The Naked Truth In the Latin Quarter of Paris lives Lolette, who is known throughout the artists' colony as the handsomest girl in Paris. In spite of the fact that her services as a model nre sought after by the leading painters and sculptors of the city, she poses only for Annand Bouchard, a mediocre painter who be friended her when she \tas left a pen niless orphan several years before. The i moral of this story is brilliantly por [ trayed in motion pictures at the Stand - I ard Theatre to night. Miss Mario Wiseman, the visiting nurse employed by the Steelton Civic Club, will be in her oflice from Sam. to 9 a. m., from 12.30 p. in. to 1.30 p. ni. TABERNACLE MAY BE RAZED SHORTLY Continued From Pint Pn*e. valid?, will be taken to the tabernacle ! in a hundred or more automobiles anl seated in comfortable chairs to bo fur- 1 nished by members of the women 'a work eommi' e and women ushers.! Care will be t:.ken to select only old per sons who cannot get to the tabernacle unaided, for the party has experienced difficulty at many places with persons who pretended thev were invalids so that thev might benefit by the automo bile rides and by the solicitous care of the women. Thursday will be known as a "Day of Rejoicing." for in the evening all who go to the tabernacle will take | with them articles of food or clothing. These articles will be piled on the plat } form and on the following day will be I distributed among the needy poor of the city. Parade to Cap Climax The most spectacular event of the campaign, the parade of members of city churches and Sunday schools through the principal streets, will prac tically cap the climax on Friday night. It is thought improbable that "all the paraders can be accommodated in the tabernacle, but a song service will be held on the streets before the opening of the tabernacle meeting. There were more than a hundred trail' hitters at last night's meeting at the tabernacle. The unusually largo num ber was reached because of the pres ence in the throng of many high school boys and girls, who ha 1 come to the service as the guests of the evening. Dr. Stough gave the briefest sermon in the campaign, turning over much of his time to Captain Jack Crawford, I "the poet scout," who warned the boys in the audience against cigarettes and strong drink, and told stories of his experiences in the wild and woolev West. Song Composed by Spooner At the tabernacle to-night the evan- j gelist will preach on the theme, "How 1 May Know I Am Converted." In stead of the tabernacle chorus, the booster choir will occupy the stage. A special feature of the evening will be the boosters' presentation of a song. "When Daddy Hit the Trail," the words and music of which were com posed by Professor Spooner. The au- i thor of the song says that h e took it direct from life, embodying in its ■ verses the actual experiences of chil-| dren whose fathers had hit the trail. • The subject of Dr. Stough 'a discourse j ao-morrow morning at 10.30 o'clock' will be "Stubble or Silver." In thel afternoon at 2 o'clock he will speak to men only on "Chaining the Giant," the last of his series of lectures to men, and "Spooner and the boosters in : specialties" are also announced. The evangelist will preach again in the evening at 7.30 o'clock. In the after ! noon as usual, Miss Palmer will speak to women only.

In other words if an owner fixes the value of i his home at SIO,OOO he cannot sell it for more than SII,OOO. Pennsylvania laws, it has been point i od out, will not permit such practice here, and the Commissioners referred ; to the Now Zealand plan only for the purpcse of making comparisons. "Once property owners appreciate j the benefit to be derived by fixing prop : erty assessments at a figure equivalent I to eighty-five or ninety per cent, of the actual value.'' said one Commissioner, !

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY Continued From Pint Pagt, ; bara river in Northwest Servia and : capturing two towns. A daring Turkish naval raid in Russian Port of Batum, near the east ern end of the Black Sea, is reported to-day from Constantinople. It is said that 100 Russians were killed by the bombardment of Turkish warships. I Since the engagement between Russian j and Turkish warships in which the for -1 mer German cruiser Goeben, principal unit of the Turkish naval forces, was damaged, there has been little activity ion the Black Sea and to-day's dis patches give no intimation of the char acter of the Turkish vessels which made the attack or of the whereabouts of the Russian warships. The German cruiser Dresden is said to have taken refuge from the pursuing British warships in an inlet on the coast of Patagonia. The Dresden is the only one of the five German warships defeated by the British on December 8 which has not been reported officially to have been sunk. It has become apparent that the re-: newed military activity in France, the precise nature of which has been left in doubt by the indefinite official com munications has not yet attained tho dimensions of a general assault. Berlin is speculating whether the allies taking advantage of Germany's preoccupation in the great struggle with Russia will seize the opportunity to begin a general movement with a design to push back the whole German line. Reports from French and English sources state that the Germans are be ing pushed back slowly here and there, as though the present operations of the allies were in the nature of testing at tacks ascertain where the Germans have been weakened appreciably by withdrawals of men for the eastern battlefield. The campaign in Eastern Russia is now viewed more complacently by the allies. Petrograd reported yesterday ths Germans were within 15 miies of War saw but it is now said that this advance j has been checked. It is assorted in' Paris that the German plan of campaign has failed; that attempts to outflank; the Russian right and left have been deieated and that the Germans are now reduced to the necessity of mak ing frontal attacks which have so far been futile and costly. German ob servers, however, while frankly rscog nizlng the immense importance of the outcome, see no reason for believing! that the German plan of campaign is in danger of failure. The mystery of Servia's sudden re versal of form is attributed in Paris to a dramatic incident. It is said that Xing Peter, Servia's seventy-year-old ruler, went to the front at the time when his army apparently was being pushed to extremeties by the Austrians, and said to his soldiers: "Your old king has come to die with you for the fath erland." Thereupon a general assault was or-1 dered, resulting In the recently reported repulse of the Austrians. XO "WAR FOOTING" PLAN' General Stewart Knows Nothing of Rumor Concerning National Guard Washington jingoes are circulating a story from that city to'the ♦.fleet that) the War Department is engaged upon | plans to place the National Guard of j Pennsylvania upon a full war footing,' the Federal government to supply this ! State and other States as rapidly as j possible with arms and ammunition and j complete equipment. If the federal | government is going to do all of this it has not so informed the State au thorities. Adjutant General Stewart said to day that he knows nothing of the in tentions a« reported and intimated that i there ar e people in Washington who i talk too much about something about which they know nothing. General Stewart says that the Fed- 1 eral government is at all times prepared ' to equip the National Guard. "I have no information that they j want to put us on a war footing,'' said j General Stewart, "but I know that at' the War Department they have set | aside enough of everything to equip ! every National Guard in everv State in the event of a war."
