shall constitute total disability.

British and Germans Both
Regard Delville Wood as
Vital; Now See-Sawing
By Associated Press
British Headquarters in France,
July 20. What the Trones Woods 1
was after the first big advance by the
British, the Delville Wood promises to
become after the second, the Germans
considering it equally vital to their
present line of defense. South Africans, i
including both British and Boers, took '
it most gallantly after the British
broke the second line of defenses last
week but were over brave, eager and
inexperienced in this kind of warfare.
In the last 24 hours the Germans
have been massing troops and de
veloping counter attacks with the re
sult that something of the same kind i
of see-sawing as at Trones Woods, has!
taken place among the fallen trees,
branches, undergrowth and shell i
craters.
The Germans threw a division at
the South Africans last night, aiming
to recover both Delville Wood and the
village of Longueval, with the result
that the South Africans, who insisted
that they could hold the wood without
help were outnumbered and had to
give ground. The Germans got
possession of more than half of the
wood and some houses of the villages
along the side of the wood. British
reinforcements coming up soon check
ed the attack and at this writing they
hold half the wood and all the village
which throughout the aay could be
seen to be under a heavy shell fire
from the German guns, indicating
that the British had possession of it.
The Germans also shelled Montauban
and the approaches to Longueval—
but the British artillery replied In
larger volume than the Germans.
Russians Now Threaten
German Communications
London, July 20.—The Russian op
erations are again becoming interest
ing. The Russian military critics dwell
on what they describe as "the me
chanical regularity" of the strategic
and tactical blows dealt by Russia on
her various fronts and the absence of
any indications that the enemy forces
are able effectively to parry them.
The recent Russian successes have
brought them much nearer Vladimlr-
Vlyskl and Kovel, and the German
communications between Kovel and
Lemberg are threatened by the Rus
sian advance to Stoyanoff and Sokal,
preliminary to the investment of Lem
berg.
In Transylvania the Russians have
obtained two important eastern passes
in the Carpathians, Jablonitza and
Kirlibaba, while they also hold com
mand of the Delatyn-Budapest rail
way. Their cavalry is moving in the
rear of General Pfianzer's forces be
tween Kimpolung and Kuty, and ap
parently the invasion of Hungary has
begun.
The Russian advance also continues
successfully In Asia Minor.
Russians Are Reported
Winning Great Battle
at Hungarian Pass
By Associated Press
London, July 20*. A wireless dis
patch from Rome says it is reported
from Petrograd that a great battle Is
developing at Jablonitza, the results of
which thus far have been favorable to
the Russians. In addition to the heavy
fighting in the Carpathians, the dis
patch says the Russian offensive has
been resumed before Kovel and Vladi
ml-Volynski and in the Riga area.
Jablonitza Is in the Carpathians
south of Kolomea, near the northern
end of one of the mountain passes
leading to Hungary.

Villa Attacks Train and
Kills Six Carranzistas
Chihuahua, Mexico, July 20.—Villa
bandits attacked a train on the Mexico
Northwestern near Santa Ysabel, about
fifty miles west of here, Tuesday, ac
cording to a report tc General Jacinto
Trcvino. The bandits were beaten off
and eight of them were brought here
for trial by court-martial.
El Paso, Texas. July 2 o.—Six gov
ernment soldiers were killed in a Vil
lista attack upon a Carranzista supply
train at Palomas. Chlliiiahua, on Mon
day, according to private dispatches
here. The dispatches conflicted with
repprts from Chihuahua City, which
indicated the attack took place Tues
day.
Other reports reaching here said a
band of about fifty outlaws, under
Nicholas Hernandez, also is operating
in the vicinity of Palomas, which is
about thirty-three miles southwest of
Chihuahua City and about fifteen miles
east of Santa Ysabel. It is believed
here that the remnants of the band
under Martin Lopez, which was beaten
off by the train guard in the attack,
may attempt to effect a junction with
(his command. Lopes is a brother of
Pablo Lopez, recently put to death at ;
Chihuahua City for participation In a
massacre of eighteen Americans at
Santa Ysabel last Janury.
The main band of Villa followers,
making its way through the Rio
Florldo bottoms toward the Durango
border, consists of less than 800 men,
and is being lorely pressed by General
Matias Ramos' troops, according to
Mexican reports.
Bandit Leader Discards

