FIUIS OPPOSE
LOAN FOR MUNITIONS
Commission Understood to Want
Money For Purchase of
Army Supplies
By Associated Press
New York, Sept. 18. —The two
parties to the negotiations looking to
the creation of a mammoth credit loan
here t$ Great Britain and France met
in secret again to-day in an effort to
adjust their differences over this ques
tion: Shall the big credit—billion
dollars or otherwise—provide funds
for the payment of munitions of war,
ns well as wheat, cotton and other
commodities, or shall a separate and
distinct method be adopted in settling
the bill for rifles, shrapnel, war auto
mobiles, aeroplanes, and other items
coming under the meaning of the word
munitions.
The Anglo-French financial com
mission, which is conducting negotia
tions on behalf of Great Britain and
France is said to want the credit to
take care of munitiorife.
The American bankers—or what ap
pears to be a majority of them—ap
parently do not. In their camps,
however, there is marked division of
opinion, while the commission is re
ported to he unanimous.
The so-called pro German financiers
of New York, it is understood, are
willing to subscribe liberally to a loan,
if none of the money be spent in
paying for munitions of war.

readjustment is expected following
Field Marshal Von Mackensen's cap
ture of Pinsk.
Reports that the Austrians and Ger
mans have decided to initiate a new
offensive campaign are multiplying
but there is little concrete evidence
concerning the direction which It may
be expected to take. Cabling from
Rotterdam, several correspondents as
sert they have reasons to believe the
central powers have not only decided
to strike a heavy blow but have al
ready put underway the preliminary
military movements.
No Great Concentration
The objective of the new campaign
is generally believed to be either Italy
or Serbia. Apparently there has not
been any great concentration of troops
along the Danube and Save rivers.
Considerable activity has been dis
played along the front recently. Aus
trian attempts to cross the rivers have
been checked and. according to offi
cial reports from Nish, Serbian artil
lery has destroyed fortified works on
the banks of the rivers.
It is felt here that the Balkan prob
lem has reached a critical stage. The
Turco-Bulgarian agreement, coupled
with the announcement of Premier
Aadosavoff, of Bulgaria, that public
opinion was opposed to any attack on
Turkey, seems to have settled the at
titude of the Bulgarians, at least as
long as the Dardanelles remain closed
to the entente powers.
There probably will be no further
developments in the controversy over
conscription until Parliament meets
again next week.
AUSTRIAN MOVEMENT EXTENDED
Nish, Serbia, Sept. 18, via London.
11.16 A. M. The new Austrian move

Elector of Mexican
Parentage Wants on
Registration Books
The first American citizen of Mex
ican birth that ever registered a's a
prospective elector in Harrisburg filed
his petition to-day for a place on the

The Mexican-American was one of
niore than seventy who wanted on the

unable to personally register on the
three regular days.
The clerks were busy to-day receiv
ing late petitions, distributing election
supplies in the county districts, etc.
With the exception of two districts of
Susquehanna, five from Swatara and
one from Middle Paxton townships, all
the supplies were sent out to-day. Be

Chandler Sixes Proving
Popular in Local District
Andrew Redmond reports a com
plete clean-up of all Chandler cars In
stock this week, but was fortunate in
receiving another shipment yesterday.
In speaking of the Chandler's success
Mr. Redmond said: "After all, per
haps the real test of a ear is not its
ability to rush a hill or steep grade,
but the fact that it can take the grade
at low speed without visible distress
to the motor. In the Ashland contest,
the Chandler Six won the event, de
feating three eight-cylinder cars, four
sixes and one high-powered four. The
Chandler traveled up the four per cent,
grade for nearly a mile in the time of
four minutes, twenty-six seconds. The
next car to finish was almost a full
minute faster in its ascent. Some
tribute to Chandler flexibility, eh?"

