BLOODLESS BATTLES.
One Campaign Where a British Army
Did Not Lose a Man.
The battle of Futtehpore, one of four
fights in eight days, in the tnidst of a
forced march of 12G miles to the relief
of Lucknow, was as far as the small
British force is concerned absolutely
bloodless, and Ilavelock's classical "or
der of the day" puts the fact on record
In one of the battles against Akbar
Khan in Afghanistan the result was
almost equaly surprising. It was the
punitive expedition of 1842 after the
massacre at Kabul and the horrible re
treat from which only Dr. Brydon es
caped. This battle made up some
what for the frightful disaster, for the
victory could not have been more com
plete.
The Afghans were driven headlong
into the river, and camp, baggage, ar
tillery, horses, standards and arms oi
every kind were captured, together
with abundant ammunition und provi
sions, while Akbar fled. Yet the Brit
ish only had ten killed.
Probably the only bloodless cam
paign ever undertaken by the British
was the Abyssinian expedition against
King Theodore led by Lord Napier oi
Magdala. It was this bloodless war
which gave him his title.
Although the British army consisted
of 10,000 men and although they were
met by the enemy, who put up a brave
fight, and although they stormed Mag
dala, situated on cliffs so steep that it
was said a cat could not climb them,
yet not a life was lost on the British
side.
If the last Ashanti expedition agalnsl
King Preinpeh could be dignified by
the name of a campaign then it must
be added to the list of bloodless wars.
Certainly it cost the life of Prince
Henry oi Battenberg, the husband of
Queen Victoria's youngest daughter
and the father of the queen of Spain,
but of other casualties there were none.

FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE.
His Task Seems a Hopeless One, Yet
He Sticks to the Job.
Every little while you hear somebody
say: "It isn't the expense I mind. It's
the principle of the thing."
United States treasury officials have
found that the country is overrun with
persons who feel just that way. Here
is one case:
Some years ago the crew of a gov
ernment revenue cutter gave an enter
tainment of some sort, and, according
to custom, assessed the cost of the
affair among those aboard. Each man's
share was taken from his pay. One
young man was not in sympathy with
some feature of the entertainment and
objected to having to pay his share. It
cost him only 30 cents, but it was the
principle of the thing.
lie began to write to the assistant
secretary of the treasury, who had
charge of the revenue cutter service,
and demand justice.
That was years ago and the man has
averaged about two letters a week ever
since. He numbers his letters, and the
last one was numbered seven hundred
and something.
Two or three years ago he resigned
from the revenue cutter service and is
now living In New York, but he is still
after his 30 cents and the establish
ment of a groat principle.
When Charles Dewey Hilles was an
assistant secretary of the treasury he
sent the man his personal check for 30
cents in the hope that It would end the
long correspondence, but it did not.
The man promptly sent back the check,
saying that he did not want the money
btfl justice, and that the 30 cents must
pome from the government itself.
And so the correspondence goes on
with no sign of ever letting up.—Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
The Popular Craze.
"Sir," said the young man, "I want
to marry your daughter."
"You do, eh? What have you got to
offer?"
"Myself, which includes a fair edu

ble appearance, a modest salary and a
Btrong desire to come into your office
and get useful."
The older man shook his head.
"Not enough. Times are too hard. 1
can't afford a wedding."
The young man smiled.
"Now for my trump card," he said.
'Everybody is eloping. We will elope

The old man caught his hand.

KUEPFERLE, SPY,
ENDS LIFE IN CELL
New Yorker on Trial In London
Admits His Guilt.
CLAIMED TO BE U.S. CITIZEN
Commits Suicide In Prison, Leaving
Message on Slate, Saying He Could
Stand Strain No Longer and Dreaded
Going to Gallows Instead of Being
Shot.
The suicide in his cell of Anton
Kuepferle, the New Yorker charged In
London with being a German spy, was
not the only dramatic incident in the
man's brief connection with the war.
