2 RUSSIAN ARMY IN DANGER OF QUICK CAPTURE Teutons Seek to Cut Off Line of Communications on the Rear STORES ARE ABANDONED Evacuation of Carpathian Forests Indicates Pan icky Flight By Associated Press Berlin, July 2S.—The Tageblatt correspondent with the Austro-Hun garian armies in southern Galicla reports that vital railroad com- { munication from Kolomea to Czerno- j witz is now seriously menaced and | threatens to cut off the Russian Eighth army and remnants of the! Seventh which escaped across the [ Dniester. German advance troops \ are said to be only a day's march i from the river sloops. The evacua tion of the forest of the Carpathians s is already taking on the character of ; a panicky flight. The capture of the < important | bridgehead at Halicz, north of Stan isluu, forced the Kussian army corps ! to retreat before the Seventh army j was given an opportunity to seek I safety across the Dniester. Large stores of military supplies and foodstuffs were scattered along the path of retreat. The civilian population which had taken refuge in the forests is now returning home. Since the fall of Tarnapol sixteen towns north and south of the Dnies ter and more than a hundred villages have been cleared of Russians. LAST BUILDING SOLD IN CAPITOL PARK [Continued From First Page.] Paxton warehouse now used for State storage. The prospective removal of the Governor's Troop quarters has at tracted attention to the armory sit uation in this city. When the troop returns from active service it will not have any armory and the City Grays' armory is too small for the units of the Eighth. The policy of the State Armory Board is to erect armories only where sites are do nated and as the idea is to await completion of Capitol Park exten sion and then develop the public buildings along the borders the chances of Harrisburg getting any State aid for an armory out of the $1,200,000 appropriation just ap proved are remote indeed. Stories that the First cavalry may be made into artillery have come here, but no one seems to know what there is to the report. The State has its full quota of field artillery now. Co-opcratc With State City Electrician Diehl and the managers of the several public utili ties. including the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, the two tele phone corporations and the Harris burg Gas Company, are co-operating with the State authorities in clearing rhe environment of the Capitol of all overhead poles and wires. The hearty co-operation of these utility com panies is greatly appreciated by the officials at the Capitol, and, working together, it is expected that the last > cstige of the overhead system along Walnut street and throughout the Capitol I ark zone will have dis appeared with the end of summer. One of the difficulties which con fronts the several companies Is se curing prompt deliveries of cables nnd underground conduits, but suf ficient headway has been made to indicate the successful completion of the general clearance of overhead wires and the forest of poles this year. It is entirely probable that the trunk line of the Bell Telephone Company which extends through the Capitol Park zone and eastward through the city will be placed under ground in order to relieve the Capitol Park area of any obstruction which ■would interefers with the view from i Capitol Hill. A. W. Brunner. the distinguished landscape designer who is collabo rating with Warren H. Manning in 'he plans for transforming the Capt tol Park zone, was here this week and will have ready for the approval of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings the drawings and speci fications for the elimination of the ! street-level sidewalks and the re grading of the park district in a short time. While nothing definite has been determined, it is believed the Board i of Public Grounds and Buildings are j of one mind respecting a great via duct at State street instead of a sub- i way, which is said to be inadvisable. One of the fetaures of the trans- ' formation of the park under the ap propriation approved by the Gov ernor yesterdav will be a dignified entrance to the grounds at State and Third streets instead of the unsightly brownstone conglomeration at that point. The fir*t work that will be dene in the Capitol Park area \till foe the construction of a granite coping at the foot of the new-made terrace on Third street from North to Walnut and on Walnut street from Third to Fourth. This will mean the widening of Walnut and Third streets to approximately sixty feet and will greatly relieve the congestion which i rapidly increasing in the central part of the city.

