steady advance of the Allies and the

Belgian troops, who cut the dykes.
The following telegram to The Daily
Mail from Rotterdam corroborates the

“The Gormans are reported to have
evacuated Ostend. They have retired

north of Ostend, where they are plac

E. M. Amphlett, telegraphing to The

has been occupied by the Allies. The
Bavarian loldiers, this < correspondent
says, have been forced back step by

der date of Thursday. The dispatch
continues:
"The question of sending Halil Bey,

Vienna and Berlin has been consid
ered Hie departure is regarded as
imminent. Halil Bey has been a
moderating influence in the councils
of the Government and it is presumed
that the mission will consist of en
deavoring to convince Berlin and its
friends that Turkey must not depart
from neutrality.
"It is also anticipated that Halil
Bey’s visit will enable him to obtain
a truer app relation of the situation
in Europe, especially as he will meet
in Berlin Hakki Pasha, who has Just
arrived there from London, and will
be afforded an opportunity of com
paring notes on the respective situa

Dallas, N. C. Mrs. Thomas Davis,
of this place, says: “About two years
ago, when I was eighteen years old. I
was in a bad condition from womanly
troubles. I fell off until 1 weighed not
more than 85 lbs.
“I suffered dreadful pains in my
hips, sides and abdomen for about 6
days out of every month.
“I couldn’t sleep at night, and the
pains were so dreadful I couldn’t lie
down, for the blood would seem to
rush to my head.
“1 felt 1 must have some relief, for
it seemed that the awful suffering

”1 had read of what Cardui had

“After the use of one bottle, the

A request also will be made, he said,
to enlist women of Atlanta in the
work through a capable and promi
nent woman. If a mass meeting is
held, he suggested, Senator Hoke
Smith should be requested to deliver
an appeal.
At this juncture Mr. Candler laid
Mown the principle of the meeting and
the principle which, he said, should
be followed in all the work.
“You have got to depend on your
self and your own efforts In this
work,” he said. “You gentlemen are
interested; you have proved that.
Therefore it is your duty to handle
this work without placing the re
sponsibility elsewhere.”
It was for this reason, he said, that
he did not favor the mass meeting
idea or the appeal to Senator Smith.
Up to Workers, Says Candler.
I “That will accomplish many
things.” he said, "but not in a case
like this. It is we who are here to
day who have got to «ee this thing
thrdough.” ’ , .
R L Foreman, president of the As
sociated Charities, said the business
and manufacturing concerns must be
reached first of all.
“Last year,” he said, "but 8;> out of
probable 1,000 industrial concerns

contributed, and their donations av
eraged $14. And it is to be remem -
bored that 50 per cent of the work of
the association Is among Industrial
employees. There should be little
difficulty in persuading 100 firms, at
the least, to put the Associated Char
ities on their budget for $100 u year,
or more. The service they receive is
worth that much."
Mr. Candler and .1 K. Orr said they
both had been beneficiaries of the As
sociated Charities, because the asso
ciation had intelligently placed their
charity where it could do the most
good.
Question an Important One.
“The hypothetical proposition of
j shutting down the free schools of At
lanta.” he said, “would be hardly more
important than is this question."
James R. Gray suggested that a
committee of substantial business
men, 100 in number, be enlisted to
5»ign a statement to the public in
dorsing the association and its work.
This w a •- later adopted. Wilmer L.
Moore suggested that the committee
sh udvi investigate the working meth
od of the association, presenting a
report on i t results to offset the
thoughtless argument that too much
money is paid in salaries and rents in
proportion to the amount disbursed
for charity.
Judge K <’ Kontz and J K. Orr
suggested that the proffer of moving

