Of BEEF
MAY GO UP HERE

The wholesale price OF beef may
be boosted few points here follow
ing the quarantining of cattle. sheep
and swine in Pennsylvania, Illinois,
New York, Maryland, Indiana, Mich
igan, Ohio and Wisconsin, under the
orders of the government, because Of
the prevalence of the foot and mouth
disease. shipment of live stock is
absolutely prohibited from these
states to another.
Up until the present there has
been no incrSase here, though In New
York retail prices of beef have been
boosted In some instances two cents
per pound AS the wholesale deal
ers here do not depend on the i'm
portance of live stock, and buy their
beef, pork and mutton already killed
and dressed, prices may not be af-
fected In this city. 1t is the belief
of the wholesale dealers here, how
ever that the soaring of the price
will depend on the duration of the
embargo, and whether it is extended
to more states than are at present
under quarantine.

Beginning with next Wednesday a
number of progressive merchants of
Perth Amboy will conduct mid
week bargain SALE which will be
known as Suburban Day." when
they will cut prices to induce shop
pers to this city. Not only will they
reduce the quotations on all kinds
OF seasonable goods, but they win
refund the fares of out of town shop
pers, as was done during the fare
refunding week, which closed Octo-
ber 81. The merchants during that
sale made the acquaintance of hun
dreds of new customers and desire to
make friends with hundreds more.
But. the fare-refunding will be for
the regular patron just as much as
for the customer visiting Perth Am
boys stores for the first time.
The object of the "midweek sale"
Is to make Perth Amboy the center
of attraction for shoppers within a
radius of fifteen to twenty-five miles,
and the business men are willing to
share part of their profits to gain
this distinction and the consequent
trade which 1t will bring into the
city Already the merchants have
regular patrons from places as far
northward as Railway, and as far
southward as Matawan. They have
regular customers from towns and
villages as near New York as Great

sonable goods and will bear prices

stances even in the stores of New

The merchants of the city declare
they are willing to set aside one day
| In seven as Suburban Day" or the
mid-week bargain day, when they
will share profits with customers.
The business men have become op-
timistic since the fare-refunding sale

shoppers, in ratio rivaling the shop
ping centers of New York and

GERMANS MASS
At LILLE FOR
RAID ON COAST
Special By United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wsre.
Paris, Nov. 7:-Once more Lille
holds the center of attention along
the lighting line in the north. The
Germans are massing troops there In
enormous numbers. 1t is considered
certain that they will now make an
other attempt to win through to the
coast from the south of Lille.
Success would isolate large al
lied force and cut the coast line OF
communication. 1t Is known, how
ever, that this will be an almost inn
possible task as the forces opposing
the Germans here have been heavily
reinforced. The Belgian govern
ment officially confirms the fHcts
an attempt to demolish the headqnnos
ters Of the German general stan et
Chielr while the kaiser ana HIS chi1t
generals were in the building failed.
Having received report that the
kaiser was to have part of the troops
in that vicinity, British aviators pro-
ceeded to the scene flying very high.
They swooped down across the cha
teau, which was occupied by the
Duke of Woertenberg and staff and
launched half a dozen bombs, demol-
ishing the building. Twenty civil
ians and minor staff officers were
wounded and two soldiers killed. The
kaiser had left twenty minutes be-
fore in an armored car.
According to reports from the
front today the fighting continues
without definite results In the Ar,
gonne, where Germans are endeavor-
ing to win through to the south. The
general situation is described as ex-
cellent and many OF the high officials
at headquarters here Insist the Ger
mans may be expected to commence
a general withdrawal at any time.
Advices from the front say the al
lies are pushing north between the
flooded area of Belgium and the
ocean, apparently with the intention
OF occupying Ostend. Germans are
reported to have heavily entrenched
to the northeast of Ostend and to be
preparing for an expected attack
There was severe fighting on the
French right wing where Germans
are endeavoring to break the ad-
vance towards Metz.

