Russo-Ruman - Armies in Western Wallachia. Berlin, Tuesday, Nov. 21, noon.—(By Wireless to Sayville, Nov. 22). After 'a long silence imposed by the direct ‘wish of General Falkenhayn, who did Bot wish to have any hopes raised by premature accounts of his operations, iptions of the momentous victory of the ’l‘e’:;tongc forces in the battle ot {Tirgupiunty which broke the resistance ‘ot Russo-Rumanian armies in |western Wallachia- and opensd the !way to the Rumanian plain are now available. The battle was fought from INovember 15 to 17 after the German and ~ Austro-Hungarian forces, in a 3 of steady combats, had forced way from the summits of the mountains on the Rumanian-Trausyl- vanian frontier to the foot of the Al- pine regions, mastering the armored turgets of the permanent frontier for- fidntions with _ blg rtars and & the Rumanial resistance wherever it was encountered. Bjected from the wild, mountainous %o the rolling foothills beyond, the Rumanians, who by now had re- ceived heavy Russian reinforcements, alected to on the range of hills running east a®a west and lying south ot Tirgujiulij, the first important town of the mountain. The position was natirally strong and a heavy fog en- abléd the Rumanians to take up their unmolested by the pursuers, The German and Austro-Bulgarian forces attacked them with fervor and after three days of heaviest fighting, crushed their way by frontal attacks through the middle of the Rumanian Mne from the Jiul to the Filort Rivers. The Rumanian losses in the battle are described as very hard. . The German cavalry had been held in feadiness behind the line and the Bquadrons now poured through the breach and raced down through the valley towards the railway thirty miles away, driving before them the fleeing Russfans and Rumanians and break- ing the efforts at resistance of all but the strongest units which- stil held to- gether. ese were hustled on by FRANCE AND RUSSIA ARE IMPORTING CHINESE Number at Work in French Munitions Plants Estimated at 20,000. ‘Washington, Nov. 23.—France and Russia, the American government has learned, are importing thousands of Chinese and IndoChinese to work in munitions . factories and arsenals to free their native workmen for mili- tary duty. The number already put to work in French plants is estimated at 20,000, with 30,000 more under con- traci by permission: of - the Chinese government for four years' service in France. Russia has vontracted for 20,000 of whom 5,500 have reached the country. Most of the Orlentals arp trained ar- tisans, drawing wages in some in- stances as high as five dollars a day. Specially chartered ships are moving them to France, while Russia Is trans- porting them by way of the Siberian Railway. Bristol—Jernie Tracy, young daugh- ter of Mr. and Mra. Rayden W. Tracy, of Summer street, was saved from death yesterday afler swallowing a safety pin. The baby had been left in a crib, but Mrs. Tracy was soon alarmed by her cries. She found the child black in the face. Dr. Hamblin was called and succeeded in removing the pin. The baby's throat was bacly lacerated, but she will apparently suffer no Il effects, pursuing infantry columns which, like the cavalry, made all possible speed to_utilize their advantage. So rapld and unrelentine was the pursuit that on November 19 the cav- alry had reached the Orsova-Craiova railroad line on a breadth of 12 miles from Strehala station to Filliash, an important railroad junction where the line running north ‘toward the moun- tain passes branches from the main Bucharest line.

In the long ago_what is now the business centre of Westerly vil- lage was commonly termed as Pawca- tuck, just as Pawcatuck today is gen- erally referred to as Westerly. In this connection the following from _the Pawcatuck correspondent of the Nor- wich Bulletin, fifty years ago, is of interest: - “Pawcatuck In 1814 was a port of entry and a place of importance. It comprised at that time Westerly, and that part of the town of Stonington bordering on_ the Pawcatuck river. Within the entire district, comprising a territory six miles in length along the river, and three miles in width, there were twelve two-story dwelling houses that had at some time been painted white, and the rést of the res- idences were built of wood, also, and retained their primeval color. The old meeting house on the hill (in rear of the present town hall) was one of native color and the only place of public worship, save occasional ev- ening meetings in the red schoolhouse on the hill. (The site of the present Hibernian ball). Such was the native simplicity of Pawcatuck. “A number of enterprising men from the adjoining towns formed a com- pany and built the great stone mill, (now a part of the plant of the West- erly Textile company) with basement and attic, of selected stone, mostly taken from the Hinckley farm, and worked into the building in different sizes and in their native shape. This building was one of the wonders:of the age, being visited by the Inhabi- tants of the country for miles around, and admired for its size and beauty!" The plan to have a triangular con- test of hand fire engines for prizes, on Thanksgiving day, between ancient fire fighters owned in Westerly, No- ank and Old Mystlc, has been aban- doned. The Westerly Veteran Fire- men's association members were anxious for the squirting contest, be- lieving that their Star can force a stream a greater distance than can any hand engine.in the state of Con- necticut. An admirer of the local organization had offered to put up $30 towards a purse that would have made the contest worth while. The West- erly vets believe that at some date in the good old summer time that ar- rangements can be made for the trian- gular contest, and that thereafier they will become ‘annual events. The Narragansett and Watchemocket fire companies will meet in_ annual contest on Thanksgiving day, at Grosvenordale fleld, _Watchemocket, and “squirt” for the Fales cup, given by Warren R. Fales when he was foreman of the Narragansett company of ‘Riverside. s 722 Thé Chapman farm, so-called, lo- cated on the Shore road, and com- prising over two hundred acres and a substantial farmhouse, which was re- cently purchased by Dr. John Champ- lin, is not to be utilized as a_summer hotel and a wifiter school for boys, but is destined tc become an exclu- sive summer colony. The tract con- tains several miniature ponds, rolling land, plains and wooded land, and the location is one of the most desirable in the section. The, farm house and immediate grounds are to be improved and rented as a summer home and be ready for qccupancy the coming sea- son.” The entire tract is to be sur- veyed, and avenues and building sites plotted. It is the plan to divide the tract in- to estates of twenty-five acres each and dispose of these to be used as private summer homes, which will be on a par with the best in the Watch Hill colony. Large blocks of granite have been quarried in Westerly, but none can compare with the mammoth block of granite quarried at a single blast re- cently at Rockport, Mass. It was 100 feet wide, 100 feet deep and 275 feet long, and the estimated weight 1is 225,000 tons. This is sald to be the largest sinzle blast of granite made in New England, or in the United States.

Burdick, Walter C. Hiscox, Alexan- ér G. Taylor, Charles W. Norman and James B.
