City to Test Validity
of Law in Court
Counsel for H. F. Sheesley and
Tloffer & Garman, grain dealers who
have brought suit against the city
for payment of seed hills, to-day
petitioned the court to list the cases
for argument because the city has
not tiled an affidavit of defense. It
was stated to the court that an act of
1917 does not require municipalities
to file answers to such suits and that
the argument will be more to de
termine the constitutionality of this
law.

front the Second Liberty Loan cam-
I
pa'ax "cnchlnit tho Treasury Depart
ment early to-day gave no definite
Indication as to the total amount sub
scribed, The full measure of tho na
tion's response probably will not be
known definitely before tho latte:
part of the week.
Troasury officials, on the baalsof ro
turns at band, were unable to sa.v
whether subscriptions to the loan
had passed the $5,000,000,000 marjt,
although they were ngroed (be
uhanooa are that tho flsurei approx
imate this amount.
Reports to tho department to-day
said that reserve bank officials and
local loan committees after yester
day's breathing spell were hard at
work In an effort to comtileto thel;
tabulations of returns. They have
until Thursday to make final roports.
These subscriptions onng the toial
of outstanding certificates of indebt
edness issued as a part of the Lib
erty Loan financing program up to
$2,029,666,000, the largest amount
recorded. The entire sum will havt
to be retired out of receipts from
the Second Liberty Rond issue.
Should subscriptions to the Lib
erty Loan total $5,000,000,000, the
amount of acceptances. Secretary
McAdoo has announced, would be
$4,000,000,000. The present huge to
tal outstanding certificates of indebt
edness shows that more than half of
the $4,000,000,000 already has been
spent by the government.
Further figures showing Liberty
Loan subscription totals, the Treas
ury Department announced to-day,
will not be made public until No
vember 1. This decision was reach
ed when it became apparent that the
Federal Reserve banks would be un
able to make more than approximate
returns before that time.
There was nothing to-day at the
treasury on which to base an esti
mate of the grand total of subscrlb
tions. It was assumed, in the lack
of reports that the banks were busy
tabulating the totals, -which rolled
in by the millions Saturday, the final
day of the campaign, officials reas
serted their belief that the loan had
passed $5,000,000,000.
Next Thursday Is the last day upon
which banks may make returns. All
subscription agencies, including the
26,000 banks in the country, are re
quired by the Treasury to have sub
scription lists and two per cent, of
subscriptions required with bond ap
plications in the hands of the reserve
banks not later than that date.

MAY SEND AID
TO ITAUAN ARMY
[Continued from First Page.] j
Venetian plain and the overrunning |
of Northern Italy.
Driving Wedge
While the whole Isonzo line Is in
grave danger, there is also a serious
threat in the Teuton to the
Italian line in the Carnit Alps and
even in the Dolomites, north of Bel
luno. Apparently Field Marshal "on
Mackensen is endeavoring to drive i
a wedge between the armies on the
Carso front and those in the moun
tains northwest of Udine. Some of
the advanced Italian positions in the
Carnic alps probably have '>een
abandoned already. If this should
prove true the Ta'gllamento rivet
seems to offer General Cadorna his
first defensive lino unless his armies
stiffen greatly and hold the invaders
within a few miles of their present
positions.
Expect Retirement
Operations carried out by the Bel
gians and French looking toward the
elimination of Houthoist forest north
of Ypres, are progressing favorably.
The entire Merckem peninsula, south
of Dlxmude, has been captured by
allied troops who have also taken
Merckem and several other villages
west of the forest. The British hold
the southern side of the forest and a
continuation of the Belgo-Freneh ad
vance would make the German po
sition untenable.
A German retirement between
Warneton and Dixmude to straighten
out the lino and eliminate the Ypres
(salient is not unlooked for in German
military circlies. One leading Ger
man critic. Major Moraht, says the
front is untenable: and that the Ger
mans will have to retire to a new
line. Such a line probably would
run through Menin to Houlers, to
Thourout and thence to the sea.
GermnuN Withdraw
On the northern Russian front the
Germans have extended their with
drawal movement to Include the force
that recently was landed on the Wei
ll <>r peninsula after the capture of
Oesel and Moon island at the en
trance to the Gulf of Riga. This
landing was viewed at the time as a
threat against Ileval, the Russian
naval base on the Gulf of Finland
and as a possible prelude to even
more extensive land operations by
the Germans in the direction of Pet
rosrad.
The withdrawal leaves the Germans
without a foothold on the Ksthonian
coast, attempts by them to follow up
the original landing by putting troops
ashore at points both north and south
of the peninsula having failed ac
cording to the Russian reports. There
has been a somewhat prevalent as
sumption, however, that there was
never anv intention by the Germans
to push their Riga operations much
hevond the naval stage this fall, the
view being that the threat against
the gulf of Finland may well have
been a diversion for political effect
in Russia or to distract attention
from operations in preparation else
where.
Artillery Fight ItiiKe
The artillery battle is being con
tinued in Flanders and sections of the
Aisne front and the Verdun region.
In the last named the Germans at
tacked spiritedly last night between
Chaume wood and Bezonvaux, east of
the Meuse. and won something more
than 500 vards of advanced trenches.
The French in an immediate counter
attack recaptured the major portion
of the lost ground.
Italian Second Army
Quit Without Fight
Rome, Oct. 2 9.—Units of the
Italian second army surrendered or
retreated without fighting, permit
ting the Austro-German forces to
break the Italian left wing on the
Julian front and invade Italy, says
the official report. The Italians now
aro retreating In accordance with
the plan prepared.
It is estimated unofficially that the
Italians are opposed on the front of
the Austro-German attack by forces
four times their number.
The War Office announcement fol
lows:
"The failure to resist on the part I
of some units forming our second
army, which In cowardice retired
without fighting or surrendering to
the enemy, allowed the Austro-Ger
man forces to break into our !eft
wing on the Julian front. The valiant
efforts of other troops did not en
able them to prevent the enemy from
advancing into the sacred soil of
our fatherland. We now are with
drawing our line according to the
plan prepared. All stores and depots
ir. the evacuated places were de
stroyed.
"The record of many memorable
battles fought with success by our
bravo soldiers during two and one
half years of war Is sufficient to as
•rurc. the Commander-in-Chief that
the army to which the honor and
safety of the country are confided
will know how to fulfill its duty."

