LAND AND SEA
FORCES MASSED
AGAINST RUSSIA
Kaiser Throws Great Military Machine Against the
Withered Line Retreating in Disorder From the Riga
Region; Safety of Republican Armies and Baltic Fleet
Threatened by New Move
Petrograd, Sept. 6.—The Russians are continuing
their retreat toward the Northeast in the Riga region
crossing the Melup river, the war office announces.
With the appearance of a German fleet in the Gulf of Riga
the difficulties of the problem facing the Russians in the opera
tions on their northern front are accentuated. Not only is the
safety of their armies concerned but apprehensions are excited
as to what will happen to the Russian fleet in German naval
forces are given full swing in the Baltic.
Only submarines so far have been operating against the Rus
sian right flank as it fell back along the gulf of Riga coast.
Larger warships now bid fair to take part in the activities, in
creasing the troubles of the Russians in the task of keeping their
flank protected.
As to actual operations against the Russian fleet, it does not
appear to be expected that they will develop until the land cam
paign has progressed further and it is seen what success the
Russians will have in their effort to make a stand on a new line.
Moreover it is a long way over land to Reval, where the Russian
warships are supposed to be chiefly congregated. The Riga gulf,
however, would offer a favorable base for purely naval operations
against Reval, if these should be decided upon.
On the forty-mile front of the
break in the Russian lines the Ger
mans are pushing their advantage
and have as yet met with no effec
tive resistance. It is declared, how
ever, that the Russian retreat is by
no means a rout and that a well
defined plan is being carried out in
the retrograde movement. Its suc
cess admittedly depends upon the
behavior of the Russian troops,
/Whose morale on this front is now
reported to be better than the earlier
accounts of the retreat seemed to
indicate. , ,
The Italian compatgn for Triest
is being vigorously pushed in the
face of vast concentrations of Aus
trian infantry and artillery and Gen
eral Cadrona continues to report
progress.
It seems that the unofficial reports
of the capture of San Gabriele by the
Italians were premature, judging
from the latest advices from the
front, but the vdtimate reduction of
this last remaining stronghold of
the Austrians in the Gorizia hills, is
accounted a certainty by the mili
tarv writers in view of the steady
Italian progress through the protect
ing works.
Holding Firm
General Cadorna's report to-day
shows the Italians holding firm on
the Carso where the Austrians have
mossed great reserves for the de
fense of Triest and have launched
numerous' counterattacks. The Ital
ians took about 700 additional pris
oners.
To-day's official reports from Ber
lin and Petrograd add little to the
details of the Russian retreat except
to show that the Russian left flank
engaged in the operations is hinging
on Friederichstadt on the Dvina, the
Russians having abandoned their
Dvina positions that far (about 45
miles) to the southeast of Riga. It
is revealed also that the number of
prisoners taken by the Germans has
been rather surprisingly small, con-

Drinking and Smoking
Real Luxuries in Denmark
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, Sept. 6.—Drinking
and smoking will really be luxuries
in Denmark under the new taxation
program just introduced in Parlia
ment. This provides for a special tax
on wines equal to the retail price
per bottle exactly doubling the cost
to the consumer, and almost doubl
ing the tax on beer, making it, ac
cording to the president of the Brew,
ers' League, the highest in the world.
The measures Increase the tax on
cigars, cigarets and tobacco from 20
to 33 per cent, on the retail price.
HARRISBURG AVIATOR, ON WAY TO FRANCE
AS HE APPEARED AFTER RECENT FLIGHT
In his flights as a member of the Twenty-third United State Aviation Corps, Robert Merle Mace of
this city has won distinction. He is on record as making a number of difficult aerial trips and is said to
be nov.' in the expert class. His company has a pet flyor known as "No. 134." The Harrisburger had
one narrow escape. He made a flight In his favorite flyer and was scheduled to accompany another
member of the corps on the following day. An order sent Aviator Mace to other duties. That day the
big aeroplane worked badly and the young man in charge met his death. The aeroplane was damaged,
but has since been rebuilt. The local aviator passed through Harrisburg yesterday. He is a son of
Mrs. William K. Crozier, 1523 Swatara street. The above picture shows the famous "134" in the air,

COAL INCREASES
FIVE CENTS TO
DOLLAR A TON
Pea Takes Largest Jump; Nut,
Buckwheat and Mixed
Pea Also Up
By Associated Press
Washington. Sept. 6. Es
tablishment of retail coal prices •
for all communities with the
assistance of local committees
is the next step of the fuel ad
ministration, according to an
announcement by Pr. H. A.
