Municipal Markets Prepare for
Another Big Sale at Six
Cent Rate.
Ten thousand pounds of fresh fish
has been contracted for on behalf of
Mayor Haussllng by City Sealer John
H. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan went to
Belford last Saturday and arranged
to have the shipment deliveied in this
city for public sale next Thursday
and Friday.
Tills is double the amount that was
sold at ithe opening of the three city
markets last ween. If the 10,000
Pounds is not sufficient to meet the
demand, the city sealer stands read''
to double It on his next trip to the
Raritan hay pound nets.
In order that the fish shipment tills
week, may be positively fresh, they
will be shipped in two lots.
The catch tonight will be
taaen from the pound nets
off Sandy Hook bay early tomorrow
and plated in the hold of the large
sloop, into which will he thrown u
ton of cracked tee. The sloop will
leave the pound nets about 9 a. m.,
arriving In Newark at 3 p. m., and
will be ready for sale Thursday morn
ing. While the first shipment of
ibout 5,000 pounds Is being sold at
the municipal markets, the sloop will
return for another load, arriving back
here Thursday ufternoon.
tircater Variety.
There Is apt to be a greater variety
among the tish to be received. Small
bluefish and large porgies are run
ning. These, with weaklish, lafay
ottes, fluke and kinglish, will consti
tute the shipments.
It is the city sealer’s intention to
Rell the entire lot at six cents a pound,
at which price he expects to come out
clear, as was the case with the last
5,000 pounds.
Many of the skeptics In this city
a Hllculed the idea that the city
sc itid his men could successfully
Uu. such a shipment without a
monetary loss are now thinking en
tirely different. Much credit has been
given to the weights and measures
department lor the competent man
ner in which they handled the matter
from the beginning to the end.
A representative of the Evening
Star visited Centre Market last Fri
day afternoon and interviewed several
of the largest fish dealers. One and
all stated that the opening of the
municipal markets in no way affected
their business, but It rather increased
the sale of fish, especially on Friday.
One of them said lie was positive that
it would be a good thing for them, as
it would increase the buyers from
among those who never visit Centre
Market or any other place for fish.
The majority of the orders handled
through Centre Market dealers ar»
from telephone owners, restaurants,
hotel-keepers and club chefs, with a
sprinkling of people who desire large
fish, such as big blues, Spanish
niacherel, bonito, sturgeon, cod and
haddock. Such fish as the,sc cannot
be handled in the municipal market,
because they come from the Eastern
fisheries and are handled solely
through the middlemen of New York
•city, who deal direct with the fish
dealers.
During the conversation that the
representative of The Star had with

ROME, via London, Sept. 8.—Ac
cording to a dispatch from Berlin to
Hie Messaggero a serious controversy
has arisen between the German em
peror and Chancellor von Bethinunn
Tlollweg and Minister of Foreign Af
fairs von Jagow, the two ministers
being regarded us responsible for the
unreadiness of German diplomacy
which led to the coalition of, Euro
pean States against Germany.
It is reported, according to the pub
lished dispatch, that their resigna
tions have been tendered.
Today from 1 o'Clock Until 9
P. M. District Boards
Are Sitting.

27—Other Features.
From 1 o'clock this afternoon un
til 9 o'clock tonight the election
boards in every district in Newark
and other municipalities of Essex
county having a population of 5,000
or over are sitting to register voters
for the primary election on Septem
ber 22 and for the general election
on November 3.
The subdivisions of the coun
ty, where prospective voters need
not appear to register, are: Cald

in these places met at 1 o’clock to
day and arranged preliminaries for
conducting the house-to-house can
vass.
There will be two other registra
tion days for municipalities of the
5,000 and over population class. These
are September 22, which is primary
day throughout the county and State,
and October 20. For sections of tho
lower classification, October 27 will
be final registration day.
Names Carried Over.
Citizens who voted at the lest gen
eral election in November, 1913, need
not register today in order to be
eligible to cast their ballots at the
primary election on September 22.
Their names will be carried over for
the primaries, but just here their
! privilege ends. They will not be cqr
' rled from the November, 1913, voting
list to the November. 1914, voting
j list with voting rights. The direc
tions are clear enough.
A first voter, or any person who
' did not vote at the last general elec
tion, may register today for the
primaries and the coming general
election. To vote at the primaries
a voter must be registered "prior to
the primaries,” unless his nuine be
carried over from November, 1913. In
order to be qualified to vote at the
general election, November 3 next,'
citizens must register specially for
the general election. They may do
that today,- on September 22 or on

