EXPECT FAST AND FURIOUS
FIGHTING IN EASTERN AND
WESTERN AREAS OF WAR
London, Nov. 16, 1.55 P. M.—Fast
and furious lighting both in the east
ern uutl tne western areas of the war
is expected bv Knglish military observ
ers ;o make this coming week memor
able event iu a war, each week o:'
which has witnessed carnage equal to
that of the great battles of history.
And at the same time.hints from the
iront encourage them to expect that
the week also will see the liermau
tide through Flanders toward the coast
towns of Dunkirk and Calais begin to
ebb.
The note sounded by the French of
lic.al anno meemeuts or yesterday u
dicating that Vpres, Armeutieres,
Arras and other inland gates to the
sea coast, remain so far impregnable
barriers to aU the Herman assaults, is
<toubtle?s responsible for this opt'sin
jsnt. While the vigor of the Teutonic
offensive may have slackened there is
at the present moment little if any in
dication of a resolve on the part of
the German commanders to abandon
the plans which already have cost
them so dearly. At least one more com
prehensive attempt to break through
the allies' lines therefore, is expected
before the next phase of the operations
opens. This phase, it is thought in
lxmdon. granted that the German ad
vance is not continued, will be the
siege of the trenches carefully prepar
ed by the Germans in the rear of their
present lines.
The forecasts of these strategists
point out that the allies are under no
compulsion to force the issue at the
present stage, although they contend
this could be done if the allies were
prepared to pay the price in men. They
consequently anticipate a development
of holding tactics with the'view of
keeping the German armies in the east
ern areas busy while the Russian
masses, a thousand miles to the east
ward are moving forward to the strug
gle for the possession of Silesia. Posen
and East Prussia.
These calculations, of course, pre
suppose the continued futility of the
German attack on the French coast
and they are made without any knowl
edge of the plans of the Her-liu staff to
alter the situation as it exists to-ilay.
LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Continued From First rase.
taken recently by the enemy. Else
where along the battle line the fight
ing has once more relaxed, being lim
ited chiefly to artillery engagements.
The British warships mentioned by
Berlin as having been disabled by Ger
man artillery fire from the shore are
all small vessels. They are the torpedo
boat destroyer Falcon, the light cruiser
Brilliant and the sloop of war Biualdo.
No details of the extent of damage in
flicted are given by Berlin, which has
the report from Geneva.
In London it is rumored that a large
force of Germans around Dixmude has
been cut off by the floods. The inundat
ed country now extends south of Dix
inude to within three miles of Bix
schoote, about half way to the French
border. In other sections snow has fal
len, and the hardships endured by the
men on the firing line, as described by
persons returning from the front, are
frightful. At points the Germans are
said to have been literally swept out
of their trenches by the flood. Guus
and ammunition wagons are imbedded
in the mud. and countless corpses float
about.
The Russians apparently are concen
trating their efforts on the capture of
Cracow and Przemysl, in an effort to
crush completely the Austrian army be
fore making their main advance on Ger
man territory. Converging forces are
marching on Cracow, the siege of which
is believed in Petrograd to be near. The
Austrian garrison at Prezemysl, accord
ing to an official Austrian statement,
made a successful sortie from the in
vested fortress. From the same source
it is reported that th e Germans are
massing their forces at strategic point?
in the eastern provinces of Posen and
Silesia, preparing for the expected Rus
sian advance.
Petrcgrau acknowledges that the se
vere attacks of the Turks in the Cau
casian regions near the eastern shores
of the Black Sea, have halted the Rus
sian movement. The advance guards of
the Russians have been compelled to
fall back, the Turks having received
large reinforcements. An official Turk
ish statement to-day asserts that the
Russians have suffered heavy losses.
The Austrian operations against
Serria. according to official advices
from Vienna, are proceeding success
fully. The Servians rallied before the
Austrian advance in Northwestern Ser
v!a, but are now said to have been com
pelled again to fall back before the in
vaders.
Britain s problem oi dealing with
the Moslems was brought up squarely
by the German statement that the
Khedive of Egypt had departed from
Constantinople, where he had been since
the beginning of the war, to assume
command of the Turkish forces operat
ing against Egypt. Another report of
dissension in British possessions, com
ing from the same source, was to the
effect that the leader of the Bedouins at
Aden a British possession in Arabia,
was calling on his people to rise to
arm« against their rulers.
The expected encyclical of the Pope
was issued to-day. It is an appeal for
iieece. and attributes the war to lack
of mutual love among men. contempt
for authority, iuiustice on the part of
one class of people against another and
the consideration of mater'al welface
as the sole object of His candidacy

