School of Commerce Opens
With Increased Attendance

The educational facilities of com
munity are as important from the COM
mercial standpoint as a city's indus
tries. And commercial schools are
business producers as we'll as instruc-
tors of business methods. Hundreds of
scholars come to Harrisburg every
year from the cities, towns and rural
districts of Central Pennsylvania. A
great railroad center and State capital
has special advantages for promoting
the growth of commercial schools. The
School of Commerce is among the edu-
cational institutions that have had a
school was taken over by the present
management. W., II. Keller, business
manager, and d. L. M. Raker, principal.
The school term opened yesterday
with an attendance for the first day
that gives promise of a greater en-
rollment than any preceding year. Last
year 1877 scholars were enrolled. The
growth of the school has necessitated
an additional room on the fourth floor
to accommodate the typewriter stu
dents, the entire third floor of the
Troup Building having been used for a
number of years. Twenty-Five new
of those who are studying the Steno-
type method. These desks are so con-
structed that they accommodate fifty
students. Sixty visible typewriters of
the most approved models are used, and
six instructors who are specialists in
the respective studies, are employed, in
addition to the directors in charge. A
complete commercial course, including
shorthand typewriting, stereotype and
typewriting. prepares the young folks
for their entry into commercial life.

prints the following account of an
eye witness of the death of Prince
Frederick William of Lippe at Liege:
'On all sides our detachment was
surrounded by Belgian troops, who
were gradually closing in for the pur-
pose of eXterminating us. At the
princes command we formed a circle
eight deep, maintaining a stubborn
defense. At length a strong division
arrived to support us. The prince
raised himself from a kneeling po-
sition and turned to the standard
bearer, who lay prone beside him, COW
ering the standard with his body.
Raise the standard commanded
the prince, so we may be recognized
by our friends
"The standard bearer raised the flag
waving it to and fro. This action i'm
mediateiy brought upon the standard
bearer I'D the prince a violent fusi-
lade. The standard was shot away
and at the same moment the prince
was struck in the chest and expired
instantly"

although on the left flank the allied

WHEN HE is WRONG

II am not sage or seer,
There are MANY problems here
That I couldn't solve correctly If
tried.
That I'm not so very wise
Is a fact 1 recognize,
And it's something that I do not
try to hide.
But in riding TO and fro,
I have noticed as 1 go
Men engaged in wordy conflicts loud
and long,
And a dollar or a dime
will wager every time,
The fellow with the loudest voice
is wrong.
On the trolley cars you'll find
Men of every sort and kind,
And they settle every problem that
is known.
They will quickly put to rout
Every questionable doubt,
And they mock at every answer but
their owr
I'll admit that l don't know
Half the things they say are so,
That I've doubts on many questions
that are strong;
Fut I'm sure it's safe to bet,
If a wager you can get,
That the fellow with tho Ioudest
voice is wrong.
When a man begins to shout
And waves his arms about,
When he voices his opinion in a
shrek;
When he works with lungs and Jaw
And he tries to overawe
His brothers who are mild and sane
and meek,
When he tries to advertise
To the world that he is wise,
And he seeks to get the notice of the
throng;
BY the volume of his chatter,
What the subject doesn't matter,
It is always safe to wager that he's
wrong.

PLAN BOAT CHANNEL
ALONG THE SHORE Of
HARGEST'S ISLAND
Bowman After Personal Inspection
Finds He Must Remove Wall
Around Intake Pipe

Canoe and even heavy -draught mo-
torboats will be able to navigate the
Susquehanna close TO the eastern
shore of Hargest's Island or Island
Park after the channel changing op-
erations in that vicinity have been
completed by City Commissioner H.
f. Bowman, superintendent of public
safety.
The proposed new channel will be
across the city's great intake pipe that
furnishes water to the filter plant and
incidentally to all Harrisburg At
low water, however, 1t is expected that
from twenty-four to thirty inches will
flow over the pipe.
A few hundred feet to the north of
the pipe are huge boulders which OBJ
struct the passage of possible craft
down that side of the river and con-
tribute materially to the speed of the
current. The water swings around
and whirls at such speed as to carry
sand, tiny bits of coal and other debris
close to the mouth of the intake pipe.
To Change Streams Course
Commissioner Bowmans idea is to
change the course of the stream to
divert the flow of sand and other par
ticles from the front of the in
takes mouth, and in order to do
this he means to divert the flow to
close to the shore line and over the
supply pipe This will be done by
blowing the obstructing rocks out of
the river above and changing the
channel.
With the great rocks out of the
way the boatman can easily slip to
the island below independence and
move into the new channel without
fear of striking a snag.
The intakes mouth, which is about
twenty-four feet long and thirty
inches high is shaped like a fiat fun
mel. Around the mouth of the funnel
small wall of stones had been built
with a view to preventing the sand,
tiny coal and debris of other kinds
from being drawn through the mar
rowly grated interstices of the open
ing At that, however, a tiny wall of
sand approximately fourteen inches
high has been piled up IN front of
the mouth of the great pipe while tons
of the sand has been drawn into the
sedimentation beds in the filter plant
by the suction.
Commissioner Bowman, who plod-
ded around the work with the water
up to his shoulders, said he had to
take from thirty to forty gondola car
loads of sand from the sedimentation
beds when cleaning them. This, he
said was all due to the washing and
suction of sand through the intake
Mr.. Bowman's plan now is to open
the small wall around the intakes
mouth and let the water flow through
until all the sand is washed away from
before the big pipe. Then the main
channel will be so diverted as to carry
the debris over the pipe and away
from the mouth of the intake.

ALLIES AND GERMANS
BATTLE DESPERATELY
90 MILES FROM PARIS
British and French Endeavor to
Prevent Success of Ger
man Arms
RUSSIANS LOSE TWO CORPS
Galicia Invasion Complete and
Lemberg Will Soon Be
Evacuated

London, Sept. 2. 1910 A. MA cor
ner of the curtain over the battle
drama in Northwestern France has
momentarily been raised. 1t shows
the allies battling desperately to pre-
vent the success of the German assault
on the upper Disc, less than fifty miles
from Paris.
On the eastern war stage Russia
frankly confesses to disaster to two
army corps and the loss of three gem
erals
Elsewhere the Russian arms seemed
to have triumphed. Galicia has been
successfully invaded and Lemberg will
soon be evacuated, according to re-
ports from the st. Petersburg war
office.
If this is true. the Austrian menace
to Russian Poland will be ended and
the Russian forces can begin to con-
verge for the march on Berlin, the
Russian objective in North Galicia ap-
lparently being Koenigshutte, whence
they can march on Berlin via Breslau.
On the upper Oise the British are
fighting desperately to prevent the
Germans from securing one of the
most direct routes to Paris.
News of this battle reaching here
from two different sources is the first
definite information since the battle
of Mons The battle ragged Sunday
numbers the Germans secured a slight
advantage.
Advance Difficult
Military experts point out that from
the present position on the upper Disc
river the German advance will become
increasingly difficult. owing to the nat
ural features of the country as well as
the artificial defenses that will have
to be encountered.
1t is becoming evident that all along
the western line the allies are playing
for time in the hope that the German
assault will become exhausted.
On the diplomatic side Germany is
making renewed efforts to bring Italy
into her camp by a proclamation
which cites that victory for England
and France will deprive Italy of all
chance of dominating the Mediter-
ranean.
The western coast of Belgium and
the northwestern coast of France are
apparently clear of Germans.
Antwerp has asked for an increased
garrison. The town has also expert
