Pianelli Fencing Club of this city
which last winter sent out a team
composed of Messrs. Sawtelle, Bio
deau and White, which defeated the
Yale fencing team at Brunswick. The
club plans to make it's headquarters
from now on at the Y. M c. A. build
ing and will be a part of the associa-
ton. It's members will meet every
Wednesday evening to indulge in their
favorite pastime in one of the rooms
of the building.
One of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of last evenings entertainment
was the swimming.
A chief rendezvous of the guests at the
building last evening was the swimming
pool. Boys and men, amateurs and stars.
were all having a merry time Despite oc-
casional splashings received by the wit
nesses they preferred to remain and
watch the fancy diving and swimming
than to leave. 1t was no unworthy exhi-
bition which rewarded their staying, for
many of the feats accomplished by the
men in the pool were well worth an adj
mission fee. Physical Director Henna
was there with the bells on performing
such stunts as diving and swimming
across the tank with hands and feet tied.
Another interesting event was the bowl
ing match between the Lawyers and the
Bankers, in which the dependency of fl
nance upon the law was shown by the
final score of the Lawyers 1915 against
the Bankers 1907. The legal lights were
Holt, Shorey, Titcomb Maher and Mar
tin, and the banking pillars were Kins-

GERMANS HOLDING
(continued from Page y

was made yesterday when they tried
to throw bridge across the river. The
bridge. however, according to the
French report was destroyed during
the night.
German Attempt Fails
The Germans, who are supposed to
have had the assistance of heavy Aus
trian guns apparently have failed in
their first attempt to pierce the outer
line of forts at Antwerp. official re-
ports and statements by correspond
ents say that none of the Belgian forts
has been severely damaged, and that
the German infantry attacks were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to the at
tackers.
The opinion prevails here that the
Germans do not intend at present to
make a serious attempt to besiege
Antwerp and that the attack they have
made is with the purpose of keeping
the Belgians within the fortress and
stopping sorties, which were discon-
certing to the Germans occupying the
rest of the country, and occasionally
dislocated their plans.
May Evacuate Belgium
Again reports are in circulation that
the Germans are making preparations
to evacuate Belgium, at any rate, that
portion as far east as Brussels. 1t
is said that their force in Brussels is
picking up, but such statements have
been made so often that not much re-
lance is placed in them.
The battle which promises to the
greatest and most important of the
eastern campaign has commenced near
Cracow, Galicia, where an Austro- Ger
man army estimated to number $780,
600 men is endeavoring to check the
Russian advance. This combined
Austro- German army has occupied
line just inside the Russian Poland
frontier from Cracow through CZen-
stochowa TO Kalisz, and has had lots
OF time to prepare strong defensive
positions.
Both sides are bringing up reinforce
meits. The Germans are hurrying troops
from Breslau and Bavaria. All the b.
hemian and Moravian railways are con-
gested with German troops and war ma
terial
The German plan of an invasion of Rus
STA from East Prussia has failed, accord
ing to Russian official reports. These
reports say the Germans got as far as
the western bank of the Niemen river,
but found strong Russian forces in the
hills on the eastern bank. Being in
marshy ground. the Germans, according
to the Russian viewpoint, were at dis
advantage and could not advance.
A fight is now in progress at Miriampol,
near the northern Prussian frontier.
while further south in the Suwalki dis
trict, the Russians claim to have turned
the Germans retreat into disorderly
fight.
More heavy fighting is taking place at
Augustowo, 40 miles northeast of War
saw in the province of Suwalki, where
the Germans have received reinforce
ments and been able to take the offensive.
At Grajowo Is miles southwest of Au-
gustowo, the Russians have again en-
tered German territory and at Mlawa Tie
