As noon aa I got within sight of It, what
do you suppose that dear girl did? She
heard me coming and tried to soften the

wounded herself, but seated In n, chair at a
table, writing note for aid and trying to.
get doctors and the police. Sho hasn't
thought of herself at nil.
"While she was bleeding, yet irtlll driv
ing the car toward the farmhouse at the
bogs, she thought only of her uncle, who
lay wounded tn the seat besldo her. 'Can
you stand It, Uncle Henry?" she asked again
and again. 'Can't you lay your head on
my shoulder and be more comfortable?
Then she added, 'If only I could have take
some of tho bullets that struck Uncle Henry
then perhaps we might both have pulled
through.' "

Camden county authorities are Investi

Ttasstan troops have won a victory over
Mackenaen's Oerman-flulgarlari-Turklsh
army In Dobrudja, occupying the village
of Karabaka and Ilesaul and also th
height between. It was officially announced
today. Th enemy counter-attacked, but
waa repelled with terrlflo losses.
rARIS, Oct 7.
Italian troops have taken the offensive In
the Balkan In conjunction with the Brit
ish, French and Herbs, and ars attacking
In the region of Butkovo, east of the Var
dar, It was officially announced today.
On the allied left wing tho Serb have
pushed their advance guards forward Into
Belavoda Valley. French troops have oc
cupied tlerman positions.
The Bulgarian directed strong counter
attacks against tho British forces that oc
cupied Nevolen, but were repulsed.
The Jaw of tho Allies' pincers In the
Balkans are slowly closing. Dally the
squeexlng process Is drawing the Bulgnrs
nearer defeat
On tho north and on tho south the
Allied forces have Increased their advan-
Mackcnsrn continue to fall back be
fore the powerful pressure of the Rus
slans and Rumanian In the Dobrudja.
Only In Transylvania, where Von Falken
hayn Is opposing them with overwhelm
ingly largo forces, are the Rumanians on
the defensive. Hero the Teutons pressed
forward at several points on tho fifty-mile
front
For tha time being Interest centers on
th latest effort of Sarrall to drive a wedge
Into tho enemy's line along the Struma
River.
BERLIN ADMITS RETREAT.
Berlin ndmlts that the Bulger have
evacuated "somo of the most remote vil
lages" on the east bank of the stream.
That tho Bulgar resistance Is not what
It has been la Indicated by the fact
that the British were abla to consolidate
all their newly won positions with little
or no opposition. So vigorously did Sar
rail's forces follow up their victories that
the counter-attacks the enemy launched
were beaten back with ease.
To the west tho Serbs, now well over
the frontier along a front of some eight
miles, have pushed forward to within
seven miles of Monastlr on the southeast
The .line they occupy, extending through
tho positions of Mesdjldll, Kenall and
Qradeshnltsa, as far as the slopes of the
Kalmakcalan ridge, offers rhnnce of quick
success over the Bulgara, From the stretch
of ground Inclosed In the loop of the Ccrna
River, southeast of Monastlr, King Pcter'a
troops are In excellent position to flank
the enemy's lines Immediately south of
the objective.
Moreover, the new advance of the Serbs
seriously Imperils the Bulgarian line of
communications. All the dominating posi
tions of the region are in Allied hands.
Slowly tho field of battle must shift to the
north, until tho Serbs look down on Monas
tic. Itself.
AWAIT DRIVE IN CENTER
In tho center, along the Vardar, where
It has been supposed that the greatest effort
of the Allies will be launched, the situation
Is ominously calm. But with both flanks
pushed forward, a gigantic effort In the
center may be expected soon. Success In
this would aim at the cutting of the great
Balkan Railroad which links Constantino
ple with Berlin, tho ultimate object of the
Allied offensive.
Whllo Sofia claims the complete falluro
of attempts to thrust back Mackcnsen's
lines In the Dobrudja, both Bucharest and
Petrograd announce that the offensive Is
progressing successfully against the center
and left wing of the Teuton army. A dead
lock apparently exists between the opposing
forces In this sector. Nothing but Allied or
Teuton victories on other fronts In the
Balkans are likely to break the deadlock.
If either the Macedonian or Transylvonlan
offenslvo movements of tha Allies slow
down, to an appreciable degree, the battle
Is likely to go hard for Rumania.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF UNION TRACTION
UNDtiR TAYLOR TRANSIT PROJECT
A STATEMENT hag been published that the enforcement 4" tha term ef
the Taylor tentative transit agreement would mean an asewnent ef
Union Traction stockholders to the total Amount of f 19,500.000.
Careful study of the Taylor program proves this to be incorrect.
The tentative agreement provides that the Union Traction Company be
relied upon for aid In securing ONLY 8UCII FUNDS AS WIL1 BE RE
QUIRED FOR THE NORMAL EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING SUR
FACE SYSTEM, tho requirements for which will be greatly lessened by
tho establishment of the new high-speed lints.
Tho normol requirements for extensions would amount to about 5800,000
nnnunlly, it has been estimated.
Upon this estimate Union Traction stockholders would pay back an
nually less than onc-hnlf of their annual rental returns from the P. R. T.,
which nmounts to $1,000,000.
Further, for nil such money so paid back, under the agreement, they
would be allowed SIX PER CENT INTEREST, IN ADDITION TO THE
PRESENT SIX PER CENT DIVIDENDS on capitalization value.

