The Teutonic forces engaged in this battle included not only Austrian but German forces. The Russians main tain that S.OOO prisoners exclusive of the dead or wounded measure the ex tent of their victory and that it would have been more pronounced but for their inferiority In artillery. The German center is forging for ward slowly by virtue of sustained pressure, but in the north Field Mar shal von Hindenburg is still unable to force a passage ot the Dvina. Grand Duke Nicholas, removed as commander-in-chief of the Russian forces, is to-day on his way to his new headquarters In the Caucasus. Pend ing further development?-., the Russian and English press is unable to fathom just what this transfer means. It is suggested in some quarters that the shift may be a forerunner of an im portant Russian diversion on the Turkish frontier in connection with the British attempt to force the Dar danelles. By means of air raids, gunfire from the sea and artillery bombardments at many places on the western front, the French fnd British continued to ham mer German positions.

I* _ HARRISBURG (££&* TELEGRAPH OUR BIRD POPULATION By Frederic J. Has kin [Continued From Editorial Page.] areas of timber tracts both of decidu ous and evergreen trees. Flock Around Humans It may surprise most people to know that the birds are thicker In areas near to human habitation. Not withstanding their suffering at the hands of men, birds evidently love human companionship and prefer to build their homes near those of man kind. The efforts of the Audubon So ciety and kindred organizations have secured a great interest in bird pro tection in many rural communities and the localities in which this pro tection has been longest established show the largest percentage of birds. The highest number of birds to the acre so far recorded was on a tract at Chevy Chase. Maryland, where the average was seven pairs. It is claimed that this large number is due to the encouragement given to the feathered tribe by the residents of the neighbor hood. Nesting boxes are liberally provided. Shrubbery and trees are available for the birds preferring to build their own nests and every pre caution Is. taken to protect them from fright or injury. The owner of one-half acre lot in Chevy Chase had 13 pairs of birds rais ing young ones upon ills premises last year. He provided a permanent bird bath for their convenience. Next to Chevy Chase comes a tract of fifteen acres near Kennilworth, Illinois, where birds have been protected for several years. The enumerator counted eighty-four pairs of birds upon this tract. Robin Most Abundant All the enumerators did not report the v arieties of birds because they did not know them but the census indi cates that the robin is the most abun dant species in the nation as it appear ed upon all but three of the reports taken last year, and upon all of the reports yet tabulated for this year. The English sparrow, which is much objected to even by most bird lovers, ranks next to the robin in point of numbers. Of the other birds it is in dicated that for each 100 robins there are forty-nine catbirds, thirty-seven brown thrushes, twenty-eight house wrens, twenty-seven kingbirds and twenty-six bluebirds. The bluebirds are in great favor everywhere. Bird lovers who know that almost the entire bluebird popu lation of the eastern part of the coun try perished seevral years ago dur ing an unusually severe winter will be glad to hear that the tribe is recover ing from the catastrophe and now numbers several millions. Aside from the practical value of the service the bird renders the far mer by the destruction of insects detrimental to his crops, there has come a tremendous recognition of the esthetic value of bird life in the coun try within the last decade. Nature study in the public schools, the Boy- Scout movement and several other in fluences have aided this. Boys no longer rob bird's nests of their eggs or pride themselves upon killing rob ins with their pop-guns or air rifles. Instead they are learning to protect them from pther destructive influences and are building thousands of bird houses each year in their manual training classes. Many Protective Measures The Federal and State Governments are co-operating to protect the birds from injury. Each year the shooting laws are becoming more protective especially for the smaller birds. Bird refuges, under private and public aus pices, are also increasing. The United States Government has now seventy-four bird reserves scat tered over the country to provide quiet nooks for their protection. Ten of them have been established within the last two years. One of these is the old parade ground of the Fort Niobrara Military Reservation in Ne braska. It has been fenced in and a general invitation given to all birds to come in and have a good time at Uncle Sam's expense. A considerable amount of attention is now being given to the cultivation of wild plants and weeds bearing the seeds which the birds prefer as food. A list of these seed-bearing plants has been compiled by the Department of Agriculture and may be secured by any bird lover. A number of women's clubs are having these plants culti vated in public parks for the benefit of the birds of the community. The cat is the greatest menace to the bird life of the country and much consideration is now being given to some plan for restricting the feline race. In residential districts, stray cats can be abolished by the pound or some other restrictive measure. Even the most cherished pet cat cannot, however, be entirely cured of bird eating proclivities. In some communi ties, inverted tin collars, of sufficient size to prevent Puss from climbing over them, are being fastened upon all trees in which birds are nesting. But it is not only in the towns and villages that the cat interferes with bird life. Millions of cats are now to be found scattered throughout the woods of the entire country. They are animals which have escaped or been driven out from domesticity and have returned to their native wild state. The habit of taking unwel come cats to the edge of the woods and dumping them there is costing the : lives of millions of young birds each i year. Exterminating Many Cats Trappers, during the last ten years have been capturing many cats in the snares set for animals bearing more valuable fur. They are already be ginning a vigorous campaign of vat extermination and many sportsmen are joining in it. A naturalist, who was two years ago conducting a scientific study of the physical resources of Central Cali fornia, came upon an especially at tractive forest which was literally swarming with cats. He only found four bird nests in an area of over twenty miles and was fortunate enough to rescue one of these from a cat 1 which was creeping up to secure a I breakfast of young birds. He ordered I his men to destroy as many cats as possible. Several other parties made i war upon the cats and a visit to the 1 forest this summer showed that an encouragingly large number of birds : had returned to a forest which nature j had designed for their use. The Audubon Society is now facing : a division upon the cat question. A j canvas of the oats in a Massachusetts i township last Spring was followed by a request that restrictive measures bo ; taken for the sake of the birds. But j many members of the Audubon So ciety are lovers of cats as well as birds and the wholesale cat exter mination advocated by part of the organization is meeting with opposi tion. Some of the census enumerators are volunteering reports as to' the number of cats in the neighborhoods iin which the canvasses are made. ! Such information may have some tm j portant bearing upon the situation. ' ARTIST PfT OX ADVISORY COMMIITTEE FOR CARNIVAL/ J. A.

