on Monday. Total sales for the day
amounted to 1,666,S00 shares, compared
with more than l,i64,2OO the previous
day.
Baldwin, which sold at hardly more
than 81 about week ago, touched 1908
during the last hour, and few minutes
later dropped to 1913, finally closing
at 1913, an advance of 14A points over
Mondays last sale and nearly 90 points
above the price of a week ago. At ITS
high price the stock showed gain or
more than 10 points in a week. Floor
traders attributed the wild rise TO 100
and the equally violent reaction TO a
rush to cover by interests who had
gone short of the stock.
The movements in Baldwin had an
unsettling effect on the rest Of the list,
and the setback in the last hour caused
violent reactions in other war special
ties. Before the close an upward swing
got under way again, and by o'clock
the previous losses in some issues had
been made up. In others, however,

to account for the spectacular rise was
that insiders who had sold out at lower

belief that substantial benefits will

featuring Company.
While the war specialties were soar

AMERICAN PROCTOR
DIED A FRENCH HERO
Lieut.. Leguy, of Johns Hopkins,
Killed In Courageous Charge
Against German Trench.
tBy Telegraph to TIE Tribune. ]


Baltimore, Sept. 2s.--Dr. Edward G.
Armstrong. head Of the French depart
ment Of Johns Hopkins University, has
just received word Of the death Of
Lieutenant DR.. Raymond Leguy, who
was an instructor at the university
when war was declared and who left
Immediately for the front.
On account of his courageous death
Lieutenant Leguy has ben honored
with an official commentator in the
French army report. The following &C
count of his death was furnished by
members of his regiment:
"Li3utenant Leguy was chosen to
lead a squad in a dangerous attack. He
planned the attack with admirable
calm, himself placing sacks Of sand
against the wall Of the trench to serve
as steps by which the soldiers could
more quickly issue from it.
when the signal for the charge was
given our lines were being swept by
cannon and machine gun fire. and 1t
seemed certain death to show your
head above the parapet. Lieutenant Le-
guy climbed to the slope and calmly
left the tr-ch, with drawn sabre
Stimulated by his example, his men fol
lowed him unhesitatingly, and all dis
appeared in a cloud Of smoke.
"A single soldier returned a few
moments later, falling senseless into
the trench. Lieutenant Leguy followed
and called for twenty volunteers to re
new the effort. They responded a
once, and he started off In the lead
shouting: Forward, boys, for the sak'
of Francel' r'"
"The storm Of balls moved down thu
second squad as It had the first. Lieu
tenant Leguy and two or three soldier:
only reached the German trench. lie
fired his revolver, while the men threw
bombs, but after a short struggle ne
was struck by a fragment of shell and
fell. MORALLY wounded. He still had
the strength to drag himcelf back 70
his trench, and, having informed his
captain of his belief that the Germans
were about TO attack US, he cried W e
Ia Francer and breathed his last"

Efforts to Distract Rus

GOOD TRENCH WORK
NEUTRALIZES LOSS
Munitions Now Reaching Cars
Armies In Adequate Quantities
Germans Report Advances.

Petrograd, Sept 2s.-The Russians
have made gains over an extent which
ordinarily would be regarded as con-
siderable, but they are not allowing
their attention TO be distracted from
Dvinsk, which the Germans continue to
attack with energy.
Small German gains in the last
fighting were neutralized by splendid
trench work during the night follow
ing, by which the Russians were able
to face their adversaries in the morn
ing with strong front. The numbers
Of dead on the field attested the seri-
business Of the German losses.
The German operations in the direc-
ton of Riga are regarded here as
demonstrations intended to interfere
with the reinforcement of the Russian
positions at Dvinsk with troops from
the Riga region.
Mackensen Hid In Marshes.
Except for Field Marshal Won Mac
kensen, who Is held in the Prlpet
marshes, all the German generals re-
port advances Even General Won Ling
singer, whose army was rather roughly
handled by the Russians in Nolhynla,
having, with the aid Of strong rein
forcements, been able to take the mi
tiative again. In addition TO recaptur-
ing Lutsk he has crossed the Styr River
below that fortress.
In Galicia the Russian General
Ivanoff is still holding the Austrlans
back and is himself gaining ground.
The general impression created by
the latest reports Is that the Russians
are fighting brilliantly, steadily and
confidently, and that ammunition Is
now being delivered in adequate guam
titles, while the Germans apparently
lack the force to execute their sweep
ing plans. The authorities here direct
attention to certain details in the re-
ports as indicating that the German
efforts are becoming spasmodlc.

day says:

BY GORDON GORDON-sMITH.

Rome, Sept 10.-The one topic Of
conversation and speculation in politi-
cal circles in Rome is the attitude and
policy OF Bulgaria. No one can ignore
the important role which Bulgaria
plays at the present moment in the
Balkans II the Sofia government de-
cides TO throw in It's lot with the
Quadruplce and march its army on
Constantinople, the Turkish capital,
taken between the Allied armies on the
Gallipoli Peninsula, n Bulgarian attack
at Tchatalja and Russian attack
from the sea, will certainly be captured
within a few weeks Of the first move
ment.
II, however. Bulgaria betrays the
Quadruplce and joins forces with the
Central Powers, the position Of Serbia
will be critical in the extreme. Az
tackled in front by the Austro-German
armies and In the rear by the BulRar-
ians, the unfortunate little kingdoms
fate will probably be sealed. Once in
possession Of Serbia and with Bulgaria
as an ally IL would be possible for the
Central Powers to rush hundred
thousand men or more TO CONSTANT
nople and, as there would then be d.
rect railway communication between
Berlin and the Turkish capital. Germany
could send munitions and war material
in unlimited quantities. Under such
circumstances the whole result of the
DardaAeles expedition would be Jeop-
ardized and the opening of the Straits
would be further off than ever.
In view of this the Quadrupllce has
left no stone unturned to enlist Bull
garia in its cause, and has approached
Serbia. Greece and Rumania with a
view of inducing these states to make
such territorial concessions to Bull
garia as will cause her to take sides
with the Allies.
Greece Distrusts Bulgaria
Il would. however, be idle 10 deny
that the proposals of the Quadrupl ice
have been far from well received by
the Balkan States and have created not
a little bitterness. | have, in the last
few days, had occasion to discuss the
Balkan situation with statesmen ana
diplomatists who know it well, and IN
every case Except, naturally, Bulga-
rians) they were unanimous in con-
demning the action of the Quadrupllce.
Neither Greeks nor Serbans have for.
gotten or forgiven what they regard
as the perfdious attack by Bulgaria IN
1913. they have complete and utter
distrust Of Bulgaria, and are convinced
that it is her ambition to make herself
the preponderant state in the Balkan
peninsula.
The opposition of the Greeks to the
surrender of Kavala, Drama and Heres
is extreme. These are, they argue,
purely Greek towns. The only reason
for their demands that the Bulgarans
can put forward is that they want
them, and want them badly. But TINS,
not unnaturally. seems an insufficient
reason TO the Greeks. Bulgaria, they
argue. already possesses a seaport IN
Dedeaehatch The Bulgarians com
plain It is a poor harbor; the Greeks
replv that this is their own fault, as
thew have done nothing to improve It.
The dream of Bulgaria with an out
let on four seas, so popular in SOMA
excites nothing but distrust IN the
other states. IL
The opposition Of Serbia is equally
strong. The proposal that she cede ter