Garlield, administrator.
The co-operation of operators,
miners, jobbers, retailers and
consumers will be enlisted to
obtain the maximum efficiency
of the industry. The govern
ment aims to stimulate produc
tion to the highest possible point
with prices fair both to the pro
ducer and consumer.
Coal has taken the expected ad
vance to-day. The increase will be
come effective at once, and ranges
from five cents per ton on hard
broken to $1 per ton on pea coal.
The increase is not as large as sev
eral dealers intimated it might be,
when interviewed a few days ago.
The various grades used in this
section advance as follows: Buck
wheat, 45 cents; pea, $1.00; No. 2,
mixed pea and nut, 65 cents; egg,
15 cents; hard broken, 5 cents.
Walter L. Montgomery, chairman
of the Harrisburg Coal Exchange,
announced that these prices would
be effective to-day. While there
may be a slight variation from the
figures given in some individual

River Coal Wllfße
Used Almost Exclusively
by Central Iron and Steel
Because of the difficulty of se
curing coal promptly and its high
price, the Central Iron and Steel
Company is attaching blowers to nil
Its grates so that river coal may be
used almost exclusively.
Large quantities of river coal have
been used in recent years at the Cen
tral Iron and Steel plant but it is
hoped to increase its use still fur
ther with the use of a forced
draught. In recent years a coal fleet
has been engaged in removing coal
from the river below the city ex
clusively for the plant.
APPEAL BOARD GIVES THIS
MAN RAISE IN PAY AND CLOTHES
The old grist mill is to be grist-1
less, and the grister is to be soon
sent among the boys who will con
gregate at Camp Meade and make
ready to serve their country. But
the grister does not want to stop
gristing and become a soldier, and
therein hangs a tale.
About three and a half years ago
a young man arrived in a beautiful
valley of Columbia county. Eager
to work and learn a trade was this
young man. So to the grist mill he
went. The old mill was turning its
wheels slowly in those days. So
slow in fact that the gisting business
was in danger of ceasing. This was
the young man's chance. Applying
for the position as helper, he was
hired at the rate of his rations and
board a month until he became ac
quainted with the working of the
grist mill.
After three and a half years of la
bor the young man is found still at
his job, but what a change.
From a mere helper three years
ago, he has risen to the heights of
the only employe in a one-man mill.
Yeah, he and his boss are the only
workers. So diligent a worker is
this young man that the "boss" does
not need any more help. And oo
pleased is the "boss" tolth his helper
that he pays him the handsome sum
of S2O a month and board. All this
money the young man receives every
first day of the month for working
at least fourteen hours a day and
sometimes twenty hours.
Magnificent salary. However,

U.S. TO SUPPRESS
SEDITION WITH
A STRONG HAND
Scores of Raids Throughout
Nation to Round Up
Traitors
By Associated Press
Washington, Sept. 6.—The Govern
ment as the result of country-wide
raids yesterday on headquarters of
I. W. W., Socialist and other organiza
tions was to-day in possession of
documents to be used as evidence in
an effort to suppress alleged activities
of a seditious nature. The seizures,
the Department of Justice announced,
were in connection with Federal
grand jury investigations In Chicago.
Moving with a suddenness unex
pected by disloyal groups, the Gov
ernment took drastic action to end
the pacifist propaganda conducted by
the Industrial Workers of the World,
the Socialist party and other organ
izations throughout the United States.
The far-reaching effect of the Gov
ernment's coup, which extended to all
sections of the country, can only be
guessed at as yet. There is no ques
tion, however, that it is the strongest
blow yet struck for the suppression
of treason at home, and that hereafter
it will be more dangerous for any*
person in this county to play, know
ingly or unknowingly, the Prussian
game.
Traitor* Hard Hit
The Industrial Workers of the
World, whose efforts to embarrass the
Government by curtailing production
of necessities in the prosecution of
the war have been causing considera>
ble anxiety, were hit hard in a series
of simultaneous raids. On orders
from the attorney general, Mr. Greg
ory, United States marshals in more
than one hundred cities and towns
descended upon the local I. W. W.
headquarters at exactly 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, central time.
The Federal agents seized books,
checks, correspondence and other doc
uments in every instance. In some
cases they arrested officials found
upon the premises. The arrest of Wil
liam D. Haywood, national secretary
of the organization, at Chicago was a
conspicuous example and led to the
belief that the documents seized at
other places where no arrests were
made might be used as evidence
against him.
