INVENTOR EXHIBITS IMMATURE
THAT HAS LARGE POSSIBILI-
TIES.

Berlin, Sept. 13.-The invention Of a
German engineer, Herr Bohle, which
he demonstrates nightly in large
vaudeville house of Berlin, is attract
ing considerable attention. The in
vention consists of an airship in nina
ture (about 3 meters long and 1 IL
meters in diameter, (which the inven-
tor drives by means of wireless cleo
trio, currents from a battery stationed
afar. No personnel is required to di-
rect this airship, which executes every
manoeure the inventor desires. Ev-
en- explosives can be dropped from this
airship on high at the will Of its mas
ter at his station below.
Expert engineers declare that the
great question is whether this airship
can be constructed on a larger scale
and managed from a greater distance.
1se so, another upheaval in military
warfare might be expected.

tween $4,000 and $4,000, arising
from acquisitions by American forces

REPORTS FROM CONSTANTINE
PIE.

Washinfton,. Oct. 12-Armenian
in Asiatic Turkey have been
renewed with vigor since Bulgaria's
entrance into the war as Turkeys al
ly. This information reached the
state department from Ambassador
Morgenthau, who stated that the ma
jority of Armenians in Asiatic Turkey
had been killed.
Although representations were made
by this government some time ago
warning Turkey that further atrocities
against the Armenians would ALLEVIATE
the sympathies of the American peo-
pie, no answer has been received.
Earlier representations were met
with two concessions promising that
those Armenians who wished to leave
the country would be permitted to dc
so unharmed and further that Pro-
testant Armenians would be spared
Information recently reaching this
country, however, indicates that these
conditions have not been strictly ad'
hered to. From one quarter it was
asserted that "they were recinded the
next day."

MISS CLARK
At THE GRAND

Seven Sisters, the celebrated trans
atlantic comedy success, adapted for
the American stage by Edith Ellis
Furniss, and presented for several sea-
sons at the Lyceum Theatre in New
York by Daniel Froham, tells the
amusing story of the widow Of an ar
my officer in small garrison town in
Hungary, who has seven daughters
ranging from seven to twenty-five.
According to the Hungarian system OF
marriage, the daughters must be wed
! in the order Of their age, and the
younger ones must be kept in the
background until the older ones are
disposed of. Mici, portrayed by Miss
Clark, the fourth in matrimonial ell
gibility, rebels against this system,
! and falls in love with an ardent young
lieutenant. The duty devolves upon
the lieutenant of finding suitors for
the three older girls who stand in the
way of his marriage to Mici. The
three whom he leads unsuspectingly to
their fates are jealously inclined
colonel, a. philandering lieutenant and
a meek young university student. His
conspiracies, however, involve all three
,pairs iii trou1ie, ttcr the young people
show symptoms Of not sclinging to the
sweethearts selected fot them. gin"
ally, the lisntenant's calculations are
completely upset by Mici's eleventh
hour refusal to marry him. How
these sentimental problems are at last
solved is humorously unfolded N the
photoplay.
AS Mici, Marguerite Clark is alto
gether delightful. Her frankness, her
wistfulness, her quaint PHILOSOPHY
and irresistible girlishness, make the
role completely captivating.

ticularly in eastern Galicia. Here

siderable victory.
All accounts of the military observ-
ers testify to the accuracy arl eff
cheney Of the Russian artillery, which
is now demonstrating beyoad doubt to
have recovered from the handicap
caused by shortage of ammunition.
The failure of the Germans to capture
Dvinsk after months of fighting is
characterized in England as evidence
OF the remarkable regeneration of the
Russian forces.
The capture of the town and fort
ress of Semendria, about 25 miles east
of Belgrade as announced by the Ger
man war department., means that both
terminals of thestragetic railroad run
ming through Nish to Sofia and on to
Constantinople, are now in the hands
Of the eramnns.
Belgrade, the other terminal point,
was taken last week. Berlin declairs
this is one of the most important
moves in the Serbian campaign, which
is said to be advancing rapidly with
Teutonic success at all points. Mean
while Bulgarian flank attack on the
Serbians has started the Bulgarian
forces having attacked on the border
at Kniashevatz. A Bulgarian success
in reaching the railroad line about 10
miles to the west would prevent the
main Serbian armies contesting the
Teutonic advance on the north, from

troops sent over the trunk lines from
Saloniki. ..
Russians Hit Telling Blow.
! Petrogard, Oct. 12.-Rerots from
the front indicate that a serious blow
has been delivered to the German for
ces in counter attack along twelve
mile front extending from Gerbiunov-
ka to Lautzessghey, the latter city on
the river Laukes, eight miles south
west of Dvinsl, close to Nova Aler-
andriev, which lies northeastward.
The Germans were compelled to ev-
acuaet this territory. The Russi n
general staff regards this move as a
menace to the disposition Of the Ger
man forces.-Fargo Forum.
