LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Continued From First Pace.
in the west, up to February 4, including
killed, wounded r.nd missing, were ap
proximately 104,004) men.
Ambassador Page made a report to
Washington on the use of the American
flag by the steamship Lusitania. Mr.
Page has received no report from tho
British government and bases his com
munication on the stories of American
passengers on the Lusitania to members
of the staff of the American embassy.
The Oerman attack in Central Po
land thus far has failed to make a gap
In the Russian lines which would open
the way to Warsaw and apparently the
only result of the battle has been heavy
losses on both sides. Petrograd has'an
nounced the capture of several Oerman
positions, but the general alignment of
the opposing armies has not been
changed materially. Minor victories
there and In Northern Poland are re
ported by the Russian War Office to
day.
There is no slackening of activity in
the Carpathians, where the Austrlans,
assisted by German reinforcements, are
struggling with the Russians for mas
tery of the mountain passes which give
access to northern Hungary. Important
successes of the Russians in several en
gagements are announced officially' at
Petrograd. It is said that Austrian at
tacks broke down and that in addition
to inflicting heavy losses on their oppo
nents, the Russians captured 2,700 pris
oners.
A private dispatch from Nlsh, Servia,
describes a battle between Rumanian
and Austrian troops which is said to
have resulted from Austrian invasion
of Rumanian soil, in the direction of an
important strategic position which con
trols the only Servian position on the
Danube permitting communication with
Rumania. According to this dispatch
the Austrlans were defeated and driv
en back. There is no confirmation, how
ever, of the Nish report.
Tho Harrisburg Polyclinic Dispensary
will be oipen daily except Sunday at
2 p. in., at its new location, Front, anil
Harris streets, for the free treatment
of the worthy poor.
RUSSIANS IN PURSUIT
JF AUSTRIANS
Continued From First Pass,
ing in the direction of .Bolimow from
Zemiary. The infantry was compelled
to flee, abandoning their artillery upon
the highway.
Hard Fighting in Carpathians
''ln the Carpathians hard lighting
continues. Our troops broke down the
enemy's resistance at three fortified
positions near Mezolaborcz and pur
sued the retreating enemy several
versts, taking two cannon and five ma
chine guns and capturing the command
ant of the Third Honveds, 47 officers
and 2,516 men.
"North of Uzsok Pass, near Lutow
iskow', the enemy was forced to retreat.
Our troops occupied his trenches, taking
three machine guns and many prison
ers.
"The attacks of the enemy who
crossed the Tukholka and Beskid passes
on February 5 were repulsed with
heavy losses for the enemy, who was
forced into a retreat.
"On the Black sea our torpedo boat
destroyers have bombarded Chappe.
The cruiser Breslau, which has arrived
at Batum, fired twenty shots without
results at our destroyers maneuvering
in those waters. After two shots fro'u
tho fortress the Breslau steamed
away.''
The Long-heralded Offensive
Warsaw, Russian Poland, Feb. 8, Via
London, 1.45 P. M. —The reaction
which followed t'he cessation of the
fierce German aggressive in the region
of Humin and the transfer of German
troops northward to initiate a nKw de
fense in the East Prussian country i
which lies between Tilsit, Gumbinnen
and Lipno has provided the Russian
forces in Poland, in the opinion of Rus-
observers, with an oppor
tunity for the long-heralded offensive.
Kver since the German* attack on
Borjimow, whiah had its climax Thurs
day, the number of German troops be
tween the junction of the Bzura river
and Bolimow has been decreasing. Fol
lowing their failt re to make material
headway against the Russian line which
protected Huininan and Borjimow, the
Germans moved their attack to the
right bank of the Vistula, northwest, of
Warsaw, between Lipno and Sierpac.
This offensive, however, was not com
parable in intensity to the former, and
it evidently was only an interlude to
mask an important transfer of German
troops in the direction of Rast Prussia.
New Russian Move Successful?
The new Russian advance, according
to the latest and most reliable informa
tion«reaching Warsaw, already has been
successful between the Bzura junction
and Vitkovitze, where they have taken
a number of German trenches and
started the enemy upon a precipitate re
treat, in which the Germans left a
large number of pieces of artillery be
j hind them.
Russian military observers in Poland
j find in the disorder and disorganization
evidenced in this German retreat in
creasing proof of what they call the
weakening of the German morale.
