Many Dopesters Go Wrong on
the Football Results
BY "Unlp''

Outside of Penn's victory over the
Navy, by score of Is to 6, the one
big surprise to Harrisburg's football
enthusiasts on Saturday was Centrals
walk-away victory over Lebanon high,
score 81 TO 0. Following Steelton
highs defeat by Lebanon by score of
26 to 6, and Centrals defeat at Potts

considered weak crew. Dopesters
were again fooled and Central will
have to he considered of importance
in this seasons race. as in the past.
Within four minutes after play
started, Centrals superiority was in
evidence, and many spectators Won
dered how Lebanon managed to defeat
Steelton. There was only one man
on the Lebanon team who played foot
ball. 1t was II. Light. the captain.
Every man on the Central team play
ed the game. Ginger was in evidence
in every play Central made. The Blue

Tech High Trims Steelton
Tech high still holds a clean score,
taking Saturdays game from Steelton
high, score 19 to 6. SteeltonS score
came early in the game. Once Tech
got its machinery working, ii was all
off with Steelton high. Tech got into
the game in the last half and played
'Steelton off the lot. Britsch was a
star making a 45-yard run. Others
who played well, were Stiteler, kutz.
Emanuel, Beach and Beck.
In the opinion of many followers of
the game, Techs work this far has
been superior to Centrars. and the
Blue and Grey must hit faster pace
to win on Thanksgiving Day.

SAYS CORPSES CHOKED RIVER
A French Writer Describes the Fear
full Slaughter OF Germans.

Edouard Kelsey. OF LIE Journal, re-
ported to be now serving with the col
ors, writes under date of August 20:
1t would be difficult TO estimate
the number of Germans killed last
week. Whole regiments were ami
hilated at some points. They came
out of the wood section by section.
One section, one shetland every
thing was wiped out.
AT two or three places, which I
am forbidden to name, corpses filled
the Meuse until the river overfowed.
This is no figure of speech. The
river bed literally was checked by
the mass of dead Germans. The ef-
feet of our artillery surpasses even
our dreams. The Germans use out
of-date shrapnel which the Turks
used in the Balkans. Its damages
are so slight that one of our artillery
regiments fought for a week, losing
only eight killed and fourteen
wounded"

EXCHANGE REOPENING IN SIGHT
Optimism is Cornerstone of Specula-
ton.

New York, Sept. 10.-Optimism is
the cornerstone of speculation and
stock brokers in the financial district
are discussing with confidence the re-
opening of the stock exchange and
a near revival of speculative activity.
Predictions were made on the floor
that the trading would be resumed
within six weeks. This, of course,
would not be attempted without the
sanction of the federal reserve board,
which is expected to provide fund
of at least s250,000,000 that would
be available for call loans.
The announcement from Washing
ton that the special committee ap-
pointed at the recent conference sug-
gested that the banks Of America un-
derwrite a fund of s150,000,000 in
gold to be used for the settlement Of
British-American debts met with gen.
eral approval. Probably not more
than s5O,O00,000 would be immedi-
ately needed and the effect on the
sentiment would be very great. With
the cooperation of the Bank of Eng
land, credits should be opened for a
shipment of grain and provisions to
Offset such deliveries of securities
that are still pending.
Too Much Attention Abroad.
One of the old-time active floor
traders said yesterday: Il look for
some form of trading within thirty
days, and l expect quick apprecia-
ton of the opportunities that lie at
the feet of our industrial corpora
tions. The inforced idleness of the
past six weeks has made US unusual
ly keen and the large amount Of
reserve money already issued will
surely find it's way back to Wall
street and be used for speculative
purposes. In my opinion, entirely
too much attention has been given to
the threatened heavy selling from
abroad. Supposing stocks do decline
some five points. We are already
margined for such a development,
and the public would quickly buy
and turn the tide upward. For
twenty years l watched the trading
on the floor and the man that would
attempt to make profit by short
selling under present conditions
would be a fool. There are lot of
traders who hold these opinions.
Call loans are being generally
marked up to s per cent, and such
time loans as mature are renewed
on call at that rate. A more active
market was noted in commercial pa
per, with Western banks buying at a
Z per cent. rate. AS predicted last
week, the Copper Producers associa-
ton did not make a report for the
month. The market for copper met
al is quiet, with inquiries for South
and Central America awaiting bank
ing facilities. Reports from the steel
trade indicate that prices are holding
well, with fair export business, but
a falling off in domestic orders

Germans Retiring.
The position of the troops, as
stated in the French reports, is that
the German right army is retreating
beyond the River Vesle, which runs
between Rheims and Scissors; that
the German forces in the centre,
which had penetrated farthest south,
are falling back north Of Vitry-le-
Francois and SeimaiZe and have
crossed the River Marne, and in the
hilly wooded country between Vitry
and Verdun the Germans have lost
Revigny and Brabant-le-Roi.
The French appear to have taken
the offensive along almost the entire
front, as indicated by successes In
the east between Luneville and st.
Die, where they have retaken several
towns they evacuated fortnight
ago. Reports from Basel say hard
fighting occurred yesterday in the
Gubweiller Valley, in southern AZ
SAGE.
Ninety thousand men are reported
to be engaged. Another dispatch
from Brussels says the French artil-
lery and cavalry have annihilated
two squadrons of German cavalry in
that neighborhood.
Russians and Austrians.
In the battles proceeding in Cali
cia and Russian Poland, success ap-
pears to cling to the Russians. They
are reported to have won decisive
victory at Krasnick and Tomaszow
Thursday. The Austrian and German
armies are estimated at forty divi-
sions of infantry and eleven of caval-
ry, totalling more than million men,
and reinforced by several German
divisions. The Russians describe
their line as extending over several
hundred versts. CA verst is about
two-thirds of mile.)
Fighting has been proceeding since
August q and the Russians claim
to be winning both in Poland and Ga
licia.
The battle of Rawa Ruska, which
is proceeding, apparently will prove
the crucial test of the Austrian army.
Archduke Frederick, of Austria, is
with the army there.
A message from sources unfriend-
ly to Austria declare the result Of
the Galician operations will deter
mine whether the Austrian army will
continue to be a factor in the war.
While there is deep satisfaction in
England over the progress of events
on the French battlefields, there are
no signs of rejoicing or celebration.
London today wore its usual Sunday
calm. Newspapers continue to coun-
sci the people against over-optinfsm
and any belief that the war will be
other than a long and costly one.
The German general, Won Buelow, is
giving the German people the same
caution. He tells them they are on
ly at the beginning Of sacrifices and
suferings.
