CLIMAX TO FUNMAKING
TO-NIGHT ON HALLOWEEN
Yama-Yama Girls, Father Times, Ghosts
and Just Plain Masqueraders Will
People the City's Streets in Grand
Celebration
After being hampered by tight
skirts since dame fashion decreej some
years ago that they should be worn, a
hundred or more girls discarded them
Inst night for the unconventional harle
quin suit, or even better than that for
the male garb. What 's more they seem
ed to enjoy it too. Parading back and
forth and stepping up high curbs with
,out any trouble, it wduld seem that
getting back to skiits would require
anew the learning of how ttf walk in
them.
't was only Tick-Tack. the pre-Hal
loween celebration, and what will hap
pen to-night can only be surmised. The
harvest celebration, dividdfl as it now
is into three nights, is arranged for a
climax, to-night being the occasion of
the major effort to mask and "'dress
up." Several impromptu parses were
formed in the central part of the city
with two drums and a cornet for mu
sic. To-night the Democrats will have
a band out and it is safe to say that
hundreds of masqueraders will "join
in.''
There will not be an unused Yama
Yama suit in the city to-night and
there will be some funny combinations,
such as a relic of Shakespeare's days,
topped by a clown's l'ace. There will
bo scores of "ghosts,"—it's easy to
dress up like a ghost,—some Father
Times, —scarcely more difficult, —and
just plain fellows in female garb and
girls m male garb.
The police are contemplating a dif
ficult time but will be on the job. The
day-light force will be compelled to
work overtime. Many complaints wore
sent to police headquarters last night
bnt there were few depredations that
could be found, the crowds generally
being well behaved.
But one accident was reported. Miss
Lillian Eshenour, who is employed by
W. J. Perrin, received some lacerations
of the hip and side when pushed
through a show ease at the Sides &
Sides store in the Commonwealth Hotel
building. She was treated at the Har
risburg hospital, four stitches being re
quired to close the wounds. The show
case had been broken previously and
she was pushed into the jagged edges
of the glass.

RABBIT SEASON ON MONDAY
Greenbacks Piled Nine Inches High in
the Bush To-day to Obtain
Hunters' Licenses
Beginning on Monday the season will
be open for shooting rabbits and quail
in this State. Ten days later the deer
season opens. There are more than
0,000 licensed hunters in this county
and more than 300,000 in the State.
Farmers have plaekarded their land
with trespass signs warning hunters
not to enter upon them and thel-e are
few eases where the game-seekers have
been granted permits to hunt. Gunners
who have had their dogs in training
for two week?i or more say rabbits are
plentiful although the season is a little
warm for such game.
Two clerks in the County Treasury
bejan issuing hunters' licenses at 8
o'clock this morning and from that
time until 11.35 o'clock, neither had
had a minute's rest. More than four
hundred licenses were issued to-day,
bringing the total issued this season in
Dauphin county, up to 6.4 03. That
number is within 800 of the number
issued during the 1913 hunting season
; ending December 31, last. Treasurer
Bailey decided to keep the otlice open
| this afternoon and this evening to re
ceive applications for licenses.
The demands for licenses came so
rapidly this morning that the clerks
did not have time to place the receipts
in the cash drawer. As each license
was issued the dollar bill was swept to
the side of the wjmlow and by noon the
loose greenbacks were piled nine inches
high.

