THE WEATHER FAIR TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW Detailed Report* Page 0 §J™ , '/£S ED VOL. 76—NO. 137 PEACE MOVE BY GERMANS IS REPORTED Petrograd Advices Say- That Berlin Has Ap proached Russia With Overtures CZAR'S MEN IN KAISER'S REALM? That Is a Rumor That Comes From Russian Capital—Another Story Is Austrians Are Quitting Western Galicia London, Nov. 11, 10 A. M.——Coiuci flent with the news that every German soldier has been swept from Russian soil comes,a whisper of peace negotia tions in the report from Petrograd that Berlin has approached Russia with overtures looking toward a cessation of hostilities. Contrary to the German report that the Russians had been checked on the frontier of Kast Prussia, Petrograd de clares that a brilliant success in that legion lias been succeeded by an actual invasion of German territory. An equal triumph is reported from the oth er end of the long Russian battle line. (With Cossacks raiding within twenty miles of Cracow, the commandant, of that fortress has ordered the civilian population of the city to leave. Preze mysl is said to be fully invested again and the destruction of this fortress is likely top recede any further advance by the Russian left wing. Petrograd is not wholly satisfied with the scope of the victories reported ngainst the Germans, for the belief pre vails in military circles that if the Rus sian strategy of the Napoleonic area bad been followed further, eveu to the extent of the surrender of Warsaw, the invaders never would have remained in their own country with intact fighting ©ionizations. Other.s feel that polit ical motives quite justified the govern ment in its determination to defend Warsaw. Russian Infantry Effective Contrary top ractice, infantry and not artillery has been the dominant force used by the Russians along their western battle front in pushing the in vaders back across the border. Show ing disregard ol' the German batteries, (superior forces of Russian infantry time after time have advanced and won positions by the use of cold steel. Prom Moscow comes a report that during the fighting near Aerodz, on the river Warthe, the Russians cap tured General Von M-akenge, command er of the Seventeenth German army corps, together with members of his staff. It is reported also that General Von Liedort, who was in command at Lodz when the Germans occupied that city, also has been captured by the Russians. Rome reports come that the Austrian army is abandoning entirely its posi tions in western Galieia and will winter at the foot of the Carpathians, renew ing the war from that base in the spring; but the stubborn defense of Przemysl and tho evident determina tion to defend Cracow hardly confirm this report. Dispatches reaching London from Belgiu mand Holland continue to insist that the Germans are withdrawing many of their troops from their west ern battle front, but the official com munications from the headquarters of the allies do not indicate any diminu tion in the force of the German attack, which is proceeding with its usual fury. The food situation in Belgium is daily becoming more critical. Even Antwerp, which is the best supplied of the Belgian cities, is clamoring for the provisions brought into the country by the American committee. righting South of Dixmude This attack seems to be taking place south of Dixmude. What is de scribed in an official bulletin as "very \iolent fighting" in the North contin ued this morning. Foggy weather of the last few days apparently has clear ed and the Germans are pushing the attack. Nevertheless Paris seems well satisfied with the situation of the al lies and the optimism of the last two weeks continues unabated. REPORT THAT POPE WILL HAKE MOVE FOR PEACE London, Nov. 11, 10.20 A. M. Telegraphing from Copenhagen a cor respondent of the Central News says: "A dispatch received hero "from Cologne affirms that tho Pope shortly will endeavor to initiate negotiations for peace through the medium of a pastoral letter. "The German view on this is that any such action by His Holiness would raise the question of the Pope's tem poral power and force Italy into taking an attitude against the proposal." Crown Prince in Command in East Paris, Nov. 11, 6.15 A. M. —The Pctrograd correspondent of the "Ma tin" telegraphs the following: "It is reported that after a council of war presided over by the Kaiser, the frown Prince was appointed comman der-in-chief of all the German and Au strian armies operating against Kussia, with General Aon Hindenburt com manding the left wing and General Dankl the right." ®t|£ l£for~ liikpttikttl LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY The German war machine has batter ed Its way into the Belgium town of Dixmude. To-day's official French statement contains the admission that the allies were obliged to fall back from this point of vantage in the great bat tle for possession of the eastern shore of the British channel. As an offset the French war office states that the allies' forces have advanced along the North sea coast, pushing back the Germans and taking Lombaertzyde, a small Bel gian town a few miles northeast of Nieuport. The warring nations awaited with keen suspense the outcome of the strug gle in Belgium, which for the moment overshadows the conflicts on the many other fields of battle. Frdm neither point came reports of important changes in the situation. The capture of Dixmude was the first indication that the new attack of the Germans, described as their supreme ef fort and as probably marking a turning point in the war, had brought definite results. Between Dixmude and Ypres, which lies to the south close to the French border, the fighting has been most intense, since the Germans elected at the opening of the week to begin the new onslaught with the help of their reinforcements of fresh troops and new artillery. On October 1.%, during the advance on Ostend, the Germans occupied Dix mude, but later were compelled to fall back. The allies gained possession of the town temporarily, but their presence there was challenged repeatedly by the Germans, resulting in some of the most important and sanguinary fighting of the war. Whether the Germany victory will exert an important influence on the outcome is not as yet disclosed. Along the remainder of the battle line, says the French war office, there is no change, except for slight progress by the allies at a few point 6. Tho Ber lin view of the situation, however, ia optimistic. Comment is made there of the use of expression "good advances" in the latest official German reports con cerning the lighting in the West, being the first occasion on which such terms have been employed in this connection. Paris also is hopeful as to the out come in Belgium. Military critics there take the view that the Germans aro faced with the imperative necessity of defeating the allies, in order that they may turn their attention to the menac ing armies of Russia. The German Crown Prince is report ed to have been placed in supreme com mand of the German and Austrian forces in the East. Petrograd contradicts the German claim to an important victory along the northern border, asserting that a brilliant success has been won there and that the Russians have begun an in vasion of East Prussia. On the southern end of the line Cos sacks are approaching Cracow, while the investment of Przemysl, from which th« Russians were swept back several weeks ago, is said to have been com pleted for a second time. There were further Indications to day that the Turks were offering de termined resistance to the Russian ad vance. An official Turkish statement laid claim to much success in opera itons in the Caucasus as well as on the Egyptian frontier.

