GERMANS HOLD ON
WEST OF LOWICZ
According to Reports the Battle in
Poland Is Still Undecided With
the Kaiser's Force Making Desper
ate Efforts Toward Warsaw
London, Dec. 3, 4.32 A. M.—The
Petroprad correspondent of the
"Times" points out that by retaking
(Strykow the Russians have regained
possession of the Lodx-Warsaw rail
way. He adds:
"There is no perceptible alteration
in the relative positions of the oppos
ing armies in Poland and the Germans
apparently still maintain their hold on
the central region west of Lowicz. The
situation remains extremely interest
ing and hazardous.
"The Russians are making progress
in the neighborhood of Cracow. They
are nog- within eight miles of the
city."
Guns Thundering Near Ypres
London, Dec. 3, Nooai.—The in

of transports bearing wounded meniead
to the conclusion in London that a
greater degree of activity has prevail
ed in \\ est Flajiders than has been re
}>orted in the official eommuuicatWns.
A3] reports agree that in Northern
Poland the battle is still undecided,
and fiercely contested, with the Ger-
mans making desperate efforts to re
sume their forward movement in the
direction of Warsaw.
Russian General Made Scapegoat
From Petrograd comes the report
that General Reainenkanvpff lias been
made'the scapegoat on account of the
Napoleonic coup which enabled the
German forces to cut through the en
circling Russian cordon. According to
this report the dilatoriness of General
Rennenkampff in bringing up rein
forcements made the suceem of the
German move possible.
Discussing the campaign as a whole,
a well known Berlin military critic
maintains that the long resistance and
the unexpected recuperative powers of
the Austrians. coupled with their loss
es in Poland, have deprived Russia of
such a large portion of her first line
troops that her offensive power has
been irretrievably impaired. On the
other hand, observers in Petrograd
express the opposite view, and thev
are confident that Grand Duke Nichol
as will prove himself more than a
match for the admitted resourceful
ness of General Von Hinder)burg.

LUTE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Although the opinion is expressed by
foreign military critics that operations
on a large scale are in progTess iu
France and Belgium, to-day's official an
nouncements from Paris and Berlin tell
of no important battles. The fighting
in the east likewise has diminished in
intensity.
The German War Office statement
reports that, nothing of importance has
occurred, west or east. The French
announcement speaks of violent artil
lery fire near the North sea at Nieu
port, in the vicinity of Ypres and be
tween the rivers Lys and Somme. Ger
man forces persist in their infantry at
tacks in the Argonoe region, but so
far as has been disclosed have made
little progress. The barrier of water
which helped the allies to check the
German advance toward the French
coast has been extended, further terri
tory having beeu inundated to the
south of mxmude.
The Krupp factory at Essen, which
supplies the German army with its
great guns, is said to have been bom
barded by an aeronaut, though with
what effect is unknown.
In Budapest it is asserted that the
capture of Belgrade. Servia, by Aus
trians was accomplished in a battle
with bayonets. This version is at vari
ance with reports from Nish that the
Servian troops evacuated the city.
King George was on the firing line
in France to-day. Emperor William,
who recently visited his troops in East

While most people believe it to be
very uncomfortable and terrifying to
be under ten feet of water, even
though one is encased in a deep-sea
diver's outfit, this is a mistaken idea.
After you get over that helpless feel
ing that at first attsu-ks the amateur
diver, the sensation is most pleasant,
excepting that the hands become
numbed and cold. This is due to the
tight rubber coupling that makes t)he
sleeves air-tight.
The suit I wore yewterday afternoon
was about fourteen sizes too large for
me and was very uncomfortable until
the face plate had been screwed into
the helmet and the suit fillexl with air.

Austrian Accused of Having Put Some
thing in Sauerkraut That Made
Boarding House Keeper, Wife, Five
Children and Eleven Others 111
Charged with having poisoned eight
een persons, Andrew Meloetwick, an
Austrian, who boarded at the home of
John Pollicic, 1101 South Ninth
street, was taken for a hearing late
m
this afternoon to the office of Al
derman John B. Nicholas, of the First
ward, at 621 Race street. There was
much excitement in the ofliue of the
magistrate in advance of the hearing.
It is alleged that Meloetwick board
ed at the home of Pollicic and . that
the latter man, his wife and fivo chil
dren and eleven other boarders, were
poisoned by eating sauerkraut in which
some foreign matter bad been placed.
All of the eighteen persons are now ill
and under treatment of physicians, ac
cording to persons attending the hear
ing.
It is alleged that the |>oison was put
in the sauerkraut one day last week.
The aighteen |>ersons, who becaane
violently ill, were by the
sickness at various times, after having
partaken of the sauerkraut. Some of
them d.id not- become ill until this
week.
Recently, it is alleged, the bed in
the room occupied by Meloetwick was
found to be afire. It was alleged he
was seen to leave the room.
At 3.30 o'clucki this afternoon it was
said in the office of Alderman Nicholas
that, although Meloetwick was on hand
ready to be arraigned, the hearing
might have to be postponed until Satur
day owing to the absence of important
witnesses.
The arrest of Meloetwick was made
by Constable Gibbons. Dr. O. A. New
man and Dr. C. \. Hart are the phy
sicians attending the patients.
It was formally announced a* 3.4 5
o'clock this afternoon that cue hear
ing was postponed because the inter
preter did not turn up. Tlhe formal
charge against the man was ma<le last
evening, the warrant issued and the
arrest made. The defendant was lodged
in jail this morning.
Dance to Debutante
A dance in honor of Miss Louise
Carney, a debutante of the present sea

Country Club on Monday evening, De

been issued by Mr. and MTS. F. Her
bert Snow, Riverside apartments.
I waa further shocked to hear the voice
asking whether I couldn't hear what it
is saying. Then for the first I recall
ed that Captain Sorcho's famous in
vention, the submarine telephone, was
connected with the helmet of the suit
I wore.
This immediately dispelled all feel
ing of loneliness which I may have
toad. After I got used to the roaring
of the air as it lef?, the helmet I found
that I could talk to Captain Sorcho and
many of my friends who were oil the
stage, as well as to the pretty actresses
who are at the Orpheum this week. I
began then to feel that a diver's life
would just about suit me.
However, the full value of this sub
marine telephone was not realized until
I remembered that the Bell Telephone
Company had connected the submarine
line to the surface phone. Captain
Sorcho, from above, asked me:
''Are you ready to talk to your of

The pills are of common variety

with the other ingredients, is excellent

How many pills the child ate is not

Mrs. Patterson had gone to the rear

not venture to say, except to suggext
that iit takes more than hope, advice,

proper credit basis to obtain capital for
improvements and extensions.
"Increased traffic will not cure the

by increased costs in wages and taxes.
These companies, therefore, need not
merely the very moderate increase in

His suspicion? movements and the al

vania railroad police, in Pittsburgh, on
December 21, last, arrested Edward G.

A. H. Swinehart, for twenty-live

this morning. He said' that when Smith
was arrested little or nothing was
known by the Pittsburgh police re
garding tlit. suspect who was wanted
in this city in connection with the
Bush murder.
Smith's arrest was really an acci

identity was disclosed only after a
charge of "carrying a pistol" had
been lodged against him as a substi
tute for the "suspicious character"
charge on which he first was detained.
That came after he was searched and
a revolver was found in his pocket,
along with an annual pass bearing the
name of the grandfather, Bush, and
gold, bills and small change totaliii"

Half a dozen witnesses, mostly Pitts
