Lost Heavily
In Poker Game
This Morning
AT CARDS IS NOW
MINUS TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY DOLLARS.
FOREIGNERS DOUBLE CROSS
MAN AND GET MOST OF
HIS MONEY.

A participant in poker game
which is alleged to have taken place
in the Tavern hotel this morning
Gaims that he lost roll OF money
containing $230.00. From what can
be learned of the affair it seems as II
two foreigners who the police think
arc professional crooks, doubled
crossed the man who had the roll
and with marked cards succeeded in
winning his money.
1t seems as If the game ended in
an argument and when the foreign
crs had takcn> the last of the mans
mGncy, they started away. The man
started after them and the race on
the street caused the police to OBJ
tain knowledge OF the affair. Off
Ger Kern picked UP one of the two
men who is alleged to have done the
crooked work. The other one was
not apprehended.
No names are available today but
the game is being investigated by
the rolice. The man who was ar
rested had $4,000 in money on his
person at the time. He placed up a
forfeit for his appearance in police
court in the morning and it is like
~ more light will be thrown upon
the affair.

Logically a great and decisive bat
tic ought to be under, way from
Paris 10 Verdun. but the veil of se-
crecy and the mcagrcncss OF official
communications preclude positive
predictions regarding the nature OF
the engagement proceeding III the
eastern war theatre.
News from Austria indicated that
the dual monarchy is in grave dan
ger Of internal trouble, while her
military situation is daily becoming
worse.
Even Berlin seems to have lost
something of its prevailing optim-
ism. 1t confesses to the turning of
anxious eyes in the direction of
Galicia.
During the first few weeks OF the
war, Germany and Austria virtually
dictated the direction of tho cam
paign along the Russian border be-
cause of the inadequacy of Russian
railroads and other transports. But
this situation has been radically
changed by Russian successes in
Galicia.
Russia now appears to be assum-
ing the Offensive in East Prussia
She has thrown 100000 men
along the border. This action is re-
gardcd here as menace against the
heart of Germany which cannot re-
main unanswered.
Hence the stories of movements of
German veterans from the western

LONDON. Sept. 9.-In the even,

probably would take refuge in
America. according to the London
Financial News" which says to-
day:
There can be no doubt that tho
defeat OF Germany in the present
war means for the kaiser one of two
things: Either death by his own or
somebody clse's hand or else fligh'
to nOn-Teutonic soil. Ever since
Germany began to make prepara-
tions for attack the kaiser has been
investing large sums Of money on
the other side of the Atlantic. He is
one of the largest land owners in
:hc western states. but not in his
own name. Of course.
He owns considerable sections OF
property in Western Canada. ThcSe
Investments in America indicated
very plainly that the kaiser at th4
time when he was preparing to stake
the fortunes Of his dynasty upon tho
:attCmptcd conquest OF western ELL
rope he also was preparing for the
possibility of failure by consolidat-
ing his huge financial resources IN
