Tests have been made, according to
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health of
ficer of practically all of the cream
and ice cream used in the city in the
last few days, and in a number of in
stances disease germs have been found,
but the quality of the products used
for ice cream is improving.
Several manufacturers may lose
their licenses, he intimated, unless the
ico cream comes up to standard and
will not endanger the health of the
public when it is sold.
Two new cases of typhoid fever were
reported and two suspected victims.
Charles Hand, lieutenant of police un

REGISTRATION ON
FIRST DAY LIGHT
[Continued From First Page]
well covered the city, personally, on
a general inspection totr
"From what I could ! the reg
istration was rather light all over the
city and I think I got 'round to most
of the precincts. This is not unusual,
however: as a rule, the first day's
registration is small up until noon, as
most of the first day men do not or
can not come out until late afternoon
or early evening. From 4 to 6 o'clock
the registration is generally heavier
and then the big rush comes in the
evening hours.
"Of course, we urged every Repub
lican to get out and register to-day.
True, there are two more days—Sep
tember 19 and October 7—but to my
mind the fellow who attends to this
duty the first day, has done his duty
and it's off his mind. Then, too, the
man who waits until the last day
may forget it—and if he's in town
and well, and doesn't register on the
last day because he forgets it, he's
done for so far as exercising his right
to vote at the November election is
concerned.
"The registrars will sit until 6
o'clock this evening and then reopen
their books at 7 to sit until 10 o'clock.
And it would be well for every Re
publican to remember this and get
busy this evening."
Chairman Morganthaler said he,
too, had covered the greater portion
of the city, particularly the upper end
and he found that the registration was
going very well for the first day.
"In one of the West End precincts,
for instance," said he, "I learned that
up until noon thirty-five had registered
as against six on the first day last
year." .
The clerks in the county commis
sioners' offices put in the usual busy
day of it answering phone cals, hust
ling out additional equipment, etc., and
otherwise facilitating the work of the
registrars throughout the city.

J official in the Orient, who arrived here
I yesterday from Hamburg.
Mrs. Voretzich said that she saw
! both vessels in the shipyard where
; they were being repaired. They were

ish gunfire and sank while being tow

board were saved.

sian drive tho heaviest pressure has
been directed against the Austro-Ger
man lines above and below Lemberg
and there has been constant fighting
before Halicz. This city is on the
trunk line railroad running south
oast from Lemberg to Stanislau and
Kolomea, and is also the southern
terminus of another line. Its strategic
importance Is indicated further by the
fact that it is on the Dniester at its
junction with the Gnita Lipa.
Rumanian Fort Falls
The first definite success of the new
campaign between Rumania and Bul
garia has been won by the Bulgarians
assisted by the Germans. Berlin
announces and Petrograd concedes,
the capture of the Rumanian fortress
of Turtukai, one of a series of fort
resses defending Bucharest, from the
South. The German official report
says 20,000 Rumanians and 100 guns
were captured. Tho Petrograd an
nouncement states that the Rumanians
evacuated the fort.
The Rumanian War Office reports
further successes in the invasion of
Hungary. Another mountain pass on
the northehrn frontier has been taken
by Ruir\anian troops, which also cap
turned seven guns and a number of
machine guns.
British Now Claim to
Have Germans Sewed Up
in a Sack Along Somme
By Associated Press
With the British Army in France.
Sept. 5. The British feel that their
up-hill work In this latest offensive is
over, with the exception of the taking
of Ginchy. For over two months now
their tight has been one to gain high
ground over the broad commanding
front. Guillemont places them in
possession of the last of the old sec
ond line trenches, and from the
Somme to Thiepval the Germans now
have been blasted out of their old
positions.
"This Is not the only point in our
favor," said a British staff officer.
"The Germans chose their ground
when they built this linei of fortifica
tions, which they considered by their
own admission to be invulnerable.
When the British first smashed
through the Germans said that we
were in a sack. So we were, in one
sense. But we had to make an open
ing in that solid line of defense as a
start in our plans. We knew the
hardest work would come after the
great main attack, and this is so far
accomplished that it is the Germans
now who are in a sack.
To Quadruple Shells
"If we prefer to end the summer of
fensive and wait for Spring when we
shall have quadrupled the number of
guns and $o much ammunition that
we shall have to keep up daily a bat
tle of guns on four times the length
of the present front with all the shell
lire of the biggest day in this summer's
offensive in order to consume the sup
plies arriving daily across the chan
nel. Why, our present position of
artillery and infantry advantage on
the Somme front in settled trench
warfare, means simply that we could
kill two Germans to every Britain the
Germans kill. This was the first step.
What tho others are to be only the
commanders of the allies' armies
know."
The Associated Press correspondent
who has been a year with the army,
in his goings and comings meets
many officers and soldiers. One of the
striking things to him ts how often
some gain which elates the army does
not elate either the British' or the
French public. Again, the public en
thuses over some event which the
army opinion regards as incidental to
the day's work.
Armies In High Spirits
The British and French successes
this week had an extraordinary ef
fect on both armies. The ability of
the French to make a second drive
over the broad front and the same sec
tor as that of the big offensive of the
first of July, brought conviction to the
professional skeptics. Go over and see
the Frpnch," said the British officer,
"if you want to see an army with its
head in the air."
Not even the weather can dampen
the high spirits of both armies. The
rain has been of the persistent pitch
fork, chilly autumn style. Men who
came out of the trenches plastered
with chalky clay, who had been charg
ing under a weight of sixty pounds
equipment and then lying in miniature
ponds made by shell holes or on the
wet earth digging and wallowing in the
mud, say Guillemont is taken and that
pays for their hardships.
Jjook For En«l Xcxt Summer
The many new highways which the
British build by bringing ponderous
road-making machines from England,
and the new railways which are part
of Sir Douglas Haig's policy, have
saved transports from being mired'.
Supplies have gone up as usual
through the storms on schedule time.
In the camps at the rear the soldiers
make themselves little tents with their
rubber blankets under which they
cluster lor shelter from the downpour.
They manage to keep partly dry, but
those in the fighting line expect to be i
saturated.
Whether private soldier In his
shelter tent or general in his automo
bile if you ask them that old ques
tion: "When do you think the war
will be over?" you get no opinion of
any possible conclusion short of next
summer. They all take many months
of fighting to come no less for granted
than that Rumania's entry and the
artillery results in the Somme battle
mean that the entente allies will dic
tate the terms of peace. This confi
dence may be wrong, but there is no
doubt as to its existence so far as the
correspondent can learn more strongly
than ever before.
Value of Submarine Is
Exaggerated Declaration
of Von Bethmann Hollweg
By Associated Press
I.ondon. Sept. 7. According to de
finite information reaching Berne,
Switzerland, from Germany says a
dispatch to the Wireless Press, Dr. Von
Bethmann-Holweg, the German Im
perial chancellor, upon being ques
tioned at the August meeting of the
Federal Council as to why he yielded
to the demands of the United States
regarding the unrestricted torpedoeing
of ships of the high seas, replied em
phatically that the value of the sub
marine was exaggerated by the ad
herents of wholesale torpedoeing.
The chancellor said that insistence
of unrestricted submarine warfare
would cause war between Germany
and the United States and the results
of unlimited torpedoeing would not
Justify such a policy.
Elaborating this point the chancel
lor is quoted as saying that Germany
could not effectively blockade Eng
land nor cut off England's food sup
plies.

