RUSSIAN ARM IN DANGER OF QIM CAPTURE I Teutons Seek to Cut Off Line of Communications on the Rear STORES ARE ABANDONED Evacuation of Carpathian Forests Indicates Pan icky Flight By Associated Press Berlin, July 28. The Tageblatt correspondent with the Austro Hun garian armies in southern Gallcia reports that vital railroad communication from Kolomea to Czerno witz is now seriously menaced and threatens to cut off the Russian Eighth army and remnants of the Seventh which escaped across the Dniester. German advance troops are said to be only a day's march from the river sloops. The evacuation of the forest of the Carpathians is already taking on the character of a panicky flight. The capture of the important bridgehead at Halicz, north of Stan islau, forced the Russian army corps to retreat before the Seventh army was given an opportunity to seek safety across the Dniester.

Large stores of military supplies and foodstuffs were scattered along the path of retreat. The civilian population which had taken refuge in the forests is now returning home. Since the fall of Tarnapol sixteen towns north and south of the Dniester and more than a hundred villages have been cleared of Russians. LAST BUILDING SOLD IN CAPITOL PARK Continued From First Page. PftvtAfl warfthnnui nnw llftprl for State storage.

The prospective removal of the Governor's Troop quarters has attracted attention to the armory situation in this city. When the troop returns from active service it will not have any armory and the City Grays' armory is too small for the units of the Eighth. The policy of the State Armory Board is to erect armories only where sites are donated and as the idea is to await completion of Capitol Park extension and then develop the public buildings along the borders the chances of Harrisburg getting any State aid for an armory out of the $1,200,000 appropriation just approved are remote indeed. Stories that the First cavalry may be made into artillery have come here, but no one seems to know what there is to the report. The State has its full quota of field artillery now.

Co opcratc With State Citv Klwtrinian Tliphl and ih managers of the several public utilities, including the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, the two telephone corporations and the Harrisburg Gas Company, are co operating withthe State onthorities in clearing rhe environment of the Capitol of all overhead poles and wires. The hearty co operation of these utility companies is greatly appreciated by the officials at the Capitol, and, working together, it is expected that the last i estige of the overhead system along Walnut street and throughout the Capitol Fark zone will have disappeared with the end of summer. One of the difficulties which confronts the several companies is securing prompt deliveries of cables and underground conduits, but sufficient headway has been made to indicate the successful completion of the general clearance of overhead wires and the forest of poles this year. It is entirely probable that the trunk line of the Bell Telephone Company which extends through the Capitol Park zone and eastward through the city will be placed under ground in order to relieve the Capitol Park area of any obstruction which would interefere with the view from Capitol Hill. A.

W. Brunner, the distinguished landscape designer who is collaborating with Warren H. Manning in 'he plans for transforming the Capitol Park zone, was here this week and will have ready for the approval of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings the drawings and specifications for the elimination of the street level sidewalks and the re grading of the park district in a short time. While nothing definite has been determined, it is believed the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings are of one mind respecting a great viaduct at State street instead of a subway, which is said to be inadvisable, One of the fetaures of the transformation of the park under the appropriation approved by the Governor yesterday will be a dignified entrance to the grounds at State and Third streets instead of the unsightly brownstone conglomeration at that point. The first work that will be done in the Capitol Park area will be the construction of a granite coping at the foot of the new made terrace on Third street from North to Walnut and oh Walnut street from Third to Fourth.

This will mean the widening of Walnut and Third streets to approximately sixty feet and will greatly relieve the congestion which Is rapidly increasing in the central part of the city.

SATURDAY EVENING, WILL BANISH ALL DOUBTSjOF FAIRNESS Continued From First Pace, eral'a office, these lists will not include any enlisted man who enlisted after June 30, but will Include those in membership in the command on April 1, 1917, and all who enlisted between April 1 and June SO, 1917. The regulations provide that the application shall 'be to the eighteen cities in Pennsylvania of thirty thou sand or more population and to counties exclusive of these eighteen cities. Adjutant General Stewart to day issued orders to the commanding officers of each unit in the Guard to furnish him with the unit roll, glv ing the name, post office address.

county and city of each enlisted man These rolls will be made the basis of a recalculation as to credits to be assigned, each city and Colonel Sweeney made it clear that no credits will be permitted for enlistments after June 30. Nor will there be any credit for enlistments in the navy or marine corps. Be cause of the great labor involved there will be change in the rul ing of the provost marshal general'a office which divides enlistment credits between citias having 30,000 or more and counties. IVi effect the new ruling will help the county districts. As the credits now stand all enlistments are given to the cities where the Guard unit was organized, although in many in stances the recruiting was done largely in county districts.

