The speed with which the different items on the program were disposed of evoked the admiration of a city of ficial present and brought from him tho observation thut so big a pro gram, involving the election of new officers and other important mat ters, "couldn't be done" without much lengthy ado. not to mention other glaring ways of carrying elec- j tions and doing things in political bodies. 51 rs. H. C. Sheaffer, chairman of the nominating committee, who facetiously reminded the delegates to the meeting what was expected of them by the "city official" in the course of the election, speeded up this part of the program in retalia- I tion for the "slander," with the fol lowing results which were achieved in record time and without "graft:" All the officers of last .year of im portance, with the exception of president, were re-elected.

This will occur In 1919. 51any of the papers scheduled to . be read at the morning session were put over until this afternoon, but the few which were read were of vital interest to members and au ditors alike. Mrs. Curtis Sooy, branch secre tary of extension, read a paper on "Seed in Good Ground," describing and interpreting the work done among women in the home and else where, who, owing to invalidism, duties of motherhood or other rea- | sons are kept from regular church j attendance. Invariably such as | these are kept on the "inside i track" of things religious during their forced stay indoors with the result that when they emerge upon the spiritual life of the church proper they find themselves not a whit behind their more fortunate communicants. In the group of reports made this morning three missionary eandi- | dates were introduced and two an- j nounced. The former were sliss | Elizabeth Kilburn, Miss Emma E. , Donohugh and Miss Hazel Work- j man. ' The latter were 51iss Ruth j Dansom and Miss Frances Vander- | grift.

LENS IS TAKEN BY BRITISH IN ADVANCE tContinued Fronl Pngg Oue.j istic elements of tho empire may gather In an effort to bring about a negotiated peace. German Lines Give Way With their lines broken in many places from the North 6ea to Verdun the Germans are beginning to retreat at many points along the battle line. Outflanked and imperiled by the advance of the Anglo-Belgian armies east of Ypres, the enemy now is rap idly retiring from the La Basse sector. It is reported that Mciiln and Roulers are burning, that the Belgians are within two miles of Turcoing and that Lille is being emptied of its civilian popu lation. • Around St. Quentin the fighting still continues in mostly rear guard engagements. Retreat Before Bertholet'B Army Near Rheims, the Germans are retreating before General Bertholet's army. In Champagne, the enemy slowly is giving ground as General Gouraud moves northward; f In the Belgian sector the enemy's situation apparently is most critical. Their retirement from La Bassee apparently necessitates abandonment of the district of Lens, to which the Germans have desperately clung. Move Heavy Guns Off Coast The Germans are reported to be moving their heavy guns back from the western Flanders coast, and rumors from Holland says the whole ooast may be evacuated. British, American and French forces apparently have broken the Hindenburg line between Le Catelet and St. Quentin. They are across the Somme rivers which was the strongest line of de fense in this sector. North of Rheims the French have carried the hill positions preparatory to pushing forward across the lowlands east of the Aisne canal. Hard Fighting in Two Sectors In the Champagne and the Argonne the French and Americans are fighting hard and progress seems to be very slow. The drive north of Rheims is closely related to that near Verdun. With Damascus lost to the British, Turkey again is reported to have unofficially approached the Allies with proposals for an armistice. Austria Clamors For Peace In Austria the demand for peace is assuming a more definite phase. Baron Von liussarek, the Austrian premier, in an address before the lower house cf parliament expressed belief that efforts to end the war would be continued by Austria.

Mars Still Is Evening Star; Moves Eastward I The planet Mars is still visible as an evening star, but is quite low in the southwestern sky. • It is moving | eastward and "will soon pass to the | northward of the bright star An (tares in Scorpio. On October 9 it jwill be near the melon. Jupiter is in the constellation Gemini, as we have I already seen. The position of in conspicuous Uranus is noted on the I map. The other planets are either morning stars, or in any case too near the sun for observation. As we have enjoyed the "Harvest Moon" during September, coming as the full moon nearest to the equi nox, so we shall in a less degree have the October evenings made pleas antqr by the "Hunter's Moon," I which is always the full moon fol lowing the "Harvest Moon." At this time of the year the moon comes to the full when traversing the portion of its path which lies nearly parallel with the eastern horizon, as it arises.! Thus the moon seems to skim along! the eastern horizon, rising only a I little later from night to night, and so gives us the numerous moonlight evenings.

Mr. Hoagland is survived by his father and a sister in California and a sister in Pittsburgh. He was grad uated from Central High School In 1911 and had a wide acquaintance. May Resort to Quarantine City health department ottlciuls are awaiting notification from the State Department of Health which will require all physicians in Harris burg to report at once to the bu reau all cases of Spanish influenza, or grip. Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health officer, said that a number of doctors are already making re ports of all their cases and urges other physicians not doing so to communicate with the bureau at once. Dr. Raunick is of the belief that unless tho epidemic is soon checked drastic quarantine measures may be necessary such as are now In force in other cities where schools, theat ers, churches and all other public meeting places are closed. There is no indication yet that such a step is necessary in Harrisburg he said, but if reports from physicians show an alarming spread of the disease which has already caused many deaths when it developed into pneumonia, then health officials declared they will issue the quarantine order. Warning Is Issued • Dr. Raunick has issued a warning to everyone In the city to avoid large crowds and has requested that any p(*on who sneezdlj or coughs while in public or at home should use prop er care in preventing a spread of in fluenza germs. "Use handkerchief, or better than that, paper napkins if at home, then burn them," is Dr. Raunick's advice. "The best preventative is the use of o good nose and throat antiseptic to kill the germs. Plenty of sunlight, fresh air, keep windows open at night and plenty of cover on beds, use proper care in rapid changes of temperature from warm buildings to the open air, do not get into large crowds, and do not get too close to members of the family who may be sneezing or coughing—all of these precautions will prove a big aid in stopping a spread of the disease. "Physicians should report cases they arc treating at once. It is high ly important that the city health authorities keep a close watch on the number of cases developing so that they can determine with what degree of rapidity the influenza, or grip, is spreading. Unless everyone co operates in this manner there will be difficulty in checking the contagion and drastic measures may result. "The deaths from pneumonia which are being reported seem to in dicate that in a number of cases persons first become victims of in fluenza, and that other minor afflic tions follow rapidly developing into a serious condition often of such a nature that it can not be checked in time and results fatally." While there are no complete re ports at the health office Dr. Raunick said that from communications from physicians there is no doubt that the affliction is still spreading. i Archbishop Wanted to Lie With People St. Paul.
