POLICE ON THE JOB ALSO

He had listened with rapt attention

when I was a boy'-the yarn about
tfck-tacks on windows of the homes of
scary old maids; of mysterious disap-
pearances of gates, front steps, tree
boxes and other insecurity attached
real estate improvements: of bonfires
that glared out suddenly from spots
where bonfires hadn't any real BUSH
ness to be and that consumed in their
burning heaps of mysteriously garner
ed fuel carried through alleys and
across the commons from many an OBJ
scure and remote back yard.
He treasured up the yarns IN ms
boyish mind: then. one evening. with
his gang he explored the alleys and
back yards and areaways of his nelgh-
borhood He saw the neat iron FENCES
and their iron gates securely boited IN
place He found no loose boxes other
than the galvanized iron garbage
cans. Front stoops, and those at the
back, as well, were mostly of concrete,
and therefore not at all inflamma5le.
Somehow he couldn't ind any OF the
plank gutter crossings Dad mad
spoken of-they seemed to have gone
out of style. And even the tree boxes
were built of nice, hard, crinkly wire

Green Mon Caused Accidents.

New York, Sept. 1S.-Green motor
men used as strikebreakers on lines of
the New York railways companies
figured in two collisions of street cars
today. In each instance one passen-
ger was badly hurt and many others
were slightly bruised or cut by flying
glass.
Mrs. Irene Carter, age 33, Mount
Vernon, N. Y, sustained a broken
shoulder and probable internal injur.
les when car in charge of Motorman
George Kelly became unmanageable in
the Bronx and crashed into another
ear standing at the foot of the hill
waiting to take on passengers. Kelly
was arrested on an assault charge.
The vestibules of both ears were
wrecked, but Mrs. Carter was the only
passenger requiring attention at hos
pital. Kelly said he was strike
breaking workman and declared he
was unable to stop the car after it
started down the hill. Twenty six
passengers were badly shaken up
when two Third Avenue trolley cars
came together in rear end collision at
139th street and Third avenue. The
crews of both cars were green strike
breakers.
All the passengers were thrown from
their seats but only one, Harry Vein
er, aged 20, was taken to hospital.

NEW LONDON EXPECTS
BREMEN T0LAND THERE
Tugs Watch All Night But
! Submarine Fails to Make
Appearance

New London, Conn, Sept. 1S.-New
London was agog today both again
and yet-expecting the German mer-
chant submarine Bremen to arrive at
any time.
The tug T. A. Scott, Jr., hired by
the Eastern Forwarding company put
out last night when reports were re-
ceived of submersible being off Block
Island. This it is understood, proved
to be one of the American submarines
maneuvering in these waters, but en-
ployes of the tug company said they
believed the Bremen was likely to ap-
pear at any time. No allied warships
are reported off New London.
When the soggy, chill fog lifted
from the Thames early today it failed
to reveal the Bremen out beyond the
Eastern Point, as was expected. AT 2
a. IN. vessel humming like subma-
rine was heard, headed toward the
sound beyond the point. Reporters
thought they sighted tug with ner,
but the humming ceased, all lights were
extinguished and the fog was so thick
the craft could not be picked up again.
Soon after seven o'clock today three
tugs signalled out from beyond the
edge of the lifting mists. One had a
tow. The submarine hunters thought
they were surely triple convoy for
the Bremen, but it developed that one
had nothing more than string of barg-
es and the others were without tow.
The Scott company tug, which spent
last night nervously watching for the
Bremen, was one of the three. The
Scott tug put back to her pier without
explanation, though it was known she
expected to bring in the submarine
over night.
The American submarine Ks came
in during last night.
The summer colony and the Ameri-
can-Mexican commission group spent a
sleepless night awaiting the Bremen.
Julius Fleischman took an excursion
party out in his yacht Whirlwind, but
returned early this morning, disappoint-
ed. The presidential yacht Sylph kept
a special lookout and the Northwest
light fog horn screeched necessarily
throughout the night.

German Loss Appalling.

Paris, Sept. 18.-French troops com
pletely surrounded the village of Denie-
court, south of the Somme, in heavy
fighting last night, it was officially
stated. The Germans counter attacked
savagely on the whole front south of
the somme where the French scored i'm
portant gains yesterday. Three par
ticularly violent attacks were made east
of the village of Berry and south of
Deniecourt, where the French repulsed
the onslaughts and then made further
progress, completing the encircling
movement.
Twelve hundred prisoners and 10 mi
trailleuses were taken.
According to prisoners of the Tenth
Ersatz division the German losses in
fighting south of the Somme Yesterday
were enormous. Two divisions of the
Thirty-eighth battalion were almost an.
initiated by French artillery fire that
preceded the capture of Berny and Yer.
mandovillers.
North of the Somme the French car
rled German trench east of Clery and
repulsed counter attacks.

80 miles from the Bulgarian frontier

In an attempt to relieve the Teutonic

one point, before Halitz, did the Russian

Italians Nearing Trieste.
BY John H. Hearley.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Home, Sept. 1S.-The Italians have
broken the Austrian third line in the
region of Monfalcone after three days
of fierce fighting.
On the whole front, from Goritz south
to the sea, the new Italian drive on
Trieste is proceeding satisfactorily. A
whole series of Austrian positions from
Oppacchiasella southwark through Pie
ira Rosa, has been carried and the Aus
trians driven back to French positions
in the valleys.
Advanced Italian lines are now less
than 13 miles from Trieste.
Heavy rain storms have interfered
with the progress of the offensive, pre-
venting aerial observation and thus i'm
peding the artillery attack. But despite
these obstacles Cadornas men drove the
enemy down the eastern slopes of hills
l44, 20S and several other dominant DO
sitions, holding up the Italian advance
along the Vallohs.

Although the body had been in the

ing that death was due to cramping
rather than the inability of the swim
mer to reach the opposite shore.

"We will arrange to put in tempo

between rails in high speed territory
on account of the hazard involved.
