"The rout of a Russian battalion
33 miles northeast of Kalizna in Rus
sian Poland by a detachment of Ger

portant movement of Russian troops
and taking place in Bessarabia and

"At the war council where the
plans were laid down, distinguished
councillors argued in favor of allowing
the Germans to cross the Vistula even
if Warsaw had to be abandoned, stat
ing that not one German would then
succeed in returning.
"Prom a military point of view
their contention was justified, but they
were overruled by political arguments
and it was decided Warsaw was not to
be sacrificed.
"The surprising arrival of heavy
Siberian reinforcements at Warsaw iii
the nick of time was part of the
strategic scheme, the object being to
catch tug Germans unawares. Ger
many - finest forces were there, among
them royal princes who brought gala
uniforms to celebrate the capture of
Warsaw at a ball to which invitations

] thiit the hotel men were induced to a
j share of the stock.
Bought Stock for $12.50
The stock certificate bears No. 3208,
j is printed in black ink and has a gold
1 sunburst for a background. The in
corporation soal, issued in Delaware in
1912. also is in gold. At "the bottom of
the certificate is this:
"Shares $lO each."
Mr. F. O. Horting said this morning
that ho paid $12.50 for a share on
December 26, 1913, one year after the
concern was chartered.
"Three fellows selling this stock,"
said Mr. Horting, pointing to his gilded
: certificate, "came to the hotel about
a year ago anil remained here live
weeks. We bought that stock on the
representation that the company was
doing a good business and that a divi
dend would certainly be paid within
six months or a year. We have heard
nothing about any dividend.
"Five weeks after those fellows left
here a big fellow dropped in, explain
ed that he had learned that. I was a
stockholder and offered me 500 shares
of this same stock at a 'sacrifice' to
, himself. He went on to say that the
stock was given to him as collateral
security for a note and added that al
! though he knew the stock was very
valuable and selling at $2.50 above
i par. he would be willing to sell it at
$8 a share. We did not take his
stock.
"It was further represented to us
that this company was equipped to
manufacture and ' sell tires for less
j than the market value of standard
j tires, and we bought four. That deal
was made under the guarantee that if
any or all of the tires blew out before
covering 3,500 miles they would be
! replaced.
"I don't think wo had gone more
than 1,200 miles until one of the tires
blew out. It was a b»4 break, and I
! wrote to the alleged Philadelphia of
fice of the firm. Thirty-third and Wal
nut streets, demanding a new tire. I
was told that the tire evidently had
struck a rock. I was told that the tire
I would not be replaced and as I had
already shipped the bad one to Phila
delphia. I asked to have it returned.
I never a*ain saw the tire.*
Stock Offered at $1 a Share
Mr. Horting said he first exhibited ,
the damaged tire to local dealers and 1
all declared that it was manufactured :
from "bad and rotten" material. The'
original local representative of the
Zee Zee company long since has given
up the agency. To-day he said;
"I don't care to have my name:
mentioned in connection with that i
matter. My business will not per I
mit it. I quit the company's employ
a< soon a< I learned that there was I
! dissatisfaction among customers."
One of the Harrisburg stockholders !
this morning said he has learned, since
iiis stock purchase of a New Jersey
firm that manufactures cheap tires
"bearing any name or brand'" the
agent desires.
Mr. Horting said he once thought!
ot '' calling on the Philadelphia repre

j visit to the Quaker City, although he J
changed mind when he arrived in i

withdraw the American forces. especi
ally in view of the fait that a conflict
of ilia aml Carranza troops in that
vicinity might raise further embarrass
ing ami delicate questions for the
United States.
The American troops will be with
drawn on the ground that Agulaeoientes'
convention ordered Carranza to iss.ie
the decree whi *li he has uoiv proclaimed
and all factious are agreed to support
the conditions set forth by the United
States as a prerequisite to evacuation.
The impression prevails in manv
quarters that Ihe United states wiil
await the determination of who is the
executive of Mexico—General Carranza
or Oe-neral Gutierrez—ilx>fore delivering
the funds.
Washington, Xov. 11.— Administra
tion officials eagerly awaited news to
day of the sequel to the expiration of
the Aguascalientes ultimatum which
ordered General Carrauzj to surrender
executive power 111 Mexico to Kulalio
Gutierrez. The ultimatum expired last
night and while official news was lack
ing Mexico City dispatches said it was
reported \ ilia's advance guard was
mar-hing southward on its wav to the
capital.
If fighting occurred it was the first
clash between those troops and the
army of General Pablo Gonzales, who
is loyal to Carranza, and probably
rook place at Queretaro. Carranza, the
dispatches added, had deposed generals
commanding 50.000 men because they
rofused to nullify their agreement to
abMe by the Aguascalientes decision.

Mexico City, Nov. 11.—tieneral
Venustiano Carranza has granted al!

crnment regarding the evacuation of
Very Cruz by the American troops, ac-1
cording to a telegram received last'
night from Foreigu Minister Eables.
Every guarantee asked by Washing
ton for the Mexicans now in Vera
Cruz will be given in a public decree
to be issued shortly. In return for'
those concessions the Carranza govern
ment has asked the United States to
fix a definite date for the evacuation.]
The reply of Washington is await

