12 IS CONFIDENT SCHOOL DEFECTS WILL BE RIGHTED Dr. Downcs Believes Board Will Take Immediate Action on Survey Recommendations Dr. F. E. Pownes, superintendent of city schools, in an interview to day on the recent survey made under the auspices of the Chamber of Com merce said that he had no doubt that the school board would remedy de fects pointed out at once. Dr.' Downes said : "The board's acceptance of the gen erous offer of the Chamber of Com merce to finance the survey of the business end of the affairs of the school district, indicated a willing ness on the part of the board to learn of the most approved methods of conducting school business. 1 have no doubt, now that the report of the surveyors has been made public, that the board will proceed to remedy the defects which have been found. "The gentlemen assigned *iy the Bu reau of Municipal Research to the Karrisburg survey were fair-minded and courteous and went about their task in a spirit of constructiveness that is particularly noteworthy. On the other hand, the board and Its officers co-operated cheerfully and fully in the work. Mutual helpful ness seemed to be the spirit that per vaded the entire undertaking. Survey (iouil Tiling "The board assumed that certain weaknesses existed in its business system and co-operated in having these weaknesses pointed out. In this the board showed a spirit that is commendable. One of the chief pur poses in an expert survey is to indi cate points of weakness, and, it might be added, these "weak spots" are generally discovered. Harrisburg. as is seen 'by the surveyors' report, is no exception to this rule. That cer tain more or less serious defects have been discovered is not nearly so seri ous a matter as that there should be no attempt to correct them when ex pert advice points them out. Doubt less the board in due time will give tlie report the serious consideration which it deserves. " Aschool survey or any kind of ex pert survey, made in the proper spirit, is a good thing. 1 believe in such sur veys. 1 hope that the board may be able soon to provide for a survey of the professional end of the school system. While numerous defects would form a basis for public criti cism. still, speaking for myself. 1- should welcome a helpful, construc tive review of our professional work and methods. The information gained, 1 am sure, would be of great value, not only to all concerned in the pro fessional conduct of the schools, but to the boys and girls for whom the schools primarily exist.

MONDAY EVENING, HERE IS GOOD IDEA FOR ANY PATRIOTIC BOY This Youngster Levies Tax on Men in His Office For Smoke Fund An office boy in one of the large downtown officer nail looked with en vious eyes at the boys in khaki as they marched by—he was too young. He couldn't set buttons swed on at home because his mother and sister were too busy knitting "slips ons" for the soldiers; his father had bought two Liberty Bonds, and had talked about it for a month and Henry seemed to hlmself~a slacker —Bad! Unavoidable, but had. Just the same Then he read of the Tobacco Fund operated by this paper, but he couldn't afford to contribute enough to count, and how he did want to help! One day he went quietly about the office putting a slip of paper on each desk; on this slip was a tax notice — it read— "This is to notify you that you have been taxed one cent on each dollar of your income for the Tobac co Fund for our boys at the front. I am the collector. The cashier says she will make the change and help me do the work if you'll O. K. this slip. Any slackers here?" There wasn't one. Yesterday he sent in the amount as last week's revenue collections—with it were sixteen names and in two or three months there'll be a bunch of postals from "somewhere in France" coming into that office. What does that mean? Figure it out—sixteen per sons contributed in one week a small omdunt each, without missing it, and yet—what? They • supplied about eighteen hundred smokes to the boys who are fighting for us and for dem ocracy. Start such an assessment in your office now —send the money to our Tobacco Fund. The Red Cross— the United States—the French gov ernment are all helping to get these ■smokes to the boys in the trenches— they need them. It's a great work. Help it along! Here's 45 cents worth of tobacco which is sent for your quarter: A package of Tuxedo tobacco and four books of cigaret papers. Three pouches of Bull Durham to bacco and three books of papers.