SATURDAY EVENING, 'WILL BANISH ALL DOUBTS OF FAIRNESS [Continued Itum First Page.] i eral's cfllce, these lists will not in ; elude any enlisted man who enlisted j after June 30. but will Include those ' in membership in the command on I April 1, 1917, and all who enlisted between April 1 and June 30, 1917. The regulations provide that the application shall be to the eighteen ! cities in Pennsylvania of thirty thou ! sand or more population and to counties exclusive of these eighteen | cities. Adjutant General Stewart to-day j issued orders to the commanding officers of each unit in the Guard to j furnish him with the unit roll, glv i ing the name, post office address, | county and city of each enlisted man. These rolls will be made the basis of a recalculation as to credits to be as signed each city and county. Colonel Sweeney made it clear that no credits will be permitted for en ■ listments after .'June 30. Nor will there be any credit for enlistments lln the navy or marine corps. Bo cause of the great labor involved I there will be change in the rul | ing of the provost marshal general's I office which divides enlistment 1 credits between cities having 30,000 I or more population and counties, i I'n effect the new ruling will help i the county districts. As the credits ■ now stand all enlistments are given to the cities where the Guard unit was organized, although in many in j stances the recruiting was done largely In county districts. | Colonel Sweeney also stated to-day I that the War Department has agreed I to change Its credits for enlistments I in the regular army in any instance ' where it can be shown that the quo | tas demanded has been based on mis taken figures. Refuse Man Not Registered A Steelton man who was in Cana da at the time of the registration of war subjects on June 5, last, and who failed to register, applied at the recruiting office here yesterday to enlist In the army, but was re fused because he could not produce a registration receipt. Tine applicant promised to en list and said he would hav a recruit ing officer along when he registered so as to satisfy the draft board of his intentions. Draft board Meet All the six Dauphin county draft i exemption boards met this morn ing in the City Council chamber in I the courthouse to exchange views as to how the draft laws are to be j worked out. None of them has yet I received the master list of numbers; drawn at Washington, but all a- j greed that the lists probably will be j in their hands on Monday by which i time they will begin their work. The first three days will be con- i fined tp making five or half a dozen | copies of those of the numbers that < affect Dauphin county and on the I third day notices will be sent out j to the drafted men telling them when and where to appear for examina- j tlon. It was the opinion of the: boards that no conscripts will be ex- 1 empted or discharged until after j they have undergone the physical | examination: no matter whether j the applicant is crippled, blind, deaf ; and dumb or dying. The examina tion will be made for statistical pur- ' poses. Of course, men so maimed or , afflicted will be exempted or dis-! charged. Examine All Alien* Aliens will be examined physic-1 'ally too, no matetr whether they i [are later exempted, so will men claiming industrial exemptions. But j the local boards merely will furnish, the blanks to men claiming indus- j trial exemptions and will not con- j sider such claims. To make such ' claims the appeal must be made to ! the district board within seven days i after notice is given to report for ex- j amlnation and the conscripts will be j allowed ten days additional in which j to file reasons supporting their j claims. In the city, where no conscripts are called for the first army, because Harrisburg already has furnished her quota, the draft boards' first work merely will consist of the pre paration of the lists showing the or. der in which the Dauphin county men were drawn in the draft.

The Governor announced his veto of the bill including in the jurisdic tion of the Philadelphia municipal court cases of damage for injuries to personal property up to $1,500. The Governor says "The court now has definitely defined jurisdiction and the lawyers of Ph'adelphia having business before all the courts have pointed out that there Is no demand or need for this change, that the present procedure is wholly ade quate and satisfactory and that to avoid the confusion of readjustment it Is well to let the present practice remain." At noon the Governor's office an nounced that the Governor had not acted upon the hill to suspend the full crew law during the war.

Not Co-operating With Allies in Censoring War News From Abroad By Associated Press Washington. D. C., July 28.—At 9.40 ! | o clock this morning, live hours after j its receipt. The Associated Press re- j ceived from the Committee on Public j Information a request to kill the dis-( patch from a European port announc- ! ing the safe arrival of another con-1 tingent of American troops. The Associated Press saw no reason for killing the dispatch inasmuch as it disclosed no military information j of a character to betray the location \ or description of the troops and fur- | thermore because the dispatch had i been passed through the official cen sorship in Europe. It was generally supposed in Wash ington and the helief has been shared by many officials, including the army censor, and presumably the Secretary of War, that an arrangement had been perfected with the censors j abroad. To-day's events are the first j indication that such is not the case, j Business Sessions of City League at Tech Business sessions of the League j of Cities of the Third Class which ! will meet in convention here on Au-' gust 28, 29 and 30, will be held in! the Technical High School auditor ium, instead of the courthouse, it was decided this morning by those | city officials who are arranging the t program.

