HEW HEAD OF FIREMEN Coatlaaed Fm Ftnt Pace. affairs in Europe was unanimously adopted as follows; for 'Peace In Europe ' That tlie firemen's con vention of Pennsylvania here assrnn bled, w;itih sinvere sorrow, deplores the jjreat loss of life in consequence rf the war now being waned in Europe, result ing in making orphans ami widows and an the destruction of life ami property whitfh can never be replaced, Which in opinion, will not be conducive to any great benefit t-o the caune of hu manity. "Therefore, being of .peace-loving propensities, we do urged by whatever influence we are able to exert, that a speedy conclusion of .hostilities between the nations involved will result in haip piness and prosperity to these nations, which present conditions «n only have the effect of disorganizing and disru'pt in(f." Moose Entertain Firemen To-night ' Open house t'o* visiting firemen will be held to-nigttt beginning at 8 o'clock by the Order of Moose, in the Moose headquarters. Third and Boas streets, where there will be a. band concert and luncheon. By a rising vote the convention ac cepted the gift of proceedings of the organization for the last 35 years pre senteiPto the association by the widow of .Tames A. Greene. The polls closed at 11 o'clock and during the counting of the votes the first, annual memorial service was held. A tribute to the firemen who died dur ing the year was read by T>r. Bern heisel, followed by the singing of livmns. A resolution was adopted manifest ing the appreciation of the firemeu k for the hospitality extended them by this city, and extending thanks to the members of the chorus for their serv ices in the first memorial service. It was unanimously decided to adopt the memorial hymn used at the service a? the official memorial hymn of the association. The words wera' written by a member of the associ ation. Presideut Humphreys, after having | been escorted to 'the platform, was pre sented with the gavel by retiring Presi dent Croil. Mr. Croli said that it was | witih sorrow that he had to enter the | rave for the presidency against Mr. Humphreys last year, but that it was witli pleasure he turned over the gavel at this time. Mr. Croil was presented by tho as sociation with a Vietrolft in apprecia tion of his services during t%e year. W'hiie a record was being played, the | retiring president expressed his grati tude for the gift. Early to-day the Harrisourg compa nies began receiving their visitors with marching squads, but l>y noon the com | panies began arriving so fast. th»t. the I best the local people could do was send ! a committee to the station and escort J each company of visitors to the head | quarters. Impromptu parades were ev i erywhere and occasionally there were ; so many that they interfered with each other. The usual procedure for the reception , of a visiting company was to escort iit to the tire house where a short lunc.heon was served and then to the hotel or lodging house that is to be its head quarters. After arriving and getting i established the accompanying band would give a concert in front, of the j hotel. Serenades the Star-Independent When thai) form of entertainment |<%ileri on the firemen and bandmen they started another parage and hunted up places and persons to serenade. The various newspaper offices in tihe city came in for their share of music. The New Cumberland band played excellent music when serenading the 'Star-Inde pendent. It. seemed that, everywhere bands were playing throughout the afternoon. !D!eftnSte plans were formed by the various companies to have concerts this evening at their fire houses ror trie nn terfcaininent of the persons residing in the vicinity of the houses. The plans for the receiving and bousing of the ap paratus 'brought to the city for tho pa rade worked out admirably. Berth the Philadelphia and Reading and Pennsylvania railroad companies co-operated with the, local committees in making easy the handling of the ap paratus, most of which is motor driven. •Special cars were run into the Pen sy freight station at the foot of Third street and local committees attended to the unloading'of the apparatus and had it at the station to participate in the parade of its company to the fire house where it will be housed duriug the stay of the visitors. In case there was no room in the fire house, a gar age or stable nearby was rented for that purpose. There was a good deal of activity around the headquarters of the Har risburg Firemen's Union this morning when it became known that the souve nir books of the convention had ar rived. /Each registered delegate is en titled to receive a book. There was such a rush that the local committee had to call the roll of registered dele gates so that they could be supplied as they were registered. The supply of guest badges gave out last night and the local arrangements committee rushed a telegraphic order to the makers for an additional supply. Thesp will be distributed as soon a« they arrive in the city. Official programs of the formation of the parade, containing the name of each company, the names of all of the the officials, together with the number of men in each company and band, have been printed by the firemen's union. These will be sold on the streets to morrow. FATALITIES JN QUARRIES Fewer in U. S. in 181S Than In mi si, But Higher Than England and France By Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 7.