His capture was almost more so.
Kuepferle was in England only two
days before he was arrested as a spy.
Yet In that short time he had succeed
ed in discovering the actual where
abouts of the British fleet and had
ent the information to Germany.
Still another dramatic circumstance
is that this capable spy was simple
•nough to carry with him all his pa
pers and letters, showing completely
his work and his connections. It is
■aid that letters seized with him are
such as would assure an unpleasant
welcome for a number of persons were
they to visit England.
Used His Silk Scarf.
Kuepferle was in Brixton jail, Lon
don, the same prison as the one in
which Mrs. Maybrick served part of
her life term. His trial was 011 at the
Old Bailey. He committed suicide by
hanging himself with his silk necktie
from a bar of the ventilator in his cell.
Apparently his last act before end
ing his life was to write a message on
his cell slate confessing his guilt, ad
mitting that he had had a fair trial
and adding to the mystery of his iden
tity. His note was:
To "Whom It May Concern —My name ia
Kuepferle, and I was born in Rastatt. in
Baden. I am a soldier with a rank I do
not desire to mention. I can say I have
had a fair trial in the United Kingdom,
but I am unable longer to stand the strain,
and I take the law in my own hands. I
have fought many a battle, and death is
the only savior for me. I would prefer
death by shooting, but I do not wish to
ascend the scaffold as there the prisoner
drew a Masonic sign), and I hope the Al
mighty Architect of this universe will lead
me in the unknown land. I am not dying
as a spy, but as a soldier. I stood my
fate as a man, but I cannot be a liar and
perjure myself. I ask you kindly that
my uncle, Ambrose Droll of Rastatt, be
notified of my death. I desire that all my
estate go to him. What I have done was
for my country. I express my thanks, and
may the Lord bless you all. Yours, etc.,
KUEPFERLE.
Kuepferle arrived in Liverpool on
Feb. 14. He showed a passport signed
by Secretary of State William J. Bry
an, Issued ten days prior to his sailing
from New York. In writing the let
ter which resulted in his arrest he
gave his home address as 1665 De
K&lb avenue, Brooklyn. He represent
ed himself to be a woolen merchant.
From Liverpool he went to Dublin and
then to London, where he was arrest
ed on Feb. 16.
Sent Information to Germany.
He was charged with writing a let
ter to an address in a neutral country
In Europe, giving valuable facts re
garding British naval and military dis
positions. It was asserted that, while
the letter appeared on its face to be
en innocent commercial communica
tion, it was found to be interlined in
Invisible ink with military information
written in the German language.
Three letters were seized in the mail,
ill of them containing, the British at
torney general said during the trial,
Information which was absolutely ac
curate and would have been of the ut
most value to Britain's foes. In Kuep
ferle's baggage was found the remains
I >f the lemons the juice of which he
used for invisible ink; also the pen he
used.
It appears that Kuepferle made ev
ery effort to get a trial by court mar
tial, knowing that if sentenced to death
by a military court he would be shot,
whereas a Civil court's .sentence would
mean death by hanging. It is said
that after a bearing in camera Kuep
ferle realized the hopelessness of his
position and preferred suicide to the
gallows.
Was In Observation Cell.
Kuepferle was in a special observa
tion cell in Brixton prison—that is, a
ehamber about sixteen feet by sixteen
feet, giving ample air space for the
presence of two guards as well as the
prisoner and having two doors with
peep holes so arranged that the occu
pant is practically always in sight of
the warden in the corridor outside.
The ventilator is high in the wall, but
can be reached by means of the small
table in the cell.
In some interval when Kuepferle
happened to be left alone he seized
the opportunity to slip his silk scarf
round his neck and one of the ven
tilator bars. His body was still warm
when he was found, but he could not
be revived.