fluence in the community. It is
highly important, friends of Dr. Keene
and Mr. Enders point out, that the
people should have full confidence in
their school directors, especially since
the needs of the city are approaching
a crisis with respect to the building
of a new high school.
The names of Messrs. Enders and
Keene and A. Carson Stamm have
been linked by Republicans as men of
high standing in the community and
who would be as independent in
school affairs as' they have been in
private life. There is absolutely no
truth in the report that they are
pledged to anybody or anything other
than a proper administration of the
office if elected, and indications were
bright to-day for victory for all three
at the primaries next Tuesday.
Aldermanic Contests
Some attention was being paid to
day to the ward contests by alder
men who desire renomination or who
aspire to the office. In the first ward
Alderman John B. Nicholas will he
renominated by the Republicans
while George W. Fields is unopposed
for the Washington and Democratic
nominations. In the Second, Alder
man S. Brady Caveny will have easy
sailing, having no opposition either
within or without his party, and Aaron
H. Landis is in the same enviable po
sition in the Sixth.
In the Seventh there is a big mix
up, no less than 12 candidates being
In the race. The Republican aspir
ants are former Councilmen Frank
Nickels and George D. Toomey, Wil
liam S. Moses, Jacob W. Katz, J. Grant
Hoffman, Harry M. Frank, William A.
Bowers and John E. Bowers. Wil
liam Clelland, William H. Filling, Jr.,
Wm. H. Moore and John H. Shaner
are out for the Democratic nomina
tion, and Shaner and John E. Bowers
are Washingtdn county candidates as
well.
As usual Charles P. Walter has both
the Democratic and Republican nom
inations "cinched" in the Eighth ward
while George A. Hoverter is unop
posed for renomination by the Re
publicans of the Ninth. Clarence E.
Backenstoss, the Democratic aspirant,
and Hoverter are both after the Wash
ington party nomination.
G. L. Klinepeter and W. F. Shoe
maker are seeking the Republican
place on the aldermanic ticket in the
Tenth and George W. MacWilllams is
slated for the Democratic nomination.
A. W. Hoster, Sr., and John S. Lutz
are lighting it out for the Democratic
aldermanic place in the Thirteenth,
while Adam Hoster and George B.
Sprout are contending on the Republi
can side, with Hoster, Sr., and Lutz
also seeking the Washington nomina
tions in that ward.
Orth Delighted With
Prospects For Fair
and Speedway Here
"I am more than delighted with the
trip and what I saw convinces me
of the splendid opportunity before the
Keystone project for this city," said
W. E. Orth, one of the directors of
the Keystone State Fair and Indus
trial Exposition Company, who had
just returned from a visit to the Syra
cuse Fair and an insnection of the new
automobile speedway at Sheepshead
Bay.
"At Syracuse we were the guests of
Secretary Brown ,of the big fair there,
who will become associated with the
Keystone Fair as an official." Mr. Orth
continued. "Pesnite the heat 60,000
people attended the fair the day we
were there and it is a big paying in
stitution. The hotels were crowded
to capacity and the affair meant much
to Syracuse. At Sheepshead we found
the new sneedway almost completed,
with a seatine- r-aopcltv in stands and
bleachers of about 75,000, and 100.000
tickets sold in advance for the first
races, insuring an income of about
$300,000 for the initial event.
"In New York we arranged with the
automobile contest association for a
big mept here when our track is com
pleted.'"
Mr. < 'rth was accomnanied by TV. J.

