ROBBERS LEAVE
 NO CLUE AFTER
 MAKING BIG HAUL
CBy Review Leased wire.)

DOUGLAS, Nov. 5.-Officers on both sides of the line tonight are searching for two men, an American and a Mex ican, who early this morning held up and robbed Antonio Peralta, Mexican stamp agent of Agua Prieta. just across the border from here. of s19.- 900 in gold coin. The robbery took place shortly after o'clock on the main business street of Douglas. There were only a few persons on the street at that hour and the highway men vanished before Peralta or the man who was with him could summon the police. No clew was left by the robbers. and although they were un- masked. the stamp agent is unable to give a good description of them.
 Peralta placed the gold in sacks at his office in Agua Prieta and in com pany with trusted employe started for Douglas in carriage. with the intention of sending the money by express to Nogales. Sonora. Three blocks this side of the international boundary they were approached by the two robbers and ordered to halt, and after doing so were attacked. Peralta was stunned by a blow over the head with the butt of a revolver. while the man with him was severely beaten. The robbery was reported to officers at Douglas and at Agua Prieta within half an hour after it took place. but they have been unable to find a trace of the men. Peralta says the voices of the two men gave evidence of their nationality.

 These leviathians were not entire ly at home amid the shifty sands. but nevertheless nosed their way into the enemy lines with pachydematous in- difference to machine and rife fire.

(By Review Leased Wire )


 AMSTERDAM, Nov. 5.-Accord- ing to the correspondent at Gorizia of the Budapest newspaper Pesti- Hierlap, the Austrians made their attack upon Gorizia with a new poisonous gas. the invention Of Viennese professor.
 The rain which fell during the attack, it is explained, kept the fumes close to the ground and rendered the Italian masks useless against the new invention. which. the correspondent declares, is 100 times stronger and more deadly than the gas used in former at tacks on the same front.

ELECTION IN NEW YORK IS
 DOMINATING
 EVENT OF DAY
War Issues Entangled in Four Cornered Fight for the May orally in New York. Mayor Mitchell Favored.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK, Nov 5.-one of the bitterest political campaigns in this city's history came to a close tonight with the eyes of the nation looking to- ward New York because two of the four candidates for mayor have inject ed war issues which make he out come of tomorrow's election transcend in interest the usual local controvers- ies.
 Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, fusion candidate for reelection, has to a large extent subordinated his fight against Tammany Hall by asserting pro-German influences were working to control the election and declaring himself in comple:e sympathy with President Wilson's policies.
 .... Pacificist Candidate. ....
 Morris Hillquit, socialist. has cam paigned openly as a peace advocate. He said frankly that his election must be construed as a mandate to the fed eral government to start negotiations to terminate the war.
 John F. Hylan. democratic candidate who has the support of Tammany Hall and the newspapers of William R. Hearst, has disregarded war issues as campaign material except that he has resented imputations against his loy alty and has based his fight on attacks on the Mitchell regime.
 i' War Time Election.
 The unique political situation in which the metropolis finds itself on the eve of its first wartime election inmany years was frankly puzziing to- night even to veteran campaigneIs Counting the soldier votes, abroad and at many camps and cantonments in America, i; is predicted that approxi- mately 500,000 ballots will be cast. It was conceded that those of the men under arms, estimated at 60,000 might swing the election.
 HiIlquit Barred.
 Three of the candidates devoted a period of campaigning at Camp Upton, where many of New York's citizens are training for service abroad. Hill quit was barred from speaking there. the military authorities holding that utterances "in opposition to the war" should not be permitted 10 be heard by the soldiers.
 Prediction predic lions of victory were made at the headquarters of all four candidates tonight, but the situa- ton was generally conceded so uncer- tain that these statements were re- garded as having been issued for what effect they might have on the voters and because such predictions are GUS tomary.

GERMANS FIGHT
 FRENCH EFFORTS
 10 FORCE AHEAD
Though Huns Retired From Chemin des Danes There Is No Let Up in Their Artillery Fire Against Allied Posi- tons.

