public utilities, ratified by the voters in
the referendum. Thirty days late. or Oc-
tober 30, the governor nominated the
commissioners.
Recently there has arisen the opinion
that the law provides that the nomina-
tions shall not be made until after 30
days instead of lin 80 days after" If
such is the case the nominations were
made one day too early and, consequent
ly. confirmation, which demands seven
days notice, could not take place on
Friday.
Today the governor will make the
nominations certain by again posting the
names of the commissioners on the nomi-
nations card at the State House. these
nominations will then come up for con-
frmation at the regular meeting of the
Governor and Council November 10.

ports. 1t is definitely announced that
the Germans have given up their po-
sitiops along the User, having been
driven out there by the flooded coun-
try and the gun fire of the allied
troops and warships.
The Germans, however. have kept
up their attacks on the allies lines
around Ypres, where the British
troops are fighting. Although there
is evidence that the new main effort Of
Emperor Williams forces to break
through at this point has not really
commenced, the Germans continue to
bring up reinforcements and under
the eyes of the Emperor are preparing
to make another big attempt to get
through to the coast.
Military men here say that the al
lies have just as good means for bring
ing reinforcements to their lines as
have the Germans and express conf
dence that a new attack will prove
as fruitless as previous ones.
The Indian troops and the pick OF
the ENGLISH territorial forces have dis
tinguished themselves in the fighting
and come il for some compliments
from Gen. French.
For the trend OF events on the Fast
Prussian frontier reliance has to be
placed entirely in the Russian reports
as the German headquarters says
nothing about it. The Russians. &C
cording to a Petrograd report, have
successfully met a German offensive
movement from East Prussia and the
Germans are now retreating across
their own frontier, leaving large guam
titles OF arms and ammunition behind
them

CHANCES ASPECT
OF SHIPPING ON
PACIFIC OCEAN

San Francisco. Nov. 4.-The victory of
the German squadron over the British off
the coast of Chile places a new aspect
on the naval situation in the Pacific, it
was pointed out by observers today. For
the present at least, it definitely shifts
command of the southern waters to the
Germans, and until there has been an adj
justment of forces will make itself felt
in the movement of all cargoes between
the Pacific coast and Europe.
Which way the Germans will elect to
turn is speculative, but they are free to
move northward to the Panama canal or
to continue southwark and to the Straits
of Magellan and the route around the
Horn.

Powers Taking Action

The Powers which the Ottoman
government thus defied are already
taking warlike action against Turkey.
The British have destroyed Fort Ak
abah In Arabia; the Russians have in
yaded Asia Minor; and the Anglo
French fleet Is bombarding the forts
of the Dardaneiles.
Now that Turkey has aligned her.
self among the nations at war. spec
ulation Is rife as to what the other
Balkan powers will do; Greece is said
to be preparing to take sides with
the Allies. while Bulgaria has given
assurances Of her neutrality. Bull

Germans Near England
Next to the Turkish situation, the
appearance of German warships off
the coast of England is causing most
of the discussion in this country to-
day. There is a disposition among
naval men to believe that no serious
raid was intended. but that the Ger
mans hoped to inc uce British wa
ships to follow them and, by laying
mines as they retired, to catch some
of the bigger ships. as they did the
submarine Do.
The fact that the Germans did lay
mines seems to indicate to the naval
experts here that the ships engaged
in this work were old ones. These ex-
perts argue that Germany would not
take such risks with new vessels. AS
If to prove their contention, the ex-
perts say the firing at the British
cruiser Halcyon, which resulted in
slight damage to that vessel, showed
that the Germans were not armed
with modern guns.
The official reports of the fighting on
land as issued today recorded only
advances at various points and re-
pulses of the enemy's attacks at 9TH
ers. There is, in fact, no great change
in the situation according to these re-

QUARANTINE NOW
OVER SIX STATES
U. S. Dept of Agriculture Announces Record
Outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease

