White Hill Residents
Complain About Skip-Stops
•Residents of Eberly's Mills and
White Hill to-day entered complain
against the Valley Railways Com
pany's elimination of the stop in
White Hill known as the Maintown
Road. It is claimed that it is a stop
which has been in use for years and
is of more value than the stops at
Cumberland bridge and Dennv road
which it is asserted can be given up
without much inconvenience.
The Public Service Commission has
written to C. F. Quinn in reply to his
inquiry whether the valuation of the
properties of the Harrisburg Rail
ways system will be ready by Octo
ber 29, the date set for the hearing
against the fare increase, that valu
ations are not always necessary to
determination of a case as 'was
shown in a recent decision, that of
the Indiana County Street Railway
Company, and that when made are
generally agreed upon by the parties.
Suspect Smallpox in
Illness of Steelton Man
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, was notified this afternoon
that Steelton officials had found a
person believed to be suffering from
smallpox. He was requested to ar
range at once to use the contagious
disease hospital near the county
almshouse and if the disease de
velops into smallpox the vlcitm will
be taken there at once. Dr. Greist,
a physician in the employ of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, reported
to Captain Richard C. Batley, who is
in churge of the emergency hospital
in Steelton for influenza patients,
that the smallpox suspect is under
surveillance.
STOCKHOLM HAS WAR PRICES
Stockholm. Restaurant prices
have reached such proportions that
only very wealthy people can af
ford to eat in the restaurants of the
better class and even in the second
and third-class places it is difficult
to eat properly at a price within
the reach of the person of modest
means. The authorities have be
gun an investigation and may regu
late them. The Dagens Nyheter
publishes a list of the profits of
twenty-one restaurants for 1914 and
for last year showing increases run
ning from twenty-five to 200 per
cent.

PRECAUTIONS
STILL NEEDED
Dr. J. M. J. R&unick, city
health officer, said this afternoon
that while the Influenza epidemic I
Is abatlnK slightly the situation |
has not Improved to any great |
extent, lie urged strict observ- :
ance of the quarantine orders of ;
the health bureau and warned '
residents of the city to continue
the precautions of the last two j
weeks. •
"There has been no decided j
change for the better, but I hope |
1 that in the course of a few days i
| the effect of the quarantine or- j
ders will be noticed. I cannot
tell until there is a big improve- l
ment in the city when the closing
orders will be lifted. Until then
every one should co-operate with j
the health officials in the Same !
manner as they have during the
last two weeks."
V J
where 18 patients have been dis- l
charged over the week-end leaving 1
92 under treatment there. No new;
! patients were admitted to-day but it I
was announced that 20 of the j
patients at the Harrisburg hospital j
will be transferred there as they are i
convalescent. Few of those at the :
emergency hospital are very sick.
Quarantine in F.ffcct
Although health officials now be- i
lieve the situation is improving they j
said that every precaution must be |
taken for some time yet to prevent;
a recurrence of the dread disease, i
None of the closing orders will be:
lifted yet and restrictions prohibit
ing large gatherings will be enforced,
they said.
Continued co-operation of the pub
lic will soon bring about> a decided
improvement in the influenza-pneu
monia epidemic which has held the
city in its grip for the last few weeks,
according to Health Officer Raunlck.
The crest of the epidemic has been
reached ho said, and the danger point
will soon be passed. Co-operation
in observing the closing orders will
result in lifting the ban in the near
future, health officials believe.
On Saturday night all stores and
other business places closed at 6.30
o'clock, and yesterday no church or
Subscriptions Slow •
Subscriptions are slowly coming
into Red Cross headquarters for the
children made grphans by tlie in
fluenza epidemic. Many anonymous
contributions have been received, the
sum totalling sl3o. The
amount set by the Red Cross offi
cails as the goal of the fund is
$2500.
"I would like it emphasized," said
a Red Cross official this morning,
"that subscriptions may be made to
be paid monthly. People have the
idea the sum is to be paid in a lump
amount We shall be glud to re
ceive it in instalments of several
dollars a month." It is aimed to
secure 100 subscribers each of whom
will contribute $25 to the fund.
"Many people do not realize the
importance of this fund. It should
be stressed that there are actually
a number of ohildren here in Har
risburg who have been made home
less by the epideniic. We must pro
vide some means for their support
and education. That is why the
fund is being raised."
Steps have bgen inaugurated at
the State Department of Health
which it Is hoped will enable a de
termination to be reached the mid
dle of the week as to hoW the closing
order against places of public
amusement and saloons may be mod
ified. It is thought by officials here
that the plan by which it can be
determined when the order may be
raised will be ready to announce by
Wednesday. No assurance as to the
duration fo the closing order was
given to-day.
In a statement issued to-day Dr.
B. F. Royer, ucting commissioner of
health, said that there has been "a
gradual easing tip of the number of
cases in Chester and other affecteil
Sunday school meetings were held.
Public schools are to remain closed
this week, and the "court sessions
scheduled for to-day have been post
poned until November 4. All other
court sessions for this week have
been continued indefinitely.

