GERMANS TRY To
SEIZE DUNK|RK,
BUT ARE FAILING


Paris, Oct. 20:-The Germans are
continuing their efforts to break
through the allies Gordon to attack
Dunkirk, the main objective of the
present campaign. Reports received
tell OF heavy fighting last night In
the vicinity of Dismude and Roulers.
A series of assaults in force were de-
liyered by Germans but, according to
military headquarters here, all failed,
There are significant rumors of inn
pending trouble for Germans in the
north by bold strike on the part
of the allies. Reports are current
here that the allies have been able to
land a strong force either at or near
Ostend under the guns of the British
ileet. If this should turn out to be
true the Germans will be menaced by
an attack from their rear. There Is,
however, absolutely no confirmation.
Those who credit the rumor point
out that the British fleet is in great
strength near the French and Belgian
seacoast towns and that with protec-
ton OF their guns an allied force,
either a naval brigade or an army
detachment could operate safe in the
knowledge that when the fighting be-
came too hot they could retire to
their transports under cover of great
feet guns.
Fighting without definite result
continues at Courtrai in the vicinity
of Lille and along the Liege river and
the LaBasse canal. 1t Is stated that
severe fighting continues on the east
ern front where Germans have re-
newed attempts to CROSS the Meusev
The French are also driving th&
mans through the passes OF the TOss
ges despite the handicap of bad
weather conditions. Announcement
of movement against the strong
German fortress of Metz is looked for
in the near future 1t is considered
certain here that if the present move
ment in the north succeeds it will be
possible to release goodly portion
of the army now there to reinforce
the French right wing. There are
plenty of indications that real Of
fensive has been planned in Alsace-
Lorraine and it cannot long be de-
ferred If 1t is to be completed before
winter sets in in earnest No de-
velopments are expected In the CEN

WANTS

Proprietorships again II the appli-
cation Of John N. Peterson, the pres
ent owner, to the court of chancery,
is granted. Through his attorney,
Assistant Prosecutor John A. Coan,
Mr.. Peterson has applied to the court
to be allowed to return the goods,
chattels and assets of the hostelry to
the receiver and to be reimbursed
his original deposit, minus such de-
probation which may have occurred
during his proprietorship, since De-
cember 8, 1918.
A hearing on the application is
being held tday before Vice Chan
cellor Emery In Newark. Joseph e.
Stricken represents the receiver,
John X. Sheehy and as counsel for
the latter is opposing the granting
of the application.
In the application the petitioner
states that when he purchased the
hotel from the receiver for $4,000 he
was under the impression that his
mortgage claim against the defunct
Packer House Hotel Company would
be allowed by the receiver in pref
erence to other claims. The mort
gage held by Mr.. Peterson repre-
sented the difference between the
deposit of 81, 500 he made on the
hotel and the price of $4,000, he
agreed to pay for its purchase.
After considerable litigation,
however, Vice Chancellor Emery
handed down a decision the first part
of August, 1914, confirming the
claim of William P. Mallon for $2,-
900, allowed by the receiver, and al
lowing the full claim of John S.
Taylor on the assets of the bankrupt
company, to the amount of $500.
The vice chancellor held that "a
chattel mortgage must not be held to
be a perferred claim against the
credit of a company whose claims
arose prior to the time of its re-
cording." AS the claims of Mr.. Tay
lor and Mr. Mallon originated March
/. 1913, it is declared, and the chat
tel mortgage held by Mr.. Peterson
was not officially recorded until
March 6, 1913, the first named
claims took preference over Mr. Pc.

Paris, Oct. 20.--That material

in the neighborhood of Champ de
Roumains. AS a whole the entire
situation.is described as satisfactory.

was evoked from the Y. NJ. c. A.

ly meeting. This is the first team
that has raised the amount eQuiva-
lent to the outstanding obligations
on the pledges that they secured. A
large portion of this amount was
raised through new subscriptions, so
the fact that team No. 8 has cleaned
the slate of the $3.50 does not release
any persons from their obligations

Contracts between the city and

the paving Of Amboy and New Bruins
wick avenues in this city were closed
at a meeting of the Board of Free
holders at New Brunswick yesterday
afternoon. Mayor Ferd, Garretson

peared before the county officials.

meeting of the freeholders at the
county seat next Monday afternoon
at which, it is expected, they will re-
ceive SIS, 900 as part of the money
necessary for the Improvement.
1t is maintained by city officials
that the thoroughfares in question
are important, both for local and
state travel They point out that both
are used extensively by tourists in
going to and from shore points and
are greatly used by tourists through
the state, for which reason the state
and county should contribute liber-
ally for keeping them in good condi-
ton.
