to Western Front
BERLIN, Sept. 23. —A new army of 110,000 men has
been sent tu the assistance of the allied forces at the

DUMB! IS NARWNEB
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Aus
trian Ambassador Pumba is maroon
ed. He t must stay in this country
until his government complies with
the request for his recall. 'J'his was
broadly hinted at today by high
officials. That he will be allowed
to return home'-on leave'eventually,
however, after compliance of the
Austrian foreign office with this
Government's request was confidently
believed.
Word was expected from the
Austrian government within a few
daya, and probably before Dumba's
proposed sailing next Tuesday.
It is not believed in diplomatic
quarters here that Dumbs will dare
risk arrest by British authorities by
sailing without u safe conduct. The
liner Rotterdam, on which he has en
gaged passage, stops at Falmouth.

Harrisburg, Bept. 22.—The State
Board of Education tonight com
pleted negotiations for the purchase
of the Clarion State Normal School

$335,000 and other property worth
$39,500, is to be bought for $20,000
cash and assumption of $46,000
