Astrich's London Estimates Losses of Germans at 44,000 By Associated Press London, Sept. 18, 1 P. M.—The efforts of the allies to-day were di vided into three supreme struggles: First, to dislodge the Germans from the heights of the Aisne; second, to break through the fourth and fifth German armies at the center; third, to outflank the German right under General von Kluck. The position of the fourth and fifth German armies 1s considered not so strong as the re mainder of the line, while if the flunk ing movement is successful the rail road lines on which the Germans de pend would be cut. The German losses are estimated here at 3,200 daily for the last fort night. This totals more than 44,000 since September 4.

HOFF New Cumberland, Fourth and Bridge Penna. Streets FRIDAY EVENING; HXBRI6BURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 18, 1914 mendoue. and adding the terrible losses suffered by the Austrlans in Galicia, some idea may be gained of the extraordinary sacrifices of men during these first few weeks of the modern world's greatest war. Even preliminary talk of peace seems to be resented by the British public. While the pact recently signed by the allies insures concerted action when it comes, in the direction of peace on their part, the dispatches from Washington relative to the atti tude of peace of Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg. the German chancellor, as conveyed through the American am bassador at Berlin, together with dis patches from Rome saying that Austria-Hungary desires peace, have aroused considerable discussion here and editorial articles already have appeared saying that peace on any terms is out of the question until what is styled "the menace of German mili tarism" is crushed. PiROSEROiSTS VICE M'CORMICK Says He Is Going to Pay the Bills For the Democratic and Bull Moose Campaign Senator Boles Penrose, whose ter rific arraignment of Vance C. McCor mtck at Williams Grove is well re membered, last night at Troy, Brail ford county, denounced the with drawal of William Draper Lewis, Washington party candidate for Gov ernor, In favor of Vance O. McCor rniek, Democratic candidate, as a cor rupt deal and one of the most fla grant exhibitions of bossism and ma chine politics the people of Pennsyl vania have ever witnessed. The Sen ator made this charge in a speech to a large crowd that had gathered In the street at the Troy Hotel. He was cheered and frequently was interrupt ed by shouts of approval. Senator Penrose spent all day in Bradford and Tioga counties. He mo tored from Troy to Mansfield, in Tioga county, to attend the fair there, returning to Troy. At. the Mansfield fair there was a. gathering of more than 20,000 persons. The Senator made a brief speech and put in the rest of the time In handshaking. Among those who greeted him were many miners from the coal mines at Blossburg, Morris Run, Arnot and other mining towns in Tioga county. They assured him that they were done with the Bull Moose and they would vote the Republican ticket. In the crowd was a large number of Roose velt supporters, who expressed indig nation over the deal whereby Lewis retired In favor of McCormick. Surrender, That's All "We have some queer performances In politics in this campaign. The Washington party nominated William Draper Lewis for the. office of Gov ernor. Mr. Lewis, after having made a campaign through the State, sud denly conies to the conclusion that he will get off third party ticket," said the Senator. "He goes into a se cret conference with William Flinn, former notorious contractor boss in Pittsburgh, and decides to withdraw in favor of a Democratic free trade candidate for Governor, Vance C. Mc- Cormick. "For years we have heard of the rule of the people. There has been much agitation for the popular pri mary and popular government. The cry has been 'trust the people.' Everybody who did not vociferously accept this issue was denounced as a stand-patter and reactionary- Now I ask you as sensible Mien, 'Where did the thousands of electors who cast their ballots for Mr. Lewis in the primaries authorize him to get off the Washington party ticket and sell out that party to the Democratic party'.'' This is a flagrant exhibition of ma chine politics such as the State of Pennsylvania never before has wit nessed. The reason for this is that Flinn has declined to repeat the lav ish expenditures in recent campaigns. Now the only millionaire in sight to pay the bills is the Democratic candi date. Mr. McCormick. "Who is Mr. McCormick? A young gentleman in Harrisburg who inher ited his millions, who purchased his nomination and who now proposes to purchase the governorship. He will pay the bills of the Democratic party and what is left of the Washington party. Such Is the odium attached to this transaction. I have heard to-day from sincere men, who differ from Re publicans as they have a right to do, and have had progressive affiliations, repudiate this deal. These men de clared that after all they were Repub licans at heart and that they do not propose to be carried over to Flinn and McCormick by any deal that may be made with the Democratic party. "A few days ago I asked Lewis to publicly state that he would not ac cept the attorney generalship if Mc- Cormick should be elected. He has made no reply to this question. How about Palmer? His nomination was made at the White House. He knows that he will be one of the worst beaten candidates for an office that has ever appeared before the people of this State. He likewise has a bed to fall on. it is generally understood that after the election he is to be given an appointment under President Wil son's administration."