Score* of Itnllls
In Chicago, Federal agents also tool
possession of the national headquar
ters of the Socialist party and a war
rant authorizing the seizure of its
documents were served upon its cun—
sel.
Uncle Sammy wants the miller's
helper to help him. The miller's
helper is not a slacker, as is testified
hy the work he does, but he likes his
boss too much. Therein lies the
whole trouble. The young man knows
that without him the mill will stop
grinding, and the boss is also aware
of this fact. Now the young man is
generous and gratoful for the splen
did chance in life that he received
from the miller and had filed a
claim of exemption with the appeal
board and he and his boss bave filed
affidavits stating the above facts.
These affidavits were read at the
meeting of the appeal board yester
day by President Tracy. Mr. Tracy's
reading was listened to carefully by
the other members of the board and
in some instances wet eyes could be
seen, when the wonderful spirit of
gratitude was brought to light in
the young man's statements. His
love for his "boss" was wonderful.
His thoughtfulness was unheard of.
His faithfulness was touching. "We
shall exempt him" the board said.
"No," said Howard E. Butts, of
Huntingdon, secretary of the board.
"I have a better plan. We will re
ward him for his faithfulness. Let
us honor htm. I make a motion
that he be granted a handsome in
crease in salary, and also his clothes,
board and room, be thrown In."
"That Is fine," responded the rest of
the board, 'what hajl we do." "Let
him join the Army," saicV Mr. Butts.
This was done and the grister is now
listed among the chosen few, p
CAN NOT CHANGE
ANNEXTION VOTE
SOLICITOR SAYS
Too Late For Council to Re
consider Riverside Move,
Is Legal Ruling
With an opinion cited by City So
licitor John E. Fox showing that City
Council is powerless to reconsider an
ordinance which has been passed and
signed by the Mayor or acting Mayor,
City Commissioners to-day in special
session abandoned the proposed plan
to recall their vote on the Biverside
annexation ordinance.
Solicitor Fox also cited another
case in which a ruling had just been
made recently by the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court in which councils in
cities of the third class could not
even repeal an annexation ordinance
after the ten-day limit had expired
and the city legislation had become
operative. Mr. Fox stated, however,
that Council, should it care to do so,
might repeal the ordinance, but that
he even doubted whether such ac
tion was avisable. The commission
ers, following this advice, declined
to take any further action.
Part or City
A number of residents of Biver
side attended the session to learn
what action would be taken. When
they heard the opinions cited they
agreed that it was now too late,
unless an appeal is taken to the
county court before the end of the
day.
No such action \vM contemplated,
however, and beginning to-morrow
the district north of the city will lie
part of Harrisburg.
City Solicitor Fox will begin at
once the preparation of a petition
to the court to be presented on Mon
day asking for the final order annex
ing the district, establishing a new
ward or adding the territory to the
Tenth ward, and providing for the
registration of voters, appointment
of necessary election officers and
other details so that tjie voters can
cast ballots at the primary election
for the candidates for city office.
Among those who spoke at the
session were Howard M. Bingaman,
Professor F. C. Martin. Miles C. Fry
Professor George W. Hill and Frank
K. Oyster. The opinions expressed
by these men were that while they
were not entirely opposed to coming
into the city later, they were anxious
to know at this time whether, when
subject to city taxation, they will
have the benefit of improvements
toward which they are contributing
by payment of city taxes.
The following ordinances were
passed finally at the business session:
Authorizing laying of water pipe in
Nineteenth from Naudain to Brook
wood streets: providing for salaries
and appointment of two additional
general utility men in the Water
Department; reducing the, number of
emergency guards at the pumping
station, filter plant and reservoir
from nine to three; providing for the
purchase of 1,000 tons of river coal
for the pumping station, and locating
light standards which are to be
erected in Rellevue Park.
Commissioner Gross announced to
Council that the front drive tractors
of the Citizen. Susquehanna and Pax
ton fire engines had proved satis
factory and were accepted by the
Fire Department.
School Officials Do
Not Plan to Change
Tech to Boys' School
City school officials ere not plan
ning to change the name of the
Technical high school to the hoys'
high school with the addition of the
classical course to aqcommodate the
scores of freshmen enrolled who will
pursue academic Instead of manual
training studies.
