Continued From First Page.
the two nations' has disappeared. Eng-1
laud is willing to make ail concessions j
which she deems not in direct conflict!
with the interests of the allies, although
it is believed she will not relinquish
the right to search American ships un- j
der exceptional circumstances.
An official Turkish announcement
makes no comment on the disastrous de
, feat Russia states was Inflicted on the!
Turkish forces which invaded the Cau- i
casus. The report speaks of minor vie-!
Tories over the Russian* by Turkish j
forces which penetrated Northern Per
sia, and of indicislve naval battle be-!
tween Turkish and Russian warships on
the Black Sea.
Activity of Germany's Zeppelins
along the French coast has revived con
jecture as to a possible raid on England
by these huge air craft. Several of the
dirigibles are reported to have appeared
near Dunkirk, and are then said to have I
turned toward the English coast.
The reported arrest of Cardinal Mer-;
cier at Brussels on account of a pastoral
letter in which he is said to have ad
vised Belgian civilians not to recognize
the authority of the German administra
tion has developed one of the striking
Incidents of the war. Pope Benedict is
making an inquiry, having received no
official confirmation of the report. It is
said at Rome that should its truth be
established the Pope would protest to
Germany.
j DEMORALIZES THE ENEMY
An Unexpected Charge That Resulted;
in Rout and Annihilation
There have boon many curious bits
| of strategy in warfare, but none morel
i effective tlmn the coup of the Tereei
. rans when threatened by the Span -1
j iards.
; Early in th<* morning of the 25th day!
j of July, 15X1, the inhabitants oS the j
i village of Bt. Sebastian, I«!e of Tor-j
j ceira, one of the Azores or western !
| group, were aJarmatf" at the sight of a i
squadron, consisting of seven large!
i Spanish war galleon*, auehored off the.
little bay at Salsa, the operations for
: landing a hostile force being actually
i in progress.
Hastily summoning some companies j
jof militia and collecting behind a*
| neighboring knoll a large herd of genii
wild cat-tie from the neighboring pae- j
bores, the islanders quietly awaited
the massing of the Spaniards on the
'beach.
I When this ha«! been »ceomplisl»ed,
j the Terceirahs advanced close up to
| the foe, as if to the attack, when, sud-
I denlv oipening out into two long col
! umns and leaving a wide, open space
j between, the numerous cattle were
; sent thundering down the center, good
j ed on by picadors on horseback. 8o rnn-
I usual and unexpected a change threw
I the Spaniards into complete disorder,
and, being at onc e set upon by the is
landers, scao-cedy a man escaped to the
ships, several guns which had been
landed falling as spoil to tbe conquer
ors.—Exchange.
It is better net to tell your troubles
more than once to the same individual.

STOCK MARKET DEVOID OF
ANY ESPECIAL FEATURES
Bethlehem Steel Market Moved to a
New High Price on Rumors of a i
Restored Dividend in Near Future '
—Harvester Falls Nine Points
!
BIJ Associated Press.
New \ ork, Jan. 7.—Aside from its
general firmness, to-day's earlv stock
market was devoid of especial features.
Dealings wore lighter than in the same
period of the preceding session and j
changes wore again limited to mere j
fractions. Union Pacific was the only j
active stock to show any decline, oth I
er s being either unchanged or slightly
better. For the first time since Ixin- '
don resumption, a few international !
issues showed small gains, but these
were offset toy losses, some of which i
ranged from 1 to 2 points. Bethlehem
Steel, yesterday's active stock, was
again in demand, with some inquiry j
for I . 8. Steel and American Can.
Further unimportant changes oc
curred during the morning, but the :
movement was conflicting, owing to pro- \
fessional selling of Union Pacific, Cana- I
dian Pacific and Steel, as well as the
Gculd group. Bethlehem Steel moved j
to a new high price on rumors of :i
| restored dividend in the near future. ;
j InternatioTial Harvester Corporation i
; fell 9 points to its minimum at 73. j
| Bonds were irregular, with increased j
i weakness in St. Paul convertibles.

