Officials to Discuss Culvert
Crossing Below Lochiel
TO CONNECT WITH CAMERON
Conference With P. and R. Also*
Scheduled; Visits Playgrounds,
Parks and River Front
Definite steps toward obtaining a
subway right of way from the Penn

continuance of the city parkway drive
below Lochiel. will be taken up Thurs
day morning when Park Expert War
ren H. Manning. City Commissioner
Taylor and Assistant Park Superinten
dent Hoffert will confer with the rail
road officials on the question.
The proposed line of the encircling
parkway has been planned to include a
crossing at this point of the Pennsy so
that the proper connection may be
made with the eastern terminus of the
Cameron parkway.
The most feasible way for abridging;
the two points is by carrying the road- |
way under the tracks by way of one of
two culverts that span Spring and Pax
ton creek. This is one of the principal
problems Mr. Manning will take up
with city and railroad officials during
his visit here this week.
Before the end of the week the city
officials will meet with the Philadel
phia and Reading representatives rela
tive to the proposed culvert crossing
beneath these tracks near Paxtang.
Mr. Hoffert will prepare the plans and
estimates of two types of culvert—one
30-foot and one 60-foot roadway—
which will afterward be submitted to
the Philadelphia and Reading com
pany.
In addition to arranging for the
conference with the railroad men Mr. j
Manning to-day visited City Treasurer
O. M. Copelln in company with Messrs.
Taylor and Hoffert and discussed the
possibilities of securing the Capital
City Realty traet for the city for the
continuance of the parkway. This is

AUSTRO-GERMAN ARMY
PIERCES RUSS FRONT
IN BRILLIANT CHARGE
Sudden Attack in Western Galicia Was Result of Plans
Laid by Military Chiefs Several Weeks Ago; British
Believe War Will Be Greatly Prolonged as Result of
Engagement; New Austrian Army Prepared to Re
sume Offensive in Campaign Against Serbia
Italy has postponed again her de
cision concerning participation in the
war. Rome dispatches say that new
offers have been presented on behalf
of Austria in an effort to satify Italy's
territorial demands.
King Victor Emmanuel's decision not
to attend the unveiling of the Gari
baldi monument is regarded as indi
cating that no warlike action will be
taken In the immediate future; for It
was the opinion In Rome that his pres
ence on this occasion would have been
equivalent to a declaration of war on
Austria. Prince von Buelow, the Ger
man ambassador, is credited with hav
ing averted a crisis by presenting the
new offers.
Information from Vienna, which the
Austrian military authorities are now
willing to have known, shows that the
sudden attack on the Russians in west
ern Gallcla was the result of an elabo
rate plan made by the German and
Austrian military chiefs several weeks
ago. A large army of fresh Austrian
and German troops was concentrated
before Cracow before the attack.
Claim** Exaggerated?
Unofficial advices from Russian
sources aasert the German claims of
victory are exaggerated, although it Is
admitted the movement was an im
portant one. The Russian war office
lias had little to say concerning this
situation further than to state that
violent fighting has taken place. A
London dispatch concedes that if it Is
true the Russian front has been
pierced, the war will be prolonged
greatly. Simultaneously with the new
attack on the Russian front Austria
has resumed operations against Monte
negro after a lull over the greater part
of the winter. An official Monte
negrin statement says Austrian attacks
| all along the front were repulsed. At
[ Berlin it is said a new Austrian army
has been prepared to resume the cam
paign s gainst Serbia.
