4 LONDON. Oct. 9.
Sharp attacks and countcr-nttneks mark
the fighting on the northern part of the
ltueslati front, but with little material
pain for cither side. Several times the
Germans have shown Blgns uf developing
a great attack against Dvlnsk, which
I 'tlll Is tho centre of operations, but be
lt jond taking a few jardu of trenches they
iitiako no progress, while the Hussion at-
.V? ticks along the whole line Bcem to grow
ft itronger.
Tnere is reneweu (miliary acuvuy on me
northern end of the Russian front from
Dvln'k to Novo Grodek. The heaviest
fighting Is In the nclghboihood of Dvlnsk,
to tre south of which tho Germans litxCo
had some success. On tho whole, how
ever, tho Russians have been able to
withstand their assaults.
The Germans have succeeded In cross
ing the Viliya, north of Smorcon, en
abling them to co-ordlnato their forces
north and south of this point.
Apparently both Germans and Russians
are waiting until winter sets In nnd the
frozen ground again makes movements on
a large scale possible.
Concentration of considerable German
forces In the vicinity of Tarnapol, In
Gallcla, about 23 miles south of tho fron
tier. Is believed hero to be duo to political
conditions In tho Balkans than to an In

AUTO BANDITS HOLD UP
AND ROB TWO MEN ON
THE WHITE HORSE PIKE
Four Goggled Men Race at Ter
rific Speed Across South Jer
sey Roads in Night Raid
on Pedestrians
TAKE BASEBALL TICKETS
A large touring car bearing four kor
died men. which went Whirling over
White Horse pike last night at a terrific
tpced from Atc.o, N. J In the direction
of Camden, with Its muffler cut out and
which stopped only long enough for Its
Inmates to hold up Clyde Cooley, of Ches
ter, with his sweetheart, and later on a
frightened spectator, Ernest Peterson, ot
Atco, Is the only clue In a mjstcry that
Is puzzling nont only the two men who
suffered at the hands o'r the thugs, but
nil those who saw and heard the car go
nhlzzlng by.
Tho strange automobile was first no
ticed at Atco, wTilch Is about 12 miles
from Camden, by George J. Plowder. who
was walking alone the pike. He was
surprised first of nil by the noise of the
machine and then by the rate of speed
at which It passed him. Plowder declared
this morning that from the fleeting glance
he got of It. It was either dark blue or
black. Ho also thought he heard shots
a few minutes after It hud gone by him.
but of this he could not be sure because
of the popping of the engine.
A clearer Intimate knowledge of the
car was furnished by Charles Audlcy a
llttlo while afterward at Lucaston.
Audlcy was going along the road In a
dark place when the noisy machine pulled
up nnd tho driver called to him asking him
whether the road would take them directly
to Camden. He replied that It would, In
20 minutes. He noticed In tho body of
tho car threo men goggled bc.ond recog
nition. One of them hnd a small electric
flashlight, In the glare of which he was
studying n road map. Without thanking
him, Audlcy says the men drovo otT.
At Berlin, several people attracted by
the noise remarked upon the speed of the
car. At West Berlin the machine turned
off from the white Horse pike to the Berlin
pllte and began real activities with tho
meeting of Cooley.
Cooley had como up from Chester to
see his sweetheart nnd together they were
taking a constitutional. One of the men
In the auto called out and Inquired the
distance to Camden.
Coo'.cy estimated. The man sitting In
tlie middle of the back sent drew out
the map a.nd the flashlight, and asked
him tp come closer and Identify a part
of the road. He stepped up and, with
one foot on the runnlngboard and the
other In the cor, replied that he was not
cvactly familiar with the map.
Ho had hardly uttered the words, when
one of the men seized him by the throat
to prevent an outcry. Tho man on tho
far side relieved him of his watch and
stickpin. The one nearest held a- re
volver to his head. Then they threw him
out of the machine, the man with the
gun remarking that he would have his
brains blown out If he made a sound.
The hold-up men then sped away.
HAS SIX CROWDED HOURS
Borrows Bicycle; Falls Off; Goes to
Hospital; Gets Arrested
Harry Ruhl did all this In six hours:
Borrowed a bicycle; fell off; was picked
up by the police; was taken to a hos
pital: recovered; got the bicycle again;