'INDIAN FOLLOWS EIGHTH REGIMENT [Continued From First fa go.] When he heard of the border trouble! and the sending of the United States' troops he decided U. S. soldiers must be wonderful men, if he could Judge from the reports that had come to him at his little cabin by the side of the Northern wilderness. Although he had every oppor tunity to go with any of the Cana-| dian regiments then being raised for service along the European front. Bill preferred the United States! troops. With little money, most of! it saved from the sale of the for-' mer year's furs, Bill started in the direction where Texas was said to be. ] Gets to Camp Freights, wagons, and now and then a stolen ride on a passenger \ train, not to speak of hundreds of i miles on foot, and Bill found him self in sight of the tented city of U. S. soldiers. He had lost count of| time and was a little sore and weary from the long trip but the hardiness of his race had stood him in good I stead and a few regular trips to the I commissary department put him in proper shape for a permanent love of j army life. liven the troopers do not remem ber just how it came about but slow ly "Bill" showed a preference for Company D. of the Eighth Regiment, I Pennsylvania. Whether it was be- j cause of the kindness shown him by | Captain Bretz or tlie interest the I troopers of the company manifested i in his silent manner and taciturn ! speech, is not known, but "Bill" soon | became a permanent fixture of camp life. When the boys went on long ! hikes that forced many of them to j drop by the wayside from exhaus- I Uon, "Bill" went far ahead, true to! the instincts of his race and ready and alert for danger the other troop ers could not feel. Every time a rumor originated the i men would be sent home, and those rumors were numerous, "Bill" would > become more taciturn *nd silent than I even. He realized that his cnames to accompany them were small and he 1 certainly dlu not want to part from [ the best friends of his young life. ' ••Bill" CioeN Along on Train j When the long-hoped for word j j came, telling me guardsmen to; j break camp, "Bill" was the only one. I I that did not enter into the spirit of the celebration. The hoinegoing of j the other boys meant to him a loss I of a home he had grown to love dur ing his seven-months' sta>. When j everything was placed on the trains i the chief question was "Are we all | here?" After the train had gather . Ed momentum on the desert sireches, "Bill" proved it by appearing from an untliought of place. Those who had the authority to put him off the train winked an eye and did not notica he was there, the others shared rations and delicacies with him and promised to bring him sately to the Capitol City of the lvey i stone State. * j But after the train had crossed the i Tixan border a railroad policeman forced "Bill" to 'eave the train, i Before the train pulled out from I its stop in the middle of a desert | region where "Bill" was forced to j leave, he looked wistfullv up at his friends and said: "Never mind, fel lows, I'll see you all again." As the cheering troopers watched his short j figure grow less in the distance they ■ forgot about their friend, in the joy of the anticipated reception at home. Turns I |> Here | June 20, Captain Bretz was busy at the armory getting things In shape for the call to arms. A familiar I \ olee chirped from the stacks of j bedding, "Hello, Captain Bretz. Guess ' you haven't forgotten me." No. in deed! The Captain had not for gotten his friend and showed it by taking the Indian home with him and giving him some food such as "Bill" had never tasted in the bord er camp. When asked his intention in com ing to Harrisburg he insisted that he knew the men would be called Into active service soon and that he meant to accompany them across the "Big \\ ater. He wanted to go as an en listed man. and thought of a thous i and reasons why he should be ac . cepted. The Captain- insisted he was j much too small but gave his promise I that he should accompany the men as a camp follower. As soon as the troopers went into , camp on the Island, "Bill" again started to make himself popular with the men. Nothing is too much trouble | for him to do and any little service i he .can give to a tired man is one of his greatest jileasures. Although ; he wouldn t say much this morning j lie insisted he didn't want to )>e ad ■ vertised troopers say he boasts he I will do his fighting at night and with | ° ut * sun. He declared he liked I Harrisburg but liked an army camn ! spoii r the h nfe. tHere WaS " Clly 10 Dorsett and Hallowell Market Bureau Directors Secretary of Agriculture Charles E.