inated from the lists in the districts
where they previously voted, and en- j
tered upon those of the districts em
bracing their present living ad
dresses.
On September 22, primary day, the
prills will be open from 7 o’clock in
the morning until 9 o’clock at night.
Citizens who voted last November
may vote at Hie primary and then
register for the general election.
On October 20 final registration
day, the election board will sit to
register voters from 1 o’clock in the
afternoon until 9 o’clock at night.
Questions .Must be Answered.
Election board members express the
hope that the questions the law re
quires them to put to persons regis
tering will be answered promptly
and without quibbling. This would
save time, trouble and confusion.
Many wrangle with the election offi
cers when asked questions, declare ,t
is “none of the officers' business." :
that they are insolent and imperti
nent in asking them, and all that. The
plain fact remains that the questions
must be answered or the applicant
will not be registered and will, there
fore, lose his vote.
It, is no concern of the election
board whether the questions are an
swered. The law says they must be
or there will be no registering of the
stubborn person.
These are the questions put: Name?
Address? Age? Where do you live?
Do you own your own home? If not,
who's your landlord? How long have
you lived in the State, county and
city?
Where to Register.

“Whereas, great nations of the

TODAY’S WAR MOVES
(iKItMANV—Uncensored dispatches sent hy courier from the Ger
man front describe the German campaign against France as one of tlie*
greatest offensive campaigns in the history of the world. It is stated
that tlie German campaign against Russia is proceeding under most fa
vorable auspices, ami that heavy reinforcements are being rushed to
attack the Russians.
AUSTRIA—It is reported thousands of men are reconstructing earth
works and mounting guns in the vicinity of both Vienna ami Hilda Pest,
apparently in anticipation of a Russian invasion reaching those cities.
Reports via Swiss sources say Germany lias rejected Austria's request
for a loan.
ENGLAND—It is officially announced that the French-Brltish at
tack on the German right w ing lias already resulted in sweeping successes
and that the Germans are being driven bark. The war office permitted
publication of a report that 250,000 Russians are fighting in France, but
refused to confirm it.
FRANCE—It is admitted that Germany lias staked continuation
of her offensive campaign on the battle now in progress. Although the
German right wing is being driven back with heavy loss by the combined
British-French forces, unless the French centre and right hold against
a combined German assault by three complete armies, the success -will
have ho significance, while if the German centre breaks the French lines
the allies will have to retreat on Baris.
RUSSIA—Continued successes are reported in eastern Galicia and
in Russian Boland, where the main Austrian armies are said to lie heavily
pressed and in danger of annihilation. The Russians are reported to
have crossed the San river. No lighting of consequence is in progress
in East Prussia.
BELGIUM—The German government lias ordered the people of
Liege to remain indoors, which is construed us indicating that a general
movement of German troops toward the Russian frontier from France
and Belgium has begun.
HKRV1A—Servian invasion of Austria by three armies under com
mand of crown prince lias begun. (

