On the Russian frontier the Germans are reported as having given up
their offensive movement in Poland, the Russians having advantage in the
fighting near Marianpol, having prevented the Germans from taking the
fortress of Ossowicc. In Galicia the Russians are continuing their advance
toward Cracow, though the Austrians claim that the invaders have been driven

timato Insight into International tela-tlurw
ITALIAN SWINDLER AGAIN
WORKS SMOOTH GAME
Fleeces Countryman Out of $80 and
Escapes Capture.
A swindling Italian who preys upon his
Ignorant countrymen caught his third
victim nt Broad Street Station this morn
ing, and as a icsult the police have
redoubled their efforts to capture thu
man. The name of the victim was with
held by the police and the Italian Con
sul, to whom ho was sent for aid.
According to the story i elated to tho
police, the sti anger Is an Italian laborer
from Western Pennsylvania. He was on
his way back to Italy to join his wife
and child following the receipt of a cablo
Ki.im setting forth that tho wife Is dan
gerously ill. IVhen he reached Broad
Street Station today he hnd $S0 In cash.
A well-dressed countryman accosted hi in
as he walked Into the train shed, and
described himself as an agent for an
Italian Protective Soolcty. Tho swindler
declared that strange Italians frequently
are rooDeu wnen tlioy arrive in the city
nnd said that tho object of the society
was to protect them.
He then produced a number of engraved
papers covered with 3eals as credentials.
Ills society, ho said, ran a bank In which
Italians could place their money until
they needed It. The bank paid seven
per cent. In advance he said.
ImpresEcd by the suave manner of the
swindler, the laborer gave up his $30.
The swindler then offered to show him
to the Italian Consul's, but ns soon as tho
two got Into the crowd outside Broad
direct nation tno man disappeared. Then
the laborer bocamo suspicious, notified a
tiafllc policemen and was sent to the
detective bureau.
Tho police say that this Is the third
case of tills kind within a month. A
sharp watch has been kept at Broad
Street Station, but each time the thief
has managed to elude the detectives. A
description of tho man has been obtnlned
nuncier. nnu irom now on the watch will
bo redoubled.
The victim of the swindling game was
chiefly worried because he feared ho
would be unable to get back to Italy, but
It s understood that the Italian Consulate
will send him to his native land.

KAISER'S PERSONAL ORDER
BROUGHT VON HAUSEN HOME
"Shake-up" of Staff Due to "Bad
Strategy," Is Berlin Rumor.
BBBLIN, Oct. i.
Constant nnd apparently welUgroundecl
reports prevail hero that tho Kaiser has
shaken up hla General BtafT and replaced
at lenst one general nt the front, because
of the bnd strategy and worse tactics
which have compelled tho Germans to
fight again to recover French territory
which they once held( especially around
Ilhelmr.
General Von Hauson, formerly Minister
of War In Saxmny, Is the general men
tlonal ns having boen deposed and re
placed by the Kaiser's porsonal orders,
Ho oonimnndsd Army No. 3, also known
as tho Army of Saxony. Wo ban been
succeeded by General von Elncm, for
morly War Minister In Prussia.
While It has been generally known
that Von Hansen hnd been replaced, It
was said that his 111 health was the
cause. But Berlin has now heard that
It was the Kaiser's dissatisfaction with
thin general's operations In the field that
caused tho "Illness of convenience," which
resulted In his withdrawal from the front
and the appointment of Von Klncm to
succeed him,
Tho bad three weeks thnt Germnny lias
had In Franco, after hor earlier successes,
have created a feeling of doubt In tho
capital, but Just ns this feeling was be
ginning to shako the confidence of the
country In tho final outcome the news
of tho nchlevemcnts of the submarine U-9,
under Captain Weddgon, In sinking tho
Aboitklr, Huguc and Cressy, came to ro
storo a mensuro of confidence and dissi
pate thu gathering doubts.
UNITED STATES TROOPS
TO STAY IN MEXICO
Evacuation of Vera Cruz Indefinitely
Postponed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The evacuation
of Vera Cruz, originally scheduled for Oc
tober 1, today was delayed until October
11 nt the earliest, and It Is probablo that
the American troops will not lcavo the
Mexican fort for some tlmo after that
date, on account of the uncertainty of tho
situation In the Interior.
Following the receipt of dispatches In
dicating thnt the Villa revolt Is gaining
gruuiU If the north of Mexico, Counselor
Lansing, of the State Department, re
quested Major General Wotherspoon, chief
of staff, not to move the troops for some
time. Instructions accordingly were sent
to Genernl Funston not to commence
preparations for departure until after Oc
tober II.
War Department officials today ndmlttcd
that the actual date of the evacuation
of Vera Cruz Is "very problematical."
It depends not only on tho result of the
various revolutions now In progress, but
on the outcome of tho peace conferences
scheduled for next week, and on tho
willingness of the lenders In Mexico to
accept the Cnrrnnza government at tho
port of Vera Cruz.
The otllclnl explanation for tho delay
In the evacuation Is that "the details of
the shift of the Civil Government cannot
be successfully worked out in a short
time."

Rugs
A ceriaiini man has a very fine conceit So his collection
off Oriental Rings. Indeed, he had a new hoiiase built
and specially made fireproof to the end that what he
regards as his treasures may be secure.
When he was in tf.his Oriental Rug Store a few days
ago, he told us that he had rugs displayed in his home as
we have them in this store so that he might fully enjoy
And he said that rugs were a very great part off
made his life worth while, and that sometimes
when he returns home and goes amongst his fine pieces
and looks into the magic deeps of their incomparable
colorings, the deBight which he feels becomes ecstatic,
almost intoxicating.
It was good to hear a man off that kind say that he
knew of no collection of rugs on sale to compare with
that which we have now in this store. He was moved
to say this largely by the assortment of rare and
unduplicatable pieces which we have been unbaling for
some days past, and which will be one of the unique
riemttaJ Rm Exhilbiftioim a nnd
