league and the No-License league.
The Mingle case was the seventh
to be considered and It followed a
hearing on the remonstrance against
the re-licensing of Benjamin A. Strip
lin's new location at »45 North Sev
enth street.
Tlic Sign o' the First and last
Following the hearing in the Mingle
case, the remonstrance against re
licensing Edwin S. Miller, 433 Mar
ket street, was taken up.
All told thus far less than a dozen
remonstrances are yet to be heard and
it is confidently expected that the
testimony in these hearings will have
been heard by Wednesday or Thurs
day. The privilege granted in 1915 to
sell liquor expires on Wednesday and
if the court has not decided in the
i emonstranced cases by that time, the
bars will have to shut down.
The remonstrance liled against the
Washington Hotel, Cowden and Wal
nut streets, John A. Brouglier, pro
prietor, has been withdrawn.
The Tip to tllC Thirst y
Minglc's saloon is the only rum
.emporium east of Cameron street;
its gets its name by virtue of the sign
that swings over the pavement front
the door of the hostelry.
On the side facing toward the west
ern end of the city is the message of
warning to the thirstily inclined citi
zen on his way to the "dry" section
of Harrisburg—"Bast Call." On the
Hide of the sign facing toward the east
there is a message of greeting, as it
were, to the townward-bound citizen
—"First Call."
Prank Beer and At® Tripe
The principal complaint against the
hostelry was the fact that liquor had
frequently been sold to men who were
intoxicated. One particular Incident
f>3 related by the Rev. Harvey Klaer
rr.ferycd to a drunken man who lolled
across the bar and drank beer and ate
eold tripe.
The Striplin hearing was concluded
shortly before noon. The high light
in the remonstrance was testimony to
the effect that Striplin at his present
place, the Hotel Beroy, permitted wo
men to solicit men from table to table..!
Through an interpreter a foreigner ]
told of how a woman had approached '
his table and asked him if "he didn't
want a woman." He wasn't certain,!
however, that Striplin was in the room
at the time.

I Austrian embassy, followed Count j
p Von Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing's
office and conferred a few minutes.
i j No statement was made as to his visit:
i j but it was understood he told Mr. '
t! Lansing Austria's position w-as the !
-1 same as Germany's.
- The note at the outset reiterates I
: the previous pledges which were given j
I on September 1, and October 5. last
s year, for the safety of unresisting i

■ | German government does not believe j

i by the new memorandum. I <
1 Must Not Resist
; During the negotiations over the 1
; Lusitania, it says, no mention was
■ made of the armed merchantmen,
> and "hat the United States in one of !•
I its notes on the Lusitania mentioned |,
i unarmed merchantmen. Attention \ (
■ | then is called to the assurances pre- .
viously given ,in which it is stated ,
■ that liners will not be sunk without'.
• warning, provided they do not offer '
■ resistance. Attention also is called to
the statement of the American gov- :
crnment in its notice to port author- '
' ities that the presejise of armament on '
board a merchant vessel creates the 1
1 presumption that the vessel is armed 1
i for offense.
It is stated that a submarine com- j '
; j mander cannot be expected to warn I
'!an enemy merchantman which has a
■ right to fire on the submarine which t
i warns it. and the German government i
' sets up the contention that equipment t
and intention to resist a warning given t
by a submarine does not come within
' the definition of defensive armament. ] j
Germany contends that a similar j
viewpoint was taken by the United u
• States and that it secured assurances I
from the Italian government that lts|.
' armed merchant ships leaving Amer-i'
- lean ports would not fire on sub-1 1
' marines which warned them.
Question IT. S. Stand
'I The note then sets forth that the i;
I! German government did not issue its i t
j new Instructions to submarine com- ,
'jmanders until after it had come into j t
possession of confidential instructions
I by the British government to the com-'.
Inlanders of British merchantmen. It'
jis denied that armed British mer-j
(chant ships of any description are,®
j peaceful traders and It is declared' 1
j that the armament on board all of s
them is to be used especially for pur- !"
poses of attack. , 1
The charge is made that Austrian
submarines also have been attacked 'I
;by armed British merchantmen, which v
the note declares are not conforming ; I
land have no intention of conforming, c
• to the assurances given to the United i \
States by the British government in ajr
I memorandum of August 25, 1914, by;t
i Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British c
! ambassador. The German govern- i
j ment says it cannot see how the Am -1
etican government in consideration of 1 ,
I these facts, can regard armed British ! I
; merchantmen as peaceful trading
I ships.
| The note makes it clear that the
| Berlin government believes its new
instructions to submarine comniand
! ers are in accord with the viewpoint 1
! expressed by the United States in its I
; memorandum proposing a modus,
; Vivendi to the entente allies, for the j
< disarmament of merchant ships.
Unarmed ships Safe
It declares that German submarine
{commanders have been so instructed
that they will not destroy a merchant- I
| ship on a question of armament unless'
it is known positively that such arma
ment exists. The declaration that j
previous pledges will not be revoked!
also is formally given.
The efforts of the United States to
have the belligerents agree to a modus j
; vivenidi, which would cause all mer-'
chant ships to he disarmed it is de-'
clared, are welcomed by Germany. 1
Then follows a declaration that the 1
German government will no longer
allow its submarines to be made the
j object of attacks in violation of thei
5 principles of international law and
i that, therefore, the new Instructions!
i will not be postponed or modified.
Sidestep Defiiintion
Appended to the communication, i /
which was signed by Count Von Bern- j'
storlT, was a list of about twenty inci- i
dents where it is charged German \
I and Austrian submarines have been
j attacked by merchantmen armed
; ostensibly for defensive purposes. At.
I no place in the communication is it J