I I ILL TURNPIKE CASE FINALLY ARGUED Mifflin County Company Says That It Uses Income to Keep Up Its Highway The first complaint Affecting turn pike charges was heard yesterday by the Public Service Commission, when S. H. Zook and other residents of Mif flin county, appeared in opposition to the condition of the West Kishaco quillas turnpike. There was consid erable testimony to the effect that the road is out of order, that it Is incon venient and dangerous for its patrons to travel upon, and that the tolls de manded are unjust and unreasonable for the service afforded. The com pany claimed that nearly all its re ceipts are used for the betterment of the road. The matter of the complaint as to the excessive rates charged by the Beaver Valley Water Company, which was begun before the commission some time ago, was resumed to-day. Speaker Alter, who represents the company, presented an inventory of the lattcr's equipment, and it was finally arranged that engineers should go over the plant to determine Its valuation before additional testimony shnll have been taken. The petition of the commissioners of Lawrence county for the abolition of a grade crossing over the tracks of various railroads at Gardner ave nue in the city of Newcastle, was also heard, but the faking of testi mony was interrupted by the adoption of a proposition that all parties in terested confer and agree on plans for the overheard bridge, together with the approximate cost, of the structure and the manner in which it should be apportioned. When this is done tho matter will be submitted to the com mission. STOLE WATCH, CHARGE Leo Coslow, 334 Muench street, was held for court this afternoon on a charge of the larceny of a watch, pre ferred by Wilson Barnes. F. E. Smith, Chief of British Press Bureau When the war scare became dan gerous in England and it was decided to have a press bureau to pass out information to the newspapers and keep them from publishing anything thai was not authorized the Liberal Government picked out F. E. Smith, one of the important Unionist or op position leaders fo rthe place. Mr. Smith is one of the best known barristers of England. He has been in parliament since lflOfi. His work has not met with npproval by the newspapers. Ho has suppressed in formation which they wanted and which they believed would have caused no harm. One of the feats of his employes was to hold out the cabled report of a tennis match in the United States, because it looked like a cipher dispatch to the censor who had never played tennis. The prediction is being made every day that the censorship w-on't last much longer. 1W BREAKS OUT AMONG UOUSERS Effort to Throw Out Flinn Because of His Surrender to Demo crats Under Way William Flinn and Vance C. Mc- Cormick had scarcely left Harrisburg yesterday to do their several ways after launching the mule ticket before word began to come to the city of a serious break Inside of the Wash ington party and declarations that they would not stand for a man like MeCormick were heard all over the State. The failure of the Democrats to respond to the demand of Judge Brumm and others to show their good faith by effecting further fusion was denounced in many counties and signs are abroad that William Flinn will lead a large staff over to MeCormick, but that the rank and file will vote for Brumbaugh. It is doubtful even, whether Colonel Roosevelt's proposed trip to advocate the election of Me- Cormick will keep many Progressives in line unless Palmer gets oft the tick et. And Palmer said last night at Scran ton: "You can tell everybody that I am in the battle until the last vote is counted. I am going to stick regardless of these rumors being circulated." Revolt Spreads I William P. Deakyne, until recently I the treasurer of the Washington party I county committee of Philadelphia, yesterday indorsed the position of ! Richard R. Quay, who was a Roose velt delegate to Chicago from Pitts burgh. and declined to follow William Flinn into the Democratic camp. He wired Mr. Quay commending po-/ sition in opposition to McCormick for Governor. "The rehabilitation of the Washing ton party," said Mr. Deakyne, "rests with Mr. Quay. In him all sincere Progressives have confidence. We are only waiting for him to sound the call, and we will rally to his stand ard and lay the foundation of a new, a real and sincere Progressive party in Pennsylvania. Should he not do this and should the rule of the Flinn- Van Valkenburg organization be alt lowed to continue, the days of the Washington party In this State are ■ numbered." The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says: "A State-wide movement to unseat William Flinn and E. A. Van Valken burg as the Progressive leaders of Pennsylvania because of their 'boes ism' and specifically because of their " action in forcing a Democrat on the Washington party's State ticket, is being planned by a group of former Washington party leaders, headed by Richard R. Quay, of Pittsburgh, and William R. Deakyne. of Philadelphia. Both these men denounce the naming of Vance C. McCormick, a Democrat, by the Washington party State com mittee on Wednesday as the party's nominee for Governor in place of William Draper They char acterize it as nothing more than a piece of machine politics, by which Flinn and his Philadelphia represen tatives are to be rewarded with a share of the contracts and spoils of office at the State Capitol In the event of McCormick's election." The Way Tliey Talk , A rumor that William N. McNalr, i nominee for secretary of internal af- i fairs, was to withdraw in favor of the I Washington party candidate for that < post was contradicted by Mr. McNair i at Scranton, who said that while he 1 stood ready to withdraw if by so do- | ing he could strengthen the position , of the leaders of his ticket, yet he did ( not expect that any such step would ■ be demanded. "In my opinion, but I believe that : the demand on the part of those peo ple of Pennsylvania who are anti- Penrose will be so Insistent that com- 1 plete fusion will eventually be effect- ' ed," declared Fred E. Lewis, Wash- 1 ington noininee for secretary of inter- ' nal affairs, at Allentown.

STATE REVENUES ARE SLOWING UP Auditor General's Department Ex plains the Slump Due to the Personal Tax A statement issued at the Auditor General's Department to-day says: "Comparison of this year's receipts at the State Treasury with those of former years are misleading," unless it be remembered that the last leg islature passed an act depriving the State of its former revenue from the tax on personal property. Previous to January 1, 1914, the whole amount of this tax collected in each county was remitted to the State Treasurer, who later returned three-fourths of it to the county treasurer. The amount of this tax paid to the Stata Treasurer last year was $5,312,175.71. This year the receipts from personal property tax are only $102.17. repre senting odds-and-ends balances paid in this year on 1918 account. "Receipts to September 10, last year, were $21,172,685.67, this total including personal property tax amounting to $3,468,924.03; so that receipts at the close of the treasury on September 14, 1913, exclusive of personal property tax, were $17,703,- 761.64. "Receipts to September 15, this year, were $18,603,092.60; or, exclu sive of the receipts of $102.17 from personal property tax balances, were $18,602,990.43. "On the same basis, then, this year's receipts to September 15 exceeded those of the same period of last year by $899,228.79. "Because of the act of June 17, 1913. there also will be a decrease in the disbursements this year; for the State Treasurer last year returned $3,975,670.70 in person property tax to county treasurers, and this sum is Included in the total disbursements of $37,566,196.27. "In 1913 the State's net revenue from personal property tax was sl,- 336.605.01 —this being the difference between the amount received by the State Treasurer and the total amount remitted by him to the. county treas urers."
