THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
TODAY’S WAR SUMMARY
For the first time since the Germans were checked in their advance
on Warsaw, it was possible today t > gain a fairly clear idea of the mili
tary situation in Russian Poland )u its broader aspect. Advices from
both Berlin and Petrograd indicated that the Germans had definitely suc
ceeded in throwing hack the enveloping Russian forces and were main
taining stolidly their positions w-ejt of Lowicz. Furthermore, it is said
that the Germans are again undertaking an energetic offensive.
The completeness of change in the situation, ascribed variously to the
failure of the Russian General Rcnnenkamp to dose up the ring about
the Germans and to the brilliant strategy of the German leaders, is indi
cated by a report telegraphed from Petrograd by an English correspon
dent who previously had announced that the Russians had won an over
whelming victory. He now states that the Germans are holding their
positions and that the situation “remains extremely Interesting and haz
ardous.”
The latest official announcement from Petrograd states that the fight
ing has become less severe. A German military critic estimates that the
Russian losses in killed, wounded, prisoners and death from sickness
amount to fully 1,100,000, or one-third of the nation's best troops.
In Galicia the situation is still confused. Recent reports from Petro
grad that the Russians had invested Cracow on three sides are now con
tradicted by an unofficial dispatch which says that the Invaders are eight
miles from the The archbishop of Przemsyl, the Galicia., strong
hold which has been under siege for several weeks, is quoted as saying
that the situation there Is desperate and that the surrender of the city
Impends.
Dispatches from Nlsh, the temporary capital of Servia, confirm Aus
trian reports of the occupation of Belgrade by stating that the .city had
been evacuated by the Servians in consequence of the advance of the in
vading Austrian army.
In France and Relgium the deadlock remains unbroken. Although
fighting proceeds at various points there was no Indication that either
side had won important advantages.
POLICE CHARGE WHITE MEN
“HIGHER UP” RESPONSIBLE
AUGUSTA AUTO ROBBERIES
(Continued from Preceding Page).
until the receivers of stolon goods are
brought tu the bar of justice and made
examples of (here will be no cessa
tion of tho wholesale burglaries, lar
cenies, etc., thnt have been going on
here with regard to automobile equip
ment.
Says He Stole for White Man.
The chief has it from the lips of
Antone Williams, the negro, whom ho
has in jail now with almost a dozen
charges against, that he was sent by
ono w’hite man with a jack to jack up
and take the tires off another white
man’s car in the latter’s own yard.
This negro has stolen tires, tools and
other automobile equipment from all
over the city and has found, It is said,
a ready market, there being white au
tomobile owners rendy to buy his
goods, knowing that they were stolen.
Another very startling piece of in
formation is to the effect that this
negro Is now under nine bonds and
his offenses date back from February
28 of this year, and, according to the
police, he has never been tried for
any of them.
Here is his record, as furnished by
the police department:
February 28, larceny from the
house.
March 29, larceny from the person.
March 30, larceny from the person.
May 27, burglary.
July 10, burglary.
September U, misdemeanor.
November 12, misdemeanor.
December 2, misdemeanor.
December 2, misdemeanor.
December 2, burglary.
Bach time the negro is arrested he
furnishes bond without any trouble,
and. according to Antone, one white
man, who owns a Ford automobile,
was always ready to stand his bond
and is now on four of them.
Stole Because of Fear.
Troperty recovered from the estab
lishments of at least two Augusta
white men are admitted by these men
to have been secured from the negro,
only their versions of tho story and
Atitone’s do not exactly tally. One
of them, according to the negro, w;us
specially nice to hint and he says he
did not sell him automobile parts at
all, hut gave them to him partly out
of gratitude for the man standing his
bond and partly because of fear If be
didn’t the man would come off his
bond. The negro’s story about a por
th n of bis work follows:
"Nigger, It's about court time anil
1 need a couple of tires," said one of
de gemmon. “So you git me a couple.
Here's my jack. Now I know where
an automobile Is standing In a yard
on Klbert Btreet. Go dere an' Jack
up de car, take de air out de tires
and pull 'em off and bring 'em to me."
The nejyo did as he was told, but
before going through May park be
became frightened nnd threw tho
tires into the cemetery.
Chief Klllott and Chief Detective
WliAttle say they have been working
on The case for days and have about
consummated It. They have the "dead
wood” on at least two white men. they
say, and will charge them with receiv
ing stolen goods.
Antone Williams bad an accomplice
in some of his stealing, a negro by the
name of John Robertson, who la also
under arrest.
Antone broke Into the Augusta Gro
cery company months ago and stole
20 caddies of tobacco. Later he en
tered the barracks, for he had gotten
out on bond almost immediately, and
stole one of ,he same caddies that bad
been recovered after he had been ar
rested for breaking Into the grocery
company. Dtecilve Glover chased him
for two days and he was put under
arrest again. He again gave bond.

PLAY AT THifMODJESKA
YESTERDAY APPRECIATED
The play yesterday at the Modjeska
Theatre, the first installment of "Zu
dora," entitled "The Mystic Message
of the Spotted Collar," was presented
w'ith an overflowing audience. From
2 o’clock In the afternoon until closing
time the parkade, box seats, lobby and
even to the sidewalk was packed with
movie fans seeking entrance to see the
beginning of the wonderful a
thrilling drama of love, science and
Hindu Mystlcim.
The pictures were simply wonder
ful, living up to every expectation of
the clamorous Modjeskaites, and those
who will attend this theatre in tre fu
ture, Hasßam All’s mystery-room was
appreciated in every sense of the word.
“Zudora,” the 18-year-old beauty, the
star of the occasion, was liked from her
first entrance in the play; her skill in
solving her first mystery was remark
able. Praise in favor Of her acting
was voiced on all sides. John Storm
also starred, his acting being particu
larly good when drugged by Zudora to
prevent him from engaging in a duel
with Bienreith.
Taking it all-in-all, the acting, the
plot and In fact every thing in con
nection with this thrilling master
piece was of the best.
The enormous crowd was well
pleased, and the fact that there still
remnins 19 more episodes of still more
thrilling and wonderful photoplay to
he shown, guarantees the management
of the Modjeska of their appreciation.
Judging from the spirit shown yes
terday at this play every episode to
follow will he presented with just tho
same overflowing crown experiences
Wednesday. It was highly successful
The management deserves praise for
putting on this masterpiece.
Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity
Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom
ach Itself is not diseased but if this
acid condition is allowed to continue, tile
acid is very likely to eat Into the stom
ach walls nnd produce stomach ulcers
which may render a radical surgical op
eration necessary even to prolong life.
Therefore, an “acid stomach" is really
a dangerous condition and should bs
treated seriously. It is utterly useless
to take pepsin and ordinary stomach
tablets. The excess acid or stomach
hyperacidity must be neutralised by the
administration of an efficient antacid.
For this purpose the best remedy Is bis
urnted magnesia taken in teaspoonful
doses in a fourth of a glass of water
after each meal. Larger quantities may
bo used if necessary as It Is absolutely
harmless. Be sure to ask your drug
gist for the Msurated magnesia as other
forms of magnesia maka effective mouth
washes but they have not the same ac
tion on tho stomach as the blturated.
