"Therefore, being of .peace-loving

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

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.

At Night Germans Use
Them to Observe the
Movement of the Al.
lied Armies
j SEARCHLIGHTS
AID IN THE WORK
Night Combats Have Become an Im
portant Element in the Action and
Are Telling on the Stamina of
Troops on Both Sides
| Paris, Oct. 7, 7.05 A. 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.''
