NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The German
army which was reported last week
to have started from East Prussia
to develop a new attack on Warsaw
has failed 20 carry out its instruc-
tions. 1t appears to have encoun-
tered a superior Russian force oper-
ating from Augustowo and to have
been held in Poland too close to the
East Prussian frontier to exert any
influence on the Warsaw campaign.
In consequence of this check there
has been no remission Of the Rus
sian pressure along the Vistula, and
Berlin admits "a change Of forma-
ton" is being made. This means a
new strategy Is in process of de-
velopment. The original German Of
fensive In Po!and was planned for
the purpose of making a direct as
sault upon Warsaw. The Russians
overconcentrated the Germans, how
ever, in front of Warsaw and forced
them to fall back. The retreat of
Won Hindenberg's army, while far
from being the rout described in
Petrograd dispatches, has not been

ped SO far back from the Polish
capital 1t Is as much out Of range OF
immediate operations as Is Paris in

ROSS ANDRE EWS HOST
IN BOOMING CITY

AS the guests of Ross p Andrews,
president of the Retail Merchants As
socfation, representatives of the trade
bodies and newspapers of Washington
attended a luncheon this afternoon at
the Commercial Club, at which plans
for inducing American tourists to spend
tho winter in Washington were dis
cussed
Mr.. Andrews proposed that list OF
Americans who have been accustomed
in the past to go each winter to Europe
particularly those who have made the
Mediterranean trip, be secured and per-
sonal letters be sent to each advising
of the attractions which the National
Capital has to offer visitors. and tho
home and hotel facilities afforded here.
The names, Mr.. Andrews said. might
be secured from the sailing lists OF
steamship companies. Many Of these
tourists. he added. once the attractions
Of Washington are brought directly to
their attention. would quickly act on
the suggestion of making the trip to
this city. especially as conditions abroad
are so disturbed at present.
Those who attended the luncheon
were Fleming Newbold, OF the Evening
Star: Clinton T. Brainard. of the Wash
ington Herald: William f. Guide. presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce. and
Fred A. Walker, Of The Washington
Times.

STILL FAST IN SAND
Two Naval Tugs and Repair
Ships Unable to Release
Stranded Destroyer.

NORFOLK. Va, Oct. 29.-With two
naval tugs and the repair ship Panther
working TO release her, and a corps of
naval experts and divers with blow
pipes trying to force her from her
perilous position. the torpedo boat de
stroyer Paulding is still aground off
Cape Henry. But little progress toward
floating the destroyer was made today.
An easterly wind kicked up a chop
sea and interfered with the work
The Paulding lies buried in six feet of
sand. She has not been moved a foot
since she was blown ashore during the
storm Tuesday night which wrought
havoc among the vessels at target prac-
tice, off the capes. Chances of floatir-,
her grow less promising
The Paulding's crew has been trans
ferred to the Panther, and it's members
are assisting the other naval men ip

The assembly hall Of the Business

KAISER NE ETEDDEATH
TO THREE GENERALS

LONDON. Oct. 9.-A news agency
dispatch from Petrograd. which is un-
confirmed from any source, says that
a German officer who was taken pris-
oner, declares that the three German
generals responsible for the disaster to
the German arms at Augustofr were
court-martialed and shot.
The officer, according to this story

German Offensive M0pes
Have Passed the Crest

PARIS. Oct. 9.-General Joffres dis
patches strengthen the belief that the
German attack in Flanders and France
has passed the crest Of power.
The official reports were more favor
able than at any time since the German
armies began their new advance fifteen
days ago after the occupation of Os-
TEND. Today the Kafser's troops were

2erman forces near the coast and
'prces operating from Ghent and Brus-

2aEsee, the point for many days of in
esssnt and violent effort by the Ger
mans TO cut the allied line in two.