Petrograd, Nov 7--All Russia is
today celebrating what is officially
characterized as the greatest victory
of the war" Official accounts agree
that the general advance against
Berlin halted when the Germans in
vaded Russian Poland in force, has
now been, resumed. Three great
armies are pressing forward. The
Russian right wing under General
Rennenkamps is reported to have
pushed across the East Prussian
frontier. It's objective will be Koe-
nigsbery. The Russian central army
which decisively defeated the Ger
mans in front of Warsaw is keeping
up its westward movement and IL
severely harassing the Germans, who
at several times attempted to resume

losses.
In Galieia the Austro-German
forces have been defeated all along
the line of the San river, with the
exception of small section around
Przemysl, which has been screened
The Austrians are falling back on
Cracow and the Russians are headed
for this position. 1t is stated the
losses OF the Austro-German army
have been very large In the last three
weeks. They have stubbornly at
tempted to retain their position in
the face of severe artillery fire
with the result that many men have
been needlessly sacrificed. During
the last week 1t is stated $4,000
prisoners have been taken, including
some officers of high rank, The
Russians have captured large guam
titles Of war munition. cannon, auto
mobile guns and rapid firers
The Germans are suffering greatly
from lack of proper clothing for cold
weather fighting. In the north there
have been heavy SHOWS and In the
south sleet and cold rain, The entire
country is a quagmire. The ROADS
have been cut up by heavy transports
and are sloughed of mushy mud
more than a foot deep. The Rus
SLAMS are equipped for meeting such
conditions while the Germans arc
not.
Advices from the Turkish frontier
say the Russian advance is continu-
ing unchecked. Only Caucasian
troops are engaged. although REIN
forcements are being sent to their
aid as they will be compelled TO
penetrate mountainous country
through which there are no railroads
and only Indifference roads for a dis

Special to the ETENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Nov. Tt was
itimated here today that Richard Won
krebs, alleged madman, muir lerer of
Mrs. Henry Riehl, had fed from New
York city and is now in other quar-
ters, probably back In this part of
the state At the office Of the pros
ecutor of pleas 1t Was stated today
that Won Krebs had not been cap
tured. When an official there was
asked il the mad man was still at
large in New York city, he stated
that Won Krebs had not been cap
tured as yet, but he was not IN a po
sition to state as to where it was
believed he might be found. Au
thorities of the county, as Well as
the police of this city, are conducting
vigilant search for Won krebs.
At st. Peters hospital here it was
stated this morning that Mr.. Riehl,
who it was believed was fatally
wounded by the alleged mad man,
just before Mrs. Riehl was shot, was
doing nicely. He was shot twice.
One of the wounds was in the stom-
ach. Continual Improvement during
the past several hours has indicated
that the victim may recover
- Commenting ua0n the Won krshs
case today, State Senator William Il.
Ramsay, who Is noted as physician
and specialist upon insanity cases de-
plored the conditions here that per-
mitted such men as Won Krebs and
similar insane criminals to be at
large. The physician repeated his
Al. ,.%c IL nF
state hospital for the crimiually In
sane, from which they could not gain
release. He praised the editorial
published In the EVENING NEWS
Yesterday and declared that there
are dangerously insane persons at
large, whom he contended should
properly be confined in an institu-
ton where they could not harm 9TH
ers. In. speaking about the great
need for an institution for the Grim
nallv insane, DR.. Ramsay referred
briefly to the Heron and DR.. Prick
ett case of Metuchen of few years
ago Regarding Won Krebs, he stat
ed that both Dr. Booth and he had
advised more than five years ago
that Won Krebs be retained In an in
stitution, they contending that he
was a dangerous man to be permit
ted to be at large. The physician
had since spoken several times about
the case and advised that Won Krebs
be held in restraint.
DR.. Ramsay advocates strongly the
establishment of a department in
this state for the retention Of the
criminally insane; department
wherein they would be held as In
states prison, regardless Of what ef-
forts might be made by relatives or
friends to procure their liberty. He
referred to the adoption of place
here similar to Matteawan and 9TH
ers OF it's kind.
Under present conditions, it Is
claimed to be too easy matter to
procure the liberty of an inmate. no
matter how insane the person might
have been or how many crimes
might have been committed.
