Mountains; Meets Enthusiasm Everywhere; Certain
to Carry the District
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh will
carrv the upper end of Dauphin
county by a handsome majority at the
November elections.
Tha* was demonstrated beyond
doubt during his tour of that district
yesterday on his way to and from the
tirntz fair, where he spoke during the
afternoon.
Never has a candidate been so en
thusiastically greeted by the people
north of the mountains. They literally
flocked to him to shake hands and
promise support.
It was particularly noticeable that
in sections which were strongly Pro
gressive two years ago the demon
strations in favor of the gubernatorial
candidate were verv strong.
From Dauphin, where he made his
first stop, to Millersburg. where he
i oncluded his day's campaign with an
address before the largest political
rally ever held in that town, his trip
was one continuous ovation.
in Millersburg and KHzabethville he
was greeted by real old-time Repub
lican processions, with red light, bands
an'l cheering parties of automobilists.

Just Wants to See Baby Once
Again Before He Goes
Away Forever
The v ears that must go by before |
Martin Fleming can hope to see his j
daughter Katherine would not seem ]
so very, very long even behind the
bars of the Eastern Penitentiary if ,
only he could be sure that the baby
wili not be taught to forget him.
This Is what is worrying the youth
ful father to-day. Within the next
few days Sheriff Harry C. Wells will
take Fleming to Philadelphia to begin
a life sentence in the State's prison
Word of the Pardon Board's action
in commuting his senteni-o from the
death penalty to life imprisonment for
shooting his mother-in-law was taken
to the condemned man in his cell yes- i
terdav by his attorney. William I* {
I,oeser. whose valiant fight saved the J
life of his client. Fleming didn't say
a word, but convulsively clasped the
hands of his attorney and his brother,
Andrew Fleming, who came down
from Altoona yesterday. They re
membered that grip long afterward.
Tlie iMSi Postcard
And now all that Fleming longs for i
is to see his 2-year-old daughter. His
pretty wife steadfastly refuses to per
mit him to see the child.
"If only I could see the little thing
before 1 go away," spoke the father
wistfully. "1 don't think anybody I
who isn't a father can quite under- i
stand just what 1 feel about it. She !
is SUCH a baby, you know. She was |
two years old on Sunday—and T sent j
her a card, but 1 don't know whether {
they will let her see it. I don't sup- i
pose it will be worth while to try it j
again. I don't know why they couldn't j
let me see her just once—l'll be sat- |
isfied with once, if I must —before ]
I go.
His Only Picture
"Why do you know that I haven't'
even got a picture of her? That is j
a regular picture? I've got one that T !
cut out of the paper." and he showed
a little section of the Telegraph of j
nearly a year ago containing the face
of his daughter. This was taken at i
the time of his trial and the childish j
features are almost obliterated from ,
much handling. "But I'm not allowed ;
even a picture of her. Even if I can't j
see her, I'd have the picture of her I
! to take along."
As the Years Go By
! The youngster was only about eight j
months old when Fleming was ar
! rested. lie hasn't seen her since.!
Furthermore, he fears that as the ;
years come and bo the child may for
get him—or worse, be taught not to j
remember him —so that even should j
she grow to an ace when site might
! on her own responsibility visit blm in i
j his cell in the Eastern Penitentiary— j
I she will have forgotten all about him. j
| And Martin Fleming is only 29 j
j years old.

Road-roller methods by the chair

conference held here to-day made it

The Rev. Dr. C. F. Swift, of Beaver,
a legislator and member of the Wash

clared Mr. Kratz out of order.
"Out of order?" said Mr. Kratz. "Is !
it out of order for a free discussion?
j What's the difference between Philip i
i drunk and Philip sober?"
The chairman, who is an official of |
I the State Young Men's Christian As
sociation. with which McCorinick has
I been connected, ruled Kratz out of
| order.
Kratz then threw his resolution on
the table.
The committee then retired and
30-second reports were called for from
i counties. These reports gave the local
j option situation.
Mr. Buckalew said he hoped that
j something would be done in a prac
i tlcal way in the approaching election
jto check the liquor traffic. He re
: marked that he presumed that every
! one had paid his own expenses and

