Board of Appraisal Puts the Problem Up to City
 Attorney

The board of appraisal of benefits and damages has asked City Attorney William H.

The as sociation protests against paying this amount.
 A number of residents of Bishop avenue appeared before the board last night to protest against assessment for the East End trunk sewer. This sew CT recently completed at cost of $22,884.25 extends through Bishop and Barnum and Connecticut avenues. Read Rade1 and Florence streets.

 officers of the American T,1be s, Stamping Go. and Attorney Arthur M Marsh protested against the com pany,s assessment for the Stratford avenue sewer on the ground that Ia little used street and a, public park are between their building and the sewer The company also protested against assessment for permanent pavement on the street which divides in front of the factory property.

ALLIES REPORT SLIGHT LAWMAKERS ON BOTH WINGS; GERMAN vARSHIPS
 ENGAGE JAPANESE FORCES ON LAND
FIERCE FIGHTING IN ATTEMPTS TO TURN GERMANS RIGHT WING
 YET WITHOUT DECISIVE VICTORY

London, Octo. 1-The screen of se- crecy erected by the censorship almost entirely across northern France and behind which military craftsmen for the past three weeks have been, ngur- ative1y speaking, fashioning the rough outline of the map of the eastern hem isphere, stands today almost unimpair- ed.
 From what can be deduced from the fragmentary g1impses there appears to be Justification, in the, opinion of British observers, for the confident, even seemingly inspired optimism, on the part of the allies. This describes events as shaping themselves for a repetition of history as it was writ ten on the river Marne when the a1-= lied forces sent the Germans back on their tracks.
 All the brilliant tactics employed by General Won Kluck, the commander of the German right wing, to counter or break through the band of bay onets constantly reaching northward beyond his extreme right have thus, far failed. These efforts, however have by no means ceased and the Ger man general staff, it is felt in Lon don, probably will risk something e1se- where in order to reinforce this flank before the end of the chapter is writ ten Heretofore reinforcenents have been met with endorsements in the

critical quarter of the battlefield.
 The Germans nearly got through the allies near Albert, to the north east of Anfens, but after two days of fierce struggle for the mastery, they failed.EI These incessant assaults on the part of the Germans have, ac- cording to allied commanders whose reports are augmented by statements from independent sources; cost the as sailants such appalling losses in men that even allowing for re1nforcem ents their ranks must have been materially weakened.
 The announcement from France of the recreation of the post of marshal of France coming simultaneously with the report of General Joffre, com mander-in-cFief of the French forces of the satisfactory condition along the entire battle line, has been hailed by the allies as peculiarly significant.
 In the eastern field, the German navy is showing increased activity along the Baltic coast. It is in readf- ness to support German land forces if they succeed in forcing the passage of the river Niemen.
 In the meanwhile, there has come to London news that within a week a. new Russian army, a. million strong, will join. the present armies in Poland Galicia for s'Russia's principal attack on Germany

JAIL TERM FOR AUTOIST WHO RAN
 DOWN WOMAN


 New Haven, Oct. Samuel P. Rog- ers whose automobile struck and in dicted fatal injuries on Mrs. Phi1o- mena Ricio in Hamden in April, plead ed guilty to manslaughter in the su- perior court today and was sentenced to three months in jail Counsel for Rogers asked that sentence be sus- pended but the court declined the re- quest. In pronouncing sentence Judge Gager said:
 These automobile mansIaughter cases are by no means infrequent and present all sorts and grades of negli- gence, The negligence in this case was in the conduct of the driver under, the circumstances and conditions in driving at such a rate of speed that he did not have control of his ma chine and that he did not take notice that someone might be in the high way. The money penalty has not the effect. we all feel. in emphasizing the care in driving automobiles. I think the penalty in this case should not be less than three months in jail and make that the sentence

 A communication from Mexico, slow in transmission owing to a rigid cen sorship. shed no light upon whether this convention, also called for today, would begin sessions or whether it would be delayed to await the out come of the Zacatecas conference.
