HARRISBURG, PA., ENLISTING RECRUITS FOR THE EFFICIENCY CORPS EASTERN BSE RATECASETO BE REOPENED OCT. 19 Interstate Commerce Commission Decides to Grant Appeal of Railroads I By Associated Press Washington, D. C., Sept. 19.—The | Interstate Commerce Commission to | day decided to reopen the eastern ad vance rate case and will begin hear- I ings here on October 19. A formal • order to that effect was prepared. 'Fhe decision of the commission i comes upon the recent application of , i the railroads which was made after ! President Wilson had received a rep i resentative committee of railroad j presidents at the White House. How far that conference may have gone toward preparing the way for a re opening of the case is not known. It was said at the time that the railway men asked the President to appeal to the country to treat the railroads in a ; spirit of co-operation and the Presi dent replied by sending a sympathetic letter to Chairman Prank Trumbull, of the Chesapeake and Ohio. Want Decision Modified The railroads also nsked the com mission to modify its recent decision which granted increases west of Pitts burgh and denied all increases be tween the Great I,akes and the At lantic seaboard. Pnder the law the I commission cannot modifv that order j without hearings: the decision to re open the case bringing the whole ques tion up again, when the railroads will press for the 5 per cent, increase throughout the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. The railroads asked for a reopening not upon the showing they made at the hearings, but upon conditions which the managers say have become apparent since. The showing of the roads for June, which was not avail able when the case was before the commission last time, and the exigen : cies which have been thrust upon | them by the European war, with the j attendant difficulties of getting new I capital, and the falling off in export i traffic, were cited as the principal rea- I sons why the case should be reopened. Mkp Those Ponied Th<* increases the railroads ask are j identical with those which were denied, j Although described as 5 per '-ent. ad jvances. the commission's recent de j cision declared some of them ranged las high as 35 iu»r c«nt. The principal 1 heavy commodities west of Pittsbursh. j Buffalo and Charleston, such as coal I and coke which constitute more than I half of the total traffic of the rail- I roads, will be affected. All class and i commodity rates east for which the I commission announced increases en ; tir "l v will be affected hv the new case.

TAYLOR AGAIN GETS ONLY ONE BID FOR RIVER FRONT FILL Commissioner of Parks Makes An other Effort to Complete the Park Only one hid for hauling materia! | from the Second street subway to the I river front for "fill" was again re ceived by City Commissioner M. liar i vey Taylor, superintendent of parks ! and public property, when he opened ! proposals at noon. i The sole bidder was S. W. Shoe | maker & Son. who offered to haul the J dirt to the river front between Ham : ilton and Maclay streets for 75 cents j per load and to the stretch between i Maclay and Division streets for 89 I cents per load. For the embankment above Maclay I street Commissioner Taylor wants 4,000 yards, more or less: for the sec ; tion below Maclay he wants about 10.000 yards. The "fill" above Maclay is largely i for the purpose of supporting the | curbing: that below Maclay will be needed to straighten and make uni form the River Front Park adjacent to the wall. Com miss oner Taylor opened bids a few weeks ago and got one proppsal This was from Ray E. Shoemaker, son of S. W. Shoemaker and junior part ner of the firm that bid to-day. This bid was never considered because this was too high I Mr. Taylor will submit to Council on Tuesday his bid and it Is expected • hat Council at that time will at last take deflntie action relative to the set tlement of the river front problem. English Bearing Brunt of Fighting Along Aisne By .Associated Press Paris, Sept. 19, 6.20 a. ni. Frag ments of news from the front confirm the serious character of the combat on the Aisne. Some of those wounded on Thursday who have arrived here, declare that the fighting was even more violent than on the Marne and say the losses on both sides must be heavier. The English, as on the Marne, are bearing the brunt of the counter attacks and are conducting themselves brilliantly. After a four days' constant ham mering the German artillery slack ened its fire last evening during a heavy downpour of rain which lasted all night.. The trenches must have been nearly filled with water, dimin ishing greatly the advantage of the defense works prepared by the Ger mans and at the same time adding to the sufferings of the wounded. Returning confidence is shown in the return to Paris of many who took refug" in Bordeaux and other pro vincial towns on the approach of the Germans. Some of the newspapers temporarily at Bordeaux are getting ready to publish in Paris again. The Dally Mail comes hack to-day. The government, however, will probably remain until the war is practically ended. COMMERf E < IIAMBKR TO HGI.r (OlffCll, FURNISH FILM Acting president.

