The Crown Prince has moved his headquarters from Mezieres in hot haste. THE German lines along the Suippe river, in the Champagne sector in France have collapsed. Progress made by the French yesterday apparently indicates the enemy's retreat north ward is more of a flight than an orderly retirement.

FAVORS DRY AMENDMENT Party Nominee of the Prohibi tionists May Endanger His Election, It Is Said Special to the Telegraph York Haven, OcA. 12.—The stupid- I ity of certain alleged supporters of i the prohibition cause is emphasized jin a situation which has developed |in York county. It seems to be the i policy of the professional prohibi tionist in Pennsylvania to deliberate ly do the things which obviously he ought not to do because of an ex aggerated sense of superior wisdom. It is believed here and throughout the district that in the event of the defeat of .the Republican candidate for the State Senate, who is an avowed advocate of the prohibition amendment, that the responsibility must rest upon the Prohibition can didate for Senator who hopeless of election himself insists on remain ing on the ticket even though in do ing so he may endanger the success of the Republican nominee. There is no doubt that the real fight on the prohibition amendment will be in the State Senate and on the election of one candidate may hinge the success of the cause in Pennsyl vania Notwithstanding the unfor tunate attitude of some of the Pro -1 hibition leaders, and especially their candidate for the State Senate, it is believed that the strong temperance sentiment in York county will result in the election of the Republican candidate. Marlon Favors Prohibition George Mariow, of York, the Re publican nominee for Senator in the 28th senatorial district, prior to the primary declared that if nominated and elected he would support the na tional prohibition amendment, state | wide prohibition and local option measures. He was nominated with out opposition. Subsequent to the nomination he was called upon by a committee of the Prohibition'party of York county and again pledged him self in writing to support the nation al prohibition amendment, he having been led to believe that the Prohibi tion candidate, M. F. Fishbaugh, would withdraw from the Prohibition ticket and his nan* (Marlow's) be substituted therefor. The local Pro hibition committee of York county, notwithstanding this position taken by Mr. Marlow and the admitted in ability to elect Mr. Fishbaugh, have not succeeded In substituting Mar low's name for that of Fishbaugh. The Republican nominee because of his position on the liquor question, will without doubt defeat Henry Wasbers, the Democratic nominee, I who has always been and is now re garded as a wet candidate. Those who are sincerely interested in the election of a Senator who will vote for the prohibition amendment are disappointed at the action of Mr. Fishbaugh in declining to get oft the ticket. They allege that if he is sin cerely for prohibition he should not hesitate to withdraw and have the name of Mr. Marlow substituted for hij own, thus guaranteeing to Mr. Marlow the additional vote of the Prohibition party of York county. Many sincere Prohibition men among the Republicans are begin ning to doubt the sincerity of some party prohibitionists.

No i change was noted in" his condition; to-day. 364 PERISH IN CRASH OF SHIPS (Continued From First, Pago) dozens of the % boys floating around me, all dead, with nothing but their blue faces out of the water.. Soldiers Throw Rope "A big roller carried me into a kind of a cleft in the rocks and I was thrown upon the side. I must have passed out. When I came to I saw two British soldiers on the other side of the ravine. They threw me a rope which I made fast and crossed hand over hand." Joseph Pollock, said he believed many more of the soldiers would have been saved but for the steep banks of the cliffs. In one little cove twenty-eight bodies were counted. Grateful to Islanders All the Americans voiced their deep gratitude to the islanders for thetender care they gave the men. The survivors were put to bed in private houses and were so well pro vided for in every way that no one wanted to leave when the relief ship arrived. As was the case with the victims of troop ship Tuscania the loss of the Otranto's papers prevents the army authorities from learing the names ! of the missing. All tfie names of the survivors are being cabled to Wash ington where they will be checked | against the full list kept at the port from which the vessel sailed. In this way the dead will be ascertained, i The Otranto struck the rocks Sun jday night south of Saligo Bay, Islay j Island, an uninhabited section where Uhe coast line in many places rises i straight out of the water to the | rocky peaks many feet above. | Soon the ship began to list, and the soldiers and crew, under per- I feet discipline, moved in a body to | the other side, thus preventing the vessel from capsizing. Suddenly | through the mist loomed a small 1 destroyer which had picked up the I Otranto's distress signals. The de stroyer herself was partly disabled Iby engine trouble.