 MOUNTAIN FORTS
Despite Tremendous Odds, Czar's Men Conquer Moun- tain Heights Above kerli- baba and Capture Many.
(By Review Leased Wire)

PETROGRAD, Sept 2S.-The Rus sian commander, General Brussiloff, has pushed forward his eytreme left to the highway running between Kimpolung and Maramares Sziget, cutting that important Austro-German line of communication above Kerli- baba. After a sseries of desperate battles, Russians succeeded in captur- ing a mountain overlooking the high way, which gave thems an important strategic advance. At the same time they took range of mountains over looking Kirlebaba.
 Immediately north of this district, Russians formed ahead to the upper reaches of the Charny- -Choromesh, where the stream bends southward to Kuty (Bukowina).
 The extremely difficult mountainous country is offering every advantage to the defenders and the advance has been made against tremendous odds.
 A noteworthy success has cen ac- complished by General Brussiloffs center on the upper Sereth, where Russians have made an advance in the face of strong German reinforce ments, capturing 1,500 prisoners.

WOMAN IN TRIPLE SHOOTING INNOCENT
 AYERS HUSBAND
Hubby Sees Wife Greatly Wronged When Shot in Mans Room by Discarded Affinity in Philadelphia.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2S.-Mrs. Joseph c. Leduc, the sole survivor in the triple shooting at a hotel here yesterday, told her husband that her part in the tragedy was an innocent one and he accepted her word for it, and declared that he had never had any doubts as to her.
 'T knew it." he exclaimed, after talk with his wife. She has given me the straight account of this dis tressing affair. She's true to me. She has not been in the wrong and I'll take her back to Chicago as soon as she can travel"
 Mir. Leduc came here from his home in Chicago and went immediately to the hospital to see his wounded wife who was shot by Mrs. Harris BeltZer of New York, a discarded sweetheart of J. c. Graveur, also of New York.
 Graveur was instantly killed by Mrs. Belzer when she found him and Mrs. Leduc in hotel room together. Mrs. Beltzer then ended her own life.
 After reciting the incidents which preceded the shooting to her husband, Mrs. Leduc gave a statement to the detectives in which she is quoted as saying:
 Tt is untrue that I registered with Graveur at the hotel as his wife. left New York Tuesday afternoon after visiting my sister and came to Philadelphia to visit my nephew. After visiting my nephew I received a telephone call from MT. Graveur asking me to meet him in the even ing. I met him at the hotel and he invited me to go to the theatre. had no baggage with me. and planned to remain here only for the day, in- tending to return to New York the same day. After inviting me to go to the theatre MT. Graveur suggested that I leave my hand bag in his room and l agreed to do so.
 "On our return from the theatre we had something to eat on the roof gar den and about l o'clock I,told him it was time for me to go to my nephew's home.
 q then remembered the hand bag in his room.
 We stopped by at the room to get it. We had barely stepped into the room and just as was about to pick up the handbag near the dresser, a woman jumped out of the closet. She was tall and dark and I don't believe ever saw her before. She had a revolver in her hand. She said nothing.
 She began to shoot. The first shot struck MT. Graveur in the left side. l tried to rush to the door but before l could I was shot. That is all l remember"
 Leduc was introduced at the cor oner's office to Miss Andrew, a sister of Mrs. Beltzer, who had come from New York to claim the body of her sister. Miss Andrew said she couii not believe that her sister did the shooting.
 You can realize" she said, that l am just as anxious to uphold the honor of my sister as you are that of your wife" The authorities tonight said while Mrs. Leduc is under arrest, policemen are to guard near her door. She will be kept here," said Captain of Detectives Smith, until we have proof as to who did the shooting"
