Thompson of Steelton. acting as Chancellor. Fol lowing a tribute to the late Bishop J. W. Shanahan. Father Thompson cal led attention to the activity of the clergy of the Harrisburg diocese and said in part: "You need have no fear as to hearty co-operation. Your labors in the past have shown your efforts suc cessful in the upbuilding of the church in the community from which you come, and 1 hope your stay in Harrisburg may be a long and happy one. What we lack In numbers, we make up in spirit. In behalf of the clergy I extend to you a most cordial welcome." David E. Tracy, who welcomed the Bishop in behalf of the laity said: David K. Tracy Speaks For Iit y "Right Reverend and Dear Bishop: f consider it indeed a great privilege to be selected as the representative of the laity of your diocese to extend to you their most hearty welcome upon this occasion. Knowing that the great honor bestowed upon you is not of your own volition, and that you would have preferred remaining in the field In which you have labored so success fully for many years, at first thought we almost hesitate to offer you our congratulations. "This feeling, however, rapidly van ishes when we realize that this occa sion is the result of the high apprecia tion in which those labors were held by your superiors in whose power it \ was to confere upon you the great, honor which rests upon you today. ; "Consequently wc ask you to ac-1 cept our sincere congratulations, a ! most hearty welcome and our best wishes and prayers that your life among us will be a long and happy one. Strong in Spirit "While our diocese is rather widely scattered and comparatively speaking not very populous, still we hope to; show you that while lacking in num bers we are strong in spirit, and that i you will always have our most hearty, co-operation in all of your undertak-: ings. Under the guidance of our late de- ( parted and dearly beloved Bishop: Shanahan our diocese, considering its j resources, has made wonderful strides | during the past fifteen years. I have j heard him remark upon more than j one occasion, that the spirit of hia: flock, under the circumstances as they I existed, was indeed a great encourage- I ment to him in his work. Dearly beloved bishop, T want to i say to you as the representative of the ! laity of your .diocese, that we not only, stand ready to offer you this same en- j couragement. but to increase our ef- , forts that you may accomplish still greater things. "We realize that in many of the j trials which will beset you in the, course of your mission, we cannot be ; of material assistance, but the thought, that our prayers for j our guidance are always with you. will surely be a con solation and help. Welcome to Harrisburg "As a citizen of Harrisburg. I wel come you to our city. During the past fifteen years Harrisburg has made 1 wonderful strides along the line of i civic improvement. We offer you as a home, a city clean, healthy and I beautiful, a city whose plan of public i improvements has been used as a j model by many communities of larger ! size. A city, whose people as a whole, are broad-minded and free from petty prejudices. "We regret we do not have for you a home which you might call your own, but trust that our desires along this line may be shortly consum mated. "We trust and pray that the Heav enly Father will grant you health and strength, as these blessings added to ; the administrative and constructive abilities displayed by you in your former office guarantee for you and i for the diocese of Harrisburg a fu ture filled with great accomplishments.. "We fully realize your dependence j upon the co-operation of your people and in their name I pledge you our j loyal support. In conclusion I again ■ extend to you a most hearty welcome. I and our best wishes and prayers for i a long, happy and successful episco pate." Bishop McDevitt responded briefly, referring to the late Bishop J. W. Shanahan as a close friend, who had helped him many times. He said in part: "When I uttered a prayer for the repose of his soul, I did not expect that I would be his successor. God in his wisdom saw fit the.t I should take up the responsibility and I shall try with God's help to fulfill this responsi bility. Man cannot change what God established, and in order to be success ful I must have the hearty co-opera tion of both the clergy and laity. The priests must be my co-laborers. That I will not lack In co-operation has been proved to me by the warm ad dresses of welcome accorded. It is a great inspiration to receive such words of welcome and promise and I can but say that I will give all my moral strength in my service. "The memory of my predecessor and his unfailing deeds will ever be before me and will be an inspiration in my work, and I pray that God may bless this day. the beginning of my work in Harrisburg, for God, Church and Country." The members of the clergy with the Knights of Columbus escorted Bishop McDevitt and the visiting clergy to Cathedral Kail in North street, where the banquet and reception was held The Rev. Francis J. Welsh, of Car lisle was toastmaster. The opening toast was by Monsignor M. M. Hassett, of St. Patrick's Cathedral, who spoke on "Our Diocese." He said in part: "Right Rev. Bishop McDevitt.

