CITY WILL REDUCE
FIRST IMPROVEMENT
DEBT TO S555, 100
Bond Series of $36, 400 of 1902
Issue to Be Redeemed
Tomorrow

BY redeeming another series of
s36.400 worth of improvement bonds
tomorrow Harrisburg will reduce its
bonded Indebtedness under the first
public Improvement loan to S555, 100.
The series that is to be cashed to-
morrow is the eighth and is due Sep
tember /. 1t is a part of the loan of
S1,090.000 which was authorized in
1902 and marked the first radical step
the capital city of Pennsylvania really
made toward it's improvement.
OF that S1,090,000 just $4,000
was expended in the construction of
the filter plant, $365,000 was spent for
the construction of sewers, including
the Paxton creek interceptor, $50, 900
was provided for the river dam,
s250,000 for parks and 100000 for
street intersectional paving.
In 1907 the first instalment OF
s1s0,000 was paid off and thereafter
each year the city redeemed SS6.4OO
worth at a time up until last year,
when S35. 100 was redeemed, and thus
far in 1914 S1.40O has been redeemed
800, $500 and $1,000 having been
cashed in January. March and June.
To date S39S.500 of the million and
ninety thousand dollar debt has been
settled and with the series that falls
due tomorrow the debt will be fur
ther decreased by total of S434,900.
Which leaves a net balance of the
debt of s555.1OO.
All told the city treasury expects
to pay out something like 100000 in
public Improvement bond redemptions,
interest on other Improvement bonds.
etc. This includes the redemption of
the improvement series. In addition
to this the treasury will pay off some
S35,200 in assessment bonds for street
paving and grading.

of a baker and wine merchant at Rue
Albouy and Rue des Ninaigriers; two
on Quai de Valmy, one of which did
not explode, while the other struck

Rue MARGIN, neither of which eN-
ploded.
THE aviator. who signed himself
Lieutenant Won Heidssen. dropped

1.-The German army is at the gates
of Paris; you can do nothing but sur
render"
'It is horrible. It is frightful!' eX-
claimed United States Ambassador
Herrick when seen after the aviator
had hurled the bombs on the city.

Russian Reseruists
Get Six Weeks LeaUe

London, Aug. 81, 5.29 a. m-The
ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Post. discussing the military situation
in Russia, says:
THE relative situations of Germany
and Russia, after a month of war, are
shown admirably in contrast by the
German action in summoning school
boys to the colors and Russia's de-
cision to-day to grant six weeks leave
of absence to the reservists of the 1907
term of service.
These reservists have recently been
withthe colors at different depots
brushing up their military knowledge
preparatory to a call to the front.
To-day It was found possible to allow
them to return home for a nominal
term of six weeks. They are to hold
themselves in readiness to respond to
the next call
'It is reported that some of the
men took the permission to return
home most grudgingly. as they had
counted on a quick advance to the
front"

He'd Rather Hit the
Pike Than String Beans

Hot dusty roads to travel for a GER
tanty with three square meals a day
and a bed at night as mere possibili-
ties are preferable to-stringing beans
at the county almshouse to quote one
inmate of that institution who appeal
ed to Poor Clerk John +. Guyer with
bitter complaint of what he consid-
cred a plain case of mans inhumanity
to man.
The appellant had been confined in
the hospital and during his GONZALES
cense wasn't of course, required to
work. Finally Steward S. f. Barber
brought him to time and suggested
that he do some light housework-
preferably stringing beans. This was
met with indignant refusal.
"If you don't string beans you'll
have to hit the pike" declared Mr..
Barber firmly. tHitting the pike is the
vernacular for leaving the aims
house,.
"Ill hit the pike" grimly announced
the rebel.

Tells of Conditions in Belgium
When He Departed
BY Associated Press

London, Aug. 81. 1.5S p. M.-Arno
Bosch. correspondent of the maga-
gine Worlds Work. who went into
Belgium some DAYS ago, arrived in
London to-day from Brussels, which
city he left last Thursday. He said
to-day that John T. McCutcheon. of
Chicago; Irving Cobb of New York,
ana Mr. Hanson, of the Chicago News,
were safe in Brussels when he left.
Referring to the military situation in
Belgium. Mr.. DosCh said:
The German automobile trucks are
a marvel Equipped with sCythes, they
NOW right through hedges and wire
fences If the roads do not suit the
drivers. These trucks are heavily ar
mored and they are able to resist any
thing except artillery fire. They en-
able the German forces to make forty
miles a day. The number of these
trucks seems unlimited.
1t Is estimated that 100000 troops
nave made their way through Brussels
ana that 100000 moved south of
BRUSSELS. The troops which passed
through BRUSSELS were later engaged
with the British forces. Only a small
detachment of Germans was left in
the Belgian capital.

ported from Belgium" Mr. Dosch went

records, al second hand, a conversa-
ton with a German officer from Brus-
selc, who said that frantic efforts
were being made to inhict a crushing
blow on the allies, especially on the

success achieved by the German army,

among many German soldiers that
they are fighting against too great
odds.
Despite all efforts to conceal the
news from Prussia, 1T is stated. infor-
nation of disquieting character re-

Namur and Liege, en- route for Ger
man Holland.

Purchase of about three-duarters

Calder fronting Putnam street and
adjoining the Mccormick estate plot
at Sycamore street, may be suggested
to City Council tom orrow in connec-
tion with the proposed purchase of the

This highway is the rear way to the
Calder ground and the owner 1t Is
understood, doesn't like to relinquish
his right of way in the street unless
the ground is purchased. He offers this
at the same price as was quoted for
the Mccormick lot and this will mean
an additional expenditure of S1.S75.

tary critic writing for his paper, the

may be frightened by the possible in

He declares. first. that in 1870 the
capital was held for nearly five months
under conditions much different than
those of to-day.
Second, the Germans had free dis

through railroad lines while at present
they have not yet been able to touch
the Eastern fortified frontier and have
been driven back of Mortagne, north
of Nalencienes.
Third, their sole line of communi-

at this point so precarious that it can
be destroyed in a moment.