A report that a change in name
was contemplated was denied to-day
by members of the School Board,
who said they had not heard of any
request to that effect. Dr. Charles
B. I-'ager. Jr., principal of the school,
also said that while the clossical
course was heing started this yeer
as all boys in the freshman class
entered the school, the technical
courses have large enrollments also,
and no change is necessary.

PLEAS GRANTED
Appeal Board Refuses to Make
Blanket Rulings During
Hearings
FEW STEELTON CLAIMS
Of 2,435 Liable to Draft, Beth
lehem Steel Asks to Have
Eleven Excused
After a two-day session which did
not adjourn until 10 o'clock Wed
nesday night the Appeal Board of
Exemption at the Capitol reported
to-day thAt they had taken up two
hundred claims for exemption on
industrial and agricultural grounds,
and out of this number only thirty
were allowed.
The remainder were either re
jected or sent back for further in
formation, the majority being in
the latter class. The board ad
journed until next Tuesday morn
ing When it will meet at nine o'clock
prepared to remain in session for
the rest of the week in order to
clear up matters.
During the two days' session many
defects of the draft system as worked
in this State came to light. The
many claims sent back for further
information testified to the loosief
rules that prevailed until a recent
interpretation. Most of the claims
came from the farming districts.
While the farmers were claiming
exemptions by the wholesale, some
for no reason whatever, beyond the
fact that they did not want to go
to war, the coal regions of North
umberland were close behind. In
these regions nearly all the miners
or those connected with the mines
who were examined and passed in
variably claimed exemption on the
grounds of their services being in
dispensible to their employers. Some
of the employers sent in affidavits
asking the favor for their men. The
board looked into the matter and it
was found that the mines could be

Picked Chinese Troops
Ready to Be Sent Into
Trenches of Europe
By Associated Press
San Francisco. Cal„ Sept. 6.—The
Twenty-fourth Chinese Army .Corps,
composed of 15,000 picked troops
from the northern provinces, is be
ing mobilized in a Chinese city for
immediate departure to Europe, ac
cording. to a cablegram received here
by the Chinese Daily World from its
correspondent at Shanghai. The dis
patch, censored and deleted, indi
cated that the troops would be trans
ferred through Siberia to the eastern
front. The message hinted that gaps
in the Bussian armies also would be
filled by Japanese.
The Twenty-fourth Corps was said
to include several companies of engi
neers, commanded by Chinese grad
uates from American colleges. An
aviation corps, trained by Ameri
cans and French, will accompany the
corps. It was indicated.
Editors of the Daily World said
to-day that if the soldiers were sent,
they would be the first Mongolians
to fight in Europe since the time of
Genghlz Khan.
Young Married Men
Not Adopting Children
Here to Avoid Draft
As a measure of preparedness the
Children's Aid Society is making an
even more rigid investigation into
means and condition of all appli
cants under 31 years of age who de
sire to adopt children.
If the man is subject to the draft,
no child is permitted to be placed
in that home unless the wife has
independent means of supporting
herself and the child, or unless the
man is able to leave sufficient means
for their support in his absence. So
far the draft has not affected Har
risburg and the society has had no
case of young married men trying
to adopt children in order to evade
the draft.
When J. H. McCandless, secretary
of the society, was asked this morn
ing as to whether or not he had ex
perienced any such condition in Har
risburg he said: "In Dauphin county
we have not experienced any calls
where men are adopting children in
order that they may evade the law.
We are, however, making even more
careful examinations of the would-be
adopted parents than we have had to
do in the psat."
Narrow Escape From
Death When Trolley
Smashes His Bicycle
' Suffering from a bruised knee,
lacerated arm, and more scared than
hurt, Lawrence Danner is resting
comfortably at his home, 1958 North
Seventh street after experiencing the
most narrow escape from death ill
his life.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon
Young Danner was riding along
North Fourth street, on his bicycle.
Crossing the car track of one of the
nearby streets his wheel skidded. At
that moment a Capitol street car
struck the rear end of the wheel.
Young Danner was thrown for a con
siderable distance and before the
car, which was in charge of Motor
man John Lino and Conductor A. S.
Cockery, could be stopped, It had
smashed the bicycle.
A large crowd witnessed the acci
dent nnd rushed to the aid of Dan
ner, who was lying on the ground.
Ho was taken to a nearby store
where he was treated. Beyond a
multitude of small bruises and skin
abrasions he was not very badly
injured and was able to go home.
