Upon Rovno Front by
Fresh Assaults
PETROanAD, Oct. .
Sever nrjw storms are now raging in
the nal'llc'provlnccs where Field Marsh.rt
von Illnilenburg't campaign agalnat nlna
and Minsk hn thus far completely
failed. Petrograd military exports assert
ed today that th German efforts to make
these two cities their winter quarters had
apparently collapsed.
The omclat reports of operations along
the entire front from the Baltic to nuko
nlna show a slackening In activity.
While this In r measure la due to the
snow In the north and heavy rains on
the southern wing. It Is believed here
that the Germans have withdrawn a
Kreat part of their forces for the Servian
i.impalgn and for operations In the west
ern theatre.
French reports that Field Marshal von
Atackepsen has been selected to lead
the Austro-Oerman army that Invades
tervla are generallT accepted here.
In some sectors the Husalans are har
assing the Germanic allies and by ener
getically developing separate engagements
are gradually Improving their positions.
German attempts to reach the Earny
railway Junction, north of llovno, were
checked by the Russians, who success
fully crossed the River StryJ at Polenne,
the point where the Kovel-Samy Railway
crosses the river.
When arrested the Teutons were 13
miles west of Sarny. The Russian suc
cess here Is bound to nffect the fight In
ithe region of Kolkl, for It threatens the
Teutons In the rear.
Determined efforts are being made by
the Germans to revive their left wing In
the region of Dvinsk by reinforcements
and the use of heavy guns. Their object
Is the capture of both banks of the "West
ern Dvlna.
This prospect Is tempting as offering
the subsequent seizure of a railway con
nection to Petrograd. Their chances of
success, however, are srnaller now than
they were a fortnight ago.

GREEK CABINET FOLLOWS
VEN1ZEL0S IX RESIGNATION
ATHEN8, Oct. .
Premier Venlzelos announced In the
Chamber of Deputies today that the Cabi
net had resigned owing to differences be
tween King Constantlne and the Ministry.
The sittings of the Chamber were then
suspended.
Venlzelos explained that the Cabinet
had found It Impossible to alter the pro
gram agreed upon, even to meet the
wishes of the throne, and that the resig
nation of the Ministers was therefoie
necessary.
The resignations were presented today
following as a matter of course the re
tirement of Tremler Venlzelos, whose
earlier resignation the King formally ac
cepted. The fall of the Cabinet and suspension
of the preliminary sessions leaves King
Constantlne In full mastery of the situa
tion. The King's leanings are strongly
pro-German, owing to the dominance of
his wife, Queen Sofia, favorite sister of
the Kaiser.
PAltIS, Oct. .
A battle of decisive character Is believed
to be Imminent on the Anglo-French
front. Artillery (Ire has been breaking
over the tienchea on both sides for W
hours without Interruption. The Germans
nre massing reserves to meet expected at
tacks and to launch counter offensives.
Thr greatest activity Is reported fiom
La Dassee south of Arras. The Germans
have been knelling the Hrltlsh positions
for manv hours, evidently In prepftiatlon
for an Infantry thrust.
Along the Champagne front the Teutons
have emerged from their trenches at sev
eial points planning bomb raids on the
French works.
Further progress by French troops In
the Artols district is announced In to
day s official communique. The War Of
fice leports that both the oppolng armies
aro keeping up a violent bombardment In
mnnj sectors.
The communique follows.
"The bombardment by both sides has
continued In Artols, being particularly
violent to the south of Glvenchy forest.
We made some progress by usln
grenades In the connecting trenches lo
the southwest of the Chateau of Fole
"On all the rest of the front there were
reported last night only artillery engage
ments on both sides In Chnmpagne, be
tween the Mouse and Moselle, to the
north of Flierey and on the Lorraine
front In the vicinity of I.elntrey, Gon

He leturned to the embassy and drafted
the note fully meeting the President's de

pattment shortly after noon. This was
done without further consulting his Gov

might repudiate his settlement Is regard
ed Inconceivable.
Another dispute with Germany over the
sinking of the American schooner Wil

Accused Man Exhausted When Ar
rested on Turnpike
Patrick Patton, who. the police say,
shot and killed an itinerant umbrella
mender who went by the name of
"Dutch" early yesterday on the estate
of William Beechwood. In Haverford
township, was arrested this nfternoon by
Constable William S. Thompson, of Dar
by, nt Toll Gale No. 3 on the West
Chester pike
Patton was nearly exhausted when cap
tlirtd. He had tied after the shooting
and had been hiding In the woods with
out food or shelter. He had captiously
made his way from the scene of the crime
by following paths through the woods
and had emerged below tho toll gate.
Thompson had been on the man's trail
sluco the shooting and caught him a few
minutes after he reached the pike.
According to the Constable, Patton ad
mitted heshct the umbrella mender, but
said he did not know the man was dead
until told so by Thompson. He wns fed
and taken to Media at once.
The victim of the shooting has been
a man o"f mystery to the residents of
Delaware County. For years hn has
been wandcrlmf through that section of
the Stnte. No one knows where he had
lived. He seldom spoke about himself
and on one occasion, when asked where

A severe criticism of the shipment to

by E. M. Fenton, before tho weekly
luncheon of the Rotary Club at the

He said that dead men neither created
nor consumed, and that the lois of mil

have no 'other than' a reactionary effect
on Industry In this country. He said
anybody who aided the progress of -the
war by lending money to the participat
