noon in county court to hear the case of
Carl S. Hopkins, trustee appellant, against

RUSSIANS COUNTER
GERMAN ATTACKS
Check Attempt to Assume Offensive in GaIica and
InhCt Another Reverse Events Indicate the
Near Approach of important Engagements in the
Wilma Region

LONDON, Sept. -. - While Field

Germans have made large captures of

EuaJiaus nrc a-aiu countering these eff

tempt of the Austrians to resume the
offensive in Galicia, but by intlicting
mother reverse on the Austro-German
forces in the same vicinity.
Where the German cavalry cut the
railroad halfway between Wilma and
Dvinsk, 400 miles from Pctrograd, the
Russians assert that the Germans have
formed a dangerous salient in their
line of which their opponents are like
ly to take advantage.
II is clear that whatever strategic
move may be involved in this advance
that recent events Indicate the near
approach of the important engagements
in the Wilma region which were pre-
dietcd a fortnight ago by the Russian
minister of war.
Further along the line the German
armies operating on both banks of the
Niemen have not yet formed a june
tion and the Russian rear guards are
still withdrawing eastward.
Russian military writers are warn
ing the people not to expect too great
developments from the Galician often
sive movements.

today is to be turned from the absorb
ing topic of conscription TO the votini

Instead of being cleared up, the mystery
the disappearance of Robert
White, the Hinsdale man who left Clare
mont Aug. 81 for Hinsdale after his fam
ily, having shipped his household goods to
Claremont, is mora profound than ever
As stated in The Reformer Monday af-
ternoon, a man giving his name as NJ. J.
Ryan and telephoning from Springfield,
Mass, said he picked White up in Vernon
the night of Aug 81 and carried him to
Springfield in his automobile and later
sent him to construction camp in South
Carolina the man being unable to tell
anything about himself and saying he
wanted work
When the information was sent to Mrs
White, who IS staying in the home of her
father, Fred II. Cove, in this city, her
brother, Joseph, went to Hinsdale and
after getting what information he could
there he telegraphed to South Carolina.
News came back that no construction
camp such as the telegram mentioned was
known there. The case again took on a
puzzling aspect and City Marshal Phil
brick of this city got interested. He sent
a telegram to the Macabe Construction
company Of New York city, which Ryan
said he represented, and at 115 o'clock
th18 afternoon he received telegram
from the company saying that they had no
representatives and that they did not know
either Ryan or White.
Who is Ryan and what does he know
about White are questions which now
arise. He said White apparently was hit
by an automobile. Who hit him? Ryan
gave an accurate description of White and
said White mentioned the names "Hns-
dale" and Bessie" the latter being his
wife's name He said he cared for White

WHAT NEURASTHEAIA IS

Neurasthenia is condition oil exhaus-
ton OF the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, without proper vacation periods,
without proper attention TO diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggle for
success, are the most common causes.
Excesses OF almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also viii q
severe shock, intense anxiety or grlei.
The symptoms are over-sensitiyeness,
irritability, disposition TO worry over
trifles, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one oinutritlon OF the
nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
