M.—The newspaper Franc Du Nord, declares to-day that when the Germans were defeated at Arras they lost from 12,000 to 15,- 000 men who were surrounded by the French in some marshes. The Germans who are moving on Ostend are reported to have occupied Bruges, fifteen mlies east of the former city. This report is confirmed from neutral sources. A German official statement coming' direct from Berlin by wire less says that their troops in Belgium are now marching in part towards Ostend and in part hi a southwesterly direction toward the hrench frontier. J here has been heavy fighting east of Soissons and the Argonnes the Germans have at no point lost ground, it is declared.

Foodstuff is declared to be so abundant that its export from Servia is permitted The anti-Austrian war fever in Italy is said to be abating while Turkey continues in a truculent mood. Holland is overrun with Belgian refugees and the arrival of refugees in England has afforded a serious problem for Great Britain. The United States probably will be appealed to for aid.

SIXTY PER CENT. OF ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY LIQUOR, SAYS PALMER Chief Inspector of Pennsylvania Department of Labor Ad dresses Safety Congress By Associated Press Chicago, 111., Oct. 18.

Palmer, chief inspector of the i ennsvlvania Department of Labor, told delegates attending the Congress for Industrial Safety to-day. "It will not be lons." the speaker said, "before the saloon will be as much separate-' from the industrial plant as it is now from the church. As a matter of business we will have to furnish workmen better entertainment than saloons do. Ws also will have to pay in cash to prevent men from going to saloons to convert their checks Into currency." B. K. Prichett, representing a manufacturing concern cf Grand Rap- Ids. Mich., asserted that after em ployes had been forbidden to line alco holic beverages arrangements were made for milk wagons to call at the factory at a certain hour every morn ing.

Campbell, of Chicago, was elected president of the National Council at a meeting of the directors. L. R. Palmer, of Harrisburg, Pa., was chosen tirst vice-president.

SMS WORKING Ml Wins Case in Court; Palmer's Sue* cess Would Have Left Him Penniless Special to The Telegraph Gratz, Pa.. Oct. 15.—"Had It not been for the Casey liability law, which Mitchell Palmer opposed when it was before the Legislature, a young work ing man of Steclton whom I repre sented in court last spring, who lost a portion of his right hand through carelessness at the works, would n.»t have been able to recover one penny for his injuries," declared Phil S. Moyer, a well-} own young attorney of Ilarrisburg. before an assemblage of voters here last evening. "The Casey net placed at this young man's disposal a law whereby he could go into court and be In some measure reimbursed for the loss of his hand. Xo other law applied, and I say to you that If Mitchell Palmer had been successful in killing that bill when he opposed it in the Legislature this man would have been without redress and would have had to face the world a cripple and without money. "This is the kind of man Palmer Is, and yet he dares come before the voters now pretending to be the friend of the working man." Mr. Moyer, John C. Nissley, Vice- Chairman James E. Lentz and George Guise were the other speakers. Mr. Nissley made a hit with his audience by making a portion of his address in Pennsylvania German. The reference to national Issues was well received, owing to the fact that the upper end of the county has been hard hit by the depression brought about by Democratic blunders at Washington. Shirt factories that have not been idle for years are shut down and many other Industries are work ing on part time. Indications are for a big Republican vote throughout this region.
