House Is Robbed as
Party Guests TANGO.

A burglar, who took advantage of
the enthusiasm with which Atlanta
young people dance the tango and
the hesitation to carry away jewels
valued at several hundred dollars
from the home of Mrs. Z. M. Powers,
No. 81 Williams street is being sought
by detectives Wednesday.
While the burglar calmly ransacked
the upper part of the house, thirty
guests of Mrs. Powers son and
daughter, Homer and Miss Euna
Powers, made merry in the parlor and
drawing room below.
Mrs. Powers listed the stolen jew
els with the police as follows: One
gold watch set with six diamonds and
a ruby; one gold link gracelet; three
lockets, with gold chains; one laval
liere, with gold chain; one gold ring;
one Masonic pin and one Elk pin.
Pawnshops Watched.
Detectives are watching downtown
pawnshops and have notified the
owners of the places to inform head
quarters if any of the jewels are Of
fered for pawn.
The police declare the robbery was
one of the boldest of the present
open season" for footpads and
thieves. The burglar entered the
mouse through back door and
slipped carefully up the stairway
while the dancing was going on.
passing an open doorway where he
would have been in full view of the
crowd had they not been so absorbed
in the dance.
Hostess Heard Noise.
He went upstairs and searched
every room on the second floor, taking
the Jewels out Of a drawer of the
dressing table in Mrs Powers room.
As he came downstairs again Miss
Euna Powers heard him walking
through the back of the house and
shouted: who's there?"
She received no answer, save the
soft closing of the door, and paid very
little attention to the circumstance,
thinking the noise was made by one
OF the guests
An hour after the last of the guests
had gone the theft was discovered.

have been repulsed. AT some point
along the battle front in Flanders
and northern France the Germans
have each day of late made a con-
certed movement with a view to
pushing their advance further west
or to the coast.
Berlin reports that in the western
war zone a decisive action is likely
to start any day. This assertion is
based on a statement from German
Headquarters, which says everything
is proceeding according to our pro
gram and it is assumed in Berlin
that the German operations thus far
have been successful.
The bombardment of the Belgian
coast by the allied warships between
Ostend and Newport began Tuesday
afternoon in conjunction with land
operations, according to a late dis
patch from Rotterdam,
In the east conditions remain as
previously reported, the occupation
of Lodz by the Germans being con
sidered. as well as a movement OF the
Russians against Cracow, German
troops have come to the aid of the
Austrians at the Cracow fortress
thus ~stiffening the defense Of the gar
rison against Russian attacks.
In West Galicia activity along the
battle line is increasing and the Aus
trian troops, an official statement
from Vienna asserts, have driven the
Russians from DobeZyce and Wei
zcka. taking more than 5000 pris-
oners.
Emperor William is suffering from
bronchial catarrh at Berlin and has
been unable to return to the front.
The japanese minister of marine
