troops out of her territory, and
cooperating with Montenegro,
has begun an invasion of south
ern Austria. Austria appears to
be in really desperate straits,
with Russia pounding at the
north, the Balkan enemies invad-
ing the south, and the flower of
the Austrian army supporting the
German army of French invasion.
Persistent reports of serious
German repulse at the hands of
the allies defending Paris lend
strength to the statement of the
French and British war offices
that the Germans are not attack
ing with their early vigor and
that the allies have been able to
push them back. 1t is stated un-
officially by Americans arriving
in London from the continent
that the British forces. are being
constantly strengthened by fresh
troops from England and that
S0,OOO Russians have joined the
allies.
The Germans, too, have
strengthened their forces, and a
great battle throughout the
length of the 120-mile line of con-
flict has begun. If the Germans
succeed now in breaking the op-
position of the smaller allied
army, it appears certain they will
throw their supreme force
against the defenses of Paris and
make one tremendous effort to
take the city.
The vast circling movement,
which the main German army de-
scribed for a week, was admitted
to have been for naught on Sep
tember s, and the reactive move
ment by the allies drove back the
invaders temporarily. The allies

The Chicago Herald, through its
Washington correspondent, John Cal

nalist, states that Germany, declaring
it has beaten France to it's knees, de-
sires to enter negotiations for the

defeats at the hands of Russia in Ga

FOUND DEAD IN
 GLOBE CITY JAIL
GiIa County Officials Are Puzzled To Determine Whether 1t Is a Case of Suicide or Too Much Liquor Which Caused Death

GLOBE. Ariz., Sept. 1O-The police officials of Globe are today wrestling with problems unusual in the case of a Chinaman The questions which are puzzling the authorities are whether this particular Chinaman died as the result of taking too much whis' key, or whether he committed suicide by taking some drugs, possibly of an Oriental character
 Last night this Chinaman, who IS known by half a dozen different Ori- ental names. went to a Broad street lodging house and asked for a room. He was noticed to have considerable whiskey with him. and after he en- tered the room assigned to him he commenced a grooming which dis turbed the entire house. When the room of the Oriental was opened 1t was found that he had succeeded in getting away with four pint bottles of whiskey He was removed to the county jail and Dr. Kennedy was called. The doctor, after an examina- tion, said that he did not believe that it was the effects of the overdose of liquor. but rather that he was suffer ing from the effects of some drug taken with suicidal intent During the night the Chinaman passed away.
 The Chinaman was about 50 years of age and generally lived at the Globe Chinese joss house and worked in a laundry The local officials state that it Is rare for a Chinaman to commit suicide an dthat they nev- CT before heard of one dying from the effects of taking too much whis- key.
