SECOND ARMY SUFFERS ROUT

Russians Mass 100000 Strong Along
the East Prussian Border With the
Intention Of Resumng the German
lnVasion--lnterna Troubles Threat
ening the Dual Monarehy-Prosress
Of Russian Campaign.
Rome, Sept 1O.-Attempting to
evade the Russian double advance,
the Austrians have evacuated Russian
Poland, following the rout of another
army at Rawa, thirty-two miles north
west Of Lemberg, Galicia, according
to advices from st. Petersburg.
Complete victory is claimed by the
Russian war Office in the fighting that
has been raging north of Lemberg and
1t is reported that a large number OF
Germans we're among the troops cap
tured
With the menace from the south re-
moved from their advance, the Rus
SLAMS have massed, 100000 strong,
along the East PrYssian frontier, with
the evident intention of resuming the
German invasion.
News from Austria indicates that
the dual monarchy is in grave danger
Of internal troubles, while her mill
tary situation is daily becoming
worse
Even Berlin seems to have lost
something of its prevailing optimism.
II confesses to the turning of anxious
eyes in the direction of the ally in
Galicia. During the first few weeks
Of war Germany and Austria virtually
dictated the direction of the cam
paign along the Russian border, be-
cause of the inadequacy OF Russian
railroad and other transport. But this
situation has been radically changed
by the Russian successes in Galicia.
One Of the most significant features
of the Austrian misfortunes is the
growing uneasiness in Rumania and
other Balkan states Montenegro and
Servia already are engaged against
Austria and have taken the offensive.
Rumania also is hungry for territory
and is said 20 be ready at any moment
to throw her 100000 veteran troops
against Austria.

CITY DADS HAVE
WHIRLAGIG Time

The City Dads met in regular semi
monthly conclave last Tuesday night
with all members present. Mayor Rice
failed to show up and president pro tenn
Blake presided. Two hours and half
were cosumed without any action of note
being taken and without any satisfaction
being given to beseeching citizens.
Jacob Felnheiser was before the body
with complaint that one of his neigh
bors, George Keopple, was still per.
mittiug some very unpopular poplars
to grow by the wayside, contrary to the
famous tree ordinance. One, twice and
thrice during the routine of business he
took occasion TO ask council to get up
courage enough to either order the
Keopple unpoplars hacked down or to
repeal the Poplar Ordinance" But
there was nothing doing.
His Honor, the Mayor, was not pres
ent to advise and president pro TEN
Tommy walked flat footed over the or
dinance and plainly said he didn't blame
anyone for disobeying the law.
Councilman Miller then took occasion
to tag Mayor Rice for failure to keep the
automobile and buggy owners from prop
erly circling around his markers at street
intersections. Marshal Duncan was in
cluded in the rap and that official plainly
put the matter on the Mayors shoulders
for failing to act after offenders had been
rounded up. AS a result the Police Com
mittee was instructed to consult His
Honor.
p. II. Schunck and Remaklus & Beck
man presented a claim for the erection
of public drinking fountain in front of
their business places on West Fayette
street, but the matter was tabled, Black
voting nay on the question.
Official reports were read, bills allowed
some money transferred and the meet
ing was adjourned.

the flame OF bigotry and hypocrisy, and
the third torch is that OF the law.
The great conAagration will start
about 1912, set by the torch Of the first
arm in the countries in southeastern
Europe. 1t will develop into destruc-
tive calamity in 1913. In that year see
all Europe in flames and bleeding
hear the lamentations OF huge battle
fields, but about the year 1914 a strange
figure from the north-a new Napolean
-enters the stage OF the bloody drama
He is a man of little militaristic train
ing, a writer or journalist, but in his
grip most of Europe will remain till 1915.
'The end of the great calamity will
mark a new political era for the old
world. There will be no empires or
kingdoms, but the world will form a
federation of the United States of Ma
tions. There will remain but four great
giants-the Anglo-SaXon, the Latins,
the Slavs and the Mongolians.

Washington, Sept. 1o.-The an.
nouncement of the German victory at
Maubeuge and the surrender Of that
important fortified French town was
conveyed to the German embassy
here in the following radiogram:
General headquarters report that
Maubeuge has fallen; 400 guns, four

A radiogram from Berlin to the
German embassy here explains in ad-
dition to other matters the situation
with regard to the relations Of Spain
toward the warning nations. 1t said; /;
"The Spanish ambassador at Berlin
strongly denies the rumOrs Of Spain's
unfriendly attitude against Germany
and Austria. All the Spanish party
leaders are for a strictly neutral po-
sition on the part of their govern
ment."
In another dispatch there was this
reference to Maubeuge: "All Ger

tance of the capture Of Maubeuge."

COMPANION OF
old DICK DEAD-EYE
Claims Former Celina Boy, Who
Dies at Dayton from Effects
Fatal Drug Habit.
TDayton Daily News. I

Heroic efforts by attaches of the Miami
Valley hospital Tuesday night, failed to
save the life of Lincoln Allison, youth
who about 10 o'clock Tuesday night was
removed from Macs pool room on East
Fourth street. Allison had taken an
overdose of morphine.
Little more than two hours after, Geo.
Red Case, companion of Allison, was
found dead in an attic bedroom of the
Tavlor House, 120 West Fifth street.
Case had apparently been deed about an
hour when the innkeeper, Chas. Bierlein,
found him. The body was still warm.
The Youths eyes were distorted, his lips
were swollen to three times their natural
size and the body was twisted into weird
shape, showing only too plainly the
agony that Case suffered before death re-
lieved him. His death also gives evi-
dence of an overdose of the poison. Cor
oner Mckemy stated that the agent in
both deaths was probably morphine. Al
lison still clutched a paper of powder
when admitted to the hospital.
Both Allison and Case were suspected
done peddlers, and had on numerous
occasions had been warned by police 10
cease operations in the distribution of
drugs.
Case, with several companions, most OF
whom were members of the Ohio Nation
al Guard, were arrested at about the same
time, for misconduct under the Main
Street bridge, but owing to the Celina en-
campment of the militia, Case was re-
leased.
Case had been estranged from his fam
ily for the past year, it is said, and had
been earning livelihood as a waiter in
the cheaper restaurants of the city. His
mother, Mrs. w. l.. Case, lives with the
boys sister, Mrs c. F, Breidenbach, at
Mercer, Ohio.
