LONDON. March 2. "A Russian cav
Drv movement succeeded in cutting
the" German East Prussian army in two
last Friday at the village of Krasno
aiclo." says the Daily News Pctrograd
correspondent. "The Germans are now
divided into two parts, with a con
siderable sap between them.
A dispatch to neuter's Telegram
Company from I'ctrogrrad says:
"The German prisoners captured at
Triasnysx belong to 15 different regiments.-'
"The main Austrian army also is in
a dangerous position, owing to the
sudden offensive taken by the Rus
sians in Galicla. The Russian force
made a rapid advance and threatened
the main Austrian headquarters near
Stanislau and the Austrians are now
retreating through Koloroea toward
Kukowina."
Russian. Arttvf la Buk.nUa.
Telegraphing from Bucharest, the
Cailv Mail's correspondent says:
"The Russians are preparing to re
sume the offensive in the fighting
round Czernowltz. They already have
forced the Austrians to withdraw
nearly two miles from the town. Fresh
Russian artillery is arriving at Povo
sielica, on the extreme northern Rou
manian frontier." -
Retreating in disorder that has not
been equaled in the Kastcrn operations,
the Germans who defeated and pur
sued the Russians from East Prussia
have abandoned large numbers of
heavy and light guns and slightly
wounded men. according to dispatches
received from Petrograd describing
the Russian victory in the Tegion of
Przasnsz. The Germans have been
driven back to the frontier. Two corps
were defeated and 10,000 Germans cap
tured. The Russian War Office says further
that this reverse has upset the Ger
man plans, which had for their object
an envelopment intended to sweep the
Russians from their positions along
the entire front from Augustowo to
Kastern Galicia, a distance of several
hundred miles.
Violent Battle Inder Way.
A violent engagement also is under
way in Bukowina. the Russians re
porting that they have completely
checked the Austro-German offensive,
while Vienna merely mentions the ter
rific nature of the battle and does not
comment on the outcome.
The early official report from the
Berlin War Office merely said:
"We repulsed Russian attacks north
ef Consha and northwest of Ostrolenka.
Otherwise. there was nothing of impor
tance to report,"
The following official communication
was received from Vienna:

"In the region south of the Dniester
the Russians have been reinforced and
stubborn battles are proceeding. Alf
attacks on our positions have been re
pelled with heavy losses to the enemy.
"In Poland and West Galicia only
artillery engagements have occurred."

Andrew Carnegie's Union Urges
That Partisanship Be Discouraged
and Protests Against Agitation
for Increased Armaments.
NEW TORK, March 2. (Special.)
The Church Peace Union, founded a
year ago by Andrew Carnegie, through
its secretary, tno Rev. Frederick Lynch,
made public here today a message
which the union has addressed to "the
churches and clergy of America." cau
tioning ministers and church people
against partisanship in discussing the
European war, and protesting against
the present agitation for increased
armaments. This Is said to be the first
time in church history that Catholics
and Protestants have Joined in signing
a common letter addressed to the
churches. Tlie Peace Union's letter is
signed by Cardinal Gibbons of Balti
more, and Archbishop Glennon. of St.
Louis. The president of the union is
the Right Rev. David H. Greer, Prot
estant Episcopal Bishop of New ork.
At the first of the Church Peace
Union on February 10, 1914. it was
announced that Mr. Carnegie had made
it an endowment of 2.000,000, Its aim
being the furtherance of the cause of
international peace through the united
efforts of all religious bodies. Twenty-nine
prominent clerfrymen and
churchmen, representing all denomina
tions, including Jewish organizations,
were appointed trustees. It is these
men who have signed the message in
question. Following are some of the
striking paragraphs In the message:
"Partisanship is adding fuel to fires
of passion which already are too hot
Clergymen should allay prejudice, not
intensify it. Each of ithe warring na
tions believes in the Justice of its
cause. Their disputes are of long
standing, involve all the governments
concerned, and their full history is yet
to be written. In such a period of
such tense feeling it is not easy to
unravel the tangled skein 'of motives
and events. It is a grievous thing that
there is war between peoples whom
we respect and count our friends.
"In this calamitous hoir, denuncia
tion of either side assumes a superhu
man knowledge of complex policies and
purposes imperils the influence of our
Government in promoting peace, ag
gravates a quarrel which we should
help abate, creates dissensions among
our own people, inflames a war spirit
in America, and gives force to the
sriticism that the church has abdicated
its sacred function as the maker of
peace and concord.
"Our own freedom from militarism
has been due to protecting oceans
rather than to superior virtue. The
present clamor for an armament to re
sist a possible attack is prompted, not
by peril, but bv the disposition to echo
on our side of the sea the cries which
have been heard in Europe for years,
and it is engendering the same suspi
cions that have wrecked the relations
of Germany and Great Britain. Are we
to repeat the policy which is drenching
the continent with blood? This is the
time to prepare not for war. but for
peace." ;
Portland- Woman Heiress.
EUREKA. Cal.. March 2. (Special.
more than
three
stepdaughters and one daughter of
George Tearl have believed him dead.
The daughter, Mrs. Bertha M. Clay,
3030 Lowell street. Eureka, received
word today that her father had spent
the last two decades in the far north
and had died but a short time ago in
Alaska, leaving an estate of 85.000
which will be divided among the four
children.
The stepdaughters are Mrs. Flora
Hood, of Portland: Mrs. Charles Hod
dinott, of Mendocino, Cal., and Mrs.
Clara Buffington, whose address is un
known. It seems that many years ago the
family broke up and the father left
for an unknown destination. Efforts
were made to find him, and finally he
was given- up for dead. Not another
word was heard of him until today,
when a letter from public officials in
Alaska to Mrs. Clay told her of her
father's death and of the estate which
she and her three half-sisters are to
share in.

