ALL RACES ARE CONTRIBUTORS TO Y. M. C. A. FUND Subscriptions to Great War Work Continue to Come Into Headquarters Arch H. Dlnsmore, boys' campaign manager of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Fund wore a broad smile on his face this morning when he re ceived announcements to the effect that Lancaster county has $3,730, and Cumberland county has $1,210 in pledges and contributions from boys, to the fund. The grand total of contributions from boys of the Harrisburg district is $12,830. They have gone "over the top" with $2,830 to spare. Among the contributions this morning was a check for $12.75 from Oak Hall school, near Llngles town. Another contribution from a school in the foreign district, In Harrisburg, was a crisp new $lO bill, with this letter: "I wish that you could realize just how enthusiastic these children have been in this matter, how even the very little ones have denied them selves that they might have a share in this great work. 1 has done more to instil into them a love for the country, not of their birth, but of their parents' choice, than anything that has happened since I have been working in this locality. /VII Nationalities "The contributors have been Italians, Russians, Austrians, Ru manians and even Germans, as well as Americans. • "One little German-born girl said to me that she had two uncles in the German army, but she wants to help America. "We hope to send you another similar contribution by the ficst of the year." Pennsylvania's total for the boys' fund is now $144,550. The Keystone NO REASON TO BE WITHOUT MUSIC Child's Musical Education Means Much to Its Parents There are many homes throughout this country, and in other countries, too, for that matter, where there is no music in the home, for the simple reason that no members of the fam ily can play the piano. A dust-collect ing, silent piano is often, unfortu nately, the rather melancholy sight that greets the visitor in a number of homes nowadays. Ofttimes, again, there is no piano in the home because of the inability to play on it. This.simply means an entire deprivation of music in that home, an utter absence of the noble atmosphere of the greatest of arts, and the consequence loss to the growing generation in that family circle of the refining, uplifting and educational influences of music. How entirely different is the home in which there has been installed a player piano of reliable make! Here everyone can play the player, and how especially beneficial and divert-] Ing to the tired father, coming home after the cares and petty annoyances of his business day is the relaxation, recreation and genuine pleasure af , forded him by playing any selection of his preference. The wife can play, and so can the older children. They can interpret their own individual musical selves exactly as they wish, and there are no limitations whatever, as regards the musical selections that may be rendered artistically, on a thoroughly reliable and dependable playerpiano. Then the youngest members of the family, the young girls and boys growing up and ready to take music lessons, their ears will be correctly trained by the many selections on the player piano they hear given by the older members of the family. Cor rectly training the ear is the first step in musical education, and a most important one. Through the medium of the player piano, this step Is easily facilitated, and at the same time perfect tempo is provided, and the adult performer himself is obtaining first rate enjoyment besides. Another important point; The father and mother will exercise par ticular care in the selection of the compositions they play in the hear ing of the younger children. They will strive to interpret the better, the more worthwhile musical selections of every character. This naturally would promote the most desirable influence, yet be exerted almost un consciously on the young child. When the child's ears are educat ed In the right direction, based on the right fundamentals, It means more and more musical education of the right kind, and a more and more intelligent appreciation of good music in the entire household. Then, later on, the child can learn to play the piano with an excellent start In matters musical and with an appre ciation of the better class, worth while music, which will have far reaching results in the further musical advance the child makes. The reliable player piano, with Its piano feature, is, of course, always available for the child's piano les sons. Joseph Stransky, conductor of the fatpous New York Philharmonic So ciety; Dr. Karl Muck, conductor of the Boston Symphony, and other eminent leaders in the music world, agree that the musical education of a child should begin very early, when a child is moat susceptible to impres sions, when it most readily yields to the benign influence of good music, and is, so to speak, flexible In Its mental development. How Ideal and very useful, then, are the artistic functions of a reliable player piano in the lrome!' ■ . - HARJRIBBT7RG TELEGRAPH state boys lead. New York follows a laggard second, with $84,750. Esti mate* of national officials place the boys' fund of the nation at at least a million and a quarter dollars. The final reports on Lancaster county's contributions give a grand total ot $67,000 to the county. Of this, $3,700 