In the midst of a beautiful selection

RIVER ICE WILL GO 00T
HERE IN NEXT 24 ROORS
Caatlnueri From First Pag*.
in the susquohanna region together
with the forecast for the next twenty
four hours, which was issued from the
local office of tho weather bureau this
: morning l follow*:
"As forecast yesterday, the goneral
J and moderately heavy rains and high
temperature during the last twenty-four
hours have caused ice movements in
some of the streams in the Susquehan
na river system. The ice broke at Re
nova at 8.10 a. m. to-day and moved
out on eight feet of water. It broke at
Oleartield about 0 a. m. and moved out
i on a stage of about. 6 foet. Tho ice has
also moved out of Pine creek at Water
i ville.
"Substantial rises have occurred in
all streams and further movements of
I ice are likely to occur in the next
. twenty-four hours in all streams of tho
| system wbero ice remains except pos
; siibly the North Branch. AH streams
! will rise during the next thirty-six
1 hours exeeipt the upper portions of tho
main tributaries which will probably
| begin to fall to-nighl. No Hood stages
are likely to occur except where gopy
! ing occurs. A stage of aibout 6.."> feet
|is indicated for Harrisburg Friday
j morning."
The flood stage in Harrisburg is 17
| feet. Until the river reaches that
stage there is no inconvenience here,
i When it reaches that point, the Market
, street subway ibegins to fill willi water
! and some of the low lands in feoutk
| Harrielburg become flooded.
Mercury Rose to 54 Degrees
The greatest increase in the river
| stage over night was reported from tte
novo where the river rose 5.3 foet. The
! greatest rainfall occurred -there, th«
; precipitation amounting to 2.10 inches.
| The Clearfield report that five ice inovqd
out on six feet of water after the ob
servation was made leal to YVeait'iwr
Forecaster Demain to believe that the
only flood stage in tile system inav bo
reached there.
According to advice* reaching the lo-
I cal office of the Weather Bureau the
i ic« from tie West Branch has gorged
: some place in the vicinity of Williams-
I port. Should this gorge give way dnr
| ing the night and release a great body
,of water a greater increase than aii-
I ticipated in the stage of the river at
this point may result.
The storm broke over this city yes
i terdav morning a nki 1 light ra.ius occur rod
| all during the day until last night
I when the rain became heavy, faiiling in
j torrents about 9 o'clock. Unider the in
; fluence of this storm the temperature
j rose, reaching a maximum of 54 de
grees at la.ft midnight. It had dropped
| to 48 degrees at 8 o'clock this morn
j ing. It is likely that the temperature
just after last midnight will be the
| maximum for to-day. Although it was
!an exceedingly high temperature no
records for the month were broken. The
depression, responsible for the rain, has
moved north-eastward and was central
in Michigan this morning. No further
rain is expected here.
Ice Wrecks Temporary Bridge
The ice on the Swatara creek, which
flows into the Susequehanna at Middle
town, broke Shoryy after midnight and
moved off on from six to eight feet of
water. The break-up of the ice on the
Susquehanna river, between Hitgihspire
and Buck Lofk, a point two miles be
low MMdletown, occurred this morn
ing and this afternoon the ice is gorg
ing in the riffles just below Boyalton.
The ice is piled several foet high
and while it would require a rise in the
river of six or eight feel; to carry off
this ice, no serious results are antici
pated.
The framework under one section of
the temporary bridge which the Ferro
concrete Company provided when it be
gan the construction of the permanent
concrete arch bridge over the Swatara
creek, between Mid die town and Royal
ton, whs swept a>w«v by the flood of
ice this morning and pedestrians now
arc obliged to use the uncompleted con
crete structure.
River Closed On December 15
The river became icebound on De
cember 15, closing earlier this winter
than in most years. Decemlber was un
usually cold, all temperature records for
the month in the last twenty-deven
years being broken, but the clbaing of
the river here at such an early date
was partly due to the new dam at the
southern limits of the city, which re
tarded tho flow of the river to some ex
tent. Coffer dams around the piers of
the Cumberland Valley railroad bridge
served to stop the slush ice which first
formed iu the river.
A temperature of 4 degrees on the
night of December 15 closed the river
-at this point. From that time on until
the close of the month the minimum
temperature each night was below
freezing, the minimum temperature for
the month occurring December 27 when
the mercury dropped to one degree
above zero. That put the finishing
touches on the river and from that time
on the ice afforded excellent skating,
particularly albove the dam.
Skating is over on Wildwood lako
for tho present, the ice being covered
with water, but when the next freeze
comes officials of the Park Department
expect to have a glassy sheet of iee for
the steel runners. The rod flag, which
indicates skating on the lake, was
hauled down from the top of the offices
of the department in the Herman build
ing on Tuesday.