* Seven of the i Otranto's boats were lowered to the I water to as a buffer for the de j stroyer, which with wonderful sea- I manship maneuvered close to the I steamer's side. The order to abardon ship was" given and the officer commanding the troops instructed the men to remove their overcoats and" shoes. Scores then began leaping from the rails, forty feet above, to the de stroyer's deck. A's the destroyer neared the side of the Otranto the men began to (jump from thirty to forty, feet from jher decks. The more experienced sailors of the crew of the steamer 'nad better success than the soldiers, I many of whom had never seen the sea until this trip. As the destroyer steered toward the side of the steamer many of the men leaped too quickly and missed their reckoning and dropped between the boats. Some of these disappear peared in the water, but others of | them were caught and crushed to death between the boats and the lifeboats which had been lowered to act as buffers. The destroyer was badly battered. The captain of the destroyer, each time it was brushed away from the side of the Otranto, again would push near enough for many more To the People ofHarrisburg: 1 THE Board of Health is doing everything in its power to check the serious INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. A breakdown in the Telephone service would be a cat astrophe and we have learned that the system has been - depleted over one-third, due to illness, and that the rest - of the operators are remaining at their posts though much fatigued from overwork. The Telephone service is handled by trained operators and vacant position at the switchboard means, poor service. Too many vacant positions means a breakdown in the service. The con dition is becoming more acute each day and the public must realize the seriousness of the situation and lend their co-operation in the crisis and place only very essen itial calls, for a breakdown in the Telephone system, es pecially at this time, would prove fatal. The Board of Health, therefore, requests the public to place calls only of the most important nature. i John M. J. Raunick, M. D. City Health Officer ✓ * mm mmmmammmmmmmmmammummjtm men-to jump to the deck of his ves sel. He described as a veritable rain the number of men landing on the destroyer. Many of those who reach ed the decks of the vessel suffered broken bones or otherwise were hurt. Those who missed the deck of the destroyer -went to almost instant death. Four times the battered destroyer came alongside, and each time the previous scenes were repeated. At the end of the fourth trip she had 310 Americans, 236 of the crew, 30 French sailors, and one British of ficer on board. The boat was full, and having done all possible, she started for port. The survivors saw the Otranto drifting helplessly towards tho rocks as they pulled away toward the Irish coast. The destroyer barely had time to send a brief message when her wireless was carried away. The little overloaded vessel had a rough trip to port. One of the American troops on board the Otranto pictured the scene when the vessels collided. Sol diers lined the dfceks as though on parade, and at the word of command stood at attention like statues. They never wavered, remaining there in military formation, exemplifying during the crisis the noblest tradi tions of the army for heroism and discipline. The same thing, said the soldier, applied to the seamen, i Numbers of bodies to-day were be ,ing washed up rapidly on the shore, lit was reported that 176 had been ! counted at noon and nearly all of !them had been identified. I Further details of the work done by a British destroyer in taking off from the Otranto and landing safely hundreds of soldiers and sail ors brought to this port accentuate the remarkable daring and skill of the rescuing craft. Even after the ■ survivors had reached the deck of the destroyer, their position con tinued desperate, for mountainous waves repeatedly broke over the lit tle vessel and, according to reports, swept about thirty persons over board. For nearly twelve hours the survivors, all wet through and many badly injured, were effposed to the fury of the wind and the waves until the destroyer made port. Fifty-five were hurried mto wait ing ambulances and rushea to hos pitals. Others were taken to a British barracks, where the Ameri can Ked Cross quickly fitted them out with a complete change of clothes and all were given hot food and stimulants. Private Raymond Simpson died on the destroyer from injuries and was buried to-day. The Otranto was the flagship of a large convoy including the Kash mir, which, as the result of a heavy gale, became unmanageable. A thick rain closed in on the convoy Sunday morning off the north coast of Ireland, and at about 9 o'clock the Kashmir rammed the Otranto amidships. Although the Otranto's com mander realized the ship probably was fatally damaged, he ordered the other vessels to proceed, including the Kashmir, which was able to con tinue under her own steam and eventually made port. The Otranto's case seemed hopeless. The gale was then at its worst and the seas run ning seventy-five feet high. There was no chance of launching the boats, and as the engines had stopped as a result of the fires being put out by the inpouring water, the big vessel was at the mercy of the waves and drifted rapidly before the storm.
