SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. A wire
less telegraphy invention eliminating
ti- 2 construction of the present towering
steel structures for sending and re
ceiving by simply projecting a wire
along the ground for a short distance
was announced here today by R . B.
Woolverton. United States radio inspec
tor. In collaboration with Palmer B.
Hewlitt, of Hollister, Cal., Mr. Woolver-
ton has been experimenting for months
with the new apparatus.
" According to its discoverers, the new
method has proved eminently success
ful in receiving messages from Hono
lulu, Sayville and Arlington, Va. An
absolute freedom from static conditions
has been achieved in the reception of
messages, but lesser success has been
attained in transmitting messages.
So far, only a single wire 500 feet
long, stretched along the ground, has
been used in receiving messages, but
experiments with ground antennae are
in progress. The experimenters assert
their invention will entirely do away
with wireless towers.

ARSAW. Russia. Sept. 5. That
Novageorgievsk day was a day of su
perlatives.
The wreckage of war lay all around
us. On one hand was the human,
homely, mournful pageantry of refu
gees, and on the other the spectacle
of whole corps of a captured army
streaming ' along the highways and
through the woods. In front of us were
the stately splendors of Kaisemarade.
which rises to "the solemnity of a rit
ual, and behind us the sky was black
with smoke rolling up from the pre
mier fortress of the great Polish quad
rilateral. Captives Keep Coming In.
In this mall dispatch I am going to
set down some of the day's incidentals
that I could not touch when I was trv
Ing to hit its high spots by cable. The
nrst Incidental was a prett fair sized
one. for it comprehended st matter of
Z0.000 prisoners .In one batch with
more to follow ail day long and tar
into the night. Of all the sights of tne
day the wheeling lines -of gray, the
fortress that was sinking1-into ashes
before one's evis. and the vilLazes
that were going up in flame I don't
know but what this one of the pris
oners was the most impressive, be
cause it was the most decisive. It was
no taking of a capital or of a, forti
fication system from which the de
fending troops had slipped away. It
meant the gathering in of the flower
of a whole army, and no explainer of
strategical retreats" and no coiner of
similar euphemisms can gainsay it.

my seventh to the front, I didn't be

Germany was making Russian pris

000, half a hundred thousand
l'onlurri Full of Prisoners.
The fact is, that in Poland and Ger
many today the Germans have whole
fortresses and highways and pastures
full of prisoners. Where they had as
sembled them In the fields on each side
of the railway leading into Warsaw
the effect was overwhelming. It was
like the pictures one used to see in
the school histories of the United
States of the plains in the old days
when they were traversed by herds of
buffalo. The dull brown uniform of
the broad-backed Russians emphasized
the resemblance.
It was strange how few guards were
needed. Sometimes one would pass a
quarter of a mile of fields in which
the prisoners were squatting or lying,
and ono would not see six German
landstrummers leaning on their rifles.
But perhaps the greatest sight was
the column of prisoners we passed
when we had made two-thirds of the
distance to Novogeorglevsk. The chaus
see (not an ordinary country road, but
a broad highway) was packed with
men as far as the eye could see. They

Saturday's War Moves
TROOPS of the entente allies have
left Saloniki for the Serb-Bulgarian
frontier, according to a news dis
patch from Athens. The allied forces
are said to have started Saturday for
the Serbian front, where the Bulgar
ians are reported to be making prog
ress in their assault on the defenses
of the Serbians.
In the western theater of war a vig
orous counter attack delivered by the
French in the Vosges enabled them to
recapture all their positions on the
summit of Hartmans-Weilerkopf. ac
cording to the latest official statement
from Paris. The French also say they
have taken a small fort previously oc
cupied by the Germans. An official
statement from Berlin says that a Ger
man attack made with the object of
Improving the Teutonic positions on
Hartmans-Weilerkopf was entirely
successful, the opposing forces suffer
ing severe losses.
Roumania has Joined Greece in de
clining to enlarge the conflagration
in the Near East by announcing of
ficially that the Roumanian govern
ment intends to observe strict neu
trality.
This announcement followed close en
official German intimations that it was
time that Bucharest gave more delinite
lndicatons of Roumanla's stand. In
view of the latest developments in the
Balkans. . From a German source also
comes a. report that British and French
Ministers are leaving Athens. This re
port is discredited in London.
Field Marshal Mackensen, directing
operations on the Serbian drive, re
ports -the storming of Vranova Moun
tain, south of Semendrla. and of Smol
jlnao village, east of Pozarevac, while
Bulgarian. troops, pressing on the Serb
ian border to the south, are declared
to have forced frontier passes at sev
erii points and to have taken the east
ern forts of Zajecar, some five miles
over the border in Serbia and about 40
miles northeast of Nish.
Special dispatches from Nish esti
mate the Teutonic losses in the Serb
Ian campaign up to Thursday night
last as 25.000 killed and 60,000 wound
ed. It is declared in these advices that
a German army which attempted to
turn the Serbian right wing at Sc
mendria was driven into the marshes
on the Danube near the Semendrla
fortress. Heavy reinforcements for
the Germans In the Pozarevac section
are reported on the way.
Jreat Britain's declaration of war on
Bulgaria has been followed by & decla
ration of a blockade of the Bulgarian
ports on the Aegean Sea, a stretch of
about 80 miles, extending from Sar
ttchahan, Greece, to Enos. European
Turkey.
Unofficial reports from Petrograd
say the Germans appear to be on the
defensive along the entire line, except
that section near Dvlnsk, which, it is
said, they have been ordered to capture
at any cost.
Berlin, however, officially reports
Russian attacks not only before
Dvinsk, but at other places, and adds
that they have been repulsed. These
attacks were all comprised within the
army group of Field Marshal von Hin

the Russians have assumed something
in the nature of a general offensive
along the front of which Dvinsk forms,