formance. as made through Colonel
John Temple Graves might antago-

PETROGRAD, Oct. 31.—Russian
generals can not explain “the German
strategic blunder” in delaying a night
attack on Mar.saw until the chance
to make it was lost. This surprise is
expressed in Warsaw, whence corner
some details of the German advance,
in Russian Poland, which was defeat
ed so disastrously.
But the Russian generals, always
ftank in admitting tlie achievements
of the enemy, express admiration of
General von Morgan’s lightning ad
vance of live German army corps over
the difficult swampy region approach
ing Warsaw from the southwest.
The appearance of the Germans in
this quarter was most unexpected, as
the German network of railways and
the previously constructed platforms
for heavy guns pointed to the prob
ability of a German advance from the
northwest or west, or from anywhere
but the southwest.
Grave German Error.
The Germans made a grave error,
it is asserted, in not pursuing the ad
vantage derived from their unexpect
ed advance, which would have en
abled them to approach within eight
miles of Warsaw without their pres
ence being known.
For unknown reasons the Germans
suddenly decided to delay the attack
on Warsaw until morning, which al
lowed the Siberian and other Russian
reinforcements to protect the city
adequately. Papers found on Ger
man officers indicate that the ~eneral
plan was to attack Warsaw that
night One explanation for the
change in the plan is that the Ger
mans failed to secure the assistance
of the Polish element in Warsaw,
upon which th&y had counted.
The Russian generals also admire
the Germans’ quick extrication of
their army when they found them
selves outflanked by the Russian
cavalry. Their retreat was so com
plete and precipitate that the Rus
sians could not overtake and engage
the rear guard In action until they
had traversed several miles. The
whole affair. Including the whirlwind
advance and retreat, is a puzzle to
the Russians.
Further details of the defeat before
Warsaw are given:
Thirty Miles in March.
"The Germans retreated from War
saw at night, covering over 30 miles
on their first march. They ieft artil
lery to mask their retreat. The Rus
sians caught up two days later.
“The capture of Lowicz virtually
insures possession of the country for
80 miles to the westward of Warsaw.
“Along the whole western front the
Russian medical aid worked like
clockwork. Trains, motors, vans and
carriages were plentiful everywhere.
A big lunatic asylum at Tvorok, in
the zone of fighting, near Warsaw,
had to be evacuated. A detachment
of troops was pent with orders not to
use violence. The doctors tied tow
els into a long rope and told the In
mates if they let go of the. rope they
would be shot by the Germans. So
all were taken to the railway. A few-
recalcitrant women scratched, bit and
kicked the wardens.
“The Army Messenger, in summing
up the operations on the Russian
front, says the German forces in the
region of Mlawa and Vitzlavsk. dis
quieted by the situation on the front
at Thorn and Krakow', have retract
ed in the direction of East Prussia,
where the population has been or
dered to retire into the interior.
“On the Galician front the entire
Stry Valley southward from the riv
er and the railway tracks from the
Stry to Drohoblez are congested with
Austrian corpses. Between last
Thursday and Sunday, during the
pursuit of the enemy, the Russians
captured 17 officers, 4,000 men, 11 ma
chine guns, 22 guns, 23 caissons and
masses of other war material.”
The Russian bombardment of the
Austrian fortress of Przemysl con
tinues during the night with the aid
of strong searchlights.
Disease Works Havoc.
Deserters from the fortress, the
dispatch adds, say that many of the
defenders are succumbing to epidem
ics and that the medicines and pro
visions are exhausted. Practically
all men of the garrison have to work
continually on the fortifications,
w-hich the Russians are destroying
fast. It is said.
Life in Warsaw is nearly normal
again. The people are relieved be
cause no more German aerial bombs
are being dropped, although they did
little damage.
The number of Austrian wounded
w ho passed through Vienna alone,
which was officially estimated at
136,000 up to September 13, now
amounts to at least 200,000.

