 Fierce combats on the river San and south of Przemysl which have been going on for more than three weeks, resulted on November in a retreat of the Austrians.
 "On the preceding night the Aus trians made a last effort to repulse our troops who were crossing the San. Until a late hour the enemy attacked on an extended front, talk ing the offensive in dense, successive lines but everywhere they suffered enormous losses and were repulsed.

KROONl.AND SAILS
 WITHOUT A CARGO

Washington, Nov. 7--The American steamer Kroonland has been released by British officers at Gibraltar an,1 will sail today leaving the copper and rubber of her cargo for a verdict of a prize court.
 The incfdent explained the distinc- ton the British government has made between f'seizing'' and 't7etaining''. a vessel. The Kroon1and. it developed, was merely detained and asked to dis charge her cargo for the determination of the question of ultimate destination. Acting Secretary Lansing, of the state department, says he had officially ceived no information showing that the copper aboard the KroonIand was destined for Krupps. It is a fact that German gun factories had been work ing overtime lately and that copper was in demand there.
 The vessel will probably proceed to Naples and thence to Greece.

Between the canal of La Bassee and .Arras as well as between Arras and the Disc, several counter attacks delivered by night and by day have been checked.

WOULD ABOLISH COURT TO DUST JUDGE C. fl. PECK Strong Movement On Foot to Combine Two Pro
 bate Districts
BILL BEING PREPARED
 FOR NEXT ASSEMBLY,
Judge Peck's Adherents Prepare to Do Battle to
 Retain His Position

A strong movement is on foot to combine the offices of judge of pro bate in Stratford and Bridgeport, similar to the amalga+nation of the post offices in the same city and town. Following the election of Judge Charles H. Peck of Stratford by a small majority, strong sentiment has arisen in the ranks of the younger Republicans to combine the two of 1ces,s placing the Stratford court un- der the dominion of Bridgeport. Whether this movement is successful or not, it is now planned to take the matter before the legislature for a vote, and at a, meeting of prominent Republicans held iii Stratford last night it was arranged that a bill look ing towards the consolidation should at once be drawn up.'
 That the adherents of Judge Peck will rally to his standard and contest the attack to the last ditch seems probable. though the opposition feel confident that with the support of the Republican representation from Strat ford, Bridgeport and Fairfield the proposed act will be carried.
 twill be remembered that the post office district of Stratford was con solidated with that of Bridgeport about two years ago. It is pointed out in Stratford that this has been beneficial to the mail service of the town and that with the probate dis trict under the Jurisdiction of Bridge port long standing feuds which have threatened to -rend the party in Strat- ford will be done away with.
 A movement to consolidate that portion of Stratford known as Ho1- lister Heights was frustrated about a year ago. The Peck faction predict that the present project will be as easily overcome.

David Lamar, Sought for a Year, Pleads "Not
 Guilty" Today
BAIL OF $3O,OOO IS DEMANDED BY COURT
Indictments Charge Him With Impersonating U. S.
 Government Officials

New York, Nov. David Lamar indicted on charge of impersonat- ing government officers with intent to defraud, pleaded not guilty today to each of three indictments and was held in s30,OOO bail.
 After escaping arrest for more than a year on an indictment charging inn personatfon of Representative A. Mitchell Palmer in a telephone con versation with Lewis Cass Ledya-d, Lamar, known as the Wolf of Wall Street. was arrested last night in the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria.
 Notorious for his ease of mannef in the most trying circumstances, La mar attempted to preserve an air of indifference until the cell door "clang- ed behind him
 When Charles J. Scully and Joseph e. Tucker, special agents of the De pertinent of Justice, approached him in the Peacock Alley of the Wal dorf and told him he was under arrest Lamar finched for a moment. But he regained his composure in an in stant and probably none of the before dinner crowds that thronged the ''al- 9sey'' knew the impressive looking man in 8, brown cutaway and flowing green Ascot had just been arrested charged with a felony.
 In July, 1913, Lamar aStonished the country by admitting frankly before the Senate Lobby Investigating Com Inittee in washington that he had inn personated Representative A. Mitchell Palmer in telephoning to Lewis Cass Ledyard, because he wanted to have Edward Ia,nterbach employed as at- torney by tae J. Pierpont Morgan firm.
 He confessed also, to many other Representations.
 Lamar had waived immunity and the Federal Grand Jury indicted him, charging violation of Section g of the Criminal Code of the United States. Later a -supplementarv indictment charged him with representing that he was acting with the authority of Speaker Champ Clark.
 Lamar was arrested in washington and released on $s,OoO bail His bail was forfeited in October, 1913. Since then the Federal authorities here have been on the lookout for him.
 Lamar, however, said last night he has been in the Peacock Alley of the Waldorf every day for the last three weeks
