RUSSIAN NIHILIST SURRENDERS TO NEW
 YORK OFFICIALS

New York. September 27-Mieroslap sjczynski a Russian fugitive from jus tice. who assassinated Count Andreas Botocki. governor of Galicia, in 1908. and escaped from prison after his conviction. surrendered himself today to F. c. Howe. emigration commissioner at Ellis Island Sjczynski has been nthe United States several months.
 Until today his identity was not suspected. Sjczynski requested an ad- judication of his status in this country that he might apply for citizenship. His case was adjourned and he was paroled in custody of his counsel
 The shooting of Count Botocki is said to have grown out of political strife be- tween the Polish aristocracy and the Ruthenian peasantry.
 Sjczynski, a student. killed the count While the governor was granting an audi ence to Ruthenian students. The assas- sin did not resist arrest. Sjczynski s brother, who had been informed of the plan to kill the governor committed sui eide short time before the murder.
 The assassination caused a sensation. Many Ruthenians were arrested, but no one besides Sjczynski was implicated.
 After two trials Sjczynski was con- demned to death, but Emperor Francis Joseph commuted the sentence to 20 years Imprisonment. In November, 1911, Sjczyn- ski escaped from prison and made his way to Sweden. Al the outbreak of the pres ent war he went to Austria as a corre- spondent for a NoiSegian paper. but his was not discovered. Eight months ago he came to America.

GERMAN STAFF NOT SURPRISED AT FRANCO
 BRITISH OFFENSIVE

Berlin, September 27.-(By wireless to Sayville.) 1.-The German general staff was not surprised by the new Franco British offensive. says the Lokal An zeiger, although on this occasion it was not announced in advance.
 ''The brave German troops withstood the onslaught" the newspaper con tinues, and will hold out until the enemy has been driven back. The Ger man iron wall is unshakable and in- surmountable.
 Tt Is possible that the new move : ment was inspired more by political than by military reasons, in the desire to influence Balkan states, particular fy Greece and Roumania, and to awe Bulgaria. Germany quietly awaits the issue"
 In a review of the political and mili- tary situation the Voissische Zeitung says:
 All the hopes and expectations of the quadruple entente have been wrecked verywhere-north, south, east and west. A year ago President Poincare of France said that the French were marching upon Berlin. Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia was described as leading the Russian steam roller in the to see Gurkhas at Potsdam. The Brit ish admira1s were to wipe the German fleet out of existence. A glance at the war maps is sufficient to show what really has been achieved"
