SENATOR OLIVER
TELLS EXPERIENCES
Pennsylvania Reviews Hardships
He Passed Through While
in Europe
Special to The TELEGRAPH

Washington, D. c.. Sept IA gra-
phic story of hardships and depriva-
tions suffered in the war zone in Eu-
rope was brought to Washington yes
terday by Senator Oliver, of Pennsyl-
vania, who had been marooned in the
troubled regions. The Senator re-
sumed his work in the Senate yester-
day, having landed from the Olympic
at New York on Saturday.
Senator Oliver was refused accom-
modations at a hotel in Paris, where
he had stopped many times before;
his Bank of England notes were re-
fused; he was compelled to climb five
flights of stairs and. with his wife
had to wait on himself after finally
inducing the management of the ho-
tel to give them shelter for a night
The Senator had these experiences
in Paris the night of August 2, which
was the first day of mobilization OF
French troops.
Minimizing the hardships through
which he and Mrs. Oliver passed when
hostilities began, the Senator to-day
recounted tales of discomfort, depriva-
ton of even the necessities of mod
ern civilized life, with few thrilling
experiences which tended to show how
close the realities of war have come to
thousands of Americans marooned
abroad when the conflict opened.

Trick of British Led
Many German Warriors
to Death at Boulogne
By Associated Press

London Sept. 1, 8. 40 a. m.-Wound-
ed men in the hospitals of Boulogne
related 10 the Express correspondent
there incidents of the fighting be-
tween the British and Germans. One of
the men, he says, told of a trick which
the British learned in the Boer war
and was worked very we'll against the
Germans. The story of the incident
follows:
The enemy, before sending their
infantry against our positions, opened
a hot artillery fire. Our artillery re-
piled, at first warmly, and then gun
after gun of the British batteries were
silent.
What's up now?' l asked COM
Irade. There were a few minutes more
of artillery firing from the Germans
and then their infantry came on in
solid formation. We received them
with rife fire Still they came on
and still we moved them down. They
were getting closer and we could
plainly see the dense masses moving.
Then suddenly the whole of our ar
tillery opened fire.
You see, they had not been silenced
at all and 1t was a trick to draw the
Germans up. They went down in
whole fields, for our guns got them in
open ground, and of course, they
soon had enough. 1t was impossible
for those behind to come up past the
dead"

Austrians Lose Heavily
Attacking Russian Forces
BY .4ssocintcd Prcts

London, Sept. l, $40 a. ma dis
patch to the Times from st. Peters
burg gives the following comment on
the Russian operations against the
Austrians:
THE Russian operations against
the Austrians are considered by recog-
nized military writer's to have reached
the stage when decisive victories may
be within reach. The capture of the
railroad center forty miles south of
Lemberg, involves the rupture of rail-
way communication with the Austrian
fortresses on the Oniester and in Bu-
kovna. Thus the southern part of
+Galicla, as well as Bukovina is severed
from the remaining portions of Cali
cia, except by circuitous route across
the Carpathians. AS result the iron
ring is closing around Lemberg.
The losses suffered by the Aus
trians in their desperate attempt to
strike at the vitals of the Russian
position in Poland aggregate tens of
thousands of men. including the Sixth
Austrian corps, which, on it's retreat
between the Western Bug and the
Wiepriz rivers, was almost annihi-
lated"

tinued work on the proposed special
internal revenue billie to meet customs
duty losses caused by the war in Eu-
rope. They hope to have it ready for
submission Immediately after the
President addresses Congress on the
subject later this week. The COM
mitteemen contemplate imposing a
special tax on soft drinks, beer and
patent medicines, and it has been suS-
| gested that levy of five or ten per
cent. be placed on railway tickets and
tickets of admission to theaters, ball
parks and other licensed amusement
places. More than s50,000,000, it was
estimated, could be raised by the ticket
tax while a doubling of the levy on
beer would bring in $65,000,000 more.
Senate Democrats are to take up

London, Sept. /. $50 q. m.-The
Following story of the fighting at Ma
mur was told to an Express reporter
by one of the British wounded, who
was brought here Monday:
I'VE had left the shelter of a little
forest and opened out. Our colonel
warned us that the German infantry
was advancing.
we had hardly extended ourselves
prone along the grass when patches of
| blue and green were seen on the sky
line and soon battalions of the enemy
were made out following each other
at regular intervals.
Our batteries let rip and gouged
holes through them. Bravo shouted
my plantoon commander as he watch
ed through his glasses.
Now the order was given to fix
bayonets. Before the enemy arrived
the artillery fire had increased until
it was an inferno. German aviators
were directing their guns and at times
we fired on aeroplanes. but our shots
were ineffective. Our poor gunners
had an awful time as the German cav
airy got around behind us and charged
, right up to the guns. Very few of
the Germans escaped, however, for
whole platoons rushed to the rescue,
lemptying their magazines as they ran.
"A moment later the Germans
were on us from the front. We let
them come until their breasts rose
above the neighbbring hillock and
then decimated them. They fell back
in confusion and dropped to the
! ground.
Another line came, which we treat
| ed in the same way. Scores of ma
chine guns were turned on US how
ever, and we were ordered to prepare
to charge.
"On the word of command we
sprang from the ground as one man,
and with yell after yell. charged the
advancing Prussians AS we neared
their ranks we fired unfortunately
and only a few remained to cross
bayonets with us. The remainder
rushed off and were shot in the back
as they went. They left more than
| half their regiment on the field in
killed and wounded"

Send Letter to Provost Smith
Steps to establish the finance and

alumni of Harrisburg to Provost Ed

Or. Edgar F. Smith, Provost, Uni

I'VE, the undersigned. representa-

your attention the opportunity for the
University to do a splendid service
for the many thousand worthy and
ambitious young men resident in this
vicinity who are unable to go away to
college, and who are anxious to get a
college education.
1T has been brought to our atten-

Pennsylvania esta blished an extension
department of it's school of finance
and accounts in Wilkes Barre and in
Scranton We understand that this
school has at present nearly 400 stu
dents, and that its success is far be-
yond the most sanguine hopes of the
University.
1T has also been brought to our
attention that the University for ten
years has been conducting an evening
school of finance and accounts and
that during this time $500 students
have been enrolled: and that gradu-
ates of this department are much in
demand for executive positions by the
businessmen of Philadelphia.
I'VE want like school to be estab-

pices of the University.

University in cooperation with the
local alumni organization and with
the assistance of the public ?spirited
citizens of Harrisburg to establish a
school of finance and accounts which
shall duplicate the work of the even
ing school at Philadelphia and that
of the branches already established
in Wilkes-Barre and in Scranton?
I'VE are confident that local sup
port can. be obtained for such an eX-
tension of the University's activities.
There Is in this vicinity a population
of over $1,000 900. Our financial inter
ests are large, and our manufacturing
Establishments many. The necessity
for higher education as a preparation
for success in business life Is gener-
ally recognized.
The University of Pennsylvania is
the only institution in the eastern part
of the State which offers advanced
courses in financial, commercial and
accounting subjects. 1t is the only in
Htitution equipped to give thorough in
struction in the principles which un-
derlie the science of business.
Your representatives have in
formed us that the instruction offered
is given by the same professors and
in the same manner as at the Unlver-
sity in Philadelphia. We feel that the
