ROLLING BACK
GERMAN LINES

Special bu United Press Wire.
Paris, Oct. 22-The allies are roll
ing back the German lines They
have pushed their wedge through
the invading forces thirteen miles
north of Lille and for the first time
since the series of battle In the north
commenced they have pushed their
troops toward Lille. The advantage
gained is slight two miles, but 1t
is declared at headquarters here It
is extremely important The allies
are in a position to envelop the Ger
man right flank and 1t is expected
that they will be able to do SO within
the next week or so. Officials at Gem
eral Gallieni's headquarters, who
are In touch with the situation, de-
clare that il the Germans have lost
the chief move in the strategieal
manoevering by failure to maintain
the perpendicular line extended from
Lille to the coast near Ostend
They declare that the center OF
the German right flank has been
pierced and that it is only ques-
tion of short time when the Ger
man headquarters at Lille must
move eastward or be lost.
In a distance of only forty five
miles, three separate and distinct
battles of extreme violence are In
progress. From Nieuport, ten miles
southeast of Dismude, the Belgian
army covered by the guns OF the
British war fleet, are rolling the Ger
mans back. Every attempt of the
Germans to break through this line
has been repulsed with severe loss
and 1t is declared that the Germans
have left 10000 dead and Wounded

tending nine and a half miles sonth-
! east there is second battle Hue.
The Germans were forced back near
ly three miles along the front last
night, following a night assault in
force which was defeated
The Germans advanced in their
usual massed formation, but they
were literally cut to pieces by fire
from French guns. The attempt to
break through the allied lines lasted
several hours, but when fighting end
ed temporarily the Germans had
of trenches were occupied by the
allies.
There Is serious fighting progress
ing from Warneton to LaBasse,
distance of eighteen miles. The
Germans are in great strength and
have delivered a series of violent
assaults, but at no point have they
been able to gain any territory.
Hundreds of prisoners are also being
taken. The Germans are declared to
be wasting their forces, throwing
regiment after regiment against
French guns, in an effort to break
through. Military experts are much
encouraged over the immediate OUT
look. They declare that the Ger
mans are preparing to evacuate their
positions near the channel and there
will be no surprise if within a short
time the entire German right wing
retires inside the Belgian frontier.

TODAY ECHO OF
AUTO TRAGEDY
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Oct. 22:-As an
echo of the famous motor bus trag-
edy December IA, 1912, when a
transportation vehicle was smashed
by a Central Railroad locomotive at
Sewaren grade crossing, suits were
started today aggregating $15, 900,
in the circuit court before Judge
Lloyd. The accident was the cause
of the death Of boy and woman
and the injury of dozen or more

were thrown out when the locomotive
hit the machine.
Issachar Robbins, who owned the
car, is suing for $1,000, and the
Perth Amboy Transportation Com
pany, who operated the bus line, Is
suing for $4,000 damages. Mr.. Rob-
bins claims that his car, valued at
s3,650, was wrecked, and the COM
pany claims damages In the amount
of $4,000 done to its business and
$4,000 for injuries sustained by the
chauffeur of the car, Elmer G. Clio
yer. The accident from which the
suits follow will well be remembered.
Some sixteen passengers were on
their way in the motor bus from
Roosevelt to Perth Amboy. At the
then unprotected grade crossing at
West End avenue, Sewaren, the
chauffeur failed to see an oncoming
express, the engine of which struck
the carrier and smashed it to pieces,
hurting the splinters to either side of
the railroad A boy was thrown fif-
teen feet in the air and was instantly
killed when his head struck a rail in
falling. A woman died on the way
to the city hospital and a dozen 9TH
ers we're injured Other suits re-
sulting against the railroad were set

lows: Jesse Gilliland, Peter Tenney-
son. Calvin Petty, George S. Con-
over. Walter Mundy, Max Muchick,
Edwin Roddy, John Bosch, Henry Da-
Wis, Michael Anderson, Lester Ed
ridge and George McName.
James Wight opened the case this
morning and declared that the bell
at the crossing In question did not
work at the time of the accident and
that because Of this reason and the
engineer did not sound a whistle,
the defendant company was liable.
He stated that the driver of the ma
chine had severely injured his foot
Mr.. Miller, speaking for the defense,
stated that the driver of the bus was
to blame. He declared that with
fourteen passengers in the vehicle
used as a common carrier, he dis
played negligence and drove into
the Jaws Of death without giving the
passengers a chance for their lives "
He maintained that the driver had a
clear view for q distance OF 3,000
feet.

