6 MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 28, 1916. Aboard (he Health Wagon JET your boy or girl enjoy the healthy outdoor exercise by buying a bicycle from HEAGY BROS. 1200 N. THIRD STREET i Open Evenings HEARS OF FIRST AND LAST CALL OF THIRSTY Continued From First Page campaign of th i city's churches and the Dauphin ct i.ty law and order league and the No License league Tlie Mingle case was the seventh to be considered and it followed a hearing on the remonstrance against the re licensing of Benjamin A. Strip lin's new location at 945 North Seventh street.

The Sign o' the First and Last Following the hearing in the Mingle case, the remonstrance against re licensing Edwin S. Miller, 433 Market street, was taken up. All told thus far less than a dozen remonstrances are yet to be heard and it is confidently expected that the testimony in these hearings will have been heard by Wednesday or Thursday. The privilege granted in 1915 to sell liquor expires on Wednesday and if the court has not decided in the remonstranced cases by that time, the bars will have to shut down. The remonstrance filed against the Washington Hotel, Cowden and Walnut streets, John A.

Brougher, proprietor, has been withdrawn. The Tip to the Thirsty Mingle's saloon is the only rum emporium east of Cameron street; 11s gets its name by virtue of the sign that swings over the pavement from the door of the hostelry. On the side facing toward the western end of the city is the message of warning to the thirstily inclined citizen on his way to the "dry" section of Harrisburg "Last Call." On the side of the sign facing toward the east there is a message of greeting, as it were, to the townward bound citizen "First Call." Drank Beer and Ate Tripe The principal complaint against the hostelry was the fact that liquor had frecmently been sold to men who were intoxicated. One particular incident n3 related by the Rev. Harvey Klaer referred to a drunken man who lolled across the bar and drank beer and ate cold tripe.

The Striplin hearing was concluded shortly before noon. The high light in the remonstrance was testimony to the effect that Striplin at his present place, the Hotel Leroy, permitted women to solicit men from table to Through an interpreter a foreigner told of how a woman had approached his table and asked him if "he didn't want a He wasn't certain, however, that Striplin was in the room at the time.

Bell Phone SUBMARINE WAR TO BE CONTINUED Continued From First Page Austrian embassy, followed Count Von Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing's office and conferred a few minutes. No statement was made as to his visit but it was understood he told Mr. Lansing Austria's position was the same as Germany's. The note at the outset reiterates the previous pledges which were given on September 1, and October 5, last year, for the safety of unresisting liners and then goes on to say the German government does not believe those assurances have been modified by the new memorandum.

Must 'of Resist During the negotiations over the Lusitania, it says, no mention was made of the armed merchantmen, and "hat the United States in one of its notes on the Lusitania mentioned unarmed merchantmen. Attention then is called to the assurances previously given which it is stated that liners will not be sunk without warning," provided they do not offer resistance. Attention also is called to the statement of the American government in its notice to port authorities that the presense of armament on board a merchant vessel creates the presumption that the vessel is armed for offense. It is stated that a submarine' commander cannot be expected to warn an enemy merchantman which has a right to fire on the submarine which warns it and the German government sets up the contention that equipment and intention to resist ar warning given by a submarine does not come within the definition of defensive armament. Germany contends that a similar viewpoint was taken by the United States and that it secured assurances from the Italian government that its armed merchant ships leaving Amer lean ports would not fire on suh marines which warned them, Question V.

S. Stand The note then sets forth that the German government did not issue its new instructions to submarine commanders until after it had come into possession of confidential instructions by the British government to the com manders of British merchantmen. It is denied that armed British mer chant ships of any description are peaceful traders and It is declared that the armament on board all of them is to be used especially for purposes of attack. The charge is made that Austrian submarines also have been attacked by armed British merchantmen, which the note declares are not conforming and have no intention of conforming, to the assurances given to the United States by the British government in a memorandum of August 25, 1914, by Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador. The German government says it cannot see how the American government in consideration of these facts, can regard armed British merchantmen as peaceful trading ships.

