For the first time since-the Germans were checked In their advance on War saw, it was possible to-day to gain a fairly clear idea of the military situa tion in Russian Poland in its broader aspect. Advices from both Berlin and Petrograd indicated that the Germans had definitely succeeded in throwing back the enveloping Russian forces, and were maintaining stolidly their po sitions west of Lowics. Furthermore, it is said the Germans are again under taking an energetic offensive. The completeness of change in the situation, ascribed variously to the failure of the Russian General Rennea kampft to close up the ring about the Germans and to the brilliant strategy of the German leaden, is indicated by a report telegraphed from Petrograd by an English correspondent who pre viously had announced that the Rus sians had won an overwhelming vic tory. He now states that the Germans are holding their positions and that the situation "remains extremely interest ing and hazardous. The latest official announcement from Potrograd states that the lighting has become less severe. A German military critic estimates that the Russian losses in killed, wounded, prisoners and death from sickness amount to fully 1,100,000, or one-third of the nation's best troops. In Oallcla the situation Is still con fused. Recent reports from Potrograd that the Russians had invested Cracow on three sides are now contradicted by an unofficial dispatch which says the invaders are eight miles from th# city. The Archbishop of Prsezyml, the Ga lician stronghold which has been under siege foe. several weeks, is quoted as saying that the situation there is des perate and that the surrender of the city impends. • Germany's determination to prose cute the war is reflected in the virtu ally unanimous vote of the Reichstag for t war credit of $1,2/10,000,000 and in the Imperial Chancellor's decla rations that his country would light to the last breath. Dispatches from Nish, the temporary capital of Servla, confirm Austrian re ports of the occupation of Belgrade by stating that the city has been evacuated by the Servians in consequence of the advance of the invading Austrian army. Iu France and Belgium the deadlock remains unbroken. Although fi htlnj proceeds at various points thore _w?.s no indication that either side Lad "won important advantages. COURT SCORES WOIN WHO SCOLDS NEICHEORS Judge Johnson Exacts Promise From Defendant That Sho WiU Cease An noying Those Nearby—Three Con victed of Charges of Rioting .Judge Albert W. Johnson, of the Union-Snyder judicial district, specially presiding in criminal court here this week, had something to say about "scolding women" in court this morn ing after Blanche Miller, a Middle town woman, hail been convicted of an noying her neighbor*. The Judge said he is inclined to give the woman anofhet chance, but told her, when she wus called for sentence, that she also must show a disposition to change her mode of living. The wit nesses included some of Mrs. Miller's neighbors, who said that they had been much annoyed by her remarks. The neighbors' asked that the woman be moved out of the neighborhood, and, although Judge Johnson intimated the suggestion was a good one, he urged Mrs. Miller to -be peaealile and 110 longer annoy those living nearby. She promised to do that. Samuel Brandt, David B. Geibe and Harry Shaeffer, three of six defend ants indicted on a riot charge, were convietejl. Sentence was deferred until January, when, the Court said, a mo tion for a further suspension of sen tence will be entertained, providing the defendants show a disposition to do better. Just before the noon adjottm ment Robert Reed was placed on trial on a charge of attacking two little boys. Judge Johnson directed that the court room be cleared of all persons save witnesses, court attaches and per sons directly interested in the case be fore the trial was begun. The jury took the case this afternoon. Annie Petrovic was acquitted on 11 charge of bigamy. Witnesses for the prosecution were unable to identify the defendant. Indicted on a serious charge under [ the name of Lin Collard, Mrs. Enos h. Hoffert, Harris street, was acquitted. | Tlic prosecuting witness was :i Reading j woman who produced a marriage cer [ tificate showing that she also is Mrs. [ Enos L. Hoffort. The defendant was described as wife No. 2. Hoffert for j merly was manager of the restaurant in 1 ho Pennsylvania railroad passenger sta | Dion. The police say he has been among the missing since the suit was , lodged against wife No. 2. SCHANERPHONES FROM UNDER IENFEEIOFWATER Continued From First rase. he was trying to "kid' - me, because it was hard to imagine talking such a long distance while I was exploring the | wonders of the bottom of a tank lillod j with water. When "central" connected the line ! with the Star-Independent and I heard J the familiar voices of men at the office where I am employed as plainly as I j would over an ordinary phone I realized i that Captain Borcho "s phone is surely a wonderful invention. Phoned to Star-Independent After I had talked to the titar-Inile- I pendent, Captain Sorclio Baid over the I wire that I was about to receive a pres ! ent of a $5 gold piece. He told me to turn to one side and ''to be sure to catch it" when he dropped it into the tank. That clinched the argument. I was then convinced that the diver's life is "The Life." In a second or so I saw the "five" falling through the water. I tried to take a quick step forward to catch it before it landed, but, try as I did. I could not do it on account of the pressure of the water retarding my movements. To my sorrow, the money landed on the bottom about five feet in front of me. Not being familiar with the tricks of bending while in the diver's "rig,'' I gave the money up for lost. However, the Captain, who had been watching my efforts to pick up the money, encour aged me with hopes of getting it. I realized that the audience was able to watch me and so I dared not be a quit ter. Expecting it would be my last act while alive, I slipped my feet out from under me and in what seemed to be about a minute I found myself flat on my tack beside the coveted "gold" piece.

