FROM VOLHYNIA TO DNEISTER
PETROORAD. Oct. S. -An odlclal report
given out today by the "War Offlce says that
on the Auatro-Oerman front stubborn fight
ing continues from the region east of Vlad-tmlr-Volynsky
as far south as the Dniester.
The Russians have captured enemy poll,
tlons at various points. Along the Bis
tritsa, In the regon of flogorodchad, Teu
tonlo outposts were defeated and a num

LONDON, Oct I. No confirmation Is yet
obtainable of the report that the Russian
center has crossed the Zlota Llpa River
and Is shelling the suburbs of Unexany.
The report was flashed yesterday from the
front by the correspondent of neuter's.
Yesterday's official report by the Petrograd
War Office admitted that the Teuton armies
were stubbornly holding their positions In
Qallda In the face of desperate attack.
If the Reuters report Is true, the Rus
sians have taken another big stride toward
the capture of their goat The Investment
of Brxexany by the Russians would prob
ably compel the retirement of von Dothmer's
army from the whole line of the Zlota Llpa
north of that point
With the Zlota Llpa entirely In the hands
of the Russians, the Teuton forces In
Oallela would be compelled to retreat on
Lemberg to escape flank attacks. In the
center. In the north, along the Brody-Lem-
berg Railroad, and In the south. In the
Hallci sector, the Russians would be able
to sweep forward In a converging drive on
the capital city.
Stubborn battles are continuing In
Volhynla, west of Lutsk, where Berlin re
ports the Czar's troops lost thousanda In
killed and won not a foot of ground.
In the meantime. It Is known that Brus
sllorfa armies are moving again from the
frontier station of Brody on the way to
Lemberg. The railway creeps through a
low-tying, rather swampy plain dotted with
patches of wood, with here and there a gray
village clustered around the squat gray
cupola of a church. For weeks the Rus
sian front has lain perpendicular to the
railway, and white progress has been made
to the north and south, there has been
little advance along the railway Itself,
which Is the most direct route to Lemberg.
Now, after several days of hard fighting.
General SakharofTs army has succeeded
In bending the German line back and In

..land of Malakalafat In the Danube op
posite the Bulrartan town and fortress of
Vidln, and bombarded the Rumanian bar
racks at Kalafat across the river
The Island of Malakalafat Is In almost
the extreme northwestern corner of Bui
carls, where the Danube make a loop.
From Kalafat runs a main railroad through
Rumania, which an army hoping to Invade
Rumania might Use. It Is only fifty miles
south of Orsora, where Rumanians and
Austrtans are fighting, and the seizing of
the leland may be Intended to divert Ru

LONDON. Oct 8.
Despite the apparent sucesa of the Ger-man-Butgar

seven guns have been captured.
In Transylvania, too, the Rumanians are
pushing a successful offensive, and have
taken 2000 prisoners. The German report
shows that the Rumanian army, which waa
defeated at Hermannatadt has rallied and

The fact that pianos advertised by dealers vary as to price and
selling conditions is "food for thought."
Our instruments are the same price all year round; the terms are
the same as well as the prices.
When considering the pur
chase of a Piano remember these
7 points:
1. In our method of selling
Pianos from January to Decem
ber every buyer may or may not
be a "Club Member."
2. Buying' on the easy-payment
plan from us secures you a
better Piano for less money than any house in Philadelphia can afford
to sell for cash.
3. We never charge interest on deferred payments.
4. There is no joker in our guarantee or down payments, and we
deliver pianos free of charge anywhere inside of fifty miles of Phila
delphia, with a bench, cover and instruction book included.
5. We sell Upright Pianos as low as $1 .25 weekly; Player-Pianos
as low as $2.00 weekly, and Grand Pianos as low as $2.25 weekly.
6. Our lenient method of doing business insures you against any
trouble which might arise in your family after you have purchased one
of our instruments.
7. There is no limit to our sales, as we are not depending on job
bers or manufacturers to supply us with the instruments they see fit to
ship. Our Pianos are made right here in Philadelphia, at 50th and
Parkside Avenue, under our own supervision and with sufficient cap
ital and one of the best-equipped factories in the United States.
