PENSIONS FOR CLERGYMEN "Money Making on Side" May Be Eliminated, Is Assertion Chicago, April 29.—'Pensions for re tired ministers would have a tendency to eliminate the commercialization of the pulpit through "money making on the side,'' according to Df. W. R. War ,ren, of Indianapolis, Ind., secretary of the 'board of ministerial relief of" th« Disciples of Christ, who addressed the national convention of Conference ■Claimants of the (Methodist Eplscop* Church to-day. Plans are 'being con sidered by the convention to raise a $10,000,000 fund to provide pensions | for retired ministers, their widows and orphans. '' Pensions would help to obtain more and better ministers," said Dr. Warren, "by overcoming the natural opposition of parents, by enlisting the sons of mrn isters who would otherwise have to go into business to care for the parents." < > Steel ton Transfer Office Removed To Trewlck St., Near Front. where Lime and Sand can be ha- seed, Hivner, McXaughton, 'File, Moore, Coleman, Gouse, Albright.

M., Via London, 2.35 P. M.—The Russian occupation of Loubnia, a small Ullage to the northwest of Uzsok Pass, was a decided achievement in the Carpathian campaign, for the reason that it seri ously endangers the important railroad line between the towns of Uzeok and Berezna, a line which made possible the extended Austrian operations in this re gion and at the same time successfully retarded the Russian advance in the di rection of the Uzsok Pass. During the past week, as the Rus sian advance developed in the direction of Uzsok Pass, the Austrians exerted their entire strength to protect this railroad line, affording RS it did an in velnable means of communication be tween the Austrian forces on the Uzsok summit and those operating noar Orosh and Pataka. The seizure of Loubnia gives the Rus sian artillery an opportunity of com manding a part of this railroad.line and virtually disqualifying it from further service. The furious Austrian efforts to re take this village culminated the night of April 26 and the morning of April 27, when they reached the Russian po sitions, but they were forced after a hand-to-hand encounter to retire. The authorities report that in this region, as toll as at Lupkow and Stry, the Austrian troops were not assisted by the Germans, who are said to be concentrating at Cracow and in West ern Galicia. Ftfr reinforcements the Austrian* had to rely upon their own troops from Bukowina and upon men of the landsturm from the Italian bor der. LATE WAR~NEWS SUMMARY C«tlnurd From First Pact. side of the straits, and are advancing steadily. An unofficial dispatch from Athens states that the allies were victorious in a battle on the west side of the penin sula, inflicting serious losses on the Turks and capturing one battalion. The battle of Flanders has passed the high point of intensity and is becom ing less severe. An official Belgian statement speaks merely of the activity of artillery and aviators along the part of the front held by Belgian forces. Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander, has announced that the German advance has been checked definitely. To-day's ' official statements from Paris and Berlin do not indicate that significant changes occurred in yester day's fighting. The French report says Belgian and French troops made pro gress in Flanders, while the German announcement asserts that attacks on the German positions on the west bank of the Yser canal failed.-It is also said the Germans advanced more than 104) yards southeast of Verdun. In the Russian campaign capture by the Germans of a Polish village, is claimed, as well as the occupation of a Russian position near the Warsaw front. This is the first indication for several weeks of fighting of conse quence along this line where occurred some of the most severe engagements of the war when the Germans were at tempting to capture Warsaw. Petrograd attaches importance to the Russian capture of Loubnia north east of Uzsok pass. Possession of this town, it is said, will enable the Rus sians to interrupt the operation of the railroad on which the Austrians have relied for moving troops along the Beskld mountains. It Is reported from-Rome that Italy has reached an agreement with Great Britain and France that, if she enters the war, it will be contemporaneously with a concerted offensive movement against Germany and Austria by all their opponents. The agreement is said to provide also for the territory which Italy is to acquire in event of victory, and for a new and permanent alliance between Italy and the Powers of the Triple Entente. In the Russian campaign new battles are developing in the north, along thf East Prussian border. Petrograd dis patches speak of various encounters, but make no mention of the victory along a twelve-mile front which the German War Office announced yester day. Neither has it conceded the re ported Austrian victory in Spkowina, on the eastern end of the front, which is said to have compelled the Russians to fall back to the border. A Berlin news agency announces that the Austrian-Italian negotiations are progressing toward a satisfactory adjustment and that the most Important points have been settled. Rome advices, however, say that Italy is unyielding and that a representative of the gov ernment has admitted no agreement is in sight. Austria is reported to have stopped all ordinary traffic on railroads along the border for the purpose of rushing in large numbers of troops. ij Every Man Read \\ This ] !

BOW TO GET HEW ISLAND Summary of Wliat Must Be Done Be fore B. J. H. Douglass Can Acquire Land in the Susquehanna Despite assertions to the contrary, it was said at the Department of Internal Affairs this morning, there had been no protest filed by anybody connected with the Harrisburg municipal government against the granting of a warrant for possession of a small newly-formed is land in the Susquehanna river opposite Kelker street to Benjamin J. H. Doug lass, 1606 Green street. Mr. Douglass made his application in December, 1914, for this small island, which contains 89.6 perches. The In ternal Affairs Department referred the application to the State Forestry Com mission, which always has first claim on "newly-discovered" land, and the Commission notified the Secretary of Internal Affairs that it does not want the island. The Internal Affairs Department then advertised ttfe fact that the claim had been made, and after three weeks' advertising, if no caveat against grant ing the claim is filed, and no written prbtest made within thirty days, ap praisers will be appointed V>y the Gov ernor, Attorney General, Secretary of the Commonwealth and Secretary of In ternal Affairs. These appraisers will place a valua tion on the island of not less than $8 an acre, which will be reported to the Board of Property, which has the last say, in case a protest is filed, and, tif none is filed, then the claimant will get the property. City Solicitor Seitz called a"t the In ternal Affairs Department some time ago in relation to tlie Douglass claim, but filed no written protest, and, unless such protest is filed, and it be. shown that Douglass has no legal claim of prior discovery, or that somebody had not filed a claim before him, Douglass will get the island, under the law.