I chant ships and the question of what
; constitutes defensive armament is not i
j brought up although it is admitted in
various quarters that such a question j
I probably will be raised. |
Secretary Lansing is understood to I

diplomats what the views of the |

UNIVERSITY MEN
TO HOLD BANQUET
Committee Invites College Men
to "Get Together" Meeting
March 15
Promoters of the proposed Univer
sity Club for the benefit of university
and college graduates in Harrisburg
and vicinity have been quietly making
plans for the second step in organiza
tion, in ascertaining the sentiment of
university men here with regard to
establishing such a club. The first in
formal dinner at the Harrisburg Club
several weeks ago proved a pleasant
gathering and at that dinner more
than thirty men, all of those present,
declared themselves as enthusiastically
in favor of the establishment of a
University Club for Harrisburg.
Acting upon this indication of a fa
vorable attitude toward the proposi
tion the committee held a meeting
this afternoon and announced that a
university banquet would be given at
the Harrisburg Club on March 15,
and that the following speakers had
been secured: President Edwin E.
Sparks, of State College: Dr. J. George
Becht, member of the board of trus
tees of Lafayette College, and possibly
Vance C. McCormick, member of the
Yale Corporation. President Hibben,
of Princeton, nnd Hadley, of Yale,
both regretted their inability to be
present.
The banquet will be wholly a get
together affair, and Jhe various uni
versities will have separate tables al
loted them, with the purpose of stir
ring up university spirit as well as
gtving the men of one university the
opportunity of meeting and forming
pleasant associations with those of
other universities. A special orchestra
will be provided and there will be
smoking and singing.
The banquet will be open to all
graduates in this vicinity or those who
I have spent two or more years at a
i university. Mark T. Milnor, 1 North
j Third street, is temporary secretary.
RING IS THROWN
AROUND GERMANS
[Continued From First Page]
right flank, while the French attacks
on Fort Douaumont were repulsed.
The French themselves do not claim
the recapture of this outlying defense
of the main fortress, but declare that
the Germans, who had gained a foot
hold to the east and -west of the po
sition. were being hard pressed, main
taining themselves with difficulty.
Now that the Italians have evacu
ated Durazzo, their military forces so
far as Albania is concerned will be
confined to the vicinity of Avlona,
eighty miles to the south, according to
Italian newspapers. Durazzo is de
clared to have been held merely as a
base for the rescue of the remainder
of the Serbian army and was relin
quished when that purpose was ef
fected, but Avlona, near the entrance
to the Adriatic, is regarded as of the
greatest strategic importance.
French Lines in Vicinity
of Verdun Holding Firm;
Tide of Battle Changing
By Associated Press
Paris, Feb. 28. —So far as the
French official report of this after
noon shows the French lines in the
immediate vicinity of Verdun are
holding firm. The German attack "is
developing along the front to the east
and southeast.
At Fort Douaumont where the fight
ing has'been heaviest, the situation Is
unchanged. The fortress itself ap
parently is still held by the Germans.
In the village of Douaumont. a few
hundred yards from the fort there
was a furious struggle last night. The
war office announces that German at
tempts to capture the village resulted
in failure.
Southeast of Verdun, over the line
bending south to St. Mihel, the Ger
mans are pressing the attack. The
French statement reports a futile Ger
man attack against Manheulles, ten
miles southeast of Verdun, which may
indicate an advance in that quarter,
although the precise location of the
front in this section has not been
made known.
German troops, by a surprise at
tack, have been successful in entering
certain advanced French trenches
near the Navarin farm, in the Cham
pagne district.
In the region to the north of Ver
dun the bombardment has continued
with intensity, particularly in the cen
tral sector and on our right.
Fort Closely Evacuated
German forces yesterday evening
made several attempts to capture the
village of Douaumont . Their efforts
were broken by the resistance of
French troops who withstood the most
furious assaults.
The situation at the Fort of Douau
mont Is without change. This fort is
closely encircled.
In the Woeve district the Germans
yesterday evening and last night as
sumed an attitude of greater activity.
The railroad station at Eix, after hav
ing changed hands several times,
finally remains in possession of the
French.
All the efforts of the Germans
against Hill No. 255, near Eix, were
without, result.
A German attack against the
French positions at Manheulles re
sulted in complete failure. French
artillery Is replying with energy to
the bombardment of the Germans
along this entire front.
Titanic Struggle
Impetuous counter attacks by
French troops north of Verdun in
which the Germans were thrown back
from many positions conquered by
them during the first four days of the
battle, according to reports from the
front, are considered as inaugurating
a second phase of the great action un
der conditions most favorable to the
defenders. Premier Brland told repre
sentatives of the press to-day how the
tide was turned.
"Caught between two barring flres,"
said M. Brland, "covered with shrap
nel on all sides, attacked by our fresh
divisions surging upon the field of
battle at an unexpected moment, the
Germans saw their efforts stopped
short. The struggle was a titanic one.
Our heroic troops went into the melee
frantically. Our light and heavy ar
tillery dug sanguinary furrows in the
compact ranks of the Germans.
"Finally exhausted, their ranks
decimated, the German armies retired
under our furious center attacks. We
have regained the advantage. In
stalled upon formidable positions our
heroic soldiers remained masters of
the fields of battle."

