GIRL AT PLAY
FALLS IN SEWER
Dress Catches Projection and
ReScuer Saves Her from Be-
ing Swept into Bay.

The catching of her dress on a pro-
lection in a sewer into which she fell
last evening saved fve-year-old Fannie
Pollock, of 297 Hegeman ST., East Ney
York, from being swept mile through
the sewers Of Brooklyn and into Ja-
maica Bay. The child fell through a
manhole while at play.
With her sisters, Margaret and Cath
crime, the little girl was playing in
Powell ST., near New Lots Road. A
manhole cover had ben dislodged by
the passing Of truck. and the child
fell into the hole, dropping twelve feet
One of her sisters succeeded in grasp
ing her hand as she fell, but could not
retain her hold.
The cries of the children brought
Charlie Reilly, fifteen years old, who
obtained a rope. Darkness had set in,
but the cries of the child made it evil
dent that she had not been swept away.
The rope was dropped into the hole
and she was given instructions to grasp
il, but the child's strength was not
sufficient to warrant trying to pull her
from the sewer. Meanwhile. call was
sent in for the Fire Department.
A crowd gathered, including the
girls mother, and Herbert Miller,
urged by the frantic appeals OF Mrs.
Pollock, succeeded in finding a ladder
long enough for the purpose. While
Miller was descending the sewer the
firemen arrived, but Miller was able
to bring the child to the surface un-
assisted.
The girl was unconscious, but was
revived by DR.. Blankenship, Of Brad
ford Street Hospital. She sustained
a slight scalp wound in her fall.

KAISER TELLS NEED
OF CLOSE FORMATION
Saws That Soldiers Must Have
Some One Near for Psyche
logical Comfort.
lBy Cable to The Tribune. I

London, Oct 23.-Light is thrown
on the question why the Germans
use a close formation when it brings
such disastrous results, as is described
in frequent dispatches from the front,
by a conversation which Lord Roberts
once had with the Kaiser when Lord
Roberts went to Germany to witness
man1uvres.
Lord Roberts during these rnaneuvres
noticed the German close forma-
tions, and remarked to the Kaiser
that he supposed that this formation
would not be used in an actual battle.
The Kaiser replied that it would. Then
Lord Roberts expressed some surprise,
having noticed the danger Of such
tactics.
The Kaiser said the formation must
be used else the soldiers wouldn't
90 forward, that being their tempera-
ment. They must have some one
within reach. evidently just for
psychological comfort, before adYanc-
ing on the enemy.

RASH TAUBE GETS
CAUGHT AT DUNKIRK
German Aero Is Carried
Through Streets of City
in Triumph.
[By Gable TO The Tribune. I

London, Oct. 24.-"The Daily Chron-
icle" publishes the following dispatch
from correspondent at Dunkirk,
France: %
II am writing this dispatch to the
sound of heavy rife firing in the
streets Of this town. A German Taube
has just been flying above US and re-
ceiving its customary salute Of bullets,
but it has disappeared in the direction
Of 0stend without doing or receiving
any damage.
"This is the second aerial call Ger
mans have paid Dunkirk to-day. About
Q o'clock this morning Taube hovered
ever the town for considerable period.
The aviator paid dearly for his temer-
ity, for his machine was badly dam
aged by shot and he was forced to
descend outside the town, only to find
himself and the machine Immediately
captured The Taube has just been led
in triumph through the streets of the
town. 1t now appears certain that the
Germans have been shelled out Of their
positions at 0stend. Small patrols,
however, were reported to be in the
town itself Yesterday morning. The
bombardment by the British and
French naval guns of the German right
has cleared the coast from Nieuport
to Ostend of the enemy for a distance
of several miles into the interior. The
Germans are reported to be democrat
lied and the reply of their artillery for
once is sadly Intellectual.
Splendid work has been done here
by the British Red Cross detachment,
which was formerly at Client, in charge
of DR.. Hector Munroe. A member of
the staff told me the following details
of an exciting trip recently made:
"'We left for Dixmude, he said, yes
terday afternoon with two ambulances
and two motor cars. As soon as we
arrived at Dixmude we ran straight
into a shell fire. Not fifty yards from
us the ch mney of a large factory was
struck by a shell and crashed into the
street. Under she'll and shrapnel fire
we proceeded cautiously TO the Town
Hall, where we received the wounded,
who had just been brought in from
the firing line. Cars and ambulances
were waiting outside when a she'll
burst with terrific force, not fifteen
yards away.
1--WE waited, however, to get our full
load of wounded, and while doing so
shrapnel hit our car, rending the roof
into splinters. By q miracle, no one
was hurt. Finally we started back.
The shrapnel again hit our car, but our
chauffeur, a plucky boy of nineteen,
bent low over the steering gear and
we got away in safety"
The narrator added that the fields in
the neighborhood of Furnes and Dix
nude were choked with German dead,
so desperate had the fighting been. The
Germans left in a hurry, without
thought of burying their dead or as
sisting their wounded. While he was
in Dixmude German shell struck the
house in which were resting twenty
seven Belgians. Not one escaped"

