GERMANS DENY
REPORTED LOSS
Of SUBMARINES
Declare British Announcements
of Naval Successes False
Italians Are Rumored to be
InCenSed at France.

BERLIN, Nov. 24.-CBy Wireless)
While the eventual victory Of the
Austro- German allies in the eastern
theater of war is as confdentially ex-
pressed as ever. official reports from
the German and Austrian headquart-
ers make it appear this afternoon that
the decision will not come as soon as
had been expected.
Outside of the German and Aus
trian reports no important news has
been received. A light snow fell here
early today and the temperature
dropped below zero centrigrad.
British reports of the sinking of
German submarines were officially
false here today. 1t was stated that
no submarines were missing.
The official German news bureau
announced that Switzerland had pro-
tested at London and Bordeaux
against the violation of its neutrality
by British aviators flying 10 Fried
richshaffen and had demanded salts

The bureau also gave out this in
formation TO the correspondents
Italian papers see in the molesta-
tiOn of Italian shipping by the French
a systematic plan 20 divert Genoa S
maritime trade 70 Marseilles. Rome
reports great feeling in northern Italy
against England because several
metal foundries have been Obliged TO
stop work owing 10 the seizure Of
copper and lead as contraband. Rome
also reports a decrease Of 60 per cent
in English imports for October as
compared with the same month last
year.
The PoIitiken Of Copenhagen
states that all the English reports of
Germany's desire for peace are ab-
surd, being designed TO keep England
in a good humor. II declares that
Germany is not obliged 10 wish for
peace as its armies are on foreign soil
and its navy is unhurt"

Reports From PetrOgrad and
Berlin Conflict But Great Re-
Inducements Have no Doubt
Turned Tide for Gar.

LONDON. Nov. 24.-When the con-
ficting reports from Berlin and Pc
tTSsrad are carefully sifted only one
result is obtained.
That the conflict in Poland has not
yet reached "A decision. Berlin admits
check in the main conflict due to
Russian reinfOrcements. but also as
serts that the Germans have made
progress at some points. PetrOgrad
reports say that the Russians have
compelled the Germans 10 retreat
southwest of LOwicZ. but they make
no claim of overwhelming victory.
There is no doubt that Russia has sent
against the Germans the largest num-
ber of troops that il could transport
TO the front Germany is likewise
reinforcing its army. This may ac-
count for the lull in the conflict in the
western theater of war. The German
cavalry that OVerran Belgium and
northern France has probably been
sent TO Poland. There it will have
a worthy opponent in the cOssacks. A
PetrOgrad dispatch states Gen. Rem
nenkampf of the Russian army is
now in command of the Russian cav

even Rennenkampf might well be
proud.
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Times says that the German army has
been broken up into several parts.
His telegram follows:
According to unofficial infOrma-

of 100000. which began an advance
between the Nistula and Warthe rivers

one of which was compelled TO divert

northward. Apparently in each case,
the Russians succeeded in getting be-

quarters in Poland last night. A
stubborn battle is being fought, but
the scene of the conflict is drifting

TOYNE SHOWS FIGURES
TO ANSWER FIRE CHIEF
October Tests Show HydrantS
in Good Condition, Says
Water Superintendent.

Following Fire Chief Sibrers state
ment that the hydrants used in the
fight against the Twentieth Century
garage and Davies Laundry Co. fire
were defective and that net sufficient
pressure had been attained through
the night. Supt. Toyne of the water
department Tuesday made public the
result of tests made by his department
of the same hydrants that were used
on that occasion.
The tests were made in October, and
according TO Supt. Toyne, in every
case the pressure tested all that could
be required from present facilities.
The first hydrant to receive atten-
tion was the one at the court house
point is of the double discharge
Matthews type and on Oct. Is showed
a hydraulic pressure of 40 pounds.
The pressure was obtained through a
continuous pressure maintained at the
pumping station of so pounds. The
static pressure. or pressure when the
hydrant is not in use, showed 30
pounds.
The hydrant at Lafayette blvd. and
Washington av. showed a station pres
sure of so pounds; static, 70 pounds,
and hydraulic 80 pounds. The one
at Lafayette and Wayne res It'd in a
mark of 81 pounds station pressure,
20 pounds static and 80 pounds hy-
draulic. These figures according TO
Supt Toyne are as high as could be
expected with the present means pro-
vided by the city TO fight fire.
Chief Sibrel and Supt Toyne will
go over the hydrants for further tests
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.
According TO Supt. Toyne the hydrants
in question, those claimed by Chief ST.
brel TO be in poor condition, are up 20
the standard at present afforded by
the city.

There is Only ONE Best

Every man who has ever been
talked to by a life insurance agent
will, no doubt recall, that one of the
claims that the agent made was that
the special company he was represent
ing at the time, was the BEST in the
business and issued the most liberal
contract etc. 1t is a FACT that there
are a number of good companies in
business today and that most of them
issue very liberal contracts as COM
pared with those issued previous to
1906--before the great upheaval in
New York State. when laws were en-
acted that forced all companies that
should do business in that State, to
Guarantee in their policies what the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany of Newark, y. j.. had been Guar
antceinS Voluntarily for Many Years
Previous. 1t is fact that the New
York law was based on the voluntary
practices of the Mutual Benefit and it
did not have to change a word in its
contracts to comply with the law. 1t
has always, during the g. years it has
been business. been recognized as the
leading policy holders company. and
is so recognized today. 1t is the Best
Company and issues the Best Policy,
and If | cannot prove it to your salts
faction after you have learned about
all the others, if you care to learn, |
do not want your business, as | recog-
niZe the fact that the man who insures
in one company when he has reason
to believe that he would have been
better satisfied in another has not
done himself justice. Look Before
You Leap.
