EXPECT FIGHT TO LAST;
WARS COST TO GERMANY

Berlin, Sept. 80, via London.-The
correspondent Of the Lokal Anzeiger,
in a dispatch published here, today,
points out that a decisive turn in the
battle which has been raging in the
western theater of war need not be
expected for some time. Subordinate
actions Of a decisive character are be-
coming more general, the correspond
ent declares.
The losses Of the Germans have been
extraordinarily heavy, and the fact
that those of the enemy have been
greater is poor consolation. The
troops are confident that in the end
they will win the action.
Berlin, Sept. 30, via London-The
response of the German public to the
efforts Of the government to raise a
war fund of 5000, 100000 marks ($1,-
100000, 000), it is asserted here, has
removed all anxiety the nation may
have had regarding its ability to meet
financial obligations due to the wal.
According to military authorities,
the wal is costing Germany about
twenty million marks ($5,000,000 a
day, inclusive of the money spent on
behalf of those who have been de-
prived Of their bread-winners.

The latest list of German casualties
shows very heavy losses. Losses of

There is strong evidence from the
inside of Brussels that something is
expected by the Germans there. For
instance, all the English nurses and
doctors who have been there since the
occupation have been ordered to de
part. Some have already gone.
1t is reported that all the wounded
irrespective of their condition, have
been moved out Of the city, and thai
some OF them died in the moving.

Throat Is Rabx,s Bank.

The combination of a penny and a
seventeen-months-old infant caused a
lot of excitement along the water
front near West F1fty-fourth street
east the other night, and almost result
ed in the death of the child. a
The baby is the SOL Of Louis Nc
Mann, a captain of the barge Rose
Goldrick, moored opposite the foot Of
West Forty-fourth street. A friend OF
the child's father gave the baby a
penny, which he at once banked in his
mouth, and the coin became lodged in
the child's windpipe. The man who
made the unfortunate gift ran ashore
and got Policeman Flick, who called an
ambulance from the Polytechnic hos
pital.
At the hospital it seemed as if the
child's life was extinct, but after some
effort Doctor Lott dislodged the cent
and restored respiration. The child
was later removed to his home.

A commercial traveller had been
talking his hardest, his most eloquent,
his most persuasive for nearly an hour
to a shrewd old Yorkshire business
man. The old fellow seemed convinced
and pleased, and the traveller thought
he had his fish landed. But the York
shire man said:

ye COON this afternoon and go over
your talk again?"
Certainly sir, with pleasure" re-
piled the traveller heartily, and at the
hour appointed presented himself
again for the interview with father
and SON.. Again he went over the
points of the article he had to sell
forcibly, eloquently, persuasively.
Never had he acquitted himself of a
finer selling talk"
When he had finished the old York
shire man turned to his son and said
enthusiastically: "Do you hear that,
Jock? Well, now, that's the way l
