SCENE IMA USTRIAN STRONGHOLD TO RUSSIANS - I j| t - iPIP*II^JIS&iM^^MW!IIMimMWiSBMMfcJMPIBWWMB«S«F.^., vg tji'^^H A SCEN€ DUfclNO TME Above is shown a scene in Frzeniysl, the great Ausiriau stronghold which fell to the Russians after a siege lasting more than six months. The end ing of the long siege is considered of great importance. It gives to Russia control of virtually all of Eastern Gallcia and releases the Russian army which has been besieging the city for service elsewhere. Przeinysl fell with honor, the British press concedes, for it withstood the onslaught longr than any place during the war. the investment haviug begun about September H», something more than six months ago. The duration of the siege, compared with the length of time it took the Germans to capture such strongholds at Liege. Namur and Antwerp, was due to two causes, one being the desire of the ttusoians to keep the loss of life among the besieging army at a minimum, the other to the lack of great guus, which the Germaus had in Belgium. PACIFIED INDIANS DINE wm scon CMtlnurd From Drat Pact. ! through a Navajo interpreter. It was j in the evening and 1 just asked them , how they were. I tola them I did not I feel very well and did not want to talk to them until the next day. They helped us kill a beef. and we gave them a good ineal. the first they had had for weeks. They were poorly cia i and we gave them some blankets. \ Posey and his men did not have any weapons but 1 have reason to suspect' that they had hidden them in the rocks near by. "The next day Polk and Hatch and about 25 others came in to see me. 1 asked them to tell me their troubles. They said the cowboys had come in the day light on horseback and surroun led them, shot their children and wounded a squaw. They said they didn't like the cowboys. It seemed they ha 1 pre viously had troubles with the cowboys. ' 'Then I told them some of mv troubles. I told them I didn't think they would like to have their children chased by soldiers and cowboys all over the mountains and killed. I" told them that I wouldn't like to have my chil dren treated that way and that I would be glad' to do anything I could to stop it. I didn't try to push matters with them. I told the agents to see that they had provisions and blankets for the rest of their people and for their squaws and children. 1 told them that after they had thought matters over I wanted them to tell me what they wanted to do about it. They talked to gether and then said thev wanted to do just what I wanted them to do. "Then we sat down in a circle and I said: 'The marshal wants you and you and you,' indicating Posey, Polk. Hatch and Posey's boy. 'to go with him to Salt Lake. The rest of you can go back to your people and go* to the reservation with the agents. Is that all right?' They said it was and further they said that if I said so thev woulii all come to Salt Lake. "Perfectly Harmless Now" '' Then we broke camp anil all rode ponies back into Bluff. We rode ahead and let the Indians "follow us. They have never been ironed or shackle I. never even led to believe they are pris oners. They never tried fo'get away. Why, I don't believe we could get rid of them if we tried. At night they have slept together and nobody has stood guard over them. "They are perfectly harmless now. All the Indians are" satisfied. The whites are over their scare and there will be no more trouble from this band of Indians. These Indians are just easy to alarm and sometimes hard to appease. They had worked themselves up to a pitch where they were getting very dangerous. They were attempting to get a large band of Navajos to join them in an outbreak. Where they were camped in the wild, broken country near the grand can yon they would have been mighty hard to dislodge. It would have taken a large force of cavalry, two regiments probably, to subdue them, and it would have cost the government $25,000 just to get the soldiers in here." None of the four Indians talks Eng lish. Through an interpreter Tse-Ne- Gat, or Hatch, said he was not guilty of any crime. When asked about the Mexican he is accnsed of killing, he said: "The Mexican was my friend. We camped together. I did'not. kill him. Why should I kill my friend?" TWO HURT JX AUTO CRASH Machine Collides With Pole and Then Goes Over Embankment While attempting to pass another au tomobile on the Market street bridge, John Gallagher, 1511' North Sixth street, and George Colemafa, 631 Boas street, were seriously injured when the machine collided with a telegraph pole at Island Park last night. The auto mobile is owned by lialiagher, who, it is said, lost control of it. Both the young men were picked up in an unconscious condition by a passing autoist and taken to the Har risburg hospital. Gallagher is suffering from a fractured jaw. a deep gash above the right eye and bruises about the body. Coleman's injuries consist of a broken nose, deep lacerations of the forehead and bruises about the body. He was later sent to his home. HAKRISBTOG STAR-INDEPENDENT. 'WEDNESDAY EVENING.