trenched positions beyond the village
AT night, after the roar Of the cannon
had ceased, there was suddenly a shrill
whistle and bushes soaked in petroleum
broke into flames, throwing a glare over
the scene. Masses of men sprang up
from the beet crops within a few hun
dred yards of the British trenches and
with bYgle sound, yell and song they
came clashing forward to the allies po-
sition.
Though taken by surprise the Britons
brave men were not unprepared. They
took their places in the trenches and
held them, pouring a terrific fire into
the advancing hosts, finally repelling
them"

Acting Secretary Blue
Telegraphs for Facts

Acting Secretary of the Navy Blue.
this afternoon telegraphed to Nor
folk for details of the Paulding's
condition. No news concerning the
vessel was received at the depart
ment during the day.
A board of inquiry to survey the
destroyer has been appointed by the
Navy Department. The extent Of the
damage to the vessel and the causes
or her plight will be investigated by
the board. 1t is believed the only
hope for the Paulding lies with the
coming of an unusually high tide
which may float her.
The Washington times., 1914-10-29

Elsewhere along the west flank the
allied line remains unbreakable.
The official statement that the Ger
man onslaught is moderating. to-
gether with unofficial dispatches as
serting that the Germans cannot
maintain their attack, warrants the
conjecture that the Russian victories
in Poland, the advances of the French
in Lorraine and Alsace. and tremen-
dous losses in killed and wounded in
Belgium and northern France. are
compelling the Germans once more to
abandon an offensive campaign and
are forcing them to prepare to defend
their own territory. Ii Is reported
that the invaders have lost 5000
gium alone, while their losses in
France. especially near La Bassee.
Lille and Arras. have been enormous.

tention TO the efforts TO increase in

Strong protests against this increase

There is not the slightest doubt now
that the Germans are contemplating
active operations all winter. Their
troops have all been supplied with
heavy sheepskin overcoats. legg:ngs,
and gloves, and reports received
through Belgian sources declare that
enormous quantities of winter supplies
have been stored at the base in the
vicinity of Aix-la-Chapelle.
There is a dearth of news from AL
sace-Lorraine where the French were
reported to be acting on the offensive.
The reports available are conflicting,
one declaring that the French are NOV

SAGE. while another declares that the
French have entrenched around Bel
fort. and are waiting an attack from
large German forces moving against
that stronghold.

RASPBERR|ES NOW IN,
BUT PRICES ARE HIGH
Apricots Also Make Their Appear
ance on Fruit Stands Of
City's Markets.
Small Catalogues Selling at 10
Cents Each-Lower Meat
Prices Noted.

Raspberries and apricots have made
their appearance on the fruit stands IN
the markets of the city. and while high
in price they will soon be plentiful and
will be selling at the usual low summer
figures. Cherries, blackberries, peaches
and cantaloupes. the Center market deal
ers report. are being received in increased
quantities, and this week they are some
what lower in prices than last week, but
are still rather high. This morning a
strawberry box Of peaches could be had
for 10 cents, and they were selling at 65
cents pan, containing about q half peck.
Cantaloupes were selling at 10 cents for
the smaller sizes up to 20 cents each for
the more desirable fruit. The produce
and fruit stands were this morning well
supplied with summer vegetables and
fruits, but most Of the supplies are COM
ing from the south and west. 1t is, how
ever, but a question of two or three
weeks before the gardens in the sur
rounding counties of Maryland and Vir-
wilma will be sending supplies of home
grown fruits and vegetables to the local
market.
In the meat market lower prices are to
be noted on lamb, calves liver. pork
shoulder and the cheaper cuts of beef
steak. Liver, which has been selling at
a half dollar pound, is today quoted at
20 cents pound.
In the fish market shad and herring
have disappeared from the benches. the
District regulations not allowing them
to be sold after June 10, and smelt also
have disappeared, the season for them
being ended. Soft-shelled crabs are re-
fe6 &-1v
vance in price. Capons have practically
disappeared from the poultry benches,
but the market on poultry, eggs and
butter remains practically unchanged
from the prices quoted last week.
