200 HIT TRAIL LAST NIGHT
Central High Football Team Among
Converts; Students Make Meet
ing a Livewire Session
Thousands o£ women poured into
the huge Stough tabernacle this after
noon between t and 2 o'clock to hear
the great evangelist's eugenic lecture.
"Is Marriage a Failure?"
In the throng were women of the
shops, the factory, the home—yes, and
the street—all anxious to learn the
great truths having to do with matri
monial failure and success.
Dr. Stough's lecture was to women
only and the truths he expounded were
straight from the shoulder, dealing
with those questions of marital life
that the ordinary preacher seldom or
never touches upon.
The duties of the wife to the hus
band, to the children and to the home
were dwelt upon at length. And abovt.
all Dr. Stough emphasized the need
for God in the home, the necessity
for a family altar and the results of
not training children in the straight
and narrow path.

Proprietor Believes He Knows
Identity of Culprits;
SIOO Stolen
Thieves broke into Holtisman's pool
and billiard rooms. 32 3 Market street,
botween 2.30 and 4.30 o'clock thlb
morning and stole SIOO. Entrance was
gained by breaking through a side
window in Dewberry avenue.
It is believed that the thieves took
some of the stock of tobacco, cigars
I and cigarets, although this cannot be
determined until the stock is gone
over. No damage was done to the
place except that the four cash regis
ters were broken open and the monej
removed.
When Lester G. Holtzman, pro
i prietor of the billiard rooms, was
asked this morning about the robber>
he said that when he left the place
after closing it last night he did not
check up the money in the registers,
as usual, because he was not fee.ing
well. When he came in at 4.45 this
morning he discovered that the place
had been robbed.
"I have my suspicions about who
committed the robbery. It was some
one who knew the place well, however,
and someone that knew that the
money had not been removed from
the registers."
The police have been notified and
are hunting for the thieves.

FIGHTING ALONG YSER HALTED
Servia Denies Austrian Victory
Although Retreat Is
Admitted
Important advantages, though not
or a decisive nature, are claimed to
day by the French war office. Ger
many's new attack toward the eastern
end of the battle line across France
with the supposed purpose of isolating
the Important fortress of Verdun is
said in the French official statement to
have been thwarted, at least tempo
rarily. In the Argonne region, where
the main attack has been in progress
for several days, German entrench
ments are reported to have been blown
up, while near Verdun it is said that
the forces of the allies have "made
progress."
A brief reference in the French
statement to the relative positions of
the opposing forces indicates how
closely the fighting is being pressed.
In certain positions the trenches ol
the Germans and allies are less than
thirty yards apart.
Except for the fighting in the Ar
gonne and near Verdun, there is com
paratively little activity in Belgium
and France. At one point in Belgium
a German attack by infantry was
made, which, the French war otlk«
says, was "immediately repulsed." At
other points the French assert that
they have won the advantage in thu
artillery duel which has been the main
feature of the fighting since the cold,
wet weather compelled cessation oC
activity by cavalry and infantry. A
German official statement says that the
allies are showing great activity with
artillery along almost the entire front.
Germans Opposed Successfully
