London, March 18. German
troops have occupied Bakhmatch
and Konotop (in the province of
Tchernigov about 350 relics south
west of Moscow), but were forced to
retire from Briansk (in the province
of Orel, 200 miles southwest of Mos
cow) towards the main base, says an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Moscow, dated Saturday, Austro-
German troops are moving on Wor

S. Magee, United States Marshal,
provide that when an alien enemy
changes his place of residence with

made to the United States marshal,
when the registration officer denies
the application. Penalty for viola
tion of this ruling is arrest and de
tention for the period of war. Reg
istration officers who acted in re
cent registration, will continue to

purpose.
Conditions Again Normal
on Main Line of Pennsy
Station attaches, trainmen, bag
gagemen, mailmen, in fact everybodv
who has anything to do with the train
movement for the Pennsy, was happv
t.o-day. Ther'e was a reason. Passen
ger trains were running on time, and
freight traffic was going with a rush
that indicated a record ear movement
for March.
For the first time in many weeks,
clerks at the Hureay of Information
found It easy to say "on time," when
inquiries were made about schedules.
It was like old times to the ushers
and ticket examiners, as handling tlie
big crowds was more satisfactory.
Boy Scouts. Collect More
Than 5,000 Books
Six hundred more books for soldiers
came Into the Boy Scout Headquar

hours' hustling on the part of Scout
Troop No. 21, the last unit to be en
listed. Previous to this the total was
4,681. The results so far have passed
all expectations and the field has
hardly been touched. The volumes
tumbled in so fast that Scout Master
Stine has not been abl£ to look them
over entirely, but the quality appears
to be excellent. The Red Cross will
sort and ship them. '

ment at Swarthmore Meet
ing at End of the Week
Senator William C. Sproul will
make 'formal announcement of his
candidacy at the meeting of his
friends and neighbors at Swarthmore
on Saturday. This will be a gather
ing of Eastern Pennsylvania Swarth
more alumni, and will attract na
tional attention as the Pennsylvania
contest is now a matter of more than
state-wide interest.
Highway Commissioner J. Do mi.'
O'Neil plans to make some speeches
and visits throughout the state this
week. The commissioner went from
Philadelphia to the hard coal region
Saturday and yesterday addressed
three big meetings in Wiiliamsporf,
speaking at Newberry Methodist and
First Baptist Churches and at a
men's meeting attended by 700 vot
ers. He rapped the liquor interests
in politics and called on'the men to
register and to put rum clown :md
out.
There is considerable interest In
what Governor Brumbaugh proposes j
to do in the campaign. The Gover-|
nor intimated last week that he;
would continue to find texts in his
diary ajul the opposing forces inti
mated that if he did they would ask;
him questions. Congressman B. K.'
Focht, of Lewisburg, in an interview
at Washington attacked the Governor
for dropping William Hertzler
deputy secretary of the Common-j
wealth and not appointing William |
F. Eekbert, or Mifflin county, as a!
factory inspector, and assailed the
administration's record. The Gover-t
nor returned here to-day, but gave
no intimation of what he intends to,
do.
Regarding the second place on the;
ticket it looks like a light. According
to the Philadelphia Ledger "Senator |
Vare yesterday said the proposed i
conference between the mayor, the*
Vare coUnty officials, ward leaders
and members of the city committee
would be held at the headquarters of
the Republican city committee with
in ten days. No indication natural
ly has been given as to the guberna- j
torial choice to be effected there, but
the prospects of an indorsement of
Senator .Sproul, the Vare leaders as
sert. hangs on the manner in which
the Sproul element takes the candi
dacy of Representative John R. K.
Scott for lieutenant governor. For
Senator Vare and those associated
with him throughout the state '.lave;
determined that the congressman
will bo named for second place on the
state ticket."
Secretary of Internal Affairs Paul
W. llouck is furnishing much of the
interest in politics at the State C'api- j
tol as his friends have secured blank j
petitions for secretary of internal af
fairs and state senator. The impres- !
sion here is that Houck will be a
candidate for renomination, although
he has not made any announcement.
He is not here to-day and in his ab
sence friends at the Capitol will not
say anything that,would commit him.
Lex N. Mitchell, member of the
House from Jefferson-county, who is
out with an announcement of candi
dacy for Republican nomination for
congress-at-large, has announced
himself for woman suffrage, the dry
amendment, state and national pro
hibitary laws and humane legisla
tion.
Peter E. Costello, Philadelphia, to
day filed the first congressional i
nominating petition for the May pri- i
mary. He will be a candidate for
Republican renomination in the Fifth j
