Italians Are Winning The offensive opened by the Italians along the Isonzo where Gorizla is their objective, is attracting renewed attention to this field of war. Several lines of entrenchments were carried by the Italians in their initial assaults, which also gained them 3,600 prison ers, and Vienna admits that the lost ground has been only partly recov ered. Latest reports from Rome credit General Cadorna's troops with the capture of a number of additional posts.

Austrians Now Hold Little in Right Bank of honzo; Italians Capture 3,000 By Associated Press Lon-lon, Aug. B.—The Italian offen sive along the Isonzo and on the Carso plateau is being continued and, accord ing to a wireless dispatch from Rome a number of additional positions have been occupied. The Austrians hold lit tle ground on the right bank of the Isonzo. The dispatch reports the number of prisoners taken by the Italians has been increased considerably, and that the Austrians are now destroying vil lages in the vicitjity of Gorizia. REGARDED AS BIG STEP By Associated Press Rome, Aug. S, via Paris.—The an nouncement by the War Office of the Italian victory in the Monfalcone sec tor is received everywhere in Italy with rejoicing, although the war is being directed with such secrecy that the public at large knows little about it. In view of the difficult nature of the ground and the exceptionally fa vorable positions held by the Austrians the taking of 3600 prisons is regarded as a long step in advance. The troops which so distinguished themselves are from Leghorn and Turin. They car ried out an enveloping movement, which made possible the gathering in of prisoners in large numbers.

The discussion opened when a let ter was read from Harry A. Kelker, Jr.. who is developing a residential section just outside trie borough in Pine street. Mr. KelKer askea that council have the borough water lines and sewers extended in Pine street, from Heading to .Lancaster street, to care for the new houses now being built in this section. Councilman McEntee endorsed the proposition and urged that the bor ough at once extend its water lines and sewers. He pointed out that Steelton needs more houses and that the only way to get them is to give builders some inducement to come to the borough. He declared that lay nig water mains ana sewers in new districts is an Investment that will bring the borough a large return from taxes and water rent. Mr. McEntee's opinions were shared by Mr. Craig, Mr. Henderson and other councilmen. The Kelker let ter was then referred to the Finance and Highway committees to obtain an estimate on the cost ot extending the lines to the top of the Pine street hill. If this is done residents in tne out lying districts will be asked to come into the borough. Pass Loud Ordinance Council also took the first step to ward starting the improvement pro gram authorized by tne voters in Sep tember, when the ordinance authoriz ing the sale of $70,000 worth of bonds, passed on first and second readings. As the ordinance now stands tne president of council is authorized to issue the bonds in denominations of SSOO each, payable serially, to the amount of $2,500 each year. The bonds will bear interest at 4 per cent, annually. This is half a per cent, lower than the borough is paying for its recent bond issues. Another meeting of council will j likely be held next week, when this i ordinance will probably be passed j finally. With tne sale of the bonds council will immediately start plans I tor motorizing the fire department. I There is little prospect that any street paving will be started before next year. Council took no action on the canal ] ordinance and there was no discus- ' sion on the pian of building a system ! of sewers for the upper end of town. This matter will come up for action later. To Hold Special Session It was decided, following a report from E. C. Henderson, chairman of the highway committee, to hold a meeting of council next week to de cide on plans for compelling tne United States Wood Biock Preserving ' company to repair the Front street i paving, now in bad condition. There ! is a possibility it was stated at the j meeting that the paving company will do the work without a lawsuit Council passed a resolution direct sloo be paid Mrs. Nancy Miller, the S7-year-old woman who lias filed suit against the borough to recover damages sustained in a fall ! when crossing a bad pavement. Pay- ■ ment of this money will cause the suit I to be withdrawn. Several small bills i lor excess water rents and a disputed ' paving bill were exonerated. Settle- ' ment of L,eroy H.

