to six weeks more of winter. At least
that has been the custom. There Is some
little difference this year, however, due
to tho fact that the "more" in the story,
a far as the present season is concerned,

GERMANS DRIVE RUSSIANS
BACK TOWARD WARSAW
Petrograd Admits Retirement to Bee
ona Trench Line.
PETJtOaUAD, Teb. 2.
Field Marshal von Itlndenburg's new
thrust at Warsaw alrcndy has cost the
Germnns 0000 killed nnd many more In
wounded nnd prisoners, according to ad
missions made by captives and announced
In today's official Russian report, which
admits tho Czar's forces were driven to
their second llnoof trenches.
General attack along the entire Warsaw
front lias developed. Admission Is mado
hero of a tenacious offensive from tho
Junction of tho Bzura and Vistula to the
Plllca.
Military activity recently has been con
fined to limited spheres, but tha events
of the last few days are regarded as In
dicative of a change In tactics, Especial
rlgnincanco Is attached to tho great vio
lence) with which tho Germans are resum
ing their attacks In the Wyszogrod dis
trict, at the Junction of the Bzura and
Vistula Rivers, and further south near
Bollmow.
Tho battling along tho Bzurn, west of
Warsaw, has cost tho Germans heavy
losses. General von Mackensen hurled
six regiments against the Russian posi
tions southwest of Sochaczew In repeated
charges for four days. His object was to
cut a path toward Warsaw that would
Cause nn abandonment of tho Russian
campaigns toward Thorn and Kocn'gs
berg. i
Heavy artillery tore great gaps In the
Germans' lines. While tho Infantry was
engaged a force of German sappers tun
neled their wny nearly 100 yards to the
first line of Russian trenches. By chnnca
a Russlnn officer discovered the mouth of
the tunnel ns a little group of Germans
came 'pouring out. They were made pris
oners. Two machine guns were rushed
to tho mouth of the tunnel and n com
pany of Germans was slaughtered under
ground. By weight of numbers the Germans
forced the Czar's army at this point to
retire from their first line of trenches
nnd followed up this advantage by shell
ing the Russians out of their second line
positions. Reinforcements wcro brought
up and the Germans forced to evacuate
the captured positions, with the exception
or 100 yards of trenches on the Russian
right. "N
RUSSIANS STRIKE AT FOE
ON SOUTH SIDE OF VISTULA
Force Passage of Strategic Blver
Northwest of Wloclawek.
-rETROGRAD. Feb. 2.
RusBlan forces operating north of tho
Vistula have forced a passage to the left
bank. Desperate fighting took place at
the villages of Makow and Dyblln on tho
south side. -
Ae a result of the Russian drive the
Gormans, who have held the southern
shore of tho river for some time, were at
this point thrown back to the lino of
villages of Weleze and Kastgnewo, north
west of Wloclawek.
The ofllctal report containing details of
these movements Is silent as to their
extent. It Is probable that the Vistula
passage was forced by bodies of Cossacks
and otjher cavalry. The Cossocks have
been particularly acjlvo In tho general
campaign in this zone, the objective bl
which Is Thorn. The new drlvo brinks
tho Czar's forces to a point 25 miles south
east of Thorn, and may Indicate an en
deavor to reach the fortress' from this di
rection by an auxiliary movement. If the
operation is one of great strength which
apparently Is not the case, It may mean
the development of a menace to tho rear
of the German army fronting Warsaw.
The Germans In retreating abandoned
many of their wounded at Makow.

TINGE REVEALED BY
DETECTIVE'S.'BLUPF
Man Suspected of Robbery
Confesses Murder in Tur
key in Reply to Chance
Query.
A romance with a tragic termination,
the threads of which lend to a remote
Turkish village In Asia Minor, developed
todny In what was at first an Insignifi
cant robbery case. Tho prlclpals In tho
caso aro two Turks, one living and one
dead, n beautiful Turkish woman and
two City Hall detectives. Tho romance
may bo entitled "The Man Who Slandered
Himself."
Detectives Hodge and Oscar Brown
were detailed to tho Marceau Studio,
1609 Chestnut street, last Monday, to in
vestigate a roDbery entailing a loss of
$32. Armon Roublan, a tall, handsome
Turk employed at the studio, was among
thoso questioned by the detectives. To
carry out un Idea which flashed through
his brain as tha detectives wero about to
leaio the studio, Brown fixed an enig
matic gaze upon the Turk and asked htm:
"You were arrested before, weren't
you?
"I was," replied the Turk.
"Now let's see, I think It was for
murder," ventured the detective, carrying
his "bluff" a bit furthor.
"Yes," drawled out tho Turk, "It hap
pened In Turkey."
"Oh. we know all about It," rejoined
Brown. "Would you mind accompanying
us to City Hall?"
After nouban was In a cell, the de
tectives communicated with the Turkish
Consul In Now York, and received from
him the Information that his compatriot
was wanted In Turkey for murder. It
developed that In a, auarrel over a beau
tiful woman, In the village of Marash,
Asiatic Turkey, B,oublan killed his rival
suitor, noublan was sentenced td prison
after the murder, but made his escape
In 1911 by bribing the keeper and made
his way Into this country through mys
terious channels,
Boublan, "the Turk who slandered him
self," was today confined In a closed
room at the Immigration Station at
Gloucester, from where he will be de
ported to Turkey as quickly as the au
thorities can arrange for the trip.

