KITCHENER OPTIMISTIC,
 RUSSIANS .sCOME BACK ;

London Sept. 16.-Coincident with Earl Kitchener's optimistic remarks in the House of Lords concerning the position of the Russian armies, they are showing an increasing disposi- ton to reassume the offensive at many points on the eastern front. They are not only pressing their att tacks against the Austrians in Galicia but for the most part are holding up the German rush in mid-Poland. The Russians also assert that they have thrown back the invaders between Divinsk and Wilma.
 The Germans battery still holds out at the bridgehead near Dvinsk,s a1- though the Russians apparently are holding their opponents irl> check in this region.
 Counting their captures in Ga1icia, the Russians lately have been taking more prisoners than they have been losing. In England. hopes are rising that Earl Kitchener did not make an incautious prediction when he de- clared Germany had shot her bolt but that his statement was based on facts It is said here that Von Hin denburg's drive is losing it's vigors overcome the dfficulties of the marsh be unable to regain the, upper hand in Galicia. sas=s.. ss5 as

DYNAMITE SHIP MAY BE MOORED
 OFF STRATFORD
6continued from Page 10

The agents of her owners, Punch Edye & Co.,. of No. Bridge street, New York, resigned their commission. as they did not wish to become in vo1ved in international difficulties. So Capt. Heinrich Orge1 and his crew were left in the condition known as flat. Their ship was all loaded up, with no place to go.
 If she started out of the harbor she'd be captured or sunk by brit limit. And the longer she has re- mained here, the less welcome she has become The dynamftef cases should be turned completely over at regular intervals, to keep the strength uniformly distributed But Capt. Or money to hire them. All they have had is their wages.

 stSeventy five marks for the month. Oh. you Coney Islandy'
 Capt. OrgeI two weeks ago was seized with rheumatism and is in the German hospital with one leg in a plaster cast. First Officer KahIer is in charge of the vessel.
 we are getting tired of looking at the same harbor for thirteen months he said. Maybe a change would be good. We do the best we can to keep things safe-open the matches every day and let the sun dry out all be- low. But they say the dynamite is getting more dangerous in case of a bump.
 Kahler and the other officers and men would all rather be fighting for their country Nearly every one of them has lost relatives in the various battles. They go ashore as they please.
 The Madgeburg is only a few hun drede feet from the main channel us- ed by transatlantic vessels. Coney Island and other excursion craft run still closed to her. Her crew, as we'll as every one else, would be better satisfied if she were elsewhere.
 An anchorage off Hernpstead har- bor was suggested several weeks ago by the Harbor Land Board, but was vetoed because of it's nearness to many homes of the wealthy, which must suffer in case of a blow -up.s
 Off Bridgeport, the only habitable structure within the danger zone would be Stratford Shoals Light, about a mile from the proposed berth.

FEDERAL LAW ON
 RAIL OFF TO-DAY

The Perplexity of those railbird hunters who have not known wheth- CT to observe the federal or the state law in the hunting of rail will be re- moved to-day when the federal law officially opens the season. There have been many hunters who have been in doubt whether it was allow able to hunt rail after the state law lifted the ban on September 12 and before the federal law lifted to-day. The federal law supercedes the state law but it's enforcement is not under the Jurisdiction of the state fisheries and game commission. The state duck law was changed by the last General Assembly to conform with the fede- ral law, but the state law concerning the shooting of rail was not touched. The hunting of ducks, geese, brant and swan can now begin October 1. The regular hunting season for game opens, October 8.
