says that it was uncontradicted that
employes of the defendant company
were not required to purchase sup-1
plies needed in their work from the
company, but could buy them where
they pleased. "Before a practice or
usage can rise to the dignity of a cus

compulsory. In other words, a custom]
w-hich is optional Is no custom at all,"
says the opinion. It holds that there

the computation.

BETHLEHEM GETS
RUSSIAN ORDER
Shares in 365,000-Ton Rail Re
quirements; Week's
Buying Heavy
"New foreign buying both for war
and peace uses,' says the Iron Age to
day, "continues to be the mainstay of
the steel market. In only one direc
tion has domestic demand made itself
felt in the past week; that was in the
placing of orders for the first half of
lyi7 by a portion of the agricultural
implement manufacturers.
"The buying of the allied countries
is heavy, and promises to be so for
months. Russia's tonnages are specta
cular. Her much announced rail
orders, as now rounded up, represent
fully 365,000 tons, and more rails are
wanted. In fact, the question is how
much our mills can guarantee to de
liver by the middle of 1917. Lacka
wanna, Cambria and Bethlehem mills
share these orders with the Steel Cor
poration. The French Government
asks for 20,000 tons additional rails.
Great Britain, after putting 50,000
tons on the Steel Corporation's books
ir. the past three months, still seek
more, and with Canadian mills trying
to buy rail blooms on this side, it Is n
question how much they can take of
the 30,000-ton inquiry that has Just
come from the Canadian Pacific. The
Russian rails were hign-priced, but
the $52 widely published includes
spikes and splice bars.
"The other striking feature in ex
port trade is 165,000 tons of bar®
wire for Russia, just closed by tne
Steel Corporation. This has long hung
over the market. The allies are still
Hying to place 100,000 ions of barb
wire, in addition to a round lot want
ed for Italy.
"In exports apart from war is an
Inquiry for 30,000 tons of small bars.
Indicating that the shell-steel orders
have not given out, Pittsburgh was
asked Wednesday to take on "0,000
tons of rounds for Great" Britain, but
mills> there cannot make the deliveries
wanted. Canadian buyers are in the
market for shell forcings for the
second quarter of 1917.
"Indications are that the July out
put of the mills will fall below the
Jun< rate, as the Fourth of July shut
down stretched out to 4S hours, in
some cases, and hot weather is now
cutting down production. These fac
tors are offsetting some of the new
steel capacity scheduled to come in
from time to time."
Yovonovic is Held.—Vlada Yovono
vtc and Dusan Despotov, the two for

Bothersome Questions
Apt to Arise Over Boat
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C., July 13.—Al
though the contention of the British
and French embassies that the Ger
man submarine merchant ship at Bal
timore is a battleship has little weight
at the State Department in view of
the department's information that the
vessel is purely a mercantile ship, offi
cials to-day saw that other bothersome
questions might arise in connection
with the undersea boat.
Already, it was said, consideration
is being given to a suggestion that the
government should withhold news of
the boat's sailing to prevent Information
from reaching the allies. The depart
ment is concerned, too, as to the boat's
treatment if discovered by enemy
cruisers in the Atlantic. Under a rul
ing that the vessel is a merchant craft,
the State Department could not coun
tenance its sinking In violation of in
ternational law.

Washington Hears U-Boat
Warfare Will Be Resumed
Washington. D. C.. July 13.—Reports
of the renewal of Germany's submarine

that the overthrow of Chancellor Von
Belimann-Hollweg and the turning
loose of German submarines within
three months would take place unless
President Wilson acts against the
British blockade were received in
Washington without official perturba
tion, however.
According to the reports, the follow
ers of Von Tirpitz, who directed the
submarine campaign, are lining up for
another flght on the German Chancel
lor, whose policy towards the United
States has been conciliatory. President
Wilson still feels that there is little
danger that the submarine warfare will
be resumed. He feels that this issue
has been settled definitely, regardless
of the political situation in Germany.

