The Russians promptly seized their ad- vantage amid the hurricane and snow to charge into the chief eastern de- fence of Przemysl, only three miles from the heart of the fortress.

LONDON, March 16. — "Our pro- gress in equipping the new armies has been seriously hampered by tbe failure to obtain sufficient labor and the necessary plant for the supply of war material," said Lord Kitchener, Secretary for War, in the House ef Lords last evening. Lord Kitchener held excessive drinking partly to blame for this condition, whicla, he said, was caus- ing him "serious anxiety." He urged the passing of a bill au- thorizing the Government to take over factories for the production of war material, and recommended that men who had served their country in making this material receive field. medals like the soldiers at the front. "Notwithstanding our great ef- forts," he said, "we have unfortun- ately found that the output of muni- tions of war does not equal our ne- ceesitiesand does not fulfill expecta- tion?. A very large number of our orders have not been completed an„ the dates for which they were prom- ised. "The supply of material for the next two or three months is• causing me very serious anxiety. The enor- mous output which we require to place our troops in -the field thor- oughly .equipaed awl with sueleient ammunition is undoubtedly possible, but can • onlesabe obtained by careful and deliberate organization. We must develop all the resources of the coun- try and enable each competent work- man to utilize in the most useful mann ee possible all hiseenergy in the common object that we all have in view, which is the successfutphosecuie tion of the war to a victoriouaiternia- nation." • • . Referring to the Catedian diefaion the speaker said: ' "They have shown:111dr mettle arh received the warm corcunendatien of Field Marshal Sir !John French for the high spirit and bravery with which they have performed their part."

Edith gave am the impression that her uncle was a very dignified old gentleman, whose ideas concerning the man sbe should marry were that he should walk a clialk line. This ilia not indicate that my chances for pleasing the old man were very good, for, if ever a young- ster was full of Old Nick, I was that youngster, Per centaa, my aunt had been in her youth a society girl, a flirt, fond of horse racing, yachting, and had even been so vicious ase ao epia e cardsefer money. Edina was just the reverse of this; a young woman of reserve and diguitY and, w1th4„0,6ery rellouri Naturally it was essential that I shoold be acceptable to Edith's uncle and that Edith should please my aunt, for neither Edith nor I had any for- tune and had both been brought up in luxury. Edith's uncle was worth $500,- 000 in 6 per cent bonds, arbile my mint tad something more than this In well reined real estate, The problem be- fore me apd my fiancee' was to make her uncle believe that t was a very steady and well behaved young man, and to make my aunt think that Edith was a woman of the world. After a long conference in which va- rious plans were discussed we decided that we would begin with my aunt. I was to introduce Edith to bele and Edith was to put on as much sport', uess as she could, though I had mia givings as to her deceiving my aunt, for it was born in Edith to be dignified, old she had no sympathy whatever with that license wbich pertains to people of the gay world. However, it was arranged that my aunt was to call on my fiancee, after which we three were to pass an evening together at my aunt's house. The evening after this call I went to see Edith and found her In a very dis- tressed state of mind. "Why did you. tell me that Miss Mar- tindale was a woman of the world?" she said. "I commenced soon after she appeared to talk freely and kept it up, while she listened to me without betraying any, sympathy with the ideas I 'expressed, and -she finally areee, evidently very much disgusted with me, and took her departure." "What did ypp say?" "Wile, I began by cracking jokes our forthcoming marriage, say- ing that I hoped when you were out late at poker parties your companions wouldn't have to set you up against the front door and ring the bell." "What did she say to that?" e, "Why, she scowled." "What else did you say?" "I said I had iost $500 on the last rages and expected to make it up at tae meet next week. Then I said. I :leaped you wouldn't feel that you must be tied down to me all the while. You were welcome to flirt with other wom- en, and get yourself talked about all you lik.ed, provided tbere was nothing criminal in it. 'As for me, while 1 toald get on -with one husband, I must have attention from other men.' She looked at mehas 'if she wmild bite my head off and 'whisked away without even saying goodby." "Perhaps it was becatse you said it all instead of doing it. Aunt Kate was probably she -Mead at the bare state- ment, while slidevould not have mind- ed the acts inentioned.". "I am afraid you don't understand yen& aunt. At any rate, I have an- tagonized her, and I think: you'll flied that if you 'Meaty nee she' will not leave you a cent of her money.".„. I went straight to my aunt to hear • what she bad tobay about the matter, - but she locked her tongue and would giva me no satisfaction. I judged, however, thietialie had not been over - pleased with my fiancee. Doubtless Edith had overdone the matter. The next thing to be done was for me to make the acquaintance of Mr. Springer, Edith's wealthy uncle. He wrote Edith that I was to stay with biro at his house and desired her to in- form hire wbat train I would come on, that he.enight send his car to the sta- tion for me Sheapire him the desired information,. andeme bright morning 1 boarded the train, resolved tO make a better itopreeskin an Edith's uncle than se had liztacle on my aunt One thing determlned to guard ageinstathet Was, oveedeingdt. ' I bad not been long on the train when a gentleman asked me if I would make one of four to play whist, Glad to while away the time, I consented, was the partner of the' gentleman who invited nie to play, and the stake, beginning at a quarter a corner, was gradually increased to a dollar. But our antagonists got the idea that I and my partner were a pair of professional gatoblees who were intending to "do" them and Soon retired from the game.
