REVIEW IS SEEN
BY PARK THRONG
1000 View Sunday Drill at
North End of Branch
Brook.

Fifteen thousand persons witnessed
the first field review of the First Reg
iment of the National Guard of New
Jersey held at the north end Of
Branch Brook yesterday afternoon.
The review was for the purpose of
stimulating enlistments. As a result
ii was said that a large number of
young men informed the officers they
would soon present themselves as
candidates for the regiment.
The review was directed by Briga-
staff The olive clad soldiers went
through their evolutions in impress
siVe style on the green sward. There
was to attempt at field work, but the
spectators showed deep interest and
appreciation of the soldiers
Among those in the reviewing stand
were the twelve Democratic candi-
dates for Assembly. They We're in

ment.
The number of men participating
in the review was 525. 1t was said
that the total strength of the regi-
mont is more than 700, thus indi-
eating that 200 did not care to take
part in the Sunday drill. The nor
NAL strength of the regiment should
be close to the 1000 mark. In recent
years there has been a marked fall
ing off in First Regiment matters
and many members of the regiment
resigned OF late the talk of military
preparedness has awakened public
interest and the field review was ar
ranged in order to attract young men
who are ready for military training.
Field maneuvers also were held
yesterday and Saturday by the Fifth
regiment, the work taking place on
the grounds Of the North Jersey
Country Club, near Paterson. A fea-
ture of the drill was the use of q
modern type armored automobile.
Headed by the regimental band, the
members OF the First regiment swung

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25.-Fire this
afternoon in a feed store on the north
side spread to box factory where
a large number of girls were en-
ployed. At a late hour this after
noon, twenty-five girls were still un-
accounted for.
AS the flames rushed upward through
the f1imsy building frightened girls
ran to the windows and without hesi-
tation began jumping to the street.
In an incredibly short time the en-
tire structure was wrapped in flames,
and gathering crowds in the streets
heard the screams of those unable to
reach the windows.
Seven women were quickly gathered
from the sidewalk and hurried to a
nearby hospital, where one died soon
after being admitted.
The factory was operated by the
Union Paper Box Company, and Off

work when the fire broke out. Seven
of them jumped and three were
taken out by firemen before the build
ing collapsed, leaving twenty-five un-

ITALIAN ATTACKS
BEING REPULSED,
SAY AUSTR|AN|'IS
Heavy Losses Suffered by En-
emy in Desperate Assaults.
Vienna Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

VIENNA. via London, Oct. rs, AIS
a. m.-The official statement issuEd
Sunday night by the Austrian war
office tells of desperate efforts by the
Italians to penetrate the Austrian
front. The statement says:
italian theater-The general Isorixo
battle continues. Infantry attacks
conducted yesterday with unprece-
dented bitterness included also at.
tacks against the bridgehead at Goerz.
All the enemy's attacks collapsed be-
fore the tenacious resistance of our
brave infantry, who were splendidly
assisted by formidable artillery. The
enemy suffered terrible losses.
1.-THE main Italian attack was ac-
companied by attacks by strong
forces against the Tyrolean front. The
plateaus of Vilgereuth and Lafraun
were held under severe artillery, flrS
ing. Several Italian divisions are at
tacking the Dolomite front. Here yes
terday and the day before yesterday
one attack each against Bamberger
Huette and Coldilan from Tresassi,
two attacks against Rufedo south
west of Schluderbach and four at
tacks each against our line north Of
the village of Suef and the Popena
valley were bloodily repulsed.
"On the Carinthlan front there were
My artillery combats and skirmishes.
In the Flitsch valley the enemy yes
terday undertook isolated unsuccess-
full attacks. Their attempts to attack
then relaxed.
Against the Mrzlivrh front, to and
including the bridgehead at Tolmino,
the Italians are still making desper-
ate efforts, especially against the
height west of st. Lucia which Is
continually attacked. Here their
Alpine troops penetrated a small por-
ton of our front. An energetic coun-
ter attack by infantry regiments NUM-
bers fifty-thFee and eighty-six elected
the enemy in short time.
I'm the Isonzo district the enemy
was unable to penetrate any part OF
our positions. Before the bridgehead
of Gorilla several attempts to attack
Monte Sabotino broke down. After
strong artillery preparation consider
able Italian forces attacked this dom
inating mountain position and Osla Via
yesterday. Our troops firmly held all
positions.
"On the border of the plateau Of
Doberdo in the section between
Mainiza and Monte Deiseibusi, the
battle is raging with undiminished
violence.
Conditions have been more quiet
in the southern sector. Repeated
fresh attacks by the enemy failed
completely. The Italians have OBJ
tained a foothold temporarily in only
few of our outmost trenches. South

FRAZER AND RAYMOND
TO Be SUED, HE SAYS
Mancini Declares Mayor and
City Counsel Owe Him $500
on Last Campaign.

