Each of the opposing armies has won its minor victories but neither has been able to gain sufficient headway to place the other definitely on the defen sive. The correspondent of a Berlin newspaper states no speedy successes must be expected as movements are slow on account of the heavy snow and the most that can be looked for by Germany Is the forcing back of the Buseians step by step. Although the Bussian forces along the Warsaw front have undertaken an attack, they apparently have been no more successful than were the Germans In their last onslaughts. So far as has been reported, there is no important shifting of positions. In Northern Po land another important battle is under way, with the Issue still undecided. The Bussian Duma adopted a resolu tion expressing the purpose of carrying on the war until the peace of Europe was assured on terms satisfactory to Bussla. It is reported from Geneva that an other Zeppelin has been lost. It is said to have been wrecked in a storm during a flight over the North sea. Another instance of the use of the American flag by a British steamer was reported to-day by passengers on the Orduna whioh arrived at New Tork from Uverpool.. The Orduna is said to have flown the American flag while crossing the Irish sea. The Ball, the Dance The word "ball," as applied to a dancing party, came to bo used in the first instance from an aweient "ball play" given in church by the dean and choir boys of Naples during the Feast of Fools at Raster. At subsequent dancing parties in Naples the dancers threw a ball at one another to tho sound of their own singing. They whirled about in measured time, anil I the sport consisted in loosening hands in time to catch the bail. ELECTION LAW < CHANCES URGED Coatiaaed From First P»««. for nn additional law judfte in Dauphin cotmty, and the Geis«r measure desijt nating mountain laurel as the state flower. Among the bills introduced wore; Mr. Hew, Lancaster —Appropriating 1105,000 for the extension mf agricul ture and home economics at State Col lege. For • Lincoln Tablet Mr. Adams, Luzerne—Appropri ating $3,000 for- the erection of a bronze talblnt bai'k of the Speaker's desk in the House containing Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Mr. Jones, Susquehanna—Accenting a government moasuro for tie exten sion of agriculturaJ work. Mr. Ramsey, Delaware—Repealing the anthracite coal tax bill passed last session.

I Mr. Thonva«, Luzerne—Keeping the j criminal record off juveniles from pub lic inspection. Mr. Uricb, Lebanon —Allowing po licemen who reside in first class town ships to act as constables and collect the fee®. COMMISSION PLAN FAVORED IN COMPENSATION BILL The Brumbaugh workmen's compen sation bill, which has been in process of framing in the Attorney General's Department, is now practically com plete and will be submitted to the Gov ernor for his approval. On final ap proval by him it will be printed and copies handed the legislative commit ' tee created to confer with the Governor on legislation embraced in his "person al platform.'' ! • The Brumbaugh bill directly adopts 1 the commission system. This commis sion will consist of three members, at $6,000 each, who will administer com pensation by settling disputes between : employers and employes regarding | claims. There will also be about a dozen adjusters attached to the com mission, who will travel about the State and investigate cases, i While this will mean the creation of a new department, it is planned to keep the expenses down to a comparatively ; moderate figure. A separate commission will be creat ed to supplement the arbitration body, and will consist of the Secretary of the Department of Labor, the State Treas urer and the State Insurance Commis sioner. These officials will serve with out extra pay, and will be authorized to decide upon the responsibility of li ability companies, in which employes may decide to place their own risks. This method has been decided upon in order to place the State guarantee as far as possible behind compensation. The bill also provides for a State insur ance fund, which may bo utilized by employers. The rate of compensation will be fixed at 50 per cent. COUNTY WANTS MORE FOR CAKE OF INSANE PATIENTS A dozen superintendents of county in sane hospitals met at the Oapatol last night to consider obtaining an increased allowance for the maintenance of in sane patients. Addresses were made by Judge Isaac Jo'hnson, of Delaware, and Dr. f>ank Woodlbury, of the Lunacy Commisssion of the State Board of Charities, and Robert D. Dripps, secre tary of the Public Charities Association of Pennsylvania, on the desirability of the State taking over the care of the insane patients and thus relieve the county hospitals conducted by 'the poor authorities. Resolutions were adopted setting that '"the- cost of nearly all foods, clothing, shoes, etc., together with salaries of attendants, nurses and other employes of county hospitals, are with few exceptions, muoh increased." T'hey set forth further that "the State has no investment in county hospitals and the maintenance cost allowance to such hospitals is fifty cents less per capita weekly than in State hospitals." It is then urged that '' fhe weekly per capita allowance to eountv hospitals from the State should be increased by not le<?3 than twenty-five cents per capita weoklv, and that a committee bo seleirted by the chairman and secretary to draft the necessary amendment to the county care act, and present the same to proper parties for the necessary leg's'lation." The meeting went on record as fa voring "the. application of the civil service principle in the selection anil retention of all officials and employes of the hifjher grade in State and county insane hospitals." WOULD FIX SUPERVISORS' PAY AT RATE 0F $5 A DAY A short session of Wic House of Rep resentatives was hehl late yesterday afternoon for the purpose of reporting bills in order to have a calendar ready for this morning's meeting. Bills in troduced included: Mr. Steedle, Allegheny—"Exempting from borough taxation persons, offices, occupations and professions: fixing oleomargarine license for retailers, ho tel proprietors, dining room and board jing house keepers at 910 per year; amor dm (j school coda so that in aecosd IUNI third-china district*) duly elected auditors or controllers sh*ll audit »e --counts instead of auditors named by the courts.

