GERMAN SUBMARINES SUNK Petrograd, Oct. 14. —The following official communica tion was issued by the ministry of marine to-night: "According to complete reports received from the chief commander of the Baltic fleet, our cruisers attacked by German submarine boats on October 10 and 11, sank two of the submarines." The attempt of the Germans to crush the right wing of the allies in the old French province of Picardv continues with little to indicate the course of the battle.

A report from The Hague is that 50,000 Germans have entered Ghent, a laF-ge number of them later leaving for Burges with the purpose of continuing to Ostend. A dispatch from Ostend says that onlv a few Belgian and British remain in Ostend.-indicating that the allied armies have gone east to meet the incoming Germans. The Belgian government has now been reestablished at Havre, France.

The Treasurer's office, which is on the second floor, front, of the Court House, and the hallway just outside had the appearance this morning of the ticket offices at the ball parks during the recent world's series baseball games. The hunters lined up, single file, and waited their turns. A few county justices of the peace, who have power to accept license appli cations, were in the line, But, ltke the hunters, they had to wait their turns. The line extended far out into the hallway. On Monday the County Treasurer employed one additional license clerk and this morning he increased the force by adding another. Even then the work of issuing tags and taking in the '' toadskins "- $ 1 bills went slower than was desired. There is but one species of quail, the Hungarian, for which the season opens to morrow in Pennsylvania. The common type, which is generally re ferred to as partridge, may not be shot or captured before November x, when the rabbit season opens. The deer se-ason, which lasts but fifteen days, will not open until No vember 10. The law prohibits the sale of 'both partridges and wookeock.
