“CERMAN VICTORIES NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, AN NORTHERN POLAND CLAIMED BY BERLIN (Continued From First Page.)

Przemysl, Friday, March 26, via Petrograd, March 30, 12 noon., and | London 2:35 p. m.—Refusal to credit stories of Russian victories and fhe | progress of Russian arms contributed | largely to the ultimate fall of the | Przemysl fortress, according to the ! opinion of, certain Austrian officers | who went through the siege. The Rus- | sian advance was gradual, and for this reason it would appear that the Aus- | trians overlooked its seriousness. They neglected their opportunities to bring in provisions in quantity when these were presented and later had to pay for this neglect. Austrian soldiers ithin the fortress who spoke of Rus- sian successes were severely dealt with by their superiors.

TOWNS ARE IMMENSE FORMLESS DUSTHEAPS Little Done to Start Life Afresh in Ttalian Region Ruined by Recent Earthquake, (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Rome, March 30.—Although ' over two months have passed since earth- quake wrecked a large portion of the Abruzzi district, comparatively little has been done to start life afresh in the ruined region. The great de- sire ‘of most of the few survivors, however, is to return once more to their native mountains and put to- gether some humble shelter for them- selyes. - At Chapelle, towns which Avezzano and other suffered most severely, nothing strikes the beholder so forcibly the thoroughness of the destruc- tion. The towns are immense, form- less dustheaps. It is easy to under- stand: how the work of rescue in the early days was rendered almost im- possible by the entire lack of ladders, tools or any instruments which could «id in disinterring the innumerable victims The venerable patriot and historian, whose fasci- nating _books on Savonarola and on Machiavelli have been translated into many lauguages, has come forward to suggest that a body of workers, re- sembling those trained for Red Cross work in war, should be thoroughly and scientifically preparea beforehand in order that when these recurrent earthquake tragedies overwhelm one part or another of Italy, they could be sent instantly, armed with every appliance to render assistance would be trebled in value by its promptness. Professor Villari recalls ihat the Japanese, whose land is also constantly threatened by earth- auakes, have a permanent commission for the study of éarthquakes and of the best mode of rebuilding the towns that have suffered and of avolding the censequences of these calamities. Father Alfani, the director of the observatc at Florence in a lecture lately deliv d in Rome, pointed out that recently, in Japan, earthquakes more vViolent than those of Messina or Avezzano had occurred and that, thanks to such studies and precau- tions the loss of life had been infini- tesimal or non-existent. Senator Vil- lari remarks that the cosr of training ond equipping such a body of men it would he considerable, would be as nothing in comparison to the expenditure to which the nation s weii as may be, life and property caused recurrent misfortunes. loss of these the by CLOSING OF RED CROSS ROOMS.

Assurance was received from Secretary A. H. Andrews of the Chamber of Commerce this morning that the stores will be open ‘all day. In view, also, of the fact that the decision of the Mercantile bureau in this city will be supported. While the schedule of closing will not g0 into effect until next Monday, it wopld have been in effect this week had not the legal question caused a delay. At the time the directors and the Mercantile bureau membership ap- proved of the plan of keeping the stores open on Good Friday they had in mind the coming Good Friday and in order to keep the spirit of the de- cision, the merchants will not close. It is possible that some individuals may close their stores at noon, but this, will not be in opposition to the agreement. The ruling of the attor- ney general, however, states that part day closing does not entitle a mer- chant to an exemption under the fif- ty-eight hour law. Letters will be sent out to the members of the Mer- cantile bureau today explaining some of the points invilved in the attorney general's ruling in its relation to the bureau’s schedule.

Lorkowski, casher of a branch of the federal state bank, was shot and probably fatally wounded in what is believed to hav ebeen an attempt to rob the bank yesterday afternoon. George Dimont, a foreigner, pre- sented a Chicago bank hook and de- manded payment on it. Lorkowski's refusal precipitated a fight in which the cashier reached across the coun- ter and struck Dimont on the head just as the latter drew his revolver and fired the bullet entering Lor- kowski’s stomach. Lorkowski and Dimont, who w: also injured, were taken to a hos pital. Another foreigner, nied Dimont, escaped. s who accompa- PASSENGER 0’1‘ CRAMER.