Crifcbfield, Secretary of Agriculture, made it known publicly! to-day that he will not be an aspirant for his present position under Govern or Brumbaugh, as he considers that he has served in public position long enough and it is now time for him to take a rest. "I expect to retire when Dr. Brum baugh takes the office of Governor,' ? said Secretary Critclifield to-day, solely for the reason that I think it necessary for me to seek the rest that belongs to men of my age. Tho work here has been pleasant, the associations very pleasant, and I am sure they would continue so under Governor Brumbaugh. If I were a younger man I would take my chances on an ap pointment." Secretary Critcbfield is fast his 76th year. Me was born in Somerset county in 1838 and when the Civil war broke out he was engaged in teaching school. He enlisted in a Pennsylvania regiment and served un til the close of the war when he re turned home, taught a while and then took up farming, in which occupation he was successful for many years. He served two terms in the State Senate from the Somerset-Bedford dis trict and in 1903 was appointed Sec retary of Agriculture by Governor Pennypaekcr, being reappointed by Governors Stuart and Tenor. Although long past the three score and ten years allotted to man by the Psalmist, Secretary Critchfield is vig orous and has the sprightly step of a man much younger. He will retire to his Somerset county farm to spend the evening of his life. HARRISBURG, PA., WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1914—12 PAGES WAITING FOR ZEE ZEE CO.

Some purchasers here paid as high us $12.50 a share for this stock, which can be purchased now at a much lower figure. At the same time some of the stock buyers were induced to purchase auto tires at figures which, it is said, were made lower to stockholders than to per sons who were not stockholders. Many of the local stockholders are seeking now to learn whether the Zee Zee Tire & Rubber Company is actually manu facturing the tires; whether the com pany has been operating a profitable business, and whether a dividend will be paid by the company and if so, when. Some of the stockholders are inclined to wonder whether they are going to lose through the investment, especial ly since they have heard a report that stoek in the company can now be bought at JI a shore or $11.50 lower than was paid by local buyers when the Philadelphians were here a year or more ago. * Horting & Mingle, proprietors of the I Dauphin Hotel, this city, stockholders j and purchasers of tires, to- lay de | dared that the Zee Zee Tire & Rubber j Company has refused to comply with a j guarantee "to replace all tires that blow out before covering 3,500 miles."