soeciaI to the EVENING NEWS.
Roosevelt, Oct. 22.-Thrown forty
feet by a touring car and then
crushed beneath the machine, both
arms and both legs of Jack Murray
were fractured, and every major
bone of his body broken, In Railway
avenue on the northern outskirts OF
the Carteret section of Roosevelt,
about ii o'clock last night. Murray
we'll known in Perth Amboy. Roose-
velt and other sections of the coun-
ty as a wandering banjo picker, died
from his injuries as he was being
taken to St. Elizabeth's hospital.
Murray, who made his home in New
ark, gained his living as an itinerant
musician, playing at public gather
ings and in front of saloons. He was
forty years old, and unmarried. His
body is now at an Elizabeth morgue,
and Chief of Police Harrington, of
Roosevelt, is trying to locate his sur
vivors. The automobile, after strik-
ing the man, left him unconscious
alongside the roadway, and the occu-
pants Of the machine made their
getaway.
Chief of Police Harrington, with
some of his officers, searched until 4
clock this morning for the death
dealing auto, without success. They
came to Perth Amboy, Metuchen,
Woodbridge and Railway, visiting all
the garages in vain endeavor to
locate the driver of the touring car.
Many nights Banjo Jack" as he
was often called, came to Perth Am
boy and played his stringed instru-
ment having seeming natural tai
ent in manipulating the cords. Last
night he played in Roosevelt, wan
dering from one saloon to another;
lingering wherever the silver har-
vest of dimes and nickles ,yas the
richest. Shortly before IL o'clock
he started for his home and made his
way toward the fast line station just
outside Of Roosevelt, intending to
take the car due at 11:10 O'Clock. In
Railway avenue, about 500 yards
from the trolley station, he was
struck and, from the scene, as
viewed by Chief Harrington this
Aorning, was thrown forty feet and
then crushed beneath the rapidly
moving car, which sped on after
striking the victim.
William Nash, of Roosevelt, COM
ing from Railway in his machine
with some friends found the limp,
semi-conscious man lying alongside
the roadway about 11:45 o'clock.
They picked him up and brought him
to the police station and Chief Har-
rington summoned Dr. M. Jacoby.
who declared all four limbs of the
victim were fr, "tured and every bone
OF any size shattered, and had him
dispatched to the st. Elizabeth hos
pital after an ambulance had been
called. Just before reaching the in
stitution the man expired. Ch1ef
Harrington began search through
the county and Railway for the car
that had struck the victim. He ar
rived in Perth Amboy at midnight
and reported the accident to Rounds
man Morris, and the police aided him
in his search. From the description
given by the dying man, who revived
before he expired, the automobile had
no side doors, was five-passenger
car with yellow body, black wheels
and Oil lamps.

GERMAN ARMY IS
IN FULL RETREAT,
.PETR0CRAD SAYS
Special bp United Press Wire.

Special bD United Press Wire.
Petrograd, Oct. a2:-AIt is official
Ily announced today that Germans
are in fun retreat all along the bait
/ tie line lying thirty miles west OF
army corps, which has pushed for
ward from Warsaw The German
Twenty-first army corps is reported
here to have lost nearly two-thirds
OF Its effective strength In its efforts
to cover retreat of the main German
army.
Emperor William is reported to
have been personally in charge of
operations against Warsaw, coming
to the front when reports reached
him that his troops had reached
within seven miles of the outer War
saw defenses. The Russians are de-
cIared to have completely outgener
aled the Germans. They retired
along the German front by arrange
ment. At the same time a strong
Russian force was sent northwest of
Warsaw and apparently the Germans
had no knowledge of their presence.
When the selected battlefield was
reached the Russians made a deter
mined stand and attacked the enemy
both in the front and flank. The
Germans fought desperately but
were trapped and lost an enormous
number OF their men in eXtricating
themselves from their inpenetratable
position.
The fighting was of the most
desperate character. Village after
village was taken and retaken, but
eventually the weight of numbers
told and the Germans were driven
back, the Russians capturing large
number of cannon and battle stand
ards. The situation in Galicia is de-
clared to be we'll In hand. The
Austrians have been heavily rein
forced by German first line troops
but have been unable to cross the
San and attempts to relieve Przemysl
from the south have failed.
During the last five days 10000
prisoners have been taken by Rus
slams in Galicia, among them said to
be several German officers of high
rank.

Aeroplanes hover over the shore
