Ambitious Concerted Campaigns on
East Front Called Futile.
PETIIOORAD. June 5. The ambitious
plan of General von Hlndcnburg of
crushing the Itueslans and compelling
them to withdraw to the old borders Is
stilt far from accomplishment.
Of ten Austro-Gorman armies formerly
arrayed on the hno front from the
Plllca to Rumania, one army believed to
be that of General Dankl, from the Nlda
had to be removed and sent to the
Italian border, compelling the Teutnnn in
remain, on the strict defensive in the
Nlda valley.
On the eastern flank of Illmlenburg's
force the armies of Generals Miislugen
nnd Pflauzer sustained hard punishment
at the hands of the Russians, and, In
stead of turning the Ttusjlan Hank or In
vading Podolla, as fondly hoped, remains
respectively on the Pruth and btyond
EtryJ.
Of five armies which were driven
straight at the heart of the Russian posi
tion, one gioup two armies under Mhc
kensen got across the San. Another
group composed of three armies struck
south of Przemysl. but was unable to get
beyond the line stretching toward the
Dniester marshes.
The strength and valor of the Ruulnn
resistance compelled the Teutons to de
vote all their energies to the humbler
task of capturing Przemysl.

Miss Mario Datlett, daughter of Judge
Morris Daltctt, of the Orphans' Court,
was married to C. Randall Penington by
the Itev. Chnrles 8. Hutchinson, rector
of St. Clement's ttptscopal Church, In St.
John's chapel of that church, nth and
Cherry streets, today.
The wedding marked the success of
Ftrenuotii endeavor on the part of bride
nnd bridegroom extending over a period
of more than two years to bring about
Iho wedding In tho face of opposition on
the part of Judge and lira. Dollett that
at times attained a unique degree1 of ro
lentlcssness. Mrs. Dallett at Inst consented to the
match and saw her daughter married.
The girl's father was not present nt the
simple ceremony performed before n few
Intimate friends of tho couple this after
noon. The Judge could not be reached at his
summer home at Wcsttown, near West
Chester, Pn.
The couplo aro well known In Philadel
phia society. Miss Dallett made her de
but several years ago nnd was ono of
tho most popular of tho buds of her sea
son. Penington attended school at tho
Episcopal Academy, was graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania In 1911 nnd
Is at present connected with the broker
age firm of Penington & Colket, with
ofllces nt 15th and Wnlnut streets. He
lives nt 124 South 22d street.
Tho couplo met a llttlo more than two
years ago nnd becamo engaged a short
time later. Judge and Mrs. Dallett Im
mediately refused to consider the match
nnu toroaae tneir aaugntcr even to sen
her fiance.
Nothing was done for a time, until one
Sunday afternoon In December, 1913, Pen
nington met Miss Dallett outside, her
homo at 21 South 21st street, and started
to walk to a nenrby garage, whero Pen
nington's nutomoblla was waiting to carry
them off.
Tho plan went astray, however, when
Judge Dallett dashed from the house.
In negligee, overtook tho pair, upbraided
Pennington and forced his daughter to
return home.
Hut Penington refused to give In. Later
he appeared again outside tho Dallett
house, whistled, and was Joined by his
flnncce. Judge Dallett Interfered again,
and after a violent dlsputo with his
would-be-son-in-law had him arrested.
renlngton was locked up tn the 16th
nnd Locust streets police station on a
charge or disorderly conduct. Later,
after remaining In a cell for hours, tho
matter was patched up and Tenlngton
was released on $300 ball to keep tho
peaco by Magistrate Roonoy.
Slnco that time Penington has persisted
In his attentions. The two saw much ot
each other, but there was no further sug
gestion or a marriage until the romance
culminated In tho wedding today.
Tho wedding party nrrlved at tho
church In four automobiles. Mrs. Dallett
arrived first and knelt, with bowed hend,
nlone, In the rear of tho llttlo chapel of
St. John. She remained there until the
ceremony wnc over Shortly afterward
the bridegroom, accompanied by his
father and mother and four friends,
reached the church in two automobiles.
It was several minutes past tho noon
hour when tho nutomobllc containing
Miss Dallett arrived. She was accom
panied by three young women. Sho wore
a simplo street gown of white, with hat
and shoes to match. A large bouquet of
llllles of the valley was worn on her
corsage.
The ceremony was performed quickly.
Outside tho portal of the iliapcl. as they
left, Penington took his brldo In hli arms
and kissed her. As the wedding party
came from tho chapol Mrs. Penington
embraced her son. Sho did not greet the
bride. Mrs. Dallett nnd tho brldo stop
ped asldo for a moment's conversation,
then Penington took his wife's arm and
they left the church and were quickly
whirled away In his automobile.
The wedding party refused to permit
iiieu mimes 10 oe used. ro explanation
was vouchsafed for tho absence of Judge
Dallett.

Four desperadoes, each armed with a
gun, today held up Thomas J. Lane, pay
master for Thomas J. Median & Sons,
and after taking S5 from him, escaped In
an automobile.
The robbery occurred Bhortly before
noon on Limekiln pike, between Dresner
and Fltzwntertown, about n mile from
Fort Washington. The highwaymen ob
tained the 165 from n bag which Lane was
carrying, but neglected larger sums ot
money which wore roncealed In the pay
master's pockets.
Mr. Lane's Arm are proprietors of ono
of the largest nurseries In tho world, nnd
ho Is In charge of the payroll of the en

After leaving his home In Dreshcr, the
paymaster made his weekly visit to tho

Lane had previously told Mltsho that
In the event of a hold-up ho should whip
up the horses nnd attempt to escapo tho

tho bandits soon surrounded tho buggy
and mndo their escape Impossible.
After warning tho driver nnd paymaster
that any attempt to summon nld would

They drove toward Philadelphia. The

Ington. The latter notified tho detective
bureau of this city and a thorough
senrch for the men Is in progress. It
had been previously reported that Thomas
J. Meehan, head of the firm, had been

final negotiations necessary to bring an
end to the fighting.
Germany's view, unofficially expressed.
Is that she has won. By this she means
that she has stopped all her antagonists,
ha demonstrated that she cannot be
crushed nnd her battle lines for the most
part on foreign soli cannot be thrown
back. She feels that she is fighting, more
than anything else, for freedom of com
merce, and It is her view that America,
if drawn into the struggle, would be
drawn by that same desire freedom of
the seas. The warring notions being at.
a standstill, sne tninKa negotiations may
soon be under way and there arises the
need for a mediator.