When the court met in the Old
Bailey to continue the trial the lord
chief Justice of England and two oth
er Justices took their seats on the
bench In their scarlet and ermine
robes. But the dock was empty. A
pasp of sensation passed through the

Austro-Germans Have Regained Much
of Lost Territory—Austrians Con
tinue to Give Way Before Advanc
ing Italians; Five Army Corps Will
Defend Trieste From Invaders—Ger
man Crown Prince Bombed.
London, June 4. —Driven out ol
Przsmysl, the former Austrian for
tress in Galicia, the Russians will
form a new line to the eastward ol
their present positions and according
to indications this line will begin
6omewhere near the junction of the
Vistula and the San and extend south
and east of Jaroslaw. It will leave
the San at that point and follow the
line of the Wisznia river, running
southeast and northwest toward the
Dniester.
It will then be in a position to at
tempt the defense of Lemberg and
the two lines of railroad leading from
the Russian bases.
Przemysl was not a formal surren
der as was the case March 22 when
the Austrian garrison, after six
months' defense, hoisted the white
flag. The greater part of the Rus
sian garrison managed to slip away
over the railroad to Lemberg. They
were able to take some heavy guns,
many machine guns and considerable
munitions of war.
Much was left, behind, however.
Many prisoners have been taken and
the enormous guns of the fortresses
and some supplies remain behind.
The official dispatches from Vienna
and Berlin say they have not yet had
time to inventory their booty. It will
be nothing like the 120,000 men taken
by the Russians in March, it is re
ported.
Military experts in London have
foreseen the fall of Przemysl ever
sinco it was apparent that the Ger
man and Austrian thrust through
Galicia was going to strike home. Prz
emysl is not a safe salient in a do
fense line, however strong it may be
as an isolated fortress.
The tactics of the new besiegers
were exactly opposite to those of the
Russians when the positions were re
versed. The first siege was conducted
with regard to human life; this sec
ond siege lias been conducted along
lines generally pursued in the east—
an absolute disregard of human life
—charges in close formation in the
face of fire from machine guns and
rifles, all covered by the terrific fire
of the heavy Austro-German guns.
Dispatches say that both Berlin and
Vienna are celebrating the victory
and some military observers do not
blame ihem, regarding the feat as one
of the most striking of the entire war.
In the celebrations it is said the gov
ernment announced the victory with
huge hand bills whereupon the capi
tals hung out German, Austrian and
Turkish flags.
Austrians Abandon Positions.
Rome, June 4. —The Italian troops
which entered the Trentino from its
eastern border are exerting such pres
sure on the Austrians that the latter
are abandoning all their positions in
the Val Fiemme, and the Italians are
now near Predazzo, twenty-seven
miles northeast of Trent.
Possession of this town would seri
ously threaten Bozzano on the single
railroad running south to Trent and
serving as a source of supplies to all
the Austrian garrisons in southern
Tyrol.
The Austrians practically destroyed
the health resort of San Martino di
Astrezza, to the souths; est of the
Cima di Vessana, the dominating
mountain peak which was captured
several days ago by the Italians.
While the artillery duels between
the Italian guns on the right bank of
the Isonzo and the Austrian batteries
of Fort Tolnuzio, just to the rear of
Gradisca, continue it is reported here
that the Austrians have abandoned
the town of Gradisca, which is the
key to the entire frontier position.
The Austrians have concentrated five
army corps in this region to resist the
Italians marching toward Trieste.
Crown Prince's Headquarters Bombed
Paris, June 4. —A squadron of
twenty-nine French aeroplanes flew
over the German lines and raided the
headquarters of the German crown
prince. The men dropped 178 bombi
in all and thousands of arrows were
scattered through the air. The raid
ers were under a furious fire during
their attack, but none of the aero
planes was damaged.
The war office report does not men
tion the locality of the crown prince's
headquarters. They were last spoken
of, however, at a point northeast of
Verdun. Nothing is said about dam
age to the headquarters.
