LONDON, Oct. 1.—The Russians by
strong counter attacks have appar-
ently succeeded in halting, for the
moment at least, Von Hindenburg’s
progress against Dvinsk.
Terrific fighting is going on in the
lake district south of the city, while
in the Vilna region and in fact along
the entire front as far south as the
Pripet, scores of separate engage-
ments, all linked into one great bat-
tle, are proceeding.
No further gains of ground are
claimed by Berlin today and a study
of the map shows that Von Hinden-
burg has even Jost some of the terri-
tory previously conquered.
An indication of the great losses
which the Russians continue to sus-
tain is given in an official report is-
sued in Berlin today. It states that
during the month of September alone
96,000 Russians were taken prisoners
and thirty-seven cannon and 298 ma-
chine guns captured by the Germans.
An additional 1160 prisoners taken
by Von Hindenburg in the repulse of
a Russian attack between Smorgon
and Wischnew is reported today,
while farther south 494 Russians fell
into the hands of Prince Leopold’s
Bavarian groups, which are being
vigorously attacked by large Russian
forces in an attempt to halt their ad-
vance on Minsk.
That the new regime in the Russian
army, installed by the Czar when he
personally superseded Grand Duke
Nicholas in command, has not come
up to expectations is indicated in two
significant dispatches passed by the
Russian censor today.
One states that a French militarj
commission, headed by General A. L
d'Amade, former French commander
at the Dardanelles, has reached the
Czar5s readquarters to help direct op-
erations against the Germans. The
other announces the return to power
of General Kuropatkin, who was dis-
graced after his failure as command-
er in chief of the Russian forces in
the Russo-Japanese War. He has
been appointed commander of a gren-
adier corps now serving at the front.
“ W estimated In Berlin that, in-
cluding prisoners, losses to ihe ex-
tent of 300,000 have been, inflicted
on the Russians during September
alone. In addition they have lost the

NEW YORK, Oct. 1—Experts
who have been working on the books
of Harry S. Bradley, missing mail
teller of the Merchant's National Bank
in Wall Street, have placed the
amount of his alleged shortage at
something exceeding $200,000.
Bradley’s vacation was up last
Monday and he was to have returned
to work. On the Thursday previous
his new automobile was found on the
edge of Cove Por.d. near Stamford.
Conn. A $500 reward has been of-
fered.
Bradley’s "system." it is said, was to
appropriate devosits from out-of-town
banks, covering the shortage with still
other deposits when the balance sheets
were made up.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1,—The State
Department has been informed offi-
cially that. Great Britain has sold most
of the packers’ cargoes which were
seized by the English prize court, that
the packers have not been paid for
the cargoes and that the sale by Great
Britain was nvade before the privy
council of England, to which an ap-
peal was taken, had passed upon the
validity of the prize court decree.
Officials of the department say
that this unusual situation is totally
at variance with precedents under in-
ternational law and the customs and
practices of courts which have the
custody of goods in dispute.
The whole proceeding, beginning
with the original seizure of the pack-
ers' ships and cargoes before, as well
as after the issuance of the order in
council. Is to be the subject of the
most vigorous protest yet made by
this Government to Great Britain. The
climax of the illegal act under the
order in council was the seizure of the
Vitalis. In this instance the British
admiralty, in violation of arrange-
ments previously made by the British
government, ordered to a prize court
a vessel which had cleared for Rot-
terdam. with cargo consigned to the
overseas trust.
Special Law Adviser.
Attorneys Charles J. Faulkner and
Henry Veeder of Cbicago, represent-
ing the packers, had a conference to-
day with Acting Secretary of State
Polk Afterward they called on
Chandler Anderson, special interna-
tional law adviser of the State Depart-
ment. who is preparing the protest to
Great Britain The packers’ attor-
neys were furnished with the text of
the decree of the British prize court.
The State Department expects to
receive tomorrow from the packers a
statement setting forth their reasons
for demanding redress through the
State Department it is stated by an
official that the two principal claims
of the packers am;

MRS. KATHER1HE
NEW YORK. Oct. 1.—The pretty
young woman posing as the daughter
of a leading Virgtnia family, who. It
is believed, has been robbing wor-
shippers in Fifth Avenue churches for
several years, has again been arrested.
She was taken into custody after a de-
tective said he had seen her take a
dollar bill from the purse of Mrs. A.
O. Roberts of Boston in the St. Leo's
Roman Catholic Church.
When arrested at St. Patrick’s Ca-
thedral last February on a similar
charge she gave the name of Mrs.
Katherine Fitzhugh, "daughter of one
of the proudest Virginia families."
Now she gives the name of Mrs.
Catherine Northrup, the name she
gave when arrested in the same
church over a year ago for stealing
a $500 gold mesh bag from Miss Dor-
othy W Fisk, daughter of Pliny Fisk,
the banker.
