GERMANY bEATEN"

New York. Oct. 4.-Timothy Healy,
NJ. p, who arrived today by the Gun
arder Campania from Liverpool with
several other notable Britons, ex-
pressed confidence in the ultimate de-
feat OF the kaiser's armies in the
campaign in France. The kaiser"
the Irish leader said. has lost all the
admiration which the world had be-
slowed upon him and Germany by the
manner in which he attacked Belgium
to make short cut to Paris. The
success of her strategy depended on
that move. She has lost She in
tended to hold Paris for ransom of
a thousand million dollars, with the
alternative of burning the city.
Il regard Germany as beaten
power. Judging the situation from
a political and diplomatic viewpoint
1t is apparent that the kaiser Is no
statesman. He Numbered in aband-
oning the policy of Bismarck. He has
shown the folly Of an individual who,
because he happens to be manarch,
claims as his birthr4ght the ability
to direct every military and diplo-
matte move of the empire"

GERMANS READY FOR
DETERMINED STAND
KAISER REPORTED TO HAVE
GONE TOWARD RUSSIAN
LINES.

London, Oct. 4.-The little news
received here tonight from the theater
of war in the east pointed to con-
tinuous progress by the Russian
armies threatening German territory.
There Is no question. however. that
the Germans, under the personal d.
rection of the kaiser, are preparing
for a determined stand.
There is a report from Rome that
the kaiser after comforting with the
general staff in Breslau, has gone to
Thorn to stiffen defense operations.
Thorn is in the line of the advance
of the Russian central army. Rumors
persist that the kaiser had morrow
escape from capture when the Rus
slams overwhelmed a German army
at the river Niemen.
Today a Russian cavalry force
operating with field batteries near the
Prussian frontier. sighted a Zeppelin
which was taking notes of the Rus
bombarded with big and little guns
and was finally brought to earth. Its
officers and crew were made prison
ers. The war craft was Zeppelin
No. S.
The fortress of Przemysl, the only
stronghold left to the Austrians in
Galicia. is now surrounded on all
sides by Russian troops left behind to
complete its capture. The Russians
now occupy two forts and are using
them to lombard the inner works.
Several of the outer forts have been
silenced. The Russians have great
hopes of taking Przemysl before the
arrival of Austrian and German re-
Endorsements.
Meanwhile, the Russians are hast
ening operations designed to control
the passes of the Carpathians Those
in the central and east frontier OF
Galicia have been taken, but the pass
es in the west still offer opportunities
to the Austrians.
There is no news Of the Russian
advance in Hungary. The Russian
government Is maintaining the ut
most secrecy as to this campaign
There are hints from Vienna and
Budapest that the advance Is con-
sidered most threatening.

shows were up and electrical connec-
tons made, The large group Of side
shows. which was TO have reached the

required long train OF cars.
Due to the rain all day yesterday
the men had some trouble IN getting
the shows into position. On taking
Il short turn at curve on one of the
roadways, one OF the big wagons was
overturned, and this delayed the
workers.
An elephant. which was brought
along with the big show group, help
ed materially in the work OF getting
the tents and scenery for the shows
in place. The heavy loads proved too
mnch for the horses and mules and
the elephant showed the wagons Into
