KOENICJSBERG, East Prussia,
April 3. Thousands of persooe
homeless, thousands of buildings
burned to the ground and hundreds
of thousands If not millions of dol
lars' worth of damage don tuch la
the toll of the Russian Invasions of
East Prussia, which culminated re
cently In a raid on the llttla city of
Memel In tha northernmost cornet
of the province.
Hard on tha heela of the most ra-
. cent Invaders, an Associated Presa
correspondent recently toured East
Prussia or that part of It which at
one titse or other had bea held by
tha Russians and had an opportun
ity to sea tha effecta of their for
ward march, and of their retreat as
they were dr'ven back Into their own
country. ,
La a 4 Laid Waal.
From tha Oerman-Russlan border,
which la fifteen miles to the northward
of lemel. to Walla, which la far to the
south, and for mllea Inward from the
curving boundary line, there now Ilea, In
place of a one time prosperous agrtcul
turat section, an almost desolate waste,
punctured here end there with : half
ruined communities.
Uras than seventy-two hours after the
Russians had wrecked the ' town - of
Memel, only to leave It end 171 of their
umber dead when German reinforce
ments errived, the Associated Preaa -cor-j
raapondent reached the Isolated commun
ity to find It a veritable city of fear, only
partly tierdcr.ed by the presence of
strwig military force.
Along every rood within mllea of
Memel were hundreds of wagons full of
futltlree. hurrying with what they bad
keen able to save from their homes be
fore the Invaders, crushing Into the large
centers of population to the acuth end
tha weetward. Their numbers were added
to the 'thousands who earlier had fled
In almllar fashlan end now ere quartered
ell over Germany, until the time may he
rtpe for them to go back to the ruins of
, their homes.
' Baeeeaalon ( Melee.
Along a line of IV) mllea as the crow
files, eed for e distance varying from
five to fifty mllea, inward from the Rus
sian border, there now remains only, a
succession of rtitns. . , ' -.
After painstaking efforta the Seat
Pruaalan authorities have been eble to
estimate Hie number of fugUlvee driven
out at about 000, the number ef horses
taken , at ICC.OM. the number -of tattle at
l&i.ooe. The extent of the property dam
age, however. It Is as yet Impossible even
to guess. That It will run Into the mil
lions is altogether likely. ' t .
These same authorities appear te have
proceded with conservation. Wild tales
et atrocities, which caa be heard on every
hand, have been discounted from first te
last and in many casea have been proved
to be the products of excited imagination.
Careful ' Investigate 'nevertheless has
established beyond much. doubt, accord
ing to German statements, that thousanda
of women and children have been carried
off to Ruaale and that In addition to the
marauding that la petent to the casual
glance, civilians have been 'killed ' and
outraged.
. People All Ret Fled.
Bleak eastern East Prussle today
precenta, net the appearance of Belgium
with it ruined towns, but a euooeaaloa of
devastated towns, all but devoid of In
habitant The extent of the damage
varies only In degree from Sohlrwlndt
the City of the Dead, to Memel, the City
of Fear,
The tour of Kaat Pruaala began at
laaterbarg. which baa felt the Russian
invaalon vlrtueJly not et elk end extended
te Qumblrmcn. which Is ringed about with
, battlefield, where la the rail the Rus
sian Invasion waa) eombatted desperately.
The town bas suffered but negligibly In
comparison with those nearer the border:
Through a waste of partly ruined vll-
lagea the way led to Tilsit, onee held by
the Rusalana under Grand Duke Nicholas,
the Russian commander-in-chief. Even
the enoee bitter anti-Russian, however,
admits that the troops which first came
were eoldlers, not maraudere, and be
haved .themselves.
Caste Shadow Before.
Tha Invasion of Memel had In a meas
ure cast Its shadow before until even In
Tllalt the effects were felt. Hundreds
ef wagons poured Into the city. Tha oc
cupants bad not the slightest Idea of their
ullmate destination. They traveled
blindly, actuated by a terrible feer of
the Russians and the one desire to save
themselves. . ,
Though nominally a elty, Memel le
really a large town, with the one main
street common to towns everywhere. That
street bore the trace of the Ruaalaa In
vasion, for every etore window was
smashed to.
In the place of tha S08 landsturm that
formerly had guarded the plaoa end the
whole region surrounding It there were
thousands of regular troops. The two
hotels were full of offtrere end tha street
warmed with both soldiers and Bailor,
for In the harbor lay cruiser end tor
pedo boats that had been eent hastily
to Memel te bombard the Rueslano as
they retreated.
Awake t Meaalas of War.
A whole army corps, however, would
not have served to celra the towa com
pletely. . Its tnhabltanta had suddenly
been awakened to what the war really
meant. Ita mayor lay In the hospital
desperately 111 from a bayonet wound.
Betweea.600 and N of tha population of
the city and the environs had been car
ried eff by the retreating forcea Shops
were wrecked and pillaged.
Tle scenes of destruction on the way
to Memel had seemed bad enough but
they could aol be placed In the aame
category with conditions te the north
end tii east of the t-tt. The Rusalana
had moved la two eolunie, driving the
lands urm troops before them end little
left behind.
The way led due nortH to N Immerse u.
almost on th Baltic, and only a fw
bundled yard from the Oerman-Rus-staa
border, over which the Rusalana
L4 poured a few days before. The
RUSSIAN MILITARY CUTTER ON VISTULA-It is an ordinary American-made, hunting cabin, motorboat, with a
quick-firing; gun mounted amidship. It is boats of this type which the Russians used against the Germans in the drive on
Warsaw when the kaiser's troops attempted to cross the Vistula on huge rafts.