This Rood news was brought yes terday by President Frank DeWan, of the Harrisburg club. There is a strong probability that Richmond will be transferred to a more advantageous location. Manager Dunn said during the re cent series at Richmond that he was ready to take up the Harrisburg propo sition in case the New York Americans did not exercise their option on the Harrisburg club. Rochester and To ronto are both lined up for this city. Manager DeWan said: "Conditions under which Harrisburg may continue as an International League city will be outlined some time during December. What these conditions will be no one can tell at this time. They will likely cover plans for necessary improvements at the baseball field and coupon book ar rangements covering part of the ex pense. In mv opinion there will he no demands Harrisburg cannot meet." INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE SCORES At Buffalo— R. H. E.

Scarcity of Steel Cuts Down Output of Fords Special to The Telegraph New York, Sept. 9. An extra ordinary development in the steel situ ation became known yesterday. Ow ing to inability to secure good steel deliveries, production of the Ford Motor Company during July and August was cut down from a normal capacity of 1,000 cars daily to about 300 cars a day. With this condition applying to the Ford company, it was thought in the trade that other auto mobile manufacturers were doubtless experiencing similar conditions. The United States Steel Corporation will issue on Friday its August ton r nage statement. Little if any Increase in the amount of unfilled tonnage on September 1 is looked for. China Would Extend Relations With U. S. Washington. D. C., Sept. 9.—Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce, an nounced to-day the receipt of a letter from David Z. T.

Regularly Good For 24 Years DR. DIXON SPEAKS ON HEALTH CONDITIONS Discusses the Outbreaks at Dan-k ville and Erie Where State Officers Are at Work Commissioner of Health Samuel G. Dixon, when interviewed relative to the present epidemic of infantile par alysis at Erte which is alarming the residents of that city, said: "Poliomyelitis has been known to the medical profession of the world since 1840, and in America since 1896. Epidemics of considerable size have being reported at varying intervals throughout the North Temperate Zone from 1887 to the present time, the first great outbreak in this country occur ring in Vermont in 1894. Serious and far-reaching epidemics occurred in the United States in 1910 and subsequent ly. Pennsylvania had an epidemic of neary two hundred cases in the vi cinity of Dußois and EauClaire, Ridg way and Oil City in 1907, a small out break in the vicinity of Gettysburg in 1908 and a State-wide outbreak in 1910, including a total of more than 1,000 cases. , "The disease is sudden and insid ious in onset, accompanied by diges tive disturbances, slight fever and of ten considerable stupor, a red rash ap pearing in some Instances. The aver age case without appearing to be very sick at any time is only diagnosed about four or five days later'when paralysis occurs. "With the successful inoculation of monkeys in 1910 by virus from the brains or spinal cords secured from children dead of the disease, new in terest was aroused and since then re search workers in all parts of the world have sought the cause. "The causative factor is so small that it will pass readily through' the best of filters any may be found best with dark field microscopes of great magnification. In the department's research laboratories we have often transmitted infection from monkey to monkey. How it is transmitted fronr man to man is still in doubt, al though much evidence has accomu lated that would point the finger of suspicion toward biting insects. "It is well to disinfect all dwellings at the conclusion of the disease with both formaldehyde gas and with sul phur, sulphur to insure destruction of insect life; and if stables are near, to have them thoroughly disinfected and put in sanitary condition. Damp houses should be thoroughly dried out with heat." Taft Says Practically All Radical Reforms Have Lost Their Purpose Special to The Telegraph Seattle, Wash., Sept. 9.—Ex-Presi dent William H.