came from the boys of the county. Few Boys Needed If 545 boys sign pledges agreeing to eara $lO each for the Y. M. C. A. War Work Fund, Pennsylvania wIU go "over the top" in the boys division of the campaign. That number of signers is required, ac cording to H. J. Schmidt, State Boys Campaign Manager. "I am very much pleased to learn of Lancaster county's splendid show ing," said Arch H. Dinsmore, dis trict boys campaign manager this morning, when apprized of the fact that Lancaster county boys had con tributed $3,730 to the fund. Lan caster county's quota was $2,000. Harrisburg is second only to Pitts burgh, in standing of state districts. Pittsburgh leads the vanguard with pledges of $7,500, and an allotment of $4,000. The Harrisburg district follows with contributions of $12,- 180 and a quota of SIO,OOO. Phila phia was sadly deficient with a quota of $5,000 and pledges of SI,OOO. "The work in Lancaster county, said Mr. Dinsmore," was largely due to the efforts of W. W. Hollinger and Charles W. Sayeru, who gave large blocks of their time to the work." W. ARTHUR CARTER W. Arthur Carter. 35, a well-known jurist and graduate from Central high school, died recently at Cincin nati. He was a former Harrisburg boy. Carter studied law in Indiana, later moving to Cincinnati. He was a mem ber of the staff of the Harrisburg Post office for a number of years. He married a Miss Ivander, of Washing ton, D. C., who survives liim. His mother, the wife of George W.

PHILLIPS An almost continuous debate is being conducted in various ways, as to whether the war will inspire great paintings, great literature and great music. We are certain to have paint ings and music, born because of the war: but, whether the art and mu sic will be great and lasting, remains to be seen. There have been tons of literature already about the war. but who will say we have yet had any that will endure. I am always sus picious of the writer, painter or composer who depends for real in spiration on the sorrows or calami ties of the world. Last week it was pointed out that we must seek the beautiful and develop self-expres sion. and this will point the way to a source of constant inspiration. The great art gallery at Harris burg cntained an exhibition last Monday evening that charmed and thrilled and inspired. The exhibit was not advertised in advance, ana it only last a few minutes. There was no charge for admission. The ex. hibit was held outdoors and the pic ture was limitless. The colors ob served included, Naples yellow, ceralean blue, orange vermillion, , burnt orange, purple, primrose, I Payne's gray, Mars yellow, indigo, I pale green, lemon yellow and Cobalt j overhead. All these were in the sky, blending softly into each other, both transparent and opaque colors used skillfully by the master of all paint ing. A Lesson In Colors Here was a lesson in color, cloud forms and composition. Here was a model for humans to see and ab sorb. The dark, sharp outline of Pennsylvania's hills, the low lying river, with its cold local color, warmed by the colors of the reflect ed clouds and the almost leafless trees all brought sharply to our mind that here was legitimate and never ending Inspiration. The great art gallerier. of the world contain fa mous pictures, but they never change, except, perhaps, to slowly fade, but here at our own beautiful river front we have had,.and do,have continually, pictures constantly changing, that cannot be encircled by a frame, or even correctly imi tated ty the hand of man. Let us go a bit further. When we see the even ing star —marking the close of day and the beginning of night—let us irtlaglne when the beautiful evening lamp shines forth, that the vesper hymn Is beginning up there—that music sweet and clear. Is chanting above us, and inspiration Is given to all who will hear. Handel heard It, Bach heard it, Beethoven heard it. Charles Wesley heard it. Many others have heard it. So, we have never-ending inspiration in the Bible for literature —In sky and nature for painting and both in heaven and earth for music. Love of beauty is a secret and In violate thing. Our tendency to-' y in to seek our salvation—of any kind whatever —In the crowd. We form literary and musical clubs to do what each person should do for him self. Least Resistance Thfts we follow the line of least resistance. Our daily pursuits in commercial life are a necessity, and energy is devoted to enlarging our capacity and income. The develop ment of self-expression and love of beauty Is not deemed a necessity be cause It brings no monetary reward, Harrlsburg as a city, and Its wpn derful location will never be fully realized and appreciated until the community has a desire for bettei* thlnge; until taste Is developed and a sincere and lasting civic pride is established. With the opportunities to hear good music, brought to us from outside sources, and our own local organizations working faith- NEWPARTYNAMES ARE PRE-EMPTED National and American* Par ties Are Authorized Here Names of the National and the American parties were pre-empted to-day at the State Capitol and in the Dauphin county court for the nomination of candidates for Gov ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secre tary of Internal Affairs and Con gressmen-at-Large next year The pre-empters are all residents of Dauphin county.