Tropical Storm Sweeping
Northward; Off Hatteras
Washington. July 20. The tropi
cal storm making its way up the At
lantic coast from the West Indies ap
parently was centered this morning
two hundred miles off the North Car
olina coast about eastward of Cape
Hatteras. Very little information had
reached the Weather Bureau early to
day concerning Its Intensity. The only
reports came by radio from ships at
sea in the vicinity of the storm.
Latest dispatches told of winds with
a. velocity of 64 miles an hour but these
were from the edges of the disturb
ances. They indicated that the storm
was moving slowly northward. Fresh
gales and strong northeast winds pre
vailed on the coast to-day from North
Carolina to the Delaware breakwater.
Storm warnings were ordered to con
tinue at all stations from Hatteras to
Boston except at Baltimore.

HARRISBURG V§S&d& TELEGRAPH
INTENSIVE WORK
AT PLATTSBURG
Staff Correspondent Tells of
Scenes at Big Business
men's Camp
By a Staff Correspondent
Plattsburg, N. Y„ July 18. —Less
than one week of Intensive training
and over 1,500 men. composing the
Sixth regiment of the July encamp
ment, passed "by companies" in a regi
mental parade this afternoon that
would have done credit to an organ
ization of old-timers. Three battalions
of four companies each, led by first
lieutenants of the regular army and
manned by privates and "rookie non
coms," went through the manual of
arms, executed complex commands
and conducted themselves In close or
der to completely astound the big au
dience that had gathered for the pa
rade on the drill plain at the post bar
racks.
The students are on the rifle range
all this week, where they will be fol
lowed Saturday by the businessmen,
and proud indeed is the man or boy
who wins the right to wear an expert
rifleman's or a sharpshooter's medal.
The sidelights on this conglomerate
assemblage of celebrities and mere
men are many and interesting. The
brother of the holder of the national
amateur boxing championship marches
in line with the member of the diplo
matic corps at Washington with the
decidedly English accent; the former
all-American Princeton guard goes
swimming with the executive secretary
of the Training Camp Association: the
young marvel who stirred the public
some years ago by graduating from
Harvard at the age of 14 is working
ambitiously to advance from the
ranks; and everybody gets along with
everybody else.
When the Fly Butts In
One of the most delightful experi
ences of the camp is to stand at "at
tention," perfectly immobile, while a
fiendish fly, with almost human
prescience and exasperation, marches
triumphantly all over your face, and
you are powerless to remove him.
The camp pllotorgaphers, "jitney
lunches," sightseeing Fords, ice cream
cone sellers and venders of all sorts
do a rushing business, because it seems
to be custom for soldiers to spend all
tphir money the minute they get it.
The Y. M. C. A tent, which supplies
writing paper gratuitously. Is ever
filled with a mob of scratching pens
and earnest young men doing their
duty by their families or studying the
infantry drill regulations. Some go
to the "movies" In Plattsburg; some
to the Hotel Champlaln to dance; some
stay around the company street and
"swap stories" or ply the much
harassed regulars with questions on
this and that. All this, of course, in
the evening, because the day is full to
overflowing with drills and Instruction
of every imaginable military sort.
A wrist watch, by the way. is no in
dication of effeminacy in the army,
and the big "husky" as well as the
little "delicate." of which latter there
are but few, all wear the timepiece in
the most convenient place.
"Marked Men"
There are two kinds of men who
quickly become marked In a camp of
this sort. One Is the Individual with
a little knowledge who believes he is
all-saplent and who gives commands
promiscuously to all about him. The
other is the man who drops his gun.
The later is an inexcusable fault in the
army.
When It comes to the last analysis,
the post office Is the most popular spot
In the entire camp and ofttimes there
is a line four or five hundred yards
long waiting for the incoming mail.
A letter from one's "best girl" is a joy
forever and the many-colored enve
lopes with the feminine handwriting
that pass through the office are a con
stant source of amazement to the ob
server. E. J. S., JR.