—Fatalities in and about quarries in the United States were fewer in 1913 than in 1912, but were higher than in Great Britain ami France for the corresponding years. Figures issued by the federal bureau of mines to-day show that 183 men were killed in* 1913, compared with 213 in 1912, s decrease of 14 per dent. The of men employed was 106,278 and ti.e death rate per 1.00K) was 1.72 com fa'"d with 1.88 during 1912. In France tho death rat© in 1912 was less than one in every j 1,000 men employed. In Great Britain ' for the ten years 189-5 to 1904, the rate was 1.09 for every 1,000 men. About, two-thirds of the fatalities la the United States were caused by I explosions, falls of fpiarrv ami haul- I age. "The higher death rate in the. American quarries," declared Albert H .Fay, engineer of the bureau of ; mines, " probably results from less | stringent regulation and less systematic j inspection. The workers have ample i protection and air and are not exposed to the risk of roof falls, hence the fatality rate should be lower than in underground mining for coal or metals. Yet the fatality rate in open quarries in the United States is even higher than in many of the coal or metal mines of foreign countries." CONFLICT OF THE AiSNE SHOWS FEWER SIGNS OF UN EARLHEHINATION London, Oct. 7.—The conflict along the rivers of Northern 'France, although now in its twenty-sixth day, shows few er signs of an early end than It did two days ago. Then (General Von Kluck appeared dangerously threatened bv the enveloping movement of the allies armies. To-day thai, resourceful Ger man commander, having obtained from an unknown quarter iheavv reinforce ments, apparently is engaged in liis turn, in attempting to outflank the 'French and British lines. This counter stroke is viewed here as the supreme feature in the situation in the western theatre of the war and its full significance can be guaged only by tho actors who alone are iprivileged 'to 'witness the drama in whiic-h thev are engaged. Von Kluck's Persistency Simultaneously with his newly launched turning movement General \ on Kluck has been trying to cut right 'through the center of the allies' extend ed left at itjaasiguy. The official French communication says that this attempt was foiled, but it is not doubted that the efforts will be renewed .and in the event of success it would compel the left wing of the 'French army to re tire towards the coast in order to es cape the German 'linos stretching out simultaneously from the north and east. The tig'hting in this neighborhood, de scribed in the official 'French report as "more and more violent," must, it is believed, reach to Antwerp and large ly influence the fate of that fortress. The Siege of Antwerp The surest, way of raising the siege , °f the temporary' Belgian capital would be tho success of the French turning movement on the Oise. Neither the German or French com j manders have claimed any decision in this unprecedented struggle. Indeed, the German report states that nothing decisive has resulted yet from the at tacks and counter attacks in the dis trict extending from Lille to Roye toy way of Lens, Arrays and Albert. Both the Germans and the Austriaus claim to have eaiptured the Russian of fensive and attained successes, but, as usual, the Musi ovite statements failed to agree with those of their opponents. German headquarters in Berlin an nounced that the Russian advance on the East Prussian border not only was checked, but that Emperor Nicholas' forces have been successfully attacked near Suwalki, the scene of much re cent fighting. Russians Suffer Heavy Losses Further south on the Vistula, Ger man and Austrian forces are said to have dislodged the Russians from their entrenched positions between Opato-w and Ostrowiec, with heavy Russian losses in prisoners and guns. The Au*- trians claim suc-cesses in Galicia also. On the other hand, the Russians are reported as steadily advancing to the westward and southward. The most recent, British victim of mines is the steamer Admount, which is variously reported as sent to the bottom by British and German mines. The official report is not available, 'but. it is claimed that if steamers are following the sailing directions there is no danger to them from the British mine field. This mine field is now re garded, it is said, as essential, as it has securely sealed the channel in prep aration for a period of fog in long nights when lookout by aircraft will no longer be possible.