Suit for expenses incurred during
the last mayoralty campaign will be
instituted against Mayor Thomas L.
Raymond and City Counsel Spaulding
Frazer within a few days, according
to a statement made today by Fred
Mancini, president of the Italian
Realty Company and active In First
ward politics. Mr.. Mancini alleges
that more than 5000 is coming to him
for automobile hire and similar ex-
penses, all of which the mayor and
Mr.. Frazer promised to make good.
They deny the promise and any
responsibility for the bills. according
to letters exhibited by Mr.. Mancini.
The latter states that he is forced to
take the impending action because a
judgment for the expenses has been
secured against him by Jacob L..
Newman.
The judgment to which Mr.. Man
cini refers was obtained early in Sep
tember. Under date of September 2S
Mr. Mancini wrote to the mayor, re-
newing his demand for a settlement
Two days later Mr.. Frazer replied
that neither the mayor nor he had
any recollection of any promise to
pay Mr.. Mancini for the expenses in
question. Furthermore, the c&y
counsel said. Mr.. Mancini's failure to
present the bills within the time limit
specified by the corrupt practices act
made his claim invalid
The suit, Mr.. Mancini says, will be
for $500. The actual amount of the
bills, however is alleged to be a sum
somewhat in excess of 5000. Mr.. Man
cini showed a letter in which he had
written to the mayor last May, ask
ing for an appointment. He was ip
formed in reply to call on certain
day. He did so, together with some
of his associates in the Italian Realty
Company, Mr.. Mancini says, and
waited for hours without seeing the
mayor.
Under date of July IL last, Mayor
Raymond wrote to the Italian Realty
Company in reference to report that
the members of the latter were no
longer with him: II cannot forget
the way we all worked together, and
do not quite understand where there
has been any difference. l am sure
that your cooperation is needed"
Besides alleging that he had Mr..
Frazer's assurances that any ex-
penses would be paid for after the
election, and that the mayor had prom
ised to take care of the workers who
were mourning expenses, Mr. Mapcini
claimed in a letter to Mr.. Frazer that
Judge Themistocles Mancusi-U -Ungaro
had also told him to go ahead and
anliaot after election.

do come, though"
The coming of the Zeppelins must
have been n great surprise to Lon
doners, as previous letter said:
THE Germans say they will burn
London. | would like to live little
longer, but we have only once to die
so let them come. They never will
get here and London never will burn. 9"
In this earlier letter, sent, during
the summer, occurs the following:
II can't begin to write half the suf-
ferings the poor are going through.
London is full of tho French and the
poor Belgians, and hear their stories
right from their own lips, but 1 can't
tell them TO you; they are too sad.
~ don't see how the really poor
here live-meat, bread, sugar, tea,
milk are all so dear. Many will die
this winter if prices go up any higher
Everyone says the war will last three
years more. God help us If this is so
II feel so bad at times. I wish you
would write often, and have all the
others write. 1t only takes ten days
for the letters to get to me, and they
do not open letters-only war letters

postoffice told us that"

Adopting the well known hypothesis
OF Helmholtz, which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration. If one
gives to the sun coefficient of ex-
panslon intermediate between that of
mercury and that of gas one arrives at
the conclusion that it has taken 1,000,-
600 to 100000 years for the sun TO
contract to its present radius; in par
ticular, 1t would have taken 10000 years
to contract from infnity to radius
twice Its present radius. Finally, the
sun will take 200.o00,O00 years to con-
tract from its present radius to half
that radius, and even then its tempera-
ture at the surface will be 5000 de-
grees.-Scientif1c American.

How Turner Painted.

II we are to believe Thornbury, the
wonderful Burning Of the House of
Lords and Commons" was almost en-.
tirely painted after the canvas was
hung on the walls OF the Royal acad-

self at that period that he would send
to the exhibition just laid in sketch,
trusting entirely TO vanishing days to
complete the scheme. He would arrive
at the academy rs early as 4 o'clock In
the morning and be among the last to
leave In the evening. Unlike Lawrence,
who had to step back constantly to
judge of effects, Turner would work
so to say, with his nose to the canvas.
