With such dramatic power did the speaker relate the story of a ship wreck that a number of women and eeveral men in the audience burst out crying. It was the story of a shipwreck, and while the flsherfolln on shore looked at the vessel going to pieces on the rocks they saw a man in the masthead.

Th Russian victory at Tarnopol, eastern Oallcla, Las been followed by another effec tive blow at the Austrlana at Trem bowla, twenty miles further south. In the combined actions more than 15,000 prisoners have been taken, according to Petrograd's reports. As was tha case at Tarnopol, the Rus sians were unable to follow up the advantage gained at Trembowla, owing to their Inferiority In artillery, and the Austrlana were not pushed beyond the line of the river Sereth.
