German Soldiers Eat and Sleep
Under Ground.


Paris. Oct. 1o.-In contrast to the
rapidity with which the Germans have
conducted their campaign against Ant
werp. the tide Of battle is flowing slow
ly in certain parts Of France. The en-
gagement in the Woevre district. ac-
cording to statements Of wounded sol
diers who have been brought back from
this territory. continue to take the form
of siege.
The German trenches in the Woevre
have been constructed in two lines.
The outerm0st is furnished with quick
firing guns, with outposts constantly
on guard. In the meantime the larger
detachments shelter themselves in the
second line. These trenches are large
and comparatively comfortable. and
at intervals they broaden out into sub
terranean restrooms in which the
troops may sleep in comparative Sc
curity.
The first line may be reached from
the second through underground pas
saGes. The daily routine OF the Ger
man forces in these trenches is care
fully observed. The fire of their heavy
artillery is determined through the
study of maps and aerial reconnoiD-
sances and is directed mostly to the "a
vines and woods where the enemy ID
supposed to be.
The allies have just installed a sys-
tenn of drainage in their trenches
which. up to the present time, has
been very successful. Drainage is a
most necessary precaution, as many
of the troops are suffering from In
hammatory rheumatism.

Columbia university.

SOIuIHOld university.
Fire was discovered in an upper
story of the building in which is To-
Gated the administration offices of the
university shortly after one o'clock.
The first alarm was quickly followed
by a second and by 1880 four alarms
had been sounded.
The fire had a good start and the
heroic efforts of the firemen seemed
to make but little impression upon the
gym the open character of the
construction giving full play to the
flames Efforts of the firemen were
then directed to save the adjoining
buildings, among which is the Bar
nard college dormitory from which a
legion of girls fled in fright.
When the "co-eds'" fright at the
danger of their home had passed,
many of them suddenly realized that
their presence in such unconventional
attire was not only distracting to the
firemen but was attracting a good deal
more attention than was the fire itself
and the rush for cover within the DOR
! mitory was almost as precipitate as
was their effort to escape when danger
threatened.

Test Case.

Judge A. w. Dana, in the first di-
vision Of the Shawnee county district
court, in a decision rendered today up
held the states pure shoe law. An
injunction had been sought by the
Payne Shoe company, seeking to re-
strain John S. Dawson and all the coun-
ty attorneys of the state from enforcing
the law. A demurrer was entered by
John s. Dawson and the decision sus-
tanned the demurrer.
Judge Dana held that from the stand
point of morals or public safety the law
was without foundation, but also held
that it is proper police regulation for
the prevention of fraud.
The law required that shoes contain

To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
A Physicians Advice

Most thin people eat from four TO
six pounds of good solid fat-making
food every day and still do not In
crease in weight one ounce, while on
the other hand many of the plump,
chunky folks eat very lightly and keep
gaining all the time. It's all bosh to
say that this is the nature Of the in.
olHidual: 1t isn't Natures way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective.
They just absorb enough of the food
they eat to maintain life and sem
blance Of health and strength. Stuff
ing won't help them. A dozen meals
q day Won't make them gain single
stay there" pound. All the fat-pro-
dncing elements Of their food just
stay In the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need Is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements SO
that their blood can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body
something, too, that will multiple
their red blood corpuseles and in
crease their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition I always rec
ornmend eating a Sargol tablet with
every meal. Sargol is not, as some
believe, patented drug, but Is a
scientific combination of six of the
most effective and powerful flesh
building elements known to chemis-
try 1t Is absolutely harmless, yet
wonderfully effective and a single
taolet eaten with each meal often has
the effect of increasing the weight of
a thin man or woman from three to
i've pounds week. Sargol Is sold by
good druggists everywhere on a posi-
tive guarantee OF weight increase or
money back.

.KNE|SELS SCORE
CONCERT TRIUMPH
Quartet Wins Ovation in Sea-
sons Final Concert at
Wallace Hall.

The seasons final concert by the
Kneisel Quartet at Wallace Hall last
night was an unqualified success.
The members of this talented ag-
gregation, which, despite half-hearted
enthusiasm from local music lovers
in former years, has continued to
make Newark one of the principal
stops on its route, are Franz Kneisel,
first violin; Hans Lett, second violin;
Louis Svecenski viola, and William
Willeke, violoncello. The assisting
artists last night were Mrs. Thomas
Taper, pianist, and Ludwig Mandy.
double bass. The two, in all respects,
helped to make the concert very
! merited and pleasing one and thor
oughly In keeping with the high
standard of music that has been main
tanned for many seasons by the quar-
tet.
The evenings program was opened
with Schumann's quartet in f major,
op. Al, No. 2. which was written by
the great composer in 1912, the year
of his greatest achievement IN the
field of chamber music. The work,
which contained three quartets and
the quintet, in addition to several
smaller works, was dedicated by
Schumann to Mendelssohn, but was
extensively altered by Schumann
later.
The next number was Glazounow's
| interludum in modo antico, one OF
set of five novelettes for strings,
published as op. Is.
Adolph Brune's scherzo from
quartet in c minor, op SO (Mss) was
next played. The quartet from which
! the scherzo Is taken was written by
the well-known music critic of the
Chicago Inter Ocean in June, 1908, but
up to date has not been published.
The concluding selection was Schu-
bert's famous quintet in A major, for
pianoforte, violin, viola, violoncelR
and double bass, op. ia, known as
the Forellen or Trout quintet, and
| is one of the celebrated composers
best known compositions. Although
1t somewhat recalls Beethoven in its
mood, it is full of Schubert's own in
dividuality. 1t was written in 1919,
and was published ten years later.
The season Just concluded was one
of the best in the annals of the
| Kneisels.

NEW YORK, March ia man
called up the Bonnie Brae apartment
house, 524 West 169th street, at $3.50
yesterday afternoon, and asked to be
connected with the apartments of Fl.
Stewart Stoll. Mrs. Stoll answered
She and the man talked several min
utes.
Mrs. Stolls husband is employed in
the publishing house of G. S. Ham,
mond, 80 Church street. He has been
on a business trip for a month and is
believed to be in Seattle. His wife,
twenty-elght years old, has been llv
ing in the apartment alone during
his absence.
Half an hour after the man tele-
phoned to Mrs. Stoll the receiver In
the Stoll apartment was taken down.
Getting no response over the wire
Mrs. Petian, the telephone operator,
went otthe door of the apartment
There was no answer to repeated
ringing of the ball, and Mrs. Petian
went to the rear fire-escape and
climbed through q window.
Under the telephone lay Mrs. Stoll
In her hand was a revolver, and
there was a bullet wound in her left
side. At the hospital it was said
there was little chance for Mrs. Stoll
to live.
Detective Foley, of the st. Nicholas
avenue station, investigated the
shooting and convinced himself that
Mrs. Stoll had shot herself and that
probably the telephone call had some
bearing on her attempted suicide.
In the parlor of the apartment
Foley found an envelope, on which
was written:
Notify c. s. Hammond, 90 Fair

"Also notify Thomas Baimford, I'M
dertaker, 1898 Amsterdam avenue
Have my body cremated."