Great Britain and
France Must Go to
Aid of Italians
By .Associated Press
London, Oct. 29. —That Great Bri
tain and France must go promptly
to Italy's help is the view expressed
by several morning newspapers. The
Times which prints a statement im
plying knowledge that such help is
contemplated, says editorially:
"Our word to the people of Italy
is to stand firm for help will surely
come • * Italy must not and
will not be deprived of the fruits of
the ultimate victory for which she
baa battled so long and so ardu
ously.v * * * In the truest sense
the Isonzo is our front as much as
the Somme and now that it has col
lapsed we must do our utmost with
out delay to repair it. There is no
need for alarm but there is the ut
most need tor promptitude and
broadness of vision."
While all the newspapers recognize
the gravity of Italy's perils, strong
confidence is epressed in General
Cadorna and the Italian army with
the conviction that they ultimately
will emerge victorious. Italian per
severance and success of the past are
recalled with warm admiration and
the weakness of some links in the de
fensive chain is condoned.
Austria Sees Early Peace
in Italian Front Drive
By Associated Press
Zurich, Oct. 29.—Austrian hopes of

The report of the proceedings in

During War
Plans for the conservation of
food in Harrisburg were gotten un
der way yesterday when ministers
of the city'H churches distributed at
morning and evening services the

the churches look the time from
their uervices to pass the cards to
every member of the congregation.
Where this was not done, the ushers
distributed the cards at the door
after the services. At a number of
the churches the ministers made ex
planatory and helpful remarks as
the cards were delivered.

the housewives to use as little un
necessary food us possible, and to
look carefully to the Utilization of
by-products and waste materials,
are to be nigned during the week

Sunday, who will forward them to

Will Be Pledged to
Save Food During War
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 29. —Food pledge
week got actively under way to-day
with a half million canvassers
throughout the country securing
pledges from 22,000.000 homes fot
the observance of the food adminis
tration's directions and advice in
food economy which President Wil
son has endorsed. With effective en
rollment of families to save food
throughout the war, the United
States will be able to export the
meat, wheat, fats and sugar Its allies
in Kurope sorely need to enable them
to maintain their fighting strength.
Lord Northcliffe. head of the Brit
ish war mission in the United States,
places the situation before the Amer
ican people briefly as follows:
"The greatest food experts on
both sides of the Atlantic say that
there is n world shortage of food.
The boys who are enduring the hell
of the trenches for our sake cannot
hold out if 111 fed. The situation
which we have to face right now
in this food pledge week is obvious.
Either the stay-at-homes must save,
that the soldiers may get their vital
needs, or the soldiers must go short
so that the stay-at-homes may fatten.
You cannot have It both ways and
n.ust make your choice."

! trlet will send sixty men and the

Resume Examination*.
To-day the Paxtang board resum
ed examinations after a layoff of
nearly two weeks. Seventy men were
examined, and this number will be
examined each day until 200 are
completed. The calling of these men
is to assure a sufficient number to
fill the quota although it is possible
that when the Paxtang board re
ceives its report from the district
board enough men will have been se
cured.
The Elizabethville board will not
examine any more men until order
ed to do so. The entire quota of 133
from this district has been secured.
The district exemption board re
sumed session this morning at 9
o'clock, to act on the cases that
were reopened by special requests.
The board will be in session to-day
and to-morrow and will act on a
large number of cases.
Claim Denied
The claim of Dr. Robert Barto, of
Elizabethville, whose case was re
opened this morning, was again de
nied. Dr. Barto after passing his
physical examination, filed a claim
with the district board stating that
there were only two doctors in his
town and that his services were in
dispensible. His claim was support
ed by the affidavits of a large number
of the town officials and residents,
j The board refused to grant the claim
! when first acted on. After several
i requests the case was reopened. This
;! morning the claim was supported by
| additional affidavits, but the board
I in its wisdom decided against the
physician. He will in all probability
I be assigned to the Medical Corps at
I Camp Meade.

said. The company plans to employ
125 persons and expects to open
about January 1. The factory will
have a capacity of 125,000 tubes a
