The Villa troops occupied Saltillo
two days ago by a trick and without a
fight. The Carranza forces under Gen
eral Antonio I. Villareal had evacuated
the city to proceed against Villa forces
which they met and defeated at La
Brisa and Marte.
Meanwhile, however, another Villa
force had marched through the moun
tains to the southeast of Ssiltillo and
entered ttie city. The Carranza army
returned in force early to-day.
Reports at noon from Carranza
sources claimed that the advantage lay
wiMi the besieg-rs but with the battle
stil! raging.

American border in the frtat-e of Coa
huila. where Carranza started his revo
lution.

the American side of the border.
State Department dispaches to-day
from Eagle Pass said it was reported

Wednesday ami that Villa troops re-
O'-cupied tiie city the same day. Tele

MR. raߧ HONORED
Selected to Speak on "Profit Sharing"
at the Convention of the National
Bet&ii Drygoods Association
Mr. T. P. McCutotoin, manager of the
Bowman & Co. store in this city, has
accepted an invitation to address the
National Retail Drygoods Association
on the subject of "Profit Sharing," at
a convention to be held at the Hotel
Knickerbocker, New York City, on Feb
ruary 10.
"Profit Sharing' is attracting much -
attention throughout the country, es-
Seeially in the large department stores,
owman & Co. were pioneers in the
movement to share profits with em
ployes and have studied the proposition j
and improved on original plans until
a very satisfactory system has been [
worked out. This svstem has proved so
satisfactory, in fact, that merchants in
other cities have written for details,
and it is the suggestion of many that,
it should be made the subject of the
leading address at the next meeting of
the national body.
Mr. MeCubbin is an enthusiastic ad
vocate of "Profit Sharing" and has
made an exhaustive study of the sub
ject. His wide experience qualifies him
to speak authoritatively on the sub
ject.
The National Retail Drygoods Asso
ciation includes in its membership pro
prietors of large drygoods and depart
ment stores in the principal cities
throughout the country. The selection
of Mr. McCttbbin as the person to ad
dress the convention on this important
subject is regarded as a recognition of
the progress Harrisburg has made in the
movement.

of the communication follows:
"In the western theatre of the war;
the continuous rains swamped the
ground in Flanders more anil more and i
mil- operations in consequence are very
much hindered. To the east of Rheinis !
the French attempted during the nitglit
to take one of our outer trenches but
they were driven back into their own
positions toy a counter attack, losing
fifty prisoners. In the center and in
the eastern part of the Argonne we
made further progress.
'I A nught attack by the French
against our positions on the Buehen- j
kopf, south of Diedolsihausen, in the

Fighting still is going on for the vil- j
lage of Oberinirnhaupt ( Burnhaupt-Le

11.01 A. M.—A brilliant exploit by
French Alpine troojrs who charged on

a* Bonh online, A post on the Al
satian frontier, forced the Germans to
retire on OJbev, five nriles down the
valley of the river Weiss toward Col
mar.
The Germans held the railroad from
St. Marie to !-'t. Croix, menacing St.
Die, where the French heavy ariiJlerv
opened tire on January 3. At the same
time the Alpine troops lea-ding the wav
tor French infantry, advanced on the
German customs at Diedolshau
sen, near Bauhomnie.
A strong German detachment with
quick-firers held the route, but the
winding nature of the road prevented
the Germans from firing more than 7<H>
yards along it. The French advanced to
within this distance of the Germans
whue the Alpine troops bejan to climo
tiie heights to attack the Germans on
tueir flank.
1 rogress was slow and the dark
forms ot the soldiers, outlined against
the snow, made excellent marks for the
German sharpshooters. Manv of the
men rolled down the ste»p slopes, leav
ing crimson stains behind. The surviv
ors pushed forward until they gained
the shelter of the pines at the sum
mit.
Then be,gan an exciting charge on
the Germans at Diedolshausen. The
Alpine soldiers on their skis slid down
the mountain side at a dizzy speed
while the infantry in the road below
opened fire on the Germans. Caught
between two fires the Germans gavt
way, fighting abstinatelv aJong the five
miles of their retreat.