BISHOP McDEVITT ON WAY TO CATHEDRAL FOR INSTALLATION -- ~* - V MKlra v §1 I diocese over whose destinies you to-' 1 day have come to preside consists of I | fifteen counties in what we, of j I this locality, believe to be the fairest j ; portion of the State of Pennsylvania, j I At one extremity of your diocese is j I the famous county of l.ancaster. j i which, I believe, is unequalled for the j I fertility of its soil in the whole world; I 1 and at the other extremity, in North | umberland county, nre the almost in- j ! exhaustible sources of the precious an- ) | thracite coal, which have helped to i make our Commonwealth the envy of | this entire continent. ; "Between these two extremes of the I j territory which constitutes the dio- ! cese of Harrisburg we have numerous | \ great industrial Dlants. such as the' I Pennsylvania steel works: and within | [ the limits of our fair Capital City it- j i self are several important manufac- j | turing concerns, which contribute ma terially to the general prosperity. Fori prosperity is the keynote of this por- ' j tion of Central Pennsylvania: God lias! blessed us with more than the average! i of the good things that this earth pro- j ■ vides. In the last two decades for in- : stance this country has passed through ■ several rather trying industrial crises.] yet in Harrisburg and its vicinity we! wore scarcely affected by what else- j where, proved so calamitous. Strong' Religious Hotly i "Of the Capital City itself in which.! right reverend bishop, you will make I i your future home, 1 have nothing but i i good to say. In the first place, to j | speak of your own particular charge. I I from nearly eighteen years' experience ] i of the Catholics of Harrisburg 1 ven- ' ture to say it will be difficult to find a ! i religious body of equal numbers that have done so much. When your im- i mediate predecessor came here in \ May, 1599, Harrisburg. had a Catho- j j lie population of some three thousand ] | souls, who were easily accommodated j in two small churches. In the mean-' I time three new parishes have been i ■ formed, all of which, spiritually and materially, are in flourishing condi- 1 tion: the debt on the mother churches • has been paid off without difficulty, l and to-day the financial obligations on , your cathedral are but little more than one-half what Bishop Shanahan found j ! on the old procathedral, eighteen years j j ago. "It is, of course, true that the dio- j j cese contributed largely towards the; | erection of the cathedral, but the ca- j ! thedral parish cheerfully assumed j ! nearly half of its entire cost, which. | as 1 have indicated, in just ten years it | ! lias almost wholly paid. And not only i that but in addition this clubhouse has been erected for the benefit of the Catholics of Harrisburg. though whol ly at the responsibility of the cathedral parish, and I may tell you In eonti- I dence there is not the slightest danger ! that the mortgage will be foreclosed. ! For this satisfactory condition let me here say the credit is entirely due to a number of generous souls of the city i : who have become founders of Cathe j dral Hall, and to the Harrisburg Coun-i cil of the Knights of Columbus, who. j when the project was first put for : ward, guaranteed for ten years a sum ; sufficient to cover all the interest charges. "Thus you will see, by dear bishop, | that the flock entrusted to your care ' is one in which any spiritual shepherd I may feel satisfaction; for, what I have j said of the Catholics of Harrisburg 1 could say with equal truth of the (Catholics of every city, town and ham let where there is a Catholic church .in your diocese. Fervet opus, has been | the watchword for the past two dec ; ades. and the results of living up to the j motto speak for themselves. Your i diocese at this moment contains near. ; ly a hundred thousand Catholics, in seventy-two parishes, whose spiritual welfare is admirably cared for by one | hundred and four priests. I may add that of these seventy-two parishes, I twenty-seven, or more than a third, were established by Bishop Shanahan. i It will. I am sure,please you particular ly to learn that forty.three parishes maintain parochial schools, in which i ten thousand children receive a solid ] Christian education. \on-CaUiollc Friends "And now let me speak a word of jour non-Catholic friends within the i boundaries of this diocese. I<ong be- I fore I had an opportunity of judging for myself I had heard things by no ' means pleasant of the attitude of i those outside the church towards Catholics in Central Pennsylvania. In | this respect the city of Harrisburg lt | self was supposed to be particularly distinguished. You can imagine than eighteen years ago, the little less than consternation with which I received I my appointment as rector of the ca thedral; it was just the last position i in the diocese that I looked tor or de | sired. But. there was no getting out jof the matter, so 1 came. In a little j while, to my agreeable surprise, I , found our citizens as a whole just the ! reverse of what 1 supposed. I ; found, for instance, businessmen