MARKET ADVANCES ON BOND ISSUE Gains Up to Three Points Made by Leading Liberty Bonds Have Firm Undertone By Associated Press New York, Oct. T (Wall Street). — Inauguration of the second Liberty Ix>an campaign was accompanied by a general advance in stocks at the opening of to-day's market. Gains of 1 to almost 3 points were made by such leaders as the steels, coppers, equipments and oils. Bails also rose, though more moderately. Beading advancing a point. Dealings in the Liberty 3%s were light, with a firm undertone. Prices soon developed decided ir regularity on further selling of rails attributed in part to unfavorable Au gust statements of earnings. Beac tions of 1 3 points were registered by the coalers, New York Central, St. Paul and Pacifies, some of these various issues falling to lowest quo tations in many years. Industrials were adversely affected, forfeiting the ground part of their gains, and the entire rist tended toward unsettle ment. All classes of bonds were higher.

Mr. Dalhnan Go At a recent meeting of the Mar ket Street Baptist Church the resig nation of the pastor, the Kev. Wal ter H. Dallman, presented Sunday, was not accepted and resolutions fa voring reconsideration were passed by the assembly. Last Sunday at the regular serv ice, the Rev. Mr. Dallman announced to his parishiofiers that owing to the necessity of a rest he was com pelled to resign. He stated that the strain of the work was beginning to tell on his health, and he felt that a rest of a few months woujd be beneficial. A new position present ing itself, which would not inter fere with his rest prompted the pas tor to resign his post Sunday. Has Made Strides The Rev. Mr. Dallman came to Harrisburg four years ago and since that time has been pastor of the Market Street Baptist Church. Dur ing his administration the church has increased remarkably in mem bership, the present number being nearly double that' when he first came. The church has also been placed! on a firm financial basis. One of the features of his four years' work In this city has been his teach ing and pulpit work. He is regarded as an able ticlier and an excellent sneaker. He was formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church in Titus ville, which position he held for rtve years previous to accepting the call to the local church. The result of the meeting leaves the matter as it stood previous to the announcement. The parishioners hold the Rev. Mr. Dallman in the highest esteem and are loath to have him leave.

GARBAGE BIDS OPENED OCT. 22 Council Will Award Collec tion Contract Then; Ap proves Ordinance Bids for the collection of the city's garbage for periods of fifteen months, two, three or five years will be opened by the Superintendent of Public safety at noon, October 22. The ordi nance authorizing- the advertising for proposals was passed finally by City Council In special session Saturday afternoon. The City Health Bureau is preparing to advertise for the bids. City commissioners anticipate at least two bids, one from the Penn sylvania Reduction Company, the present contractor, and the other from the Farmers' Supply and Prod ucts Company. Atlantic City. There has been some criticism ot the move to ask bids for a long period but the commissioners stated they be lieve this will cause more competition and may result in lower bids. AttheN Next S. T. McKeever. a stockholder of the Brooklyn National League base ball club; his brother. E. J. McKeever, and Edward L Bader, Atlantic City; William D. Matheson and a Mr. Kein ert, of Reading, are promoters of the Farmers Supply and Products Com pany. of Atlantic City, which is ex pected to bid for the contract to col lect the city's garbage during the next several years, the commissioners have been told. Mr. Matheson lived in Middletown until a few months ago. He had been financially interested in the pipemill that had been successfully operated in Middletown for many years prior to its abandonment in 1909. With the garbage problem practi cally disposed of for the present in sofar as plans and specifications arc needed, the health bureau will prob ably start at once making arrange ments for municipal collection of ashes and rubbish. As equipment must be purchased, a separate de partment probably to be organized and an estimate on cost to be made, this work must be carried out with little delay, the commissioners said, so that provision can "be made in the 1918 budget which will be prepared in December. The garbage and ash re moval contract with the Reduction Company ends February 1. The new garbage contract when let will be for a period starting from that date; and with municipal ash collections planned. Council will have the task of having everything in readiness at that time to go on with the work.