The wheel belongs to 17-ycar-old JIarry
Turner, of 2007 North oth street. Ruhl
t who iald he has no home, fell off In front
of the police station yesterday and was
taken to the Episcopal Hospital suffering
with dropsy. When he got out ho told
the wheel to Myer Rablnowltz, of Camao
and Dauphin streets.

3000 MILES TO SEE PHILLIES
"Diamond King of the Golden West"
Wagers on Them, Too
William Craig, the "Diamond King of
the Golden -West," traveled 3000 -miles
back to his natlvo State to see the Phillies
win.
"And they didn't disappoint me, either,"
he said today, showing a mouthful of
elcamlng gold teeth nnd shoving his hand
Into his pocket, where reposed (1200 which
he won backing the Phils yesterday. Spcc
tntois of Mr. Cialg In the lobby of the
Bcltevue-Strntford, where he Is stopping,
gasped and blinked as they tried to look
at him. It Is a difficult feat to keop one's
cyei fixed on him, for he Is radiant,
glstcnlng, scintillating with diamonds.
Diamonds, diamonds no one ever before
saw so many. There arc J100.000 worth
of thein on his fingers, coat, vest, necktie.
"Diamonds! Oh, just a llttlo hobby of
mine," he said. "Let's talk about the
Phtl'les. They're the real Jewels. Pat
Moran Is a diamond and Alexander's a
nugget."
Tho "Diamond King" Is a native of Eas
ton. where he went to Lafayette College.
He went West while young nnd settled In
,nn Francisco, where, after making near
ly n million dollars, he began collecting
gems. He Is head of the Deep nock AVa
ler Company. When the newspapers told
him recently that the Phils were up there
fighting for the flag he decided to come
and see them. In the party of Callfor
nlans which he helped organize to come
to the series Is James J. Corbett, former
heavyweight boxing champion.

TPWO Presidents of tho-United States were, in the eyes of the
A American people, pre-eminent over all others Washington and
Lincoln. That Lincoln was not a Prohibitionist in principle was
shown in previous articles in this series by FACTS from history, one
verifying him as partner in a store licensed to sell liquors. To this
FACT may be added a significant declaration by Lincoln in a speech
at Columbus, O., September 16, 1857 (see Nicolay & Hay's History,
vol. S, pace 140) :
'T THINK a definition of popular sovereignty in the abstract
A would be about this: That each man shall do precisely as he
pleases with himself, and with all those things that exclusively con
cern him; that a general government shall do all those things that
pertain to it. . . ."

Facts Versus
Fallacies
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.
AS for President Washington, the FACT that he was not a Pro-
hibitionist was indisputably demonstrated by his owning and
conducting a distillery. In Washington's will, too, admitted to pro
bate in the county of Fairfax, Virginia, February 7, 1811, was this
"item": "To my dearly beloved wife, Martha Washington, I give and
bequeath ... my household and kitchen furniture of every sort
and kind, with the liquors and groceries which may be on hand."
Another clause of this will read: "I give and bequeath to the said
Lawrence Lewis and Eleanor Parke Lewis, his wife, the residue of
my Mount Vernon estate . . . together with the mill, distillery
and all other houses," '

The French War Office announced te

lowed by forces In column formation. It
was broken up by the combined flro of
our Infantry, our machine guns and our
artillery.
"A few elements only succeeded In
gaining a foothold In one of the trenches

Lens-Bclhune highway.
"Some other engagements, local in their
chnracter but equally tlolent and re
peated, against our positions to the south