FRENCH FRONT IN FRENCE, Nov. By the Associated Press). - The Germans still hold the northern slope of the valley of the Aillett after their retreat from the Chemin des Danes, of which nothing remains but the his toric name and its dominating position over the marshy lowlands. The famous little river, whose entire course the correspondent was able to follow on Sunday as it meandered through the tcggy und ergrowth, would scarcely be worth marking on an ordinary map, as it's greatest breadth is only about three yards The Germans have made many passages over the stream, all of which were destroyed when the last man of their retreating forces went over.
 French patrols everywhere reached the southern bank. but whenever they attempted to attain the other side  chine gun fire. The whole southern slope of the valley was swept hour af. CT hour on Sunday with German shells of all calibers. most of them charged with noxious gases. Every place where the Germans believed the French were concentrating received continuous fusillades. which, however, did little damage. Several thousand projectiles were fired by the German artillery in the course of the day in this sector, most of which apparently were fired at very long range and struck without exploding.
 Country in Ruins
 The correspondent approached the front lines and a splendid view could be obtained right along the valley and over the ground for the possession of which the German crown princes army had spilled so much blood. Seemingly short distance away, well machine gun range, could be observed the ruins of the villages of Chamou- vile, Neuville, Chermizy. Bouconville and Vauclerc. while along the crest of the plateau could be discerned here and there faint traces of what once had been Chemin des Danes. now a mere collection of deep shell craters running into each other
 Gaping Tunnels
 Below the road on the northern side the gaping mouths of great tunnels opened. showing where the Germans had concentrated and sheltered their troops. Very slight damgae had been done these shelters. except in cases where the timbers sustaining the roofs and sides had been sprinkled with petrol and set afre, sometimes caus- ing the earth to collapse.
 Mud and Mud
 Marching over the battlefield atop this plateau, 1t was easy to visualize the terrific nature of the fighting which has been going on these many months. Both the German and French trenches and positions had been shelled out of all shape. and it was difficult to understand how the troops held on under the incessant bonn bardments. There was not an inch Of ground that had not been pulverized. and now. with the heavy autumn mists and frequent rains. the ground has been formed into a stick mass. pro gress through which is really a form of punishment. The great mounds. known as Classmates and California plateaux. stand out boldly. making the reason plain why both sides fought so obstinately for their possession.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.--American troops captured by the Germans in the trench raid on the morning of November probably were trapped, in their dugouts and forced to surrender or be blown to pieces with hand grenades without a chance for their lives.

 Within a short time the fuel ad- ministration will classify all industries in the order of their importance and will direct tha. they be supplied with coal according to their classification.

or three inches of each end and
darn back carefully.
Don't make heel with a seam on

Remember man may not have
a chance to change his socks for
many days, and a lump or knot

blood poisoning may set in and re-
suit in the loss of a foot or even
life. We cannot afford to lose
our men thru negligence or ignor-
ance.
Don't use black, dark or bright
colors. There is again a danger of
poisoning.
Don't use needles too fine for the
wool. The knitting should be elias
tic; il too tightly knitted the sock
becomes hard and boardlike in use.
Don't make foot less than eleven
inches long.
Make all measurements by ruler,
with sock fat on table. Do not
stretch sock

Housekeepers are invited to send

it applies to cooking, washing, cloth
ing or whatever it may be that will

economic changes confronting us.
Our office force find it hard to
keep up their work and have prac-
tical things for the home economics
department that do not become mo-
notonous, and that do not border
too much ON the impractical. Most
of the recipes for cooking deal with
things found in the kitchens and
larders Of city homes rather than
homes in the country or little towns,
and again, the present situation re-
lating to foodstuffs calls for compil-
ing recipes emitting the use of
things that are to be tabooed be-
cause of the desire of the food COM

MISTAKE FISH FOR U-BOATS
Submarine chasers Spend Much Of

BIackfIsh.

Cleveland, GA great percentage
Of the U-boats sighted by merchant
ships going through the submarine
zone are just healthy, deep-sea-going
blackfish ON their way to dinner en-
gagements.
That is why all submarine chasers
spend much Of their time chasing fish
mistaken for submarines. .
Lieut.. Howard Vickery, home on fur
Tough, expressed that opinion. And
Vickery ought to know, for his chaser
cruised $4,000 miles after the German
sea terrors. His ship is in dry dock
now and he has a few days furlough.
'The U-boats do not bother the
American sailors half as much as the
mines," he said.
"Many torpedoed ships are lost" he
continued, "when they might have
been stS ed, because their shippers
steam frantically ahead after being
hit until their own speed causes the
water to rush in so fast that all the
alright bulkheads are caved in"
