I The I.ittlc Ijovc Story The little love story which will end no happily in Chicago to-morrow be gan long ago. The courtship during Ihe past six weeks has been carried on Ihrotigh telegraphic communica tions. Telegraph companies in Har risburg, Krie and Chicago have been busy night and day taking care of love messages and plans for the wed ding. Original plans ca'led for a. Spring wedding, but "Well laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglcy." Mr. Andrews was given an advance ment in business life, when he was fleeted to the presidency and general managership of the Harrlsburg Making Company. His new duties required his immediate attention, and he will get no vacation In the Springtime. So, out In Chicago, a pretty sten ographer resigned her position and 1110 wedditig takes place on Christmas Hay. Neither the prospective bride or bridegroom could get away from their duties to arrange for the event, so the telegraph lines were brought into ser vice. Ilow It All Started The romance started in a little town an Illinois, not far from Chicago, when as a boy Andrews each year visited his uncle during the summer vaca tion. The girl visited in the same town just as regularly. The relatives of the boy and girl were neighbors, and, of course, they became friends. Friendship ripened into love, and linally the boy and girl agreed that when they grew up and had finished their studies they would get married. Miss Henry finished her course at Ihe Hyde Park High School, and then took up a business course. In the meantime the young man was studying at the Iceland Stanford University in California. Miss Henry is a member of two school fraternities, the Psi Eta l'hl and the Delta Psi Upsilon. Her par ents have long been residents of Chi cago. Following his graduation at the University, Mr. Andrews toured the United States, lie started when quite a young man with the Andrews Com pany. of Erie, owners of three bakeries and two land companies. When A. W. Andrews, who lia.s been head of the local company for five years, was transferred to New Castle, James A. was elected to take charge of the l-lar risburg plant.

The Christmas "stickers" while in tended primarily for pasting upon ' hrlslmas gifts bear a New Year's greeting as well, and thev can easily ibe used for post-Christmas gifts and letters. The various lines along which I larrisburg's campaign had been con j ducted—churches, schools, fraternal organizations, etc.—officially quit busi ness to-day. So did the booths in the post office and the department stores. Just how many stamps were sold, | however, cannot be determined un til the various subcommittees make their reports. These figures may not be compiled for a week. Sell 65,031 in Schools The result of the sales in the city schools was announced yesterday and the expectations were more than real ized. The school chilren of Harris burg sold 65,034 seals—which means $650.34—as compared with 51,820 in 1913. The Cameron building had the distinction this year again in being the building that sold the most seals, in containing the room that disposed of the most seals as a room, and in producing the individual of the city's 11,000 odd. school children, who headed the honor list of small sales folk. At the Cameron building 4,809 seals were sold. This is a few hundred more than Centnil High School which was credited with 4,369. Technical High sold very few. as the students devoted funds and energies to entertaining the open-air school kids.' Miss Anna Weit meyer's room, the high room last year, led again with sales totaling 16,- 591 and netting $165.91. To pretty little Miss Winifred Welcomer belongs the honor of being (he best Red Cross Christmas seal salesgirl in Harrisburg. She sold 1,100.

Archer, aged .15, a salesman thrown out of a ,lob by the depression last October, died of ptomaine poisoning to-day in the Alton Hospital. The first meal he had in three days, a ten cent dish of chili con earne, caused his death on the day that friends had found a new position for him. A few weeks before he lost his po sition Archer drew his last cent out of the bank to send his sick wife and their dying son to Texas for their health. When he lost his position he was practically penniless and too proud to tell his friends. He man aged to exist by selling all his clothes except those lie wore. Sunday, aftei three days without food, he borrowed a dollar and ordered his ten-cent meal. Almost immediately afterwards he was taken ill.

Dec. 21, 3.17 P. M.— An official statement given out in Paris to-day says that an Austrian submarii torpedoed a French battleship in the Gulf of Otranto. The battleship was damaged only slightly. No one was Injured. Ixnidon. Dec. 21. 1.25 P. M.—Hos tile aeroplane dropped a Ixiiiib over Dover this morning and then disap peared according to a statement made this afternoon by the official press bureau. The text of the statement follows: "An aeroplane of the enemy drop l>cd a bomb while {Missing over Dover this morning. The missile fell in a garden and exploded, lint no damage was done. The aeroplane was seen for a few seconds only. It left im mediately passing out over the sea. A British alrcroft went up but did not see the enemy again. The weath er was cloudy and foggy." official statements reveal the intense nature of the fighting now in progress both east and west, but in dicate that, with the possible excep tion of East Prussia, there has been no significant change in the alignment of the opposing forces. The German statement tells of a fight for possession of a trench in j France, which was won by the French, recaptured by the Ge-yians and finally) 1 abandoned. So fierce was the struggle. I the trench was almost, leveled by ar-j I tillery fire. No important movements are reported in the Gerinart communi cation. The French statement, while saying that small gains have been made here and there, mentions German attacks at so many points that It Is apparent the allies have not been permitted solely to take the offensive into their own hands. Such ground as they have won recently is not to be held with out hard lighting. Fighting Is Severe Th§ fighting Is Poland has become most severe and at the points along the line west of Warsaw the Issue Is being fought out with bayonets. Tho Berlin War Office states that the Rus sian advance in East Prussia has been checked and that the Russians at Mlawa. in Poland near the Prussian border have been defeated. A French cruiser in the strnit of jotranto. near the Southern end of | Italy, Was torpedoed by an Austrian submarine. It is stated that the dam age was slight and that no men were | injured. Although accounts vary as to the i present status of military affairs In | Poland. It is evident thai the scene I of heaviest lighting has shifted south ward from Sochmcizw, the town on the Bzura river thirty miles from Warsaw toward the Germans for sev eral days directed their principal ef forts. Austro-German forces operat ing from the Cracow Bazaar are at tempting to push northward into Po land. In this effort, however, they are meeting with determined resist ance from the Russians. A semiofficial statement from Pe ■trograd says that Russian successes in Galicia continue and that in the Carpathians the Austrians have been thrown back. Another sortie by the garrison at Przemysl. which has long been under attack by the Russians is said to have resulted disastrously for the Austrians. Heavy fighting continues in France and Belgium but thus far the renew ed activities have accomplished little, neither side being able to drive to the other from the strongly fortified po sitions held so long. Now that the French government has returned to Paris, a venturesome German aeronaut has attempted to prove that the capital Is not yet out of the war zone by flying over it. He was brought down by a French aero plane, however, at a point nineteen miles from the city of Paris. FRENCH MAKE PROGRESS flv Associated Press Paris, Dec. 24, 2.59 P. M.
