LATE WAR NEWS SUMRY
The coming of winter having inter
rupted the fighting along the North
sea coast, Germany is making an effort
to press the line of the allies at an
other point. The French War Office
announced to-day that in the region of
the Argonne forest, where severe en
gagements h»ve been in progress for
the last few days, three vigorous at
tacks had been made by German in
fantry- These assaults, it ia said, we.e
repulsed.
The importance of this battle, for
! ei B n military critics explained, lies in
' the fact that if the Germans should
succeed in pushing back the allies they
would be able to join forces with their
troops which, further to the east, have
thrust a sharp wedge into the line.
Such a junction of forces would result
in the surrounding of the strong fort
ress of Verdun, which the German
Crown Prince attacked in vain during
the earlier days of the war.
The reply of the allies to this chal
lenge was an attack on Germans in the
neighborhood of Verdun. An official
German statement to-day said this at
tack had been repulsed.
In Belgium the diminution of ac
tivity has become still more pronounced.
There was almost a total absence of
infantry attacks in the northwest an!
even the artillery fire, which recently
has been unusually severe, has lessened.
The Germans, on their left wing,
have reoccupied a section of the town
of Chauvoncourt, which they recently
blew up with mines after the French
had forced theh way in.
Either the censorship or the absence
of decisive events was responsible for
the fact that from other fields of bat
tle, in Russian Poland. Turkey, Servia
and Persia, there came only fragment
ary information to-day. The German
statement said that the Russians were
continuing thei. retreat in Poland, but
that in eastern Prussia they had cap
tured an unoccupied fort.
Comparative calm in the west and re
awakened activity in the east are ta
ken by London to indicate that the
German military chiefs have decided to
CnnMnurd on Firtnnlh t*RKr.

Members of Board Say
Their Salaries and E
xpenses Will Not Ex
ceed That
ALM OST.FOUR '
MONTHS' WORK
Judge Kunkel and Commissioners Had
Estimated Task Could Be Accom
plished in ;«) Days—An Auditor's
Pay Is $3 a Day
The examination of official records
and vouchers by the Dauphin county
auditors, as required by law, in connec
tion with the 1913 accounts of Coun
ty Treasurer A. H. Bailey, was com
pleted this morning when a balance was
struck, and it is now believed that the
auditors will be ready to make their
report to the County Commissioners
next Wednesday.
Tlbp auditors received the county
hooks and began their work 011 July
27, last, so that if the rej>ort is filed
next Wednesday,—November 25, —they
will have had four calendar months,
all but two days, in which to make the
audit. The bills for the audit last
year, including the salaries and tnile
aga of the auditors, totaled $1,595.76,
and this year, one of the auditors said
to-day, the amount will not exceed $1 ,-
000.
Although the audit has consumed
almost four months it was recalled
about the Court House to-day that at
the start ol' th e audit Judge Kunkel and
the County Commissioners estimated
that the work could be done in thirty
days.
The law allows each auditor $3 for
each day he works as salary exclusive
of other expenses. There have been
approximately 100 working days since
the audit was started, so that if each
of the three auditors were to charge for
a full day's work for each of these
days the total charge for salaries alone
would be S9OO. There is a good deal
of interest being expressed in Court
House circles as to whether the audi
tors will put in claims for a full day's
salary for each of those 100 days. '
None of the auditors has announced
the numbfer of days for which he will
make charge. Francis W. Reigle, how
ever, said he spent little or no time on
the audit during the Firemen's Con
vention week; that l»e worked only two
days during the week of the election,
and that he was absent on several oth
er occasions, on account of holidays and
illness, and that his salary charge, to
gether with that for mileage would not
exceed S3OO. Mr. Reigle lives in Eliza
hethville and is allowed $1.32 mileage
from that borough once a week. If mile
age is charged for eighteen weeks, that
item alone would amount to approxi
mately $77.76 in Mr. Reigle's case.
The mileage allowed Fred VV. Hous
ton, the Harrisburg member of the
board, and John W. Caasel, of Hwatara
township, will be comparatively trifling,
it is said.

CAUGHT ONE 'POSSII AND
FOUND IHAT'IT'WAS NINE
Former Bluecoat Tells How a Prize
That He and a Companion Captur
ed When Hunting in Perry County,
Multiplied Over Night
How lie captured one opossum only
to learn, when lie got it home from the
mountains that "it'' actually was
nine, was told to-day by George L.
Marshall, a former policeman, of 41 j
Verbeke street. Marshall is a brother
of John Marshall, who ran for the Leg
islature 011 the Democratic ticket- tt»j#
fall. Jle is au enthusiastic sportsman
and with Margin Slatzmae, of York
count, went coon hunting in the Perry
county mountains not long ago.
"During the hunt." said Marshall
to-day, "tho dogs treed a opossum.
Mow to quiet the dogs than because
we wanted it, we put the opossum in -a
bag and took it along home. Next
morning when we looked at the opos
sum we found nine instead of one. In
vestigation showed it was a mother
opossum that we captured and that the
mother had eight little ones concealed
in her " pocket or bouch." At that
time the little fellows must have been
about four weeks old and were 110
larger than a small-sized mouse. In the
last two weeks they have grown won
derfully until now they are much larg
er than an ordinary rat."
As soon as the young opossums
were old enough to be weaned away
from their mother, Marshall distribut
ed them among his friends. Jesse .1.
Lybarger, a Democratic candidate for
the Legislature this fall, for several
days had three of them on exhibition
in the display window of his store, 908
North Third street. Four of the little
fellows are now being kept as pets by
G. 0. Furl, 919 Myrtle avenue, and
the rest of the family have been given
to friends of Marshall outside of the
city. They feed on vegetables and
meat.
On the same hunting trip Marshall
aud Slatzman captured six coons which
were presented to the Central Demo
cratic Club of this city and eaten at
a supper given by that organization.

his forces were to be replaced with
other Carranza troops moving down
from uiiitor General Gon
zales, one of Carranza's chief support
ers.
Mr. SiUitnan added that railroad
communication northward and also be

interrupted.
Previous reports have leh it to be
understood that a sufficient ffarrison

tain order aud prevent entrance of the
Zapata forces until .Villa's forces were
in the immediate vicinity and ready
to enter when the Carranza troops
would withdraw.
L«ater the State Department receiv

that Obregon was going to Kalina
<"ruz. As that port is on the Pacific
side of the isthmus of Tehuantepec
and far from the scene of threatened
hostilities, officials could not under
stand it.

Following his welcome of the rail
