CAFE PROPRIETORS "SKIP
BY LIGHT OF THE NOON

When the regular boarders Of the
Brunswick Cafe went for their break
fast at the usual hour yesterday
morning there was nothing doing
They found the front door securely
locked, and there was no evidel ces
of the crooks or anyone else being
around
Thh customers waited for brief
spell and then, deciding that prob
ably the entire staff Of the restaurant
had oversight, they went somewhere
else for their breakfast.
But the cook, nor the proprietor,
nor the cashier nor the walters or
anybody else turned up, and later in
the morning the creditors began TO
grow a little suspicious and an invfs-
tigation Immediately followed, and it
was then discovered that the entire
crew had folded their tents and qti-
etly skipped by the light of the

NO INCREASE IN U.No BREAD.
Faber, the Manufacturer, Keeps the
Prices Down. Though Flour Is Up.

Faber, the Manufacturer, Keeps the
Frices Down. Though Flour Is Up.
Elsewhere in The News this morn
ing will be found an interesting ad-
verti3ement from G. A. Faber, the en-
ergetic baker and the creator of the
famous U-No bread. The strong point
which this advertisement brings out
and for which Mr.. Faber should
have credit in that it has not yielded
to war price conditions. While flour
and sugar are up, way up in price,
U-No bread remains the same and in
addition to that the loaf Is just az
large as it ever was ~ many cities
the bakers have both increased the
price and decreased the loaf, while
Mr.. Faber has done neither the one
nor the other. The people Of this
city appreciate the liberal spirit Of
Mr.. Faber in this instance and that
they will keep thai in mind when
they need bread there is no question.

ton by bands rendering military airs,
hurled masses of men in the hastily
constructed entrenchments where the
allies had dug themselves in as pro
lection against the bitiless artillery

1t was cold steel against cold steel,

Rheims. where the ruins of the IA
nous cathedral are still smoking, is
likely to prove an object of contro-
versy long after the military forces

line of fire and that it was impossi-
Bile to save it in spite of their instruc-
tions to spare the building.

of their new year. The feast contin-
ued until sundown yesterday, among
the unorthodoX. Among the orthodox
il will be continued into today. The
jewish calendar year 5675 began yes
terday.
The passage in the Bible on which
the Jews base their observance of
the holiday do not specify how it
shall be spent except to blow the
trumpet to call the worShippers to-
gether for worship ara to forbid work
OF any kind.
The holiday begins on the day of
the new moon of the seventh month.
The Jews Of old observed the sea-
son of the new moon as holy and the
seventh day of the week was holy.
The blowing of the trumpet, or sho-
far was among the ancient Jews the
central feature of their elaborate GER
monies. Between Yom IIaddln, The
new year, and Yom i1lppur, the day
of atonement, intervene ten days of
Iatonement.

GERMANS CHOSE
THEIR PRESENT
STRONG POSITION
SHOWN BY FACT THAT HEAVY
ARTILLERY is REsTIN ON
A FOUNDATION OF
SOLID CEMENT.

CONTINUE DAY AND NIGHT
The Germans placed into Aston ty

the p ess ArIIry.

London, Sept. 21.-While th1 70 -
tunes of battle fluctuate along the
center of the extended front n
France, desperate efforts are beilg
made to execute turning meyneats
on both flanks.
The Anglo-French wink is otl.l,3-
ing every ounce Of strength to turn
hte flank of the German general, V4n
kluck, who is reported as having re-
ceived heavy reinforcements, while
the German left, according to cauri-
ously worded announcement in P5rlin
is making equally strenuous efforts
to outflank the French right resting
on Vedun.
Under ordinary weather cond tions
the Anglo-French task would he the
easier for the reason that Verdun,
heavily fortified, must fall bef0 th,,
French right can be seriously threat
ened; but on the German right the
heavy rains have made such morass
of the valley of the Disc that the al
lies are hardly likely to move along
what would be their natural course
until the German front north of Sail
sons has beea drive back.
The high ground between Noyon
and Chauny has been heavily forti-
fled by Gen. Won Kluck, and it domi-
mates the whole valley of the Oise
That the Germans chose their pres
ent defensive position deliberately is
indicated by the fact that their heavy
artillery rests on cement foundations
which must have taken some time to
construct.
Some reports received in London
declared that the reason for the des-
perate counter-attacks on Rhemis is
found in a movement of the allies
which has virtually isolated Rheims
from Laon, a town 80 miles to tho
northwest If this is true all of Gen.
Won Kluck's marvellous strategy IN
protecting his sorelv pressed let
flank will have proved futile