ABBOTT AND PENNYPACKER
IN HOTCLASHJHISMORNING
Coatlaurd From First !'■((.
j vania and Reading Railroad Companies,
j and railroad officials.
Several of the attorneys had been
•heard when that phase of the question
I requiring argument from Mr. Abbott
came up
: As Mr. Abbott advanced to begin his
argument he was stopped by Chairman i
' I'ennypacker, who reminded him that j
he hail filed fifteen questions with the
Commission based on the fact that Com
missioner Johnson had conversed with
a railroad official on the proposed tc
| tion of the Commission iu the matter
: of passenger rates before such action
had been made public. At this point
j Commissioner Penny-packer quoted the
I law defining the rights of the Commis
sioners and held that Commissioner
Johnson was clearly within the law
when he held converse with the rail
i road officer.
"What Commissioner Johnson did,"
said Commissioner Pennypacker, "was
especially provided for. We have se
cured the methods of procedure of fif
teen Public Service Commissions in as
many States, and find that each pur
sues the same course. These letters
will be printed. It is our intention in
j the future, when it is necessary to se
cure information, to pursue the same
; course. Commissioner Johnson was
doing just what he was entitled to do.''
Mr. Abbott Has No Apology
Mr. Abbott listened respectfully,
with half a smile on his face, aud when
Commissioner Pennypacker seemed to
finish Mr. Abbott moved up as if about
jto speak. Then Commissioner Penny-
I packer again halted him with:
"Your questions were entirely irrele
vant, and tiling tlieni was not even con
sidered. We cannot overlook the fact
that they are not on record. The Com
mission will give you the opportunity
| to withdraw the questions."
"If you please—" said Mr. Abbott,
lie was interrupted toy Mr. Penny-pack
i er, who said:
"We don't vfrant to hear any aigu-1
\ ment."
Mr. Abbott apparently was not in the
| least perturbed. Walking up to the
' desk, he said:
"I am going to reply to your re
marks. This law does not give Com
missioner Johnson any authority to do
as he did. I have uo apology to make.
I mn heie to appear for my clients, and
I will be heard." (This he said very
loudly and heatedly.)
''Do 1 understand that you will not
withdraw the irrelevant questions?"
asked Mr. Pennypacker.
Mr. Abbott paused and then said he
would withdraw the questions. "But,"
he added, "they will be placed before
the Committee on Executive Nomina
tions in the Senate."
Coinmissiouc<- Pennypacker here told
Mr. Abbott that attorneys were having
a hearing before the Commission not
as a matter of right, but on sufferance.
During the very scrappy scene the
attorneys looked on amazed, but Abbott
held his own. and proceeded with his
1 argument, carrying it to a conclusion.
The hearing was resumed this after
( noon.
WAR RECORD WHEAT PRICES
, Continunl from Firiit Cage.
' ' Turkey by Italy had an explosive effect
' I with buyers.
1 j On wave of buying. May
wheat went to $1.40 a bushel", the high
: est figure with few exceptions in fifty
years, the parallel thus going baca
' broadly to the American Civil war. To
' day's high prices were supported by
■ dispatches teilinig of excitement in the
■ grain trade at Liverpool, and admitting
I that demand there was keen.
In the next hour another fent a
i bushel was added to previous values, so
i | that May wheat here was quoted at
• $1.41 a bushel. Meanwhile it was an
i ! nounced that bids f-om Great Britain
Ij nt the American seaboard had risen
■ j four cents, as compared with yesterday.
; i It was also stated that a largo of Dur
, uni wheat ha«l been sold at the rate of
$2.0" a bushel, delivered in Italy.
Only 24 hours ago it was thought n
inarvel to get $1,991/., for Durum that
was also bought subject to the cost of
all charges to the Mediterranean.
Before the day was ever, commis
sion houses found it necessary to de
mand a big increase of margins from
customers who sought to trade in
wheat. The violent changes in the
| market resulted in a margin c,t' 10c a
bushel being generally required. Re
' I cently five cents a bu-hel has been the
' ! rule. The doubling of margins |mt

