Send letter to Provost Smith
Steps to establish the finance and
accounts branch in Harrisburg are
being taken in response to an invita
tion sent by prominent University
alumni of Harrisburg to Provost Ed
gar F. Smith. The letter sent is as
follows:
"Dr. Edgar F. Smith, Provost, Uni

"We, the undersigned, representa

your attention the opportunity for the
University to do a splendid service
for the many thousand worthy and
ambitious young men resident in this
vicinity who are unable to go away to
college, and who are anxious to get a
college education.
"It has been brought to our atten
tion that a year ago the University of
Pennsylvania established an extension
department of Its school of finance
and accounts in Wilkes-Rarre and in
Scranton. We understand that thiß
school has at present nearly 400 stu
dents, and that Its success Is far be
yond the most sanguine hopes of the
University.
"It has also been brought to our
attention that the University for ten
years has been conducting an evening
school of finance and accounts and
that during this time 3,500 students
have been enrolled: and that gradu
ates of this department are much In
demand for executive positions by the
businessmen of Philadelphia.
"We want a like school to be estab
lished in Harrisburg under the aus
pices of the University.
"Will it not be possible for the
University in co-operation with the
local alumni organization and with
the. assistance of the public?splrlted
citizens of Harrisburg to establish a
school of finance and accounts which
shall duplicate the work of the even
ing school at Philadelphia and that
of the branches already established
In Wllkes-Barre and In Scranton?
"We are confident that local sup
port can he obtained for such an ex

There is In this vicinity a population
of over SIOO,OOO. Our financial inter
ests are large, and our manufacturing
establishments many. The necessity
for higher education as a preparation
for success In business life Is gener

"The University of Pennsylvania is
the only institution In the eastern part
of the State which offers advanced
courses in financial, commercial and
accounting subjects. It is the only in
stitution equipped to give thorough In

derlie the science of business.

COUNCIL TO TIKE IIP
- FILL PROBLEMS
[Continued From First Pace]
Mayor Royal offered the sugges
tion that will lead, it is believed, to
the ultimate settlement of the prob
lem of laying the Front street water
mains. The contract had been award
ed to M. F. Saul to be laid in the
River Park as against Front street be
cause it will save about $4,000.
Against Cutting Tree Hoots
The Mayor said he had voted for
the proposition originally but the re
cent storm during which so much
damage to trees was done, opened his
eyes to what might follow should the
roots of trees be cut. In view of this
possibility he said he thought the city
would be more than compensated for
the difference in the cost of laying
the pipe by saving its splendid park
trees.
Commissioner Bowman reminded
Council that he had submitted both
plans—the park and the street plan—
to Council and that Council had taken
the necessary action. He believed, he
said, that CJouncil should save the city
money wherever possible, whether It
be SIOO. $2,000 or $4,000 and his rec
ommendation for the pipes in the park
was made with this idea in mind. He
said, however, that under the cir
cumstances he would be willing to
take the other method but suggested
that the resolution to reconsider the
previous action in awarding the con
tract to Mr. Saul lie over for a week.
In order to obtain complete in
formation relative to the assessment
of properties, the revision of the books
by the Board of Tax Revision and Ap
peals, the dates for appeals, etc., and
the time limit for turning over the
duplicate to the school authorities,
City Solicitor Seitz, upon resolution of
Mr. Gorgas, was asked these questions.
A report is expected by the next meet
ing.

munication from City Electrician Clark
E. Diehl endorsing the idea for a cen
tral fire telephone station at police
headquarters, but suggesting that it
would be inadvisable at present be
cause of the expense. He suggested
a double trunk line, however, for the
immediate needs.
Council decided to refund $5 each
to twenty-eight who had overpaid
their license taxes. Water pipe will
be laid in Jonestown road from the
Walnut street bridge to 365 feet east

SENATOR OLIVER
TELLS EXPERIENCES
Pennsylvania!! Reviews Hardships
He Passed Through While
in Europe
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C., Sept. I.—A gra
phic story of hardships and depriva
tions suffered in the war zone in Eu
rope was brought to Washington yes
terday by Senator Oliver, of Pennsyl
vania, who had been marooned In the
troubled regions. The Senator re
sumed his work in the Senate yester
day, having landed from the Olympic
at New York on Saturday.
Senator Oliver was refused accom
modations at a hotel in Paris, where
he had stopped many times before;
his Bank of England notes were re
fused; he was compelled to climb five
flights of stairs and. with his wife,
had to wait on himself after finally
inducing the management of the ho
tel to give them shelter for a night.
The Senator had these experiences
in Paris the night of August 2, which
was the first day of mobilization of
French troops.
Minimizing the hardships through
which he and Mrs. Oliver passed when
hostilities began, the Senator to-day
recounted tales of discomfort, depriva
tion of even the necessities of mod
ern civilized life, with few thrilling
experiences which tended to show how
close the realities of war have come to
thousands of Americans marooned
abroad when the conflict opened.

