political reverses more than 25 years

Up to Neck in Quicksand,
Is Rescued by Police
New York, Nov. 12. Sunk to his
neck in quicksand near Borden and
Betts avenues, Long Island City,
early yesterday, Alexander Bolough,
4 8 years old, of Lorain, 0., was res
cued by Patrolman Prazelt, Thomas
Graham and Wilbur Nulenburg, two
cemetery guards, after long and con
tinued desperate efforts.
It was 2 a. m. when the patrol
man heard cries issuing from the
swampland in that neighborhood.
He started to Investigate and sank
to his knees. Ho blew his whistle.
Graham and Nulenburg ran up and
helped the policeman to make his
way to firm ground. The three then
found a leaky rowboat and paddled
around the swampland for almost
two hours before they found Bo
lough.
In attempting to get him out,
Prazek lost his balance and fell into
the sand. Disregarding his own dan
ger, the patrolman had the two men
in the boat hand him a rope which
he tied under Bolough's arms.
Prazek, with the assistance of his
two companions, got back into the
boat and they pulled Bolough to
safety.

British Military Experts Look
For Definite End of Rus
sian Campaign
London, Nov. 12. —British military
experts believe the Russian Bolshe
vik! cannot withstand the onslaughts
of their enemies longer than two
months and that something definite
is likely to happen in i the Russian
campaign by December 1.
It is pointed out that the Bolshev
iki have employed German tactics in
moving men from one front to an
other with more or less success but
that recently each success has beon
a little less marked than the previous
one and that it is reasonable to sup
pose that such tactics in the end must
break down unless one enemy is com
pletely subdued. When the Bol
shcvlki centered against Kolchak
some months ago and drove him
back 700 miles, their southern front
was left weak whereupon General
Denikine started his advance which
has resulted in clearing up South
Russia.
The Bolsheviki have withdrawn
many men from the Kolchak front,
giving the Admiral a chance to ad
vance. In the meantime the west
ern front has become a menace to
Bolshevism. The British experts be
lieve peace was broached to the Bal
tic states because the Bolsheviki real
ized they no longer could hold back
their enemies on three sidis and
maintain the force in northern Rus
sia also.
Soldier Who Sold Paris
Subways and Hospitals to
French Held as Gunman
• Philadelphia, Nov. 12. Inter
nationally known as the man who
sold the Paris subways to Parisians
and who left a trail of swindled
Frenchmen mourning their loss of
thousands of francs, Irwin Bender
was arrested as an alleged gunman
in this city yesterday.
Bender's presence in this city, too,
reveals that he has escaped from
Leavenworth, where he was sen
tenced for twenty-eight years, after
he was captured in Paris through
the duplicity of his inamorata, said
to be a major's wife with whom he
eloped to Spain.
Bender, who gave the name of
Harry Thomas was arrested with Joe
Gans, They were taken into cus-,
tody when Policeman Fred Clarke, i
formerly a sergeant in the provost'
guard in Paris, recognized Bender
as the man who had startled France
and the entire A. E. F. through his
spectacular swindles of trusting
Frenchmen.
Infatuated Pair Take
Poison in Suicide Pact
Philadelphia, Nov. 12. An In
fatuation, puzzling to the police and
friends of the persons concerned, led
ai man and a woman to take poison
while together in the Rittenhouse
hotel, yesterday.
Both the man and woman are mar
ried and had comfortable homes. The,
woman is mother of two attractive
little daughters. The man is father
of a boy and girl. Relatives and
friends had heard of no develop
ments in their domestic lives to give
hint of such a denouement.
The couple were Anthony J.
Peters, 25, of 3418 North Twentieth
street, and Mrs. O. R. Triest, 28, who
roomed on Fifty-third near Market
street, but gave the police her hus
band's address at 5105 Warrington
street. They registered at the hotel
late Monday night as Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Patterson, of New York city.

Many people, however, once got the
notion they couldn't eat such things
and have grown in prejudice us a

selves almost everything except milk
and water.
But you will find here and there
one of this kind eating onions, cu

found that by merely giving the
stomach a little assistance there are
no after effects from such Indulgence
There is avoidance of gussiness, no

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets 'are for
both those who suffer after eating
and for those who starve, for fear of
suffering. They relieve the distress
of indigestion and they also serve
to assist the stomach to prevent in
digestion.
Bating should be one of our chief
enjoyments. It is really the moat at

Is worth our while to realize that we
may Indulge freely by exercising the
precautionary measure of aiding the
digestive process. Thus you may
eat your hot biscuits, buckwheats,

Miss Beatrice Mac Cue
Pleases With Concert
Miss Beatrice Mac Cue, contralto,
of New York City, gave a song re
cital last evening in Stevens Me
morial M. E. Church. She is a sing
er of splendid attainments; with a
glorious voice of sympathetic quarity,
and great compass. She is evidently
an apostle of American musio for
her entire program was made up
of compositions of Americans, with
the exception of two numbers, and
these fitted in beautifully with the
balance of the program.
Some of the notably fine numbers
were: Ah, Love, But a Day," by Gil
jberte; "The Avia" from LaGioconda;
"A Spirit Flower;" "Sea Dreams."
by Metcalf; a fine new setting of "In
Flanders Fields," by Jules Jordan,
and "Robin, Robin, Sing Me a Song,"
by Spross.
Miss Mac Cue was obliged to add
two evtras and these Included "The
Star," by Rogers, and "If You Have
a Sweetheart," by Hawley. All
these were rendered with fine in
terpretative power and artistic skill.
She has an abundance of vitality in
her singing and a very charming
personality. Miss Ruth S. Kaybiil
played very fine accompaniments.
Miss Margaretta Kennedy, cellist,
has never appeared to better ad
vantage than she did in thi sconcert.
She secured a fine, sononous, warm,
tone from her instrument, which she
handles with technical skill of a
high order. Miss Alda Kennedy
played efficient accompaniments for
her sister. John Whitman, violin
ist, was the other assisting artist,
and he demonstrated his fine music
ianship and violinistic ability to a
very high degree. He has a good
bowing arm and secures a wander
fully smooth, rich, sustained tone.
This was especially nottcable in the
Ave Mavia. His technical skill was
apparent in the "Hejre Kati" which
he played with fite and verse. Miss
Betty Cooll niayed excellent ac
companiments.
