iard that has been threatening for

that it is served out in cupfuls and

The blizzard is sweeping across the
wide square that the soldiers have fa

Jt is blinding men and horses.
The blizzard rises in fury. The
rtreets are almost deserted. Four sold

carrying newly arrived mail sacks to
the sorting station.
An officer passes, flashing his pocket

Light gleams fitfully behind its high

Heavy Firing: Heard.
The next morning I rise early, so S3
to have a long day behind the guns at
Rolimow. The storm has died down.
The dawn is sickly and grayish. At 4
o'clock the artillery has resumed firing.
I open the window and listen. The
rumble of the guns ail along that great
line to the east Is heavier and more
rapid than I have ever heard it be
fore. 1 look out on the snow-covered
square. A fresh regiment, also bound
for the front, is drawn up in the wan
light: gray and blue clad masses of
men who look cheerful and alert. The
only sound In the square Is the soft
pounding they make on the snow when
Ihcy stamp their feet to keep them
'warm.
Hoarse cries of command run along
the lines and they swing through the
narrow streets and out onto the plain.
A wagon train follows them: then an

lances making black menace against

"Xew Woman" Figures in Campaign
.First Time in Nation's History.
1500 Bribery Arrests Made.
' TOKIO, March 25. Closing an, ex
citing campaign, during which the
wives of several candidates at Toklo
made personal visits and appeals to the
voters, a general election was held to
day throughout the Japanese Empire to
choose a new House of Representatives.
The last House was dissolved by the
Emperor on Christmas day, 1914, be
cause of its refusal to ratify the mili
tary programme of the Cabinet. .To
day's election, therefore, not only
brings in a new House, but decides the
fate of the Cabinet headed by, Count
Shigenobu Okuma.
The campaign has been the most ex
citing and expensive In the history of
Japan. The candidates employed thou
sands . of canvaBsers and there were
daily rallies In the streets and halls
throughout the country. An Increased
appeal to the reason of the voters was
in evidence. Premier Okuma made
whirlwind campaign, speaking from a
special train, while leaders like Yukio
Osaki, the Minister of Justice, distrib
uted their views by phonograph.
Appearance of women in the cam
paign, for the first, time in Japanese
history, caused a sensation. The wives
of several of the candidates made a
house-to-house canvass in behalf of
their husbands, thereby provoking com.
merit In the newspapers concerning the
development of the "new woman."
The police were ordered, to make
quick arrests in the case of bribery.
As a result. 1500 persons wre ar
rested. .
Taking into consideration the fact
that the population of Japan is ap
proximately 54.000,000, the suffrage is
small, only about 2,000.000 persons
having the right to vote. The City of
Toklo, with a population of a little
more than 2,000.000, has only 40,000
voters.

CHICAGO, March 24. (Special.)
That the stock market in its vigorous
and sweeping advance has begun to
"discount" the end of the European
war was the opinion expressed today
by heads of La Salle-street brokerage
Arms. They called attention to the
adage that pronounced movements in
the stock market nearly always rep
resent adjustments to financial condi
tions some six months In advance of
their arrival.
"I think that it is safe to say that
there are appearing from day to day
many harbingers of peace," said F. C.
Aldrich, of Finley Barrell & Co., presi
dent of the Chicago Stock Exchange.
Little straws, we might call them.
France Stops Buying Horses.
"We had a report today, for instance,
that France had stopped buying horses
in Chicago and elsewhere. Recently
the war news has been of a character
to help the stock mavket,
"Our people, including our New York
office, are bullish. Our Wall Street ad
vices are that sentiment is getting bet
ter, every day. Brokers' offices are
again filling up with customers, more
so than at any time since the Stock
Exchange reopened. There is a large
amount of money awaiting investment
the momqnt conditions appear favor
able. That has created a large buying
power. Of course, occasional back-sets
are to be expected, but the general
trend is promising.
Important Interests Actlte.
"What is putting the stock market
up?" echoed Charles Garald King, of
King-Farnura Co. "'The reason, as we
gather it, is good buying by the best
kind of people. Important Interests, it
appears, made up their minds & few
days ago that the time had come to
buy. Stocks go up when business is
bad just as they often go down when
business is good. That is the way the
market adjusts itself to coming events.
Now we have a combination of the
world's greatest war and depressed
business. Naturally the next change
will be for the better. The end of the
war, as I look at it, is fairly well in
sight."
Stoek Investments Are Large.
O. E. Babcock, of Rushton & Co.,
made the following comment:
"There has been of late a large
amount of investment buying of stocks.

