GREEK FORTRESS
Italians and Russians Make
First Sortie Into Hel
' lenic Territory
PROTEST VAINLY MADE
ROAIE, Jan. 29. Severe storms arc
"aging in Albania, and the Austro
Hungarian advance upon Durazzo lias
iccn delayed, according to reports re
clvcd here today. In the meantime,
Vustrian agents arc reported to be
rying to gain the friendship of Essad
nsha, leader of the Albanian na
tionalists, who has gathered large
forces south of Durazzo.
LONDON, Jan. ID.
An expedition of marines from French,
British, nueslun and Italian warships nt
laybrcak Friday occupied the Greek fort
jf Knrabar over the protest of the Greek
commander, according to Salonlca dis
patches today.
The news caused great excitement today
because It marked the first appcaranco
of Italian and Ilusslan armed forces on
Greek soil.
The 'allied warships approached the i
peninsula at daybreak. Several Italian
units and one Ilusslan warship were In J
the squadron. They quickly put boats
ashore with 2000 marines and sent a mes- I
sage to the Greek commander, notifying
him of their Intention to occupy tho fort.
The commander replied with a note of
protest, but withdrew his troops. French
Infantry then participated In the search
of surrounding buildings, ordering their
Inhabitants to ovacuate.
The landing was made. It was stated,
through belief that Austro-Gcrman sub
marines had been obtaining supplies on
tho peninsula and also for strategic
reasons.
Several Greek officials, who voiced pro
tests today against tho landing, declared
that the Anglo-French commanders per
suaded Italian and Russian officers to
send their marines ashore for tho purposo
of Intimidating the Greeks by a show
of colors of all members of the quadruple
Entente. They expressed surprise at the
presenco of the Italian and Russian war
ships which had not appeared In Greek
waters before.
ROME. Jan. 23. ,'I would not be sur
prised," said a neutral diplomatist here
today, "If before long King Constantlne
of Greece passes through Rome en route
for France, there to Join the King of
Montenegro In exile."
Startling as this announcement may
eem on the face of It, It Indicates the
general tendency of opinion In political
circles here. Sensational developments
arc expected shortly In the Hellenic king
dom. King Constantlne's decision to proclaim
martial law was opposed by several Min
isters, who have threatened to resign.
Their object, reports from Athens say.
Is to provoke a crisis, which would Inev
itably lead to the return of ex-I'remlcr
Venlzclos. The Ministers' opposition to
martial law Is said to be prompted by
their conversion to tho Allies' cause.
The postponement of the new session of
Parliament and the abandonment of the
speech from the throne are attributed to
complications In the situation, which Is
still further aggravated by King Con
stantlne's Interviews antagonistic to tho
Allies.
Tho neutral diplomatist who today fore
shadowed an involuntary trip by King
Constantino to France added that he had
reason to believe that the exile of the
Montenegrin King and his family was not
voluntary, but had been decided upon by
the Allies.
It was the first land action in which
armed forces of all the four allied Powers
have participated since the beginning of
the war.
The fort Is located on the Peninsula at
the eastern entrance to the head of the
Gulf of Satontcai
A Russian cruiser, operating in the Pa
cific at the outbreak of the war. Joined
the allied fleet at the Dardanelles several
months ago. Presumably this is the ves
sel whose marines participated In the ac
tion on the Greek coast.
GERMANS TAKE ARTOIS
TRENCH IN RIG DRIVE
Continued from 1'anr Onr
mine engagements have orruricd. On tho
Combrea heights of the Meuse River a
French mine did only slight dumago to
the advanced German trenches. The en
emy was forced to withdraw after an
attempt to occupy the mine crater, suf
fering heavy losses. South of Apremont
Forest an enemy aeroplane was shot
down by German artillery, the pilot
killed and the observer injured.
"It Is now established that In the air
rnld on Freiburg Thursday night one sol
dier and two civilians were Injured, but
only slight damage was done."

PAWS, Jan. 2). After several lioura'

GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH WEDS
HIS WARD AND COUSIN TODAY
Continued from I'liue One
bad bis chauffeur speed up resardless of .
laws.
' Only today It wns learned that Gov
ernor Brumbaugh intended to wed nffnln,
I nltlioiiRh tho license for tho marriage
I was taken out last Thursday.
I The effort to Keep tho fact a secret
was strenuous. Governor Brumbaugh and
his brldo waited In tho offlco of the
Attorney Gcnornl of the State. Francis
Shunk Drown, while Chief Clerk Fergu
son of the MarrlOEo License Bureau took
the necessary blanks from City Itall to
the Morris Uiilldini,-, nnd there obtained
the Information the State requires.
It was heie that the Governor affirmed
that a blood relationship did exist be
tween Miss Parks and himself
There is a question In the blank forms
which asks whether the couple are re
lated. The Governor, answering It. said
Miss Parks was his fifth degree cousin.
Chief Kerxuson did not brine back the
record of the license to his office, and
tho entry will not be regularly made until
Monday.
The Governor, In giving his address,
said HarrlsburK. Miss Parks gave Si:
West Walnut lane, which Is the Gover
nor's Germantown home, and has been
for years Her father la George Parks,
of Kntriltin. 1'a. Her mother Is dead.
MINISTEH IS SILENT.
The secrecy which characterized the Is
suance of the marriage license was the
rule today regarding the ceremony also.
The Itev. Mr. Kuns admitted that he was
going to help perform the ceremony, but
he steadfastly refused to give details as
to time and place.
"You will have to get in touch with
the Governor at his home In West Walnut
lane," he said "I am the Governor's
pastor and am not permitted to say any
thing "
At the Governor's home a colored serv
ant Bald both the Governor and Miss
Parks had motored away at 9 o'clock this
morning, and had not been heard from
since. The maid said shp knew nothing
of any wedding plans, and neighbors were
equally at sea. That was not at all unlike
ly, however, for the Governor took -very
few Into his confidence. Mr. Brown, his
Attorney General, and William It. Ball,
his secretary, seem to have been the only
ones apprised of his Intentions, and they
were needed, Mr. Brown In connection
with obtaining the license quietly, and
Mr. Ball to make arrangements with the
ministers. This he did yesterday, going
rlrst to the Itev. Frank S. Kuntz, of tho
Lutheran Church of the Apostles, before
he was directed by the Rev, George Billing
Kuns for whom he was searching.
BRIDK IS "STATELY."
Governor Brumbaugh frequently re
ferred to Miss Parks, said an Intimate
friend of ids today, as "a girl with com
mon sense."
This friend said she "was a handy girl
around the house " When the first Mrs.

SURPRISE ATTACK

Artillery Booms Along Line
Prom Riga to

ACTION NEAR DVINSK
LONDON. Jan. 20.
All along Ih lino from RlRa to Ilukowlna
there have been artillery bombardments
nnd here and there Infantry nttacks by
tho Russlatis and tho Germans nnd Alls-tro-nungarlans.
Pctrograd reports a sur
prise attack near Iluczaoz, Gallcla, by the
Russian, In which a large party of Ten
tons wan put to flight after having suf
fered heavv tosses, nnd also tho capture
of three mine craters by the Russians
north of Hoyan.
The Austrian and German official re
ports, on the other hand, clnlm certain
successes. A statement Issued at the
war headquarters In Vienna yesterday
says that a Russian advance position In
southeastci n Gattcla has been taken by
surprise by the Austilans, who drove out
the occupnnts of the trenches nnd took
most of them prisoners.
A Gorman olllclal announces that "on
both sides of tho river south of Dvlnsk
there were minor en. ngements, in which
wo enntured a number of prisoners nnd
n quantity of materials."
ni:v imivt: on riga.
Dispatches from Kiev report that Ger
man prisoners captured In battle In tluko
win nsaert extensive preparations arc
being mndo by the Austrian and Hermans ,
to prevent a furtner uussian niivanru ju
that section of the front. It Is wild somo
of the chief railway linos of Austria and
Germany have boon closed to passenger
traffic on account of tho movement of
large bodies of troops or workmen and
great quantities of supplies to Hukowlna.
A fortnight ago great numbers of heavy
and light field pieces and of machine guns
were brought up. Platforms for the heavy
guuti are being constructed by thousands
of workmen sent to the front especially
for the tnrk. Hundreds of carloads of
cement and steel have been rushed to the
vicinity of Czernowltz.
Tho prisoners state that as soon as guns
are Installed the number of troops Is re
duced to the minimum, tho men with
drawn being sent back on the returning
munitions trulns. It Is estimated that
only half the number of men employed
hitherto nrc facing the Russians In these
sections, but that the number of guns Is
three times as largo bs it wns formeily.
The destination of the German nnd Aus
trian troops withdrawn from tho Huko
wlna front Is, of course, unknown here;
but the general opinion expicsscd by tho
prisoners Is that they are intended to re
inforce tho German position In the Riga
and Dvlnsk sections, whole an offensive
on a large scale Is looked for.
SLAVS PRKDICT ACTION
Karly renewal of military activity along
the northern end of the Russian front Is
fo -pi-nut by Russian military critics. Their
expectation Is IihmmI In part on the un
usual activity of German aircraft In re
connoitring the Russian lines. Not only
noioplnne.s but Zeppelins aie being cm
ploed. This activity. In connection with infor
mation concerning removal of German
troops from Dukowln.i, leads to tho belief
that the Germans may bo preparing an
offensive In tho north for tho purpose of
countering the Russian attack at tho
south.
Along the Strlpa River tho artillery fire
of Austro-Germ.ms Is increasing dally In
Intensity, nnd It is assumed they are pro
paring an offensive under cover of tho
bombardment.