SMITH'S!
by bombs, the Overseas News Agency i
says.
The news agency statement, which i
supplements the accounts given out
yesterday of the damage done by the
airship attack on England on the night !
of January 31 and February 1, fol- j
lows:
At Birmingham two government fac- !
tories and two ammunition factories j
were destroyed. One brewery was I
damaged at Eccleshill. Near Bradford i
one ammunition factory and three j
spinning mills were wrecked. At Part- |
ington one Ijomb destroyed twenty- j
two houses.
On the Humber a battery was!
silenced, the cannon and searchlights j
being destroyed. At Griinsby and in j
the vicinity of Hull considerable dam- I
age was done, as was also the cAase !
at Sheffield.
The cruiser Carolina and the de
stroyers Eden- and Nith were sunk.
The Carolina sank in six minutes.
A Berlin dispatch on February 10
said that the three warships mentioned |
had been sunk during the Zeppelin !
raid. This was denied by the Brit- j
ish government, which stated that
neither the Carolina nor any other
British warship nor any merchant ship
was struck by a bomb.
Ragged Women Plead
With Grecian Chamber to
Return Their Husbands
Athens, Greece, Feb. 28.—Barefoot
and ragged women in large numbers, j
many with babies in arms, proceeded |
from the quarters of the working;
classes yesterday to parliament,
stopped in-going deputies and pleaded
that the chamber relieve the distress'
caused by mobilization of the men I
and nonpayment of allowances to
their families. There was no dis-J
order. Several deputies, moved by the
pitiful demonstration, addressed the
women, promising relief.
The members of parliament have
been engaged principally In recrimlna- I
tions, the disputes giving rise to 101
frequent duels. Leaves of absence for i
soldiers, inaugurated last month are
gradually bringing about demoblliza
tion. The Greek troops which were;
stationed in Macedonia and Thessaly |
are being withdrawn to Old Greece, !
facilitating the return of soldiers with
needy families in time for the Spring
seeding.

fice to-day.

more than 1,000 men and nine ma
chine guns were captured.
In the Verdun region fresh French :
reserves were exhausted in fruitless;
efforts against Fort Douaiimont. The

It is said that all French troops
have been driven from the Meuse
peninsula.
Crew of Cedric, Used For
Transport Service Reticent
New York, Feb. 28.—-Officers of the
White Star Liner Cedric, here to-day
for the first time since November,
! 1914, when she was requisitioned by
j the British government as a t rants -
J port for troops declined to reveal any
thing concerning the government ser
j vice In which the big transAtlantic
j liner has been engaged.
Members of the crew as well as
j officers said they were under pledge
| to the British authorities to tell noth
j ing concerning the Cedric's war movc
j ments. It has been reported that the
j steamer was used to carry troops to
France, Kg.vpt and the Dardanelles.
The only outward sign of the Cedric's
t use in the war was the gray paint
1 which covered her superstructure and
! the hinged steel plates that hid her
ports so that she could pass unseen in
the night. She was released by the
| Admiralty to carry war munitions and
! supplies from this country to England
but Is still ready for transport ser
vice when desired.

I to-day authorized tlie installation of
I electric lights. The basement rooms
bad formerly been used as a "lock
up." Electric lights will also be placed
i in the County Treasury.
"OVER-WORKED MAN
! Bank Cashier Almost a Wreck
i —How He Regained Strength.
Harrlsburg people will realize that
! this is one more link in the wonderful
chain of evidence proving that Vlnol,
i our delicious cod liver and iron tonic,
has no equal to create strength.
Sir. Chas. A. Ogle, Monrovia, Md„
says:
j "For many years I was a school
j teacher, theft for three years was
1 Deputv Clerk in Frederick County,
! Md., and for the last three years 1
have been Cashier of the First Na-
I tional Bank. My nerves got in such
j a bad condition, and with poor as
| similation of food, I was fast becom
i ing a physical and mental wreck. See
! Ing an advertisement for Vlnol, I pur
chased a bottle, and found it to be ex
! actly what I needed. It has not only
benefited my nerves, but built me up
; both mentally and physically, and I
j want to recommend it to anyone suf
fering as I did."
! Try a bottle of Vlnol with the un
derstanding that your money will be
j returned if it does not help you.