Washington, Nov. 4.--The worst out
break of foot and mouth disease ever
known IN the United States is the
department of agriculture's estimate
of the livestock epidemic which has
forced federal quarantine over six
states and threatens a temporary re-
duetion of food supply. An emergency
appropria ton bill by Congress may be
requested for the campaign to sup
press the epidemic. It was said to-
night it would be a week before they
could forecast the extent to which
the food supply would be affected. The
quarantine does not prevent the ship
Iaent of stock from unaffected dis
tricts to slaughter houses within the
quarantined area and there is no en-
barge against the shipment of dress
ed meat.
Added to Quarantine
New York and Maryland were added
to the list of quarantined states today.
A department of agriculture statement
announcing this said:
THE list of states now quarantined
by federal authorities includes New
York, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan. H.
linois and Pennsylvania. In addition to
this restrictions have been placed up
on Interstate shipments from Ohio,
although no cases have as yet been
found in that state There is reason to
hoy, hot fnfa tAI e,t1 al
may have been sent into Ohio.
THE outbreak which is the first in
the United States since 1908, is regard
ed as the most serious of any that the
United States has yet experienced
Not only has it already spread over an
extensive area, but it's virulence seems
to be above the average.
Shipments Prohibited
Interstate shipments of cattle
sheep and swine are absolutely pro-
hibited from the states now quaran-
tined. Stock cannot even he sent
from one infected state into another"
The discovery of 600 infected cattle
in the Chicago stock yards was re-
garded as the most serious develop
ment in the situation.
An outbreak in New York state has
occurred among a half dozen herds
in the Buffalo stockyards. The disease
was brought there, it was believed, by
a shipment of cattle from Niles, Mich,
the place of origin of the present cpl
denic. Even should the epidemic not
leap beyond the bounds already mark
ed by it, some three months will pass
before meat of the guarantees now
imposed will be lifted, according to
department officials.

TEACHES FARMING
TO THOUSANDS BY MAIL

More than $4,000 men and women
Of Pennsylvania who could not find
time or the funds to attend college
have studied agriculture by cores

College. About fifty per cent of them
have completed the courses, and were

Professor T. 1. Mairs, who has

attention were: poultry raising, farm
bookkeeping, gardening, fruit growing
and general agriculture. He added
that the new course in cooking is
rapidly gaining in popularity.

RED CROSS ANNIVERSARY

- RNBST BICKNELL, national di-
n rector of the American Red Cross,
- announces the fiftieth anniver-
sary of that beneficent society.
How splendidly 1t has fulfilled ana
is fulfilling the mission it was designed
to accomplish is written on every page
of its history and across the bloody
battlefields of Belgium, France and
| Poland to-day
One stands in awe and admiration
at the magnitude of its wonderful
| achievements, having been wrought
by the energetic. seemingly never -tiring,
workers of this organization for one
| half century. The grandeur of its
work since its reincorporation in 1905
can be suggested in a sentence. There
have been over seventy-five disasters
caused by earthquakes. volcanic erup-
tions. fires, floods, famines, mine ex-
plosions and wars, in this and foreign
countries, for the relief of which the
American Red Cross alone has received
and expended and directed the ex-
penditure of about $4,000, 900, includ-
ing donated supplies.
The Red Cross is willing to place its
experience and organization at the
service of any community so crippled
by disaster that 1t is unable to cope
with the problems of relief and re-
| habilitation with which it is con-
fronted.
And truly. if any society or organ
| ization ever had reasons for rejoicing
in its anniversary of golden jubilee, it
most justly is the Red Cross, which is
, now looking back upon a glorious past
half-century of blessed and universally
acknowledged activity.
A glance into the history of the Red
Cross shows that in the earliest stages
of its infancy it was confronted by a
task, literally the same as now, only
on a smaller scale. Then, too, it dealt
with the horrible consequences of a
! devastating war. which, however, in
comparison to the one raging at pres
ent fades into insignificance.
And now, since the arms of the
European powers are clashing and the
combat already has been carried on
tOO lOnS 1OF lHe pelllSerenIS 10 a1OrO
immediate relief to countless numbers
in utter distress. one may justly be-
lieve that the Red Cross will, in its
triumphant year of golden jubilee, sur
pass all former records of achieve
ment.
This war will greatly increase the
demands for money and self-sacrificing
men and women to carry on THEN
philanthropic work. Thopsands of
ill-fated people will thank and bless
the Red Cross in many years to come
for what it has done to and for them,
and ultimately those who have assisted
the Red Cross with dollars and cents.
All who can should Join in the con-
tribution of money to this society so
that it may be capable of bearing the
unusual strain and be prepared to an.
swer the unending appeals of our suf-
fering, distressed fellow-beings

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tions; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and ihe inhamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is Scott's Emul-
sion. It drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.

