German Warships Becoming Active London, Nov. 13, 7.45 A. M. —A dis patch from Copenhagen to the "Times" eays: "Military experts here attach importance to the news that great and unusual activity prevails among the German warships and auxiliaries in Kiel canal.'* 'LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY Conflicting reports came to-day from the opposing sides on the main Euro pean battlefields. From the German mili tary headquarters came official an nouncement of important successes. The French War Office said that the battle in Belgium was becoming less violent, and that the German advance had made no further progress. The Berlin official statement refajs to heavy fighting on the Belgian sea coast near Nieuport. where, it is said. German marines have inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. At Ypres, to the south near the French border, claim is made to another German victory with the capture of prisoners! Severe French attacks at other points along the battle line are reported. Nothing of this character is hinted at in the statement of the French War Office, in which it is said that the Ger man attacks near Ypres and elsewhere have been repulsed, and that the allies have advanced in a few localities. What the war is costing in human life, as well as in men wounded or held prisoners, can only be surmised. Occa sionally. however, bits of autheutic in formation are obtainable from which may be gathered a vague idea of what it all means. Premier Asquith, for ex ample, said to-day in the House of Com mons that the British casualties up to October it I were approximately 57.- IHH>. Lord Kitchener stated recently that England had sent men to the front. In other words one English man out of every six engaged in the war. roughly speaking, is dead, or has been wounded or taken prisoner. The loss of life among the British nobility has been heavy. The death of Lord Charles Gordon Lennox was announced to-day. In Ber lin the obituaries of four university pro fessors have iust been printed. Vienna reports that NO.OOO prisoners of war are now held in the Austrian concen tration canips. Particular interest was attached to to-day's French announcement for the reason that the battle in Belgium was considered by both sides as probably marking a definite turn in the general course of the war. The French statement asserted that several attempts of Germans to cross the Yser canal, around which has oc curred some of the most deadly strug gles of the war, were checked. These attempted advances were made at the western outlet from Dixmude, which the Germans wrested from the allies a few days ago, and the way along which the Germans sought to push their forces ionilnurd on M\th Page.

He fell uior« than twenty hve feet, striking a baustrade, which broke his fall and threw the body to the tirst tloor instead of the basement. Much excitement attended his attempt to commit suicide. Staff physicians believed his back was broken and little hope was enter tained for his recovery. He, however, later seemed to be aole to use his arms and it is possible that he suffered onlv a severe sprain. Brown was admitted to the hospital October 31 as a uervous patient and, although suftering from hallucinations at times, he \\a.s Harmless ami was per mitted to be up around in his ward, which is in the second floor of the building.

He tnade au unexpected dash from the ward, ran across the hallway, chiubed to the banisters and dropped off. He fell outward striking a ballus trade. naif way between the tirst and second iloors which cheeked the fall and turned his body so that he landed on the tirst door. Otherwise he would have tail en into fix hasAneni, a floor below. Other patients saw his dash for the stairway and yelled for him to atop but he did not heel their cries. In au instant hospital attaches had him in the dispensary for treatment. It seemed that he struck his back in falliug. A special committee to inquiry into Brown s inem-ai condition was ap pointed by the Dauphin countv court on Wednesday and he was examined yesterday, resulting in an order being ma le directing that he be sent to the Lunatic Hospital for treatment. The unfortunate nun's wife before her marriage was Miss Zella Hensel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Hen sel. of Lykens, the former a clothing merchant. Brown's failing mental condition nay noticed tirst in September last. For some years he had been a clerk in the Hensel store.

Aldinger Says He Alone Is Owner of the Parcel at Walnut and Raver Streets—Willing, However, to Sell If Street Car Company Wants It Real estate men to-day were talking about the deal in which F. H. Aldinger, proprietor of the Fla.'.a hotel, took over the Oyster property at Walnut and River streets, and discussing whether the Valley Railways Company is inter ested in the transaction with the idea of making the Oyster property the terminus of its 'cross ri \\ trolley lines. Mr. Aldinger was asked iiis morning if suoh a plan is back of his taking over the property in exchange for eight other properties. He said: "I went into the deal alono and took over tho property merely as an invest ment. 1 have no plans for the future in regard to it except that the present leases have a year and a half to mil and I will allow them to empire. I un derstand the present plan of the Valley Railways Company is to use Market street. However, if their plans are changed and they find that my building is a logical terminus I will be willing to sell. No person has talked to me on the subject." The Valley Railways Company has under consideration a plan to use Mar ket street, from to Front streets, for an extension of its tracks, and iu this connection there has been a report that the company sought to obtain the Hoard of Trade building. There has been some opposition raised, however, to the city granting trackage privileges to the company on Market street-, be tween Front and -Second, and in case of the city refusing to grant such priv ilege the Valley railways would likely seek a terminus elsewhere, possibly the site of the building Mr. Aldinger na* just acquired. Thus far the movement to extern! the tracks of the Valley Railways Company it|> Market street, from the square to Front street, has gotteu no further than the approval by the Public Service Com mission of the company's applieatiou for the extension of itall and the Federal League have progressed satisfactorily, but are by no means completocl," said Chairman Au gust Herrmann, of the National Baseball i onunission, on his arrival here to-day from Omaha and Chicago. "(Ma-. Charles Weeghman will come to Cincinnati next week to consult with Mr. Charles P. Taft over the prospective pur.-huso of the Chicago National League club. I believe the question of the sale of the Chicago Nationals to Mr. Weeghuian will be settled one way or tihe other at this meeting and I have high hopes that following this peace in baseball will come. This latter, however, is by no means certain but we are hoping for great things and they seem probable. "The minor leagues showed loyalty an 1 gameness in their meeting at Omaha. They will have to look out keenly for their iuterests and for the cash ledger next season even with all the help we can give them for they are. many of them, in bad condition. I didn't really know how badly off some of the little fellows were till I had the chance to talk and figure out the losses with them. They are good, plucky sports: they should be assisted and en couraged in every possible way and with peace in baseball they'll have a good chance to win out next season.''
