FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 6, 1914.
GERMANS FIRE OH
| RETIRING BROTHERS
London Press Bureau Issues Ac
count Written by Colonel
Swintor
By Associated Press
London, Nov. 7. 11.15 A. M.—The
press bureau to-day issued the follow
ing account of events at the battle
front as witnessed and written by
Colonel E. D. Swinton, of the intelli
gence department of the general staff.
The recital is dated November 1 and
says:
"The German troops have won our
respect for the way in which they have
advanced. Whether it is due to .pa
triotism or to the fear induced by iron
discipline, the fact remains that they
steadily press forward to what in
many cases must obviously have been
certain death.
"That they are forced sometimes to
go on is shown by the following answer
to an interrogation put to a wounded
German prisoner:
Gorman Soldier's Story
"'I enlisted in October of 1913. On
| mobilization the weakly and those
backward in training to the number of
about 60 per cent, of the company
were withdrawn from the active regi
ment to form the nucleus of a reserve
regiment which was completed by men
from Baden and Wurtteinberg belong
ing to the second section of the land
wehr. We received new gray uni
forms. After ten weeks of hard train
ing we traveled for three days and
two nights, from Thuringia up to Aix
ln-f'happelle, where we remained in
reserve. We were told that our near
est enemies were the English.
"'On the 17th and 18th of October
we performed such fatiguing forced
marches that many men fell out on
the road. On October 19 we each re
ceived 285 rounds of ammunition and
had our first taste of war. Although
we were told there were only sharp*
shooters In front of us, I saw French
cavalrymen and no other foe. From
this day onward the fighting was unin
terrupted. On October 20 my section
received orders to go forward to at
tack and our officers warned us that if
we gave way fire would be opened
upon us from behind. This threat was
carried out when the losses we suf
fered compelled lis to retire. Indeed,
it was by a German bullet that I was
wounded.
Two Days Without Fooil
" 'Having fallen to the ground, I re
mained between the lines without food
or care for two days, at the end of
which time I dragged myself to a
ruined house. During all this time
German shells, which were short, were
falling about my shelter, located a few
hundred paces frpm the French lin°s.
The French having advanced on Oc
tober 24, I myself moved forward and
called out to a passing patrol and sur
rendered.
" 'We have received no distribution
of food since our arrival in France.
The commandant of my company was
a reserve lieutenant, 2 8 years of age.
The colonel, wose name I do not know,
also belonged to the reserve, as did all
the officers of the regiment. The offi
cers told us that If we fell into the
hands of the French we would be sent
to the foreign legion and that we
surely would be massacred by the
Moroccans.
"'I saw only one man shot. He was
a priest, who, they said, was a spy.'
Results Observed
"The results of the inundation to
the north of Dixniude have been ob
served by our aviators, who have seen
numbers of the enemy collected in
groups on the dikes which intersect
the llooded area where, according to
report, some German heavy artillery
is bogged. '»ur airmen also have been
able to harass advancing hostile col
umns by bomb dropping and machine
gun lire.
"The tactical transfer of troops be
hind the German front line is now car
ried out to a great extent by motor
omnibuses, of which long lines are
visible from above. During the past
few days large numbers of refugees
have been streaming back along the
roads from Belgium and crowding the
empty trains returning from the front,
upon which the French have, most
humanelv. allowed them to travel.
RESIDENTS HEAR CANNONADING
By Associated Press
The Hague, Nov. 5, via London, Nov.
6, 1.10 A. M All day the residents of
the Dutch coast villages have heard
an extremely severe cannonading. The
sound came from a southwesterly di
rection.
TOWNS RELIEVED 15V RETREAT
Right Wing of Germans Smashed Like
Wineglass, Correspondent Says
By Associated Press
London, Nov. 6, 4.08 A. 51. The
correspondent of the Daily Mail in the
north of France under date of Novem
ber five, described the relief felt in
Dunkirk, Calais and the neighboring
towns and villages at the retreat ot
the Germans which, he declares
amounts to hothing less than a rout.
ll'-' says;
"The German right is smashed like
a fallen wine glass. Guns, stores, rifles
and even the wounded were abandon
ed in the rush from this fatal battle
field. The chance of the Germans was
well on the wane when the Hooding
of the positions came as a climax of
the disaster."

