Lieut.. Von Forstner was reported to have been Killed near Louvain in Sep tember, 1914, but official confirmation was lacking.
 The Zabern incident occurred at Zabern, Alsace, where the 99th Ger man infantry under Colonel Won Reuter- was stationed in 1913. The citizens of the town had difficulties with the soldiers and showed strong anti-German feeling. Lieutenant Won Forstner provoked several clashes be tween his men and the inhabitants, and told the soldiers to bayonet any one seen insultings the German flag. He himself sabered a lame shoe maker. For this he was tried and sentenced to 43 days imprisonment, although strongly upheld by Colonel Eon Reuter-, his commander"

BRISTOL STRIKERS
 TO RETURN TO WORK


 OHer to Leave Adjustment of Dis pute to Good Faith of Concern. Bristol Sept. 4.-The strike at the New Departure Mia. Goa was ended this afternoon when the strikers ac- cepted the company's offer to return to work and leave the adjustment of time and wage schedules to the good faith of the company.

COUNTESS TOLSTOI IS
 MISS ROGERS GUEST
Famous Russian Woman En- tertained by New Brit
 ain Missionary.

In a letter written to her parents iii this city, Miss E. Gertrude Rogers, daughter of MT. and Mrs. D. M Rogers of 29 Camp street, vividly por- trays conditions that exist in Van, Turkey, where she was connected with the branch of the American Missionary society as a missionary.
 The missive describes the en- trance of the Russians into that country and the treatment afforded the Turkish women by the soldiers of the Czar's army. Many of these women found it impossible to escape.
 The letter is dated June 22 and at that time Miss Rogers had as her guest the celebrated Countess Tol- stoi, widow of the noted Count Leo Tolstoi. Miss Rogers speaks in the highest terms of the countess. The countess also presented one of the noted generals of the Russian army at the American society headquarters, and the party enjoyed luncheon to- eether. In speaking of Countess Tol- stoi, Miss Rogers pictures her as a ] plain woman, attired in the simplest of costumes, whose one concern is l that no one shall make a fuss over her It was after the greatest per. i suasion that she was induced tc occupy sleeping quarters in the society's home. ..-+
 Later Countess Tolstoi rented 8 house in Van, and set it up in the simplest fashion as she once remarked to Miss Rogers that it was her inten- tion to live like the soldiers.
 In speaking of the conditions in Van at the time, Miss Rogers states that it is almost impossible to obtain food, and the prices asked are pro- hjbitive. Soap is an article which is almost unknown in Turkey and it was necessary for Countess Tolstoi to send to Russia for a supply. She has made a careful study of sanitary condi- tions in Van and has made arrange ments for the improvement of the rlace which will be welcomed by all Americans there.

 Hard Battle.

Constable Andrew Lawrence Of East Berlin captured a burglar who gave his name as Albert Roy of Aberdeen South Dakota aged 2s years, attempting to rob the baggage room and ticket office of the East Berlin depot last night abouut g o'clock after hard battle. Taking advantage of Constable Lawrence while he had his gun lowered Roy made a futile attempt to gain his freedom while the officer of the law was searching him. The prisoner was not subdued until the constable struck him a blow behind the left ear which stunned him. The prison CT showed no more fighting spirit and was locked up in the town jail.
 Roy was arraigned before Judgc George G. Griswold in the Berlin town court this morning and pleaded guilty to attempted burglary. Prob able cause was found and he was bound over to superior court under bonds of $1,0O0.
 John Teradina, while passing the depot last evening saw a man sneak out of the place with gum slot ma- chine. He watched the man carry
 
 nearby and leave 1t there. The stranger then approached the depot again and putting his shoulder to the window of the baggage room broke it in. The crash of the glass could be heard for some distance and fearing detection Roy hid him. self under the station platform for several minutes.
 Teradina at once set out in haste to the home of John P. DeMore, sec- tion foreman for the New York; New Haven and Hartford railroad, and 1 informed him the depot was being burglarized. DeMore sent Teradina tc call Constable Lawrence while he ran to the Bridge shop where he secured a gun and awaited the constable Together they stealthily crept to the depot where they watched Roy riff ing the desks in the ticket office having gained entrance by breaking in 8 panel in the door He was or. dered to throw up his hands by the constable which he did, in the mean while coming out through the win dow by which he had gained entrance Constable Lawrence then put aside his gun and commenced to searct the man. The fight and the sub. mission of the prisoner followed.

RUSSIANS BURNING
 HOUSES AND CROPS
Austrian Officer Says Retreat is Mas terpiece of Systematic Devastation.
 Which Recalls That of 1912.

Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, Sept. 1, Via Paris, Sept 4, Il a. m.- (delayed in transmission). The Lau- zanne Gazette publishes a letter from an Austrian officer fighting on the eastern front, in which she says:
 "The Russian retreat is master piece of terrifying, systematic devas- tation which recalls the retreat of 1872. There is an immense sea Of flames behind the retiring Russian armies caused by burning houses and crops. General Mischenko is followed by we'll organized detachments of Cossacks whose duty it is to burn everything behind the army. They accomplish their task implacably.
 When the Honveds tried to enter Krylow in pursuit of the Russians every street was a1ame. They were unable to pass through the huge fur mace and lost many precious hours in going round the town by indirect roads across fields.
 "When the Austro- -Hungari ar rived at Vladimir ir-Volnyskyi they found the town burning, and the town of Verba also was blazing. Every village on the Volynskyi Plain as far as Kovel was in flames. The Austro- Hungarian troops had no shelter for days.
 '''The roads are indescribably cut up and obstructed. Conveys arrived a day and a half late. It would take fifty soldiers to draw one cart out of a mud hole.
 ''Thousands of men worked upon repairs on the railway from Sokol to Vladimir Volnyskyi and if the road had not been repaired in time we would have met with disaster"

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS
Stagnation Follows Turmoil of Week
 Here.

New York, Sept. 4.-Stagnation to- day followed the turmoil of the week in foreign exchange markets here. The relaxation was so complete that for more than hour after the open ing of the short business day not a quotation on any foreign moneys was available.
 This was partly due to the big exodus yesterday from the financial district of bankers in close touch with the situation, on the eve of the labor day holiday. Partly, too, the easier situation was ascribed to the far better tone of the market after it had found itself yesterday.