ELIMINATION OF SPIES IS
DEMANDED DY BRITISHERS
ljomlon, Nov. 16, 4.20 A^M. —Sev-
eral interview# with members of Parlia
ment demanding the appointment of a
committee of the pith lie safety to take
necessary measures to prevent any fur
ther mischief from German spies are
published here to-day. Williajn Jovnson-
Hicks, member for Bfentford, said:
••The present authorities are com
placent. nlntost frivolous in dealing with
the question. That the whole coast
should be cleared of all foreigners is
undoubted. There probarhly are many
spits Among the Belgian refugees and
even iu the recruits for the new army."
The ••Daily Express'' says: ''The
spy at present is able to be service
able because it is nobody's business to
deal with him. Three government de
, artuiente are concerned —the War Of
fice, the Home Office and the Admiralty
—and the result' is inaction, hesitation
and all manner of mischief. There

FOPE URGES PEACE AMONG
WAR NATIONS OF EUROPE
Home. Nov. 16, 1.14 A. M. —The
Pope to-day caused to be published his
announced encyclical urging peace
among the warring nations of Europe.
In this document the Pontiff attrib
utes the war to four cases, namely lack
of mutual, and sincere love amoug men:
contempt ot' authority; injustice on the
part of one class of the people against
another and the consideration of ma
terial welfare as the sole object of hu
man activity.
The Pope's appeal urging peace in
Kurope follows a pastoral letter from
the Pontiff issued early in September
in which he exhorted the heads of the
nations engaged in hostilities to end
the present reign of ruin, disaster and
bloodshed. The Pope then said the
spectacle of the conflict tilled him with
horror and sadness and that he hoped
not only for the end of this war but of
all wars.

$10,003 POST FOR CAITHER?
Reports Governor Will Appoint His
Secretary a Member of Public
Service Commission
The rumor that ihe place on the
Public Service Commission made va
cant by the death of Judge Ewing, of
Fayette county, will soon be filled by
Governor Tener by the appointment of
Walter Hugus Gaither, at present pri
vate secretary to the Governor, wan
revived by a Philadelphia newspaper
yesterday. Neither Governor Tener nor
Secretary Gaither was at the executive
department to day, they having left
for Monessing last night to attend the
dedication of the Elks' home in that
city. A Public Service Commissioner
gets SIO,OOO a year.
Should Governor Tener take care of
his private secretary by appointing
him to a nice place just before his
term expires he will lie following a
precedent set by other Governors.
When Uovernor Pennypncker left the
executive chair he provided for his
private secretary, Bromley Wharton,
by having him made secretary and
general agent of the State Board of
Charities, a position he still holds.
When Governor Stuart retired from of
fice he arranged for the placing of his
private secretary, Arch. B. Millar, as
secretary of the State Railroad Com
mission, and subsequently Mr. Millar
was made secretary of the Publie Serv
ice Commission at the instance of Gov
ernor Stuart.
Judge Ewing died several mouths
ago aud the position of Public Service
Commissioner has not yet been filled,
which leads to the belief that Mr.
Gaither will be appointed before Gov
ernor Tener retires. Mr. Gaither was
a newspaper man in Pittsburgh when
Governor Tener mifde him his private
secretary while serviug in Congress.
Naturally Mr. Gaither came to Harris
burg as the Governor's secretary, a
position he has filled with ability.
It was said some time ago that Sec
retary of the Commonwealth McAfee
would succeed Judge Ewing on the
Public Service Commission, but this
has beeu denied by Mr. McAfee him
self, who, it is said, will retain his of
fice as Secretary of the Commonwealth
under Governor Brumbaugh.
