Town Dry Another Year
Carlisle. Oct. 19.—1n accord with 1
with an opinion filed by .Tudge W. P.
Sadler, of the Cumberland county
Court, a vote on the liquor question in
Shippensburg will not be necessary this j
November, but will come up for action
of the voters at the November election I
next year.
The special act of assembly which
gives Shippensburg voters the right to
decide whether or not liquor licenses
shall be granted in the borough, pro
vided for an electiftn every three years
and as the last vote on the question i
was taken in 1911 when the "drvs"|
won. the three year period would end
this November, but the more recent j
act of assembly providing for munici- '
pal elections on odd numbered years
makes necessary the extention of the
time to November, 1915, the last act j
taking precedence in the matter, so
that the decision of three years ago
stands for another year.

GERMAN FACTORY RAIDED BY
THE MILITARY IN EDINBURGH
Edinburgh, Oct. 19.—-A large fac
tory owned by Germans was raided by
the military in Edinburgh Saturday
night.
The building, erected ten years ago.
is of imposing appearance, covers a
large areu and is three stories high. Al
though capable of accommodating 500
hands, never more than six workmen,
all Germans, were seen about the place.
According to information supplied
by the builders. $150,000 was spent on
magnificent concrete foundations, the
proprietor explaining that exceedingly
heavy machinery would be required for
the factory. The machinery never ar
rived, the faitory never started aud no
workers came, but the situation domi
nates Edinburgh and the prepared po
sition, jutting on the sea, would enable
big guns to nit the Forth bridge.
SAVED IS FROM THE HAWKE,
TORPEDOED BY A SUBMARINE
London, Oct. 19.—The steamship
Modesta. which picked up 4 8 survivors
of the British cruiser Hawke, sunk in
the North sea Thursday by a Germau
submarine, arrived in Christiana Satur
day night. The '.Modesta picked up tho
survivors from a small boat live hours
after the disaster and transferred them
to an English trawler eff the Scottish
coast.
The crew of the Modesta declared
that a German submarine appeared for
a moment off the steamer's bow while
the Kuglish sailors were beiug taken
aboard. The Modesta's crew saw noth
ing of the catastrophe. T'nev cruised
in the neighborhood for an hour, but
saxv no more survivors.
NO ACTION B\ I . IS. SENATE ON
SEARCH OF STEAMER METAPAN
Washington, D. C., Oct. 19. Official
protest on the stoppage and search of
the American steamer Metapan by the
French cruiser Conde, which xvas made
the subject of criticism by Senators
Thomas and Stone in the Senate, iias
not been reported to the State Depart
ment. In the absence of protest the
department will not pass upon the
rights of such searching. Unofficially
i* is stated in the department that
Dutch and Swedish vessels have been
boarded by British warships and Ger
man subjects taken off and impris
oned, and thus far no successful .pro
tests against such actions have been
reported. Protest, if tiled, officials de
clare, should come from the owners of
the seized ships, in this case the United
Pruit Company.
The fact that no piotest has been
made is taken by olhcials to indicate
; that tho company whep it recently
I laced its Heet of ships under American
i registry expected some annoyance, and
is not disposed to raise an international
issue over the searching of the Meta
I. pan.

Odessa, Oct. 19.—The batt.es in Ga

cover the battlefields, the wolves are
out in g eat packs, and even pursue the
victors, whose boots and clothes are

to be fired into the pack to disperse
the intruders.

