LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Caatlnuril From First Pave.
ly Is as far from a decision as at any
time since the Austrians, with their
German reinforcements launched the at
tack. 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.

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

foods, clothing, shoes, etc., together
with salaries of attendants, nurses and
other employes of county hospitals, are

End of First Half Hour— Routing

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.
