As German and Austrian forces had followed the main Russian army of Galicia, the 8th, which had been engaged in fighting in the Carpa- thians, to the lines of the Zlota Lipa River, where they were halted by the Russian defence, the new offen- sive indicates that the Russians have | again crossed this stream, and the mention of advanced guards indi- | cates the presence of the Czar's troops in considerable numbers on this front. { { { { | CANADMN'S ARMY.

Outside of a few educa~ tlonists, to wtom his work has be- | | { come familiar, his name and achieve. | ments. have not been generally known. Yet in Nova Scotia, Dr. Fraser is regarded as a great ma and never was a knighthood hestow- ed on anyone in the Province with A. Craick Weekly, In the roster of Canada's titled ¢itizens, Sir Frederick Fraser will be known as "the blind knight." Ale most all of his sixty-five years have been spent in darkness. When a small boy, one of his eyes was seri- ously injured with a knife, and he lost the use of it. The other eye became affected with sympathetic in- flammation and soon after it too be- came useless. This tragedy of his lite, however, did not daunt a brave spirit, and the blind boy determined to devote himself all the more zeal- ously to the improvement eof his mind. He went to the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, where he proved himself to be an apt and eager pupil and from there at the age of twenty-three, he returned te Halifax to become superintendent of thé Halifax School for the Blind. Various causes lie at the back of knighthoods. Ostensibly conferred by the Sovereign, they are often given for political or financial rea- sons, and the Crown merely sane- tions the choice of the Ministry. It Speaks volumes for ,the splendid work of Sir Frederick Fraser on he- half of the education of the blind that his selection for the honor was made by H. R. H,, the Goyernor-General personally, and because of the Duke of Connaught's interest in and admir- ation for the institution that the blind knight has built ap When Sir Frederick took charge of the school over forty years ago it had but nine pupils, and for a time the work languished, but after nine years of effort, the superintendent Succeeded in securing a law . making education free to the blind of the Province. To accomplish this re- sult he went ahout addressing public meetings and stirring up publie opinion in favor of the legislation. Then he visited the other Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland with similar results. The next step was to increase the accommodation of the school and improve the equipment, 80 that every blind child east of Quebec might have a chance to learn. So successful was he in these endeavors that to-day the Halifax School for the Blin in 'the Toronto more general satisfaction, says W.| Star | Point In the Far North He De- | sc..bes His Advéntures and Says That Although at First H: a.d His Companions Thought They | Saw Land It Soon Disappeared.
