.'Pnemysl, Austrian Galicia. Oct.
17. (By mail to New York) When I
began my Ion, eventful journpy to
the town, Przemysl was the very front
of the line between the Russian and
Austrian armies, but last night, labor
ing In our automobile through the mud,
we found a grim Australian Uhlan
waiting for us In the rain on a hill
top, with the news that the Austrian
army had punhed the Russians back 38
miles.
' "It was a slaughter," said the Uhlan,
-"the Russians had eaten nothing for
six days. Their officers ordered them
to ro Into battle, but th hungry men
naid, "Give us food and we will fight'.
The officers said 'We wJH give you
lead food', and they turned the machine
(runs on their own soldiers to drive
them Into battle. That, was very bad
for the Russian soldiers, Nicht WahrT
Behind them their own guns would
kill them. Before them the Austrian
guns would kill them. And besides
tbey were dying of hunger".
(Paragraph out out by the censor).
Austria Wants Her Say.
The Uhlan smiled triumphantly and
started his horse off down hill through
the mud. Thu6 the Austrian front
has slipped out of my present reach
by 30 miles, but I am promised that
t tomorrow I shall be taken to the very
i point where the enemy's lines are so
near that a constant rifle lire is con
stantly going on.
The big fact that stands out at
.present. Is that the Austrian govern
ment wants the United States to know
what Is KOlng on in Austria. Vienna
was unrepresented for many weeks In
the world's news. Austria, had been
criticised for sending a note to Servta
that brought on the war and Austria's
side of the story has never been told In
the United States.
,' Austria's slue can be told In one
worHl: "Russia".
- Russia, Austrians say, has driven
Servla and the other Balkan states to
defy Austria, for RusHia desires a path
wny through .Austrlnn territory to the
ka and It was only by fighting Austria
that suoll an end could be gained.
Servla killed Art hduke Francis Ferd
inand, say the Austrians, but Russia
was behind Servla.
- Rote Was to Bussla.
Austria sent the note that caused
the war to Servla, but in realty it was
a note, to Russia an ultimatum that
the time had come when Russia must
quit such methods or fight.
And RuHsia fought.
Nothing is heard here About the
French or British. That might be a
different war, for all you hear of It
here "Down with Russia!" Is the cry
of Austria. Kverybody knows that.
over : toward ' the Atlantic ocean from
here;- there Is a long, zigzag battle lino
dlpnlng down into France toward
Paris. Bu a" that gigantic movement
Of which only a month ago I was a
partici;ating witness, seems a world-
. wide distance awey. Here Is another
battle line, not In a garden land like
France, but through mountainous and
wild country, over 500 miles long, with
s.OOflC.OOO men engaged.
'It was In Berlin that I received my
'marching orders for Austria. Would I
be welcome? was the first question in
my mind. I went to the Australian
consulate In Berlin and said that I
wanted to go to the Austrian front.
Auitriang Welcome Him.
t"We will be delighted to have sn
American newspaper man tell the truth
about Austria", taid the consul.
He found a small clear space on my
vine-covered passport, wrote, "Good for
Journeying Into Austria" on it and
refused to charge me the usual fee for
the service.
"Here's a box you can drop some
money in for the Red Cross", he said,
tut I won't charge an American news
paper man money for entering Austria
Just now. Wo want you there'.
Next I .went to Vienna. For sev
ersl days it looked as if I would have
to walk from Berlin to the city where
St Menehould In the picturesque
valley of the Atsne, In northeastern
France, four miles west of the Forest
of Argonne, lies thla little town of
about half a thousand Inhabitants. It
was here that "Old Dragon Drouet"
recognized Louis XVI on his attempt
ed flight from France in 1791. The
town Is known for its pork. The
place was named from Menehould,
daughter of gigmare, count of Per
thois, who lived In a magnificent
castle on top of the steep, rocky hill
at whose foot the town Is located.
The daughter was famed for her char
itable deeds and was considered a
saint by the poor people, to whose
wants she ministered. In 1793 the
people of the town changed Its name
from MontaVne-sur-Aisne to St. Mene
hould. St. Juvin A village In the Forest of
Argonne region of northern France.
four miles west of Grandpre. and
about 35 miles east of Reims. On ap
proachlng the town a huge building
resembling a middle age fortress with
four turrets is seen. A nearer view
reveals the fact that it is a church,
one of the most curious In the Ar
gonne region. It is dedicated to fat.
Juvin. who was a slave employed to
watch cattle In the forest. Legend
says that he built himself a place to
pray in the dense woods. His master.
Marc, a nonbeliever, asked him to ex
plain. The slave carried In his hand
a dead branch" of a tree. Suddenly
twigs and green leaves sprouted from
Its sides. Marc Immediately ordered
that, after his death, an inscription be
placed over his grave, stating that he
was a believer in the resurrection from
the dead and that he was "only a
worm of the dirt."
Grandpre A small town on the
northern border of the Forest of Ar
gonne, in the northwestern part of