3,000,000 Men Engaged
in Battle Which Rivals
Battle of the Marne
Each Side Is Claiming Slight Advantage; Reports Indicate
That Germans Have Turned Retreat Into Stubborn
Resistance; Toll Said to Be So Staggering That Of
ficials Hesitate to Reveal Figures; Rain and Wind
Add to Discomforts of Soldiers
London, Sept. 17, 2.40 P. M.—ln a dispatch from
Paris the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says
that the Italian reservists in the French capital have
been called for September 28. They believe the corre
spondent says, that this means Italy's entrance into
the war.
The third day of the battle of the Aistie finds the. hosts of the
Germans and the allies facing each other along a line of some 200
miles stretching from Noyon, fifty-five miles northeast of Paris,
southeast to the Swiss frontier.
The battle line proper extends roughly from Noyon to Nancy,
about 150 miles. Here between 2,000,000 and 3,000.000 men are en
gaged in a struggle that inferiority and strategic importance bids
fair to rival the battle of the Marne.
Each side claims a slight advantage—and no inorc. It is known
only that the German retreat has been turned into a stubborn resist
ance. The allies assert that they were so close on the heels of the
Germans that the latter were compelled to turn about and fight to
escape destruction. German reports represent their armies as
reforming in strong positions following the withdrawal from the
vicinity of Paris and again taking the offensive.
Thus far death is the only decided victory. It is admitted that
his toll al r ?ady is enormous—so straggering that official sources
hesitate to reveal the figures. Rain continues falling on the battle
field and has rendered parts of it impassable for gnns and cavalry
while adding greatly to the distress of the men. This afternoon's
official announcement at Paris says that a great battle continues all
along the river Aisne and that the Germans are slowly giving way.
Conflicting reports of the situation in the eastern theater of the
war are received from official and unofficial sources. The several
German army corps sent into East Prussia appear to have pushed
back the Russian invaders of that territory with great loss to the
Russians. It is thought that a part of the German force may be
diverted to Russian Poland.
In Galicia the Russian successes seem to be continued with the
Austrians and Germans falling back on Przemysl. Enormous losses
to the Austrians arc admitted at Vienna to which city thousands of
wounded are being brought.
The latest official announcement at Nish claims less for the
Servian armies than have earlier statements indicating that Austria
still has considerable forces available to oppose the Servians. The
Servians however, with the aid of their Montenegrin allies appear
to be more than holding their own.
The most recent word from the Ear East described the Japanese
troops as struggling through the flooded north of Shan' Tung
peninsula trying to reach Kiao-Chow. There is no indication of an
early investment of that German stronghold.
The Turkish army is reported from Petrograd to be concen
trating on the Bulgarian frontier.
The final attitude of Italy is awaited with intense interest.
Demonstrations in favor of the allies at Rome and other places have
been suppressed bv the military. Meantime Italy is engaged with the
serious situation in Albania where the insurgents have been threaten
ing since the withdrawal of Prince William of VVied. Italian troops
alreadv have been landed at Avlona.

Grosvenor Square. In which neighbor
hood are' located the Spanish and
Brazilian Kmbassies and the Danish
and Belgian I-egations. He is renting
the building formerly used by tho
Japanese Kmbassy. It contains forty

use The landlord increased the rent
of the old offices at 123 Victoria street,
while the new offices are more com

offered at a reasonable rate.
The offices being used at present by
the American Kmbassy will be taken
over temporarily by the American resi
dents' relief committee and by the
American Money Transfer Commission,
which organizations will combine their
work, and surrender their quarters at
the Savoy Hotel.
Henry S. Breckenrldge, the American
Assistant Secretary of War, is uncer
tains as to how long the American
army officers will be held In Ijondon
directing the relief work. He thinks
the American tourists are now well out
of Europe, excepting those in the re
mote sections of the Continent.
Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the
American ftesident Relief Committee,
and other prominent workers In this
field, believe that many German-Ameri
can tourists now in Germany will leave
the country when the actual war news
reaches them.
Tourists coming from Germany say
that virtually all the news printed
there Is favorable to the German army
and that visitors have no knowledge of