FINANCE STOCK MARKET DISPLAYS FIRMNESS MJIE OUTSET But Operations Lose Ground Before End of First Half Hour— Routing and Lehigh Valley Centers of At tack Bt/ <4 jjtortaforf Press, York, Kot). 10. —Wall Streak— The stock market displayed some firmness at the outset of to-dkiy'e ep erwtions, Ivut lost ground betfore the end of tlie first half hour, most of tho leni ers being under pressure. Reading and Lehigh Valley were centers of nbtsck, faiiing I and 2 and a half points re spectively, with substantial recession elsewhere. As usual the decline wsus accompanied by unfavorable rumors from abroad. The short interest was active in the movement, which attain ed larger proportions as the session pro gressed. Southern Waal way pfd fell 3 points to 50, its new minimum. Weakness of anthracite shares was associated with the possibility of an adverse decision by the Interstate Com merce Commission, which recently re sumed its inquiry into those properties. Selling of Readiug was extensive, but abated as certain other leaders, uotablv Southeru Pacific, showed a disposition to rise. Bethlehem Steel also reflected a steady demand. Before midday Reading was again freely offered, sell ing down a total of 2% points, the list falling back in sympathy. Steel was the only leader to show relative firm ness. Bonds were easy.

HORSEBACK BIDING It Is a Sport and an Exercise in a Class by Itself When Oliver Wendell Holmes pro claimed the trotter the coming horso and the steed of democratic usefulness, he did not foresee t>lie invention of the automobile. Small blame to hiin. No one else dreamed of it for some score* of years thereafter, but the motor driv en carriage lias caused the learned doc tor'• plausible prophecy to go askew. By all present sigtjs the coming horse, or, rather, the lasting horse, the one which will survive any amouut of me chanical aids to locomotion, is the good saddle animal. Horseback riding is at onee a sport and an exercise, which is without a relative or a competitor. It is like nothing else, and for one who loves it, it can be replaced by nothing else. It is one of the finest aids to digestion ever known. The dictum of the old English physician, "The outside of a horse is the best thing for the inside* of a man," remains trua. With all these advantages, the saddln horse is likely to last till we degenerate into A nation of button puahers. When that degradation is accomplished it won't matter greatly whether we have any desirable animal companionship or not.—Chicago Journal. A Compliment "I've lent Griwpua my garden hose, my lawn mower, my phonograph and my safetty razor, but I had to refuse his last request." "What did he want?" "He wanted to borrow my photo graph to carry on a flirtaition by mail." —'Pittsburgh Dispatch. Curious Oversight "What do you think, Maoda—shall I deliver my address on 'The Ideal Wife' jusrt as I've written itt" "Certainly not. You must rewrite it. I can't see that it fits me at all." ' —Meggendorfer Blatter. 11