counts, too cosaacks. followed by elvll

Half a 'hundred Ruaaian prisoners
were concluding the work of burying
their 171 deed fellows when the Asso
ciated press correspondent left Memel.
Choked with Refaee.
' The route Isd beck to Tilsit, still choked
with refugees. Ever and again there
would appear long wagon trains of am
munition and auppllea, bound for some
point along the long fighting line, end
once In a while batteries of artillery
plowing through the deep mud.
A non-commissioned artillery officer,
plodding along toward the hospital in
Tilsit, asked permission to ride and told
the tale of the previous dey'e bottle. His
compsny, celled In an emergency to act
as Infantry and help defend a position
near tha border, had been badly broken
up by what he described ss a villainous
machine gun fire.
"The Ruaslana certainly can ehoot,"
he declared. "I've put In a good many
years aa anartllleryman and don't mind
artillery fire. Neither la Infsntry fire
disconcerting. But deliver me from the
machine . guns. It'a awful. Out of
eighty ilx of us they killed six with bul
lets from a flank fire and eeverely
wounded a lot, more. But we held that
position."

In the place are still there, wandering
about aimlessly, waiting . for the time
when the war will be" over and former

gunfire or dsmage by shelling. The Rus
sians, so the Inhabitants tell, came In.

set fire to It when the German who
drove them out ' approached. In ell of
East Prussia It has only one paratell