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES When Admiral Mnhan discussed I the question of closer political rela- I lions between the English-speaking peoples in 1894, the project was dis missed as visionary. Neither in the United States nor in Great Britain was their close interdependence realized. The question has now, howevo.-. become of paramount im portance. An. >eer'n boolc, "The English Speaking Peoples." (MgcmUlan) is a searching analysis of this question, in which every aspect of the matter is shrewdly examined. The nature of the established international sys. tern is exhaustively reviewed and the urgent problem of securing the future peace of the world is analys ed in a distinctly new spirit. In an historical survey of the past decades the fundamental aims of German policy are elucidated, and the openly cxpresed hostility of influential Ger mans to the "Anglo-Saxon block" is linked up with that policy. Longmans. Green and Co., an nounce us nearly ready for publica tion a War Story by Guy Fleming, author of "The Diplomat, a new story "Oft With the Old Love." "Away from Bismarck! That is the lesson of this world-war for Ger many. Justice and liberty, not blood and iron, are the cement of modern fatherlands. No longer 'Deutsch- i land über alles,' but Germany with and by the side of all. Democracy is the only possible, only enduring basis of the future peace of nations. On ward to democracy!" These words, astonishing though the fact is, arc addressed by a German to the Ger man people. But it was done from the safety of Switzerland, where the author, Hermann Fernau, now lives. The book from which the extract is taken, "The Coming Democracy," j will be published in this country by IE. P. Dutton and Co., in two or ! three weeks. It makes a study of 1 what the Hohenzollern dynasty, and i the idea of submission to dynastic dominance, have done for the Ger man people, shows how the war was the inevitable, outcome of the direc tion in which Germany has allowed herself to be led by that dynasty, and pleads with the German people to cast aside the falsehoods that have | blinded their eyes and to make Ger j many for the German people, not for I the dynasty, their aim. "The Empty House" (Macmtllan) is apparently to be one of the most discussed novels of the sun.mer sea son. The nature of its plot and the unbroken chain of incidents which lead up to a surprising climax are such as to recommend the. story to those whose first demand of summer Action is that it shall be exciting;. One critic, in fact, pronounces "The Empty House" "Sensational!" "There is an argument in it, to be sure, cen tering around the problem of the modern childless woman. But if you do not want to be bothered with arguments, you can ignore it. Either way you have a fascinating tale." "Fifes and Drums," the new Vig ilantes book, (Doran) has no inten tion of supplanting the good old ! songs and poems. It is simply an effort on the part of the writer and artists of America to unite in ex pressing the feeling of the American people regarding the present war. One of the interesting things in con nection with this lively little book | was the rapidity with which the vol ; ume was gotten out. The whole thing I was accomplished in a single week —a record in book making. It is as the novelist of New Eng | land that Alice Brown has won the [hearts of thousands of readers. As . the years go by Miss Brown loses j none of her skill in her chosen Held; | in fact each book seems to be richer [in characterization and more absorb ing in theme. "Bromley Neiglibor i hood," Miss Brown's new novel I (Macmillan) is no exception. It is la story of a little community much 'like the other communities which i Miss Brown has described, and of the 'sorrows and joys of its people, i Prospects of "meatless days" loom |on the horizon, and we may all have jto be vegetarians willynilly. Still, 'there is nothing like being satisfied | with conditions, and some of us would like to know the real argu ments for a vegetarian diet. Mary S. Brown has collected these in a pamphlet entitled "Three Reasons For a Vegetarian Diet," published hy the Four Seas Co., together with the opinions of many famous men on the subject. One of the most popular cults or ] faiths in Germany to-day is Chris tian Science, and it is interesting to | read in Carl W. Ackerman's "Ger- Imany: the Next Republic?" (Doran) | that members of the "Mother [Church" have pnparentlv suffered less from the food shortage than many other Germans. German Christian Scientists, says Mr. Ackerman, have organized a semiofficial club for the purpose of buying all the extra food possible. Then they devise and store what they want for the "siege"—the time when food will be scarcer than it Is to-day. "Two women practitioners in Berlin," he writes, "bought thirty pounds of butter from an American who had brought it from Copenhag en. They canned it and planned to make it last one year." Kerensky Quiets Russ Capitdl by His Strong Measures of Repression By Associated Press London, July 28.