WORLD'S LARGEST GAS ] ENGINES IRE TESTED j Big Machines to Be Used With New Blast Furnace Make j Good Showing I After undergoing severe tests the| two new gas-blowing engines recently; installed by the Pennsylvania Steel Company are now ready for service. These engines were built by the Mestal Machine Company, of Pittsburgh, and' will be used in connection with the new blast furnace. The engines are said to be the largest in the world. • Briefly, the engines typify the higher piston speeds, the simplification of valve gearing and the automatic lub rication which mark the progress in blast furnace blowing equipment. Each engine consists of two 46-inch gas cylinders and one 8 4-inch blow ing cylinder in tandem. The elimina tion of valve gearing has been made possible by the use of the Mesta au tomatic Iversen patent plate valve. Single Tandem Design The Mesta engine follows the re jcent tendency in gas blowing prac tice to make blowing engines of the I single tandem design rather than to I build twin engines. The engine can be started and put on the furnace in less than one ininuti. This rapidity of handling is made possible, it is em phasized, by the concentration of all the operating levers and hand wheels on one operating stand. - 1 MIDDLE/TOWN PERSONALS [ John Boyle of Phoenixville, returned home after visiting Miss Mary!

And was there a reason? There Was! Bowman and Company's annual store picnic wag it. I From early morning until the time ! the big auto trucks started away with I their loads of buzzing, chattering, j laughing, shrieking humanity the one ' thought of the scores of employes was Ito get to Good Hope Mill as soon as i possible. ' Such a program as was followed out there! Dancing on the old barn floor: bathing (many a pretty who had been aching to show something new and nifty in bathing suits took that chance to-day); games, all kinds of races —and just the greatest dinner that one could sit down to In ages.

CAN'T DISCHARGE GAME LAW CONVICT Attorney General's Department Gives Opinion Regarding Jail Terms For Violators County commis- I S. \ \ i //J isioners have no au- ! v\\\ WiS/ ' thority to order re- : \\\\\ fr\ f|y lease from prison of I f men sentenced to serve time for fail- S&fifmJLJlJWk ure to pay tines for ■PjnfB OSQK violation of the 1 State's Ramv laws. 7 &M SSI HBl according to an • opinion priven to the RS-J —»J State Game Com- mission bv Deputy Attorney General Horace W. Davis. For some time past complaints have been made that county commissioners have been discharging, under acts re lating to debtors, persons who have been committed to prison in default of fine, it being the rule that they shall serve one day for each dollar of fine they fail to pay. It is held that county commissioners cannot interfere with such sentences, the only authority to do so being vested in the courts, and then only in certain procedure. The opinion further says that the action of any sheriff in releasing a prisoner without an order of court and betore he has served the sentence ren ders the sheriff and his sureties liable for the amount of the fine. The Game Commissioners are advised to notify the sheriffs that In event of illegal dis charge of prisoners by them they may be proceeded against.

The campaign against the most important German African colony was considered so vital that all the re sources of the South African Union were used in it, but its successful con clusion probably means that despite the fact that German East Africa re mains unconquered a contingent will be dispatched to France, while ad ditional forces will continue the cam paign in East Africa. The final disposition of German Southwest Africa has not been offi cially announced, but it generally is believed here that it will become a part of the South African Union. After suppressing the rebellion against British authority In the Union of South Africa General Botha took command of British operations against German Southwest Africa and headed an invasion of that territory late In February. His operations were re ported to be successful. The forces under his command cap tured Olymbingue on May 4. Two days later it was announced that he had occupied the important railway junction of Karlblb and other stations after a march of thirty-five miles over a waterless,waste during which the troops suffered severely from heat, thirst and hunger. The road to Windhoek, capital of the German territory, was opened by the occupation of Keetmanshop. Wind hoek was taken May 13 without oppo sition on the part of the German forces. Martial law was proclaimed throughout the conquered territory. Reports from London recently have stated that the surrender of all the German forces was expected soon. British military experts have contend ed that General Botha has conducted a masterly campaign. German Southwest Africa Is located on the west coast of Africa, extend ing from the Orange river to the Cu ncne river, about 900 miles. It lies between Portuguese West Africa and Cape Colony, extending eastward to the British sphere. The area is 324,420 square miles. The population is 79,556. chiefly Hottentots and bush men. The European population in 1913 was 14.816, of which 12.292 were Germans. The military force, includ ing police, is given in the latest reports a-j 2.992. CHAS, J. WATSON MOB. L.