IT ALI ANITc AJNLOST GROUND INBIG BATTLE [Continued from First Page.] Tomba and Mont Monfenera. Here the full force of two divisions, one German, the other Austrian ,was hurled in a furious attack on the Italian righ wing in an effort to cut off the army from its line of com munication along the Plave. One of the bloodiest struggles ot the war, followed. It continued all last night and to-day with a steady succession of attack and counterattack. A succession of attacks and coun terattacks folloyed rapidly through out yesterday on the hills between the Piave and Brenta valleys, where the Italians and Austro-Germans are engaged In furious combat. Brigades and regiments, their numbers dimin ished in the struggle, were reformed and returned to the fight. In one section where there were thirty of ficers twenty-seven were killed or wounded, but the remaining three fought the battle of the thirty. Mountain batteries had been se cured in mountain emplacements, and as the fight ebbed and flowed over these positions the Italians not only brought back the guns but oven the wheels and the limbers, their pride not permitting a vestige to fall into the hands of the enemy. Field Strewn With Dead The final charge of the day came at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The enemy struck his greatest blow earl ier in the day and the fierce attack lasted three-quarters of an hour. The whole field was swept by artil lery fire and the ground was strewn with dead. It was amid this welter of bodies and debris that the Italian lines were reformed and from it thev moved forward steadily and ir resistibly until the disputed ground was retaken except at one point, where the struggle still goes on. in this last desperate charge the offi cers and men were eager to advance, preferring death to being made pris oners. The enemy losses must he very heavy, but he is bringing for ward a steady stream of reserves.

NOVEMBER 24, 1917, a heavy fight west of Brenta river where the enemy rush has been re pulsed by the splendid resistance of the Italians. * Many Brave Deeds The Count of Turin, commander of the Italian cavalry in the recent retreat has Riven out a written re view of the deeds performed by ills men. Many instances of individual daring are recorded. A .'orporal of the Florence Lancers was ordered to explore a zone near Clvidale. Going forward, he saw a large party of Italians held prisoner by the enemy. He returned and gathered a force of cavalry which released the imprisoned party and brought them back. In anothe* case Piedmontez <cavalry. after being surrounded, broke through the enemy lines, but the colonel com manding failed to escape. He was the only man left inside the enemy circle and he was seen to take his stand against a wall, probably pre ferring death to being made a pris. oner. The fate of the Cazerta cavalry which dismounted and fought afoot, and of their fellow dragoons also is recounted, making this recital one of the most stirring chapters of the recent operations.

RUSS EMBASSY REJECTS RULE OF EXTREMISTS Attaches in Washington No tify Lansing They Will Support U. S. in War By Associated Press Washington. Nov. 24.—Ambassa dor Bakhmetieft, of Russia, formally notified the State Department to-day that the embassy does not recognise the authority of the extremists now in control of the foreign office at l Petrograd. i John Sookine, first secretary of the embassy and an officer of the Russian Army, and Ferdinand"lse Mohrenschildt, the second secretary, who married Secretary McAdoo's daughter last May, have offered their services to the American govern ment for the war against Germany. In a letter to Secretary Lansing, following the resignation of three of the chief officers of the embassy to avoid having relations with the Bolsheviki, the ambassador said the Bolsheviki government was not rep resentative of the true will of the Uussian people and that he would not recognize that or any similar government which would lead the country into nonparticipation in the war. The ambassador said he consid ered himself duty bound to remain at his post and would do so with a competent staff of assistants. While expressing the belief that the true spirit of Russia was bound to arise, hesaid, it was evident that until con ditions changed, the embassy could not exercise in full measure Its es sential duties and therefore he had authorized members of the embassy to find other fields for their activi ties.
