Sensational Suit

London, Nov. William Waldorf
Astor is defendant in an action before
Justice Rowlatta in the high courts
brought by Mrs. Alice Alexandria
Falcke of Green Cottage, Kineton,
Warwickshire, who sought to recover
payments in arrears under an alleged
agreement entered into between Mr..
Astor and herself for the support of
her child. of whom Mrs. Falcke claims
the expatriated American millionaire
is the father
Great secrecy was aimed at. Shortly
after the case was called Sir Edward
Carson, counselor for Mr.. Astor, had a
few minutes talk with Compton Smith,
X. c., who was appearing for Mrs.
Falcke, following which it was an
nounced that the case had been set
tied subject to certain details being
worked out. The case was then ad.
journed.

LEVEL OF PRICES is LOWER
Government Report Attributes De-
crease to Prospective Crops.

Washington, Nov 2S.-A decrease
of about IL per cent in the level of
prices paid American producers for
the principal crops during October is
noted by the department of agricul-
ture. Exclusive OF cotton, the de-
cline was 261 per cent For the past
six years the prince level has de-
creased during October 4.3 per cent.
The department attributes two
causes for the unusual decline this
year: First, to steady Improvement
in prospective yield during October;
second. to the leveling downward re-
sulting from a transition from year
of small production and high prices
to year of large production and low
er prices, notably in case of corn and
potatoes.

LOSS OF BATTLESHIP
NOT YET EXPLAINED

London, Nov. 2S.-Secret inquiry
has been started into the blowing up
of the battleship Bulwark off Sheer
ness. when 500 officers and men were
lost.
Naval experts are totally unable to
explain the destruction of the Bull
wark upon the theory that the explo-
sion was accidental, unless it was
caused by deteriorated ammunition.
That such could be the cause, how
ever, is considered most unlikely be-
cause of the frequent tests made
aboard the ship and the fact that the
Bulwarks magazines were protected
by the latest designs.
The spy and submarine terrors run
rampant in London The contention
of the admiralty that the explosion
was certainly internal has by nc
means satisfied the public.
Some OF the papers criticise the au
thorities for lack of vigilance about
government docks. AS all London
has been wild upon the subject of
spies FOR months ii is insisted that
German agents would have little trou-
BILE operating in some of the ship
yards.
1t is believed that the destruction
of the Bulwark may go down in his
tory as great a mystery as the blowing
up of the United States battleshir
Maine in Havana harbor.

Reports Of Struggle
Conflicting.
PRINCIPAL FIGHTING
IS STAGED IN POLAND
Only Sporadic Engagements Are
Occurring in West.

London, Nov. 2S.-At few times
since the European war began, near
" four months ago, have reports
from the various fields of battle, scat
tered from the North sea to the west
ern fringe of Asia, been so incom-
plete and confusing as is the case at
present. So far as can be learned
from official announcements there is
little change in the alignment OF the
opposing forces in any quarter, not
withstanding the fact that operations
of the highest Importance are under
way.
The situation in Russian Poland, at
present the scene of the most impor-
tant conflict, has become one OF the
most puzzling phases OF the war. An
Official Austrian statement is to the
effect that the fighting has assumed
the character of continuous battle
In Western Galicia, it is said, the Rus
slams have been repulsed by the Aus
trians, and the latest official advices
from Berlin state that the outcome
has not yet been decided, although
partial German victories are reported.
The Berlin statement says there
were no decisive engagements in Po-
land.
No Word Officially.
Opposed 10 these statements are the
II pafrnQTQd
Paris and London that Germany has
been defeated decisively, and Earl
Kitchener's announcement In parlia-
ment that Germany has suffered the
greatest reversal of the war For sew
eral days these claims have been
made, with the utmost confidence. yet
the Russian war Office withholds any
word of decisive developments.
In some particulars a similar situa-
tion prevails in the western area OF
war. London expected this week
would witness one of the most i'm
portant and dealy struggles of the war
as the result of a renewed German
effort to break through to the English
channel. Official statements, how
ever, indicate only sporadic lighting is
in progress, and as to the results
there is no reconciling the reports
from Berlin and Paris. In any event
the reported gains by either side here
have been small and of little strategic
value.
That the Germans still possess Dix
nude, which unofficial advices said
had been recaptured by French ma
rines. Is indicated by the French ON
cial statement which says that two
German infantry attacks directed
against the heads OF bridges which
the allies had thrown down on the
right bank of the User, to the soutf
OF Dixmude, were easily repulsed.

NAMING OF PANIC STARTER
Calumet, Mich, Jan. 2.-While
Federation officials are satisfied they
know the man who yelled Fire" and
started the Christmas Eve panic, At
tOrney Hilton for the Federation de-
cided to offer no testimony to the
coroner because he didn't believe it
was conclusive, and didn't want to
direct suspicion against man who
might be innocent.
There were several deputies and
members of the Citizens Alliance in
the saloon under Italian Hall just be-
fore the panic started. One of them,
who wore both deputy's star and an
Alliance button, came rushing into
the hall right after the panic and
said to his companions:
For Gods sake don't say any
thing" And he broke down and cried.
There was other evidence, and
plenty of it to prove that the man
who cried Fire" wore Citizens
Alliance button, but Attorney Hilton
thought it best under the circum-
stances to withhold the evidence.
The coroner's jury's verdict was
that the panic was caused by shout
of fire by somebody within the hall.
No reference was made to the. tes-
timony that the man wore an ALI
ance button.

dent of the street railway mems I'M
