The most interesting appointment Is
that Of MAGISTRATE koenig. II was un-
derstood that the choice of the Repub-
lican county organization was William
Blau. although the county committee
never formally indorsed him. Morris
koenig has for some tirne been an AS
sistant District Attorney at $4,000 a
year. As head Of the political o~rganiza-
ton, Samuel Koenig was for Blau.
otherwise he favored his brother.
The Mayor. aware that the choice
might he criticised. made this state
ment yesterday:
"Mr. koenig was early recommended
strongly for this position. Verbal ana
written recommendations came from
lawyers whose standing and Judgment
are of the highest order. including the
Governor, the District Attorney and the
president Of the Bar Association.
The only fact that could be urged
against him is that he is the brother OF
the chairman OF the county committee
OF the Republican party, and. therefore.
that his appointment might be construed

Sereth the Russians have won a con-
army. The enemy had planned an at
tack on the Russian positions Wednes-
day, and for this purpose they concen-
trated against Tarnopol two German
divisions, including Guards and one
Austrian brigade, supported by large
quantity Of artillery. The Russians
forestnlled them by sudden advance
Tuesday, routed the enemy's army
corps and captured S,000-odd prisoners,
with thirty guns.
The enemy had TO pour out the am
munition he had accumulated for the
attack TO stem the Russian tide of pur-
suit. The Russians then went back to
their positions on the Sereth. On the
lower Sereth, on the confluence with
the Dniester, they captured 1000 more

the Russian army by line from north

Germans succeeded in the south. The

Washington, Sept 9.-While State
Department officials did not care TO
commit themselves at present as TO the
aspect in international law of an attack
by airships on London or any other
such city, it was indicated that if there
was defensive force in the city there
could be no legal objection by neutral
power whose citizens were killed. The
State Departments Interpretation, OF
the law is that the fact that the place
is "defended" is sufficient TO relieve
the attackers from the necessity OF
giving notice before a bombardment.
In the case of London, regardless OF
the question of fortifcations, 1t is
pointed out that there are thousands
