GIGANTIC CONFLICT
IMMINENT IN EAST

Berlin, Oct. 19.-Preparations are
under way for gigantic battle in the
eastern arena of the war, where Aus
trian and German armies have taken
positions along the Rivers Vistula and
San and are ready for eyentualities
The retaking of Przemysl, as an
nounced from Austrian sources, has
permitted the unfolding of the power
of the Austrians from the direction of
Lemberg and their advance in the
Southern Carpathian mountains is
menacing the extreme left wing of
the Russians.
Desperate fighting already is going
on along the center of the two armies
on the banks of the Vistula.
The Russian army is east of the
Vistula. The fact is regarded in Ber-
lin as marking its advance and the
general management of the campaign
difficult natter and at the same time
unfavorable.
The Russian attack on the Aus
trians and Germans, unless they sue
ceed in recrossing the Vistula, which
would be difficult, will not be easy.

Latter Agrees to Meet American
Demands.


Vera Cruz, Oct. 19.-John R. Sill
man, President Wilson's personal rep.
resentative in Mexico, before leaving
here for Mexico City reported to the
General Aguilar had promised to grant
all the demands of the United States
in connection with evacuation of Vera
Cruz.
Mr.. Silliman visited General Agui-
lars camp beyond the American lines
and conferred with the general re-
gardirg the promised evacuation by
the United States and President Will
sons desires. Recently General Agui-
lar issued a proclamation making GER
tain guarantees, but at Mr.. Silliman's s
suggestion he promised to issue an
other in which he will be more spe.
cific. The proclamation will give as.
surance that no one who has been
employed by the Americans shall be
prosecuted for that, although it is an
oftense for which the law provides
severe punishment.
It. was suggested that the acts of
General Aguilar after all were subject
to the decision of his superiors in the
Mexican capital, but Mr.. Silliman, in
reply. said that the responsibility was
wholly Aguilars. The presidents rep
resentative said that he believed that
the generals promise to accede to the
demands made would satisfy Mr.. Will
son.

Situation Good From
Their Viewpoint.
ARMIES IN BELGIUM
AND FRANCE IN TOUCH
Operations Further South Re-
tarded by Bad Weather.

Berlin, via The Hague, Oct. 19.-
That the German forces operating in
Belgium have effected junction with
the right wing of the army in France
was announced at the war office.
1t was stated that the general sit
uation is showing slow, but neverthe-
less distinct, Improvement from the
German viewpoint.
In France the German right wing
has been engaged in a series of con-
t1icts with the allies along the line
from Noyon and Roye into Belgium.
These encounters, the war office says,
while taking on the character of ac-
tual battles, have been in the nature
of separate movements in which both
sides have gained slightly at certain
points and lost at others.
But at no point, it is stated, has
there been any decisive results. Two
or three Of the positions, it is de-
clared, have been taken and retaken
three or four times. The weather is
said to be bad, and this has had the
effect Of slowing down the rapid
movement Of troops.
Ostend, it is stated, was occupied
by the Germans without a struggle.
The German advance cavalry patrols
found when they reached the out
skirts of the town that the allies had
retreated, abandoning the intrench-
ments which they had constructed
north and east Of the city. The bur
gOmeister of Ostend in person sur
rendered the city to the German
forces.
Retarded by Bad Weather.
On the center and left it is stated
the situation is unchanged. The op-
erations in Alsace-Lorraine and in the
Vosges are being greatly retarded by
bad weather and snow at certain
points.
In the eastern theater of war the
Germans continue to gain ground
against the Russians, and there is now
not a single Russian on German soil
Reports received from Vienna say
that Austrian troops have occupied
the fortified heights of Starosav, to
the east of Chyrow. and they have
also moved south along the San river
SO they can successfully resist the
Russians from Przemysl
The Russians have attempted to
check the progress Of the Austrian
forces marching to relieve the for
tress. but in every instance they have
been defeated. Temporary bridges
thrown across the San river by the
Russians have been destroyed by the
Austrian artillery and many Russians
drowned.
In the fighting in the Carpathians
the Austrians have retaken Harrow
after fOur-day battle.
All the Russians have been driven
off the Hungarian plains and the Aus
trians have retaken the passes through
the Carpathians. according to the lat
est Vienna advices, the war office
saws.

LETTER OF SUICIDETOO LATE
Germantown Man Swallows Poison
After Writing Note to Friend

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-Harry K
Preston, engineer, promoter of gold
mines and formerly owner of extensive
coal operations, committed suicide last
night in his home, 532 West School
lane, Germantown, after sending a spe-
clal delivery letter of notification to
". X. Beard, 5043 Pulaski avenue
containing the information that he had
just swallowed poison. When Mr.
Beard, who is manager of the " Electric
al Railway Journal and the "Elec-
trical world,' technical magazines, ar.
rived at the Preston home with a ply
sician he found his friend dead in the
dining room. Financial reverses, it is
said, unbalanced Mr.. Preston's mind.
Mr.. Preston had been living alone
for the last two weeks, as his wife was
visiting her sister, Mrs. Francis /. du
Pont, of Wilmington, Del. Mrs. Pres
ION was summoned home shortly after
the suicide and was accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. du Pont.
While physician was examining the
dead man, his only daughter, Mrs. Wal
ter R. Mitchell. Of Chicago, who had
been expected to spend the holidays
with her parents, walked unexpectedly
into the house. She was prostrated
with shock. Mr. Preston, it was said,
had lost heavily in several western
ventures recently.

Opportunities for helping the Rotary
Club to raise funds for the Belgians
grow less as the week passes by. There
are reasons why local theatregoers
should turn out in fine numbers to give
these remaining performances whirl-
wind finish. The Orpheum S bill is a

and even # we Iidn t care to help the
stricken BeIgians, the show in itself is
worth several times the prices in vogue
at the Locust street playhouse. The

Monday That is, fguratively speak
ing, OF course, but nevertheless the
choice line of material on its way
should delight the hearts of 9rownups
as much as the gIittering ornaments of
a real Christmas tree. At the top of
the Orpheum S Christmas tree, standing
head and shoulders above all the other
goodies, are Bart McHugh s
"Dream Pirates.''
This is one of those classy. infectious
and tuneful juvenile productions. The
act carries special scenery representing
the deck OF an ocean liner and the pret-
tv "9irlies appear in several changes
of fetching costumes to inject the tune

bered that Mr.. McHugh was the pro.

month or so ago were thin, pale and

strength and health, and to make good
natural flesh that he gives his personal

Samose is pure preparation, and
can be, used with absolute confidence by
the most delicate. 1t gives remark able
results with children who are weak and
run down and without appetite. Adv.
