LUTE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
CMtinnrd Frum Firat Pane.
duke Frederick, commander of the Aus
tro-Hungarlan army.
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

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.

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.

The report was prepared by .John

of tihe unemployed. It states that fihe
country will be confronted this winter
"by a situation which will demand ex

WOIERIISIKEEP
FROM CONVERTS
Dr. Stough Hears They
Have Been Inducing
Trail Hitters to Join
Their Churches
HE WARNS THEM
TO STAY AWAY
In His Sermon Last Night Evangelist
Declares That All of City's
Churches, Ministers and People That
Have Any Religion Arc With Him
That women have for the past few
mights 'been working among persons
who hit the trail ait the tabernacle, in
ducing them to join the various churches
of "hit-ill they themselves are members,
was the statement made last niglut by
Dr. Stough at the after meeting. 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. The bouquets whicn Nare
brought will <be distributed among sick
persons after the meeting. V
Two big nights have been
for next week. Patriotic night on Thurs
day and Firemen's night on Friday.

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
