CAPITOL
CHANCING THE BLANKS .
IN CORPORATION REPORTS
Beneficial Changes for State and Cor
poration Are to Be Made by Au
ditor General Powell for the Next
Year
Important changes, beneficial alike
ti tiic S ie / ud to the corporations
affected, have been made in the forms
of some of the blanks furnished to com
puuies for the making of capital stock
reports to the Auditor General. The
greatest differences are in the blanks
for the use of manufacturing compa
nies and of companies engaged in the
transportation, telegraph, telephone or
electric Kght business. Blanks for the
use of corporations of other claseitica
tious would have been radically changed
this year but for lack of time. During
the next true year the Auditor General
will consult with the officers of such
companies with a view to the making
ol' such alterations as will enable them
to make reports at once more satiMnc
tory to the department and easier of
preparation by the corporations.
■Changes already made were decided
upon after the Auditor General had
consulted with the officers of a number
of corporations, with the accountants
of the Interstate Commerce Coininis
sion and with the Federal income tax
accountants. They make reporting to
the Auditor General an easy matter for
companies which have arranged their
bookkeeping to meet the accounting
standards of the Federal officers. Fur
ther, the new forms are so devised as
to dovetail with the standard of the
Pennsylvania Public Se.rvice Comniis
sion.
One entirely new form of cap it a.l
stock report blank has been introduced
this year. It is to be used by distilling
and brewing companies and follows al
most exactly the form of the blank for
manufacturing corporations, except that
it does not provide for a petition for
exemption under the act of June 8,
18513—an exemtpion to which brewing
and distilling companies are not en
titled.
Get Auto Licenses Now
••'Do your 'Christmas shopping* early
out first send to the State Highway De
partment ar :Harris'mrg tor your 1915
auto license?.'.' is what is asked by the
department. According to a statement
issued toy tiie Automobile Division of
the State Highway Department to-day,
license plates -will be sent out by par
cel nosrt. T'he Federal Postoffioe Depart
ment has not yet been able to devise
any means of preventing congestion of
the mail around the holiday season and
for tais reason it is advisable that ap
plicants for licenses act promptly. li
cense plates applied for now will be
phiipped to the holders prior to Decem
ber 10 and by this means delay will
be avoided.
The Automobile Division has re
ceived more than 4.000 applications for
next year's licenses up to tiie present
time. Inasmuch as the law explicitly
states that the license tags for tie cur
reut year expire at midnight on Decem
ber 31, wise owners and operators of
automobiles and motorcycles are giving
attention to the hint given several
weeks ago that those who were tardy
in applying would not escape the pen
altv of tho law this year.
Jt is expected that more than t50,-
1 OOI) application? or' all classes will 'oe
i received for next year. In anticipation
i of the rush for applications the Auto

j next, year's applications promptly.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Cootlaae* From Flrnt Pi(t.
inforcements had postponed the deci
sion.
Germany accounts the battle in Rus
sian Poland as virtually won, aud Is
already estimating the effect upon fu
ture military operations. An announce
ment to-day from the German general
staff is to the effect that a decision is
at hand and that conditions every
where are favorable from its point of
view.
In Rerlin it in said the outcome of
the main battle with the Russians may
decide not only that phase of the many
sided war, but with the whole European
struggle. A decisive triumph in the
east, it is pointed out, would free part
of the German army engaged there to
assist the forces which are facing the
British, French and Belgians in the
west.
Upon what information the confident
Berlin predictions were based was not
fully apparent. An official German
statement to-day said merely that the
fighting in Poland continues. Russia
admits that the Germans have won par
tial successes, but there is nothing to
show that the continued German ad
vance toward Warsaw is influencing the
Russian campaign to the north, in east
ern Prussia, or to the south near Cra
cow, Galicia.
Unofficial reports from Petrograd
state that the Russians are continuing
tVeir advance in east Prussia and have
captured GumMnnen, a fortified city
«tl miles from Koenigsberg. According
to *ll accounts, the main battle, be
tween the Vistula ?.nd W*rta rivers,
is still in progress and, although the
Germans are pressing forward steadily,
the Russian army is still offering de
termined resistance.
