Bankrupt, Bought Hotel.

Involuntary proceedings in bank
ruptcy have been filed against George
H. Robinson of Roselle, who less than
two years ago Inherited about $500 900
from his mother. The alleged bank
rupt is said to owe $4,000 for per-
sonal accounts which, creditors allege,
he refuses to pay. United States
Commissioner Edwin r. Semple, upon
petition of George Furst, representing
creditors, has been appointed receiv-
er by Judge Rellstab in the United
States District Court. Rollins & Rol-
Inns, counsel for Mr.. Robinson in New
York City, said that their client would
probably be able to pay his liabilities
in full. They declared his estate had
been poorly managed, but that it
could still be made to pay. They de-
clared he owned several valuable
pieces of real estate in New York.
According to Mr.. Furst, Robinson has
made umerou improbable invest
ments in various parts of the coun-
try. During the past summer, Mr..
Furst says, Robinson purchased the
Hotel Ellington at Richfield Springs,
N. Y, for $4,000 and then refused
to allow any one to stop at it except
himself. Mr.. Furst also declares that
Robinson gave Sullivan & Cromwell,
attorneys of New York City, $50, GOO
with which to purchase a gold mine
in California. The investment, &C
cording to the local attorney was a
total failure. Robinson was a stock
holder in the Carnegie Trust Company
Of New York City, and is said to
have lost heavily when that concern
failed. Several weeks ago Henry G.
Fuller & Co. of New York City obtain
ed a judgment for $4,000 against Rob
inson in the New York Supreme Court
and Saul Baerlein was appointed re.
ceiver for Robinson's estate in that
State. The liabilities alleged against
Robinson amount to $4,000. The cash
assets of the Roselle man are said
to amount to $4,000. Robinson is
about thirty-five years old and ha.
figured in newspaper stories before,
He Is said to be fond Of spending
money, although more than usually
lucky in acquiring funds through be-
quests from relatives.

New York Financler Believes Balance

Favor of United States-Gratlfy-
ing Improvement In Business.

New York.-Reports received in this
city from nearly every section Of the
country indicate that it is feeling the
stimulus of large war orders from
the European belligerents.
One foreign government has deposit
ed 100000 to pay for tanned hides
purchased from a Peabody, Mass,
leather concern. At the same time.
Lynn, Brockton and Haverhill shoe
manufacturers have contracts.
The Endicott-Johnson Company, OF
Lestershire, has just completed its
order for 100000 pairs of shoes for
Greece. The shoes filed IS cars.
One-half of the order was paid in
advance. The same company has also
contracted for the delivery Of an
other 100, 900 pairs.
Max May, vice president Of the
Guaranty Trust Company, who

will be established to the credit Of
the United States.
There has been extensive buying
of automobiles and auto trucks by
foreign agents. A Syracuse concern
will receive $720, 900 from England
for 200 motor trucks. Some of the
machines will be shipped to that coun-
try and to France. The Packard
Motor Company is filing a contract
for $50 trucks and the Federal fac
tory has orders for 800. Henry Ford
reports an order for 1000 cars to be
used as ambulances.
Var orders are flowing into the
Chicago district, the manufacturers
there having received contracts for
leather for shoes, harness, saddles,
automobile trucks, barb wire and
other hardware supplies.
Several thousand tons of steel will
be required at the start for the con-
struction of London omnibuses, and
there are now a number of inquiries
in this market for it.
An American syndicate is reported
to have proposed to the Argentine
Minister Of Agriculture to construct
250 grain elevators in that country.
It is said that the original capital
will be $4,000, 900 gold, which VIII
be increased to $4,000, 900 as occasion
requires. The petitions ask for per-
mission to issue warrants, the Gov
eminent to have a participation Of 80

War Horrors Along
User Battle Reporters
Descriptive Powers

London.-The News" reporter who
has been in an armored train to the
banks Of the User, gives a good
description of the battle in the north.
He says:
The battle RACES along the User
with frightful destruction of life. Air
engines, sea-engines, and land-engines
deathsweep this desolate country YER
tically, horizontally, and t~ransversely.
Through it the little frail human en-
gines crawl and dig, walk and III
skirmishing, charging, and blunder-
ing in the little individual fights and
tussles, tired and puzzled, ordered
here and there, sleeping where they
can never washing, and dying unno-
ticed. A friend may find himself fir
ing on a friendly force and few are
to blame.
First the Germans were driven
back over the User; then they secured
a footing again, and next day they
were again hurled back. Now a bridge
blown up by one side is repaired by
the other; it is again blown up by
the first, or left as a death trap till
the enemy is actually crossing.
Action by armored trains, some
of them the most reckless adventures,
are attempted daily. Each day &C
cumulates an unwritten record of in
dividual daring feats, accepted as part
of the daily work. Day by day our
men push out on these dangerous
plorations, attacked by shell fire, in
danger of cross fire, dynamite, and
ambuscades, bringing a priceless sup
port to the threatened lines. AS the
armored train approaches the river
under shell fire the car cracks with
the constant thunder Of guns aboard.
1t is amazing to see the angle at
which the guns can be swung.
And overhead the airmen are busy
venturing through fog and puffs of
exploding shells to get one small fact
of information. w used to regard
the looping Of the loop of the Ger
mans overhead as a h~are-brained piece
of impudent defiance to our infantry
fire. Now we know it mean early
trouble for the infantry.
Besides us, as we crawl up shifting
the lines like dogs on a scent, grim
trainloads of wounded wait sound
lessly in the sidings. Further I'D the
line ambulances are coming slowly
The Penn's Grove record., 1914-10-30

