Request for Armistice Refused

Near Verdun Allied Fleets

The development of a nev,drivb by ,
Ihe French right wing against the
German stronghold of Metz is indi
cated by this afternoon's official
Statement of . the Paris War Office,
which says thnt the French have, suc
ceeded in advancing their artillery
from Pont-a-Mousson and are bom
barding Arnavillc.
The French, therefore, are only a
little more than 10 miles from Metz.
If they succeed in investing that
fortress they will seriously threaten
the line of communication of the
Crown Prince's army and will be in
n position to compel its retreat.
The Germans have been repulsed
at Bahincourt, in the vicinity of Ver
dun, according to the French, state
ment, after which they asked for an
armistice, but the request was re
fused. Gains between Langemarck and
Sonnebeke, in Belgium, are claimed
by the French and near I-a Bussce
Indian troops have retaken trenches
that had been captured by the Ger
mans. British and French warships along
-the Flemish coast are again co-operating
vigorously with the Allied
armies on land in the effort to push
back the German lines and prevent
the new drive to the sea that seems
imminent.
Numerous coast towns have suffered
severely from the furious fire of the
bir naval guns, and in the vicinity of
Meuport, the Germans were caught
by a cross-fire from land and sea and
suffered heavy losses.
The Grand Duke Nicholas has won
b marked success during the last 10
days of fighting in Russian Poland.
German attempts to pierce the Rus
sian centre and strike at Warsaw have
been checked and the foe, pushed
back over the ground recently gained,
has been compelled to retreat along
b 40-mile front.
Berlin reports that no decision has
been reached in the general engage
ment between the Warthe and Vistula
.Rivers. It is admitted that strong
reinforcements have been dispatched
to strengthen General von Hinden
burgs army in the Polish battle zone.
Austrian forces, by a strategic re
treat, lured a Russian army into the
Carpathian passes and" inflicted heavy
damage on the snared foe from a score
of batteries planted in advance and
from troops posted in the steep de
files. Vienna advices reporting this
victory announce that Russian casu
alties were 25.000 sind that the second
Invasion of Hungary has been com

LUMBER YARD FIRE
SPREADS OVER WIDE
AREA IN SALEM, N.J.
Dwelling and Several Stores
and Barns Destroyed ; Ho
tel Damaged Loss is
$130,000.
SALEM, N. J.. Nov. SS.-FIre, which
started this afternoon In a lumber yard,
threatened to spread to the business sec
tion when high winds drove the flames
toward Broadway. The total loss Is
estimated at J130.000, with less than SO
per cent. Insurance. The flames were got
tinder cdntrol shortly before 5 p. m.
In addition to the Smith-Davis Com
pany's lumber yard, a double dwelling,
several barns and four stores wero de
stroyed and a hotel was greatly dam
aged, ,
Had there not been a vacant lot be
tween the lumber sheds and New Mnr
ftet street, nothing would have prevented
the fire from sweeping through Walnut
Street. The Smlth-Davls Lumber Com
pany suffers a loss of J100.CO). which is
partly covered by Insurance.
Lucius E. Hires, owner of the double
dwelling, loses $3000, John and Leonard
Wilson, proprietors of the Schaefer
House, $12,000. The handsomo new high
school building was damaged by the heat.
Several residences on Chestnut street
were on Are, but here the (lames were
soon under control.
The fire started In the lumber yard ot
the Bmlth-Davis Company, which Is In
the centre of the city. The four fire com
panies worked heroically with the assist
ance of firemen from Woodstown, who
wero summoned Immediately by tele
phone. There was an abundance of water, for
In addition to that furnished from the
plant at Quin,ton water was pumped into
the msjns by 'the powerful engines of the
II. J. Heinz, Company and the American
Qllelatfc Cojnnany
It ts believed that the Are originated
In the burning of leaves on Carpenter
street near the sheds of the Smith-Davis
Company, and the sparks spread stf rap
Idly that a large pile of lumber and part
of the, shed were soon Ablate. Most of
the lumber was under sheds, which cov
ered an area 390 by 100 feet, and the nigh
winds saeo carried the tajw the eallro
length of these.
It was Impossible for the flreraen to
save any part of the lumber yard, so all
attention was directed io saving the ad

So close did the fire come to the pot

Public Service Commission's

!
Inquiry Undetermined.
Commuters Ask Attorney Gen
eral to Investigate Their
1 Charge of Coi'spirficy New
Jersey Board Will Act.
Coincident with a petition nddressed to
day to Thomas W. Gregory, Attorney
General of the United Htntes, to Institute
nn Immediate Investigation ot the pro
posed Increase In railroad passenger
ntes, the question has arisen In llnrrls-
Ifurg'ns to whether or not-tlio Public Serv
ice Commlsilon has the powor to pi event
tlio Increase until the commission lins
passod upon tho new schedule.
It In charged In tho petition, which was
in the form of a letter, thnt tho railroads
have enteicd Into a conspiracy in viola
tion ot tho Sherman nntl-trust law.
None of tho commissioners nt Jlnrrls
burg will say anything, nor will any of
tho employes, except to state that nn
agreement probably will be reached at
Trlday's preliminary hearing In Phila
delphia. It Is contended by many that
tho commission hns the authority to pro
vent a proposed change of rate from
irolng Into effect until It has had suffi
cient tlmo to conduct n public hearing
and reach a correct conclusion. It Is
pointed out thnt there Is a fundamental
distinction between the suspension of a
rate already In existence, which would
leave a vacuity, and the temporary re
fusal to permit a perhaps unlawful rate
from going Into effect until tho question
may be determined, nnd which leaves the
old rate In existence.
The advocates who contend that the
commission may Issue an order that the
rate be not permitted to go Into effect
until the commission determines Its va
lidity, deolare that If It Is found Illegal
to Issue such an order the act creating
the commission ought to 'be amended so
as to make provision for such oases.
SIX ITEMS POINTED TO.
Six speolflo Items In the program of
rate changes as announced by the rail
roads are cited In the petition sent to
Washington, as features which "ap
pear to be the result of an agreement
or collusion" on, the part of the Penn
sylvania, the Philadelphia nnd Reading
and the Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad
The Items which, according to the com
plaint, should serve as a basis for an
Investigation by the Attorney General's
department are:
"First. All 60 and 100 trip tickets dis
continued,
"Second,
tlnued.
All round trip tickets rtlbcon-
"Third. All package tickets of ten In

"Fourth. All rates for school children

"Fifth. All 60-trip monthly tickets ad

"Sixth. The announcement of the

the discontinuance of privileges appear
to be simultaneous."

a Central High player.
During the first two periods of play"
neither team was nblo to get within
striking distance of tho goal. Howover.
both Voss nnd Webb took long chances
In attempting field goals. Each was wide
of tho murk. In theso early rounds of
play the defense of both teams was mora
powerful than offense. After tho field,
had been cleared during the Intermis
sion between tho third nnd fourth pe-.
rlods the players appeared to put mora
spirit In their work.
Shortly after the third quarter had
opened an exchange of kicks gave Cen
tral High tho big advantage, tho ball
being In her own possession on her oyn
7-jard line. From behind his goal line)
Butler punted out of bounds on theSS

that point to Central's 13-jtard Hno by

Instead of allowing Butler, who had been;
gaining, to try to make the distance,
Gotwals called for a fprward pass, which
was Incomplete, and Central High had
lost a golden opportunity to score a touch
down and win the game.
During the last few minutes of play.
Central made desperate attempts to maka
