RUMANIANS HOLDING
THEIR OWN NOW
LONDON, Oct. 18.—Rumanian,
Russian and German reports indi
cate that the efforts of von Falken
hayn are being withstood success
fully by the Rumanian troops under
Avescu after desperate and exceed
ingly hazardous tactics, the Ruma
nian commander deliberately cutt
ing himself from his own base to
drive at the Teuton center. It is now
admitted by the experts that this ex
traordinary and wholly unexpected
tactic is all that prevented the mag
nificent work of the former German
Chief of Staff from being complete
ly successful.
In Transylvania the tide is turn
ing anti the Teutons north and west
are compelled to put up a defensive
against the Rumanians, the right
and left wing having again joined
with the center in a practically con
tinuous fighting line and all commu
nications again intact.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 18.—The at
temps of the Teuton generals to
wedge the Russians and Rumanians
at Dornawatra have been unsuccess
ful, the Russians on the left and the
Rumanians on the right breamng
down the Bulgar and Teuton attacks
cn the center and forcing a retreat.
PETROGKAD,, Oct. 18.—The Rus- ;
sians surprised and captured all.the I
advanced positions north of Ketro- j
patnika. Heavy fighting continues j
at Koryntza. The desperate German i
and Austrian attacks south and west '

pulsed by Lechitsky.

ZEPPS COT IN THEIR
WORK ON LONDON
BERLIN, Oct. 18.—A Staats Zeit
ung report says that eye witnesses
have communicated to the Im
perial German government that the
Zeppelin raid upon England on
September 23 was accompanied by
damage and destruction of a pecu
liarly effective and wholesale char
acter. They report that bombs
struck the Grimsby barracks and
also a British cruiser. Four hund
red soldiers and sixty sailors were
killed. It is also officially reported
that Regent St. in London was re
fluced to a mass of ruins, and that
the damage in that section of the
British metropolis is estimated at
not less than ten million pounds
sterling.
The number killed will not he
less than five hundred and eighty
souls. The British have endeavored
to hide all knowledge of this de
structive raid from the world at
large and have been at considerable
pains to belittle the effectiveness ot
these deadly and damaging raids.
German spies however have furnish
ed full and authentic reports which
are now made public.
NEW YORK. Oct. IS.—Edgar
Rickard, an American arriving on
the steamer Ryndam from England
today, says that the story of the
Zeppelin damage in the raid ot
September 23, is all complete non
sense and an invention pure and
simple. He says he doesn’t know
how many were killed, but he does
know that Regent Street was not
even touched by any shells.

The opinion is ventured by master
mariners of experience in that sec

has probably taken refuge in one
of the mouths of the Yukon in that
river’s delta and that the storm may
have banked these up with a bar
thus detaining the U. S. Mercantile
Co’s motorship. It is quite a com
mon experience that this happens.

The most regrettable feature of
the fire is that seven persons whose

So far the cause of the fire is un

MASS MEETING OF
STRIKERS HOLDS OUT
BAYONNE, Oct. 18.—A great
mass meeting of the strikers held in
defiance of police and gunmen, de
cided by a practically unanimous
vote to continue the strike. Word
was sent to the meeting that feder
al mediators and John D. Rockefel
ler Junior were arriving to consider
the strike situation. The meeting
was requested to decide
to return to work pending the
agreement which might be made
concerning the strike by a commit
tee. The meeting turned down the
proposition to return to work, claim
ing that they did that before and
were all of them discriminated.
They appointed a committee of six
members to confer with Rockefeller
Junior and Federal Mediators

They are now conferring in New

NEW YORK, Otc. 18.—John D.
Rockefeller Junior is very non-com
mittal concerning his views upon
the Bayonne strike and refused to
make any statement regarding his
coming visit to the refineries or his
conference with the federal mediat
ors.
BAYONNE, Oct. 18.—Strenuous
opposition is to be offered any settle
ment by local managers to the pre
sent strike. The refinery heads
claim that the Standard Oil cannot
afford to make any concessions to
the strikers. The matter however ia
now practically out of their hands.

BEARS TRY WILSON
SCARE FORCE PANIC
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—It is an
open secret that bears are trying to
capitalize a Wilson scare on the
street and trying to start a panic by
future prophecies of the radicalistic
attitude may be expected from a se
cond term Wilson.
While it is quite clear that Wall
street is fighting for Hughes, it is
also evident that they are losing
faith in his possibilities of victory,
but refusing to stampede on that ac
count.
A vigorous fight is on between the
bulls and the bears, both trying to
make gains by reason of the political
situation.
CHICAGO, Oct. IS.—M’Adoo to
day made a campaign speech for
Wilson wherein he boosted the ad
ministration as the best and most
efficient since Abraham Lincoln. He
says that the republicans are asking
the voters to approve the mperil
ment of the present prosperity and
peace. That is "what the election ol
an inexperienced man like Hughes
would mean. M’Adoo said that even
his friends had expected that he
would prove a larger man and were
astonished that Hughes was proving
himself such small timber.
M’Adoo followed his attack by
challenging Hughes to abandon his
persistent knocking of the Wilson
policy and as a specimen of con
structive goverment to state what
he would haev done in the Lusitania
case. He said that the election
meant Roosevelt dictatorship.

FIERCE GALE STRIKES
SUNNY GULF STATES
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18.—Prac
tically the entire Gulf states are be
ing wind swept by terrific gales. A
one hundred mile gale struck Fort
Morgan and since that time it has
been outside communication, all
wires being down. Many coastal
wireless stations have been wrecked
and particulars are hard to get.
LOCAL ITEMS.
Fred Larson arrived yesterday
from X station. He reports that the
Pioneer Mining Co. has a couple of
gangs on the Santa Clara and Black
Point doing assessment work but
they will be in, in a day or two.
There are about fifty-five men yet
at work at Little creek camp, laying
pipe, putting in pen stocks etc. Men
report that the ditch could be filled
with water yet and it is probable
that had not the company completed
ara'ngements to close down when
the frost came a short time ago,
they could still be doing big work.