INFANTRY QUIET
Paris, July 13.—Therer was no In
fantry fighting of importance last night
on the Verdun l'ront or over the por*
tion of the Somme front held by the
French, to-day's official report says.
Intermittent artillery engagements oc
curred in the Somme sector. In the
icinity of Souville, Chenois and
La Laufee, before Verdun, a heavy
bombardment was maintained by the
Germans.
In the Champagne the French pene
trated a salient of the German front
and took prisoners. Two German raids
in the Argonne were stopped by the
French fire.
Cossacks Charge on Foe's
Trenches With Their Trained
Horses; New Russian Idea
Berlin, July 13. Russia's Cos
sacks of the steppes and their high
ly trained horses are playing a start
ling role in the onslaughts of General
Brusiloff's armies upon the German
and Austrian lines in Southern Volhy
nia and Galicia, according to dis
patches from the eastern front to the
Berlin papers.
The earlier dispatches told of ap
parently senseless charges of Cossack
cavalry upon the German barbed wide
and machine guns. It now appears
that the Russians have devised a new
method of attacking intrenched posi
tions, in wl ich they utilize the speed
of the Cossack horses and the skill of
their riders to carry them across open
spaces.
Open Lines For Cossack Dash
The Russian infantry work their
way forward by rushes and dig them
selves In about 500 yards from the
German or Austrian trenches. Mean
while the Cossacks are brought for
ward behind the front line, which
then opens out to let them go through.
At a signal the Cossacks leap for
ward, deploying at the gallop to a
widely extended formation, and rush
on the German machine guns, every
man lying along the side of his horse
and every horse coming at the dead
run. Owing to their open order and
their speed they are able to get close to
the German lines with fewer casualties
than infantry would suffer.
Then, when they seem about to
rush to destruction on the barbed
wire and machine guns, all pull up,
drop to the ground and open fire, the
horses, perfectly trained, lying down
[to form breastworks. The riflemen
open a furious fire upon the German
positions, under cover of which the
Russian infantry rush across the dan
ger space and form for the real charge.
Sometimes the Cossacks, mad with
excitement, fail to understand why
they must halt in midcareer and not
rush on in a charge such as their
grandfathers would have made, but
which is hopeless against barbed wire
and machine guns.

MOVING TROOPS
Used 500 Cars Hauling Sol
diers From Mt.
Gretna
Trainmaster M. A. Laucks, of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad,
who had charge of the train move
ment during the mobilization of the
National Guard at Mt. Gretna, re
turned to this city yesterday and re
ported that during the occupation of
the troops there, his company used a
total of 264 cars. 150 coaches. 17
sleepers, 18 baggage cars, 1 combina

railroad established headquarters on
June 27 with D. L. Mauger, district
passenger agent, R. B. RasDrldge, sup
erintendent of the car department, A.
T. Dice, Jr., and M. A. Laucks, in
charge at Mt. Gretna.
Mr. Laucks in discussing the part of
the railroads declared that every ef
fort was made to furnish the best
equipment possible for the use of the
soldiers and that coaches were taken
oft. the regular scheduled trains to
furnish enough cars.
The Rfeadlng had a force of twelve
car inspectors at Mt. Gretna looking
after the repairs, and six at Lebanon
during the same period. Every effort
was made to furnish the soldiers with
an amplo supply of ice water, officials
say. Forty men wer§ stationed at
Reading cleaning and icing the water
tanks to put them in a sanitary con
dition.
Mr. Laucks agreed in the statements
of Superintendent McCaleb of the
Pennsylvania, in regard to the hand
ing and equipping the trains. During
the time of the operations at Mt.
Gretna Superintendent R. B. Abbott
of the Harrlsburg Division, General
Manager C. H. Ewing Of Philadelphia

inexhaustible supplies of guns and
ammunition with which they are pro
vided continues to be a source of
wonder to military writers. At least
six great armies are engaged against
the Austrians and Germans on
Russia's western front. All of them
are using great quantities of ammuni
tion even those not definitely on the
offensive.
The forces under Grand Duke Nich
olas in Armenia and Persia have been
fighting vigorously against the Turks
for months. A few weeks ago parts
of these forces, particularly those west
of Erzerum, were compelled to fall
back in the face of a stronger army.
This week the Grand Duke resumed
the offensive In this region and re
captured Mamakhatum. fifty miles
west of Erzerum. so that the Turks
have fallen back some 25 miles from
the furthest point reached in their
counter offensive.
Meanwhile the armies directly south
of the Pinsk marshes are fighting a
pitched battle with the Austro-Ger
man forces of General Von Linsingen
along the line of the Stokhod river.
It probably will be some days before
the decision is reached, as the Teutons
have brought up very strong rein
forcements in the hope of retaining
possession of Kovel, loss of which
would necessitate a re-grouping over
a long stretch of the front.
North of the Pinsk marches fighting
at present is largely with artillery. In
Galicia the Russian armies are re
forming for continuation of the of
fensive.
In the west the renewed efforts of
the German Crown Prince at Verdun
temporarily are taking precedence in
the public mind over the battle of the
Somme. The attack Just delivered by
the Germans before Verdun is the sev
enth great onslaught with dense
masses of troops since the operations
began some five months ago. The
Germans have made a slight gain but
apparently this has not lessened the
confidence of the French in their abil
ity to hold fast. They still have three
r.olid lines of defense which must be
penetrated before the German objec
tive can be gained.
The British are still engaged in
I clearing the Germans from fortified
I positions which must be taken before
I the general offensive can be renewed.

