Rise in Common Stock Rivals Most
Sensational Ever Seen on New York
Stock Exchanse-Gan of 269 Points
in Years Time.

New York, Aug. 5.-Common stock OF
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
whose rise has seen few parallels In
the history of the stock exchange, pass
ed the 800 mark today. II sold during
the morning at SOL, gain since the
beginning OF the war Of 2G9 points. The
company was Incorporated in 1914. and
the stock has never paid a dividend.
The rise today WAS three points above
the previous high level When the
stock exchange closed on July 30. 1914,
just before the outbreak of the war,
1t was quoted at 80.
It has been known In a general way
that the company had received huge
war orders on which the profits are
presumably large. Many stocks have
been lifted from chscarity to sudden
popularity at rising prices by similar
reports OF profits on the business OF
supplying war munitions to Europe.

helping make o complete check ana
proof. The final and absolute check
shows that the actual amount taken by
the robber was $20,07o. Step by step
he went over all the details Of the rob-
berry with Cashier Ferman and Detec-
tive Tobie. He said that once when
the revolver held by the robber was
pointed at his head. he looked thru the
grating in front Of the teller's cage and
saw the janitor E. r. Hollenbeck,
working up in the front part of the
bank
why didn't you cry out asked
the detective, and Mr.. Perrin replied
that he did not deem it wise nor ex-
pedient to shout into the muzzle of the
gun in front of his face.
What Gun Will Do.
"One never knows what he would do
in case OF this kind" said Detective
Tobie. Il remember a case whore

armed with 'gats.' were playing poker.
when two daredevils jumped in with
their guns and ordered them to put up
their hands. And every mothers son
of those twenty-six put up his hands

stuck up
Followed Him In?
Mr.. Tobie demonstrated that man
might have gained access to the bank
without hiding In the basement all
night. The door at the Third street
entrance has q pneumatic door check
and spring lock. 1t closes automati-
cally, but slowly. A man walking thru
it hastily and swinging 1t well open
as most of the employees of the bank
are in the habit of doing, would be into
tho passage back of the teller's cages
before the door had closed. There
would be plenty of time for another
man to follow before the door closed
and he would not have to keep SO very
close to the first man thru, either.
Unable to Call Out.
When the robber had made his get
away Mr.. Perrin was so unnerved by
the strain that he was unable to call
out an alarm. One of the employees Of
the bank walked past the open doors
OF the vault and Leo could not call out
loud enough to make himself heard.

first thought It was joke. But he
quickly realized the truth and leaving

to the robbea who was supposed to be

but was unable to do SO because the

Thorn in Russian Flesh.

From the beginning Of the war the
salient in the Russian line formed by
the band necessary to include Warsaw
and large portion Of Poland had
been thorn in the flesh Of the Rus
sian military authorities. They showed
this by their desperate and at times
partially successful attempts to
straighten their front. Before they
could force the advance Of the center
the wings must be brought UP so as
to prevent successful thanking move
ments.
simultaneously In EaSt Prussia on
the north and in Gahcta on tho south.
the Russian armies began to push for
ward Twice in East Prussia they
were swept back. but before last win
ter set in they had succeeded in press
ing hru Galicia and were nearing Cra-
cow. which is almost directly on line
south Of the Polish capital.
Conditions Reversed.
In the spring, however, after Prs
mysl had fallen into their hands and
the victorious Russian armies were
threatening the German border and an
invasion OF Hungary, came the organ
lied German Austrian movement,
which recaptured the great Austrian
fortress, and swept the Russians back
in the east. The Warsaw salient, thus
exposed hazardously from the south.
was additionally threatened by the
German advance in the Baltic pro-
vinces, which acted not only as a sup
porting movement to the flank attack
on Warsaw but threatened to cut of
the retreat of the Russian armies
First and Second Drives Fail.
The first determined drive against
Warsaw from the west occurred last
October. Within short time the Ger
man advance guards penetrated to
within nineteen miles Of the city, over
which German Zeppelins and airships
flew.
Shortly afterward second attempt
was launched and gathered force until
a great battle was fought along the
Vistula river. The Germans at first
were reported successful, but the fight
ing turned in favor Of the Russians.
Another attempt at Warsaw occurred
In February after the Russians had
for the second time been driven out Of
East Prussia. This time the attack
was from the north and Przasnysz was
captured with 10000 prisoners. on Feb.
25. Three days later. however. the
Russians recaptred it and put the
Germans on the defensive. Hammer
ing along this line and at other sec
tions continued for months, but not
until the inception Of the present cam
patgn was there any serious break In
the Russian defenses.
The city which the Telttonic forces
have taken lies on the vistula, 625
miles southwest of Petrograd, and $40
miles east of Berlin. It Is an Import
ant industrial center and its popula-
tton Is estimated at 100000.