Rumor That German Commanders of
Cruiser Goeban and Breslau Forced
the Situation Without the Authority
of the Turkish Government
London, Oct. 31. 3.55 A. M.—No
declaration of war has yet been made
by either Turkey or Russia and the
suggestion is made from various sources
that the German commanders of the
cruisers Goeboif and Breslau may have
forced the situation without the author
ity of thp Turkish government owing to
Germany's chagrin at the defeat on the
Vistula. According to one report the
entire Turkish fleet left Turkish waters
undefended and the various ships are
now cruising about, on the Russian
coasts. '
The Petrograd correspondent in their
discussion of the situation remark that
the Turkish army i$ not altogether to
be despised, especially as it is entirely
under the comniaud of German officers
of the highest, rank.
Many German Officers in Turkey
The "Times" Petrograd correspond
ent says there are a thousand German
officers in Turkey at the present time.
The commander of the Strait, Colonel
Dc-vor, is a German, wiiile General
Liman Von Sauders commands the Ot
toman troops.
The correspondent of the ''Daily
Mail" in Petrograd says that the Ot
toman Charge d'Affaires is still there
ar,d professes to have no information
regarding the action of his government.
He also declares that tihe Russian Am
bassador at Constantinople has not as
yet been handed his passports by the
Porte which only a few days ago as
sured the Ambassador that Turkey's
neutrality was firm. It is assumed,
this correspondent concludes, that Ger
many has found some means to force
Turkey into the war.
Grand Vizier Not for War
The only message from Constanti
nople up to an early hour to-day was
a delayed Renter telegram sent from
Constantinople on Wednesday before
the recent eventualities changed the
face of affairs.
I The Reuter message declares that war
was farthest from the thoughts of the
I Turkish government. It says:
"The Grand Vizier has renewed his
emphatic assurance to the British Am
bassador that Turkey will not embark
on a war. lie plans to send Hali Bey,
president of the Chamber of Deputies,
on a mission to Berlin, Bucharest and
Vienna. The object of tiie mission is to
obtain a. correct view of the status of
affairs in Europe and to convince Ger
many of the necessity that Turkey shall
not depart from its position of neu
trality. ''

THE CERMANSJM DRIVEN EASTWARD
Continued Prom First Pass.
confirm the unofficial statements of last night, that the
Germans had evacuated Ostend.
In the east tin 1 battle of millions continues without
definite result. An Austrian defeat on the East Prussian
front is reported by the Russian embassy at Washington.
The latest word from the Austrian government is that
reverses have been suffered by the Russians at various
points in Galicia.
Turkey's hostile arts against Russia soon may place
her at War with all of the allied powers. It was said at the
State Department in Washington to-dav that diplomatic
representatives of these powers were preparing to leave
Constantinople.
The German point of view of the Russo-Turkish war is
'presented for the first time in a dispatch from Berlin.
Earlier advices telling of Turkey's attack on Russian ports
and vessels apparently placed the responsibility for hos
tilities on the Porte, but in Berlin it is stated that it was
in reality Russia which started the war. Turkey's action
is said in the German capital to have been a natural se
quence to the "Russian attack on Turkish integrity."
From London came the suggestion that sin«e no formal
declaration of war has vet been made by either Turkey or
Russia, the German commanders of the cruisers jGrocben
and Breslau may have acted without the authority of the
Turkish government in precipitating the war. The Turk
ish army is said to be under the command of high German
annv officers.
SAYS GERMANY DICTATED
TURK BLACK SEA EXPLOIT
Paris, Oct. 31, 4.45. A. M.—Only a
few French paper* dismissed the Black
sen incident and their attitude is calm
and patient while awaiting further de
velopment?. Incidentally it is noted
that A. H. lewolsky, the Russian Am
bassador to France, and Theolophile
Delcnsse, the French Foreign Minister
at Bordeaux, have formally discussed
the event.
The VFigaro" declares that Ger
many evidently dictated the exploit in
order to provoke .11 the Orient what it
hopes will be a diversion and that the
direct responsibility of the Porte does
not yet appea- to have been established.
The "Petit Parisien" says that,
first of all, it is necessary to know if
the sudden, brutal attack has been ap
proved bv a majority of the Ottoman
government. At the same time it calls
attention to the fact that German au
thority over the Young Turk party is
such that theii marine is dominated
by Admiral Souchou and the army by
General Lima:) Von Handera. The oth
er papers counsel calmness and coolness
in examining the situation.

of the campaign waged against him because of his Austrian birth and his
connection with the liotise of Hesse.

Washington, Oct. 31.—The Turkish
Minister of Finance in for hied the
French Ambassador at Constantinople
yesterday that the raid of Turkish wUr

Mr. Morgenthau added that the Rus