The French forces were successful in maintaining their front. The text follows "On our left wing the fighting was resumed yetserday morning between Nieuport and Lys with a very gr#at de gree of severity. Generally speaking our front was maintained, in spite of the violence and the strength of the German attacks directed against cer tain of our points of support. '' To the north of Xieuport we were even alble to reoccupy Lombaertzede j and advance beyond this town, but to wahd the end of the day the Ger mans succeeded in taking possession of Dixmude. We still hold our positions on the approaches to this town, along the eanal from Nieuport to Ypres, which has been firmly occupied. The fighting was very hot at these places. "The British troops, attacked also at several points, succeeded everywhere in !rto)>ping the enemy. "On t'he rest of the (front the gen eral situation shows no change with the exception of slight progress 'by our forces to the north of Soinsons and in the region to the west of Vailley on the right 'ban'k of the Aisne. Outside of these two points the state of the weather permitted only minor engage ments, which resulted r- • -.cessfully for us.

TRYTOREACHENTOHIBED MEN Bescuing Force Hopes to Dig Through Debris to Imprisoned Miners Be fore Evening (.Special to the Star-Indej>eiident.) Tower City, Nov. 11. —William O. Shriner and William Evans, Tower City miners, have been entombed alive in the Beading Company's West Brookside mine for two days, and thus far a res cuing force has vainly worked to re store them to liberty. It is not known whether they are still alive or not. The men were inclosed in a living grave by a fall of top rock from the roof. Hundreds of tons fell, cutting Shriner and Evans off from their fel low-miners. The prisoners ar e in the East No. 4 run, aud between them and their tire less and anxious rescuers is a great wall of debris caused by the slipping of a pillar of coal. The rescuers hoj>e to penetrate the wall late this afternoon. Experts are heading the rescue force, which strenously works in short re lays, and the suspense of the large fam ilies of the entombed men, the elder ones of whom refuse to leave the scene of disaster, is pitiable. They know the terrible danger not only of new cave-ins, but of the air in the close confines of the mining tomb becoming deadly in its gases. The accident calls to mind vividly to the people of Tower City the series of explosions at that place only recently, when a score of miners lost their lives and others were injured. At that time a number of the officials met death with the rescuing parties which went into the mine. — MRS. MUTZABAUGH INJURED Woman Returns to Hospital After Two Weeks at Home Mrs. Minnie Mutzabaugh, who h:is been out of the Harrisburg hospital only since October 21, returned there this morning with injuries received in a fall down a flight of steps at her home.

Carranai promises not to reimpose customs duties collected by American officials during the occupation and to protect natives who have served Briga dier General Puns ton, probalbly will be accepted as sufficient.

However, Ib Not Prepared to Commit Himself Just Now—Forrer to Seek a City Commisßionership Two former Mayors of Harrisburg, both Republicans, it was learned posi tively to-day, will oppose each other for the nomination in 1915 to be can didates to succeed the present Mayor, John K. Royal, Democrat. Edward Z. Gross and Dr. Ezra S.

The election will tako place next November, and in the meantime candidates will be very busy building fences to secure the nomination. Uegarding 'Mayor Royal, his friends hold he can succeed himself under the new third class city law. When he was asked this morning regarding whether he intends being a candidate, he said he ''did not know." He said lite would rather not discuss the subject at present. Up to t :» >e of the third class city law tn o r o f such a cjtv could not succee mself iu office, that b ing specifically rohibited, for the reason, as it was aigued by those who had such prohibition incorporated into a law that a mayor in office who could succeed himself would have the mcari to build up i powerful political taa chiDe. At the meeting of third class city solicitors held here a few weeks ago it was the unanimous opinion of all that there is no provision in the new law forbidding the mayor to succeed him self. It was pointed out, moreover, that, as the mayor acts in conjunction with the city commission, he is shorn of the power to make appointments and thereby build up a political machint. Mayor Royai may declare his position later. In the meantime both Dr. Meals and Mr. Gross ait avowed candidates for the Republican nomination for Mayor. That the former is a candidate has been known for some time, for he has repeatedly made it known in public thait he will again endeavor to obtaiu a nomination and election in 1915.