EMPRESS BILL NOVEL
SHADOWCRAPHIC STORIES PROVE
EXTEBTAIMSG- TO AIDIENCE.
ElMle Gilbert Puts on Sprlsfctly Tur
and Other Also Win Stamp
of Approval.
From Frevoli, who opens the Marcus
Loew Empress bill with shadowgraphic
stories, on down the ienJftby list to
ReddlnKton and tirant, a couple ol
bounding tramps, wnose acrobatic
antics are boundless, the bill is a capi
tal one. The headliner is Elsie Gilbert,
a sprightly, pretty little girl with
"sassv" red hose, huge red bows on her
bobbing- little head, and a raggedy
dress. Elsie has the role of a poor lit
tle girl who infringes on the preserves
for four rich little girls. The songs
and the chatter are all relative to the
contrasting conditions and are all ex
tremclv funny. The quintet dance
beautifully and are aided and abetted
bv four beautiful big Scotch Collies.
Which jump electric lighted ropes and
are acrobats generally and generously.
A wee woolly dog, Buppy, chases in
and out of the plot and provokes joy.
Little Mise Gilbert has a trio of songs,
and her best one fa the plaint of a lit
tle girl who "wants to be the captain
or she won't play at ail."
Bessie Le Count is a fascinating ex
ponent in the art of pantomime. Her
comedy Impersonations, all In panto
mime, with song accompaniment, are
trulv delightful and entertaining. One
of her strongest cards is a bit of phil
osophy called "Take It From Me, Kid."
A trio of tuneful artists are Goelet,
Storts and Lafayette, who sing. Also
they pick upon thejjanjo and tickle the
vories t tno piano. j ini.w. . u.v...
they have takes on all the pep and
dash of a visit to the blea'-hers.
Numberless as the sands of the sea
shore are the "imitations" and ex
amples of animals that are offered by
Charles Uunbar, helped out by Sally
Dunbar, in smart attire. Of Uunbar
imitations possibly the most ex-iting
and real Is the battle of the cat and
the parrot. A dog fight, too. Is real
istic, and so. too, is a visit to the pig
pen to hear the porkers.
B'revoli's shadowcraft is diverting
and hRS the great value of being enter
taining in its fun. Two entire melo
dramas Trevoli works out in shadows,
thrown on a big white screen, one of
which, a tale of love unrequited, is
ludicrously funny. Another Is the
story of the first smoke.
Herman Reddington and Kdward
Grant keep the audience howling for
more all tho time with their boundlnas
up and down, over and under on a set
of huge springs. One chap works In
slow time, the other whirlwinds, and
they wind up by somersaulting while
they pick on the mandolin.