or years the funds have been taken
I care of by the Commonwealth Trust
and the cou nty has netted a
nice little sum for letting the company
have this privilege. The net financial
return the county earned last year
rrom this source for Instance was
something above three per cent, on
«ocQ S nnA mo, i!L tingr t0 approximately
$-69,000 The trust company got
about $1,104 out of It, after paying the
county its share. This meant approx
half of one per cent.
The method by which the trust com
pany is paid in accordance with the
contract with the old board of com
missioners is what will interest the
county s conferees to-morrow. Con
troller Gough says he wants to know
on what basis this is fixed.
The act of 1911 provides that in
Population of less than
150,000, the county funds shall be
cared for by a sinking fund commis
sion consisting of the county commis
sioners, the controller an dthe treas
urer. Where no controller exists, the
auditors may serve.
The whole problem to be settled Is
whether or not the county authorities
serving as sinking fund commission
can earn more for the county than
wha*. is now earned by the trust com
pany. The latter pays more than
three per cent, and according to Mr.
Gough, It is doubtful if there are
any type of securities in which the
county would be permitted by law to
invest, which would net Dauphin
county as much as it now receives.

MGR. McDEVrfTNAMED
BISHOP OF HARRISBURG
[Continued From First Page]
assistant at the Church of the Nativity,
Allegheny avenue and Belgrade street.
He served there until he was appointed
superintendent of parish schools In
Hay, 1899. On the celebration of his
silver anniversary as a priest he was
created domestic prelate \ylth the title
of monsignor by Pope Pius X.
Mgr. McDevitt is widely known not
only in local circles, but nationally,
His work as a lecturer and his activi
ties as an educator brought him into
prominence. He is vice-president of
the playground commission and is act
ively interested in various philan
thropic enterprises. One of the monu
ments of his efforts in blhalf of the
children of this city is the Catholic
girls' high school, of which he is
head. He is at present attached to
the Church of St. John the Evan
gelist.
The appointment of Mgr. McDevitt !
as Bishop Shanahan's successor was j
received with some surprise In this l
city to-day. Mgr. McDevitt is widely j
known here and was a close personal!
friend of Bishop Sanahan, but hisl
appointment was almost unexpected, j
it was said. He is an active charity
and church worker and has taken a
noted lead in activities similar to those I
of the iate bishop.
Official confirmation was not received j
at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Rt.
Rev. M. M. Hassett, rector, was out of j
the city. The Revs. T. B. Johnson and
D. P. Reardon for this reason were
unable to discuss the appointment.
It is believed that special ceremonies
will be arranged upon the installation
of the new bishop and when he as
sumes his charge in the Harrisburg
diocese.
{Foreign Born Must Stay

With Affairs, Wilson Says
Washington, July 13. President
Wilson told a citizenship convention
here to-day that the American gov
ernment must insist that foreigners
becoming citizens remain loyal even
if they are not pleaded with the way
affairs are conducted. Loyalty means
nothing, he declared, unless It is
coupled with self-sacrifice. He added
that Americans cannot teach loyalty
unless they practice It.
The President discussed the problem
of Americanizing foreign born citizens.
Native-born Americans were warned
by the President to examine them
selves carefully to see whether they
have burning in them the true light of
America which they expect to show to
these foreigners.

Washington, July 13. Reports of

acter of the German submarine
Deutschland were the subject of a
long conference at the State Depart
ment to-day between Acting Secretary
Polk and members of the government's
neutrality board, called in to give In

decision on the status of the submarine
probably will be announced after to

Thin People Gained
Weight Quickly
By Following This Simple Suggestion
Thin men and women who would like
to Increase their weight with 10 or 15
pounds of healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note re
sults. Here Is a good test worth try
ing. F rst weigh yourself and measure
yourself. Then take Sargol—one tablet
with every meal—for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. It isn't a
question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and many thin men ana
women we believe can easily add from
Ave to eight pounds In the first four
teen days by following this simple di
rection. And best of all, the new flesh
stays put.
Sargol does not of Itself make fat,
but mixing with your food. It alms to
turn the fats, sugars and starches of
what you have eaten, Into rich, ripe
fat producing nourishment for the tis
sues and blood—prepare It in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. Much of this nourish
ment now passes from your body as
I waste. But Sargol works to stop the
waste and do it quickly and to make the
fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now de
velop pounds and pounds of healthy
flesh between your skin and bones.
Sargol Is safe, pleasant, efficient and
inexpensive. George A. Gorgas and
other leading druggists In thlß vicinity
sell It in large boxes—forty tablets to
a package—on a guarantee of weight