Indicating former prosperity, tell the
story f destruction more strikingly even

Much Building in
Streets of Berlin
(Correspondence cf the Associated Press l
BERLIN, April lO.-Forelgners wh-
come to Berlin now are astonished to find
how murh new construction, notwith
standing the war. Is going on in and un
der the streets. The municipality Is
building a subwsy under the principal
north-and-eouth street, and in carrying
out thla scheme It has Just torn away the
chief bridge over the Spree. It is also
putting a four-track tunnel under the fa
mous street Unter den Linden, so that
It shall no longer be Impaired In appear
ance by the sight of street cars crossing
it. Further to the esst another subway
la in course of construction through very
crowded business sections; one of the
two great electrical companies la build
ing It It will connect suburbs In tho
north and northeast with those in the
southeast.
Another Important Improvement haa been
undertaken by the Prussian railway au
thorities the enlargement of the Frlcd-
richtrae station, the principal railway
atatlon In the heart of the city. Here the
enormoue arched roof has been torn away
in order to double the alio of the build
ing. The city of Berlin is engaged In
other work besides those mentioned
above. It la excavating a great harbor
for canal barges on the western side of
the city, efter having opened a new one
to the east of the city only about a year
ago. It la also building a wholesale mar
ket hall, a achool or Industrial art, be
sides about a half-dozen other schools.
Tea and Soda Pop on
Tap at Despard Arms
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
LONDON, April .17.-The "Despard
Arma," the super-saloon founded by the
suffragette leader. Mr. Despard. with a
view to luring young men ond young
women away frpm places smelling of beer
and liquors, has been opened to the public
In one of the laboring districts.
The model house Is situated upstaira.
Inasmuch aa the stairway Is not an
obstacle to customers partsking of tea
and soda pop. It does not resemble very
closely its original, for sanded floor, the
row of ber handle and the collection
of colorttd bottles are lacking. As a
super-saloon. It makes no concessions of
this kind, but hss a smooth floor, small
tablea covered, with white oilcloth, on
which aet vases of daffodils, while prints
from the old master ornament the walla.
A piano occupies1 a corner of the room,
where music, as well as certain approved
gamea are allowed. - Amateur cooks bring
In cooked, delicacies for sale at a nomi
nal price, for although alcoholic, liquors
are tabooed, there la no Injunction against
a patron eating all he can pay for. -
So far,, the Despard 'Arma has not hurt
th4 bualneaa of the neighboring public
houses in the lesst. The ordinary work
man reels . lost and ill at eaae in such
surroundings, and If the young suf
fragettes did not bring their young men
with them, there would be no business.

Easy for Outsider
To Get Liquor at
The Glasgow Clubs
(Correspondence of Associated Pre.)
GLASGOW. Scotland. April 17. Several
of the labor delegations which urged upon
Chancellor Llnyd-Georg the advisability
of total prohibition of alcoholic liquors
during the wsr. made a particular point
of the fact that any auch prohibition, to
be effective, must apply to private clubs
ss well aa to saloons and hotels.
While this was urgei partly on the
ground that any such prohibition should
operate equally upon all classes, it waa
also observed that in many towna it
would be futile to close, the bar rooma
and leave the clubs open. Glasgow Is
the most striking example of this, for
the wofklngmen's clubs here are very
numerous, and they practically all serve
liquor. - -
These clubs. In feet, have completely
defeated the object of recent legislation
for the early closing of saloons In Oreat
Britain. Early closing and Sunday cloe
Ing In Glesgow merely transfers the
drinking from the licensed houses to the
clubs.
The membership fees to these working
men's clube are generally nominal, and
In many casea are dispensed with en
tirely through the presentation of a form
of receipt for money which has never
been paid. The law requlree that only
members may be allowed admittance to
a club aervlng liquors, but the enforce
ment In Glasgow Is very lax, and a news
paper Investigator last Sunday obtained
admission unquestioned to a large num
ber of clubs, although he was not a
member of any. In several of them he
found upwards of 150 persona aeated
around the tables.
Blames Slavs for .
Causing Big War
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
VENICE, April 10. Count Julius An
drasey, former Hungarian minister of the
interior, has written a book. Just pub
lished at Budapeat entitled "Who Is Re
sponsible for the War?" The book has
received official approval and ts to be
published in German at Lelpslc and Ber
lin, and in Swltserland In French, A ver
sion in English will also bs brought out.
County Andrassy Is at present In Lclpslo
superintending the publication.
The count argues in his book that Slav
aspiration brought about the war, and
that the Russian ambition to poasess the
Dardanelie contributed greatly to It. He
assert that Auatria and Germany had no
intention in the beginning of territorial
aggrandizement, and urges them not to
think of It when final victory Is won. He
thinks they should be satisfied with mon
etary compensation, and that any terri
torial additlona to their boundariea would
not look well or prove of any great ad
vantage. Few Folks Have

Well-known' local' drngglst' aaya

of Sage Te and Sulphur. . "
Hair that loses1 Its color and luater,
or when It fades, turns gray, dull ant
lifeless. Is caused by a lack of sulphur '
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of .Bare Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousanda of 'women and men who val
ue that even color, that beautiful dark
ahade of hair which is so attractive,
use only this old-time recipe.
Nowaday we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store far a
to-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell It haa been 'ap
plied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