Paris.-The one fact that stands
out in Gen. Joffre's reports from the
battle front is that the Germans have
been fought to a standstill from the
North Sea to the Disc.
Their hard won success in crossing
the River User has availed them moth
ing so far.
The Belgium army, heavily reinforc-
ed by the British and French, held its
own. amid scenes of what many cor,
respondents call the bloodiest carnage
of the war, and the Germans could not
gain an inch of ground.
On the coast, at Newport, a hot
big gun duel ragged between the French
and British warships and the heavy
German artillery brought up from Ant
werp, and the unfortunate port was
shot to pieces without either side gain
ing any great advantage.
The opposing armies are delivering
fierce attacks, gaining or losing a few
miles or less of ground with sacrifices
in life that are appalling.
The whole countryside is fairly reek-
ing with the blood Of thousands OF
killed or wounded.
In the towns and villages, with
which the country is dotted, and most
of which have been laid in ruins by
the artillery, most desperate fighting
has occurred when the cavalry and
infantry came into contact.
Both sides speak of the heavy losses
they have imposed on their adversar-
les, but say nothing of their W dead
or wounded, to fill the places of whom
reinforcements are being brought for
ward.
The British feet, which did such ex-
ecution in bombarding the German
flank as they advanced along the
coast, seems to have withdrawn.
The Germans say this was because
their artillery was beginning to reach
the ships.
The belief is expressed here, how
ever, that the feet will be able to
render untenable German occupation
of any part of the Belgian or French
coast.

WARS LATEST PHASES

RUSSIA.-The Austro-G erman forces
have apparently been able to reform
their lines and have taken up a
fortified position which was formed
about three weeks ago. They have
made a determined stand and a
great battle is now raging near
Yedinsko, north of Radon, in south
Poland. The King of Saxony is in
command of the Austro-German
forces, which are estimated at
about 100000 men. The Russian
force is 500, 900.
ITALY.-Italy is discussing the offer
of the Car to return to Italy the
Italians who we're taken prisoners
in the Austrian army. The condi.
ton that the Gar made was that
Italy should give her promise that
these prisoners would not re-enter
the Austrian army. By many in
Italy it is held that to make this
promise would be a violation OF
Italy's neutrality, and for that
reason a conference probably will
be held with Austria before Italy
replies to Russia.
FRANCE-German forces have cross.
ed the User between Newport and
Dixmude. A violent battle con.
tinues between Newport and the
River Lys. West and south of Lille
the French have repulsed German
attacks. In the Woevre French ar,
tillery commands the road from
Thiaucourt to Woinville, one of the
principal German lines of communi.
cation toward st. Mihiel. On the
heights of the Mouse an artillery
duel is in progress. In the Ar.
come forest a German infantry
regiment was annihilated.
GERMANY. An official announce
ment from Berlin says the .envelop.
ing movement of the Allies directed
against the German right flank has
been stopped and that the Germans
are pushing the enemy slowly back
in a southwark course. The total
number of prisoners confined in Ger.
many on October 81 is given as
5,401 officers and 291,468 men, in.
Guiding six French, eighteen Rus.
sian and three Belgian Generals. II
is reported that it was the German
submarine U-9 which sank the Brit
ish cruiser Hawke.

cities for her soldiers.
Mr.. Whitlock has had only peas

the supply of that is short. One

Families formerly rich are discharg-

bankrupt. Noblemen may be seen
slipping into soup kitchens.
The factories are closed. Many
stores remain open, but have no bust
ness. The street cars are being oper-
ated, but the railway train service
has been abandoned. The supplies of
coffee, tea, -four, rye, and salt are
practically exhausted.

YOU'LL GET RID OF
BLACKHEADS SURE

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
blackheads and that is to dissolve
them.
To do this get about two ounces Of
plain powdered neroxin from any drug
store-sprinkle little on hot, wet
sponge-rub over the blackheads
briskly-wash the parts and you will
be surprised how the blackheads have
disappeared. Big blackheads,. little
blackheads, no matter where they are.
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving
the parts without any mark whatever.
Blackheads are simply a mixture of
dust and dirt and secretions from the
body that form in the pores OF the
skin. Pinching and squeezing only
cause irritation, make large pores, and
do not get the blackheads out after
they become hard. The powdered ner-
oxin and the water simply dissolve the
blackheads SO they wash right out,
leaving the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition. Anyone
troubled with these unsightly blem.
ishes should certainly try this simple
method.

BOYS ASK PERMITS
To LEAVE SCHOOL

With the opening of city schools
only three weeks off. boys and girls
between the ages or fourteen and six
teen years are making application to
leave school and work. The indica.
tions are that twice the number of last
years work permits will be issued.
George Bishop, truant officer, open
ed his fall work about week ago in
the office of County Superintendent
Williams at the court house. Mr..
Bishop is the only official authorized
to issue the permits. .
Whereas, formerly the school chill
dren had to leave summer jobs to re-
turn to school, the new law now gives
them a chance to keep their places
through the winter.
