The movement of the German cen- ter would appear to have been stopped ten miles to the east of Przemysl, and the elimination of the irregularities of the Russian align- ment has, according to Russan mili- tarists, advantageously shortened their front from fifty to fifteen miles. The front line from Gussakow to Voldava previously received;its length and its irregularity becausé of the necessity of including the ring of the Przemysl forts. Then it was fifty miles nerth. Now it is straight line between the two points and not more than fifteen miles long. With this center of the operations marking time, the Ger- mans are described here as being forced back on their exereme left near the lower San and as advancing toward the Dniester fortifications on their right. This gives the situation as a whole the character of a slow pivoting movement, with Przemysl as the center.

Sick and wounded have been re- moved to crossroad villages and hospitals in the country, improvised from former monasteries and con- vents. Although already crowded, beds are added to every hospital in order to increase the base hospitals and all those on the main railway lines ready to care for the newly wounded. In the early months of the war much of the loss of life and limb was due to gangrene resulting from slow transpoftation. A report describing France’'s prep- arations for the new rush of wound- ed and the difficult problems with to which her hospitals already are con- | fronted has been laid before the French Wounded Emergency Fund by Miss Daisy Polk of San Francisco, who recently toured Brittany with Mrs. Partridge Klots, formerly of Bal- timore. TIn the Breton section of Trance, Miss Polk and Mrs. Klots de- livered supplies to 142 hospitals, of personally inspected 92. | These supplies came in a large part from American contributors. Arrangements Primitive. ' French provincial hospitals, Miss Polk found, are poorly equipped as a whole, some as primitive as one would expect in Servia. France failed to an- ticipate the war by storing supplies and cataloguing possible hospitals. Her entire energies for a time were concentrated on the military Surgical instruments, drugs and anti- septics fell far short of the demand. Trained nursés were few. When thousands of wounded began to arrive from the front daily their housing and care had naturally to be done in rough emergency fashion. Conditions have now greatly improved, vet there is not a village in France without its | quota of convalescents. The hospitals of Brittany, Miss Polk found often‘badly furnished and over-crowded. In the village of Quimper she visited a hospital with- out either gas or running water, with- out chair and without the operating equipment. The operating and the of the French hospitals, by improvised oven, ‘When patients arrived after dark wounds were dressed and emer- gency operations done by candle light. In one hospital at Brest the beds o R B, end. | necessary | were merely mattresses on beards. In another a windowless attic, badly ven- tilated through skylights, contained seventy-five beds. There were in all 8,000 beds in Brest, but all patients who could be moved were sent away and a thousand beds added for the spring quota of wounded. Lack of Instrunf¥nts. The shortage in anesthetics and antiseptics has now been overcome, but the lack of instruments is still seriously felt. Miss Polk took a de- scriptive catalogue of instruments on her tour and made notes of the needs {of various hospitals. The need was often filled immediately by the sup- plies distributed. Pillows, hospital clothes, sterilized cotton and bandages from the emergency fund have been godsends. In many places even the cotton had i run out, and dressings of coarse towel were used, washed and used again. | Sterilized absorbent cotton is a rarity {in all the French pospitals, and cotton batting is ordinarily used. Few Trained Nurses. Trained nurses were few in the early part of the war, apart from the Sisters of Mercy, as France has no training system corresponding with the English or American. But Frenchwomen, even of the highest so- ciety, have worked with great devo- tion, doing the most menial tasks, while men and women nurses have been hastily trained to supplement the Sisters. Nune banished by the church separation act have also been called back from exile. The nurses at the village of Broons were recalled i from the island of Jersey. Miss Polk says the cheerfulness and i patience of the French wounded sur- passed belief. They are as easily han- i | dled as children. Miss Polk saw one ; man who has been in- eight hospitals | and undergone five operations in the , last three months, vet he seemed j cheerful and contented, although he | still had some unextracted lead in | his body.

SHOWS COURT HOW HIGH GIRLS KICKED {New York Inspector Testilies in Cabaret Case ! | New York, June 5.—On evidence | supplied by two inspectors from the Bureau of Licenses, Magistrate Kro- | tel fined Herbert R.

It was said in Mallow’s behalf that he had no intention of fighting the conviction. It rests, therefore, with Reisenweber's to make a test of Kro- tel's ruling against the restaurant revue. | Inspector Thomas Tracy, in testi- fying against Wallick's entertainment, added so many comie touches that the audience laughed until Magistrate Krotel threatened to clear the room. Yes, They Moved Their Feet. “Some of the females on the plat- form wore flesh-colored undergar- ments or tights, as they may be called,” said Tracy in precise legal tones. “They were singing, whistling and moving their feet to and fro.” You mean dancing, don’t you?” asked Krotel, and the witness nodded. “A male appeared on the runway, which extended thirty feet or more into the audience,” Tracy continued. ““He was imitating Sverigali. He had an evening suit and bushy whiskers. Then a girl came and he made hyp- notic motions.” Another entertainer, wase dressed like a Chinaman.

