AND IN ALSACE
Planned by Kaiser
Lines in Drive on
Attempt to Clear
PARIS, July 7.
The Germans are planning a mighty
stroke In Alsace, according to reliable re
ports that reached the War Office today.
Tho withdrawal of rolling stock from tho
German railways leading Into Switzer
land Is preliminary to a new German
offensive. Tho Teutons will attempt to
sweep tho French back out of Alsace
upon their own frontier.
Small bodies of German reinforcements
already have arrived In the valley of the
Techt and the arrival of great masses
of troops from Galicla Is reported.
Tho German war program, according to
reports brought hero today, now calls
for these steps:
First Completion of tho drive, to sweep
tho Russians entirely out of Galicla.
Second Isolation of the Russian army
In eastern and southeastern Galicla from
tho Russian forcos In Poland and a prob
able new offensive against Warsaw.
Third An offensive to free Gorman soil
completely of tho enemy by driving tho
French out of Alsace and a great drive
to reach Calais.
Fourth Peace overtures.
Advices from several Bources agree that
Germany Is tiring of tho war and has
determined to bring It to an end, if pos
sible, within a few months, whllo she Is
In tho most advantageous position since
tho battle of tho Marnc.
French military men, however, declared
today that the Germans have made their
greatest miscalculation In their plans for
a sudden, rushing victory In Alsace. The
mistakes of the first French Invasion of
the "lost province'," when the French, at
tho beginning of tho war, entered Alsaco
and were quickly driven out, will not be
repeated. -.
Slnco the last French offensive captured
Metzeral and drove tho Germans out of
Important positions before Kolmar, the
French hae "dug themselves In" behind
tcrttlled works een stronger than thoso
north of Arras. Consequently-, the word
that Altaco Is to be tho new battle ground
for the German armies from Galicla has
aroused no fears hero.
FOE'S LINES
our positions on the crest south of the
Sonvaux ravine was checked oy our
heavy fire. The Germans attacked at
the same time to the west of the crest,
where they were likewise repulsed.

the forest of Apremont, At a single point
In tho region of Vaux-Fery he succeeded
In penetrating Into our first line on a
front of about 700 yards. At every other
point he was repulsed with heavy losses.

800 French soldiers were taken prisoners.

MINEOLA, N. Ti, JMly 7.-The bbdy of
Frank Holt, who shot J. P. Morgan antl
last night killed himself, was today Iden
tified positively as that of Erich Muentor,
tho missing Harvard professor, who In
1806 murdered hlB wife. Two Cambridge
witnesses, S. T. Bmltli, State police offi
cer of Massachusetts, and T. W. Helllor,
who lived. In tho same house with Muen
ter for nine months, declared the sui
cide and Muenter were one nnd tne
same.
mth took the Bertlllon measurements
of tho body. They tallied exactly with
thoso of Muenter. Ho was further Identi
fied by means of a gold tooth filling,
which was one of Muenter's distinguished
marks. District, Attorney Smith has come
to the conclusion that the dead man was
tho fugitive ho poisoned his wife.
-It was determined at an autopsy today
that Morgan's assailant ended his life by
a 15-foot plunge In his cell that broke his
skull on tho cement floor.
After performing tho autopsy, Dr. Guy
F. Cleghorn satJ.
"The autopsy Ahowed a fracture at the
base of the skull. There Is no doubt that
Holt Jumped to his death. There were
no powder burns on the face or mouth."

COMMUTERS FIND WAY
TO "GET SQUARE" ON
WIfcLOWGROVE TRAINS
By Use of 'Excursion Tick
ets Riders Are Able to
Save Krom 2 to 20 Cents
on Round Trip Despite
Increase in Rates.
Persona using the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway trains from stations
near Willow Grove at last have discovered
a way to get square with the railroad for
L Its recent Increase In passenger rates.
Every passenger may save from z to zo
cents on a return trip, according to the
destination. The. best of the whole thing
from the standpont of the traveler Is
that he is acting etitlidy within his legal
rights In "beating" the railroad and the
company has no way to retaliate.
The anomalous situation was brought
about by the special excursion rates to
Willow Grove, which the Reading put Into
effect when the park opened. In the
case of other stations lying between
Philadelphia and the park or those be
yond the park, the rotes remained the
same, and. Instead of having to pay
according to the number of miles, pas
sengers soon learned that In some cases
a longer ride to Willow Grove was cheap
er than a shorter ride to Intermediate
stations' The answer, of course, was
buy a return ticket to Willow Grove and
get oft 'tho train at the desired Btatlon
this side of the park.
The return fare to Willow Grove, a dls
ttnee of -about 11 miles. Is W cents! the
single fare 26 cents The return fare to
Glenslda the first station this side of Wil
low Grave and only 119 mile from, the
