ROTARY CLUB FOR
NEW COMMERCE BODY
President Musser Sends Letter
Telling Why Organization
Should Be Formed

Commentator of the proposed
disbursements organization is being re-
ceived from all sides by the temporary
committee charged with the prelimi-
naries incident to the formation of the
association on Wednesday evening.
A letter received by the committee
from John S. Musser, president of the
Harrisburg Rotary Club, is in line with
the comments heard. The letter is as
follows:
PERSONALLY, the writer feels that
Harrisburg would be taking a retro
grade step and a very decided retro
grade step. If 1t was not represented in
a general and q decided way by such
an organization as is planned. Fully
realizing what advertising of our Nty
means, having experience through an
other organization of which Harris
nurg has obtained quite q little pub
iicity, we firmly believe that Harris
burg should maintain a permanent and
effective organization, under whatever
name may be chosen. and Harrisburg
itself given every opportunity to real
ize from the benefit of this advertising.
It does not follow that each individual
will receive direct benefit from an or
ganlzation of this kind, but we all,
collectively, whether we live in Har-
risburg or its immediate vicinity are
d1IeCIeu very H,uCu ny WHdIeNeT hloNe-
ment that may attain to Harrisburg
as a city.
"I sincerely hope to see this organi-
zation started with a permanent and
effective party of live-wires who are
willing and able to do something for
Harrisburg and you may count on the
writer doing his share.
wishing you all compliments of the
season, 1 am.
Every truly yours,
JOHN S. MUSSER. President"

Dear, Bud;
The Debating Society of Engine
House No. 2, resolved that you should
turn over new leaf and make q reso-
luton giving poor jeff a chance-not
giving him a black eye every night in
the Telegraph-as we think It no more
than fair to allow little jeff to get
lab at Mutt and turn the tables on him.
1t has been called to our attention
time and time again that we should
notify you to let up on Little jeff and
soak Big Mutt good and hard
We hope you will give this matter
your full consideration.
Yours very truly,
MAITZY,
Acting Secretary.

irving here yesterday on the steamship
l.usitania, from Liverpool say that the
dreadnought Audaeious reported sunk of
the Irish coast, has been raised and Is
now in Harland and Wolf dry dock at
Belfast undergoing repairs. According
to j. j. Spurgeon, on OF the passengers,
this report is generally current in Liver
pool and is accepted as true by those in
the inside, although the same degree Of
secrecy is maintained as to salvage OPP
erations as was the ease regarding the
sinking OF the hattleship and the attend
ant rescue of her men by the steamship
Olympic.
The report is that the Audacious did
not sink in the spot where she was left
by the Olympic. but that other vessels
succeeded in drawing her into shallow
water. where the hole in her bottom was
patched sufficiently to permit her being
towed to Belfast.
The passengers on board included

MOSLEM UPRISING
NOT YET GENERAL
Further Reports of Russian
Success Against Germans
Are Received from Petro-
grad, but They Have Not
Been Confirmed Officially

England is confronted with the neces-
sity of energetic action, according to ad-
vices early to-day from Berlin, to pro-
tect her interests in the near East. Re-
port from Cairo to Berlin is to the effect
that 10000 Turkish ttoops are on the
march toward the Suez canal. In the
hostile army opposed by long lines of
British forces in trenches, it is said,
there are 10000 Bedouins.
Interest attaches to this report chiefly
because of the recent proclamation of the
sultan of Turkey calling upon Moham-
medans the world over to rise to arms
against Great Britain and the other
members of the triple entente. Thus far
there have been no indications that the
proclamation has led to uprising affect
ing British interests elsewhere, although
on several occasions there have been re-
ports from Berlin of dissensions in In
dia.
An official communication from the
Russian army of the Caucasus tells of
further heavy fighting by Russian forces
which have invaded Turkey but it gives
no indication of the outcome.
The situation in Russian Poland is as
much of a mystery as ever. Private dis
patches from Petrograd make further
statements that Russia has overwhelmed
the Germans, but it is not confirmed of
feially. Grand Duke Nicholas the Rus
sian commander, reports successes in sew
eral engagements but says nothing to in
dicate that a decisive blow has been
struck.
On the western battlefelds there was
continued calm. The British feet is said
to have resumed the bombardment of
German positions on the Belgian coast.
Along the front the fighting apparently
is limited to small skirmishes.

that can be conferred on a general. The
presentation was made in the presence

bers of the general staff.
In making the presentation President
Poincare said the simple medal, which
was the emblem of the highest military
virtues and which was worn with equal
pride of illustrious generals and humble
soldiers. was a mark OF the nations
gratitude 20 their eommander-in-chief.
NJ Poincare added that he associated

| British submarines, Mr.. Churchill said
could not score, as the German ships did
not come out to fight, but he added that
the British torpedo boat destroyers had
proved their superiority in gun power,
n fact that was unknown before Che
war.
As for building, the first lord said,
England would add Is capital ships TO
her fleet before the end of 1915 to Ger
hRny's three. In fact, he declared, Eng
land could lose one superdreadnaught
monthly for year and still maintain
her superiority over Germany in these
ships. Light cruisers, Mr.. Churchill con-
tinued, were being rapidly added TO the
British fleet and England had commits
stoned since the commencement of The
war more than Germany had had de-
stroyed or interned. This number, in
Guiding the Breslau, he said, amounted
to six.
The loss of British merchant ships,
the first lord said, was loss that had
been anticipated by the admiralty. New
England had been able, by vir-
tue of its sea power, to draw from all
over the world for the cause Of the al
lies everything that was needed, incIud.
ing an abundant supply of munitions,
while deficiencies in these commodities
were beginning clearly to show in the
gnemy's military organization.
Mr.. Churchill declined to discuss such
topics as the naval engagement off Hell |
goisnd, the destruction of the British
,ruisers Monmouth and Good Hope off |
he coast of Chile and the British naval |
expedition to Antwerp prior to the fall |
If the Belgian fortress, claiming such |

erned, and which could further be re-
trfcted and controlled
The reason Great Britain was not able