P.EXTENSION SCHOOL FIGHT RAS BEEN WON BY CITY More Than Hundred Have Asked to Take Advantage of Edu cational Chance The proposed Hnrrlshurg University of Pennsylvania extension school is no longer an anticipation, but a realiza tion. The applications have been coming In thick and fast during the last forty-eight hours. More than a hundred persons have signified their intentions of taking advantage of the unusual educational advantages offered them by the university. However, this number must be cut down to ninety or ninetv-one men, as quite a number who made application failed to meet the university require ments. Requirements are that appli cants must be at least 18 years of age. If over 18 years and less than 21 years they must have pursued a preparatory course equivalent to three years in a recognized high school or preparatory school. Candidates over 21 years of age who have not pursued such a preparatory course of study, an amount of business experience and general knowledge sufficient in char acter and extent to satisfy the com mittee on admission of their fitness to pursue the course is required. Chamber of Commerce Co-operates E. E. McColgin. secretary of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, is lending his every aid to the extension school movement. Mr. McColgin has been in daily consultation with several of the members of the board of di rectors as well as with Professor Wen dell P. Raine. who has charge of the organization work here. Mr. McCol gin stated that the Chamber of Com merce is sending out to Its members through its weekly bulletin descriptive matter of the school. He further staled that he is in hearty sympathy with an educational movement of the university caliber for Harrisburg. believing it to be one of the best things that has come to Harrisburg in a long time. Reading Close on Heels Reading also has shown herself quite capable of taking advantage of an extension school proposition and the latest reports from the Berks county town show that a school will in all probability be established there.

Germans and Allies Both Claim Victories Along Line of Battle Kaiser's Forces Reported to Have Easily Repulsed Attacks of French and British While Allies Say Germans Are Moving Back Slowly at Various Points; Present Bat tle Regarded as Supreme Conflict of Campaign in France; Japanese Troops Land on Neutral Territory A report from German army headquarters made public in Berlin to-day announces German and Austrian successes in all theaters I of the war. In Berlin it is declared a decisive attack is being made north of Noyoti, Beaumont has been stormed and 2,500 French have been captured; while counter attacks of the allies along the entire front have been repulsed easily. In the cast the Germans continue their I advance against the Russians and the Servians have been routed by I the Austrians, it is said. [ I nofficial advices from the German capital say that members of the general statl manifect confidence in a favorable outcome of the fighting in France. Their armies are being reinforced and their lines of communication reformed it is stated. Dispatches from Vienna report officially that the Austrians and Germans in Galicia have formed a new defense line and arc awaiting a Russian attack upon the strong fortress of Przemyal, fifty j miles west of Lemberg. News dispatches from London reflect the popular belief that i the German line in France has been reinforced and that the reported shortage of ammunition and supplies has been met. An official statement issued in Paris at 2.45 o'clock this after noon state that the Germans are strongly entrenching on the river Aisne and have been reinforced from Lorraine. News dispatches from Paris report a continued optimism there and at Bordeaux. Many who deserted Paris upon the approach of the Germans are returning to that city. News dispatches represent London as regarding the present battle as the supreme conflict of the campaign in France. Some ob servers estimate that the total casualties of the Germans and allies to date are in the neighborhood of 150,000. It is officially announced from Tokio that Japanese troops were landed in Laoasn Bay. Laoasn is neutral territory forty miles north of Tsing-Tao.

"The war will go on. We do not care what we lose. We have fought and will tight. No, I do not think that it will be necessary for England or anyone Hse to maintain a great army after this.

( * POSTSCRIPT. 14 PAGES : 150.000 MEN LDST IN SERIES OF BITTEES ALONG RIVEB MARNE Figures, However, Are Not Yet Of ficial and Casualties May Even Be Higher i By Associated Press Paris, Sept. 19. 3.30 a. m. The Official communications Issued thus far have neglected the question of losses which, in a tight such as the battle of the Marne, covering a front of 130 miles, are almost impossible to estimate even approximately. Some unofficial reports have placed the al lies' losses at 50,000 and those of the Germans at. 100,000 in the series of engagements comprised in the great clash of arms. Flow near these figures are to the truth no one'wlll know un til the official figures are compiled. However, the impression derived from individual accounts of wounded sol diers and from prisoners, the only unofficial sources of information at present, would indicate that these esti mates are conservative. The losses certainly are the greatest on record and perhaps the proportion for the Germans is greater than 2 to 1 In dead at least. The press bureaus are silent on this subject, the order of the day for the army gives eloquent hints of sacri fices made to gain advantage and shows how murderous is modern war fare and how regardless of personal safety are the officers and men. The lates order given out last night is full of deeds of the greatest, heroism and at the same time Indicates what the [Continued oil P»*B 9] Battle Continues on River Oise Without Any Important Change By Associated Press Washington, Sept. 19. —An official Bordeaux dispatch to the French em bassy to-day says: "The battle continues on the whole front from the river Oise to the river Woevre during the 18th without any important change in the situation at any point. "Three attacks attempted by the Germans against the English army have been checked at Troyon between Soissons and Craonne. The enemy tried but has not succeeded in taking the offensive against Rheims. At the right on Lorraine and Vosges the enemy occupy positions defensively organized close to the frontier. Day of Fortresses Has Passed, Is Belief (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Berlin, Sept. 4.—lt is still too early to base general predictions concerning: war in the future upon the engage ments of the present great European struggle. Our predictions, however, is that the day of fortresses has passed. The new 42 centimeter (16.8) siege gun of the German forces appears to have demonstrated that.