Continued from I'ns On
can hold tho Dodgers to two runs per
game In this scries.
Tho attitude of Carrlgan is rather sur
prising, but as the eternn manager seldom
snyB what he thinks, It Is possible that he
has the pitching program mapped out for
the cntlro series and merely Is Jockeying to
find out Robinson's hurling selection, or to
keep a particular hurler on the anxious
bench until game time.
It often Is the case that a pitcher worries
too much when he Is told that he Is to pilch
the opening gamo of an Important series,
wherooa If he Is kept In the dark ho will
get a. good night's rest and be In prime
shape for the gamo. Carrlgan is a mys
terious sort of an Individual, whllo Robin
son Is Just the opposite.
Tho Brooklyn manager Is Just, as Jovial as
If his team were playing the Hrst game
of the season and appears to be supremely
confident of the 'result, One or two of the
Dodgers appear to be a. trifle worn and no
doubt are' under the strain, but tho same Is
true of Walker and Janvrln, of the Red
Sox.
Janvrln ts worrying about whether he Is
going to start the series and also realises
that he has a tremendous task ahead of
him to Oil Jack Barry's shoes In case tho
latter Is unable to play. Barry went
through tho practice yesterday In splendid
style, but his hand was rather stiff last
night, and Manager Carrlgan told him that
he would take no chance unless Jack
worked out well today.
Seldom havo we seen a series where the
sentiment changed more from cocksured
nesa to uncertainty on the eve of the battle,
and there now are many American Leaguers
who came here with tho Impression nrmiy
Imbedded in their minds that the Red Sox
would win four straight who now do not
feel quite so certain.
. Tho confident care-freo alrof the Dodgers
at the Copley Plaza Hotel has had much
to do with this and also tho fact that Man
ager Robinson apparently has placed his
cards upon the table, with the announce
ment that Marquard would pitch today and
Jack Coombs would take his turn on the
mound on Monday,
The former Mockman took time to boost
Rube Marquard. He declared that the for
mer New York southpaw is In better shaps
than he ever saw him and he Is a better
pitcher today than when he won his nine
teen straight victories. It might b re
called that In 1912 Marquard wort two of
the thretf games captured by the Giants

Governor Brumbaugh Demands
Definite Offer From Jersey
Before Acting
The future of two proposed bridges con
necting Pennsylvania and New Jersey by
spanning the Delaware Is Just as vaguAns
It was before Goernor Brumbaugh xon
ferred today with a delegation to discuss
the plana for tha bridges, one from Bur
lington to Bristol and the other from Cam
den to this city.
The Governor flatly refused to listen to
any arguments In regard to the Camden
bridge. He told the delegation, In fact,
that there was no use In talking about It
as there waa a fight as to whether a tube
would be preferable to a brldget which
they estimated wpuld C6st 218,000,000.
He told the Jerseyltes to present the
advantages of the Bristol-Burlington bridge
and the members of tho John Woolman
Memorial Association quickly started- an
argument with Senator Buckman, 'of, Buoks
County, when they said tho bridge would
'cost but 1276,000.
Buckman, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee at the last session of
the Legislature, replied that tha bridge
could not possibly be built for that sum.
whereupon the Governor told the mem
bers of the Association, who plan to name
the bridge the John Woolman Memorial
Bridge, to raise as much money aa possible
by subscription and then come to the State
of Pennsylvania with a definite proposi
tion. '
Eugene Martin, of the Chamber of Com
merce, together with the Governor and
Senator Buckman, represented this State,
whllo the chief booster for the Jerseyltes
was William Henry Wright of Carhden,
who has been pressing the claims of the
Camden bridge for somo time.
