was announced that Transylvania troops
had captured below Ivangorod eight posi
tions with armored casemates, and It was
declared that tho Austrian troops might
consider tho day tho moat glorious In
their life.
"Tho Austrian General Staff must re
member that tho forts at Ivangorod are
constructed practically entirely of brick;
that they by no means answered the nec
essities of modern fortifications and that
In October, 19H, tha enemy's attacks were,
repulsed, not on the line of tho fortified
circuit about tho Btronghold, but on the

Some prisoners In Sing Sing wear loud

Prisoners are allowed to talk talk out

Prisoners are allowed to attend the fu

Prisoners get so much time out of doors
that they look like other people.
