BARREL MURDER
MYSTERY AGAIN
PUZZLES POLICE
New York Has Another
Case of East Side Crime
That Rivals in Intere,. the
Famous Barrel Murder Of
Some Years Ago.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. 18.-A mystery SIM
liar to the famous East Side Barrel
murder some years ago, today con-
fronted local police. They are search
ing for a clue to the murder OF Luigi
Macaluso, aged %, who was shot
through the heart, his body stuffed
into barrel, carried to a lonely street
under the Queensborough bridge and
left there, to be found early today
before the warmth had left the body.
Macaluso lived in that section of
Manhattan's East side bes. known to
the police as the home of gangsters
and gunmen. He himself had served
a sentence for carrying a pistol and
detectives seeking to unravel the mys-
terry of his death thought it due to a
feud between rival gangs. Two men
unloaded the barrel from truck, rolled
it to the side walk and stood it on end.
Then they 1eaped back on their truck
whipped their horses and dashed away.
A woman who had seen the actions
of the men went to the barrel and
looked in. She saw the body which had
been stuffed into it, and hastily called
the police.

HEAVY FIGHTING
WITH NO CHANGE

WAR THEATRES.
Germans Continue Their
Bombardment and Allies
Say They Are Holding
Their Lines : Austrians
and Germans Stop Re-
treating and Turn on the
Russians.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. 18.-The latest Off
cial communications regarding the Op-
erations on the western battlefields
are much the same as those of The
preceding days. There has been fight
ing virtually all along the front, but
without appreciable change in the sit
uation. From. the Flanders coast to
the Lys river, on the Franco-Belgian
border the Germans have continued,
on a somewhat smaller scale, a bonn
bardment in the hope of breaking
the allies line. Isolated infantry at
tacks under cover Of the bombardment
also were continued, but according to
the Anglo French reports they nave
been repulsed.
The Anglo-French forces around
Ypres again have been subjected 10
determined attacks, fresh German
troops attempting to force the allies
from the trenches. The Germans APP
peared to have taken the first trench
line, but were compelled to fall back
after holding the ground a sh vt time
The casualty lists show both sides are
losing heavily, but the Germans, on
the offensive and so often enfiladed
after success was nearly in their
hands are said to have suffered enor-
mously.
Reports from France that the Ger
mans are preparing to make another
to reach the coast through
LaBassee lack confirmati ton.
In the east the Germans and Aus
trians have turned, after their re-
treat, to face the Russians in East
Prussia, in Poland and before Cracow.
Each region probably will provide
big battle, but the most important is
in Poland, where the Germans are
sending their strongest and best ar
mics.
Concerning the fighting in the Bal
kans and near the east only scraps
Of information reach the outside |
world. In South Africa, the breaking !
up of additional rebel commanders |
and capture of guns, ammunition and |
provisions are reported.
1t was discovered officially today |
that the Indian troops are being en-
ployed against the Germans in East !
Africa. The British casualties to date |
total nine hundred. indicating there |
has been heavy fighting.