GERMAN REPLY WILL NOT SATISFY U. S. [Continued from First Page.] ntont unless the intent of the act was denied and reparation was promised. The negotiations over the conduct of German submarines have over shadowed the Lusitania case itself, but there were indications to-day that the new German note would cause a re turn to the Lusitania case as a fore most issue. Ambassador Gerard's dispatches containing the outline of the note and even some of the excerpts from it were somewhat garbled in transmission and it is not altogether certain that all the points made by Germany are clearly understood as yet. Of the chief questions at issue, how ever. the German Government, ac cording to officials of the United States, is not ready to concede Am ericans the right to travel anywhere on the high seas on unarmed merchant ships as contended for in the last Am erican note. Germany has suggested that Americans rnify travel on belli gerent ships if there is a guarantee in advance that they carry no munitions of war and are unarmed, and the ves sels are marked in such a way as to be distinguished in the war zone to German submarines, and if ther<! is notification of the departure and character of the ships. Scheme Would be Unneutral To comply with the suggestions in the view of many officials, would be an unneutral act on the part of the American Government, since it is not considered proper to notify one bel ligerent of the departure of another belligerent's ship. The proposals made by the German Government would not be objection able, it is declared, if arranged as be tween a belligerent in a modus Vivendi or a temporary arrangement concluded merely for a fixed periad of time. There is no indication, however, of any disposition on the part of the allies to separate passenger and con traband traffic but if proposals made in the form of suggestions to Great Britain had been conveyed by the United States it is believed in well In formed quarters here that pressure might have been brought to bear by the American Government to secure their adoption. It is understood that Count Von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador has informed his Government that the form of the proposals appear not to be satisfactory and has urged that if possible there be an agreement on the principle involved, leaving for further discussion the arrangement of a modus vivendi or an informal arrange ment concerning the separation of passenger and contraband traffic. HEAVY FIGHTING ON WARSAW BATTLEUNE [Continued from First Page.] Joseph Ferdinand, who in too swift an advance left liis army's left wing un covered, enabling the Russians to de liver an attack which cost the Aus trlans 15.000 men. From Pretoria, in South Africa, comes news that General Botha, at the head of the British forces ha.s com pleted the conquest of German South west Africa, accepting the surrender of all the German military forces there. A brief statement from Rome says there are no important changes along the Austro-Itallan battle lino but that the action on the various fronts is "developing regularly." Ambassador Gerard in Berlin has re ceived the German reply to the Am erican note on the Lusitania. Germans Relnforne West Reports continue to reach here by way of Holland that the Germans are sending heavy reinforcements to tho western front. The only news of the operations in that position, however, is contained In the brief Paris report which relates that a German assault directed against trenches which the British had captured on Tuesday southwest of PUken was broken with heavy losses under the fire of British artillery and French machine guns, and which admits that an attack was made in front, of Souchezz. The press controversy over the dis agreement between Viscount Haldane, former minister of war, and lord high chancellor, and David Lloyd-George, the minister .of munitions, grows In bitterness. Fuel was added to the fire to-day by the statement that if Major- General Sir Stanley von Donop, master general of ordnance, does not resign. Ijloyd-George will retire, and that if Major-General von Donop does resign he will be followed In this action by his chief. Field Marshal Lord Kitch ener . The controversy also has de veloped the fact that the mysterious cabinet munitions committee was headed by Lord Kitchener. The official press bureau has finally released the statement that it wns a British submarine which sank a Ger man warship In the Baltic. Till* be lated confirmation, coming flv« days after the news of the identity of the attacking craft had been published in the continental newspapers. French Gain Victories Sanguinary clashes have occurred along the western battle line from the river Aisne to the Vosges. In the lat ter region the French claim a notable success. They report having retaken the trenches captured by the Germans on June 22 and continued their ad vance until they had gained 700 yards along a 600-yard front. The German statement admits that hill-top trenches here were destroyed by French artil lery fire and had to be evacuated. The French report having recap tured part of the trenches recently taken by the Germans between Fey en- Haye and Le Pretre forest, but concede the German claim to an ad vance in the same neighborhood. Ivy Spray Takes Place of Colors on Breasts of All Belgian Patriots By Associated Press Brussels, via London, July 9, 1.36 a. m.—The Belgians have suddenly adopted the practice of wearing sprays of ivy as an expression of loyalty to Belgium and the allies. General Von Bissing, the military governor of Belgium, a few days ago issued an order prohibiting the dem onstrative display of Belgian colore as personal adornment. The Belgians obeyed the order but the following day almost every man. woman and child blossomed out with an Ivy spray, the significance of which, in the language of flowers, is: "Attachment; united unto death." RIVER WILL GO TO 13 FEET TOMORROW [Continued from First Page.] Tils was a warning of thirty-six hours in advance of the expected crest stage and was of great value to the construc tion company in the saving of valuable machinery from the waters. This morning the contractor was told that the flood would go to at least twelve feet from all present indications. At Wilkes-Barre a stage of about 2.1.5 feet was reached at noon to-day, flooding the west bank with 4>£ of water. The river at this point is ex pected to crest at 13 feet to-morrow afternoon or evening. It will begin to rise rapidly to-night. Rises Foot an Hour At Binghamton, N. Y., 4.18 inches of rain fell, the river rising at the rate of a foot an hour. At this place almost 2 Inches of rain In thirty minutes caused several of the smaller streams to overflow and held up trolley traffic for some time. No serious property damage was reported, hut some of the crops are believed to have been de stroyed. The storm, which was central near Pittsburgh yesterday, causing so much trouble and loss of life in the West, has moved off the New England coast, increasing in velocity as it passed oat to sea.