"green car" system, operated by the
New York Railways Company, was
chiefly affected, apparently not more
than thirty per cent of these surface
cars running. Except in Manhattan
and the Bronx boroughs no railway
lines were affected.
Loyal Men Get Double Pay
The New York Railways Company
announced that it 3 recent agreements
with its employes were abrogated, ef
fective to-day and that the work had
been begun of signing individual
contracts. The Interborough an
nounced that its men who did not
strike will receive double pay until
further notice.
Throughout the districts affected
little disorder was reported, although
in Harlem and on the East Side there
were a few minor disturbances. About
4,000 patrolmen in uniform and plain
clothes were on duty to guard prop
erty and protect passengers on cars
and at stations.
Meanwhile traction officials, admit
ting that "the gravity of the situation
is such that at any moment a crisis
may arise" were providing stocks of
provisions for the strikebreakers,
many of whom have come from other
cities.
Strike Breaker King
Is Smashing Records
to Reach New York
Erie, Pa., Sept. 7. James W.
Waddell, noted in labor circles as "the
king of strikebreakers" is breaking all
speed records between Chicago and
New York in his endeavor to get to
the latter place and take command
of the employes in the Interborough
strike there. The special Lake Shore
train that Waddell chartered in Chi
cago late last night at a cost of $3,000
has averaged well over 60 miles an
hour so far on the trip.
For every minute under 18 hours
that the trip is made, Waddell will
pay the railroad SIOO. and it seemed
certain when the train reached Erie
that he would have several minutes to
pay for, barring unexpected delays.
Waddell said to-day he had 4,500
trained strikebreakers in Manhattan
and 1,100 armed guards, and he de
clared that normal service would be
resumed on all Gotham lines by Sat
urday.

S&nte Fe Refuses to
Obey New Eight-Hour Law
Pending Test in Court
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 7. E. P. Rip
ley. president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Snnta Fe Railway, declared in a
formal statement last niglit that the
Santa Fe does'not intend to comply
with the Adamson eight-hour law, re
cently enacted by Congress to avert a
threatened railroad strike, until Or
dered so to do by the United States
Supreme Court.
President Ripley declared that the
so-called eight-hour law was nothing
more than an advance of 20 to 2 5 per
cent, in wages to the men who receive
the most money in the railway service.
Mr. Ripley's statement follows:
"Congress, hastily acting under a
threat of four leaders of labor organ
izations. enacted a so-called eight-hour
law, which is nothing more or less
than an advance of 20 to 25 per cent,
in the wages of the best paid men in
the railway service. It is only fair to
the public and to our employes ♦*« say
that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway Company does not intend to
comply with the law until ordered to
do so by the court of last resort."

TOBACCO
YOU LIKE
"American Navy" Has the De
licious, Lasting Taste
That Satisfies
FULL OF JUICY SWEETNESS
For purity, wholesomcness and de
licious goodness, no way of using to
bacco can equal chewing it—and no
form of chew can compare with rich,
mellow, juicy plug tobacco.
Take American Navy for example.
There's a tasty tobacco for you. An
clastic, lasting chew crammed full of
juicy sweetness. A chew that holds its
savory flavor longer than any other to
bacco.
In American Navy you get all the
qualities you like so much in "scrap"
tobacco plus the richer, mellower, juic
ier flavor that only plug can give you.
American Navy has been the favor
ite of sturdy, steady chewers for years.
You can't begin to get the same satis
faction out of any other tobacco.
Made of choice, ripe, whole leaf by
the most modern sanitary processes,
American Navy is better than many
chewing tobaccos that cost you more.
Be sure you're equipped with a supply
of American Navy before you tackle
another day's work. In Sc and 10c cuts.

and surplus Income the greatest In its
history, but the company established a
new record, In that its operating ana

Its experience.
For the year ended June 30 last the
road earned 16.6 per cent, on its sllß,-
209,000 of common stock, the balance of
Income available for this purpose be
ing $19,704,386, an increase of $10,214,
152, or 107.63 per cent, over the previ
