London, Oct. 22.-In face of the
continued violent attacks by Teutonic
allies in Dabrudje from the Danube
to the Black Sea, the Roumanians
4d Russians are still retreating.
The combined Austrian, German,
Bulgarian and Turkish forces have
taken two towns IL miles west of
Rochova on the Danube and are pur-
suing the Roumanians and Russians,
according to German report.
Hard fighting continues in noun
tain passes on Transylvanian front
but with the result in doubt, owing
to conflicting statements of the vari-
Gus war offices. Ii is evident, how
ever, that no great changes occurred.
Germany announces important vic
tory for Augtro-Germans against
Russians along Narayuvks river in
Galicia, but Russia claims that the
lighting continues.
Twice Sunday the Germans launch
ed violent attacks against newly won
French positions south of Somme
river in France. The French an
nounce that the Germans lost heavily
IN both attacks and were repulsed.
Germany admits that the British
made rains Saturday north of Somme
but asserts that it was reckless
sacrifice Of human lives" Germany
also announces the recapture Satur-
day from the French of several
trenches south of Somme.
Notwithstanding the bad weather
on Macedonian front Entente allies
made light additional progress in the
region of river Cerna. Heavy rains
and snow falls are impeding opera
lions on Austro-Italian front and a

Germans out of region trench adds
that the gunners, who in August
stripped to the waist for action, now
warm their hands on heated gun bar
rels while soldiers are beginning to
welcome the task of trench digging
which keeps them warm.

COLD WEATHER CAUSES
NUMBER OF FIRES

As had been forecast, the cold snap
has had the effect Of bringing on the
usual crop of fires, caused chiefly,
the firemen assert, by inattention to
chimneys on the part of owners or
occupants of houses. A little atten-
ton to the condition of fiues, it is
claimed, will lessen the fire danger,
from the very fact that great many
fires have their origin through burn
ing SCOT.
The calls for Sunday were as fol-
lows:
At SIS a. m. No. 513 North Reus
street; slight roof damage.
At OH a. m. No. 71S North E
street; slight roof damage.
At HOS a. m. No. 315 East Gads-
den street; slight damage roof.
At 2:10 p. m. No. 2o2 East Gregory

1t wasn't "Central's" fault.
There were just more who wanted
to phone, than there were phones
to go around.
So some of them had to wait,
and while they were waiting, The

decided not to phone at all, for it

but as there were only two lines,
it took more than three hours foI

.F|REWORK STO
BE FEA I URE
Program for Tuesday and
Thursday Nights Pre-
pared for Fair.

The display of fireworks at the fair
this year is probably the most elab-
crate ever assembled in Pensacola,
and is expected to attract unusual at
tention on Tuesday and Thursday
nights. The execution of the designs
has been placed under the supervision
of an expert, and with the lighting
effects which are scheduled the ex-
hibition will no doubt prove one of
the most popular features of the fair.
The special program of pyrotech-
MICS arranged by the Newton Com
pany, and finally adopted by the fair
committee is as follows:
Aerial salutes, inch maroons,
breaking high in air, announcing the
opening of the display. Illumination
of the surroundings, with powerful
colored lights; a starry canopy, feat
ured by discharge of shells with gold
and comet stars.
The fourth number of the program,
is considered especially good, being
a "Pyrotechnical Cherry Tree" on
which the foliage and fruit is made
of vari-colored fire. A serpent effect
is produced in the fifth device caused
by the discharge of inch serpent
shell, which shrieks across the sky,
amid burst of flame.
Unique among devices, the sixth
combines color with sound feature,
while the seventh is a flower garden,
of roses, violets, and pansies. A
plain effect is gained in the eighth
by streamers of golden fire, while the
ninth number is an aerial contortion-
list, the greater part of which takes
place on the ground.
The program on Thursday viii be
entirely different from that of tomor-
row night, and is composed of about
the same number Of devices.

Wounded in Capturing
DIR. Adler.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Vienna, October 22.-The assassin
alton of the Austrian premier, Count
Karl Stuergkh, was purely political
and was induced by his refusal to con-
vene parliament, according to an adj
mission of DIR. Frederick Adler, his
assailant, shortly after his arrest.
DR.. Adler is an eccentric and super
radical socialist, some time known as
"The Licbknecht of Austria" He is
editor of Der Knappf
DIR. Adler shot the premier in a
hotel dining room shortly after noon,
when the premier was dining with
Baron Aehrenthal, Count Teggen-
burg, who is governor of Tyrol, and
Herr Jacobson, prominent Vienna
musician.
DIR. Adler, seated near by, sud-
denly fired three shots, two striking
the premier in the head. Baron
Aehrenthal and waiter grabbed Or.
Adler. The baron was shot in the
foot and the waiter receivedw super
fetal wounds from Adler before
Austrian and German officers over
came him.
DIR Adler was the calmest man N
the room as soon as he saw himself
powerless, and at first refused to ex-
plain his motive.
He is thirty-two years old and son
of DIR. Victor Adler, socialist of
mild type.
By a strange coincidence Victor
Adler was speaking in Reichstag in
1911 when Stuergkh YVES shot at six
times, but not injured, by the Da.-
matian socialist, Vakusch.

The Fair opens today.
Hundreds tried to get in yesterday
they just couldn't wait until this
morning-so they crowded into
street cars and automobiles and went
out; but unless they were exhibitors,
or could climb the fence or squeeze
through a knot hole, they had to
content themselves with standing at
the gate and looking in, and Ike the,
boy who saw only the elephants
track at the circus, they stated their
souls on watching the erection of
the big merry-go-round near the
gate, and listening to the drone of
the motorcycles being tested out on
the track.
Grounds in Fine Shape.
The debris is being all cleared up,
and the Meyerhoff shows, travelling
in special, should arrive in time
to have everything ready for the
opening today.
Hundreds of People.
Hundreds of exhibitors and their
friends (and the small boys who
skinned over the fence) gave the
grounds quite a lively appearance
yesterday. Dozens of workmen were
working feverishly erecting build
ings, and laying out exhibits. Up
toward the upper end of the Midway,
the fortune teller's tent was up and
the fortune teller herself was seated
in the doorway, playing with three
or four of her children. Today she
will look like a ravishing. mysterious,
Hindu princess; but yesterday she
was just happy mother.
Fine Exhibits
A little further on the finishing
touches were being put to Lewis
Bears and the West Florida Grocery
Company's buildings, the exhibits in
which are among the finest ever
seen.
Directly facing the midway is the
woman's building, in charge Of Miss
Fanny Caldwell. Did you ever see
a beehive? A beehive in which there
is little excitement going on7 That
describes it.
AS one of the ladies expressed it,
Everybody waits until the last min
ute to get the exhibit in,s and there
are thousands of exhibits here. If
Miss Caldwell and her assistants
have time to breathe they are lucky.
They probably take turns.
And the fancy work and the jellies
and the butter and the cake and the
candy and the pies-a million times
better than mother used to make
you had better see for yourself.
