Antwerp to the main army.
Much more is published in British
newspapers of German reinforce
ments than of accessions to the ranks
Of the allied army.
Appearance Excites commotion.
London. Oct. 19.-The entrance OF
the Germans into Ostend is described
by the Daily Nails correspondent
who left that port at the moment of
the German occupation.
Their appearance excited a trem-
endous commotion among the hun
dreds of refugees who had been un-
stricken on the quays," says the cor
respondent. There was an outburst
of groans and boots mingled with
can and cries."
Germans Retrieve Austrian Losses.
London, Oct. 19.-Fulfllment of the
promise that pressure would be taken
off France and Belgium when the big
battle commenced in the East again
has been delayed. The Germans are
before Warsaw-in fact fighting has
taken place only. eight miles from
that city.
While their advance to the Niemen
was a failure, the forces of Emperor
William apparently have retrieved
some defeats of the Austrians in Ca
licia and advanced as far as Jarozlau,
II miles northwest of Przemysl. The
German plan seems to be to have two
armies advance along the left bank
of the Vistula river while two other
armies swing around on the right bank
to take the defenders of Warsaw on
their flank.
This, according to Russian accounts,
suits the Russian general staff, who
are said purposely to have withdrawn
to the Vistula 81 that they would
have the railways at their back while
the Austro-German forces would have
to advance great distances on roads
which at this time of the year are lit
tie more than ~quagmires.

Broadway diners-out were shocked
to hear OF the death OF the only and
original Charles E. Rector az his
country home at Red Bank. Rector
recently lost a large slice Of his per-
sonal fortune, and it is said that that
he has not been in good health since.
He started life as a street car con-
ductor and later got a job in the din
ing service on a railroad. After a year
or so of this he started a small res
taurant in Chicago. which grew by
leaps and bounds until he finally erect
ed a large building bearing his name
to house IL. He tired Of Chicago. how
ever, and in 1899 sold his interests and
came to New York. His restaurant at
Broadway and Forty-fourth street was
long the most popular place on the
Great White Way. In February. 1909,
he decided to close the place and erect
a irst-class hotel, which he did, and
il was opened as Rector's with brill
liant prospects He lost a large part
of his fortune in this venture, as the
hotel did not pay. The hotel went into
bankruptcy and was taken over by a
new management and renamed the
Hotel Claridge. Under the new ar
rangement the hotel has had phe-
nomenal success and this, too. is said
to have preyed upon Mr.. Rector. He
could not understand IT. Rector and
his son George. also a restauranteur,
were estranged for some time, but the
breach was healed before the fathers
death.

The "Plucking Boards" Bad Work.

We arc glad to see general an expression OF

high class officers into retirement for no cause

recognized on all sides.

Captain Gibbons was singled out by the Navy

not have been the recipient of that distinction had

INSINCERE TOWARD MEDIATION
Correspondent Accuses Wilson Ad'
ministration of Bad Faith.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One can hardly blame the A b I
mediators for prsislns their own cl-
forts to preserve the peace between
Mexico and tho United States. They
really have worked nobly in good
cause. and their respective countries
have reason to feel proud Of their IN
fuencc.
But the fact cannot be disguised that
mediation has been a failure. 1t was
doomed TO failure from the beginning.
Why? Because tho Wilson admins
tration was not acting in good faith
when it accepted the Offices of the
mediators. II is perfectly obvious now
that when Wilson ordered Admiral
Fletcher TO take Vera Cruz" he was
actuatcd not by "A desire to uphold the
dignity OF the United States so much
as to use another weapon in his cam
raign TO GUST Hucrta and put one of
his Constituencies friends in pow
or in Mexico. He wants to do this
and he wants to do it without lighting.
All is fair in war. But Wilson will
not admit it is war, but will without
any conjunction hit below the belt.

tive purpose and cowardly indrection
