ANOTHER MOVE IN
POLITICAL BATTLE
Richards Contrives to Hold Up
Bacharach's Candidacy With
Writ Of certiorari.
speclal TO the E,eninr Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
TRENTON, Sept. -Assemblyman
Emerson L. Richards, of Atlantic
county, took his second step today in
an effort to prevent former Assem-
blyman Isaac Bacharach, of Atlantic
City, from becoming a candidate
against Richards for the Republican
nomination for Congress in the Sec
ond district At the request of Rich
ards, Supreme Court Justice Garri-
son allowed writ of certiorari to
review the action of the secretary of
state in receiving and filing Bachar-
ach's petition. To be of any use the
court would have to hear argument
on the writ and make its decision be-
fore September %, primary day.
Richards charges that the Bacha-
rach petition is Illegal, because it was
not filed within the time specified by
the Geran act. The time expired on
Sunday and the secretary of state ac-
cepted the petition on Monday. upon
the theory that the Geran law in
tended to promote the freedom of the
primaries. Richards objected to the
| receipt of the Bacharach petition al
| the time.
With Atlantic county a unit. the
nomination would probably go to a
candidate from that county. But with
| 1t split up hopelessly by the bitter.
ness between Richards and Bacha
| rach, the chances are that the nomi.
nation will go to either Senator
| Blanchard White or former Senator
Griffith Lewis, both of Burlington
county.

SITUATION BEFORE PARIS
OUGHT TO FAVOR ALLIES
STRATEGY, SAYS EXPERT
Declares Dispos ton of Forces Now Is What
Would Been Before ad Germany Not Invaded France
Through Belgium, but from East

instead of from Belgium, French
strategy has an ideal opportunity to
prove it's worth. The long-expected
direction of attack has been reached.
If the French cannot meet it with
carefully prepared, long-drawn plans
there seems little hope that the allies
will be able to do more than remain
on the offensive constantly until Rus
sian pressure toward Berlin forces the
retirement of a large part of the
German army from France.
Reports of the offensive being taken
by the allies for the first time since
the Germans crossed Belgium, sug-
gest that familiar strategic problems
of an tern-invasion are now begin
ming to make themselves apparent to
the French general staff. Hitherto
the plans of the German general staff
prepared long before the war began
| have dominated the action. These
secret details of operations have been
!baffling and have permitted the Ger
mans to break all records for fast
marching through the enemys coun-
| try.

By j. w. +. MASON,
OF United Press.

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-The situa-
ton before Paris ought strategically
to favor the allies. The disposition
of the forces is what it would have
been earlier in the war had Germany
respected the neutrality of Belgium
and invaded France from the east
instead of from the north. The
French always expected the enemy
to come from the east. which is one
reason why the allies were so lam
entably unprepared in Belgium.
Now the turn of French general
staff has come. The advantage of the
objective has been to the present with
the Germans. The French strategists
unprepared. as events have proven
for the appearance of the enemy from
the north now are facing other con-
ditions with deliberately worked out
strategic detectives. Their unfolding
will create the next phase of the war
Now that the German line of in
vasion has swung around as if it had
come from Lorraine and Luxembourg

MAN KILLED BY
A WAGON CRASH
At COURT HOUSE
Jersey City Man Is Victim.
Companion Badly Hurt-Ve-
hicIe Hit by Car.

Max Moses, of 619 Summit avenue.
Jersey City, is dead and Thomas
Malinonowski of Hawthorne avenue,
Arlington, has compound fracture
of the skull as the result of col
lision between a two-horse meat de-
livery wagon of Swift & Co. and a
Springfield avenue trolley car at
Springfield avenue and Shipman
street at 7:10 o'clock this morning.
The motorman of the car, Gottfried
Wertz, thirty-seven years old, of
Boyden and Springfield avenues, Hill
ton. and the conductor. jerome
Moran, twenty-four years old. of 415
Thirteenth avenue, are under arrest
at the First police precinct.
The accident is surrounded by mys-
terry. Police Captain M. A. Ryan says
that for the first time in his expert
ence the officials of the Public Service
Corporation have refused to give the
police any information, and he asks
that all persons who saw the mishap
communicate with him.
The crew of the car was arrested
by Mounted Policeman Thomas Nc
Avoy, who was on his way to work
who did not see the accident.
AS near as can be learned the troll
ley was proceeding east on Spring
field avenue about 7:10 when the meat
wagon came out of Shipman street
into Springfield avenue. Moses was
driving and Malinonowski was on the
seat beside him.
After the collision the fender of the
car was on top of the horses. the
wagon was swung around until it
faced east, the direction in which
the trolley was going, and Moses, the
driver, was under the trolley, dead.
Malinonowski. the helper, who was
Unconscious in the street, was rushed
to the City Hospital, where the physi-
clans found he had sustained a COM
pound fracture of the skull. For all
the serious character Of his injury
he was in the First precinct station
house before II o'clock with his head
swathed in bandages, but he APP
peared to be unable to give a clear
account of what happened.
Wertz and Moran, the motorman
and conductor of the trolley, were
held to await the action of the grand
jury in the First Precinct Court and
later turned over to the county prose-
cutor's office.
