PERSIAN YICTORY CONSOLES RUSSIA Sltri Win Battle Against Turks, but This Small Cheer in View of Oalioia Defeat. QERMAKS GAB? IN THE WEST LONDON, May 6. The Ruaslang hare had at least partial revenge (or the defeat inflicted upon them In western Oallcla by the Austrian! and Germans, by badly beating the Turks, who had Invaded TerBla. The defeat took place in a three days' battle near the frontier, and Petrograd reports that the Russians Inflicted heavy losses on the Otto mans. If the sucx-ess of the Musco vites has been followed up, military observers declare that Persia now should be free of ita uninvited guests. This battle, however, waa a amall af fair when compared with what Germany and AuatMa claim they have done is the Ruaaiana In OeJicla.

Phould they uccred In doing this, however, It Is aaaerted that a general retreat of the Rusnlana would be Imperative and that the whole Carpathian offensive, on which the MuRcovite have spent eo much time and no man lives, would be completely nullified.

The above questions, vital to every pur chaser of an automobile, are thoroughly answered in the window display of the Francis-Cullis Auto Company, at 2024 Farnam Street. The price of any car may be low enough at first, but the question every prospective purchaser should ask is "What will the parts for the car cost me when I need them?" And in most cases if he can get an intelligent answer he finds that they would cost three or four times the first cost of the car. The parts for the Maxwell figure the nearest to the original cost of the car of any car sold on the market today.