The evangelism loudly denounced such schemes to increase church membership. "If 1 ever find any of you women around these for that pur[>ose," he wiid, "I'll f»kin vou." The (rail hitters must sign cards, stating their church preferences if they aro not already church members. It has been the indecision of some of these converts evidently, which active church women have been trying to relieve by suggesti"g suitable places of worship, their own for instance. Wants to Prevent Competition Or. tough has been painstaking from the beginning, in his efforts to prevent competition among his co-opt* rnt iii£ churches, and particularly to discourage personal solicitation among trail hitters by monfbers of churches. In calling for ushers to distribute tfhe cards to" the converts, he made it clear that he want ed "honest." ushetrs, who would riotj hasten to suggest their own churches when signers of the cards were unde cided about stating their perferenees. The plan regarding cards on which no cihurch preferences are stated, has been to distribute t'.iem among the co operating ministers according to locali ties. The ministers then call on the converts and speak to them concerning church membership. What Trail Hitting Docs In a justification of trail hitting as an agency for converting men, 1 >r. Stough said in his evening sermon: "Christianity is a miracle, and when you see the changes that come in the faces of thoso that hit the trail, you will be|ieye it. is no side show up here. We're doing the biggest busi ness in this tabernacle that's ever been done at one time in Harrisburg. All this city's churches, all its ministers, and all its people that have got any re ligion are here engaged in savin sin ners. Talk about your courts, w.. it' this thing hero would go on, we wouldn't need that sort of business. We could do everything on the sawdust trail. "This religion isn't a thing you put on with your Sunday clothes, and about which you've got. to be as careful as a woman with her complexion. When you get this religion it's good for sev en days in the week, and as good in the middle of the night as in tli/e day time. "It keeps a fellow straight. Why, a man can't love his wife as ho should until he's a Christian. Come and hit the trail men, and you'll fall in love with your wives all over again. A man never understands his wife's deep, est heart until they pray out loud to gether. Railroaders Respond to Plea "If you hit the trail to-night, th« | appetite for booze will be taken away from you, you 'll go home ami kiss your wife, you'll cut out cussing, and you'll got a whole new nature. As you are now, you ain't got 110 dad. Or to put it more reverently, you haven't a place at the table of tho father in Heaven, I say it's worth while to get into God's family to-night." A number of the Pennsylvania rail | road men, who were present, came for ward when the invitation was issued and knelt with the hundred or more trail hitters. During the persona! work, it developed than two-thirds o< the Pennsy men present wero already professing Christians. Big Bell Presented to Party As a momento of the occasion, the railroad men presented the Stough party with a locomotive bell, polished to the point of reflection. The presenta tion speech was made by Frank Greg ory and the gift was accepted by the party by each member coming to the platform and ringing the bell. To-night will be flower nightjit the tabernacle.

Gloves of Varnish Skin varnish completely covering the hands is used by some surgeons instead of rubber gloves during surgical opera tions. So cleverly is the varnish made that it cannot lie washed off with wa ter or any liquid likely to be met in the course of an operation; nor can it bo scraped off except by sera', ting off tho skin itself, and yet it is abouit, as pliable as very than rubber. The purpose in using it instead of rubber gloves is to preserve the sensitiveness of the touch and make i't easier to handle materials such as catgut. The varnish looks like honey. It is rubbed on t>he hands after they have been washed as thoroughly as possible, and quickly dries. To re move it the hands are washed in an other chemical solution.—Saturday Evening Post.
