TURKEY IN MIDST OF WAR ISSUES CALL TO ARMS
1 '"'
CALLING UP RESERVES—TURKISH BUGLERS SOUNDING A CALL FROM THE ROOFTOPS
LUTE WAR NEWS SUMMARY!
If the official reports of the Rus
sians are correct, the tide of the great
battle in Poland has turned in their fa
vor. How important tie change is and
to what extent it will influence future
operations in the struggle between Bus
sla and Germany was not apparent to
! day.
The Russian War Office, whose state
ments were vague and non-committal
for several days, when the tension was
running highest and the Germans, to
all accounts, were pressing swiftly to
ward Warsaw, made to-day its first defi
nite announcement concerning the cru
cial battle. It stated that betweeu the
Vistula and the Warta rivers the Ger
mans had retreated. Germany's latest
official statement gave this partial con
firmation by saying that the arrival of
Russian reinforcements had postponed
the decision. There was, however, no
hint in this statement of a retreat.
In the war with Turkey also Russia
claims the advantage. The forces
which pushed down through the Cau
, casus into Turkey, which Petrograd
admitted a few days ago had been
compelled to retreat, are now said to
have resumed the offensive and to be 1
pushing on toward Erzerum. a Turkish
city near the eastern end of the Black
sea. A Turkish column was there put
to root, the general staff of the army of
the Caucasus announces. It states also
that the Turks were defeated in two
engagements in northern Persia.
IB the »Mt the opposing armies stil 1
held to "the positions which they hare
maintained with few changes for the
last two months. Here and there along
the SOO-mile line—notably at Ypres
and Soissons, and in the Argonne—
there was spirited fighting, but appar
ently with no results other than mo
mentary advantages for one side or the
other.
Germany scouts the idea that she is
1 desirous of making peace. The semi
official Cologne '-Gazette" character
izes reports of this nature as belonging

BOMB DAMMS AMERICAN
CONSULATE AT WARSAW: I
SEVERAL PEOPLE RILLED'
Washington. Nov. 24.—A bomb from !
a German airship fell in front of the
American consulate at Warsaw early to
day, breaking the windows at the con
sulate, but injuring no one within, ac
i cording to a telegram, dated to-day.
from American Ambassador Ma rye at |
I Petrograd. Several persons in the I
street in front of the consulate were
killed and wounded, but none of them i
were Americans.
The incident was. regarded here as
i indicating the proximity of the Ger
man advance guard to Warsaw. Amer
-1 ican consuls received instructions earlv !
in the war to leave zones of great dan
ger whenever invading forces arrived :»i '
their vicinity. It is expected here that
, if Warsaw becomes a battle ground of
the German and Russiau armies the •
American consul and his staff will with- j
draw to a place of safety.
REPORT INFANTRY ATTACKS
BY GERMANS AS REPULSED
Paris, Nov. 24, 1.47 P. M.—The of
ficial statement given out in Paris this
afternoon says that, generally speak
ing, the situation on November 23!
showed no changes of importance. The 1
text of the communication follows:
"Speaking generally it may be said
that the situation during the day of |
November 23, has showed no import-!
ant changes.
"Along the greater part of the front
the enemy manifested his activity j
particularly by an intermittent can-;
nonale which was, however, less spirit-,
ei than on the preceding day. Never- :
theless there were here and there some
infantry attacks, all of which were re- '
pulsed. As we have come to expect,!
these attacks were particularly violent
in the Argonne where we gained some ; ,
territory and in the region "of Four-de- : ,
Paris.
"There is nothing to report between!
the Argonne and the Vosges, and fur-i
thermore a very heavy fog has inter- : '
fered with operations." The sanitary j<
conditions of the troops are favor- I
able." '

which was comparatively new, having
been ere ted just four years ago, will
run close to $3,000, but is covered by
insurance.
The Camp Hill Pire Company re

a pile of hay, was the cause of to-dav's

Sowers at 5.30 o'clock this morning
went to the barn to feed the cattle an I
do other work. He hung the lighted

TREE ABLAZE HALF WAY I P
Chemical Engine and Hook and Ladder
Answer Alarm from Bailey Home
Just after dark last evening flames
were discovered twenty feet from the
ground in a stately old elm tree on the
lawn between the residences of Edward
Bailey and George W. Reily, Front
street above Reily, and a telephone call
was serrt to the Reily Hose Company,
which responded promptly with a hook
and ladder truck and a chemical engine
—enough men and apparatus to stop a
forest fire.
Attempts first were made to put out
the blaze by the use of a small chem
ical extinguisher in the hands of a fire
man who climbed the tree with the aid
of a ladder, but this plan of attack
subsequently was abandoned and a plug
stream, directed from the ground, made
short work of the blaze, which was a
spectacular one in the semi-darkness.
The burning tree was close to the
Bailey home and the wind was carry
ing sparks in that direction. No one
was able to explain how the tree took

San Francisco, Nov. 24.—The steam

to-day with fifty-eight souls aboard.
Three passengers and two seamen s./am
ashore. Thirteen other persons were
rescued, including Captain J. J. Carry,
of the Hanalei. There seemed small
hope for any others.
The schooner, which had been pound
ed by the surf since yesterday noon
when shr ran ashore in a fog, went to
pieces. Her bow, which hung over the
reef and had been twisted to a right
angle, slid into the water and drifted
to within 100 yards of the beach. The
quintet, who first came ashore, swam
from this wreckage.
A few more hours would have saved
every soul aboard. An hour would have
saved many. After all hope had been
given up ashore and on board the wreck
the sixth line fired by the Golden Gate
Park lifesaving crew, under Captain
Norman Nelson, went over the vessel.
A breeches buoy was rigged and then
the line parted. Almost immediately
thereafter the Hanalei broke apart amid
cries which rose above the thunder of
the surf.

Three candidates for the position of!

Robert H. Thomas, of Mechanics- i
burg, has announced his candidacy, an !
is looking for the backing of many of
the grangers. Algernon S. Martin, the
present Deputy Secretary of Agricul
ture, is also an aspirant, and has a rec
ord that his friends say cannot be sur
passed. He is regarded as the guiding
spirit and originator of the
institutes that have done so much to
bring the farmers to a realization of

vision of the holding of county fairs
j and educational features of the depart
j inent.
Mr. Martin hails from Lawrence
I county, where he has a farm, and i« a

is connected with a number of national
I agricultural associations.
George G. Hutchinson, of Warrior's
I Mark, Huntingdon county, who has
for years been connected with the

Chief Roderick's illness is that of the
ten attaches of the Department of
Mines five have been operated on in
different hospitals in the last year.