eor i dial, affable, courteous and always . willing to accommodate. "I found the press of Harrisburg j perfectly fair, and not only willing but anxious to give Catholic events of mo ment their due share of notice, and we asked no more. In time also I found what a distinguished personage calls "our citizenry" in general open-mlr.d ed; ready even, though brought up in an atmosphere none too friendly, to admit our claim to a square deal. Therefore for many happy, if some what strenuous years 1 have esteemed it a prl\ilege to be a citizen of this charming city, of which we are all so • -• - ■ * _• - • ■■ ? I HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH | proud; and so far were my original anticipations from being realized that ; I do not recall a single instance when ! I have not received courteous treat | ment, publiclv and privately, from all in Harrisburg with whom my duties, I have brought me in contact. My ex j perience. too. 1 may here say, coln j cided exactly with that of the late i Bishop Shanahan. Many of you will recall the fine tribute of silent, re ' spectful attention with which multi | tudes of Harrisburg citizens viewed his funeral procession; that was the spon- I taneous tribute of an entire city to a I man whom all held in the highest es j teem. "I trust 1 have been able thus, briefly, to show you, right reverend bishop, that you will find in the new sphere of duty opened to you by the decision of the Holy See, which we all respect, splendid opportunities for perfecting the various works begun by your predecessors, and that the condi tions under which you will work for the salvation of souls will he found to be most favorable. That the Holy Ghost, the plenitude of whose Divine gifts you received at your consecration, may bless your labors in His service, in the territory which is to be the scene of your future career, is my most ardent wish on this day when I gladly transfer to your shoulders 'my little brief authority' over the diocese of Harrisburg." Other toasts were by the Rev. A. S. Crist who spoke on "Our Diocesan Clergy,"; the Rev. A. S. Brennen. whose subject was "Our Regular Clergy," and "Our Guests." by the Rev. A. Meuwese. Bishop McDevitt made the closing address. In intro ducing the final speaker Father Welsh said: Toast master's Address The toastmaster. the Rev. FY. Fran cis J. Welsh, of Carlisle, in calling upon the Rt Rev. Bishop McDevitt to respond, addressed him in part as fol lows: "On February 18, the electric spark] flashed the sad news across the coun try that Bishop Shanahan was dying. Thousands of sorrowing hearts and lips were raised in fervent supplica tion to the Father of Mercies that his life might be spared, but the answer came back, "The Master is here and calleth for him.' The great man of God whose perpetual endeavor was to do the will of the Master said: 'I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith." and passed from the sorrows of this vale of tears to the realms of unending bliss. The beacon light was dimmed, the pastoral staff was lowered, the bishop is dead. "No. tile .bishop lives. The house of clay crumbles but the office of the chief shepherd perdures. To-day the diocese lays aside the somber mantle of mourning. We have a new father in Christ. 'I will not leave you or phans." Christ fulfilled his pledge by the grace or God and the favor of the Holy See. We have for our bishop a man whose reputation for piety and learning has preceded his coming. A reputation that has taken flight on the wings of fame, and wafted its way across the billowy deep to the throne of our great White Father in Christ. As a consequence, the gentle, zealous priest of God stands in our midst In vested with the plentitude of sacerdo tal dignity. He has received the apos tolic unction "On the day of our ordination this question was asked, singly and severally. 'Promittis obedientia ac reverentum ordinaio tui et successor! ejus. Promitto.' (Do you promise to obey and revere the bishop and his successors. I promise). Deeply con scious, therefore, of our solemn obli gation before God and man, and prompted by motives of sincerest filial affection, we welcome you, right rev erend bishop, with all the cordial gen erosity of our being. Nor can we be unmindful of the heroic personal sac rifices which you, yourself, have made, when in obedience to the mandate of superhead of the church, you left your beloved Philadelphia, the paradesial spot of Catholic faith, Catholic cul ture and Catholic loyalty in this coun try to come to preside over our des tinies. "We cannot give you what you have left. I.ike the Prince of the Apostles we must cry out and say, 'Gold and silver we have not. but that which wc have we give to you,' in unstinted largeness—our love, our service, our obedience. "May your joys be many. Your sor rows few. May your days be length ened and when jour sun of life sinks into the golden West, may the blessed master whose servant you are say to you—'Well done, good and faithful servant.' 1 call upon you, the Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevitt, Rishop of Harris burg."

