HOLDS MORTGAGE GOOD AFTER ESTATE IS SOLD According to Court Opinion Mortgagee Mut lie Consulted As to Sales of Property. Judge Funk has ruled that a mortgage held by Helen Bergen on property left by Minerva Lario, remained a lien against the property even though the property, when sold, had not returned sutticient funds to meet all obligations. Tho opinion of the court camo us the result of a petition entered by John K. Fisher, administrator of the estate of Minevra Lario. to have the mortgage cancelled on the grounds that the estate did not bring as much as was expected at tho sale on Feb. According to the petition a mortgage was given to Helen Bergen by one of the heirs of the Lario estate, on their interest in the estate, before the administrator was appointed. When the administrator tiled his petition to sell tho estate he did not make he mortgage holder a party to the action. The property was sold to Mike Zappia. Tho court ruled that as the holder of the mortgage had not been made a party to the action to sell the property sho was not bound by the proceedings, and also that s'nee the administrator had sold the estate he no longer had any interest in it anl therefore the court had no jurisdiction to order the mortgage cancelled because it had not been paid by the administrator.

RUSSIANS HURLED GIST ENEMY Germans Withdraw Major Portion of Forces from VistulaNiemen Front to Meet Great Army in the Carpathians. ri'TUoCHAD, March 27. Three million Russian soldiers are rolling like a tidal wave upon the AustroGerman forces along tho Carpathians from the Dunajec river to Uukowina. thrusting back their foes to their fortihed positions in the passes and on the crests.

The otlicial Russian view of the situation was voiced by Minister of War Sukhomlinoff. "An immediate triumph for the Russian army need not be expected," he said, "but an ultimate triumph is certain. We don't underestimate the qualities of our German foes. Tt is upon them the task of defending Hungary and Cracow will fall.
