Twenty rl l Mul,lti. Coffins containing the bodies of E. George Shirley, 27, and his wife, Mrs. Edith Shirley, 14, who were suffo cated while asleep In their home by fumes of a gas heater, were placed close together In a single grave at St. Mary's cemetery Saturday. The young couple had been mar ried a few months more than a year. Relatives expressed the belief that both would have requested that their bodies should He side by side in their last resting place had death not come in such form that neither knew of Its approach. Their married life, it was said, had been uniformly happy. Services were held at the home of Mr. Shirley's father, Michael Shirley, S8U Burt street, and at St. Cecelia's church. The church wai crowded by friends and cqatntances of the dead couple. A vast number of beautiful floral tributes were sent by friends. Mrs. 8. M. Collins of eaeramento. Cal.. mother of the dead woman, was among those who came to the funeral from out of town. Telia Value of Lire. Rev.. Joseph A. Weis preached the fu neral aermon. He called attention to the value and beauty of the lives which Mr. and Mrs. Shirley had lived and compared their untimely deaths to the destruction of a flower.

Russia military authorities regard the situation along the entire front of approximately 675 miles as favorable from their point of view. Three days ago the German efforts be tween Mltau and the Gulf of Riga pre sented a serious problem. At the present timo the status in that sector Is con sidered by the Russians as satisfactory. The Germans have been checked and their sphere of action is being narrowed con stantly. Eattward , the Russians are success fully pressing the Germans, gaining ground In many places. Their most con siderable success recently has been at j Poatavy. This town was taken and the i Germans were driven westward th ough Duka, in a-fierce battle. From that vicinity, south to the Baranovichi region, there is little ac tivity at present. In the Immediate vicin ity of Baranovichi the Russians are still on the offensive. In Gallcla, the Russians are following up their successes at Novo Alexineta. It Is stated that three German divisions were cut to pieces' there. The Russian authorities attributed their successes to the vigor of the Russian at tack, the exhaustion of German troops and the increasing difficulties of trans portation with which the Austrian and Germans have to contend. It Is stated, however, that the Germans have detached two armies for service in Serbia. These are the armies of Generals von Gall- witz and Koevess. Serbian Legation Hears from Front PARIS. Oct. 23.
