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. Pay State and County Taxes. 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.
