RUSSIANS RENEW
STOKHOD ATTACK
Spring Forward Along the
Entire Front After Heavy
BOmbardment

London. Oct. ga general offensive
by the Russians in Volhynia appears
to be under way. As yet. however,
there is no evidence that Brussiloff is
willing to disclose his plan Of attack in
Galicia.
The Russians sprang to the attack
along the entire Stokhod front to-
day, following the heaviest lombard
men to which the Teuton lines have
been subjected for weeks. Berlin and
Vienna report the complete repulse OF
all the enemy's attacks. Observers
here point ont, however. that it is the
policy Of Petrograd to maintain silence
whenever any great movement is under
way. For this reason it is thought that
the Russians may have won successes
not limited at by the enemy.
Brussiloff sent his men against the
enemy's defences at two points where
the success Of any stroke would have
an immediate and important effect.
From the forest district east Of Szelzov
and from a point slightly TO the north
the Russians emerged from their
trenches and rushed at the Teutons.
At several other points. such as Rudka.
Belick and on the Stavok. the Rus
slams carried out raids and reconnais-
sances that presage the extension of
the offensive.

mission; permitting labor TO appeal to
this commission as shipper may ap-
peal in the case of rates, and permit
ting an employe to cease work within
thirty days after decision of the COM

CONSTANTINE AGREES
TO TRANSFER TROOPS
Will Reduce Thessaly Army to
Police Force to Appease Entente

Athens, Oct. 29.-The Greek govern
ment officially made it known to-day
that following the recent visits by
the Entente ministers King Constantine
has undertaken further to dispel En-
tente suspicion by ordering the trans
fer Of the Sd and 4th Army corps from
Thessaly and the 18th Division from
the Epirus tc the Peloponnesus, the
southern Greek peninsula. In both
districts only force sufficient to main
tain order is to be kept. The transfer
is to begin on November 3.
King Constantine previously had re-
fused to make this move, despite in
sistence by the French military at
tache.
Such an evidence Of goodwill on the
part of the sovereign is taken in usu-
ally we'll informed circles here to indi-
cate a not far distant agreement for
the cooperation of Greece with the En-
tente Allies.
The recent report that Prince George
Of Greece, brother Of King Constantine,
was to return to Athens from London,
where he has been for some time rep
resenting the views of the Greek court,
is untrue.

TAKES HUGHES OUT
OF HATTERS' CASE
Oster Says Foes Can Make Moth
ing of Danbury Decision

John E. Oster, one of the Republican
speakers of the 10th Assembly District,
spoke on the Danbury hatters' case
yesterday to an audience at AZ Beacon
Street, Newark, which contained many
hatters. The connection Of Hughes
with the actual decision was so slight
as to render the case of no value to the
candidates political foes, he declared.
Mr.. Oster said that in 1908. while
Hughes was Governor of New York, the
Supreme Court of the United States
decided that if the firm could prove its
allegations concerning union leaders
the union was responsible. The appeal
of 1914 was not taken on the facts, he
continued. but on the right of the court
to hold the union responsible for the
acts of it's leaders.

WIFE MURDERED;
HUSBAND HELD
Slayer Waylaid Woman
Fired at Self and Fled
Pair Lived Apart

A year ago Mrs. Rose Rovner ap-
peared against her husband Benjamin
in the Domestic Relations Court and
told the Judge that he was cruel to her
and that she could not live with him.
She and her two little daughters then
went home to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Marcus Weiss, of 1901 Lexington Ave-
nue.. and Benjamin returned to his,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Rovner, of 222S
Lexington Avenue, under probation
for year.
Since that time the husband has
made several unsuccessful attempts 10
induce his wife to return to him. Last
night, as she and her sister Lillian
were crossing Lexington Avenue. be-
meath the New York Central viaduct,
q man stepped I'D behind her and shot
her through the head. Ihen ne Ireu
two shots at his own head and fed.
Detective Wey pursued the fugitive
and arrested Rovner. When searched
the man had no revolver in his posses
sion. but there were two holes, IKE
those made by bullets, in the ,brim OF
his hat. He denied any knowledge OF
the murder, although the dead woman 9
sister positively identified him as the
man who did the shooting.
The police found upon him che fol-
lowing note: Notify at opce my
father, Jacob Rovner, of 222s Seventh
Avenue. leave all to my father, chill

HAIG AND F0CH
BOTH WIN GROUND
Curtain of Fire SmaSheS
German Attack South
of SOmme

London, Oct. %. -- Both the British
and the French made progress to-day
in their drive against Bapaume along
the Bethune road. Haig's troops
smashed forward into the enemy's
trenches east Of Lesboeufs. The French
advanced in the regions of Sailly-Sail-
lsel and Biachcs. The latter move
brings Foch's lines nearer Peronne on
the west and south. The British and
French strokes in the region of Sally
Saillisel draw the net tighter around
Transloy. That stronghold, on the
Bethune road, is gradually being placed
in a pocket by the advance of the Allied
lines on three sides of it. With it's
fall the greatest remaining obstacle to
the forward movement of the French
and British on the right side of the
Bapaume triangle will have been re-
moved.
South OF the Somme the Germans
delivered a strong blow against Foch's
lines to the east Of Peronne this after
noon. Selecting the positions north
and south of La Maisonnette as the
most vulnerable points in the French
line, they hurled great masses of men
at the French under the cover of liquid
fire. The French guns set up curtain
of fire which the enemy could not pene-
trate, however, and the Germans were
compelled to fall back with heavy
losses.
On the Meuse there was no infantry
activity, although the guns of both
sides kept up an intermittent lombard
ment. The French are expecting a
heavy counter offensive by the Germans
en- the Verdun front soon, but they are
continuing without pause their prepa-
rations for another assault on the last
great enemy defences north of the fort

REICHSTAC ATTACKS
PREVENTIVE ARREST"
Injustices Alleged in Stormy Ses-
siOn-AbrOgation Demanded

Berlin, Oct. % (via London, Oct.
9).-The Reichstag had its stormiest
meeting of the present session to-day,
when the question of abrogating the
so-called preventive arrest on suspicion
came up for discussion.
Deputy william Dittmann, Socialist,
started the trouble with a recital of
hardships and injustces. and Deputy
Karl Haus, Of Alsace, and Deputy
Seyda, a Pole, added fuel by similar
recitals.
DR.. Karl Helferich, Secretary Of the
Interior, in expressing regret that in
justices and evils should have crept
into the system. attempted TO defend it
as an absolute necessity on the ground
that the security Of the state was in
fnitely more important than that Of
the individual. He sharply criticised
Herr Dittmann and his fellows for pub
licly making charges that could be Off
set only after investigation.
Speakers representing the National
Liberal, the Centre, the Socialist and
the Progressive groups denounced the
conditions that had been revealed.
The bill providing for the abolish
ment of the preventive arrest was re-
ferrcd 10 IA commission OF twenty-one
members.