Captain Morrison Lauds Old Commander Captain John W. Morrison, Deputy Commissioner of Banking, who was elected State Treasurer on the same ticket that elected the late General D. McM. Gregg, paid this tribute to Gen eral Gregg to-day: "In the passing away of General Gregg the State has lost a distin j guished officer of the Civil War and | who. in my judgment, never received the full meed of praise for his brilliant military achievement at the battle of Gettysburg. Had it not been for the thrilling fight his troopers made under his direction, which hurled back the legions of Jeb Stewart and Wade Hampton, the outcome of that battle on Pennsylvania soil, in the estimation of military critics, would have had a different result. "General Gregg filled civic positions with honor and distinction. In this city he was well known and held in high esteem, where hq resided while holding the office of Auditor General. My intercourse with him was exceed ingly pleasant. He was modest in demeanor. No effort of mine ever succeeded in having him talk of bat tles in which he had been engaged and in which he bore a conspicuous part. "My earliest recollection of the Gen eral was while serving with the Army of the Potomac and I was then as a boy profoundly impressed by the dig nified. soldierly appearance of one who was later to give heroic service for the preservation of the Union Jn one of the greatest battles of the war waged in his own natlv-> state."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH PLANS TO SUPPLY ICE TO NEEDY FAMILIES [Continued From First Page] "famine" conditions in the poorer sections. 100 For Youngsters City Commissioner William H. Lynch who broached the subject to his fellow councilmen said he had in mind the offer of a resolution making an appropriation of a few hundred, dollars for the purpose but decided to await tho result of a census by the health department. At the request of City Commissioner H. F. Bowman, Dr. J. M. J. Raunick began a systema tic cotnt this afternoon. The location, name, and size of the family and the conditions, especially with reference to the small children, will be included In the data. "We'll try to get together to-mor row morning If possible to settle this matter," declared Commissioner Bow man. "As Mayor Meals and Mr. Lynch pointed out the conditions of these poor families who have no ice during this kind of weather are pretty nearly intolerable. Cleanliness on the premises and a little ice may help to prevent contagion not only of Infantile paralysis but of other diseases." City's Only Case of Infantile Paralysis Is Rapidly Recovering In a statement Issued to-day deal ing with the infantile paralysis situa tion Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, chief of the city bureau of health and sanitation, referred to Harrisburg's only case to date—the illness of Edward Huber, aged 19 months, of 127 Vine street— as follows: "While this case is one of very mild form and is rapidly recovering every necessary precaution has been taken by this bureau to confine the infection to the orriginal case. The premises are under the usual quarantine restric tions imposed by State law and which we know are being carefully observed by the family." In order to correct certain state ments that had been published rela tive to this patient and to allay any unnecessary fears -Dr. Raunick ex plained further how the illness was discovered, diagnosed and quarantined. The case was reported to the city bureau Saturday by Dr. L. K. Graber and his diagnosis was coincided with by the bureau physicians following the department's Investigation. Prompt report was also made to the State health authorities whose official rep resentatives also concurred in Dr. Graber's original diagnosis. Postpone Action on Overhead Bridge; Now Up to City Planners Council to-day postponed action on the ordinance authorizing Swift and Company to construct an overhead bridge connecting their buildings across Seventh street pending a report on the measure by the City Planning commission. The ordinance which had been in troduced a week ago by request was on second reading to-day but was re ferred to the Planners wltn a request that the commission's action be re ported to council within ten days. The bridge, according to the ordi nance, is to be built at a point about fifty feet north of North street. It is to have a width of not more than ten feet, a clearance above the curb of at least fifteen feet, and to be carried on steel trusses approximately six feet high. No columns or abutments are to be cor*?tructed in the street and the company is to be responsible for any damages that may result during or after its construction. The ordinance authorizing the opening and grading of Twenty seventh street from iJcrry to Green wood was passed finally and these new measures were offered by Mr. Lynch: Constructing a sewer in York street, from Eighteenth to the eastern city line at a cost not to exceed $350; con structing a 15-inch storm sewer in Swatara street from Eighteenth to Nineteenth at a cost or not less than SI4OO. By resolution offered by Mr. Lynch council permitted the new Christian Science Church to tap on the city's sewer in Emerald street. In accordance with an opinion from City Solicitor Seitz council rerused to ex onerate the same church from pay ment of city taxes for 1916 on the church property, because the ground hadn't been formally purchased before the tax levy was made. For the first time since his illness several months ago Mayor Ezra S. Meals presided at to-day's session of the commissioners.

RAILROAD NEW SYSTEM TO START NEXT WEEK Plans For High and Color Changes on Pennsylvania Railroad Near Completion Plans for changing signal lights on j the Pennsylvania railroad will be com- ' pleteu this week and it Is expected that ! official orders will be Issued Saturday,' effective on or about August 15. As announced exclusively In the Tele graph ten days ago. white lights are to disappear from the Pennsylvania rail road system for all signal purposes. This has been decided upon because of the confusion which Is apt to result ] from the many white lights in various uses which now appear at places to bother engineers and trainmen. Green Succeeds White Green will replace white for "clear" or "proceed," while a bright, distinctive yellow, visible at great distances, will be used for "caution." Red will con tinue to mean "stop." Not only will alterations have to be made in all of the semaphore signals, but the following devices will also be affected: Marker lights on the rear of passenger and freight trains, switch lamps and targets, markers for track | tanks, "slow" signs, "resume speed" signs, hand lamps at interlocking and block signal stations and lights dis played to the public at crossing gates. Lights for the latter purpose will be red Instead of green, as at present.

B.—Judge Wil liam L. Chambers and G. W. W. Han ger, members of the United States Board of Mediation and Conciliation, arranged to-day to go to New York to night to get in touch with the threat ened railroad strike situation. They probably will be joined there by Judge Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the board. The board has not yet received an invitation from either side to mediate in the controversy and under the law cannot offer its services until a tie-up in traffic is imminent. But the mem bers of the board expect their services will be required in the new future and want to discuss the situation with the representatives of the railroads and their employes. Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor already is in close touch with the situation and has made several reports to President Wilson. The President will take no action person ally unless all other agencies fail to avert a break. TEMPER AX CE PAYS THIS FIRM AND MEN, TOO Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 8. Tem perance pays. At least it does so far as the 806 employes of the Philadel phia Quartz Company are concerned. With them, however, the reward for total abstinence is not merely of a moral nature, but one far more tangible—a matter of dollars and cents. More than two years ago the officials of this company, the offices of which are located at 121 South Third street, hit upon a novel method to promote temperance anions; their men. If tem perance can be made a paying proposi tion, they concluded, the men will not be slow to recognize its value. There fore, it was decided to make a 10 per cent, increase in the wages of those employes who would sign a pledge. All but a few have signed. AUGUST 8, 1916.