The Prince of Wales' Relief Fund is approaching the $10,000,000
mark; W. W. Astor has contributed $125,000.
The British embassy, in Washington, has been informed by a
cable from London that German officers have gone to Constanti
nople to take charge of the Turkish army and that a declaration of
war from Turkey was expected. Plans are already under way
to ask the American ambassador at Constantinople to take charge
of British interests there.
The Turkish ambassador, in Washington, Arustem Bey, said
to-day that the Turkish army was mobilizing and about to fight on
the side of Germany. He said the Turkish army was mobilized
three weeks ago.
Seventy-two superior German officers, forming the German
military mission at Constantinople, according to a Rome dispatch,
have been incorporated in the Turkish army and will participate in
the war.
The presence of the German officers in the army is interpreted
to mean that Turkey will fight on the side of Germany.
Official announcement was made in Paris this afternoon to the
effect that the Minister of War has decided to call out immediately
all the reservists in the country who have not been previously sum
moned to the colors.

Trick of British Led
Many German Warriors
to Death at Boulogne
By Associated Press
London. Sept. 1. 3.40 a. m.—Wound
ed men in the hospitals of Boulogne
related to the Express correspondent
there incidents of the fighting be
tween the Britsh and Germans. One of
the men, he says, told of a trick which
the British learned In the Boer war
and was worked very well against the
Germans. The story of the incident
follows:
"The enemy, before sending their
infantry against our positions, opened
a hot artillery fire. Our artillery re
plied, at first warmly, and then gun
after gun of the British batteries were
silent.
" 'What's up now?' I aßked a com
rade. There were a few minutes more
of artillery firing from the Germans
and then their infantry came on in
solid .formation. We received them
with rifle fire. Still they came on
and still we mowed them down. They
were getting closer and we could
plainly see the dense masses moving.
Then suddenly the whole of our ar
tillery opened fire.
"You see. they had not been silenced
at all and it was a trick to draw the
Germans up. They went down in
whole fields, for our guns got them in
open ground, and of course, they
had enough. It was impossible
for those behind to come up past the
dead."

Austrians Lose Heavily
Attacking Russian Forces
By Associated Press
London, Sept. 1, 5.10 a. m.—A dis
patch to the Times from St. Peters
burg gives the following comment on
the Russian operations against the
Austrians:
"The Russian operations against
the Austrians are considered by recog
nized military writers to have reached
the stage when decisive victories may
be within reach. The capture of the
railroad center forty miles south of
Leinberg, involves the rupture of rail
way communication with the Austrian
fortresses on the Onlester and in Bu
kovina. Thus the southern part of
Gallcla, as well as Bukovlna is severed
from the remaining portions of Gall
cia, except by a circuitous route across
the Carpathians. As a result the iron
ring is closing around Lemberg.
"The losses suffered by the Aus
trians in their desperate attempt to
strike at the vitals of the Russian
position In Poland aggregate tens of
thousands of men, including the Sixth
Austrian corps, which, on Its retreat
between the Western Bug and the
Wlepriz rivers, was almost annihi
lated."

Hand to Hand Battle
Marked German Attack
on Namur, Says Briton
By Associated Press
London. Sept. 1, 5.50 a. m.—The
following story of the fighting at Na
liuir was told to an Express reporter
by one of the British wounded, who
was brought here Monday:
"We had left the shelter of a little
forest and opened out. Our colonel
warned us that the German infantry
was advancing.
"We had hardly extended ourselves
prone along the grass when patches of
I blue and green were seen on the sky
i lino and soon battalions of the enemy
were made out following each other
at regular Intervals.
"Our batteries let rip and gouged
holes through them. 'Bravo!' shouted
my plantoon commander as he watch
ed through his glasses.
"Now the order was given to fix
bayonets. Before the enemy arrived
the artillery fire had increased until
it was an inferno. German aviators
were directing their guns and at times
we fired on aeroplanes, but our shots
were Ineffective. Our poor gunners
had an awful time as the German cav
alry got around behind us and charged
right up to the guns. Very few of
the Germans escaped, however, for
whole platoons rushed to the rescue,
emptying their magazines as they ran.
"A moment later the Germans
were on us from the front. We let
them come until their breasts rose
above the neighboring hillock and
then decimated them. They fell baclc
in confusion and dropped to the
ground.
"Another line came, which we treat
ed in the same way. Scores of ma
chine guns were turned on us, how
ever. and we were ordered to preparo
to charge.
"On the word of command we
sprang from the ground as one man,
and with yell after yell, charged the
advancing Prussians. As we neared
their ranks we fired indiscriminately
and only a few remained to cross
bayonets with us. The remainder
rushed off and were shot in the back
as they Went. They left more than
half their regiment on the field in
killed and wounded."

Germans in Capital
Fear Russian Advance
By Associated Press
London, Sept. 1. 3:32 A. M. The
correspondent of The Hague, tele
graphing from The Hague, says:
"There is the greatest alarm in Ber
lin over the advance of the Russian
troops. The news that the Emperor
has left the western headquarters and
moved to the Russian front has shown
the residents of the capital where the
immediate peril to their safety lies.
"A story has been circulated that the
Russians are preparing to avenge
Louvain by treating the city of Berlin
in the same way as the Germans treat
ed that city. Many of the populace who
can get away are going to Norway,
Denmark and Switzerland.
"In connection with the siege of
Liege it is told here that the Gerfman
artillery experts, after vainly trving
every type of field gun at their com
mand against the forts, sent to the
Krupn factory for a new fourteen-lnch
naval gun, which was sent down four
miles from the nearest Llegr fort. The
first shot fired from it hit the officers'
mess house, inside the Belgian fortifi
cation, killing 125 men.'"