In the west the fighting iu Belgium,
which has been slow for several days
on account of the weather, has broken
out with renewed ferocity at Ypres,
with the artillery playing the main
part. London suggests that this may
be the prelude to another German at
tempt to pierce the line, as in the past
onslaughts by German infantry havo
been preceded by heavy artillery at
tacks.
From the other fields of battle re
ports were meagre. The Turks were
said to have reached the Suez caual
after defeating British forces.
The British steamer La Correntina,
missing for several weeks after she
sailed from Buenos Aires for Liverpool,
is now said to have been sunk by the
German converted cruiser Krouprins
WilheJm. her crew haying been taken
by a German steamer to Montevideo.
The French bark Union, it is said, also
was sunk by the Kronprlnz Wilhelm.
ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
RELIEF WILL START AT ONCE
London, Nov. 23, 2.36 P. Jl.—The
relief work of the Rockefeller Founds
tion in Austria. Servin. France and
some sections of Russia will be under
taken actively at once. Dr. Wickliffe
Rose, head of the Rockefeller commis
sion. said to-day that he and his asso
ciates would soon visit these countries,
vhere the needs of the people are per
haps as great as in Belgium, although
less has been beard of the conditions
there. .
It is the purpose of the Rockefeller
committee. Dr. Rose explained, to dis
cover the localities in which the needs
of the people are greatest, regardless
of the country, and send immediate re
lief. Amfbassador Page and Dr. Rose
have learned that the conditions are
especially bad in some sectious of
Servia.
WOMAN DOCTOR TO CARE FOR
HOMELESS BELGIAN CHILDREN
Chicago. Nov. 23.—Dr. Caroline
Hedger, formerly in charge of the in
fant welfare work in Chicago, and her
assistant, Miss Janet Hall, will leave
to-morrovr for Belgium to take charge
of the work of caring for homeless chil
dren under the Belgian Red Cross.
The Chicago Women's Club to-iiay
donated $2,000 to Dr. Hedger and her
assistant to defray their expenses. They
will carry 10,000 doses of typhoid vac
cine, prepared and donated by a Chi
cago woman physician at a cost of $3,-
000. In New York Dr. Hedger will be
given 10,000 vaccine needles aud S7OO
worth of dressing by the Red Cross.
CHILE WILL STOP NEUTRALITY
BREACHES, EVEN AT WAR COST
Lima, Peru, Nov. 23.—1t is declared
here to-day on what would appear to
be good authority that the Germans
have been maintaining what is de
scribed as a naval station outside of
Valparaiso, Chile. Here they brought
together a number of vessels having on
board coal and provisions.
Chilean papers reaching here say the
government is determined to stop these
breaches of neutrality even at the cost
of war.
20 KILLED IN BOMBARDMENT
OF LIBAU BV UERMAN SHELLS
Ijondon, Nov. 23, 4.44 A. M.—Ac
cording to Libau newspapers, during the
German bombardment of Libau last
Tuesday 700 shells were thrown in four
hours, says the Petrograd correspondent

ASKS GERMANS TO TABOO
HOSTILE NATIONS' GOODS
Sao Francisco, Nov. 23.—Baron E.
H. Von Scback, imperial German consul,
urged Germans throughout America to
boycott goods manufactured l>y nations
hostile to their country, in an address
last night at a benefit for German
wounded soldiers, widows and orphans.
"The allies," he said, "always en
vious of Germany 's commercial prosper
ity, have utilized the present occasion
to slander German industry. With
cold-blooded contempt, of all commercial
treaties and of their own laws, they are
suppressing German commercial houses
within their own countries and are an
nulling, or plainly stealing, German or
Austrian patents of invention.
("Here in the United States are
twelve million Germans or G-man-
Americans. Placing the buying capac
ity of these at only slsp per annum,
their yearly purchasing power is sl,-
800.000,000.
"Let me suggest a better system of
buying. • You should buy articles of
German or Austrian origin if you can
not obtain American-made wares. Be
fore buying ask where the article was
made. Be loyal to America and loval
to your Fatherland."