Dixon Complimented
Dr. ltoyer in discussing the pre
i pa.ration for handling the epidemic
iof influenza in Pennsylvania, said:
j "Thq highest compliment that could
have possibly been paid to the last
j Commissioner of Health, Dr. Samuel
G. • Dixon, has been paid him in
[working out the methods for hand
ling the present widespread epidemic
|of influenza in Pennsylvania.
"The highest kind ,of compliment
was also paid to Dr. Charles B. Pen
irose, author of the bill creating the
Department of Health, and to all the
j members of the Legislature serving
I during the session of 1905, and to
'the late Governor Samuel W. Penny
! packer, who signed the act and made
|it a state law."
Appeal For Fresli Air
| Tire State Department of Health
[has issued an "Appeal to the Travel
ling Public" to-day:
I "Good ventilation and the avoiding
of crowds are important factors in
J preventing the spread of influenza.
jThe State Commissioner of Health
I has endeavored to prevent crowding
| public gatherings and ordering the
I and bad ventilation by prohibiting
| closure of places where people con-
Igregate. It is not practicable ,how
jever, to make this order so far reach
ling as to stop the operation of steam
[and electric railways.
"Unfortunately, our trolley cars
land railroad coaches are often over
crowed and badly ventilated, espe- J
cially in cool weather when the old
fashioned idea prevails that it is
dangerous to sit by an open window.
While persons think nothing pf tak
ing long trips in open automobiles
gnd sleighs in severe weather, many
individuals seriously object to having
car windows open even in moderately
cool weather.
"The State Department of Health
appeals to the traveling public to
wear heavier clothing or carry an
extra coat while riding and to insist
thatthe car windows be left open."
New Food Rules For
Eating Places More

Donald McCormick, federal food ad
ministrator, to-day announced new
food regulations, applying especially
to eating places, bearing tlie signa
ture of Howard Heinz, state adminis
trator. All violations are to be pun
ished severely. The aodministrator
says the food situation is more seri
ous than it was a vear ago.
Bating places are divided into two
i classes, A and B, nnd > the fololwing
I regulations are announced:
j As to public eating places in Class
"A," all Class A public eating places
j shall servo nt both the noon and
evening meals at least one combi
nation platter consisting of one meat,
poultry or Ash, with potatoes and nt
least one other vegetable which shall
be served at a price not to exceed
from fifty to sixty per cent, of the
total prices charged for the full por
j tions of each article of the combina-
I tlon if ordered and served separately.
As to Classes A and 2, all public
enting places, both A and B

than 3,000 prisoners. The Germans were forced from positions
of great natural strength on a wide front and the British gains
were maintained despite enemy counterattacks. The British now
hold the heights between the Selle and Harpis rivers and are in a
position to outflank the Mormal forest and cut the railroad be
tween Valenciennes and Avesnes.
Farther north the Allied forces continued their progress through
Belgium and French Flanders from Denain to the Dutch border.
On the north the Belgians are approaching Ghent while in the
center the British are marching on the Scheldt river and outflank
ing Tournai, an important railway junction, which has been rend
ered useless to the Germans.
IN spite of the efforts of the
Germans to check the ad
vance of .the Allies in Bel
gium, the British, French and
Belgians continue their sweep
ing march from Tournai to the
Dutch frontier. Official reports
show that they have reached
points within ten miles of Ghent.
The Belgians are along the
Wcynze-Eecloo canal, which
runs' northward from Lys river
to Zeebrugge, and have taken a
number of important points near
that waterway. Farther south,
the French have crossed the Lys
and have established bridgeheads
at various points. Along the
Lys, the British second army has
moved swiftly toward the
Scheldt river and are at Pecq, on
the west bank of the river.
In this sector of the battle line,
the Allies are moving toward the
southeast and it seems they will be
able to reach Ghent with their main
forces in a very short time. The
Qermans have flooded some of the
country, but this has failed to in
terfere with the progress of the
armies commanded by King Albert.

through Aves and Berlalrnojyt. This
roafl is the principle avenue of com
munication between the German
armies north and south of the wedge
being driven into their lines.
The French have been successful
along the C-lse and Serre rivers. On
the southern side of the Lys salient
they reached the heights west of
Grandlup.
French Strike at Be Chcsnc
West of the Argonne forest, the
French have reached the outskirts of
the village of Terron-sur-Aisne,
north of Vouziers. This seems to be
a stroke at Be Chesne, northeast of
the Argonne forest. The village of
Le Chesne is an important highway
center and 'a on a line of railroad
which runs southward to Buzancy,
behind the front where the Germans
are striving to stop the American
drive on the line from the Argonne
to the Meuse. If Le Chesne should
be occupied by the French the event
would be almost certain to bring
about a German withdrawal east of
the forest.
Germans Keslst Americans
American forces apparently are
meeting with desperate resistance
along the front west of the Meuse.

ENEMY SCUTTLES
BIG MAIL BOAT;
FIRE ON OSTEND
Germans Make Sure Channel
Will Be Blocked; Hun
Money Only Coin There
With the Allied Armies In Relgluni,
Oct. 21.—Before leaving Ostend, the
Germans scuttled a large* mall boat
alongside the old British warship
Vindictive which was sunk in the
channel there last May. They thus
made doubly sure the channel will
be blocked for a lbng time.
Inspection of the city shows that
British shells did terrific damage to
enemy military and naval establish
ments,. but diil not harm the resi
dential or business sections to any
extent.
The only money to be found In Os
tend and other liberated Belgian
cities is German. Many of the Small
er children, especially in Ostend, use
German as their own language. 'The
enemy apparently went out of his
way to teach his tongue to these chil
dren.
