Automatic I | The Telephone Making A "Greater for ■ The Million Dollar Hotel By proclamation Mayor Ezra S. Meals has of ficially designated Friday, October 13, as "Greater Harrisburg Day." The Cumberland Valley Telephone Company is proud to recall to your mind that it is doing its share to make a "Greater Harrisburg" by replacing its old fashioned manual system with the up-to-the-minute AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE. Just a Few Reasons Why Careful investigation has proved the AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE to he far superior to the old-fashioned tvpe. It gives much quicker service. It is direct. ou do not have to depend upon an operator to get vour party. It abolishes the "wrong number" nuisance. It is absolutely secret. It gives instant service constantly. Rush hours do not slow up your service. Increases in the number of telephones on the exchange do not result in quality depreciation. The number you call rings, and rings at regular inter vals of a few seconds, until you get vour partv. To learn other striking evidences of its superiority droo into the At TOM A 1 IC exhibit to-dav.

I Vice Admiral Dartige du Fournet, I Commander-in-Chief of the entente I allied fleet in the Mediterranean made j the demands its follows: The Lemnos, Kilkis and Aver- I off, the three best ships of the i Greek navy, must be disarmed ! and virtually put out of commis j sion. Kverv other Greek -warship must be surrendered to the en tente together with the two forts I commanding the regular anchor-* j age of the allies' warships. The other Greek seacoast fortl j flcations must be dismantled. The Piraeus-l.arisa railway must be placed under complete control of the allies. Thes* features apparently are al , ready in effect, since the dispatches sys the Greek Minister of Marine 1 promptly announced that he would comply, and would surrender all ships even before the time allowed him had f expired. I The Umnos and Kilkis were for : merly the United States battleships I Idaho and Mississippi. They were j built in 1909, are of 18,500 tons, and I mount four 12-inch and eight 8-inch ! guns. The Averoff is an armored cruiser of 10,000 tons, built in 1910, carrying four 9.2-inch and eight 7.6- inch guns. These three ships, comprising nearly the entire effective fighting force of the Greek navy, are to be retained, cn condition that they be disarmed and their crews reduced to one-third j the regular complement. The ships ' to be turned over comprise three old ; 5,000-ton battleships, the Spetsla, Hy | dra and Psara. about a dozen small cruisers and gunboats and a score of torpedo craft. i The Piraeus-Tjarissa railway is the I most Important in Greece, running i from Greece's principal seaport to the , largest town of Thessaly, and con necting with the Saloniki-Monastir line.

Bavarian Troops Sweep Into Rumania; See Little Hope of Saving Nation London. Oct. 12.—General von Falk enhayn has begun the invasion of Ru j mania, according to an Overseas News Agency dispatch received here. The | Havarian troops, which seized Hed 1 Tower Pass, following the battle of | Ilermannstadt. have swept forward to the .south and have crossed the Ru manian border, the report says. Color is given to this semiofficial an nouncement by the official statements from Merlin, Vienna and Sofia, which report the advance of Von Falken-, ; hayp's troops at nearly every point on the Transylvania front.

Ob j servers here are unanimously of this I opinion. Some see little hope for her, | others believe she will pull out ali right with the aid of the Russians. The opinion of the majority of military men is expressed by the observer of | the .Manchester Guardian, who de clares in unequivocal terms that with. I out reinforcements from Russia King Ferdinand's troops have little hope of turning back the Teuton hordes. This j critic condemns Rumania for attempt ing the Transylvania campaign. I "Falkenhavn's campaign." he says ! "bears witness to the fact that in ar ranging her plans Rumania made the j mistake of thinking the Russians were on the point of breaking through the Carpathian defenses. On anv suppo sition. her invasion of Transylvania Is j wholly indefensible." Six months ago. he agrees. Von Hln !