NAB THREE MORE IN PHILADELPHIA MURDERSCANDAL Man Who Hired Gunmen Said to Be in Hands of Dis trict Attorney Philadelphia, Oct. I.—Additional arrests were made here to-day in connection with tho ( political feud in the Fifth ward on primary elec tion day when a policeman was killed and several politicians badly blackjacked by gang3tcrs brought from New York for election work. Those taken into custody up to early afternoon were ' Samuel O. Maloney, superintendent of the local branch of a detective agency; John Wlrtschafter, a city district detective and Mollis Feldman, a policeman. Wirtschafter is charged with lead ing an illegal raid on a political club the night prior to the primary and is also detained in connection with the affair in which the policeman wart killed. Doesn't Trust Police Maloney Is a former harbor mas ter. He is in the custody of Dis trict Attorney ltotan, who refused to surrender him to the police. On order of Director of Public Safety Wilson, Captain of Detectives Tate swore out a warrant for Ma loney's arrest on a charge of con spiracy to murder, but the district attorney's detectives took him into custody before Tate's men could serve their warrant. The detective bureau warrant for Maloney follows the issuance of a statement last night by State Sena tor Edwin H. Vare in which he charged that arrangements had been made through Matoney to bring thugs to Philadelphia for election work. Murder Charge The policeman arrested to-day is charged with conspiracy to murder. Ife is attached to the second district but was on duty in the Fifth ward on primary day. Polica Lieut. Bennett, under charges with Mayor Smith and Isaac Deutsch, of conspiracy to murder, announced that he had found the man who sold blackjacks to the New York gangsters. Bennett said the man was Harry Cohen , a store keeper, and that he sold a box of sixteen blackjacks for sl3. Cohen, who was summoned to the district attorney's office for examination, said he could identify the man who bought them. GERMAN STAMINA LESSENED, SAYS BAKER [Continued from First Page.] the Germans to retake the lost posi tions. "Beginning Sunday last the con stantly increasing violence of the" counterattacks reached a culmina tion on the 27th instant when seven powerful onslaughts, by' the picked 'storm battalions' of the enemy en deavored vainly to regain the lost ob jectives. The village of Zonnebeke, the center of the conflict, is now iirmly held by the British. "It is evident that the efforts of the enemy in this sector are not ac tuated merely by the desire to re gain lost terrain of little more than tactical value, nor must their per sistent attacks be considered merely the normal reaction of a modern Held engagement, in which counter attack invariable follows an attack but rather it is to be noted that the enemy realizes fully the immense strategic importance of the British thrust along the Menin road. Gel-man Line Threatened "This new British advance in the Yyres salient now definitely threat ens the enemy's line of communica tions to the Belgian, coast. The Os tend-Lille railway, .which in a large measure feeds the German naval bases at Ostend and Zeebrugee, the latter the home port of the Germiln high sees submarine flotillas, now conies within the range of the Are of the British guns. "The superiority of the British over their enemies was conclusively proved during the engagement of the past week. The battle of Mer.in road, furthermore shows that the fighting stamina of the Germans is deteriorating, not that the enemy did not display great skill and dogged determination in his repeated coun terattacks." Of the fighting on the French front the communique says: "The outstanding feature- of the recent engagements is the wastage of the manpower of the enemy. If we compare tho combat front of Ver dun in 1916, held by twelve German divisions, with the combat front ulong the Aisne in 1917, held by fourteen divisions, both of practi cally the same length, it is found that during the same period of time, from May to September, 1916 and 1917, respectively, the enemy engaged along the Verdun from twenty-live new divisions last year; along the Aisne, thirty-five new divisions this year. Wastage Great "So great has the wastage of enemy forces become, owing to tho improved mechanical means of the allies and the perfection of their methods of combat, that the Ger mans are obliged to maintain in re serve as a minimum guarantee safety of their battle line in the west, at least forty divisions. The western front thus remains the principal bat tle front of the war. It is still strong ly held by the enemy and his defen sive strength, while shaken remains powerful." The situation on the