The note makes it clear that the Berlin government believes its new instructions to submarine commanders are In accord with the viewpoint expressed by the States in its memorandum proposing a modus Vivendi tc the entente allies, for the disarmament of merchant ships. Unarmed Shiis Safe It declares that German submarine commanders have been so instructed that they will not destroy a merchant ship on a question of armament unless it is known positively that such armament The declaration that previous pledges will not be revoked also is formally given. The efforts of the United States to have the belligerents agree to a modus vivenidi, which would cause all mer chant ships to be disarmed it is de clared, are welcomed by Germany. Then follows a declaration that the German government will no longer allow its submarines to be made the object of attacks in violation of the principles of international law and that, therefore, the new instructions will hot be postponed or modified. Sidestep Dcfination Appended to the communication, which was signed by Count Von Bernstorff, was a list of about twenty incidents where it is charged German and Austrian submarines have been attacked by merchantmen armed ostensibly for defensive purposes.

At no place in the communication is it1 suggested that American citizens be warned to remain off armed merchant ships and the question of what constitutes defensive armament is not brought up although it is admitted in various quarters that such a question probably will be raised. Secretary Lansing is understood to have advised neither of the Teutonic diplomats what the views of the United States would be toward the communication. It is understood that the note would be brought to the at tention of President Wilson before night and that nothing definite regarding it would be decided until after it had been submitted to the cabinet to morrow.

RING IS THROWN AROUND GERMANS Continued From First Page right flank, while the French attacks on Fort Douaumont were i epulsed, The French themselves do not claim the recapture of this outlying defense of the main fortress, but declare that the Germans, who had gained a foothold to the east and west of the position, were being hard pressed, maintaining themselves with difficulty. Now that the Italians have evacuated Durazzo, their military forces so far as Albania is concerned will be confined to the vicinity of Avlona, eighty miles to the south, according to Italian newspapers.

Durazzo is declared to have been held merely as a base for the rescue of the remainder of the Serbian army and was relinquished when that purpose was effected, but Avlona, near the entrance to the Adriatic, is regarded as of the greatest strategic importance. French Lines in Vicinity of Verdun Holding Firm; Tide of Battle Changing By Associated Press Paris, Feb. 28. So far as the French official report of this afternoon shows the French lines in the immediate vicinity of Verdun are holding firm. The German attack is developing along the front to the east and southeast.

At Fort Douaumont where the fighting hasbeen heaviest, the situation is unchanged. The fortress itself apparently is still held by the Germans. In the village of Douaumont, a few hundred yards from the fort there was a furious struggle last night. The war office announces that German attempts to capture the village resulted in failure. Southeast of Verdun, over the line bending south to St.

Mihel, the Germans are pressing the attack. The French statement reports a futile German attack against Manheulles, ten miles southeast of Verdun, which may indicate an advance in that quarter, although the precise location of the front in this section has not been made known. German troops, by a surprise attack, have been successful In entering certain advanced French trenches near the Navarin farm, in the Champagne district. In the region to the north of Verdun the bombardment has continued with particularly in the central sector and on our right. Fort Closely Evacuated German forces yesterday evening made several attempts to capture the village of Douaumont Their efforts were broken by the resistance of French troops who withstood the most furious assaults.

The situation at the Fort of Douau mont is without change. This fort is closely encircled. In the Woeve district the Germans yesterday evening and last night as sumed an attitude of greater activity. The railroad station at Eix, after hav ing; hands several times, finally remains in possession of the French. All the efforts of the Germans against Hill No.

255, near Eix, were without result. A German attack against the French positions at Manheulles re sulted in complete failure. French artillery is replying with energy to the bombardment of the Germans along this entire front. Titanic Struggle Impetuous counter attacks by French troops north of Verdun in which the Germans were thrown back from many positions conquered by them during the first four days of the battle, according to reports from the front, are considered as inaugurating a second phase or the great action under conditions most favorable to the defenders Premier Briand told rcpre. sentatives of the press to day how the tide was turned.

"Caught between two barring fires," said M. Briand, "covered with shrap nel on all sides, attacked by our fresh divisions surging upon the field of battle at an unexpected moment, the Germans saw their efforts stopped short. The struggle was a titanic one. Our heroic troops went into the melee frantically. Our light and heavy artillery dug sanguinary furrows in the compact ranks of the Germans.

"Finally exhausted, their ranks decimated, the German armies retired under our furious center attacks. We have regained the advantage. In stalled upon formidable positions our heroic soldiers remained masters of the fields of battle."
