In these words John Barrett, direc
tor general of the Pan-American Un
ion, sounded the keynote of the for ~
elgn trade conference held in Fahnc
stock Hall this morning under the di
rection of the Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce. .. . ..
Drawn by the thought that the wai
in Europe has opened to the United
States as never before the markets of
the world, and of Datin America es
pecially, nearly 100 of the most promi
nent and progressive manufacturers
and businessmen of all Central and
Eastern Pennsylvania gathered here
to-day to learn from the lips of ex
perts the ways and means of ap
proaching fields the surface of which
has been scarcely more than scratched
by American tradesmen.
It was not only an enthusiastic, but
a very serious meeting. Those
attended understand perfectly that
thev are attempting no easy task. They
realise that the man who is success
ful in this new line of endeavor must
I understand fully the problem and po-
Iculiarltles, the laws and the financial
difficulties to be encountered.

Mr. Watt, presenting Governor Ten

Conies Rumors of Another;
Will Fight Both
Close on the heels of the announce
ment that Patrick Sullivan has made
application to have his saloon license
transferred from 72" State street to
1819 North Third street comes the
rumor that another saloonkeeper In
the Eighth ward will try to get a place
for his business in the West End.
The Rev. B. H. Hart, pastor of the
Fifth Street Methodist Church, said
this morning that, he is almost posi
tive that this is true, but that ho is
not yet at liberty to give the name of
the saloonkeeper.
At present the residents of the Elev
enth ward are busy fighting the trans
fer of the license owned by Sullivan,
from 727 State street to 1819 North
At a big mass meeting last night In the
Augsburg Lutheran Church, Fifth and
Muench streets, plans were made for
the signing of a gigantic remonstrance
to the transfer.
Divide Wai-tl Into Districts
The ward has been divided into
eighteen districts and two men have
been appointed to canvass each district
and get the people in the homes to
sign the protest against bringing to
the ward a saloon.
It is expected that at least 3,500
names will be obtained in the ward
and many more thousands in the dis
trict from Roily to Maclay streets.
The canvass will be made ThankHgiv
i"g Day, the men who were appointed
volunteering to make the calls on that
day.
.The petition for the transfer of the
license will come up in the Dauphin
County f'ourt some time during the
week of December 8. James A. Strana
han will lie the attorney to represent
the people who are opposed to the
transfer.
Sonic of tlie Fighters
At the meeting last night when the
call was made for men to take the
witness in court and protest
many arose and from the number the
following were chosen: S. P. Ely, Dr.
C. It. Phillips, W. S. Conover, William
Black, W. L. Schreadley, Professor F.
E. Downes, superintendent of the city
schools, and I.ouls Dettinger.
Mr. Eby will represent the residents
of the ward in court.
The speakers at the remonstrance
meeting were the Rev. Harvey Klaer,
who presided at the session, anil T'ro
fesßor F. K. Downes. superintendent
of the city schools.
German Forces Reported
to Have Been Close to
Warsaw For Five Days
Eondon. Nov. 24, 2.20 A. M. —The
Telegraph's Petrograd correspondent
intimates that the German crown
prince's army during the last five days
threatened Warsaw, but was severely
repulsed. The correspondent says,
however, that his forces arrived alarm
ingly close to Warsaw before thev were
tlnail.v checked.
"At Plock," the correspondent con
tinues, "five German corps were op
posed by only two Russian corps,
which, after putting up a desperate
defense, were compelled to retire. This
left the road to Warsaw open and the
Germans pushed ahead, staking all on
arriving at. Warsaw before reinforce
ments could be brought up, leaving
their line of communication to take
care of itself."

HARRISBURG, PA., TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1914
FIRE DESTROYS BIG
BIRD "CROSS BIVER
Loss Will Run Close to $10,000;
Seventeen Head of Cattle
Are Burned
Fire early this morning destroyed
the harp and contents and seventeen
head of cattle on the old Snyder farm,
along the Conodoguinet creek near
Oyster's Point, tenanted by Peter T.
Sowers. The total loss is estimated at
SIO,OOO, partially covered by insurance.
The farm is owned by William Oyler,
near Newville. Mr. Oyler also lost a
barn at Greencastle by tire last week
and another one last Saturday near
Newville. The fire this morning was
caused by the exnlosion of a lantern
when it fell to the floor of the barn.
Mr. Sowers went to the. barn about
4 o'clock this morning to milk the
cows. As was his custom, he placed
the lantern on a nail near the stall In
which lie was working. Mr. Sowers
believes the lamp flame was high and
melted the lantern's fastenings. The
lantern dropped to the floor with a
loud explosion. Mr. Sowers ran to the
house and called for help. On his
return with assistance every effort was
made to save the cattle. The horses
and mules were gotten out in safety,
but the cows, seventeen in number,
could not lie reached.
lii the barn wore the season's crops,
j including about thirty-five lons of hay,
a hundred or more bushels of wheat.
| fifty bushels of oats, farm machinery,
harness, three wagons and two sleighs.
The fodder and corn was saved.
| Mr. Sowers will lie unable to estl
! mate his loss. The barn was a mod
ern structure and was valued at $5,000.
The loss on stock, crops, etc.. may
reach between $4,000 and $5,000.
There is insurance on both barn and
crops. A small insurance was carried
on the machinery.
Mrs. Sowers saved three horses. Ho
I dragged one cow out of the flames, but
the animal twice went back and was
I badly burned. It finally had to ho
taken to a tield and killed. The flames
spread to the farmhouse three times.
Aid was asked from the Camp Hill
lire department and the tiremen re
sponded and saved the house. Men
were on duty all day.
This is the second barn to burn on
this farm in two years. On November
25, 1914, when John Raffensberg was
the tenant, the barn was destroyed.

