RIVER HERE IS
RAISED BY GORGE
Ice Jams Between Bridges and
Water Backs Up to I' 2 Feet;
Beceding Today
Backwater from a gorge between
the bridges in the river opposite here
last night brought the stream up to
12 feet. It started to recede this
jnorning and is now down to 10 feet.
Flood stage is 17.
Small gorges continue to form and
break at Middletown and High3pire
alternately raising and lowering the
water. No serious results are expect
ed by the State Water Supply Com
mission soon.
The AVater Supply Commission lias
established a temporary water gauge
at Middletown and one at Highsplre.
This will enable them to keep a bet
ter touch on river conditions during
the flood stage and to warn inhabitants
pf nearby towns immediately when
danger threatens. Indications on both
ffauges this morning showed the river
to be falling.
Ralph H. Hosmer, State flood fore
caster, said: "Only continued warm
weather and heavy rains will move
the heavy ice still held at uprivcr
points." A minor movement yester
day at Renova lormed a gorge rais
ing the river at that place four feet
in a short time.
The report that the gorge had
moved at Bainbridge has been found
to be Incorrect. The Ice there remains
unchanged. E. R. Dematn, weather
forecaster promises cloudy weather
to-night and to-morrow with a pos
sibility of rain.

British Forces
Thirty Miles of
City of Bagdad
London, March 7, 2:30 p. m.—Brit
ish cavalry had advanced within nine
miles of Ctesiphon, on the Tigris, on
t>e Tigris front, on Monday afternoon,
it was announced officially to-day.
The statement follows:
"On Monday afternoon British cav
alry were engaged with the Turkish
rear guard at Lajj, nine miles south
east of Ctesiphon, Mesopotamia."
The British are now within less than
30 miles of Bagdad. The town of Lajj,
which they reached on Monday is 28
miles from that city. Since the fall of
Kut-El-Amara on February. 26 the
British have advanced about 80 miles.
On account of the nature of the
ground between Kut-El-Amara and
Ctesiphon, which is but poorly adapted
to defensive purposes, It has been pre
dicted by military writers that the
Turks would make no serious attempt
to halt their retreat until Ctesiphon
was reached and that a decisive en
gagement probably would come at that
point. It was there that the deciding
battle in the campaign of 1915 was
fought. The British won an initial
victory, only to fall back in the face
of Turkish reinforcements. The seige
of Kut-El-Amara and the surrender
of General Townshend to the Turks
followed.
STOCKS RISE WITH
PUBLIC INTERESTED
Specialties, Particularly Shippings, Make Gains at Opening
of Market; Coppers, Equipments and- Supply Issue
Figure in the Buying
By Associated Press
New York, March 7 (Wall Street).
An Increase of public interest was in
dicated at the opening of to-day's mar
ket, activity again converging around
the specialties, particularly shippings,
which soon rose one to two points.
Coppers were next in demand, together
with such equipments and supply issues
as Bethlehem Steel, Central Leather,
Baldwin Locomotive, American Woolen
and sugars. ,
Heactlons, in some instances, suffici
ently extensive to m<Sre than wipe out
the initial gains, occurred before the
end of the first half hour as a result
of the heaviness of rails and interna
tional bonds.
Pool operations contributed substan
tially to the broad dealings of the fore
noon but price movements became more
erratic. Rallies from the early set
back ensued on fresh buying of steel,
coppers and' Central Leather, as well as
a demand for American Can, motors
and other specialties at gains of 1 to 3
points ,wtth 6% for Bethlehem Steel
old stock at 147. Marine recovered
with the general list but failed to hold
and rails were consistently heavy.
Among the strong utilities were West
ern Union, Mackay Companies prefer
red, Philadelphia Company, Columbia
Gas and Peoples Gas, the latter rising
almost four points. Bonds were Ir
regular.

TICKET SPECULATOR
MAKES GOOD
[Continue*! From First Pafic]
responsible people who come in. lay
down their money, and get large
blocks of seats for schools, colleges,
organizations and so on when there is
a noteworthy attraction in tho city.
We would insult people if we made it
our business to be sure the purchasers
of these blocks of tickets were not
I speculators."
Mr. Hopkins said that insofar as he
could learn, the speculator had only
a small block of tickets, certainly not
more than twenty-live or thirty. The
man described as the ticket specula
tor, who operated near the Orpheum
theater late yesterday afternoon, got
a block of twenty-six tickets on the
day the seat sale opened, said Hop
kins.
"He came in, asked for twenty-six
tickets,laid down $52 and naturally we
sold them, as we did not know he was
going to operate a hold-up game,"
said the manager.
That the speclator did operate, and
successfully, was attested to by a dozen
or more people who purchased the $2
seats at the $3 rate which the gouger
demanded. He placed himself in front
of the Franklin building just above
the Orpheum theater yesterday after
noon and openly offered his seats at
the $3 price. People who were re
fused tickets at the box office window
were attracted by the cries of the spec
ulator and enough purchased seats
from him to enable the smooth indi
vidual to sell out quickly and make
a get-away.
The police have been furnished with
a description of the speculator and an
arrest may be made if he is still in
town, it was intimated.
Discussing the ticket speculation
evil, Manager Hopkins said that such
practices in townsh the size of Harris
burg are almost unknown. When
David Warfleld heard about it he
said: "Well, if a speculator can get
away with that stuff in a one-night
stand, I've got to hand it to him, he
must have advance information on the
sort of a house I am going to pull."

TO COMMISSION
ENLISTED MEN AS
ARMY OFFICERS
Sixty Privates From Each Regi
ment Will Get Preference if
Volunteers Are Called
• By Associated Press
Washington, March 7. The War
Department has directed that between
five thousand and six thousand enlist
ed men of the army be designated by
regimental commanders for commis
sion as company officers in whatever
army may be raised. Orders have
been sent to each regiment to select
sixty men who will, be eligible for
commissions up to and including cap
tains.
The designation of the men will be
on their military aptitude, not by ex
amination. The department as a pre
cautionary step, it was explained, de
sired to establish this list of men
deemed fit for commissions by officers
under whom they have served. Pre
sumably the noncommissloner person
nel will supply the largest number.
Same For Guard
It is possible that a similar list will
be compiled among National Guard
regiments. If a volunteer army of
any size were summoned to the colors
these men would be drafted for train
ing duty as officers of the volunteers.
The officers' reserve corps will fur
nish additional officers, some of the
rank of major but as less than one
thousand men are now enrolled in the
corps it could not supply sufficient
officers for the volunteers.
The department is conducting a vig
orous campaign to increase the offi
cers' reserve corps. Kfforts are being
made to enroll fifty men in each con
gressional district. Military aptitude,
rather than experience with troops or
present knowledge of military matters
will be the governing factor in their
examination.
Would Drain Regular Army
The regular army may suffer in effi
ciency if its best enlisted men are
withdrawn for duty with volunteers,
but there is no other way, officers say,
to provide an adequate training force
even for a volunteer army of 500,000
men. If a million or more were to be
trained, officers of the force would
have to be selected from the first 500,-
000 organized, the regular establish
ment at present not being capable of
supplying more than enough fully
trained officers for higher commands
and special service details requiring
technical skill. In effect, the regulars
will have to train first the force that
is to train the volunteer army if a
big force is to be raised.
Body of Alleged German
Spy Is Photographed