ME BELIEF WORK HELPS
ONE WOMAN FROM BEGGING
Foreign Division of Lo:al Body Plans
to Have Boxes Furnished of Ma
terials Which Will Maintain a
Baby One Month
"If you were not giving me this
work I'd He begging,'' a woman told
one of the workers at the Home Relief
Department of the Home and War Re
lief committee, 7 South Front street,
this morning. Sshe had just brought
back some sewing she had finished and
ha-d received pay for it, together with
another bundle of unsewen garments.
She felt that she was making her own
wav, and that counts almost as much
with many of the needy families of the
city, as does the relief itself.
Until noon fifty-one women had re
ceived payment for work done and had
taken more home to be sewn. The sup-,
plies division worked full force about
an extension tslble, and nearly cleared
the office of supplies. Along about noon
Bloughs sent two automobile loads of
cut materials in, which relieved the sit
uation.
A plan to secure aid from citizens
generally for the starving war sufferers
was formulated by the foreign division,
Mrs. James F. Bullitt, chairman. A
Bub-committee, MUo Mtry Jennings,
chairman, is working with grocers of
the city, asking them to furnish neces
sary goods for cost prices. A box of
materials which wiil maintain a babv
foT a month costs $3.30. One eapabe
of sustaining four adults for two weeks
costs $2.25. Dr. Harvey Wiley, nation
al food expert, designated the supplies
that will do the work. Persons iinublo
to fill one box complete will be n.'ile to
dub together with others desiring a
share in the work. Grocers wi'.l bo alli

CAPITOL HILL
ATTACK WOOD FULP RATES
Paper Mill Men Say Peunsy's Charges
Are Too High and Railroads Put ✓
in Vigorous Denial
The advance of 10 cents a ton by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for
the transportation of pulp wood from
points both within and without the
State of Pennsylvania to paper mills
located at Tyrone, Williamsburg, 1 ,ock
Haven, Roaring Spring, York Haven
and Johnsontourg, was attacked before
the Public Service Commission by Wil
liam A. Glasgow, Jr., representing the
West Virginia Pulp and Paper Com
pany aud the New York and Pennsyl
vania Company. The rates were defend
ed by William I. Shaffer and Frederick
L. Ballard, of counsel for the respond
ent.
It was argued in defense of the rates
that when they are compared with
rates on other similar kinds of wood
in the same territory, and when the
financial situation of the respondent is
taken into consideration, that the new
rates are entirely proper and that the
effect of the advance hae been merely
to restore them to their normal basis.
It was also explained that the respond
ents, in common with other carriers, 111
this section of the country, have for a
number of years been faced with the
urgent necessity of increasing their net
revenue if their properties are to be
maintained so as adequately to serve
the public and their credit is to be
such as to enable them to secure new
capital for future development.
Mr. Glasgow contended that the rail
road made no effort to ascertain the
cost of transportating pulp wood or the
profitableness of the former rates, nor
did it consider the remunerative nature
of the traffic. The fact that this com
modity, he said,"took a lower rate than
other commodities is hot a justification
of the reasonableness of the increased
rates and declared that even the rates
in existence prior to the increase were
unjust and unreasonable.

SCENE FROM "TWIN
THE MAJESTI
It is rarely that local playgoers have an opportunity to see one of the
greatest successes of the current New York theatrical season in its first year, but
that is what the management has secured for the Majestic to-morrow, matinee
and night. "Twin Beds" is the attraction, now in its sixth laughing festival
month at the Pulton theatre, New York, with no signs of waning popularity. Not
since Margai-et Mnvo, who is, the author, wrote "Babv Mine," has this country
seen such dean, pure, unadulterated farce. The dramatic cleanliness shown by
Miss Mayo might, be copied by certain French authors.
"Twin Beds" deals with the felicity and annoyances of three married couples
living in the same apartment house; the Hawking in the center, an Italian grand
opera star and his wife, iSignor Monti, above them, anti the aowly wed Larking
below. —Adv.*
