The detection 20 the revolutionistts

excitement in this port. Inc hydra

TOBACCO TIPPLER
TOO ILL TO FIGHT
Drinks Cigarette Tea for
50 Days to Escape
Italian Service.

To subsist on a diet Of tobacco tea
for ffty-nine days as an alternative
20 fighting the Austrians is the story
of William Frank, a grocer. Of 81 Ryer-
son Avenue, Paterson, brought back
with him yesterday from Italy.
Frank sailed for Italy on April IS
20 visit his home and recover mis-
health. He arrived in Genoa on May 3
and went 70 his mothers home, in
Montesni. Three days later he was
summoned before the military court
and told he must serve in the army.
He explained he was forty-one years
old and TOO III 10 fight, but the excuse
was not accepted.
lie says he neither told them he had
been a naturalized American citizen for
twenty-five years nor produced his
papers because that wouldn't have
made any difference 70 the Italian gov
eminent anyway"
When Frank got 20 the training camp
a. Rome he hit upon plan OF soaking
c garettes and cigars IN water and
drinking the mixture. The army sur
geons had no doubt as 10 his being III
then. He was sent 20 a hospital and
for tiftv-nine days-as long as his to-
bGcco held out-the doctors wer.
puzzled over the case. Then when his
last cigarette was gone. he suddenly
recovered, was discharged as cured and
given a ticket back to the training
camp at Rome.
He didn't go. Instead, he says, he
slipped quietly back 20 his mothers
home and hid there until he had grown
a heavy mustache. He bought pair
Of shell-rimmed glasses, a cane and a
new suit and emerged. No one, he
says, recognized him, and for a month
he toured Italy as a sightseer. When
he got 10 Naples his money gave out
but he succeeded in getting job as a
waiter on . boat for Boston.
Frank is unable TO produce his mus
Jache as evidence, as he had 70 shave

Crown Prince Rupprecht

Berlin, Sept. IS delayed The latest
fighting on the Somme evidently has
not shaken the confidence Of the Ger

prevent a breach In their line. The
"Berliner Tageblatts" special war cor
respondent interviewed Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria, commander OF
the German forces on the Somme. Tues

expressed complete confidence. he
maintained the German armies are pre-
pared 70 withstand even greater on
slaughts in the future.
The Crown Prince Is quoted as hav-
ing said that since the offensive began
the Entente Allies had gained some
ground. but there could be 10 thought
Of this decisively changing the sltua-
ton.
at is impossible 70 predict how
things will 90 hereafter said Prince
Rupprecht. But one thing IS certain,
namely. that We have everything so
thoroughly prepared that we are able
20 contemplate the situation with equa-
nimity whatever comes. The offensive
will certainly not reach an early end.
I'VE can reckon upon IN offensive OF
great persistence and with heavy at
tacks, accompanied b. an enormous eN-
penditure Of ammunition. But We have
taken precautions. Our artillery has
been reinforced and likewise our aero
plane corps, and our hlers have mad
fine successes in the last few days, al
though they have had hard sighting
against increased numbers.
"Our artillery derives advantages
from the successful work Of the aero
planes, after having formerly. been
much exposed 70 observation by hostile
avistors.
"Our troops have been striking with
the utmost strength, and the enemy has
found the nut too hard 20 crack. IL IL
my distinct opinion that the enemy IS
trying 70 force decision at this spot
and during this year, and he has not
vet succeeded. He will have 20 put up
with a winter campaign and continue

London, Sept. 2e.-In desperate ef-
forts 20 save Monastir, the Bulgarians
are carrying out series Of violent
counter-attacks which aim 70 prevent
the Serbs and their allies from reas-
suming the offensive in Macedonia.
The newly organized Serbian posi-
tons on the Kaimakcalan ridge, over
tapping their own soil. are bearing the
brunt of the enemy's blows. Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights wit
messed furious attempts by the Bulgars
20 wrest these dominating defences
from the grasp Of King Peters troops.
A rather curious feature Of this
struggle was the limiting of the Bull
garian attacks on each Of the three
evenings to four attempts. Twelve
separate times within three nights the
Serbian guns and bayonets hurled back
the hostile waves that beat against
their intrenchments.
All reports from the front show that
the losses Of the attackers were enor-
nous. while the Serbs themselves paid
dearly 10 retain the positions from
which they are preparing 70 sweep into
Monastir.
Serbs Hold Summit.
"The Serbians still hold the summit

adverse weather conditions, but the
outlook is promising for the Allies.
Hidden Batteries Hinder Allies.
The greatest obstacles the Allied
-roops have 20 face in all the region
south OF Monastir are the concealed
batteries which defend the scores OF
defles character site of Western Mace
donia. Rather than sacrifice their men
wholesale the Allied commanders are
following the more deliberate scheme
Of making these positions untenaole oy
wide fanking movements.
The incessant pressure exerted oy tne
French and British forces on the right
of the Serbs indicates that Sarrail will
play no minor role in the next thrust

dinand's troops will be unable TO shift
their strength 10 bolster up threatened
points.