Always she was much In touch with
the Governor, and In his days as super
intendent of sihoolB called frequently nt
the City Hall, and later at tho Stock Ux
change when the offices went moved.
Tho friend who gave tills information
said Unit the popular understanding that
Miss Parka was a distant relative of the
Governor was wrong; that Mie was not
related In any way. That Impression was
very general, however, said tho Inform
ant, and prevailed also ast summer when
tho Governor made his long trip to the
Panama-Pacific Imposition on which
journey sho accompanied him.
Tho action of the Governor did not
greatly surprise his friends. For tho last
year rumors havo crowded ono another
heralding his Intention to marry, but not
until todny was Miss Parks mentioned In
that connection. Tho namo of a Phila
delphia schoolteacher. Miss Mary C,
Peacock, of Torrcsdale, had heretofore
always been mentioned ns the object of
the Governor's attentions.
A year ago, when tho battleship Penn
sylvania was launched at Newport News,
everybody remarked the assiduous atten
tion Governor Brumbaugh paid to Miss
Elizabeth Kolb, daughter of Louts J
Kolb, his closest personal friend. He
chose her from the State to represent
this Commonewolth at tho christening of
tho dreadnought, and, In his announce
ment of the choice, ho called her "tho
sweetest girl In Pennsylvania."
This Is Miss Kolb's COth birthday and
tonight she Is giving u dinner party. It
is supposed that Governor Brumbaugh
and bis bride will bo there.
The friend's positive declaration that
Governor Brumbaugh and Miss Parks aro
not related in the slightest degree is con
tradicted In part by the Governor's state
ment to the marriage license clerk that
Miss Parks Is u "fifth degree cousin."
GOVEHNOIVS FIRST WIFE.
Tho Governor's first wife died the morn
ing of June 29, 1911, shortly after Doctor
Brumbaugh had been made the nominee
of the Republican party for Governor.
She died at 25 1 West Walnut lane, the
Germantown home.
At the bedside then were her husband,
a son, Edward, and a daughter. Mabel.
A long Illness had preceded her death.
Mrs. Brumbaugh wns a woman of
simple tastes. She was modest and un
assuming, and even during her husband's
long service as Superintendent of
Schools, which often took him out in
public, she remained In her own quiet
little circle, and used to say that In the
event of his election she expected to lead
the same kind of life. She lived com
pletely for her family, and her only out
side activities were In church and char
itable work.
Like her husband, she came of German
stock. Her maiden name was Anna
Konlsrmacher. born at KDhrsta. ljinpnstAi
County She married Mr Brumbaugh In
181. shortly after which he became Su
perintendent of Schools of Huntingdon
lounty He was only S ears old then.

"THRIFT DAY" IS ONLY
FOUR DAYS OFF, WHEN
SUNDAY ISN'T COUNTED
The Question Is Purely One of
Economics, so Religion
Should Not Be Allowed
to Enter Into It
BANKERS APPROVE IDEA
Some Facts
About
Thrift Day"
Thrift Day, Februnry 3, is only
four days ofT, not counting Sun
dny. Its founder says Sundny ought
not count; tho iden Is economic,
not religious, ho says.
Country bnnkcr approves It In
these times of "preparedness."
Bankers everywhere are co-operating
in urging observance.
No money will be spent; it would
bo n bnd example.
"Thrift Day" Is only live days off; only
four If you don't count Sunday, nnd you
shouldn't.
The m a n w h o
thought of having n
"Thrift Uny" nil
over the United
.Statei nnd picked
Thursday, February
3, for It, recounted
nn Incident In con
nection with tho
preparation for that
tiny to show why
hn was against Unking it up with Sunday.
G. V. Clement Is tho man, and this Is
what he said In that connection:
"Out in Chicago Is a banker who Is
very much Interested In 'Thrift Day.
Ho luia been pushing It In every way
ho knows how, but he mndo his biggest
effort when ho arranged n certain Sundny
meeting. Ho even thought tho dny ought
'.o bo on Sundny.
".Vow I wart to tell you why I don't
think 'Thrift Day ought to bo linked
up with Sunday, It's not n religious ques
tion. It'a purely nn economic question.
The two shouldn't bo confused. I think
It's a good thins If ministers mention
Thrift Day' at their Sunday meetings,
but that Is only taking ndvnntago of ex
isting conditions. I don't think special
conditions to help nlong 'Thrift Day.'
though, should be created for n Sunday.
That would bo Injuring, rather than help
ing the Idea."
Nearly nil the Interested folk, especially
tho bankers, agree that tho weekdays aro
plenty to push along and think of 'Thrift
Day.' So they nre counting only four
more days until "Thrift Day," February 3.
Bankers arc seizing on "Thrift Dny" as
nn occasion for the beginning of good
habits. It gives them n chance to get to
gether In the pushing of a good thing for
everybody, nnd they aro going to havo
special fncllltlew on "Thrift Dny" to mako
the opening of a savings account a sim
ple, time-saving matter.
