German Municipal Authorities Make
No Allowances for War.

There is little disposition en- the part
Of the municipal authorities in Germany
to make allowances for the unusual
circumstances due to the war and the
old ''streng verboten' idea seems as
strong as ever, according to reports from
several parts of the empire. Even to the
wives and other female relatives of the
men at the front no favOrs are shown,
and they are fined or imprisoned fer
the slightest violation of more or less
important ordinances. This is evidenced
by the following cases printed by the
Schlesisehe Bergwacht of Waldenburg.

BURLINGTON YEGGMAN CAUGHT
Frank Raymond Captured at Point of
ReyOlve.

BURLINGTON, Nov. l. - One of
the most daring burglaries ever
attempted in Burlington was made at
B. Turk & Brothers store early last
evening by a man who gave his
name as Frank Raymond. Good judg
ment used by S. S. Richold, manager
of the store, and efficient and quick
action by Officer Dennis Brodie, who
worked in the face of the burglar s re-
volvers, resulted in the yeggman S cap
ture while he was in the store, to
which he gained admittance through a
skyight.
The capture of Raymond may be the
solution of two other similar affairs,
an attempt to enter Wiles & Perry S
store some time Friday night or Sat
urday morning and the entering of
John O'Neil S saloon on Battery street
Saturday night, though Raymond
claims to not have arrived in Burling-
ton until early Sunday morning.
Mr.. Richold heard a noise coming
from the sky-light over his private of
fee and discovered a man who was
trying to remove the glass Then he
saw the man s legs come through the
opening. Mr.. Riehold slipped out OF
the front door and notified officers
Dennis Brodie and William Hanley
| Officer Brodie went into the store by
the rear entrance and surprised Ray
mond, who was at the cash drawer
The burglar thrust his revolver in the
policeman s face, but the officer twist
ed the weapon out of Raymond S hane
and placed the man under arrest.

TIE GREAT BATTLE.

From the New York Press:
The allies go on battering In the
Germans defense along their lines
in France and Flanders. That this
colossal onslaught should be able to
continue day after day. with ground
gained against the most desperate
resistance, indicates an indescribable
power in reserve upon which to draw
for such incessant attacks.
That the Germans should be driven
to the utmost that is in them. not TO
win an advance, not to hold their
own, but to keep from being hurled
out OF their rear defenses into dis
aster and rout, is reason enough to
doubt that there is likelihood OF an
immediate Teutonic drive through
Serbia and Bulgaria on the way to
Constantinople, even that there Is a
good chance of prolonged slaughter
OF the Russians.
When the very life Of German
militarism is at stake in tho west
there can be no room for the sweep
of conquest in the East Where the
great battle now wages by the
French and British is whore the
Germans must stand or fall.

COUNTS IN THE INDICTMENT.

T f the Wilson administration had done nothing more
than destroy the protective tariff pass the Panama
Canal tolls exemption repeater, propose seriously the
passage of the niqutous Ship Purchase BILL and
enact into law the LaFollette seamans bill by which
the trade Of the Pacific has been turned over TO the
Japs it would have done enough to damn IL for all
time in the minds Of the American people.
Unfortunately for the administration those are
only few Of the important offenses it has com
mited against the American people and interests
and that will figure counts in the public indictment
Of the national Democracy in 1916.
There is nothing that the Wilson administration can
do between and the next general election that

their country with the Central Powers

cluding all Bulgaria's next-door
neighbors except Turkey. There are
signs that the Cabinet is tottering be-
fore the pressure OF public opinion
for Bulgaria is democracy In which

But even II Ferdinand and the
Cabinet should decide in favor Of a
declaration on the side Of the En-

Bulgaria is concerned, local issues
overshadow the main issue OF Ger

gees in Bulgaria who are clamoring
for a war OF revenge against Serbia
and Greece
On the one hand. Bulgaria faces
the fate OF Belgium If she should at
tempt to resist a possibly victorious
German advance to Constantinople
on the other, she runs the risk OF
calling upon herself the punishment
so distinctly foretold by Sir Edward
Grey If she should join the Germanic
Powers and the Germanic Powers
should be defeated.
