war office statement Of last Night
reads:
..There were fusillades of greater IN
tensfty in the direction OF Brody.
ION the Rumanian front south OF
Aeruth as fair as the village OF Solka
the enemy conducted a series of at
tacks of considerable intensity. All
were repulsed.
..In the region northwest OF Sipot
and Katergali the enemy after obstin-
ate attacks occupied a series OF
heights, forcing back our troops slight
ly eastward.
Between the rivulets Sluzza and
Dostiana a. number of enemy attacks
were beaten off. The enemy succeeded
in penetrating our trenches on one of
the heights but he was elected by a
counter attack. This retirement de-
veloped into a fight. We captured
eight prisoners and a machine gun.
After artillery preparation the en-
envy attacked the Rumanian positions
in the region between the rivers Oitez
and Kasino and in certain districts
pressed back some of them. An at
tack south of the river Kasino was
repulsed by the Eumanians.

only during the evening that the ar

the greatest intensity especially on

AN, English accommodating detach-

The reconstruction Of the socialist

nally, it is claimed that an agreement
of the warning governments is only
possible by a free and frank discus
sion Of each others claims and de-

and labor men Of all countries are
urged to demand.
The conference consisted of dele
gates from all trade unions and other
labor socialist representatives For
several days a sharp division had ex-
listed among labor men with references
to sending delegates to Stockholm, the
main initiatory difference being the
conversion of Arthur Henderson, labor
member of the British war council, to
, the view. while in Petrograd. that it
was desirable that British labor be
represented at the deliberations of the
| International delegates
William Purdy, chairman OF the
labor party, presided AMI in his open

| Allies decisive victory over n1ilitar-

dom from the aggression of militar-
4 ism.
Mr.. Henderson was one that ad-
dressed the conference. THE Rus

take action on the war" he said. 7
made 1t plain that our position would
be only a consultive one! The Rus

ence. I made it plain to them that
serious harm would be done TO US by
sending delegates to such mis-
sion.''

Harry Hewitt, pseudo California
ranch owner. gentleman burglar and
expert mechanic, a former foreman at
the U. M. c., is once more at large
and the police of this city are making
every effort to trace him since his dis
charge from a Pennsylvania prison
wher he was serving a. six months
sentence. Good behavior resulted in
his being given his liberty before the
full term was served.
Detective James Bray, who went to
arrest Hewitt on his release charging
him with obtaining $500 from George
Tenney, 222 Holly street, U. NJ. c..
foreman, under false pretenses, is to-
day in Philadelphia trying to find
Hewitt
From early last summer until last
January, Hewitt cut quite swath at
Myrtle Beach and in this city. He
/ told Tenney he had big ranch in
| California and needed a man for
| the property. Such man, he argued,
would take more pains in his work in
asmuch as he had an interest in the
business.
Tenney gave him $500 and ar
rangements were made by Hewitt to
marry a girl in his department at the
/ u. M. c., who acted as his clerk. She
went home to Vermont to prepare for
the wedding and Hewitt stated when
| he purchased a touring car in which
/ to take his bride and Tenney to Cali
fornia, he would notify her. Need
! less to say she is still in Vermont
| waiting for Hewitt who disappeared
! last January from this city.
While at Myrtle Beach last sum-
4 mer he introduced his daughter to
numerous friends as his niece, keep
/ ing secret the fact that he was mar
ried and that his wife and relatives
lived in West Haven where all are
| well known. His daughter at g. high
school ball in West Haven appeared
In gown last winter, the style and
i cost of which caused her to be the
i cynasure of all eyes. She was the
belle of the soiree.
A short time later Hewitt was ar.
A rested in Philadelphia for cleaning on
an exclusive gown and modIste shop
The authorities on visiting his Yves
i Haven home found several Thousand
dollars worth of stolen goods, includ
ing gowns of the most expensive tex
ture. He was then sent to prison and
! arrangements made to turn him owe
to the Bridgeport police on his release
In some manner the arrangem emit
went by the board, with the result tina
Hewitt is now at large.