IN FRANCE, IT IS REPORTED
Servian Invasion of Austria Begins--Mon
tenegrins Defeated with Heavy Losses,
Declares Austrian War Office.
News from (he war zone was comparatively meagre today, but re
ports from London and I’aris tended to show there has been heavy fight
ing east of Paris. The Knglisli and French dispatches assert that the
Germans have fallen back before the attack of the uilies all along the
140-mile buttle line. Tills is accepted in London and Paris to mean
| that the Germans have met with reverses, but experts figure that the
situation is of such a nature that it will take a decisive battle to reveal
whether the German strategists art; busy or not. It is generally believed
that now that the Germans are within easy striking distance of Paris,
they will direct their efforts to getting rid of the alliod armies before
attempting a siege of the French capital.
The French war office declares that the uilies' left wing, which in
cludes the British forces, is still continuing its advance nguinst the Ger
man right wing. Decided successes nre claimed against the Germans at
Gils point, the invaders suffering heavily in attempting to cross the River
Marne.
Fierro lighting is reported on the centre, where the Germans ure
striking hardest, but the French claim that nowhere have tlio allies given
ground.
A report which passed the French and llritisli censors says 350,000
Russiun troops have been landed in France, presumably with the object
of Dunking the Germans in Belgian territory.
In the eastern theatre of war the Russians, following their brilliant
success at Lemberg, the cupital of Austrian Galicia, are throwing their
forces against tlio first Austrian army, which for throe days lias been
desperately trying to break through the Russian line between Lublin and
Kliolm. Details of the lighting around Lemberg contain the statement
that the Russians took M3,OOt> Austrian prisoners.
On the other hand, advices received from Berlin hy the German em
bassy at Washington say that the Austrian eastern artny advancing on
Russian territory repulsed a violent Russian attack ami captured «0O
prisoners.
By the United Press:
PAMS, Hept. H.—la an official announcement telegraphed from llor

"In the general battle the Germuns ure being forced back all along
the line.
"Violent encounters have occurred on the French centre between
Fere-Champenolse and V11ry-Le-Francols, at the southern point of the
Forest <d' Argonne. The French huve fallen back nowhere. The Ger
mans have lost ground."
By the United Press:
PARIS, Sept. H.—Minister (•alien! lias received a dispatch from Bor
deaux announcing that in Its review of (lie situation at noon the French
war office announced that the offensive movement of the allied armies
against the German right wing continues with uninterrupted success.
It is stated tli.it General .loffre reports that the progress of battle Is favor
able to the allied forces. It is stnted that there can hurdly be any de
cisive result for several days.
Very little news of the progress of the lighting bus reached Paris,
hut that little was favorable. It is declared the British and Freneli col
umns were slowly but surely driving the German lines buck, inflicting
heavy losses. The Germans are making a desperate stand while await
Ing the arrival of reinforcements, but it is stnted that since the tight lug
actually began their front bus been shoved buck seven miles. The British
regulars are doing great execution.
As a result of tills style of fighting the Britisii lines are now ill po
sitions lliut were yesterday held by the Germans. It is stated that the
French are co-operating splendidly with the British and are shewing a
better spirit Gum at any time since Uie initial lighting in the north com
menced.
“The French centre lietween La Fre-Vitry-Le Francois and the
points south of the Argonne forest has attacked furiously Gie German
lines, and the enemy lias been compelled to fall back and practically at
Vitry.
“The Germans inudc a strong attack on the Freneli right, on the
lino from Chaieux-Sallne to Nancy, but were repulsed with heavy losses
to the south of ttie forest of Chutnpeineaux. The French by a series of
offensive operations have retaken Gie crest of St. Mandray and the peak
of Jourliaus in the Vosges.
“There has lieen no modification of the Freneli positions in Alsace.
“Tlie left wing of the allied armies, including the defense of Paris,
is now engaged wlili lighting almost continuous from the Biver Oureq
region to Montiaril, on the Petit Morin river, about twenty-eight miles
southeast of the capita].'*
By the United Press:
VIENNA, via Home, Sept. 8.—It is announced that an Austrian army
of 75,(*00 men lias defeated the Montenegrin troops in Mclaga with enor
mous losses. The Austrians are now concentrating for an invasion of
Montenegro.
By the Associated Press:
HOME, via London, Sept. 8.—According to tile Home Trihuiia there
is in France today a total of 250,000 Russian troops. This newspaper
attributes Emperor William's presence in Metz to this concentration of
tho Russians.
The steamer Mauretania, which reached New York September 8,
brought reports to this country of an extensive lauding of Russian troops
at French ports. The Hritish censorship prevented the transmission of
tills intelligence by cable, and for this reason the news had to come by
word of mouth nud by mail.
Late news from London dated August 27 corroborated the reports
of the Maurtanla passengers. From these two sources it was gathered
that England had placed more than 80,000 Russiun troops in France by
means of transports sent north of (ho Scandinavian peninsula to Arch
angel, where the Russians embarked. The movement was surrounded
with the greatest secrecy. According to one version, the Russians were
