Drive to Relieve Turkey.

London, Sept 2l.-The Germans
have sent men and guns against Servia.
Although the effort to drive the Rus
SLAMS back apparently requires large
forces of Teutons, troops have been di-
verted from the eastern front for a
drive through the Balkans in an at
tempt to aid the hard pressed Turk.
Meanwhile intense interest is taken
in the Bulgarian situation and the
efforts of the opposition to induce the
king and government to depart from
the paths of neutrality and join the
entente powers.
1t is believed, however. that despite
denials the railway agreement with
Turkey binds Bulgaria to maintain a
benevolent neutrality toward Turkey
and the Germanic powers.
or the many big battles fought on
the eastern front during the last five
months, few, If any, have been fraught
with such importance for the opposing
armies as that now in progress to the
east and south of Wilma, where Field
Marshall Won Hindenburg is trying to
cut off the retreat and destroy the Rus
sian army which defended that city.
Concern is expressed in London for
the safety of the Russian forces, esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000. The
Russian line of retreat from the wilma
region has been limited because of the

here today. In instructing this jury,
Justice James ]. Bergen spoke Of
the case in which Frank Tokacs, a
ififteer year old Perth Amboy boy,
is held for stabbing to death his play
mate, Paul Goetz, and said that If
the evidence warranted verdict in
the first degree or for manslaughter,
they should bring it in regardless
of the defendants age, and let the
trial jury decide upon the boys
guilt or innocence.
Subsequent to the request of
Sheriff Edward F. Houghton, Daniel
W. Boehm, one of the members of
the Perth Amboy excise board
charged with dishonest practices in
public Office by former Recorder
Henry w. Kehoe, who threatens to
lay evidence to this effect before the
grand jury, was excused by order Of
the court from serving upon the jury
that may be called upon to make an
investigation of the matter. Several
other men were excused.
In instructing the jury, Justice
Bergen set forth the general laws re-
garding the degree of negligence
that may be used by automobilists in
order to warrant indictments. There
are no cases of this kind to come be-
fore this jury, the April grand jury
having cleaned the slate. Justice
Bergen, however, explained the laws
in the event of cases of this kind
that may be later brought before

MEMBERS IN RACE FOR 300
STRIKE CLOSES UP
THE CABLE WORKS
Employees Want Eight Hour
Day, Same Pay-WiII Send
Work to Other Plants.

All employees excepting machinists
of the Standard Underground Gable
Works at High and Washington
streets are now on strike. Their
general demands amount to an eight
hour day with pay as is now given
for from ten and half to fourteen
hours work While there were re-
ports among the strikers that wire
and rod mill workers had been
granted demands of two cents more
ton and an eight-hour day, with
time and half pay for overtime
| there came denials from heads OF
the plant that there had been any
settlements whatsoever. The com
pany posted notices that all employ
es would be paid off in full at 10
O clock this morning. They stated
that the plant would thereafter be
closed Indefinitely.
The strike started yesterday noon
when about hundred of the young
er employees did not return to work
They loitered about the plant and
succeeded in making a major portion
of the employees stay out. Today
the company had a general strike on
its hands.
William A. Conner, vice president
and general manager of the cable
company, stated today that men of
the wire and rod mill were the only
, employees who had made written
demand. Both he and Superintend-
ent G. C. Baldwin declared that the
men of that department were unrea-
sonable when they asked for pay at
the rate of a fourteen-hour day for
but eight hours of actual work. Mr..
Conner stated that the demands
, were generally unreasonable, as, if
he was to grant them in their entire
ty, he would be paying from two to
four cents more an hour than was
paid in any other large plant in this
section, he maintained.
Approximately 1,100 men, youths,
boys and girls are on strike from
to be brisk there, but officials say
they can afford to remain closed in
definitely by sending orders to the
firms other plants. The strikers
have been generally orderly thus far,
but they have taken active steps to
keep all employees from the plant,
even to the extent of preventing a
night fireman to enter to keep up
steam in boilers and thereby enable
the firm to comply with fire regula-
tions. Thus far machinists have de-
fed mob interference and they were
working at late hour this after
noon.
The employees stated that there
was general diSSa atisfa elton in the
cable plant because the employers
were held to be making millions of
dollars each year and their average
rate of wage to employees was $40 a
week with long hours. The strikers
are scheduled to hold a mass meet
ing in Columbia hall this afternoon.