Penn Ready For Michigan;
Harvard Plays Princeton
Two Interesting Scholastic Games Are Promised; One at
Harrisburg, and the Other On Steelton Field
On to-morrow's schedule the one
big football battle outside of Harris
burg and Steelton will take place at
Ann Arbor, Mich. University of Penn
sylvania will meet their hated western
rivals, Michigan, with a regular line
up and every man full of lighting
spirit.
I At Island Park Tech High will meet
Lebanon High. As a final practice the
Muhlenberg College scrubs lined up
against Allentown. Tech does not ex
pect an easy proposition and for this
reason Coach D. Forrest Dunkle yes
terday afternoon ordered a series of
scrimmages between the varsity and
scrub teams.
TELEPHONE VALUES
IDEA DISCUSSION
Pittsburgh Experts Present Ques
tion to Public Service—East
Berlin's Troubles
Expert testimony as to what should
constitute a basis for telephone rates
was continued before tne Public
Service Commission to-day by H. F.
French, representing the Chamber of
Commerce of Pittsburgh, and Assist
ant City Solicitor Charles K. Itobln
son, representing the city of Pitts
burgh. They placed on the stand yes
terday Professor E. W. Bemis, who is
a member of the advisory board of the
Intcr-state Commerce Commission in '
the matter of fixing the valuation of
interstate railroads, and Dr. Whitten,
who was formerly statistician for the
Public Service Commission of New
York. These experts do not believe
that the replacement value of a plant
should be accepted as a basis for rates
but seem more inclined to the thought
| that the cost of the property ought to
receive more consideration. They do
not think, however, that the replace
ment feature ought to be entirely dis
regarded, because the courts have
i been inclined to that view and it would
be useless to disregard the attitude of
these tribunals.
The application of the Wilkes-Barre
Connecting Railroad for a crossing at
: Miners Mills was objected to by the
Wilkes-Barre Street Hallway Com
pany on the ground that the original
petition for a certificate called for a
crossing at grade and that the plans
have been changed to provide for an
overhead structure. The abutting
property owners had not been officially
advised of this change and the Com
i mission decided to notify them and
j have another hearing on the matter at
| its next session. All the parties at in
terest have agreed on the plans, but
I there is no agreement as to the ap
portionment of the cast and this is the
cause of the delay.
The Commission approved the con
tract* of Northumberland County Gas
and Electric Company and the bor
ough of Northumberland.
East Berlin Troubles
The question as to whether the
Commission can compel the owner of
a railroad company to operate it was
considered in the matter of the com
plaint of E. .T. Brandt against the 13ast
Berlin Ilailway Company, Adams
county. In answering the complaint ]
the company alleged that it has been
unable to meet its expenses for a num- |
ber of years and has no money with ;
which to operate the line, and further
more claims that the Commission has
no jurisdiction over .the matter.
Testimony was taken to show the
disadvantage to which the people j
along the line arc subject. The com
pany admits that the State can take '
Its franchise away from it if it re
fuses to operate, and when this Is done
the intention is to sell the road for
scrap.

v t L
Players on the Central High arid
Steelton High teams nre on edge for
the contest at Steelton. Central is
anxious to even up with Steelton for
the defeat of two weeks ago. Steelton
is working hard daily in order to make
it two victories this season. Every
man will be back in the Central line-up
and Steelton is not likely to have an
easy proposition.
After an hour's scrimmage yester
day Coach Tatem drilled the Harris
burg Academy eleven in punting and
on forward passes. Winning the game
from Yeats School to-niorrow after
noon will give the Harrisburg Academy
eleven much honor.

Truancy is said to be on the increase
because there is no House of deten

court to have a detention house pro

received from parents regarding tru
ancy.