Kaiser's Troops Operating Along the
Coast of Flanders in Danger of Be
ing Cut Off From the Main Body
of the Army
London, Oct. 19, 10.30 A. M.—Prom
I'he fcin't of view of the allied armies,
so far as could be learned from dis
patches reaching'ljondon to-day, the sit
uation in West 'Flanders and in Prapee
as far south as Lille, seemed on tihis,
the seventy-seventh day of the war,
perhaps more Ihopeful than at- any time
since the German advance on Paris was
checked.
Though the news reaching England
is meager and to an extent delayed as
always, all tidings seem to indicate that
Uhe German advance from Ostonil on the
French coast towns has 'been blocked
temporarily at. least, xvhile further south
in a region that was a week ago the
extreme German right, the invaders
'have been again compelled to give
•ground >before the allies' wedge force
which has been concentrating on Lille.
Beports Not Confirmed
Several reports contend that the Ger
mans .have withdrawn from this towu,
•but this is not confirmed, nor is the re
fort t'hat thev evacuated C-ourtrai, near
: ly thirty iniles northxveat. It seems
i plain, however, that the menace here
grew marked and that the German army
operating along the coast of Flanders
found itself in peril of being ■cut off
from the main body.
What opposition they met aloug the
sea is only guesswork, for it has never
been disclosed in Great Britain what
forces the allies have or at v/hat point
they touch the coast.
All reports seem to agree that the
city of Ostend is practically clear of
'Germans xvlio apparently are reforming
to 'the south with reinforcements and
tiie siege gnns used to batter the Bel
gian forts and that they now promise
to hammer on toward Dunkirk and
Calais. One report says that they are
beyond Kurnes, less-than ton miles from
Dunkirk.
Garmans Bombardiug Lille
In Prance reinforcements from Brus
sels are said to have been brought up
before Lille which the Germans are re
ported as bombarding in a desperate at
tempt to retake the place.
The Belgiaus themselves have been
, utting in some hard knacks. According
to last night's Paris official communica
tion they have held the Germans in an
attempt to cross the river Vser. south
west of Dixmuile, Belgium. This was
the first heard of the R«igian fdi'ces
since the evacuation of Antwerp and
noxv they are found appropriately and
picturesquely defending that little
splotch of their own country that the
invaders have not taken. King Albert,
unheard of for some time, is said to
have cheered t'ae men in the fieid.
Some of tiie London papers describe
the German evacuation of Ostend as a
retirement to the east on the theory
that the allies' progress to the south
threatened to isolate the Ostend garri
sou, making a retreat imperative. The
dispatches are far from unanimous on
the direction of the retirement 'however,
most of them describing as a passage to
t'he west and any attempt'therefore to
analyze it is 'but conjectural.
Heavy Firing at Dunkirk
From various sources come reports,
none of which were confirmed, that some
sort of naval craft are being -pressed
into use by the- allies in the canals of
Flanders and perhaps from the sea.
Sunday a dispatch direct from Dunkirk
said til at heavy firing could be 'heard
there and it was believe I that gjn
•boats were being used in the canals, ft
was added that heavy 'fighting was pro
gressing south of (Istend, whk-lh, if
true, meant the presence of allied forces
at a point further north than hereto
fore suspected. This is contradicted by
the rnorr that uie Germans are west
of Fumes.
There was sporadic recurrences of
the anti-German rioting in parts of
'Vondon early this morning. Police pro
tection in such places has been increased
and no serious outbreaks during the
forenoon in the city 'but at Saffron-
Wialdon. in Kssex, an English lawyer's
Ihouse was attacked and the windows
smashed because it was said he had
been harboring two Germans. In the
vontinuation of the rioting at Depford
last nig'ht' a German grain dealer's
house and store were wrecked and then
fired.
The Great Battle of Poland
In the eastren war area the great bat
tle of Poland appears to be progress
ing in favor of the Russians who claim
to have checked decisively the German
farces in their attempt to cross the Vis
tula. "Phe Russians in and around War
saw are being temporarily protected
from fresh German artillery aggression
•by reason of the impassable condition
of the country through recent rains and
owing to the destruction of the only
railroad from lyjwicr. to Warsaw.
Around Przemysl ti'ne Austrian* claim
to have killed and wounded 40.000 Rus
sians and aiso to have crossed the Car
pathians. but on tine other hand the
Russians re'uised an Austrian attempt
to cross the riveT San. That the Aus
trians are meeting witlh. vigorous oppo
sition is adm it-ted in the la t eat Vienna
dispatch which says that, "rtur troops
are advancing as a fortress."
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third person
' is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science h&s shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harinfuldrugs. Try it.