Brother Yates, 1 wish you'd find out
who that co-oporating minister is and
tell him to get out. 1 don't want any
such co-operating ministers.
"I never knock a preacher, under
stand, who disagrees with me, but I'm
going after the ones who start a fight
with me. Any two by four peanut
preacher who starts anything with me
will be sorry. Such a minister has in
sulted everybody who attends these
meetings. You have a right to disagrer
with me, you preacher#, but when you
tight against me you oppose the great
campaign of God iu Harrisburg. A
preacher like that is of no account anv
wav. I'm sorry I wasted so much
breath on him.''
"Here is a letter contributed to the
Star-Independent by an attorney,"
on the evangelist producing a clip
ping. "which accuses me of saving that
every parent should go homo and lick
his innocent child. 1 never said vou
should beat innocent children. That*at
torney didn t get enough lickings when
lie was a kid."
But One Church for Dance
"I am speaking to-night," said the
e\augelist in beginning his sermon,
on the text. 'Neither be partakers
of other people's sins.' I want to sug
gest various ways in which it is en
tirely possible for you people here to
be partakers of other people's sins.
"'lt is a hard thing to-day to get
Christian people to come out fairly and
squarely against the things opposed by
their church laws. They won't come
out against the dance, for one thing,
and I'll have more to say about that
later. Yet, I tell you, there isn't a
Protestant evangelical church, or the
Catholic church either, for that matter,
that hasn t. placed some time or other
a law ir, their books of discipline
against dancing. That all happened
long before the bunny hug, the grizzly
bear and the hesitation came along.
There is only one church that hasn't
anything to say against dancing, and
that's the Mormon Church. Vet it is
hard to get preachers to come out
squarely against the dance.
"In tin 'Presbyterian Digest." for
instance. I read in black and white
passages against the dance. 11' there is
any elnirch that has come out more
strongly and more ponderously against
the dance than the Presbyterian I'd
like to see it. Yet you have a lot of
Presbyteria.i ministers who dare
not assert themselves."
Applause Not Great
After this violent attack the preach
er paused for •breath and one or two
persons applauded his efforts. He
turned sharply and said:
"Oh, 1 tell you. the enthusiasm is
something tremendous right at this
point. 1 knew I'd alight on some of
vour bunions.
"These high schools are doing a lot
of harm with their little theatricals.
Every girl at a certaiu age gets stag©
struck and then she begins going
around with a languid look and throws
herself about like a sick calf. A high
school principal who once encouraged
a young girl to go on the stage will
have to share part of her soul's re
sponsibility.
Tabernacle in "Bloody Eighth"
"Vou partake of the sins of others
also by silent approval. Y'ou good
people diSn't know perhaps that this
part of the city where the tabernacle
now stands, was once a veritable plague
spot, that more souls went to hell here
perhaps than in any other section of
your city. Perhaps you didn't know
that this was the 'bloody eighth.'
You've beeii living out on Allison Hill
or along the banks of the dreamy Sus
quehanna. But if you don't know what
has been going on here you ought to
know it.
"In spite of the splendid efforts of
your chief of police, there are still
places of wickedness open in this city
where persons can enter who know how.
He says he will close them, and 1 be
lieve he will. 1 believe that you have
a cleaner city now than ever before.
There is no reason why vice should ex
ist here. What is the church here for,
what are you here fort If every preach
er and church member did his duty
there is not a place of crime in .this
city that could not be forever closed.
Text Pastors Do Not Use
"Vou have heard preachers tell the
j children. 'Children, obey your parents.'
! I believe that is a good thing. But
| have you ever heard a minister preach
on the theme, 'Fathers, provoke not
! your children to wrathf I tell you
1 both these passages are in the Bible,

Daddies need preaching to as much as
the kids, and mammies too for that
matter. Many little children will go

scarred by their parents.

INSTITUTE SPEAKER HAS
PRAISE FOR TECH BOYS
Dr. Albert Tells County Teachers' Stu
dents In Local School Are Well
Trained—Pleads for Basoball on
School Grounds
Dr. Albert this morning iu his talk
before the Dauphin County Teachers'
Institute praised the faculty of the
Technical High school for the method
they use in governing their students.
"The student body of Tech,'' he
said, "is lively and full of life and
'♦■k* ¥ , 8al "e time is obedient and
this I think is what goes the farthest
tow-aril making a model school."
During this lecture he also said that
some teachers will not permit their
.pupils to play ball on the school
grounds during the recess period, and
this he termed a jiositive crime, assert
ing that there is nothing like a lively
game to build up the proper kind of
character in a bo v.
Dr. Barbour's subjoin was "How to
Teach Short Poems." Me spoke on the
emotional side o~f- literature and said
that no teacher can teach poetry unless
'he can "feel" it and "live" it. If the
teacher cannot do this, he said, he pos
itively cannot teach poetrv.
An interesting talk on "The Value
of the Story'' was given by LMiss John
son. she spoke very strongly on the
subject, saying that no school can prop
erly educate the children if t'lis branch
of the work is not attended to. that
children should be told stories from the
time they enter school until tl»ev gradu
ate trom High school, for it will create
in them a desire to know more and that
it will teai'h them to concentrate their
minds while they are young wk*jh will
be a great heli> to them through life.
The children should also be taught to
repeat the stories at home, she said,
thus not only increasing their vocabu
lary, but taking literature into some
homes which it would otherwise never
enter.
" The imaginative anil emotional na
tures of children," lie said, "should not
be neglected but should be developed to
their full extent, for nothing is of so
much benefit to a Child as a well de
veloped imagination. If'teachers follow
my instruction they will be a benefit
to mankind, as also the means of de
veloping a nation of men of high char
acter.
The Res. Harry Nelson Bassler, pas
tor of the Second Reformed church, con
ducted the devqtional exercises at this
morning's session. The musk' was in
charge of Prof. Harelerode, who con
ducts the music during the entire week.

talk before the institute this afternoon
his subject being, "Corn." Prof. Albert
gave another talk this afternoon, using
as his subject "A Type Lesson in Con