Wednesday's War Moves
A BRITISH air raid on Hoboken, near
Antwerp, where the Germans are
constructing submarines; another
threatened effort by the Germans In
Flanders, and heavy fighting In the
Carpathians are the outstanding fea
tures of today's war news.
Five British airmen,, starting from
Dunkirk, took part in the raid on the
submarine yards, but only two of them
reached the mark. Two were obliged
to turn back owing to the thick
weather, and a third was compelled to
land in Holland because of engine trou
ble and was Interned.
According to a report issued by the
British Admiralty, two of the five sub
marines which were observed on the
slips were damaged and the works set
afire. Prior to the war this plant was
known as the Cockerill works and be
longed to a British company. When the
Germans took the plant over a high
fence was erected around It and no
Belgian was allowed to enter. Work
men were brought from Germany to
build the submarines. It is pointed out
that these had to violate the neutrality
of Holland to pass down the Scheldt to
the sea, but this was easy of accom
plishment, as they could pass the
Dutch forts submerged.
Dispatches from the Dutch frontier
say that seven German airmen attacked
the British raiders, but were outflown.
In the same region it is reported that
the Germans are preparing for another
supreme effort in Flanders. Already
thre has been considerable fighting
along the Yser, the Germans having
bombarded Nieuport and Dlxmude,
while the Belgians have made progress
along both banks of the river.
The big battle ot the moment, how
ever, is in progress between Dukla Pass
and Uzsok Pass in the Carpathians,
where, in their official communication,
the Russians say they have captured
a large number of Austrians and have
made a general advance. Austrian cor
respondents declare that this battle Is
likely to continue for some time. It is
possible that the Runsians will use part
of the troops released by the fall of
Przemysl in n endeavor to bring the
battle to an end.
The Austrians have developed a fresh
offensive in Bukowlna, to which terri
tory they some days ago sent rein
forcements and have, according to their
account, driven the Russians back to
ward the frontier and removed the im
mediate menace to Czernowitz.
On the other extreme wing of the
eastern front, the Germans reoccupied
Memel with the assistance of their war
ships, which have since bombarded the
roads by which the Russians were tall,
ing back. The Germans also appar
ently have checked the Russian advance
on Tilsit.
Unfavorable weather is still inter
fering with the operations of the allied
fleet in the Dardanelles.
ITALY "FREE TO CHOOSE"
Government Declared Empowered to
"Realize Aspirations."
HOME, via Paris, March 24. Com
menting favorably on the adjournment
of the Chamber of Deputies, the
Giornale d'ltalia says every Deputy now
is convinced of the necessity for Italy
to act energetically, "facing any sacri
fices, even a supreme struggle, to
realize Italian aspirations." The paper
adds:

Record Pace Maintained.
Not only did Portland beat the rec
ords of New York and St. Louis in its
first day's campaign, but It also beat
them In the second day. New York
gained in the second day of its cam
paign about 400. or only a little more
than half what Portland has achieved;
St. Louis with only S00, added less than
half of Portland's record on the second
day of her campaign. Spokane's total
for its second day was 703.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
in the first two days has rained a
greater membership than the St. Louis
Chamber of Commerce was able to
muster in a campaign of five days" du
ration. The total for the second day in Port
land is within 132 of the total mem