HUSH'S COMET BEING WATCHED BY ASTRONOMERS M W. Jacobs, Jr.. Tells Natural His tory Section Circumstance of Dis covery of Heavenly Body Which Is Now N earing the Earth The circumstances of the discovery of Mellish 'b comet, now being watched by astronomers with their telescopes in the early morning hours, were related last night by M. W. Jacobs, Jr., at the monthly meeting of the astronomical section of the Natural History Society in the Willard school building. He said in part: f ".Mr. Meliich, who started as a poor farmer boy in Wisconsin and educated himself in optics and telesco(>e making, was observing the skies about 3 a. m. on the morning of February 9, with a 16-iucb reflecting telescope made by himself, when he noticed a faint, mis ty-looking object in a region of the heavens where no nui"h object appeared on his star chart#. SSuspectiisg it might be a watideriug. visitor he ousorved it till dawn and uTlt being certain it had changed its position, as a comet should do, he observed it again the next morning. Finding then it lnid moved, he telegraphed his discovery at on.'f to the Harvard College observatory, and from there the was flashed to astronomers in all parts of the world. "The comet'is uot visible without a telescope, being roughly 100 million miles distant to-night, and probably will not become bright enough to be «een with the naked eye, as was De iavun's comet last fall. Approximate calculation shows that the comet will be nearest the earth the latter part of June, when it will 'be about SO milHou miles distant. At that time however, it will be observable only in more south erly latitudes than ours." The study of the utars and eoustol iitions was begun last n%ht with a preliminary talk on an easy way to lo cate the principal stars and star groups. Whereabouts of Macedonia in Doubt London.

CLASSIC WAR POBMS Selected by J. Howard Wert NO. 21. THE BATTLE BY SCHILLER, TRANSLATED BY BULWER One of the most vivid portraitures of the horrors of battle is given by the great German writer and scholar Schiller. The best English translation of it, undoubtedly, is that made by Lord Bulwer, a portion of which is here presented. But, able as Bulwer's translation, it partially fails, as, indeed, all translations of sublime thoughts must fail, to give the full grandeur of the German poet's thoughts and imagery. Heavy and solemn, A cloudy column. Through the green plain they marching come Measureless spread, like a table dread, For the wild grim dice of the iron game. I.ooks are bent on the shaking" ground. Hearts beat low with a knelling sound: Swift by the breast that must bear the brunt. Gallops the Major along the front "Halt!" And fettered they stand at the stark command. And the warriors, silent, halt. •» I'roud in the blush of morning glowing, What on the hill-tup shines in flowingt "See you the foeman's banners waving? "We see the foeman's banners waving!" "God be with your children and wife!" Hark to the music—the drum and tife— How they ring through the ranks, which they rouse to the strife! Thrilling they sound, with their glorious tone, 'Thrilling they go through the marrow and bone! Brothers, God grant, when thi* life is o'er. In the life to come that we meet once more! See the smoke, how the lightning is cleaving asunder! Hark! the guns, peal on peal, how they boom in their thunder, From host to host with kindling sound, The shouting signal circles round; Freer already breathes the breath! The war is waging, slaughter raging, And heavy through the reeking pall The iron death-dice fall! Nearer they close —foes upon foes— "Ready!"—from square to square it goes. They kneel as one man from flank to flank. And the fire conies sharp from the foremost rank. Many a soldier to earth is sent, , Many a gap by ball is rent; Over the corpse before springs the hindmost men, That the line may not fail to the fearless van. To the right, and the left, and around and around, Death whirls in its dance on the bloody grounds God's sunlight is quenched in the fiery fight. Over the hosts falls a brooding night! Brothers, God grant, when this life is over, In the life to come we may meet once more. Thd dead men lie bathed in the weltering blood; And the living are blent in the slippery flood, And the feet, as they reeling and sliding go, • Stumble still on the corpses that sleep below. "What! Francis!" —"Give Charlotte my last farewell." As the dying man murmurs, the thunders swell: "I'll give—O God! are their guns so nearf Ho! comrades!—yon volley!— Look sharp to the rear! I'll give thy Charlotte thy last farewell; Sleep soft! where death thickest descendeth in rain. The friend thou forsakest thy side may regain!" Hitherward, thitherward reels the fight; Dark and more darkly day glooms into night. , Brothers, God grant, when this life is o'er, In the life to come that we meet once more! Hark to the hoofs that galloping go! The adjutants flying— The horsemen press hard on the panting foe, Their thunder booms, in dying— r Victory! Terror has seized on the dastards all, And their colors fall! • Victory! Closed is the brunt of the glorious fight! And the day, like a conqueror, bursts on the night. Trumpet and fife swelling choral along, The triumph already sweeps marching'in song. Farewell, fallen brothers; though this life be o'er, There's another, in which we shall meet you once more! 11 TO BE IN PULPIT EASTER The Rev. B. H. Hart Will Laave Fifth Street Church Second Week In April « The Hev. R. H Hart, pastor of the Fifth Street Methodist church, who is to exchange charges with the Rev. Ed win A. PyJes, of the Fine Street Metho dist church, Williamsport, said to-day that it is unlikely that he will leave this city until the second week in April. Roth he and the Rev. Mr. I'yles, he „ said, desire to oceupy their old pulpits on Faster Sunday. They will not change places, therefore, until April 11. Members of the Fifth Street congre gation, although they had proposed taking uir the matter of the appoint ment with Bishop Hurt in an effort to retain the Rev. Mr. Hart as their pas tor for the fifteenth year, could not get' in touch with the bishop to-day and have taken no action. Several hnve expressed satisfaction that, if a change must be made, the selection should have fallen on the Rev. Mr. I'yles, a well known and well-liked minister. The Rev. John Henry Daugherty will probably pi each his farewell sermon at Ridge Avenue church this coming Hun dav, and his successor, the Kev. Wil liam W.