A CTTY FORESTER

YVIHILE the Telegraph has
M strongly favored the accept
w ance of the shade tree COM
mission law by the munici.
pality. it has found among citizens and
officials a relentless opposition to the
measure. For the most part this oppo-
sition comes from those who believe
that the law is too drastic and vests
in the commission arbitrary and un-
reasonable powers in the exercise of
which there might be, as these people
believe, great personal hardship.
As compromise measure there was
introduced in City Council yesterday
an ordinance creating the office OF
city forester, under the direction of
the Department of Parks and Play
grounds. Whether this arrangement
will be satisfactory depends entirely
upon the scope of the ordinance and
the authority with which this official
is vested. His power should be clearly
defined, and If, after a reasonable trial
of the proposed plan, it proves futile
and of no effect. it will then be abso-
of the shade trees of the city that the
shade tree commission law be adopted
by Harrisburg.
This newspaper has frequently called
attention to the immediate need of
official supervision of the planting and
care of the shade trees of the city and
the discussion of the proposed Shade
Tree Commission. as provided for in
an act of the Legislature, has con-
tinued with no end in sight. Owing
to the situation, the creation of the
office of forester may be of some bene-
fit even though it is not all that the
friends of the trees had hoped for. It
ought to be clearly understood, how
ever, that the proposed caretaker of
the trees must be a thoroughly quail
fed tree expert. 1t would be an insult
to the friends of the shade tree move
ment to place in such position some
person absolutely without qualifications
or training for the important work
which he would have to do.

EXCHANGES REoPENING

" HE announced reopening of the
New York Stock Exchange in a
- limited way is a hopeful sign.
Slowly, but surely, the finances
of the nation are being adjusted to the
new conditions brought about by the
war in Europe. Wall Street is accom-
modating itself to the change in a
most commendable manner.
When the exchange opens on Satur-
day it will be for the purchase and
sale Of bonds only, and these for cash.
The wisdom of this limitation is ap-
parent. The fact that all transactions
must be in actual money and at prices
no lower than the minimum fixed by
the special committee in charge pre-
cludes all the elements of speculation.
The experiment of opening the ex-
change will give those in control of its
affairs some knowledge of the tendency
and extent of the expected liquidating
movement and enable them to estimate
the effect of resuming transactions in
securities of all kinds.
The announcement has caused no
biS1N Stit III -NSN ioiN SilSiSS' HUI
withstanding that it has been urged by
members of the exchange for weeks.
and is rightly regarded more in the
light of a concession to brokers and
large bondholders than as an act
fraught with much public importance.
However, considerable good may come
from it and little harm is possible. It
is step toward the opening of all of
the exchanges of the country to op-
erations on a normal scale. without
which not much can be expected in
the way of financing the great i'm
provement and extension schemes that
were under way when the war knocked
the props from beneath both big and
little business.

Let us come before His presence with

unto Him with psalms.
For the Lord is n great God and a
great King above all gods.
In His hand are the deep places of
the earth; the strength of the hills is
His also.

a good year for bringing their annual
crop of fowls to perfection. Dry
weather prevailed, as a rule, during
the entire period that the young tur-
keys were progressing to maturity,
and dry weather is especially favorable
to the welfare of the turkey that is
in the making.
Turkeys are raised in all parts of the
country and the industry is increasing
everywhere as the people of the United
States are consuming more turkeys
every year. Theoretically the eagle is
the national bird of the American
Union, but as a matter of actuality
the turkey has better claim to that
distinction. Turkeys are produced on
about one-fifth of all the farms in
Pennsylvania and in some of the other
States the proportion is much higher.
In practically all the States. with the
exception of Texas, the turkey output
this year will be larger than last.
Much of the entire production of the
country goes to the large cities of the
North and East. Much of 1t also is
put in cold storage there and some Of
it comes back after the lapse of many
days to be purchased in the country
of its origin at enhanced prices. Local
ly there seems ground for hope that
reasonable figures will prevail when
the consumers go about the business
of providing themselves with the ma
terial for a Thanksgiving or Christmas
feast.

NO DANGER OF DISEASE

IN certain quarters there has arisen
the fear that to indulge in TURKEY
! on Thanksgiving Day may be te
run the risk of contracting foot
and mouth disease. Timid people arc
alarmed by the reports of Statewide
quarantine and the slaughtering of in
fected animals. Also, it has been
limited that on account of the preva-
1ence of the malady and the strict
governmental regulations, the price
of turkey may be unusually high this
year.
One is as groundless as the other. In
the first place, the purchaser may rest
assured that the bird he buys over the

the disease. but does not even come

and national governments are seeing
to that.
