Petrograd, Oct. 2. The Kussian of fensive in the Bifa advanced a mile against the Teutons today, the war of fice announced. "In the Kiga region south of the rail way from Kronenberg to Bpitali and in the Gronduli sector our vanguard ad vanced a mile," the statement added.

Demand for reprisals fr the German air raids became a pub lic movement of national proportidns to day, following the most formidable erman "baby killing" expedition the apital has ever seen. . THEATRE. X TO-DAY LAW 6 Big Acts 6 LOIS WEBER'S Master Stroke depicting the ranges of capital punishment Screen Magazine ) THEATRE Vw For almost three hours London's anti aircraft guns banged away last night, ending an intermittent curtain of steel into the air iu the hope of barring the way to the Gorman airmen. There were four raiding squadrons. Two eluded the barrage fire and dropped explosives over southwest London. Other machines left a trail of bombs on various counties. The exact extent of the damage and casualties had not been announced early today. The Germans selected an ideal night lor their sixth rail m eight days. It was clear and the moon was full. Lon don expected a raid and quickly "took cover" when the warning signals were sounded. Many of the city's activities, however, continued. Several theatres ran without intermission. As much ammunition as that expend ed in a small sized battle at the front was shot into the air. The rattle of falling shrapnel on the roofs and iu the streets was constant over some sec tions. . Counter Attacks Violent. London, Oct. 2. Violent German counter-attacks by great forces of spec ially picked troops against recently gained British positions along the bloody Ypres sector were all repulsed by British defenders, ' Field Marshal Haig reported toaay. rso less man live of thesa blows were struek by the en emy during the night between the Ypres-Menin road ana the northeast cor ner of Polygon wood, tne uritisn com mander in chief stated. All failed in a withering fire from the British rifles, machine guns and the barrage from field pieces, except one dash, which swept over two small advanced posts. These were held tenaciously by the en emy. The same driving desperation in counter blows was reported from Zonne beke to south of the Ypres-Boulers rail way. - Haig declared the enemy had suffer ed very heavy losses in the fruitless at tacks. From the German tactics of almost feverishly inspired counter-attacks plus Haig's silence on his own moves during the past few days, it was confidently predicted here today that another big British drive is impending. The Germans have apparently sensed this and are striving by every means to Trench Inflict Losses. Paris, Oct. 2. Freneh troops threw back with heavy losses to the enemy two strong German attacks around Beau niout, today' official statement assert ed. - Around Craoane and on the right bank of the Meuse the war office reported- an artillery duel. BRITISH AIR RAID. Amsterdam, Oet. 2. British airmen who Sunday night bombarded German stations behind the lines, destroyed fif ten Gotha aeroplanes at St. Denis and Westrom and wrecked a troop train, killing many, according to messages re ceived here today from Bluis. 200 TURKS KILLED. London, Oet. 2. Not only was the Turkish divisional commnader and a great force of his troops taken by Gen eral Maude in tfia recent victory in Mesopotamia, but 20u were killed and thirten guns and 12 machine guns tak en, according to an official statement today.

The fuel ad ministration's order limiting retailer's profits should cut anthracite price generally and lower bituminous prices on certain grades the United Press was informed today. Coke prices should drop throughout the country.' The reductions are .based on investi gation of retailers' profits conducted by federal trade commissioners quietly for the past year in various cities. In New York bituminous coal shoul-l drop fifty cents ncr ton, anthracite 15 to zv cents in tne case or the largest retailer, who supplies half of the do mestic market, officials declared. Chicago should have a seventy five cent reduction in anthracite, with bi tuminous only lightly changed, ex cept on certain grades now bringing abnormal prices. Philadelphia s anthracite prices on broken sizes should drop 30 cents, pea coal 50 to 75 cents. No investigation of far west prices has been completed. All retailers have been asked for reports and state fuel administrators soon will publish price lists for their districts. Instructions ,to this effect were given a score of state controllers todav by federal Fuel Administrator Garfield. Savr. Money for Loaa Lasses SSsggish Market New York, Oct. 2. The New York Evening Sun financial review today said: Today's stock market was weak and sluggish end altogether symptomatic of prevailing conditions within, securi ties circles at their worst, save for a vigorous rally at the close. In the first hour or so there were indeed animated intervals on both buying and selling sides. As has been the case recently, the railroads started the list on the down grade.' The impulse to liquida tion was imparted by orrenngs or col lateral behind foreign loans. Whenev er the railroad department shows on inclination to advance, these offerings are forthcoming, in the railroad situa tion itself there is nothing in particu lar to give confidence that prices for that class of stocks will advance in the near future. Accordingly, offering of foreign collateral forces other liqui dation. Sometimes the industrial list withstands the pressure thus communi cated. It may even advance in apite of it. But just now it is confronted with a more or less widespread idea of many holders that the thing to do ia to sell storks in order to puftbe proceeds in the liberty loan. ' ' Dallas, Charles P.

Here, men are being specially trained to lead; there, the raw recruits 'are being whipped into shape; here, men are learning the art of flying and there drilling with the big guns. It has been a part of the task of Bell System, to supply telephone serv ice and equipment for this important phase of the nation's military activ ity and for the many camps where our citizen-soldiers have been tempor arily concentrated. Each important camp has its special switchboards with a trained oper ating force; pole lines linking even the farthest outposts with headquar ters, and bringing all under direct central control. ' Many new lines have been built to give ample connections with the headquarters of military departments, state capitals and With a National capital. This has required large additions to central office equipment in adjacent towns and cities and large increases in the number of operators. The great military cantonments in various parts of the country now under construction, which will house more than 600,000 men, will require a vast additional amount of telephone apparatus and equipment In addition to the. constantly increasing needs of the Government for. telephone service and equipment, we must also meet the great and grow ing needs of countless industries expanded and accelerated by the war. Only by the most conservative use of every available resource, can these great demands for telephone service be adequately met.

We did not declare war and we have not consented to the work ingmnn giving up his liberty and being drafted." The newspaper Solidarity on August 2, stated: "Anyone with good sense now ob jects to being told that Czar Wilsou is working for the interest of the working class in trying to force theni against their wills into the bloody European slnughterfest. " In another issue it declared: " Then, if war is declared, let us by all means pull off the general strike to prevent it. What is more sim ple f" Otto Christensen, chief counsel for the I. W.