Presently, in a dark by-road, Za- morra stopped, took Amita by her hands and demanded a kiss. So they stood together, and in the street of Rio lost seénse of time and space. They did not heed the shadows that slipped along within the shadows. There were only two cries—swiftly smothered. The girl was strong and supple, but though she fought like an eél on a line the binding held, and they carried her away. Her lover was left bound and gagged after the sailors had gone through his pockets. He was found by a gendarme at dawn. iy As the ship began to lift to the swell of the ocean, Anita Duprez, looking very beautiful and dishevelled, stood facing Capt. Suarez and Kirk in the dim-lit cuddy. At last, finding them unmoved, she said despérately: ‘I shall appeal to the men!” “I shall tell them you are my wife!” said Suarez. “Your wife? lieve it!” “All the worse you!” “You must put me ashore at the first port of call—you must!” “Senorita, on the contrary, you will be locked in your cabin.” The girl saw how utterly dependent she, was on these rough seamen for O, they will not be- for life itself, perhaps. to put me asghore?” “Say How much!” silent. rose and fell. | spell. comipletion of our conmtract, even the veriest necessities of life— “How much do you want—how much The two men looked at each other.

Anita’s instinct told her that this weather-worn sailor was her friend— that he would use her courteously, and that he would protect her. He was wild and lawless, rough and ready, at times brutal to the men; but God’s winds had” blown him through all the seas wherever the keels of wandering { traders go, and bred something noble in him. Anita turned slowly at his sugges- tion, and came face to face with Olsen- borg, who was coming below. “Ho-ho!” said the great, blue-eyed Northerner slowly. “Who is der lady? She seem opset!” Kirk went on deck to relieve him, and Olsenborg sat down and stuffed beef into his mouth and poured out whisky. His yellow hair shone in the lamplight as he flung his cap on a lock- er in clumsy deference to the girl. As he drank, he looked at her again and met her eyes. “Eh, Captain, what is she doing on the sheep? Et ees not goot!” “Look here, Olsenborg, this lady is my wife. I did not tell you I was get- ting married!” “Oh-ho! your wife looks like eet!” “No! No!” cried Anita. “So, you are a liar! What hat you been paid to do this?” Suarez struck the table. “Mind what you are saying,” said he, “or I shall have to show you who is cap- tain on this ship.” “Vera goot! We will talk of eet an- odder time!"” Then, turning to the girl—“Go to bed, my dear. I see you are very op- set—very opset! I know weemen a leetle!” she The.presénce o.f the‘kidnaped brl on a deep-water ship could only cause {trouble from the very first. The men | who captured her had been well paid, | ever.” “If we have to buy off the whole crew we shall be beggared by this business!” snarled the skipper. All day long the gray clouds had stooped to narrow horizons, scurrying i before an ever-freshening gale. The Jacqueline staggered along, washing through the rising seas and leaning to leeward like a toy boat that a child pulls by a string. Kirk and Olsenborg were on deck. Anita was in the cuddy with Suarez. She made a move to go to her cabin. The Italian caught her wrists, and his face was close to hers. On the quarter-deck Kirk stopped. “Olsenborg! Did you hear any- thing?"” » Both men stepped to the skylight. Olsenborg grinned with appreciation. | “My God! Look!” . . . Kirk leaped down the companion, wrenching back the doors. His hand flashed to his hip. Suarez fell back beyond the table. Anita sank on to the transom lockers—wide-eyed, white and rigid. | __Silent as a bulldog, knife in hand, Kirk sprang straight at Suarez. He {knocked up the Spaniard’s revolver and two bullets smashed the skylight. The vessel rolled Heavily and the men went down. Kirk’s knife rose and {glinted. The captain shrieked—once. |~ Olsenborg was standing in the door- way, his revolver drawn. He put it slowly into his pocket and came for- ward, balancing against the yawn-| ing and sheering of the ship. “Dod is murder, Kirk!" Kirk stared at the corpse, turned on his heel and went on deck without a word. As Olsenborg picked Anita up in his great arms the cold of his dripping oflskins revived her. She stirred and moaned. He put her in her bunk. She opened her eyes and shrank away, putting up her hands. His wet “oily” rustled as he put out a big hand and touched her face. She caught it to her and began to cry. He ran his other hand over her hair and heaving shoulders. “There, Miss Anita! It is all right now! 8o, so!
