GERMANS LOSING
 GALICIAN GROUND

Lonaopb Oct 2.-Russia is not only holding her own along the entire eastern front, but at some points, notably in Galcia the czar's armies have assumed the offensive and are delivering heavy blows at the invad- CTS.
 These. according to the German .ac- counts, have been rGpulsed, but it is cvide mt that Russia has been for the time ait least, relieved of the pressure to which she has been subjected for the past six months.
 This is due to two important causes First, tho withdrawal of large German forces to meet the al- lies in the west Second, the with drawal of a streng contingent of Teu- tons in the yoncerted attempt to sweep through Serbia to the Dar- danelles.
 Whatever the. cause, the German advance in Russia has come practi- cally to standstill. Even the Ber- lin official statement makes no claim to progress. except by General ven Linsingen, and he is making pro. gross slowly. Military critics here believe it is possible the Germans may be preparing for some new great stroke, having failed to capture Dvinsk or reach Minsk. but the great concrete fact is that Russia. for the moment, has halted Germany.
 Germany Attempts to Cross Danube.
 Germany has already opened sep- arate attack against Serbia, accord- ing to reports from the Balkans to- night. An attempt to cross the Dan- ube near Semendria, the terminal point on one of the principal Serbian railroads, is said to have failed com pletcly.
 It is believed that in view of the threatening attitude of Bulgaria, allied troops already are on their way to Macedonia to cooperate with the Serbs agans Germany. Austria or Bull garia. The entrance of Greece into

London. Oct. 2-Threc great arnl- ies. German, Austrian and Bulgarian, are closing in on Serbia. ready for a combined and simultaneous smash and drive through the Balkans to Cons1antinCple.

 All three await the signal for the invasion of Serbia, and that signal, according to dispatches received to- day from Nish, will be received with in two weeks.
 The massing of the three armies for the attack was discovered by Anglo French aviators, who have been sent as one contingent of the armed relief which the allies are sending to Serbia in her extremity
 Great masses of Germans were seen between the Save and the Drina rivers, and others, regiment after regiment, were espied pouring into the Hungarian district at Banahi.
 Austria will send an ultimatum to Roumania, demanding the free pas sage of munitions for Turkey, ac- cording to a Cologne dispatch. The ultimatum, it is said. will be couched in friendly terms and will name an interval in which Roumania may re- ply.

EXPECT ARREST
IN MYSTERY Of
P|TT|NGER DEATH
Assertions by Servants and
Other indications Point to
Murder, Not Suicide.

ASBURY PARK, July 21-An ar
rest which 1t is thought will clear up
the mysterious death of William E.
Pittinger. the wealthy retired drug
gist of Asbury Park, is expected TO
be made here within the next twenty
four hours.
Late last night FIVE aff1davits. three
Of which 1t is said are of a highly in
eliminating nature, were turned over
to Charles 70. Sexton, the prosecutor
of Monmouth county, by Police Chief
William FL. Smith. All OF these affi-
davlts were procured BY Detective
Sergeant Thomas Broderick and City
Detective Walsh Three of them were
made by servants in houses adjoining
that of the deceased druggist, the
fourth was made by the undertaken
and the fifth by the sergeant arms
of the District Court.
As told exclusively in the columns
of the Newark Evening Star. the body
of Mr. Pittinger was found in his
home, corner of Grand and Lake ave-
nues, late in the afternoon of Tues
day, July 13, a victim of asphyxiation.
At first 1t was thought that he had
committed suicide by reason, so 1t
was asserted, of melancholy, superin-
duced by reverses which he met in
Wall street speculations The dis
covery, however, that his fingers had
been stripped of a large diamond ring
and large insignia ring together
with the fact that his pockets con-
tanned only $1.80. when it was known
that he always carried a large sum
of money about his person, coupled
with the outspoken assertions of three
servants in adjoining houses. led the
police authorities to make a careful
investigation of all the circumstances
surrounding his death.

JEWELRY
STORE IS
ROBBED
Desperate Raid on West
Park Street Window
Today.
ROPE FIXED ON DOOR
BALKS STORE CLERKS
Confederate Smashes Window
With HatChet-Dashes Off
With Gems.

One OF the most daring robberies
in the history of the city took place
this afternoon when three men sue
cessfully raided the front window of
the retail iewelry store of the Norman
Company, at IL West Park street 1t
was reported that one of the pair
got away with a diamond necklace
and some other articles valued at
$500.
The scene of the robbery is a few
doors from the iewelry store Of
Charles Hartdegen, at Broad and
West Park streets, in the very heart
of the shopping center of the city.
Hundreds Of people were passing
along Broad street but West Park
street, being a side thoroughfore, was
almost deserted.
The robbery was particularly bold
one. and as described by spectators,
happened about 2:30 o'clock. One man,
standing at West Park and Halsey
streets. acted as lookout. Another,
and apparently the leader Of the gang,
walked east on West Park street to
the door of the iewelry store, which
was standing ajar.
The third member of the gang fol-
lowed along from Halsey street, tim
ing his steps to arrive at the middle
of the plate glass window Just as the
leader of the gang pulled the door
shut This man had a new Ratchet,
wrapped In paper, under his arm, and
as he door closed he threw the
hatchet through the window.
Four clerks were inside the store
when tire man at the door quietly ard
quickly tied stout bit of cord around
the handle The robber then pulled
the door shut with bang He hold
the loose end of the cord in his hands.
AS he pulled the door twoard him he
turned his back TO 1t and stood in
such a way that no part of his face
could be seen by the startled clerks.
The clerks backed to the door only
to find it held too firmly for them to
pull 1t open.