ASKS MORE TIME ON SEWAGE PROBLEM [Continued From First Page] thresh out the city's sewage disposal problem, was never answered. The Sewage Plant Problem The question of a sewage disposal plant for Harrisburg was first put up to the city authorities in July, 1911, when State Health Commissioner Dixon's decree on the interceptor prob lem directed that the city sewage should be diverted from the river and disposed of at a suitable plant by January 1, 1915. Construction of the interceptor and the connecting up of the outfalls to the interceptor solved the problem to a large extent and the city asked for an extension of time on the disposal plant question. City Engi neer Cowden at that time stated that because of the prospective growth of the city and the condition of the sewer system, it was almost impossible to prepare suitable plans for a plant at the time. The city, incidentally, was not ir: financial shape to build a plant, it was pointed out. as the cost would be more than half a million. In March, 1915, Mayor John K. Royal was notified by Dr. Dixon that the time limit for emptying sewage into the river had expired and that the city had made no application for an extension of time. Tlie problem was again referred to City Engineer M. B. Cowden and to City Solicitor D. S. Seitz. Mr. Cowden conferred with State health officials and upon his suggestion City Solicitor Seitz en deavored to arrange a conference be tween Dr. Dixon, his engineers and the city officials. State Doesn't Answer The last request for a conference was sent to Dr. Dixon June 17, 1915. C A. Emerson, acting chief engineer, stated at (lie time that Dr. Dixon wan about to leave the city on important business for the State and that the quesion would be taken up with him on his return. Harrisburg never heard anything further on the subject until Council re ceived the peremptory order Saturday. At the State Health Department it wan said that unless the city acted definitely at once, the State Health Commissioner's attention would be called to the matter.

Rumania's Hope of Halting Invasion Dies Oat With Failure of Counter Drive | London, Oct. 16.—The widely-liall-I led • Rumanian counter-offensive in 1 Transylvania has died out in many i sectors where success seemed to be within the grasp of King Ferdinand's! troops. Only along the southern I frontier is the Rumanians' desperate | stand holding Von Falkenhayn's forces ! at arm's length from Rumanian soil. Elsewhere the Rumanians' hope of I preventing the eventual invasion of their country dickered only for a moment and then was snuffed out by the fury of the enemy's atack. The day's lighting saw the abandon ment by the Rumanians of a large part of the territory In eastern and j northern Transylvania which they had clung to In the face of terrific assaults. I From the Kelemen Mountain region i near the Bukowina border they re j treated to the frontier. In the East I their lines were dented in as far as : the Grymes Pass, on the frontier j through which runs the Troitus River | and a railroad to Kronstadt. On both ; sides of the Szurduk Pass, southeast of i Kronstadt. Rumanian columns were I rolled back and a dominating ridge j seized in Friday's countercharge was | swallowed up in the Teuton wa\e. Russians Stiffen Line Along the southern frontier and to tlie north of it. where the Rumanians have been able to retain part of the territory conquered in the tirst great rush across the border, Russian rein forcements have stiffened the Ru manian lines and averted for the mo ment the peril of invasion. In the Polistoca Valley the momentum of yesterday's smashing drive carried King Ferdinand's troops forward until the enemy was cleared out of this sec tor Standing with their backs to the wall in the Vulcan, Red Tower and I Temos Pases, the most important j gateways on the southern Transyi j vania fort, the Rumanians fought with | a desperation that beat back all the enemy's atempts.

Central Powers Are Not Prepared For Peace on Entente's Terms, Vienna Says | 1 Vienna. Oct. 15. With a keen I longing for peace has come persistent j speculation in the Central States as : to the manner in which this blessing j may be obtained. Rut all thought on the subject remains what it has been ' for nearly two years—the substance of the individual's own wishes. Politi | eal and military circles to-day are as j far from seeing a definite plan for the cessation of the conflict as they were when the war first overwhelmed I Europe. j in Berlin and Vienna they continue I setting their teeth when the word I peace is mentioned, not because war lis wanted, but because up to this j moment the entente governments have shown no inclination to enter ' tain a meeting on this ground, j If the fear prevailed in the Central I States that a peace with honor, and | possibly with profit, could not be pro cured, owing to military and economic I weakness, then thought might run in | a different channel.

Russians Leap From Their Trenches and Fight With Bayonets Along Stokhod London, Oct. 16.—The battle on the I Stokhod River, in Volhynia, has broken out anew. The Russians leap !

Terrific Bombardment The night saw no let up in the • terrific bombardment.
