The fracture of the skull waa the cause of death, and Coroner Burgess believes that the auto had nothing to do with that. However, ha expects to plaoe Iks whole matter before a Jury. WEDNESDAY.

Nov. 18.— The Ar* signs of dissatisfaction in Russia with the part the other allied nations art playing in the war acainet Germany are declared to be evident in Peiro grad. Reports here declare Russian au thorities are pointing to the fact that despite the invasion of the cwmr‘* troops in Galicia and East Prussia, the French and English have been unable to drive the Germans from France, though the kaiser weakened his force* in the west in order tc combat the Russian advance. It Is now admitted the Germans have been able to reeume the offensive from Thorn and are again pressing ‘or ward in Poland toward Plock. With Turkey now in the war, Rus sian sentiment Is beginning to favor a concentration of strength upon tlx Moslems. Russia has much more tc gain by the conquest of Turkey and capture of Constantinople than in any invasion of Germany. It la pointed out. therefore, that as the allien on the west have failed to gain advas* tage as a result of division of the German strength due to the Russian sdvsnre on the east, e practical aban donment of the invasion of Bast Prussia may come If the western allies have not cleared France of the Germans by the first of the year.
