EXPECTS THOUSANDS OF
WIDOWS AND CRIPPLES

New York, September 26.-The
most natural thing in the
world Is to expect as n result Of tho
European war, New York stands in
danger Of being crowded with Wild
ows, crippled soldiers ard other
more or less helpless persons during
tho eoming winter. Commissioner
of immigration, DR.. F.. G.. Howe,
says that this not only will increase
immi grafton greatly, but will create
a new burden as to their care. II
the incomers have the sufficient
amount to land and meet other re-
quirements, it will be difficult to
keep them out of the country. Many
of them have relatives in the Unit
ed States. the majority of whom
live in New. York. The. authori-
ties will find it difficult deciding
what to do, since the charitable or
ganizatiOns are already declaring
that the demands for assistance are
the greatest in the city's history.

former years.

HEAVY FIGHTING ON
RIVER MEUSE
(By Associated Press)


Paris, Sept. 26.-An official an
nouncement this afternoon says that
heavy fighting is progressing at both
the east and west wings of the bat
tie line between the Germans and
the allies in France, in the Woevere
region. The Germans crossed the
River Meuse in the vicinity of St.
Mihiel, but the offensive taken by
the French has already thrown the
Germans back upon the river to the
south of the Woevere region. The
Fourteenth German army corps re-
tired after suffering heavy losses.
No change in the situation on the
center and in the Lorraine and
Vosges district.
The Russians captured Rzeszew,
also two fortified positions to the
north and south of Przemysl.

Locals Defeat St.
Pete in Well
Balanced Contest
By c. Green. .

The Champs added another VIC
tory to their credit yesterday after
noon when they attached the scalps
OF the Sunshine City lads to their
pelts, after a nine-inning battle.
The teams were evenly matched in
every department, Watkins perhaps
being trifle wilder than Alvarez.
Each hurler famed three and al
lowed five hits, but Watkins walked
tive to Alvarez's three. Each side
made two boobies. Nothing sensa-
tional happened and Short Stop Erie
was the bright spot, getting four
assists and three put outs, two Of
them being red hot line flies. St.
Pete got two in the opening stanza,
when Stewart walked, Hicks walked,
Hodge singled, Belts flied to left 70,
an out. A. Burleson hit a long fly
to center for an out, Stewart scor-
ing, Eubanks let one of Alvarez's s
fast ones get through him and Hicks
scored, Cy Burleson out at first. An
other tally came in the fifth on
Hicks single and Hodges two bag
ger. Lakeland got one in the first
when Van got to first on an error,
Erie sacrificed, Branch singled and
Van scored. Three more were added
in the third when Erie walked,
Branch walked, Spivey forced Erie
out at the plate, Meharg singled,
scoring Eubanks and Chambers. The
same teams will play here today.

SIDELIGHTS ON
THE GREAT WAR

Dunkirk, France, Dec. 25.-Fhat
troops mounted on bicycles may be
used at times for purposes OF the
charge, with fully as good results as
cavalry, is said to be proven by the
fighting at Apremont.
The Germans attacked the French
defending ApremOnt, and compelled
them to abandon one trench after an
other, and finally the town itself. A
desperate struggle was kept up, how
ever, at the main bridge out of the
town. The German regiments surged
to the attack with fierce shouts, and
it looked as if the French were to be
completely routed when unexpected
reinforcements came up in the form of
a company of cyclist chasseurs.
The cyclists had unslung their
rifles and fixed their bayonets. Riding
at top speed, with their bayonets in
front of them like lances, they swept
through cloud of dust straight into
the crowded masses of the enemy at
the bridge head There was an in
describable melee of men and ma
chimes, but the cyclists, some mounted
and some dismounted, used their bay
onets with such good effect that in five
minutes the Germans were in retreat
BY this time the French infantry had
reformed and swept up at double
quick to reinforce the cyclists and

On the Firing Line

touching knees and roof above, in black

and feeling caught in on every side, Is
dreadful to me. We do guards, each
section till about 4: 30 in the morning,
with slight sniping to remind one OF
the Germans then we form up and on
again, and stagger 1t seems, for niles
across fields and broken country. Here
we are at last at the first line OF

I,appear, a few whispered orders, and
we find ourselves in the trenches
There are five of US in our trench.
The dawn comes up slowly and we can
see what is in rront of US. We are evil

quite on top. There has to be one OBJ

all through the day and at night an
hour. The cold is still intense, but we
open tin Of jam and start having
breakfast Suddenly my slice Of bread
and jam is covered with clay, knocked
off the top Of the parapet. The snipers
are at work, and wonderful shots they
are too. Over hundred bullets were
put just in the top of our trench, and
whenever an observers head went up
to look through a small Enclosure, they
were at it again. Suddenly their bat
teries opened fire on US, and getting
the range with marvellous celebrity they
proceed in the next hour to put close
on one hundred shells on about half a
dozen trenches, including ours. We are
all c-Cuched down. The noise is appal-
ling, ones eardrumS feel splitting as
each shell bursts. Clouds of black. evil
smelling smoke. showers OF earth and
stones, mangel, wurZcls, and pieces of
shell come flying into the trenches One
man finds q large piece Of shell in his
overcoat pocket. No one was hurt of
our lot. On cur left the regiment had
four killed and several wounded This
is being under fire properly, and we
are glad they have stopped and given

movement of supply wagons going on
just over the hill crest in the enemy's
lines. Small red sparks show fitfully in
the trenches, rockets are going up, and
the sky ever and anon is split with
