PUICE ONE CENT
REVOLT GROWING
IN VARES' DISTRICT
AGAINST PENROSE
Opposition to Selfish Leader
ship Takes Definite rorm
Among Foreign Residents
of the Downtown Wards.
lUTolt against Penrosclsm and Varclsm
J now spreading In the heart of the
V&r district downtown. There nro signs
of b. general uprising ngalnst tho Or
iranUatlon leaders. It Is contended by
many of the downtown voters that they
have been used solely to nld the Varcs
n their personal political ambitions, nnd
the leaders of the nntl-Vnre crusade do
clare that thero will bo no change In
conditions unless thero Is a change In
political leadership
Opposition to the Vares and Penro-je Is
specially manlfcit among Itallnn voters,
who say they were Insulted because of
their nationality by tho downtown Or
ganization leaders duilng the strlko of
the street cleaners some time ago. Ef
forts to sidetrack the antl-Varo senti
ment by trusted Vare lieutenants havo
been futile.
Several antl-Vare meetings have been
held and arrangements are being made
for a campaign In each of the downtown
wards.
Fully 100 Italians attended a meeting of
the Italian Political league at Mechanics'
Hall, "21 Carpenter street, Inst night,
when It was decided to tnke steps toward
the elimination of Penrosclsm nnd Vnro
Ism from the colony. Leonard Persiclietl,
chairman of tho meeting, declared tho
Italians would take stops to nvengo the
Insults heaped upon them by the Vares.
"So far ns Doctor Brumbaugh Is con
cerned." he said, "wo regard him ns the
best man for tne position, ihii u uocmr
Brumbaugh Is ninnlng merely to cover
the past reputation of the leader nf Blge
lowlsm and corruption, wo will fight with
greater foice for his decfat."
Addresses also were made by Joseph P.
Mulllle, Marchlno, John Rusqo and ex
Lieutenant Lnch, who was stationed at
the Seventh and Carpenter streets polico
ftatlon
The league will hold another meeting
at Mechanics' Ilnll next Monday night.

VIENNA (Hy way of Hornet, Sept 13.
Although no effort Is being msde to dls
gulco tho fact that tho Austrian army
buffered an overwhelming defeat in the
earlier fighting In Galicln. it Is now stated
at headquaiters of the General Staff that
tho situation Is Improving
The Austrlans are being reformed under
the protection of tho San mr defenses
nnd are expected to hold their positions
there Indefinitely. It is Mated th.it from
the Inception of the war the Austrlans
have heen outnumbered four and five to
ono hv tho Kusslans. Yet de-plti. tho dis
parity In odds the aimy has t ought hard

Tne last classes of the landsturm hae
been called to the colois. but thero nre
no uniforms or equipment for them and
they will be held at tho ooncentiatlon
camps until uniforms nnd riflea can bo
procured from the outlyimc furtresses.
One of the serious problems confront
ing the commanders nt the front Is the
fact that the Russian nrtlllery Is far
superior to the Austrian It has a much
longer range with the result that In
every battle to dato tho Austrian artil
lery has been practically useless In sup
porting tlio Infantry

Gcneial von Kluk, commander of tho
German light wing, Is reported to
havo surrendered with 14,000 men In
tho vlcnlty of Mezlcrea. Tho report
lacks confirmation from tho British
nnd French War Offices.
For tho last ten days the German right
wing has sustained a terrific attack
from the allies. On Sunday tho Brit
ish extended their lines near Hhelms,
and it Is now believed that the Alsno
has been crossed and the Germans
surroundd near Mezleres.
In a supreme attempt to prevent the
German armies being- repulsed from
French soil, tho Kaiser Is centraliz

PARIS, Sept. 15.
Reports have reached here that tho
allies' extremo left, after a circling
movement by way of Roye ai d Ham,
has Joined forces with fresh troops
from the coast and the Boulogne dis
trict, and compellod General von Kluk,
In command of the German right
wing, to surrender with 14,000 men, a
quantity of guns and much war material.
Another estimate places the prison
ers at 25,000.
Official confirmation of the report
cannot be obtained.
The German Crown Prince's army
has been repulsed In an attempt to
break through between Verdun and
Toul, it is officially announced.
Supported by reinforcements from
Belgium, the right wing of the retiring
German army under General von Kluk
rallied and gave battle to the allies
along a line north of the River Alsno.
Farther to the east, north of Rheims,
the Germans are also resisting, but the
retreat east of tho Argonno forest Is
reported to be continuing.
Tho centre of tho German army,
composed of the forces under the
Crown Prince, attacked the French
troops stretched along tho Meuse be
tween Verdun and Toul In an effort to
break through.
This Information was contained In
an ofTicial statement issued at 11
o'clock.
The evident Intention of the Crown
Prince was to pierce the French lines
so that his army can form a Junction
with troops east of the Meuse.
The following is the official state-ment:
"The Crown Prince's army attempted
to break through nlong the Meuse be
tween Verdun and Toul. He has bom
barded Troyon, which resisted vali
antly. The German forces were re
pulsed "It Is believed In well-informed cir
cles that the German army will re
treat into the Grand Duchy of Luxem
burg and Into the Belgian province
of Luxemburg, and endenvor to rally
behind their fortified positions "
The German lines now extend In a
southeastern direction, beginning at a
point northeast of Amiens and stretch
ing parallel to the Alsne. jiome 21
miles north of Ithelms, near Rethel
1!
(According to the French War Oflle
statement Issued early today, tho
French have succeeded In relieving the
fortress of Troyon, In the Woevre dis
trict, about 12 miles southeast of Ver
dun.) Although the German Crown Prince
has been compelled to move his head
quarters rearward 15 miles from Ste.
Menehoul to Mont Faucon, this seotior
of the German army will undouoi
make terrific efforts to hold Its positl
so it can act as a pivot for the ba.
ance of the German line.
An unofficial report to the effect thftt
Maubeuge had been relieved and 12,000
Germans had been taken prisoners
thero was in circulation here, but
lacked confirmation Such a develop
ment at Maubeuge would compel the
Germans to retire through the narrow
gap flanked by Maubeuge and Ver
dun. If they continued their retreat.

the German Government In Berlin lat