TOKIO, Oct. 31.—A semi-official
Japanese paper. The Nichi Nichi
Shimbun, states that a protest will
be lodged at Washington against the
continued stay at Honolulu of the
German warship Geier.
It declares that joint Anglo-Japa*
nese representations to the local of
ficials at Honolulu have failed to
have any effect, though the Geier has
completed repairs. The protest ai
Washington is expected to result in
an immediate order for the vessel’s
internment.
This will permit the, Japanese war
ship Hsien, now outside of Honolulu,
to pursue other German warships.
City Urged to End
Unemployment Evil
Radical changes in Atlanta's charity
system will be urged upon Council by
t lie industrial commission of citizens
and officials who have been investigat
ing means for the relief of the poor.
The plan to be. recommended was
asrreed upon by the citizen members,
T~ K. Glenn, L*. C. Hopkins, Isaac
Schoen and J. M. B. Hoxsey, at a meet
ing Saturday, and will be added to tbe
written report pointing out that the city
should issue bonds and use every re-
sourse to provide employment for the
working classes.
The recommendations review the
study of conditions made through At
torney l’hilip Weltner by which it was
learned that there are 7,000 less men
employed by industrial plants at present
than during normal times and that there
are 5.000 men working on half time.
Since the Associated Charities closed its
doors ther*- is no employment agency
to aid these people, either public or
private.
The recommendations urge a munici
pal charity bureau.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 31.- The Offi

Is against her. For Bulgaria no

Russian Officials
Hope to Avoid Clash
By FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PETROGRAD, Oet. 31.—Neither
Russia nor Turkey has yet declared
war, and intimations came from high
circles to-day that a conflict between
the two nations might yet be avoided.
These were accepted at only their face
value, as sentiment here is over-
w helmingly in favor of war against
the Porte unless it furnishes a satis
factory explanation of attacks on
Russian ports and ships.
It Is officially stated that the Rus
sian Ambassador is still in Constan
tinople, and the Turkish Charge d'Af-
faires here declared to-day that the
Embassy in Petrograd would remain
until the attaches had been reca41ed
or had been handed their passports by
the Russian Government.
Russian officials hint that the bom
bardment of Black Sea ports was un
dertaken by the German commanders
of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau
in order to force Turkey into the war.
They flatly deny allegations said to
have been made by the Turkish Gov
ernment that the Sultan’s warships
undertook their campaign because the
Russian fleet opposed the passage of
Turkish ships through the Bosphorus
into the Black Sea.
Sea Battle Not Confirmed.
No confirmation has been received
here of reports that a ba ttle is in prog
ress between Turkish and Russian
fleets in the Black Sea off Odessa.
Papular demonstrations in favor of
war with Turkey continue here and
the guard placed over the Turkish
Embassy is maintained night and day.
Shouts of “Down with Turkey!’* min
gled with cries of “Down with Ger
many!” resound everywhere the
crowds congregate. The newspapers
discuss the situation to-day, some
600,000 men. Those in Asia will be
used in Invading the Caucasus and
Egypt.
“There are fully 1,000 German offi
cers now in the Turkish army, and it
is no longer the disorganized, poorly
equipped army that was crushed by
the Balkan allies General Liman von
Sanders, an able German leader, is In
command of the army. Colonel Dever
another German, is in command of the
Turkish Straits.”
The military expert of The Bourse ±
Gazette says the military forces of
Turkey must not be despised. It says
the Sultan can put 600,000 men in the
field at once, and that the corps In
Syria are the basis of an expedition
ary force that will Invade and strike j
at the Suez Canal in an attempt to
wrest control of that waterway from
England, and thus prevent the Allies
receiving reinforcements from India
without long delay.
France With Czar in
War Against Turks
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BORDEAUX, Oct. 31.—Franc© will
give her full support to Russia in
case that country goes to war with
Turkey. Assurances to this effect
have been given to Ambassador Is-

Minister of France, Theophilo Del-

If Russia formally declares war,
France will take a similar step, it is
understood. England may withhold
action until she determines whether
Turkey intends to carry the war into
Egypt.

and consternation apparently prevail

“The secretary of the Turkish' Em

preparations for war. having gath