M.— Captive Walloons to discover and observe, tli® L movements of the allied armies and powerful searchlights to point out the t positions and to blind the defense dur , | ing night attacks are being used bv tflo j Germans in the great battle to the . i north and east of Paris, which still is i without definite result. Military science [ recently is lost sight of and the contest ■ becomes merely the turning forces I against one another. Night combats have become an im portant element in the. action. They are frequently forced by the Germans and as often are repulsed by the al lies. They are telliug on the stamina of the troops on each side, many of whom already are worn out on the fir iug line in the seemingly unending struggle. Elomont of Daring in Germans I The French public, who throughout I have shown calm are patiently await . tug a decision. The changing actions at ; various points along the battle line, as indicated by the war office statement, furnish opportunity for diversified { j comment as to their significance. . ; l.ieutenant Colonel Rousset, the '■military critic of "La Liberte," sees ' in the latest maneuvers of the Germans ! an element of daring. A large spread ing movement on the Hank of tin ad versary, he says, can have the incou , j venience, generally grave, of enlarging ; the space which exists between the , | moving troops and those on the front. I This must necessarily have a reason | able limit under the risk of transform i j ing the plan into a detached operation I simply which would be very perilous ! for those executing it. Such a move ment moreover says Lieutenant Colonel Rousset, has hardly a chanc'e of sue i | ceediug and only so when not discov ered which does not. appear to be the i : case judging from the war office state [ ! ments. Remarkable Method of Fighting General Pierre Oherfols, in comment i ing on the situation, declares that the t material organization of the enemy really is powerful and that all the I French wounded are unanimous in ssy ■ ing that the Germans have had excel lent practical instructions and that from a technical point of view they - fight with a remarkable method, i The Germans know, he says, how to • ; be patient and to wait. They realize j the ground with real art. There they i make themselves invisible ,ind have I many a gruesome surprise to the im . | petuosity of the French. Their machine ■ I guns are very numerous and are sorne i j times grouped. They have one company lof machine guns per regiment. They ' < are always hidden, often set at the [ j edge of woods seeking to have an . oblique fire, j The Germans first fine of march, I General Cherfils continues, are cover , | ed with sheaves of corn or are well , j ctmeealed otherwise. In advance of , | them are their elite marksmen. Nearly I all the French officers who lost their | lives, says the general, were killed by j these firers who always were hidden. ,! Their junction with diverse units is | j complete and the accord between the artillery and the infantry is of a per | manent intimacy. The jnfantry ad vances only when supported by the artillery. If their technical supremacy is mani , fest their moral inferiority he sayß, | stands out. They fight only two or four against one and nearly always flee in front of the bayonet. BATTLE ON THE LEFT WING CONTINUING VIOLENTLY Paris, Oct. V, 3.08 P. M.—The fol ; lowing official communication was giv | en out in Paris this afternoon; "f)n our left wing the battle still continues with great violence. The Osg fronts extends to the region be tween Lens (nine miles northeast of Arras) and Labassee (thirteen miles ' southeast of Lille) and ard lengthening iby masses of cavalry which are in groups as far as the vicinity of Armen • tieres (nine miles northeast of Lilie and virtually on the Belgian frontier). "On the front extending from the j Sorntne to the AJeuse there is nothing ! to report. j "In the Wocvre district the enemy j made a new effort to stop our progress but his attacks again failed. "In Russia the Germany army, de i feated in the battle of Augustowo ! which lasted from September 25 to i October 3, endeavored to arrest the Russian pursuit at prepared positions along the line of the Wirballen frontier. I At Lyck the Russian troops continue their advance, and at several places : they have penetrated into East Prussia, i To sum up, the German offensive on j the Niemen has been brought to an end by a complete check accompanied by very considerable losses.''
