Owing to the confusion of ideas rel atlve to the reports of the weather bureau, published in the Nugget, it is explained that the temperature record ed represents the general average for the preceding twenty -four hours and not the minimum, as many suppose. AS will be readily understood, much lower temperatures are recorded than are diaclosed In the report but the mean average only Is given. This morning, for instance, the thermometer showed a temperature of 26 below zero at a. m, which Is the coldest so far recorded, this year. At 8 a. m. four hours later 1t had dropped eight de- grees. standing at IS below. The rec ord, however, will not disclose this low figure when published tomorrow as only the average is given.

advice to Johnny Ertle, the st. Paul
midget, and tie men back Of him.
After watching Ertle perform at
local gymnasium Coulon declared he
was the -best-looking bantam he had
ever laid eyes on.
But John added that the chief
danger to the youngsters success lay
in oVermatehing. His hackers, too
ambitious for their comparatively in
experienced protege, may send him
after the really top-notehers Of the
game. before he is ready.
Overwhelming has spoiled many
good fighter. Right in EFtle's own
class the case Of Eddie Campi can be
cited. This boy was a sensation on
the coast, but he couldn't wait for
fame, and tried to force it his way.
Result, defeat after defeat from the
first fight, and he never recovered
from the severe beatings handed him.
They slapped his confidence.
Ertie is less than 10 years old. He
is well within the bantam limit, and
can wait some while before tackling
such big game as Kid Williams, the
champion. Williams, it is generally
reported, is getting too heavy for the
weight, and, in the natural course Of
events, Ertle can claim the title and
then prove his right to it when VIII
liams is forced into higher elassii-
cation.
A decisive whipping now would be
disastrous for the St. Paul lad. His
physical development would not be
retarded, but what the war CORE
spondents are pleased to term his
morale would get some severe jolts.
Take away fighters confidence, and
he might as well go to work.
Ertle is matched with Ruby Hirsch
for Monday night in Kenosha, and
should win. Fights with men Of the
Hirsch caliber win give him plenty
of confidence, and at the same time i

ERE CALMLY WAITS
 FOR LIFE OR DEATH
E'inancicr is Conscious and Free From Pain--Fate Hangs on Amount
 Of Poison Absorbed.

New York, Sept. 16.-Newman Erb, wealthy financier, and railroad reor- ganize, who swallowed two poison tablets by mistake, is today confined to his summer home at Deal N. J. calmly awaiting the outcome or the efforts being made by three specialists to save his life. He spent a comfort able night, is virtually free from pain and entirely conscious.
 The physicians hope that the prompt rejection of the poison by the stomach and the first aid ren- dered by MT. Erbs valet prevented all but a small amount of the poison from entering the financier's system.
 Whether this has been the case, the physicians In attendance have told MT. Erb and his family may not be deterlninable, for four or five days.
 MT. Erb's family today explained how he came to take the poison. He was returning to Deal from New York having spent the previous day and night in Philadelphia. In his trav- cling bag he carried a bottle of headache tablets and another con- taining ta>sets which hy used in making a wash for an injured foot. MT. Erb had headache when he boarded the train and took two tab lets from one of the bottles. A short time later he was taken i'll. The con- ductor sent a message to MT. Erb's home, and his valet met him at the station.
 Because of his prominence in the railroad and financial world MT. Erb's case is attracting much atten- ton.

Dvinslx and Wilma Thanked.

Petrograd. Sept. 16, Via. London, 2:49 D. m.-A1though both Dvinsk and Wilma have been flanked and are being hard pressed by the Germans, the Russians are still holding these positions and, according to war office advces, there is no immediate need for their abandonment. Dvinsk is re- .garded as the stronger position, be- 4ca use of it's protection by the Dvina river. Neither point has further strategic importance except as a sec- ton of the general front, each having been enptied of stores and abandoned by government and private institu- tions.
 Russian successes in the vicinity of . Tarnopol, in Galicia, are causing 1,ation in army circles and among the people generally; but it is pointed out 4 that they will not operate to betray the army into pushing incautiously into the Teutonic lines.

.RUMANIA EXPECTED
 TO ENTER WAR SOON
Balkan States Excepting Bul-
 garia Will Fight With the Allies.

London, Sept. 16., 10:3O a. m-A Copenhagen despatch to the Elk change Telegraph company says Ger man newspapers were permitted yes- terday to publish sensational tele- grams intimating that Rumania's par ticipation in the war may be expected at any minute. aG
 The massing of German and Aus trian troops on the Rumanian from tier has resulted in the Balkan nation making preparations for eventualities. A large part of her army already has been mobilized and reservists in other countries have been ordered home.
 A steadfast refusal of Rumania to permit the transportation through her territory by Germany of military supplies for Turkey is supposed to have aroused the animosity of the central empires.
 Recent advices from Rome were to the effect that negotiations were un- der way for the formation of a new Balkan league to be composed of Ru- mania, Serbia and Greece. Bulgaria, it was said, was not included in the negotiations because of her agree ment with Turkey by which she will obtain possession of territory along the Dedeaghatch Railway. Montene- gro probably would act in accord with the other three powers as she already is arrayed on the side of the allies in the war.
