A recrudescence of nctlvlty Is apparent
In L'ast Prussia, particularly about Gum
blnnen, where the Germans aro taking
the offensive on an nttempt to Hank the
Itusslan troops now Investing Loetzcn.

BIG GERMAN CRUISER
LOST IN FAST FIGHT
Continued from Toice One
vlctlon here that Germany's losses In
jesterday's North Sea battle were grentcr
than Indicated by the Admiralty's official
stntement. This said thecrulser Blucchcr
had been sunk and two other cruisers In
jured, but that these two got away safely.
Dutch reports said a crippled cruiser,
apparently of the type of th Strassburg
or the armored cruiser Roon, was pro
ceeding nt half speed toward tho Islnnd
of Borkum' off the mouth of the Ems
River. That the German war craft was
one of the lighter cruisers engaged by
British destroers after tho Dluecher had
been sent to the bottom wns the belief in
naval circles here. Tho Admiralty today
had ni further details of the engagement,
but cxprfsf(d confidence that the Ger
man cnsualltlcs would bo Increased ma
terially. Two more of the German battle cruisers
that attempted the dash toward tho Brit
ish coast are reported to have been badly
pounded by British guns No reports
from German sources of the loss of life
aboard the German cruiser that sought
refuge behind the mine area have been
received here, but the Admiralty Is con
fident that the casualty lists ure large.
So far rus Is known only 123 of the Blue-
chers crew of SS5 were saved.

GERMAN AVIATORS,
DISGUISED IN RAID,
EXECUTED AS SPIES
Wore Enemy's Uniform and
Painted French Tricolor
on Wings of Aeroplanes,
Allies Maintain.
' LONDON. Jan. 25.
That German aero, lanes, engaged in tho
world's first great air battlo over Dun
kirk Friday, bore tho tricolor of Franco
painted on tho underside of their wings,
wns reported In dispatches from the
nrltlsh battle front In Flanders today.
Two of the raiders. It Is said, wero
executed as spies
Aa a further disguise tho 12 German
aviators wore uniforms of Allies' soldiers,
the messages said. It wns because of
this fact that the Germans passed the
Allies' lines nen. Nleuport without de
tection nnd had begun shelling Dunkirk
before they were fired upon.
Nino persons were killed nnd 12 wounded
by tho Germans before British airmen
engaged them and drove them to tho
north. Tho dispatches carry no confir
mation of tho report from Paris that
Benjamin Morel, American Consular
ngent at Duklrlt. was slightly wounded
when a shell partly wrecked tho Ameri
can consulate.
It was reported that the German pilot
and observer, captured when one of the
taubes that raided Dunkirk was shot
down, were Immediately executed. They
wore English nnd French uniforms, the
dispatches stated, and therefore came
within tho definition of a spy laid down
by tho rules of International warfare. The
Press Bureau has no word on tho matter.

HUMBLE HEROINE
OF VOSGES WINS
LEGION OF HONOR
Sister Julia Decorated by
President Poincare in Per
son for Work at Gerbe-
villiers.
i
By fkedehick palmeu
NANCY, Jan. 2G. Others may Interview
kings and presidents, but I rejoice In be
ing tho first American td Interview Sister
Julia "Soeur Julio" who Is more Inter
esting than most of such celebrities. This
sturdy woman of CO Is heroine of all
Franco. IJncli now story about her touches
French Imagination.
President Poincare and a distinguished
company went to Gcrbcvlllcrs, a little
town In tho Vosges near the front, where
she has spent her life, to decorato her
with the Legion of Honor.
No town In Belgium la such a wreck ns
Gcrbevlllers.
Bister Julia and her four sisters re
mained In the midst of Rhcllflrc and
through the conflagration which followed,
nursing1 both the French and German
wounded In one of a dozen houses re
maining Intnct.
I found here there, her village sim
plicity unchanged by fame, looklnu aftor
tho sick, or returning rcfugfrs. When I
observed that she was not wearing hen
decoration Bhc said:
"No; this Is my working dress. I havo
too much work to do to put on any uni
form. So I keep my decoration In a box
In my burenu drawer.
"When Monslou' Polncnlre brought It to
mo I could not believe such a llttlo man
could be President until they told me ho
really wns."
And Sister Julia laughed heartily at her
mistake, for Sister Julia who won the
heart of Franco Is not n solemn person.
Through nil of her ordeals she kept
cheerful.
"Another mnn," she wont on, "Monsieur
de de ah, that Is, Doschanol, came with
Monsieur Poincare. He Is president of
something or other In Paris."
Sister Julia was referring to the presi
dent of tho Senate
If anyono suggests to Sister Julia that
they will make a great ado nbout hoil
when sho goes to Paris, she shakes her
head and says:
"My place Is not making tours In uni
form, but hero In my beloved Gerbvlllcrn,
which nil has to bo rebuilt, looking nfter
tho women nnd children."
As those who have received her kindly
mMstratlons extol her conduct her slmplo
reply Is: "I only did tho Lords work
when It camo to mo to do It Why should
Presidents make nn ndo over that?"
All aro welcome to a chair In Sister
Julia's sitting room and sho Is glad to
talk to them If they do not take hor from
her work too long.

When self-playing pianos first became a

to procure an instrument to render auto

The Pianola became the first successful
