HUNTERS' LICENSES
WILL NUMBER 300,000
The issuance of hunters' licenses
in Pennsylvania will pass the 300,-
000 mark this week, in the opinion
of men connected with the state
game commission and it is thought

000 for last year. The issuance in
the large cities is said to be larg
er than last year.
The next legislature will have
over $400,000 to appropriate as a
result of the operation of the law
in two years. One-half of this
money will go to the reimburse
ment of counties for payment of
bounties on scalps of noxious ani
mals and birds, and the other half
will be to aid in establishment of
game preserves and in game prop
agation. It is the plan to estab
lish six additional preserves, the
sites having been tentatively se
]♦ eted.

unconscious and James was trying
to resuscitate him when he expir
ed. Scholtz is little the worse of
Lis injuries.
Germans Drive Back Russians to Warsaw
Although only meager reports
are at hand from any of the scenes
of hostilities it seems probable that
the most severe contest for supre
macy .is proceeding in that west
ern strip of Poland with its north
ern and southern boundaries, re
spectively the Vistula and Warta
rivers and its western front the
border of Posen.
Kaiser in Attempt to Take Town
44 Particularly quiet" is the de
scription of the operations in the
c estern zone given by the French
war office, although the usual ar
tillery duels and attacks by infan
try at various places were in prog
ress. Tracy-del-Val, a short dis
tance to the northeast of Paris and
at the crook of the elbow 7 of the
western battle front, was the
scene of the principal infantry at
tacks. Here the French rep- led
they held back a erman ....empt
to capture the town, inflicting
heavy casualties.
Petrograd Admits Big Reverse in
Poland.
As for the east, Petrograd has
admitted a big reverse in Poland
—a reverse in which the Russian
armies have been pushed back at
least 50 miles from the German
border toward Warsaw —but Ber
lin remains reticent concerning
the operation.
44 In the eastern theater of the
war the newly commenced battles
are proceeding,' is all the German
war office has had to say. A semi
official Berlin report says: ''Rea
sons of strategy" prevent disclo
sures of the troop movements.
That these battles "are pro
ceeding" however, is taken to
mean that the Germans are still
pressing against the Russians in
an endeavor to drive them back
eastward to Warsaw over the same
territory in which only a short
time ago the Russians held the
whip hand and herded the Ger
mans westward before them from
the Polish capital toward the Ger
man frontier.
s Rossiter Youth Wanted.
Steve Mceovish, a Rossiter
youth, is wanted at Rossiter, not
so much by the authorities as by
his father. Steve worked with his
father in the mines and on pay
day he drew both his own and liis
father's pay. He also contrated
a big bill at the company store on
that date and a few hours later
disappeared. The police of this
section have been notified to keep
a sharp lookout for him.

GENERAL JOFFRE FRENCH COMMANDER.
INDIANA, PA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1914.
Russia Claims Inroads Into Ger
man Territory
Along the East Prussia border
the Muscovites claim they are con
tinuously pressing forward and
making inroads into German terri
tory. Here also Germany makes
no claim.
With regard to the operations
southward in Galicia and. in south
ern Russian Poland, the Russians,

ACID FOR MEDICINE

medicine, Jean Elliott, seventeen
year old daughter of Andrew Elli
ott, of Rossiter. is in a serious con
dition. Just as it was getting dark
Monday night the girl went to a
medicine chest to get a bottle con
taining pepsin and took a consid
erable quantity of carbolic acid in
stead. Her throat and lips were
badly burned.
Record Deeds and Save Money.
Under the new 4 'War Tax" bill
every deed of conveyance requires
fifty cent revenue stamp for each
#5OO of the value of the land re
ceived. This act becomes effective
on December first, and it is sug
gested that persons holding deeds
not recorded, have them filed be
fore that date on the principle
that 44 a dollar saved is a dollar
earned."
Special Train.
The Kiski special train will
leave, at 12:15 today.
A battle has taken place o Se
bastopol in the Black sea between
Russian and Turkish warships. As
to its results the reports are con
tradictory. Petrograd claims that
the former German cruiser Goeb
en, which now flies the Turkish
flag, was struck by Russian shells
that explosions occurred on board
her, that she quit fighting and dis
appeared in the fog, taking ad
vantage of her speed. Constanti
nople, through Berlin, makes no
mention of the Goeben having
been injured, but says that one
Russian battleship was badly dam
aged and that the others fled to
wards Sebastopol.
Another Arrest for Larceny.
David Kephart, of Kenwood,
was arrested as he was about to
board a train for a West Virginia
point on a charge of being con
nected with the larceny of $3,355
from a man named Dodds. at Cly
mer. 11. C. Weir has been locked