Colonel Sweeney also stated to day that the War Department has agreed to change its credits for enlistments in the regular army in any instance where it can be shown that the quotas demanded haa been based on mistaken figures. Refuse Man Not Registered A Steelton man who was in Canada at the time of the registration of war subjects on June 5, last, and who failed to register, applied at the recruiting office 'here yesterday to enlist in the army, but was refused because he could not produce a registration receipt The applicant promised to enlist and said he would hav a recruiting officer along when he registered so as to satisfy the draft board of his intentions. Draft board Meet All the six Dauphin county draft exemption boards met this morn ing in the City Council chamber in the courthouse to exchange views as to how the draft laws are to be worked out. None of them has yet received the master list of numbers drawn at Washington, but an a greed that the lists probably will be in their hands on Monday by which time they will begin their work. The first three days win be con fined to making five or half a dozen copies of those of the numbers that affect Dauphin county and on the third day notices will be sent out to the drafted men telling them when and where to appear for examination.

It was the opinion of the boards that no conscripts will be exempted or discharged until after they have undergone the physical examination; no matter whether the applicant is crippled, blind, deaf and dumb or dying, 'ine examination will be made for statistical purposes. Of course, men so maimed or afflicted will be exempted or discharged. Examine All Aliens Aliens will be examined physically no matetr whether they are later exempted, so will men claiming industrial exemptions. But the local boards merely will furnish the blanks to men claiming industrial exemptions and will not consider such claims. To make such claims the appeal must be made to the district board within seven days after notice is given to report for examination and the conscripts will be allowed ten days additional in which to file reasons supporting their claims.

In the city, where no conscripts are called for the first army, because Harrisburg already has furnished her quota the draft boards' first work merely will consist of the pre paration of the lists showing the or. der in which the Dauphin county men were drawn in the draft Judges File Their Nominating Papers Judges William Butler, Ches ter county, and J. A. Mcllvaine, Washington county, to day filed petitions to be candidates for renomi mation, Dennis Keefe, Sullivan county associate judge, filed a petition for renomination.

Fernof to be captain and assigned to command the ammunition train and Walter J. Scott to be first lieutenant and battalion adjutant of the Teuth Infantry.

The Governor announced his veto of the bill Including in the Jurisdiction of the Philadelphia municipal court cases of damage for injuries to personal property up to $1,500. The Governor says "The court n.ow has definitely defined jurisdiction and the lawyers of Philadelphia having business before all the courts have pointed out that there is no demand or need for this change, that the present procedure is wholly adequate and satisfactory and that to avoid the confusion of readjustment It is well to let the present practice remain, At noon the Governor's office announced that the Governor had not acted upon the bill to suspend the full crew law during the war. DESTROYING A GERMAN k4 II 1 IV OBSERVATION BALLOON hi St 4 Before battles such as were fought at Messines, Vimy, Arras and the Somme it was necessary to bring down the German observation balloons because they are the "eyes of the artillery." The artist has here drawn a representation of the attack. The British airplane soared high above the clouds till it was just above the stationary balloon. Then swooping down through the clouds, incendiary bullets were fired into the envelope which contined hydrogen.

i The drawing at rthe left shows the airplane coming through the clouds shooting at the balloon. That at the right shows the burning balloon with a number of parachutes for the escape of the observers trailing behind because there was no time to use them. The balloon falls a mass of flames and black smoke to earth while the victorious airplane sal Is away. U. S.

Not Co operating With Allies in Censoring War News From Abroad By Associated Press Washington, D. July 28. At 9.40 o'clock this mornings five hours after its receipt. The Associated Press received from the Committee on Public Information a request to kill the dispatch from a European port announcing the safe arrival of another contingent of American troops. The Associated Press saw no reason for killing the dispatch inasmuch as it disclosed no military" information of a character to betray the location or description of the troops and furthermore because the dispatch had been passed through the official censorship in Europe.

It was generally supposed in Washington and the belief has been shared by many officials, including the army censor and presumably the Secretary of War, that an arrangement had been perfected with the censors abroad. To day's events are the first indication that such is not the case.

The rules in dispute Include the question of preference of the yardmen In promotion to yardmasters or assistant yardmasters; the question of obtaining a rule which would prevent the companies from reinstating men justly discharged in disregard of the rights of other loyal yardmen and committees representing; yardmen and the matter of giving preference to members of the brotherhood in employing yardmen.

SHOW FOR RED CROSS INDIAN FOLLOWS EIGHTH REGIMENT Continued From First Page. When he heard of the border trouble and the sending of the United States troops he decided U. soldiers must be wonderful men, if he could judge from the reports that had come to him at his little cabin by the side of the Northern wilderness. Although he had every oppor. tunltji to go with any of the Canadian regiments then being raised for service along the European front, Bill preferred the United States troops.

With little money, most of 1 a. a. i i mer dear's direction where Texas was said to be Gets to Camp Freights, wagons, and now and then a stolen ride on a passenger train, not to speak of hundreds of miles on foot, and Bill found himself in sight of the tented city of U. 8. soldiers.