CERIHAN SHOPS BURNED IN
FIERCE LONDON WAR RIOTS
tiondon, Oct. 19.—Serious anti-Ger
man rioting occurred yesterday in '
High street, Deptford borough of Lon
don. Shops conducted by Germans
were wrecked by crowds and one shop '
was set afire. The police were called
out to restore order. |
Twenty shops were wrecked. Dam- '
;\ge was also done in the Old Kent. 1
load, where meat markets were smashed j <
late Saturday night and a confectionery '
store wrecked early yesterday morning. 1
Some of the shops wore pillaged. Po- \
lice were called out and 20 arrests
wpre made. Precautions have been ta- j
ken to further rioting.
Great excitement prevailed through- j
out Sunday in Deptford and neighbor- I
ing borough. Crowds thronged the j
streets and refused to move at the or-1
ilers of policemen and soldiers. It was j
found yesterday that twenty bakeries, |
butcher shops and saloons were com- j
pletely wrecked. The rioters threatened j
to attack German places in Bromley
and other boroughs if the authorities;
permitted them to open.
The rioting was led by 100 dock la
borers, who had been turned out of a
lodging house to make room for Bel
gian refugees. The men gathered in a
German saloon .and smashed the win- j
dows and the bar. The dockers!
charged the owner of the saloon with
having started a report that two Brit |
ish battleships had been destroyed. i
The shop of a German butcher, in the !
window of which a picture of Emperor :
William was displayed, was wrecked.
The rioting proceeded for a distance
of a mile before it whs stopped by a!'
detachment of soldiers. The shopkeep- !
ers all lived above their places of |
business, and their apartments were 1
sacked. Twenty m?n were captured in
one house. They had* thrown a piano
down the stairway, and the instrument:
became jammed and held them prison
ers.

BRITISH LOSS 14.000 IN 2
OFFICIAL CASUALTY LISTS
'London, Oct. 19.—An official report
by General French, commanding the!
British expeditionary force, gives the j
total of British killed, wounded and I
missing from September 1 2 to October
8 ns 561 officers anil 12,980 men.
The War Office issued last night an
other casualty list received from head
quarters, under date of September 16.;
giving 51 non-commissioned officers,
and men as having been killed, 149 1
men wounded and 565 men missing.
Those of the killed belonged entirely

of Saturday was the arrival at Folke- i
stone of the body of Major General IHII j
bert I. W. Hamilton. Two hundred i
recruits of Kitchener's army met the |
body outside the harbor station and j
stood at attention while the hearse
passed. The refugees uncovered their j
heads and the emotional Belgian sol- I

I This was revealed in a letter from a

The Paris Military Expert Says thb
Now Battle, That of Flanders, Is
Clearly Offensive on the Side of the
Allies
Pads, Oct. 19, 6.45 A. M.—An un
interrupted offensive movement by the
allies at certain points in northern
France was predicted here to-day as the
j battle was resumed. The retaking of
Armentiers, on the river Lys on the
Belgian frontier, and the occupation
. ten miles west of Lille of the right line
1 leading towards Douax via Givanchv
i and Fromelles was considered as con
stituting an excellent advance guard
t position *bv reason of its numerous
j places of support. This, with the prog
gress in several other sections, notably
I Arras, gave the allies hope of'contin
' uance of their advance.
Expert Reviews Situation
j Lieutenant t'olonel Housset, in re-
I viewing the situation, refused to enn
| cur in the statement made that the hut
tie of the Aisne has hoen definitely won
i by the allies.
i "One never knows what will hap
'pen, - ' he said. "and. while the enemy
; will not take the return route, a revival
i of its activity can be produced in an
other vicinity, especially if the Ger
mans see that their maneuver in the
north is endangered. But it is certain
that upon the horizontal line, going
from the Oise to the Mouse, the allies
have nothing to fear, as every effort of
the Germans from this side would cer
tainly be stopped.
New Battle of Flanders
"As to the new battle, that of Flan
ders, it is clearly offensive on the sidn
of the allies. The circumstance which
: in some quarters it is said may develop
j of more favora'ble for attack than de
j Tense it is undulating land widely
j spaced, where troops can easily defile
for aggressive movements."
The Socialists of France have de
j dared as inopportune and premature
| the suggestions made that their coin
i rades in the United States hold an in
i teruational Socialist peace congress.
The public was greatly pleased that
j Sunday passed without a visit, from Ger
man aeroplanes and to-day it had much
praise for the activity and vigilance of
the aviation guard.
