Small boys were tickled to death when they sniffed tho frost. Frost means tho opening of tho chestnut burr. A burr opened by frost means that tho chestnut is ripe.

The telegram was signed by IB generals on the staff of General Villa, Including Oneral Felipe Angeles, Eugenlo Bena vldos, rtaoul Madeio and Callxto Con tieras. The publication, of this telegram here ci fated a sensation. Genera! Alvaro Obrcgon and the other followers of Carranza. who were sent to tfiat at once with Villa's representatives, are believed to be In Aguas Callentes: but this conference Is seoarate nnd ills. tlnct from the big convention called for net niniitn. on October 6. Military preparations are still going foiward, and General Carranza now has stions army In the Held to oppose Gen eral Villa's division of the North. PBTROGRAD, Sept. 23, Breslau, In Sllesln, 190 miles from Ber lin, Is now believed to be the main Rus sian objective. Cracow, which the Rus sians' northern column Is nearlng, will be lnvcste-1 by a large army, following the precedent set nt Przemysl. A million men nrc reported engaged in this move ment. Tho northern column has assaulted Tarnow and a pitched battle Is now In progress there. The Austrlans are put ting up a strong resistance but they are greatly outnumbered. With Tarnow In possession of tho Russians the last ob staclo In the way of the slcgo of Cracow will have been lemoved. Dumbrlcko, a railroad station on tho way to Tarnow, has already been captured. It Is now apparent that the movement through Gallcla Is the main offensive of tho Russian nrmy. It developed to day that Grand Duke Nicholas, the commander-in-chief, Is with the forces there, which number more than 1,000,000 men. Tho armies, proceeding along tho parallel lines of railway, are moving rapidly westward. With all the six Carpathian passes occupied by Russian troops nnd with strong forces on tin Hungarian plains Just south of theso points all dnnger of a possible flanking movement has been avoided. Conse quently there is now nothing to retard the moement. The pursuit by tho Russians of the Austrian army In Gallcla Is compared by the mllltaly exports here with General Kutozoff's pursuit of Napoleon's army from Moscow In 1812, nnd General Grant's hairjlng chnse of Lee's army in tho civil war In 1805. The victorious Russian forces have al ready traversed more than half of the route from Przemysl to Cracow and the latter Is now only four days' march dis tant. Tho northern Russian column Is mov ing much more rapidly than the south ern one. This is believed here to Indi cate they expect the Austrian rctient, when It come3, tn be toward the south, nnd the nrmy moving In that direction will bo able to cut off their retreat. OUT FOR DR.

A forco of German naval reserves, de clared to number 23.000. taken into Bel glum from Kiel and Hamburg, Is re poited to be Intended by the Germans for a selge of Antwerp. Private ndvlces fiom Germany recently hnve Intimated thnt the Kaiser Is determined to capture Antwerp. It Is believed by some, however, that tho naval reservists have been brought Into Brussels lo garrison the tnivn. n.m. pled by the Germans, and release the military detachments for active fighting ngainst the Allies. Confirmation of tho approach of a new allied army from the west Is also seen In the sending of the fleet reservists for fighting on land. After a .seveie bombardment, the Ger mans have occupied Mechlin, about 13 miles south of this city, according to an oincinivannounccment given out today by the War Office. The Germans hnve been carrjlng on n. hard bombardment of the forts at Wavre, St. Catherine and Wneltham. about ten miles from the temporary Belgian cap ital, but the fire of tho forts has not ceased.

It was not known until today that Great Britain had ordered two warships to pntrol the entrance of the Delaware Bay to break up tho practice of supply ing the German cruisers Karlsruhe and Dresden from this port. Several weeks ago the cruiser Essex was seen there. Slip was lcllovod by the converted auxiliary cruiser Caronla and today nn other vessel, believed to be the Brltlnnnla, made her appearance. The cruiser seen by several Incoming esscls has four funnels nnd Is constructed along the same lines as the Ciessy, Abouklr and Hogue, sunk a few das ago by Gormnn submarines. The watchful waiting policy of tho Caronla nnd her reinforce ment, shipping men stated today, did more to mnke Captain Axelscn, of tho Sommerstnd, "aTid Captain Grlndhclm, of tho Finm, to change their minds about delivering their cargoes than did orders from tho owners of their vessels. Each master was In a fair way to win a small foitune for his work, but tho fear of be ing captured and Imprisoned until the end of the wnr made them decide to sur render the clearance papers and remain In port until a neutral cargo could re place the contraband stowed In the holds. The Department of Commerce and Jus tice, upon the request of the British Gov ernment, has taken up the shipment of contraband from various American ports. In addition to Investigating the case of the Sommerstad and Fram, they nra looking after the American steamship Lorenzo and Norwegian steamship Thor, both of which were captured in the act uf delivering coal to German war ves sels. A significant fact in the capture of the Thor is that she was under charter bv the Inter-American Steamship Com pany of New York, the same concern which has contracted for the, Sommer stad nnd Fram. It Is also said that this company emplojed the four other Nor wegian tenmhlps sailing from here the la-.t two mouths with similar cargoes ' On of them, the Heina, was captured off St Thomas, D W I., by a Fiench ' cruiser.