enth street, has been selected as

mal school will enjoy a five-day
Thanksgiving vacation. A special
train will take them from Indiana

sibility of accidents or exposure
to cent a gious discas us.
Turkish Position Withers Under
British Attack.
The British again have been suc
cessful in an attack on a Turkish
position. The force operating on
the Shat-el-Arab river and the
Persian gulf drove from their
trenches an Ottoman force and
captured a number of prisoners,
guns and a quantity of ammuni
tion. The British lost three offi
cers and 35 men killed in the at
tack. The Turkish casualties were
not stated.
From British general headquar
ters at the front comes a further
account of the fighting along the
British lines covering the period
from November 13. to 16. In this
recital it is declared that the situ
ation, so far as it relates to the
British, has not altered in that
time.
The engagements consisted for
the most part of shelling at long
range and the violent German at
tacks, which had previously been
so persistent, had not been resum
ed.
Bloodless War Rendered
Possible by Noted Swiss.
Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 19
(via Paris) —A preparation which
ii is said, will stop almost instant
lv the flow of blood from a wound,
has been invented by Prof. Theo
dore Kocher, of Berne, who, was
awarded the Nobel prize for sur
gery in 1912, and his assistant, Dr.
A. Fonee. The new preparation
is called coagulen.
It is in the form of a powder and
is dissolved in water before being
applied to a wound. The discov
erers of coagulen have made a gift
of their invention to the armies in
the field and have sent large quan
tities of the powder to the surgical
headquarters of both the German
and French armies.
The discovery is regarded by
medical men here as likely to
save the lives of thousands of sol
diers, since it can be applied by
untrained hands, so that the
wounded man himself or his com
rade might use the solution.
Chief Harris on the Job.
Chief of Police Keller Harris ar
rested Richard Woomer. a young
man of Mt. Pleasant, who was

and buggy and a number of sacks
of buckwheat fiour from a Mt
Pleasant party. Woomer drove

tured by the officer last Saturday.

ALL THE NEWS FOR
ALL THE PEOPLE.
HAVE YOU SUBSCRIBED?
I 111 fit Mi
isjte i a
Committee of the Borough Council
to Decide for Its Purchase
The shriek of a siren too loud td
le that from au ordinary automo
bile and more subdued than the
we whistle, brought many pcopld
io their front doors Wednesday af
vcrnoon about 3 o'clock to see jusf
v Hat was the matter. It was eas
!v explained. It was a brand nev*
motor fire truck, which had been
brought across country from
Pittsburgh to tempt the Indiana
Borough Council into buying it,
as was authorized by the Bond Is
sue at the recent election.
The new truck is a beauty and!
was manufactured by the Lange
Motor Truck Company, of Pitts
burgh.
According to the circular of the
company, the price of the combi
nation chemical and hose truck is
$4,750. Of course, it is not.defi
nitely known whether the new ve
hicle will be purchased or not, but
the concesus of opinion is that if
would be the proper step for the
committee to recommend the pur
chase.
The new fire truck, which is at
present in the Fire House in the!
Municipal Building carries a 40-
gallon chemical tank and 200 feet
of chemical hose. There is also
room for four extension ladders,
1 200 feet of water liose and room
for a number of fire fighters.
The motor is especially design
ed for commercial truck work,
having long stroke, extra large
bearings and developing 50 horse
power. All parts are absolutely
interchangeable. The truck here
on inspection is geared to run 20
or 25 miles an hour, which is plen*
ty fast enough for this place.
On a trial run over the Indiana
streets the new truck took the
grades very good' and seemed to
meet the approval of the firemen
who had positions on the truck.