Fighting continues in the district
called the labyrinth southeast of Neu
rille-St. Yaast and some gains are re
corded. Since May 31 the French
have made 800 prisoners in this local
ity. The gains here have been slow
but of dally occurrence and It Is gen
erally felt that important news will
soo n be announced regarding the out
tome of the battle.
NO DISSOLUTION
OF UJ. STEEL
Court Finds Anti-Trust Law Has
Not Been Violated
ALL INJUNCTIONS ARE DENIED
Justices Are Unanimous In Vindlca
tion of Great Corporation, But Holo
That Gary Dinners Are Illegal and
Order Them Discontinued—Testi
mony Showed Independent Com
panies Growing Fast.
Trenton, N. J., June 4. —The federa:
court handed down a decision in the
suit of the government for the dissolu
tion of the United States Steel cor
poration in favor of the company. The
company wins at every point.
The court refused to issue any in
junction. The decision holds that the
corporation should not be dissolved.
It holds that the foreign trade of the
corporation is not a violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
It holds that certain price fixing
agreements which followed the Gary
dinners, but which stopped before the
bill was filed, have been unlawful.
It allows the government to move
to retain jurisdiction of the bill if
such price-fixing practices are re
newed, but suggests that such mat
ters may now be controlled by the
new federal trade commission.
The above are the important points
in the decision which was handed
down by Judge Buffington. The de
cision contains 179 pages of typewrit
ten matter. The court called the case
a proceeding under the Sherman anti
trust law, "largely one of business
facts."
The opinion is largely a discussion
of facts 0:1 the question of whether
the steel corporation monopolized the
steel trade or dealt unfairly with com
petitors or purchasers. The opinion
declares that all the trust cases that
have been determined settle down to
this: That only such combinations are
within the Sherman law as by reason
of the intent of these forming them
in the inherent nature of their con
templated acts wrong the public by
unduly restricting competition or un
duly obstructing the course of trade.
In answer to the questions which
the court was to determine with re
spect to whether when the suit was
filed the steel company was unduly re
stricting competition or obstructing
trade in the home market the decision
holds that the proofs show that when
the bill was filed the company's, com
petitors were doing 60 per cent of the
country's steel and iron business.
On this question the opinion says:
"The field of business enterprise in
the steel business is as open to and
being as fully filled by the competi
tors of the steel corporation as it is
by that company."
Points brought out in the decision
were :
In the ten years since the steel cor
poration was formed if has increased
its business about 40 per cent. Nine
great competing steel companies have
increased theirs more, the lowest on"
63 per cent, the highest 3,709 per
cent.
With the competition of the Erie
canal Lake Superior ores can be
brought cheaper to New York harbor
than to Pittsburgh. This means blast
furnaces on New York harbor waters.
On the basis of the actual iron
units in ore Cuban ores can be de
livered in Philadelphia at half the
cost of Lake Superior.
Facts and figures show that there
is no possibility of Lake Superior ore
monopoly.
Cambria Steel president shows that
United States steel could not put it
out of business.
James R. Garfield, former secretary
of commerce, shows the steel corpora
tion got no freight rebates.
Case Will Go Higher.
Washington, June 4.—The depart
ment of justice received the announce
ment of the decision in the steel cor
poration case with dismay. The case
will, of course, be carried up to the
United States supreme court.
Officials of the department of jus
tice did not hesitate to say that in
their opinion the Sherman anti-trust
law practically will be relegated to
category of a dead letter statute
if the decision handed down by tht
circuit court at Trenton and other
recent decisions in big anti-trust
cases are sustained by the supreme
court.
The suit against the steel corpora
tion was one of the most important
ever brought under the Sherman act.
Department of justice officials contend
that on the outcome of this and other
anti-trust cases which are now pend
ing on appeal will depend the future
success of the enforcement of the
law. They say that if the opinion
handed down at Trenton and others
recently delivered against the govern
ment are sustained the enforcement
of the law in the way which the de
partment of justice deems necessary
in order to obtain practical results
will be almost impossible.