NEWS OF S
EXPORT TONNAGE
IS ON INCREASE
Steel Companies Obtain New
Foreign Munition Orders;
Home Business Better
"The Increasing tonnage of export
sales and of foreign Inquiry overhang
ing the steel market is strengthening
the position of the steel works in re- i
spect to this year's deliveries," says
the Iron Age in its weekly steel review
to-day. "Most domestic consumers,
having bought what they will require
in the next four or five months, are
not actively competing for steel with
foreign buyers as they were earlier in
the year. But with light home buying,
each week is increasing the proportion
of export steel on the makers' books,
and the question of the amount avail
able for home use in the first quarter
of 1917 will soon be of live interest.
"The week has brought out a fresh
instalment of foreign requirements, in
which 100,000 tons of shell steel for
France is prominent, and about 50,000
tons of 6-inch to 12-inch beams, to be
shipped at the rate of 8,000 tons a
month through this year. Russia has
i made some redistribution of barb-wire
business by which 50,000 tons go to
three independent makers. A Russian
spike purchase of 50,000 kegs is pend
ing. There is also active inquiry from
Canada for shell steel, and it is known
that Great Britain is still seeking to
place 6-inch to 12-inch shells, and the
steel for them, with deliveries extend
ing to April. Russia is expected to
place large car orders in this country
and Canada, and has Just bought from
two American makers 28,000 axles,
with cast-iron wheels mounted, for re
pair purposes.
"A late increase in premium busi
ness coming in connection with larger
foreign demand has caused some pro
ducers to look for an early renewal of
domestic buying of plates, shapes and
bars, but in most lines the indications
are rather for the continuance of
present conditions into Fall.
"Rail mills are adding to their book
ings for 1917 and several large lots are
up for this year. . France has Just
placed 14,000 tons. South Africa Is in
quiring for 12,000 tons. The Canadian
Pacific is expected to buy much more
than the 30,000 tons on which bids are
asked, in view ol' its large sale of rails
from its sidings to the British govern
ment.

To Look and Feel
Bright in Hot Weather
This is the season when she who
would have a lily-white complexion
should turn her thoughts to mercol
lzed wax, the firm friend of the summer
girl. Nothing so effectually overcomes
the soiling effects of sun, wind, dust
and dirt. The wax literally absorbs the
scorched, discolored, freckled, withered
or coarsened cuticle, bringing forth a
brand new skin, clear, soft and girl
ishly beautiful. It also unclogs the
pores, removing blackheads and In
creasing the skin's breathing capacity.
An ounce of mercollzed wax, obtain
able at any drug store, applied nightly
like cold cream, and washed off morn
ings. will gradually improve the worst
complexion.
When depressed by the heat and you
want to freshen uti for the afternoon
or evening, bathe the face in a lotion
made by dissolving an ounce of powder
ed saxollte in a half pint witch hazel.'
You'll find this more refreshing than
an hour's .rest. It Is fine for smooth
ing out wrinkles, even the deeper ofaes.

TWO AUTOS PILE
UP IN FRONT ST.
Many Have Narrow Escapes in
Series of Accidents; Two
in Hospital
Two persons were Injured and nearly

hours.
The injured were George Poles, 217

Mrs. Poles, bruises and lacerations;
taken to the Harrisburg Hospital.
The first smash-up occurred at Front
and Franklin streets last evening,
when an automobile driven by a man
named Smith struck the motorcycle
and side car driven by Mr. and Mrs.
Poles as the oar attempted to turn up
Franklin street. The* motorcycle was
coming up Front street.
In the second accident, which oc
curred at Front and Trewick streets,
shortly before 6 o'clock this morning,
no one was injured, although several
people were badly shaken up and one
automobile was almost demolished.
The damaged automobile was being
operated as a jitney by David Fred
erick. 1726 Market street, Harrisburg,
and was coming to Steelton with six
passengers. Running down Front
street at a moderate speed, the driver
asserts, he was overtaken by a truck,
also being operated as a jitney for
I. B. Handler, a.'so of Harrisburg.
According to the driver and passen
gers in the smaller machine, the truck
attempted to pass the other jitney
without turning out into the street far
enough. The smaller car was jammed
against the curb, vaulted to the pave
ment, and was driven against a pole,
demolishing the entire front of the
car. Passengers in both jitneys were
badly shaken up, but all miraculously
escaped injury.