Although it is expected here that
the Russian offensive will now extend
over the whole, Polish front, even the
most sanguine do not look for any
rapid progress in the resumption of the
aggressive, since the Russians have de
tailed information of elaborate Ger
man fortifications extending from tho
Vistula-south to Skierniewice and Lav
ka. Tho general concensus of military
| opinion in Warsaw to-day, however, is
j that the Ruesians will retake westorn
I Poland in the early spring.
\ Great tribute is paid here to the con
tinued mobility shown by the German
' forces in their lightning changes of
front. In the recent transfer to east
Prussia the Germans made use of its
enormous number of automobiles for
moving their soldiers. They are in pos
session of 30,000 motor cars, each ac
commodating 20 men with food and
ammunition and capable of a speed of
16 miles an hour.
Desperate righting Proceeds
Geneva, via Paris, Feb. 8, G. 55 A. M.
—Desperate-fighting is going on in the
Carpathians between Lawoczne, in Gali
c.ia ami Volcctz, in Hungary. According
to a dispatch received here bhe Russians
have captured the villaiges of Ulics,
Komarnik, Czerteif and Swednik.
A great tattle is raging in Bukowina
between Dorna-Watra and Kimpolung.
Austrian headquarters has prohibited
war correspondents from going to the
front at Poschoita. The Austrians are
reported to have been driven back be
hind the Moldava river and the "Rus
sians also have gained some successes
at Yablomitz.

foot up more than $15,000, and, in the
event of the nhortage being in eifftw
of that amount, the directors, all sub
stantial business men and well-to-do
farmers, Will make good the deficit in
order that t)he bank may be reopened
for business at the earliest possible
day.
The statement is made that tihe dead
cashier had discounted the paj>er of
three customers of the bank witihout
the knowledge of the directorate, ami,
in fear of the disgrace attending the
disclosure of his act, he sought death.
Up to this time, it is said, evidence
is lacking of any criminal collusion 'be
tween Cashier Binner and these cus
tomers. There is a report ourrent that
all of the three affe now engaged in an
effort to make good the overdrafts,
in the 'hope of escaping litigation, which
would lay bare their responsibility for
the banker's death.
The keenest sympathy is felt for
Binner and his funnily in this commun
ity, where, up to bhe time of his death,
lie ha<l enjoyed the confidence and es
teem of the people among whom he
had Kved all his life. Now that he is
dead, it is reealted fchiaJt of late 'he had
appeared worrieid, and no longer spent
his evenings at home, as had been his
custom, hut there was no suspicion of
wrongdoing.
Binner was one of the organizers and
president of toho Schaefferstowu Rural
Telephone Company, a leading member
of Heddelberg Grange and prominent in
local secret societies. In addition to a
wealthy father, he had many wealthy
friends, to whom he coukl have gone,
with every prospect of immediate and
adequate financial aid in his trouble.
He chose deafh instead.
The bank will remain closed until
Wednesday. The cashier's bond of
$15,000 amply secures the bank
against all loss, officials of the institu
tion say. The examiner is still at work
on the books.
The funeral of Binner will be held
to-morrow. It is not known if any
criminal prosecutions will be brought.
FOREIGN SITUATION CAUSE
OF IRREGULARITY IN STOCKS
Bethlehem Steel Feature of Market To
day and Rises Two Points to a New
High Record—Short Selling Un
settles List
Now York, Feb. B.—Wall Street —
The foreign situation was again the
cause of some irregularity in to-day'a
early stock market, leading shares
showing variable changes. The feature
was Bethlehem Steel which rose two
points to a now liilgh record. Railroad
issues inclined' to a lower level, buT
soon recovered, Southern Paciße mov
ing up a point. Interest attached to the
movement of Canadian Pacific which
rose over a point in London. By the
end of the half hour the end of the list
was firm under fcad of Reading and
U. S. Steel.
Short selling unsettled the list; soon
after the early rise, but stocks wore
freely taken on the de!|ine and recov
eries followed. Canadian Pacific sold
higher than before and Bethlehem Steel
increased its gain to 3 points. Other
leaders reflected bearish aggrcsion,
however, Union Pacific and Reading
moving unevenly. Meantime various
specialties were put forward for sub
stantial gains, Kreage rising 4 points.
Some equipment shares were heavy,
American Locomotive, pfd., breaking
13 points to its new minimum of 83.
Seaboard Air Line also fell 2 1-4 to
its fixed price of 36. Bonds were firm,
some minor issues gaining over two
points.
