Toric or Flat Lenses
Patients frequently ask me
If I have discontinued making
flat lenses.
This question no doubt
arises because toric lenses are
now In almost universal use.
or because I usually recom
mend them. I still fit patients
however with flat lenses when
they prefer them. In some In
stances they give entire satis
faction and have the advan
tage of costing less than torics.
It may be of Interest to you
to know that I am equipped
to supply any form of lens and
almost any style of frame or
mounting.

TELLS OF BATTLE 1
ALONG THE MARNEj
Lieut. Murray Writes of Open
ing Stages of Great
Contest
The Elliott-Fisher establishment!
employes, high and low, werej
mightily interested to-day to hear]
news of their former advertising;
manager. Lieutenant Robinson Mur-1
ray, who came to the firm direct!
from Harvard several years ago and I
quickly endeared himself to all
hands and also became immediately j
popular in Harrisburg. Joining the ]
Colonial Club and making a great;
number of friends Lieutenant Mur-i
ray sustained the reputation made]
at Harvard where he was not only a j
brilliant scholar but topnotch athlete.
He was one of the first to answer the |
call for officers and after completing!
his course at the first training camp j
established, made his way rapidly in!
promotion. He is now regimental in
telligent officer, grading upward
from battalion adjutant, connected
with the 38th United States Infan
try, Third Division, and his battalion
is the one which will become historic
for its stand at the second battle
of the Marne. In this, the first let
ter received from him, he tells about
it as follows, from the location "On
the north side of the Marne, July
26:"
"Our regiment was. and is, right
in the middle of it all. Sufficiently
so that the regiment has been cited
fqr its wonderful work in stopping
the Boche drive. lam told here that
all the country people are talking
about our regiment, and believe me,
they ought to, for there could be|
nothing finer in the war than the;
fight they put up. Many of my
friends have 'gone west,' both offi- j
cers and men. My only wonder is
that there are any of us left.
"I was about 200 yards from the
river Marne when the Boche bar
age started, the night of July 14-15,
at 12 o'clock, to the minute. The
Allied guns had been playing a
steady tune for one hour. When the
Boche opened it was indescribable.
I could look down the river valley
and see the high hills on both sides
standing out in relief against the
continuous flashes of light which was
bright as day. Believe me, I did
not pause long to watch.
"All that day we were in it with
everything going. I know what bul
lets sound like now. They're not
pleasant, when one knows they are
aimed right at where you stand. Be
ing attached to battalion headquar
ters I was up on a hill slope, over
looking perhaps two miles of the
valley—the most wonderful oppor
tunity to watch one of the greatest
battles of the war one could have—
a decisive battle that can't yet be
estimated at its true value.
"I took a scouting trip on top of
one hill; surprised about .eight
Boches, and got two of them before
they could get away. Then another
lieutenant and myself went back,
got a detachment of men and went
up once more to help hold our
"I'll tell you straight—what you
can't learn from papers—if the units
on our right and left flanks had held
as we did, the Boche would never
In the world pushed up back from
the Marne. As It was. we were or
dered from the rear to withdraw be
cause we had no flank support. So
that is why the regiment ,is to he
decorated and have the Croix <ie
Guerre colors on Its standard. Our|
major Is to get the congressional]
medal and most of us are 'honorably 1
mentioned' or some such thing.
"But such things can never pay
for what has been lost. As I look ]
out across the river I can see the j
railroad running along on the other;
side of the Marne —the 'line of resist- 1
ance' we held. I can see a little]
rough cross of wood —yes, actually
see it now. with my two eyes, right
on the railroad embankment where
my friend St. Phillips lies buried.
His body laid on the battlefield more
than a week before we could get to
It. Lieutenant K. P. Murray lies
near him. They are two of hun
dreds. And that is war. They've
had it for four years over here. Do
you wonder they're sick of it?
"We have been in the big counter
attack too, and to-day I heard our
regiment was to be cited again. More
of my friends have gone the last
three days. But the attack goes on
around me now—and the Boche
draws back. For how long I don't
know.
"Yes. I'm spared. I'll have plenty
of tales to tell, stranger than fic
tion, Just because they are true—
how we rescued two wounded Amer
icans who had laid in one town five
days, wounded, and the Boches, dur
ing that time, had brought them
water; how one man wriggled over,
killed seven men of a machine gun
crew and captured the gun; how
another stood in his little trench not
five feet from the river bank and
threw bombs into the Boche boats,
until he himself was killed by one
of his own bombs; how a little ser
geant shot through both legs made
his men carry him up to the firing
line again so he could still command
his platoon.
"Well, enough of such things. The
sun shines and the fields are just as
green."
There was an additional interest
to Lieutenant Murray's letter by rea
son of the vivid account from Lieu
tenant Marcus Dowdell which was
printed on the front page of the
Telegraph on Saturday. The closing
paragraph in his account fully veri
fies the statement of Murray that this
unit was ahead of the flanks.

to-day protested to the Public Serv
ice Commission against the failure of
the Susquehanna Water Company, of
this city, which operates in Susque

supply of water. It Is charged that
it has "repeatedly" failed to maintain
its supply, gives no notice of failure ™
and thereby endangers health and
property. The complaint Is the cli
max of conditions the last month and
will be scut to the company for a
prompt answer.
The commissioner of Radnor town
ship, Delaware county, complained
that under the new schedule of the
Springfield Consolidated Water Com
pany, of Philadelphia, for fire service
it has to pay an increase of 1180
per cent. The increase is alleged to
be due to the Inclusion of a charge
for pipe lines.
Residents of White Haven com
plained that the White Haven Water