F. J. Gassmann, a furnace installer

There were no witnesses TO the acci-
dent, so far as Acting Coroner Jones
could learn, but he was able TO piece
out the details by tracing the course of
the machine on the newly-oiled roads.
Dr. Howard NJ. Phipps was in his
kitchen when he heard a roar From
the crash and muffied cries he knew
that another auto had come to grief.
He said the roar indicated a sped Of
at least fifty miles an hour.
As the car started to make the
curve it skidded directly toward q
large tree in front of the home OF

Peters, president of the Long Island
Railroad. Then, apparently, the driver

skid, plainly marked on the roadway

one Of them left the rim.

Two of the bodies were forty fee,

REINFORCED ARMY
STRIKES AT BELGIANS
British and French Now in
Fighting from Dixmude
Toward La BaSsee.
PARIS ADMITS GAINS AT
POINTS BY INVADERS
Struggle Now in Progress in
Arras Region Equals in Vio-
lence That of Marne.

Paris, Oct. 23.-The Germans have
undertaken a general offensive move
ment along the line extending from tbs
mouth of the River User, on the North
Sea, to the River Meuse, and while
they have compelled the Allies to give
ground in some places they themselves
hav lost positions in others. This, in
few words, is what is gathered from
official reports coming this evening
from both the French and the German
headquarters.
The German attack to-day was par
ticularly severe in the west, where their
right wing, strongly reinforced By
fresh troops, attempted an advance
against the Belgians, who are holding
the Allies extreme left. This left rests
on the coast and is supported by Eng
lish and French wsrshibs and by Anglo
French troops, which form front from
r point somewhere in the vicinity OF
Dixmude southwark to La Bassee
Canal.
Both sides claim successes, but the
French alone admit that in places they
have been compelled to fall back. It
appears, however, that the swinging
and swaying Of the lines is the same as
has been going on for weeks.
Decisive Stroke 70 Come.
Although it is just two months nov
since the Allies concentrated on the
Franco Belgian frontier to oppose the
German advance and the invaders have
been almost to Paris and back in the
interval, no decisive battle has been
fought. Neither side has destroyed or
partially destroyed an army. Even the
Belgian army escaped almost intact
after their country was oyerrun by the
Germans.
An Amsterdam dispatch says heavy
battle is raging in Belgium about
thirty miles south OF the Ghent-Bruges
line and north of Roulers, which was
again bombarded by the Germans
Thursday.
"Fugitives from Roulers declare" !"
says the correspondent, "that forty in
habitants of that town were shot by
the Germans during the invaders oe-
eupation and that all the prominent
citizens were taken as hostages.

Philadelphia, Oct 23.-Miss Helen
Taft daughter Of the former Presi-
dent, who headed large delegation of
Bryn Mawr College girls in protest
against the recent elimination Of the
college cut system, last night was po-
lltely but firmly snubbed by Miss NJ.
Carey Thomas, president of Bryn
Mawr. when she turned on her heel
and walked from the meeting which
the students had arranged.
A general students strike now is
imminent. Under the old system OF
cuts for classroom and lecture work
the girls were permitted to attend or
not, as they pleased, but now they are
penalized for cutting. They object to
this on the ground that the ruling is
a reflection on their self-governing
organization.
News of the snub administered by
Miss Thomas spread throughout the
campus, and to-day rumors of sum-
mary retaliation on the students part
are rife.