Coachman Worth SIOO,OOO
Performs Same Service He
Has Been Doing 25 Years
By Associated Press
Chicago, July 20. Although Wil
liam Beattie, coachman for the late
James Hobart Moore, multi-million
aire, is said to possess property valued
at more than one hundred thousand
dollars, he is to-day performing the
service which has been his custom for
nearly 25 years.
Seattle had been in the employ of
Moore for some years when as a re
sult of his Diamond Match operations
the multi-millionaire had become a
pauper over night.
"I was in an awful fix," Mr. Moore
used to say. "I -was worth less t„an
nothing when Beattie came to me. He
had been to the bank and drawn out
every cent he had saved—s2,ooo.
'Take it,' he said, "I got it from you,
and you're welcome to keep it as long
as you want it.'"
Mr. Moore accepted the sum to tide
him over some minor transactions
i which brought him large profits and re
established his credit. Then came the
i organization of the companies which
brought great wealth to the Moores.
Moore never forgot the service of
Beattie. He paid back the $2,000
many times over, and placed Beattie in
the way of investments that netted
him more than SIOO,OOO. "Anyone
who worked for Mr. Moore could have
done what I did," said Beattie after the
fuiieral of his late employer yesterday
at Lake Geneva.
NO NEED TO
FEAR BALDNESS
XeUs How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots
Thousands of people who note with
alarm the steady falling and thinning
of their hair and have tried nearly
every advertised hair grower and hair
tonic without success, fear the time
when they shall be totally bald. Vet
tiieir case is not hopeless if they will
adept the following simple hair drill
recommended by a prominent hair
specialist, and daily massage their
scalp with a little genuine Parisian
Sage in the liquid form.
First, massage the scalp with a me
dium stilt hair brush, to start a good
blood circulation; then part the hair
and p6ur a little of the Sage on the
bare scalp and rub in vigorously with
the thumb and finger tips. Go over
the entire head in this manner until
the scalp tingles.
This will only take a few minutes
daily, and can be done just before go
ing to bed. A few ounces of Parisian
Sage used in this manner should pre
vent any further loss of hair and cause
a new hair growth to appear on the
thin spots.
This preparation is highly recom
mended by H. C. Kennedy and is
absolutely harmless, as it contains
none of the poisonous wood alcohol,
or the sulphur, so frequently found in
oidinary hair tonics. Parisian Sage
will not make the hair greasy, and
can be obtained at drug and toilet
counters everywhere.

HERE'S THE
TOBACCO
YOU WANT
"American Navy" the Tastiest,
Longest-Lasting Chew
Ever Made
JUICY, SWEET, MELLOW
The men who know most about
tobacco chew it—and the best
judges of chewing tobacco say
that for a solid, "chewy," long
lasting chew there's nothing like
American Navy.
American Na*y is made of
choice, selected whole leaf, in a
clean, sanitary factory. The leaf
is the same kind as used in good
cigars, pressed into plug form,
forcing the pure, fruity juice
through the entire plug, and not
permitting a single drop of it to
escape.
One ch?w of American Navy
plug is enough to get your O. K.
Such savory flavor you never
tasted before—such sweet, juicy
enjoyment you never found in any
other chew.
Your dealer has American Navy
in 5c and 10c cuts. Try it.

Thin Men and Women
Here's a Safe and Easy Way by
Which You May Gain 10
Pounds or More of Solid,
Healthy, Permanent
Flesh
Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
"I can't understand why I do not get
1 fat. 1 eat plenty of good nourishing
food."The reason is just this: You can
not get fat, no matter how much you
eat, unless your digestive organs assi
milate the fat-making elements of your
food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gentl"
urging the assimilative functions of
the stomach and intestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand tuem over
to the blood, where they may reach the
starved, shrunken, run-down tissues
and build them up. The thin person's
body is iike a dry sponge—eager ana
hungry for the fatty materials of
which it is being deprived bv the fail
ure of the alimentary canal to taka
them from the food. A splendid way of
working to overcome thi< sinful waste
of flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage of tats is to try Sargol, the
fam us flesh building asrent that has
been so widely sold in America in re
cent years. Take a little Sargol tablet
I with every meal and see if your cheeks
don't quickly fill out and rolls of firm,
healthy flesh form over your body, cov
ering each bony angle and projecting
point. Geo. A. Gore-as and other good
drurgisto have Sargol or can get it
from their wholesaler, and will refund
your money if you are not satisfied
with the gain in weight it produces as
stated on the guarantee in each large
package. It is inexpensive, easy to take
and highly efficient.
NOTE:—Sargol is recommended only
is a flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indigestion,
etc . have been reported, care should be
taken about using It unless a gain of
weight is desired. —Advertisement.