other fronts is dismissed with a brief relief re view of recent official dispatches. The only mention of American forces follows: "The mobilization of the National Guard in their camps is proceeding rapidly and the formation of reor ganized divisions is taking place. This reorganization is necessitated by the conditions of the present war and requires larger regiments and certain machine guns and other units not typical heretofore. Some misunder standing of tho reorganization has arisen but its purpose and military necessity are being explained and tho division commanders are doing their utmost to preserve the local asso ciations and historio memories of these state forces. "The assembling of the National Army in the cantonments has gone on with smoothness and success. Equipment difficulties are not seri ous and are being rapidly overcome. The most obvious shortage is in rilles but an adequate supply for all pur poses will soon be at hand and no delay in training results from the shortage. All overseas forces are of course adequately supplied." LONDON REPULSES FIFTH AIR RAID IN SEVEN DAYS New "Air Barrage" Claimed to Protect Great City From Damage Tiondon, Oft. I.—Nine persons wore killed and r<rt.v-two injured in last night's air raid, it is an nounced ofilcinlly. British naval air patrols destroyed two enemy machines and brought down an other, says an ollicial announce ment. A Gotlin also was brought down and is believed to have been damaged. All the British machines are safe. London. Oct. I.—The air raid Sun day night—the fifth within seven days—as far as available details show accomplished nothing Important for the enemy. The claim that the now "air barrage" acts as a powerful de terrent to the raiders seems to have been justified further in the latest attack. An immense number of guns of various caliber were in action. In deed, It was they and not the in vaders who were putting up a show. There was an intense and far-reach ing searching of the skies in all di rections, the flashes of bursting mis siles showing brlghtly'ln the heavens notwithstanding the extreme bril liance of a full moon. Even more impressive was the ter rific din of the guns. Gunfire Deafening The enormous and prolonged vol ume of gunfire certainly was alarm ing to civilian ears not accustomed to it. Some of the high-velocity weapons employed detonated with a deafening crash indistinguishable by tile civilians from the roar of burst ing bombs. So great was the amount of defensive shellfire that an esti mate of a thousand shells discharged tor every bomb dropped does not seem extravagant. One invader was driven from I-on don by the guns of the fleet. South west of the capital another was seen over the Thames estuary. It was htranied in by shellfire and wriggled for halt an hour trying for an exit from what seemed a triangle of bursting shells. It finally escaped seaward. HoNpitnl I£MCIIIICN A half dozen bombs were dropped in a suburban district without caus ine casualties or important damage. One of the bombs narrowly missed sli iking a hospital. The newspapers, while commending the vigor of the defense, still call for other measures and advocate repris als on German towns. They Insist on this point with greater vehemence. The Times contends that It would be absurd to suppose that the problem of successful defense had been solved. It points out that the intense gun fire is only a partial deterrent and warns that air warfare is capable ot infinite expansion and that new meth ods will have to be found lo com bat it. The Times advocates a great air fleet capable of carrying the war into Germany. BUILDING TAKES DROP IN SEPT. Nine Permits For $201,255 Granted; to Start on Open Air School Soon Building work in the city took a| decided drop last month according io I figures compiled at the office of the | city building inspector. During September,. nine permits | were issued for construction work 1 which is to cost $204,255. One of these permits was for the new plant l of the Evangelical Publishing Com- I pany now being erected at Third and Reily streets at a cost of $200,000, while the remaining eight wero for small additions and repairs, to cost $4,255. • September, 1916, was one ot the record months for the year. Forty five permits were issued for work which cost $406,075. While the contractors do not an- I ticipatc any more large jobs this year, it is probable that extensive building plans may be made for the coming year. A permit will prob ably be taken out in the near future for the erection of the new open air school for the city school district. Tliis will be built at Fifth and Sen eca streets, and will cost approxi mately $36,000. Wrong Men Are Being Sent to N. A.