He had lost count of time and was a little sore and weary from the long trip but the hardiness of his race had stood him in good stead and a few regular trips to the commissary department nut him in proper shape for a permanent love of army life. fciven the troopers do not remem ber just how it came about but slow Iv Bill" showed a preference for Company of the Eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania. Whether it was be cause or the kindness shown him by Captain Bretz or tlie interest tne troopers of the company manifested In his silent manner and taciturn speech, is not known, but "Bill" soon became a permanent fixture of camp life. When the boys went on long hikes that forced many of them to drop by the wayside from exhaustion, "Bill" went far ahead, true to the Instincts of his race. and ready and alert for danger the other troopers could not feel, Every time a rumor originated the men would be sent home, and those rumors were numerous, "Bill" would become more taciturn nd silent than even.

He realized' that his cnances to accompany them were small and he certainly dlu not want to part from the best friends, of his young life. 'Bill" Uuea Alone on '1'rala When the long hoped for word came, telling tne guardsmen to breaK camp, "Bill" was the only one that did not enter into the spirit of the celebration. The homegoing of the other boys meant to him a loss! of a home he had grown to love during his seven months' stay. Whenj everything was placed on the the chief question was "Are we all here?" After the train had gathered momentum on the desert sireches, "Bill" proved it by appearing from an unthought of place. Those who had the authority to put him off the train winked an eye and did not notice he was there, the others shared rations and delicacies with him and promised to bring him sately to the Capitol City of the Keystone State.

But after the train had crossed the Texan border a railroad policeman forced "Bill" to leave the train. Before the train pulled out from its stop in the middle of a desert region where wis forced to leave, he looked wistfully up at his friends and said: "Never mind, fellows, I'll see you all again." As the cheering troopers watched his short figure grow less in the distance they forgot about their friend, in the joy of the anticipated reception at home. Turns lp Here June 20, Captain Bretz was busy at the armory getting things in shape for the call to arms. A familiar voice chirped from the stacks of bedding. "Hello, Captain Bretz.

Guess you haven't forgotten me." No, indeed! The Captain had not forgotten his friend and showed it by taking the Indian home with him and giving him some food such as "Bill" had never tasted in the border camp. When, asked his intention in coming to Harrisburg he insisted that he knew the men would be called into active service soon and that he meant to accompany them across the "Big Water." He Wanted to go as art enlisted man, and thought of a thousand reasons why he should be accepted. The Captain Insisted he was much too small but gave his promise that he should accompany the men as a camp follower. As soon as the troopers went into camp on the Island, "Bill" again started to make himself popular with the men. Nothing is too much trouble for him to do and any little service he give tq a tired man is one of his greatest pleasures.

Although he wouldn't say much this morning he insisted he didn't want to be advertised, troopers say he boasts he will do his fighting at night and without a gun. He declared he liked Harrisburg but liked an army camp better where there, was no city to spoil the life. Dorsett and Hallowell Market Bureau Director! Secretary of AgricultureCharles E.

"The Empty House" (Macmlllan) is apparently to be one of the most discussed novels of the summer season.

The nature of its plot and the unbroken chain of incidents which lead up to a surprising climax are such as to recommend the. story to those whose first demand of summer fiction is that it shall be exciting. One critic, in fact, pronounces The Empty House" "Sensational!" "There is an argument in it, to be sure, cen. tering around the problem of the modern childless woman. But if you do not want to be botheredwith arguments, you can ignore it.

Either way you have a fascinating tale. "Fifes and Drums," the new Vigilantes book, (Doran) has no intention of supplanting the good old songs and poems.

Prospects of "meatless days" loom oh the horizon and we may all have to be vegetarians wlllynilly. Still.

One of the most popular cults or faiths in Germany to day is Chris tian Science, and it is interesting to read in Carl W. Ackerman's "Ger many: the Next Republic?" (Doran) that members of the "Mother Church" have pparentlv suffered less from the food shortage than many other Germans.

German Christian Scientists, says Mr. Ackerman, have organized a semiofficial club for the purpose of buying all the extra food possible. Then; they devise and' store what they want for the ''siege" the time when food will be scarcer than it is to day.

Married men who have been asking daily information as to the easiest way for them to get Into real army life will now have an opportunity to enlist as cooks or bakers. They will first have agree to maintain the family they leave at home, but as cooks and bakers are rated higher than enlisted men, it Is said the married man who rated as either can keep a family easily.

John S. Geist, of Willlamstown, was married at Gettysburg to day Back of that simple sentence lays quite a tale. The story goes that John and his best girl have Intended get married on this date for some time, but John was quite determined that be should never be accused of "hiding behind a woman's skirts." Recent orders from Washington Indi cate that men who get married even I this late date will be 'exempted from the draft. John did not want be exempted from the draft, he did want to get married. He did hot like the thought of, getting married and then being forced to leave his new bride.

They finally decided the most, honorable thing to do would be for Gelst to enlist first and then send for his fiancee and be married at camp. He passed the necessary examinations and was sworn in early this week and sent to Gettysburg. This afternoon he laid aside the rifle long enough to take another, more serious and mind ing oath than the one that made him soldier.