—Dispatches from Petrograd dealing with the military aind political situation states that Petrograd itself is outwardly calmer than it has been for months, which is attributed to Premier Kerensky's strong repression measures, including the disarming of rioters, and muti neers. Among the arrested extrem ists is said to be Mme. Kolontae, who was taken into custody at Hornea, Finland, while returning from Stock holm. The ministry of justice is said to save issued a statement that it has clear proof that Nikolai Lenine, the Radical Socialist, and two of his as sociates, Zinovleff and Kamenoff, were concerned in a German plot against Russia. None of the corres pondents, however, mention the ar rest of Lentne. Chinese Situation Grows More Serious With New Revolt Almost Assured Bv Associated Press London, July 28. The outlook in China Is very serious and a com plete rupture between the N"rth and South seems Inevitable, according to u dispatch from Shanghai to th<i Times.

Proclamations refusing to recognize the government at Peking have been issued in. KwaJig-Tung, a jswiUiern province NEED COOKS AND BAKERS IN ARMY Get Orders at Local Recruit ing Office to Enlist Men For This Work An order from the War Department received this morning by the local recruiting station will help them, they say, on their new ambition, "Keep Harrisburg out of the second and all subsequent drafts." Married I men who have been asking daily In- I formation as to the easiest way for 1 them to get Into real army life will ! now have an opportunity to enlist as j cooks or bakers. They will lirst have to agree to maintain the family they j leave at home, but as cooks and bak- j ers are rated higher than enlisted | men, it is said the married man who is rated as either can keep a family | easily. John S. Geist, of Williamsfown, | was married at Gettysburg to-day. j Back of that simple sentence lays quite a tale. The story goes that John and his best girl have intended to get married on this date for some time, but John was quite determined that he. should never be accused of "hiding behind a woman's skirts." j Recent orders from Washington indi- j cate that men who get married even i at this late date will be exempted ! from the draft. John did not want j to be exempted from the draft, but! he did want to get married. He did not like the thought of getting mar- ! ried and then being forced to leave i his new bride. .Married at Cmiip It seemed quite a momentous prob- I lent for the young couple. They j Anally decided the most honorable i thing to do would be for Gelst to enlist first and then send for his flan- i cee and be married at camp. He | passed the necessary examinations j and was sworn in early this week and i sent to Gettysburg. This afternoon j he laid aside the rifle long enough to take another, more serious and mind ing oath than the one that made him a soldier. The hrlde will return to her home and wait for the return of her soldier boy from the front. One No. -~> s KnllMtM No. 258, Frank L. Klinpeter, yes terday enlisted in the infantry. Frank said he had been thinking of enlisting for some Aime, but when he number had been picked the first Tine j he certainly did decide in a hurry. Buffalo Bill's show was coming to the J city and he wanted to see the show j before he enlisted. Yesterday he re gretted he had lost the week's train ing at Gettysburg. "Give us all the cooks, musicians and machinists you can get," are the constant instructions received by Quartermaster tjuirk. Other enlist ments for the navy cannot be for ! warded to the central stations until a i vacancy occurs, but men of the above classes are in such demand that they can be forwarded instantly. Lieutenant Amthor, in charge of signal recruiting, is hoping to have j li is battalion tilled within the next week. Two hundred thirty-nine men ' seemed a large number to be taken from Harrisburg just when they had j finished contributing to every branch i of the service, but daily enlistments have been so large that indications ! are many young men of the city are still anxious to get into the service.