A large castle, in which are many
relics and pieces of art nearly 800
years old. crowns the top of a neigh

through the hilly and wooded Argonne
region.
Theodosla, or Kaffa A fashionable
seaside resort on the southeast coast
of Crimea, rising on the sides of the
hills enclosing the west angle of one
of the bays of the Black Sea. The
Ionian Greeks founded the town, which
Is said to have reached a population
of 100,000 in the middle ages. Six
hundred years ago the Genoese started
a colony there and their city finally
rivalled Athens In splendor and size.
but the attacks of the Turks in 14T5
caused the city's prosperity to decline
rapidly. In recent years it has begun
to flourish again and now has a pop
ulation close to 30.000, made up of Tar
tars, Armenians, Greeks and Russians.
Their principal occupations are fish
ing, the preparation of caviar, and
the exportation of wheat, wool, hides
and salt.
Novorossysk A town In the Rus
sian province of Caucasia, on the
northeast coast of the Black sea, 25
miles southeast of Anapa, and almost
opposite Theodosia, 120 miles away. In
1721' the Turks built the fortress
Soudjouk - Kaleh on the site of the
present town. This was destroyed by
Russia in 1812 and in 1838 the forti
fied village was founded, which with
stood a siege by the allies in 1855.
Novorossysk has become an important
commercial point, with the shipping
of petroleum as its chief Industry.
The population today is about 18,000.
Polanger An extreme northwestern
town of Russia, on the Baltic sea, 18
miies due north of Germany's north
ernmost town, Memel. The place is

tensive commerce. It has excellent
bathing facilities, and is noted for its
yellow amber. It exports hides 'and
cattle, and receives In return cloth.

Just to the south of the town is Mount
Merouta, celebrated because of the
magnificent temple to the Lithunlan

Formal Hearing Is
First One Ever Held
Industrial Accident Commission Will
. Determine Whether Injured Person
May Sue Employer.
The State Industrial Accident com
mission held Its first formal hearing
Wednesday In its offices In the Sher
lock building. Nearly 2000 accident
claims have been adjusted by the com
mission and this Is the first time that
it was necessary to resort to a formal
hearing to determine whether, under
the provision of section 25 of the work
men s compensation law, the injured
person might bring suit against his
employer under the employers' llabil
lty law instead of accepting the com
pensation provided by the state com
pensation law.
Section 25 provides that when the
commission shall determine that the
accident was caused, by the- failure of
the employer to Install and maintain
sare guards required by statute, the
workman shall have the right of suit
against the employer or take the com
pensation provided by the state law.
The case in which the question
arises is that of Harry Tonnof f against
C. J. Cook & Co. The plaintiff was
injured In July, while loading steel
rails In Portland, and alleges that his
injury was caused by the failure of
the company to use stakes in the bol
