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. All that I then had to do to get it was to roll over anu pica it up—but only to find that the water had changed the "gold" piece into an insignificant "copper." After telephoning to some of my i friends in various parts of the city and enjoying their astonishment when 1 j told them of mv predicament, I closed the air valve in the helmet. That car ried me to the surface, where I felt as "fit" as when I had entered 14 min utes before. However, there was still another sur- ! prise awaiting me. On account of ray I hands being wet I naturally expected that my clothing would t>e wet, but ! When the diving apparatus was removed I found that I was us warm and dry ! as before I entered the tank. rr PAYS TO USE STAR INDEPENDENT WANT ADS. STUDY EFFECTS @F WAR BR BVSIIESS Data Collected in U. S. Will Be Discussed by National Civic Fed eration SAY CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING Refort, Prepared by John Hays Ham mond, States Situation Confronts Country Tlsat Will Demand Extra ordinary Philanthropic Efforts Now York, Dec. 3.—The results of the comprehensive study of the effects of the European war on business throughout the United States, gained from the reports received from more than GOO correspondents, including Gov ernors, Mayors, officials of nnious, in dut'trial organizations, hanks and build ing associations, will be inailo known iu a report at the fifteenth annual meeting of tao National Civic 'Federation which 'begins hero to-morrow. The report says that conditions are improving and predicts that a further advance toward •prosperity will be witnessed during the next few mouths. The report was prepared by .John Hays Hanmioud, chairman of tiie com mitter which handled the "investigation and strikes a gloomy note in speaking of tihe unemployed. It states that fihe country will be confronted this winter "by a situation which will demand ex traordinary philanthropic, efforts." "The great savings institutions of New York City report that business is now altogether normal," the report says. "In Philadelphia and even in Pittsburgh, despite the severity of the depression in the iron and steel tradw, the deposits of tihe largest sa\*iivgs banks have during the last month ex ceeded withdrawals." Pertain lines of trad© have been stim ulated because of orders placed by for eign nations, but the purchase of sup plies by belligerent nations "satisfies 'but a slight fraction of the American business world," tihe reiport states. "The last few weeks," says the re 'port, "have brought about a little con valescence even in those industries w'hieh seemed wholly wippled." The problem of unemployment and other financial ami industrial questions arising out of the war conditions will be considered at the meeting. CHURCHESISKED 10 JOIN IN RED CROSS CAMPAIGN Lettei Is Addressed to All Ministers of the Cit yßequesting Co-Opera tion of Their Congregations in the Sale of Christmas Seals Co-operation of all the churches in the city in the 1!)14 Red Cross Christ mas seal campaign is urged upon min isters iu a personal letter Which the Rev. S. Win field Herman, pastor of Zion Lutheran church, and secretary of the Harrisburg Ministerium has just sent out to all his fellow pastors. The letter calls attention to the fact that next Sunday will bo cele brated all over the country as "Tu berculosis Sunday" anil tihat t»lie formal observance will precede the opening of the seal sale .which begins Monday. The pastors are requested to make "Tuberculosis Day" the theme of their sermons if possible, to make suit able announcements from pulpit and in the church bulletins, and to request the help of all the officers and members of the congregation. Should bhe church desire a representative from the gen eral couiumittee will be appointed to discuss the campaign. What it means, what it hopes to attain, before the con gregation. The Rev. Mr. Herman's let tec on the subject reads in pa.rt as fol lows: '' Again it becomes my privilege to ewlist your interest in behalf otf the annual campaign for the spread of in formation concerning the 'White Plague.' Last year the Harrisburg cihurches, without exception, joined hands in earnest propaganda of infor mation; sermons were preached; ad dresses delivered and circulars distrib uted. Our indebtedness to the National Association for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis, the State Board of Halth and all the local officials is great and we owe our best co-operation in effective effort to eliminate this dreadful plague. "The committee will appoint a rep resent .'dive to appear before your church, if you desire it. Some of the most effective work la#t year was done by regularly appointed representatives of the Christmas Seal Committee in the local churches or societies. Last year you kindly assisted in distributing cir culars and we a«k for your co-operation again- The fig'hit against this disease is a long and hard one bint it can be woo.