WRECKS BRIDGE

Werner Van Horn, Officer
in Kaiser's Army, Cap
tured in Maine, Confesses
to Causing Explosion.
VANCEBOPO, Me., Feb. 2 -The steel
bridge over the Bt. Croix Itlver. from
Vanccboro, Me , to McAdam Junction. N.
B., nn important link In tho Maine Cen
tral and the .Canadlrn Pacific Rallwav
over w hlch moBt of tho Avar shipments of
food and horsrs have been Bent to St.
John, N. B., was damaged by a dynamite
explosion shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning.
A; Oerman officer, who gave his name
as "Werner Van Horn, was arrested on
American soil, nnd confessed to trying
to blow up the bridge.
Van Horn confessed not only to causing
tho explosion that damaged the Candlnn
end of the brlge, but said he had also In
tended d)nnmitlng the Maine Central
bridge at Lambert Lake, eight miles be
low Vanceboro, over which tho Candlan
Pacific runs, and also the International
Bridge between Calais, Me., and St. Ste
phens, N. II,
He said he had been In Mexico nnd be
fore coming to Maine had attempted un
successfully to get back to Germany.
The blowing up of the bridge, he said,
had been prearranged, and the dynamite
was delivered to him at Vanceboro by a
man he had never seen before nnd who
left him Immediately after placing the
explosive In his hands.
DYNAMITE CAP IN POCKET.
A dynamite cap, which he had in his
pocket, Van Horn gave to George B.
Hoss, the deputy Bherlfl who arrested
him, as a souvenir. Showing the officers
the map of this section of Maine and In
dicating tho bridge on It, he asked If the
Vanceboro bridge was the one he had
dynamited.
He has been here since Saturday, when
he came to Vanceboro from New York,
and has had plenty of time to familiarize
himself with the surrounding)..
Boss, who went to Van Horn's room at
the Page Hotel to arrest him this morn
ing, stated that when he and the other
officers entered tho room, Van Horn
darted townrd him with a revolver, but
Boss took the weapon from him.
Van Horn was examined by ofllclals of
Washington County. Acting District At
torney Chapman, of Portland, was at
once notified of tho nrreat and at the
some time the Federal authorities at
Washington wiro apprised of the situa
tion. HAD QEBMAN FLAG AND CHAP.T,
No charge has been made again Van
Horn. Word Is awaited from the United
States Marshal In regard to what shall
be done with the prisoner. Recording to
Boss, Van Horn snld It was "within his
rlqht to blow up the bridge aa an act of
war," He speaks broken English.
A German flag and a chart of this sec
tion were found In Van Horn's pockets.
The- Governor of the province of New
Brunswick has been notified by Canadian
Pacific ofllclals and has ordered an Inves
tigation begun at once. The railroad ofll
clals asked that this Investigation be In
ternational In scope.
The eastern part of the stone piers
Which support the bridge was damaged
by some high explosive. The detonation
rocked (he houses In Vanceboro, shattered
the windows of the railroad station and
alarmed the residents on the Canadian
side of the river,
CHOSE STORMY NIGHT FOB DEED,
The steel girders of the last two span
at the Canadian end of the bridge were
strained out of shape. Not only was the
third pier, that toward the Canadian end
of the bridge, damaged, bi)t It Is believed
that the straining of the steel structure
has impaired to a great extent the entire
bridge, and extensive repairs may b
necessary.
Jtullroad ofllclals said the bridge could
he repaired within two or three das. It
i possible that Van Horn used nitro
glycerin. Neither the Maine Central nor the Ca
nadlan Pacific Hallway can advance any
motive- other than ope arising from the
war shipments There has been no guard
of Canadian soldiers on duty at the
bridge.
Hull road men intimated, before the ar
rest of Van Horn, thatOermana or Ger
man sympathizers eeizeU the opportu
nity on a stormy night, at a time when
traffic over the bridge was slack, to out
into the transportation line over which
Canada has been shipping most of Its prc

Councils' Finance Committee
to Urge Passage by Legis
i lature of Bill Creating New
Division.
DfTorts of Councils' Committee on Legis
lation to have tho Legislature pass a
housing bill to replace the pleasure creat
ing tho Division of Housing and Sanita
tion wnj denounced todny by directors of
the Philadelphia Housing Commission as
a schemo to create Jobs for Republican
Organization workers.
Governor Brumbaugh will be appealed
-jam 'suDtotsMtd 'sjjadxa Jfuianon A oj
chants and civic workers to oppose the
new bill, which arrived In Harrlsburg to
day. The measure hns the Indorsement of
Chairman John P. Connelly, of Councils'
Flnanco Committee, as well as Select
Councilman Charles Segcr, of the 7th
Waid.
Investigation of tho wards represented
by deger and ConnelljT both of whom
refused to vote In favor of appropriations
for the Division of Housing, disclosed that
they contained hundreds of insanitary
dwellings.
Owners of house which have been called
"living vaults," "dens of sonow," "cave
rooms" and "Siberian cells ' aro also
backing the new bill. Many of the own
ers of property where disease is devel
oped, according to rccqrds,i belong to tlu
International Tenement Owners' Associa
tion. The headquarters of this -organization
Is located in Soger's ward. .
In framing the new bill, Councllmcn
wero careful to eliminate many up-to-date
Improvements which tho housing
tone, passed In 1913, cnlled for.
No mention Is mado of running water
In kitchens, nor Is there a word about
plumbing. The housing code ns passed
by the last Legislature called for large
windows and other Improvements, which,
according to physicians, would have aided
In keeping down the death toll among
Infants.
The plans of the Organization Council
men Is to create a department and have
It divided Into four bureaus, which aro
to be known as Bureau of Hospitals.
