According to the Budapest newspapers, the esr.i Naplo, an armored - train en route from Lemberg to the Carpathians, wjth am munition and food, has been blown np. The route mentioned by the dis patch, "Lemberg to carpatnians, makes it appear that the supply train blown up was sent by the Russians who have held Lemberg for sometime.

On both sides of tha Atlantic there will be thanksgiving for thT peace that has extended since the treaty of Ghent, and even Ghent itself, although a sufferer in this war, will not let the event pass altogether unnoticed When the United States and the United kingdom laid their plans fo the celebration of one hundred years of peace among English-speaking peo pies, little did they imagine that the world's greatest war was near and that one of them would be in the thick of it. The Austrian move which pre cipitated the struggle was made only fourteen days after the Westminister meeting aU which the British commit tee formulated its recommendations for the participation of the churches in the celebration.

Ninety pieces of Italian and Spanisa brocades and velvets of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were loaned by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