Probably 20 Persons, Including
Captain, Survive Disaster on
Duxbury Reef
By Associated Press
San Francisco, Nov. 21.—The steam
schooner Hanalei, ashore, on Puxbury
reef, broke in two Mirst before dawn to
day with sixty-two souls aboard. Three
passengers and two seamen swam
ashore. Thirteen other persons, in
cluding Captain .1. J. Carry, ot the
Hanalei, were rescued.
Thus far forty-three persons have j
reached places of safety, cither by be
ing picked up by the revenue cutters
or swimming ashore.
The schooner, which had been pound
jed by tlio surf since yesterday noon
I when she ran ashore In a fog. went all
■to pieces. Her bow which hung over
i the reef and had been twisted to a
j right angle, .slid into the water and
drifted to within 100 yards of the
beach. The quintet who first came
ashore, swam from tills wreckage.
A few more hours would have saved
every soul aboard. An hour would
have saved many. After all hope had
been given up ashore and on board the
wreck the sixth line fired by the Golden
Gate Park I.lfo Having Crew under
Captain Norman Nelson went over the
vessel. A breeches buoy was rigged
and then the line parwd. Almost Im
mediately thereafter the Hanalei broke
apart amid cries which rose above the
thunder of the surf.
10(Torts to take off the Hanalci's pas
sengers and crow from shore began late
yesterday after a dozen vessels had
tried to reach her and were prevented
by fog and surf.
Ill;: Mortar Hurst
The Fort Point Life Having crew from
tiie beach fired lines which fell short
until in desperation they double
charged their mortar and it hurst. An
effort, to launch a bout from the
Hanalei failed and a passenger was
drowned. A sailor tried to swim ashore
with a lino and men on the beach could
see bis arm swing above the waves
but at the line of breakers lie sank
and bis body drifted out to sea. A
passenger, Kl wood Schwerln, of Berke
ley, Cnl., took a line and got ashore but
the line became unfastened as he
swam.
One other man, it was reported, also
reached shore.
A life-saving crew which went out
toward the wreck was upset. The
captain reached shore and the remain
ing five men got aboard the Hanalei
Two later were washed off and drown
ed and there seemed no hope for the
rescue.

GERMAN BOMB BREAKS
WINDOWS IN AMERICAN
CONSULATE AT WARSAW
Several Persons in Front of Building Were Killed; Tide of
Great Battle in Poland Believed to Have Been Turned
in Favor of Russians; in War With Turkey, Russians
Also Claim Advantage; Germany Scouts Idea That
She Is Desirous of Making Peace
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, I). C\, Nov. 21.—A
bomb from a German air-hip fell
in front of the American con
sulate at Warshaw early to-day,
breaking the widows of the con
sulate but injuring no one with
in, according to a telegraph dated
to-day front American Ambassa
dor Maryc at Petrograd.
Several persons in the street in
front of the consulate were killed
ami wounded, but none of them
were Americans.
The incident was regarded here
I as indicating tiie proximity of the
German advance guard to War
sow. American consuls received
[ instructions early in the war to
I leave /.ones of great dangers
whenever invading forces ar
i rived in tlieir vicinity. It is ex
pected here that ir Warsaw be
comes a battleground of the Ger
man and Russian armies, the
American consul and liis staff will
withdraw to a place of safety.
If the official reports of the Rus
sians are correct, the tide of the great
! battle in Poland has turned in their
favor. How important the change is
and to what extent it will influence
future operations in the struggle be
tween Russia and Gormany was not
apparent to-day.
The Russian War Office, whose
statements were vague and noncom
mittal for several days, when the ten
sion was running highest, and the Ger
mans. to all accounts, were pressing
swiftly toward Warsaw, made to-day
its first definite announcement con
cerning the cruicial battle. It stated
that between the Vistula and the War
ta rivers the Germans had retreated.
German's latest official statement gave
this partial continuation by saying
that the arrival of Russian reinforce
ments had postponed the decision
There was. however, no hint, in this
statement of a retreat.
In the war with Turkey, also, Rus
sia claims the advantage. The forces

casus into Turkey, which Petrog'-ad
admitted a few days ago had been
compelled to retreat, are now said to
have resumed the offensive and to be
pushing on toward Erzerum, a Turi<-
r?! 1 near the eastern end of the
Rlack Sea. A Turkish column was
there put to route, the general staff of
the army of the Caucasus announces.
It states also that the Turks were de
feated in two engagements in North
ern Persia.
In the west the opposing armies still
hold to the positions which they have
maintained, with few changes for the
last two months. Here and there
along the 300-inile line—notably at
1 pres and Soissons, and in the Ar
gonne—there was spirited lighting,
but apparently with no results other
than momentary advantages for one
side or the other.
Germany stouts the idea that she Is
desirous for making peace. The semi
official Cologne Gazette characterizes
reports of this nature as belonging to
"the region of high political idiocy."