Studebaker Agency With
Local Ford Sales Company
P. Driscoil. manager of the Ford |
Sales Co., has received the first Stude- I
baker demonstrator and will represent j
this line of "cars in addition to the ,
Ford. As the cars are in a different !
price class there will be no conflict ■
whatever. In speaking of a Stude- |
bakef transcontinental run, Mr. Dris
coil said:
"The performance of the Studebaker
car in the coast-to-coast tour of the '
Lincoln Highway is regarded uy
motorists as being little short of ;
phenomenal. Traveling country rough
from hills and mountains, and over
roads rutted and water logged in '
places where highway improvement I
was under way by the unusual rains 1
of the present year, the Studebaker !
made the 5,373 miles from New York!
to San Francisco without replacement !
of a single part. Nor was it neces
sary to take down the motor, or over- !
haul It, during the trip. Not only was!
the staunchness of the Studebaker fori
long distance touring and hard usage
proven, but the fact which is decidedly
interesting to motorists, was developed
that Studebaker service stations aver
age one to every 31.5 miles along the
Lincoln Highway, and also, that be
tween New York City and Laramie,
Wyo„ a distance of 2041 miles, there
are but three instances where an au
tomobile tourist need travel further
than 50 miles to lind a Studebaker
representative. The longest of these
three stretches Is 73 miles.
"The highway trip was for the pur
pose of making motion pictures of
the route and its many points of in
terest, that are to be exhibited over the
i-ountry. The start was made from
New York City Saturday, May 15, and
the trip was completed August 25,
requiring longer time than the sched
ule first called for, due to inclement
weather interfering with the work of
the camera men. The Studebaker not
only covered the 5,3 75 miles without
replacement of a single part, or re
quiring engine overhauling, but it at
tained the remarkable average of 13.5
miles per gallon gasoline. This despite
the fact that the route crosses throe;
mountain ranges. The car has been j
placed in the Palace of Transportation i
at the Panama-Pacific exposition, to
remain there until the close. It looks
and runs as well, according to li. C. ]
Sackett, the Studebaker representa- j
tive on the trip, as the day the rear
wheels dipped into the Atlantic at
Coney Island, headed for the Pacific, j
At the end, to make it an actual ocean
to-ocean journey, the fore wheels of
the Studebaker, Packard and Stutz
cars, comprising the cavalcade, were
run into the Pacific.
"The transcontinental tourists were
met outside of Oakland by Mayor
Rolph, of San Francisco, heading 800
automobiles, which served as an escoit
into the exposition grounds, where
they were received with honors befit
ting an event of such national inter
est and importance."

Schools of City Have
Made Wonderful Stride
in the Last Fifteen Years
No better proof of the wonderful
strides made in the development of
city schools during the last fifteen
years could be offered than statistics
compiled by Secretary Daniel D.
Hammelbaugh which show that dur
ing the period the attendance increas
ed twenty per cent, necessitating new
buildings and improvements which
cost more than a million dollars.
Improvements in the courses and in
novations ran far into the thousands.
Teachers salaries of $260,012.71 for
1915 are three times as great as the
wages paid fifteen years ago. Janitor
wages, school supplies, repairs and
furniture also run three times as
great as in the old days when there
were 190 teachers compared with 308
now.
During the period of fifteen years
thirteen new buildings were erected or
remodeled at a total cost of $921,-
879.80. They are the Cameron annex,
Camp Curtin, Lincoln, Technical High,
Vernon, Foose, Hamilton. Woodward,
Melrose, High school annex, Calder,
Shimmell and Steele.
Items of expense this year that did
not obtain in 1900 are Medical inspec
tion, teachers' retirement fund. Techni
cal High, open-air schools, domestic
arts, public library and the dental
clinic. The expense of these total
nearly $30,000 a year.
Notwithstanding these great strides
in development and the resultant ex
pense the school tax has only increased
from six to eight and one-half mills.
With the exception of $45,000 from
the State each year all expenses are
met through taxation.

to submit to Russia.
Van again is in the hands of the
Russians who are declared to have
found the canals and trenches choked
with untold thousands of bodies >f
Armenians who had been unable to
escape and were killed.
It is stated that in addition to the
mission all the better buildings in the
city were burned, including the home
of the governor and the headquarters
ot the Armenian government. The
massacre, the missionaries report, was
directed by Jevdet Bey who had burn

took a terrible vengeance for the rais

Judge McCarrell, who returned this

the celebration of the improvements
and expressed himself to-day In these
words: "We are just beginning to
properly appreciate the value of the
public improvements which have been
made in the last fifteen years. Our
improved sewerage system, our paved
streets, our parks, playgrounds and
filtration plant are a matter of pride
and delight to every citizen. As we
look at what lias been done no one
can seriously doubt the wisdom of the
expenditure which has produced these
results. The improvement which, in
my opinion, is closest to the welfare of
every citizen is our splendid filtration
plant. Every resident of the city is
enjoying its benefits, and the relief
from disease which has been brought
sibout through its operation has
brought comfort to every home in the
city, and for this improvement our
people should be particularly grateful."
