King Nicholas Gives
VieWs of Great War
BY Associated Prctr

Rome. Oct. Is, 4 A. M.-The Gazetta
del Popo, a. Turin newspaper, having
asked King Nicholas of Montenegro
to give his views regarding the war,
received an answer from General Mar
tinovitch, who. in the name of the
king, replied as follows:
This terrible war is the revenge
attempted throughout century,
which sometime, we hope, will be
strictly defined-of oppressed nation
alities against the nefarious work of
this great struggle. The nationalities
supported by the triple entente did
not provoke the sanguinary struggle
which was imposed upon them by the
reactionary spirit of the German
world, wishing definitely to consolidate
its own reign on the sufferings of the
weak in contempt of International law.
The Italian government" he con-
tinued, will be, able to choose the
moment favorable to take such new
decisions as are claimed by Italian in
terests."
He ended by saying he hoped that
Italy, besides rejoining her children
still outside her kingdom, would help
the Slav nationalities in the Balkans
to take the place due them on the
steps of the altar where justice is law.

BOOKER WASHINGTON
DISCUSSES UPLIFT
Tells Big Audiences Methods Ems
ployed in the Tuskegee Insti-
tute in Alabama

Methods used in the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute, Tuske-
gee, Ala, and their help in the uplift
to the negro race, were explained last
night to a large audience in the Fifth
Street Methodist Episcopal Church,
by DIR. Booker T. Washington, the
foremost negro educator in the United
States. DIR. Washington gave an inter-
esting and instructive lecture on the
negro race, it's past, present and fu-
ture, telling briefly of his life as a
slave; the emancipation of the slaves
and their progress since that time.
During his early life he formed the
plan of returning the many benefits of
his life to his race, and for this pur-
pose in 1881 he started the school, of
which he is now principal, in rude
shanty.
Since taat time the institution has
grown to be the prosperous school
it now is
At present the school has an en-
rollment of more than 1900 students,
1917 teachers and occupies 81 build
ings. Many of these have been built
by the students themselves. The en-
tire institution is worth $1,500,000 and
is clear of debt.
Mr.. Washington told of the achieve
ments of the graduates of the institu-
ton. He spoke before a large audi
ence of colored people in the Bethel
African Methodist Episcopal Church
Immediately after the address in the
Fifth Street Church.

History as = Culture Study,
Larned's History of the
World the Best For
the Purpose

The immense superiority of history
as a means of culture is everywhere
conceded. A knowledge of what man
has been and what he has accom-
plished in the past ages is indispens-
able to an understanding of the world
to-day. The solution of many of the
problems of the twentieth century is
rendered easier by a familiarity with
the problems that have confronted our
ancestors. Some they settled for them
selves and some they have passed on
to us. Larned's History of the World
unfolds the life of mankind for sew
enty centuries. BY its remarkable
brevity. its wonderful clearness of
narrative and it's altogether unique
method of treatment-it presents a
work that has no equal. Its distri-
button by the thousand among our
readers will undoubtedly contribute to
the uplift of the entire community.
We commend our unexampled coupon
offer to the serious consideration of
every one who reads this notice. The
opportunity cannot be held open much
longer. The time - clip the coupon
is now-elsewhere in this paper.

TRAFFIC THROUGH
PANAMA CANAL IS
HALTED BY SLIDE
Several Ships in Waterway Have
Been Unable to Complete
Their Passage
EXAMINATION BEING MADE
Reports Indicate That Earth Move
ments Occurred on Both
Sides of Channel
EXAMINATION BEING MADE

Panama, Oct. To- - A serious land
slide in the Culebra cut at a late hour
last night interrupted completely all
eral ships in the canal have been un
able to complete their passage.
The reports indicate that there were
earth movements on both sides into the
channel from the slopes of Gold and
opposite each other.
Colonel Goethals and other officials
are making extensive examinations this
morning.
1t is said traffic through the canal
probably will be interrupted for some
time.
Washington. D. c.. Oct. Is. = News of
the landslide into Culebra Cut caused
no alarm at the Isthmian Canal Com
mission Offices. While regretting the
temporary closure of the canal the Of
ficials say this slide will have its com
pensattons from an engineering point
of view, because it will hasten the final
subsistence of the mobile material in
the cut, thereby insuring the perma
nence of the waterway.
No official report on the slide had
reached the commission to-day. 1t was
recalled, however, that in almost every
reference to the Culebra Cut operations
Colonel Goethals had pointed out that
the earth had not reached a state of
equilibrium and that probably it would
be necessary to continue dredging op-
erationS there for many months after
the waterway was opened.

GEORGE W. SEYMOUR
MAY Be APPOINTED
To SUCCEED MURPHY
First Ward Man Policeman Proba-
bility When Dismissed
Officer Resigns

While it had been generally con-
ceded in municipal circles ever since
Tuesday that Andrew E. Murphy, dis
missed as city patrolman for insub-
ordination, conduct unbecoming an
officer, etc, would submit his resigna-
tion to Mayor John K. Royal, gossip's
tongue in the city offices was busy to-
day with the name of George w. Sey-
mour, 1910 South Cameron street as
Murphy's successor.
The probability of Seymour's ap-
pointment would not be confirmed or
even discussed by the City Commits
sioners, but it is said on good author
ity that the First Warder is to get the
place at Tuesdays session of City
Council. 1t is generally conceded that
Jacob Kinley, nominated by Mayor
Royal to fill Murphy's position, will
not be confirmed by Council
Action on the dismissal of Murphy
and the appointment of his success
sor was postponed for a week at last
Tuesdays meeting. 1t is expected that
the place will be filled at the next
meeting in order not to deprive Har-
risburg's taxpayers of the services of a
policeman.
Seymour is well-known in the lower
end, where he has lived for years. He
had been employed at the Central Iron
and Steel Company's plant.

Railroads May Carry
Gifts Free of Charge
Br Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Oct. Is. = Ameri-
can railroads may transport free of
charge, if they decide to do so, gifts
made by the children of the United
States for presentation on Christmas
Day to the children made orphans by
the European war. This ruling was
announced by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day in connection with
the plans of American newspapers to
send Christmas ship" abroad.
The commission said:
Section 22 of the act to regulate
commerce provides that nothing in the
act shall prevent carriage of property
free or at reduced rates for charitable
purposes. Railroad companies are
therefore authorized by law to trans
port without charge property for chart
table purposes and the commission
thinks that shipments of articles col
lected for gratuitous distribution to
orphans of the war in Europe or to
those suffering from, or made destitute
as a result thereof, would fall within
the terms of charity"
The commission made it clear that
free transportation of such articles was
entirely discretionary with the rail-
roads.

READING ICE PLANT
CLOSELY INSPECTED
Harrisburg Merchants Will Con-
duct Business Along Sim
liar Lines

Directors of the Merchants Ice Com
pany, of Harrisburg, returned from
Reading last night. where they made a
thorough inspection of the Reading
Merchants company plant and in
quired into its business methods and
results
Harrisburg directors while in Read
ing were guests of the York Manu-
featuring Company, of York, which
operates the plant in that city. Har-
risburg visitors were met by the stock
holders of the Merchants Ice Company
of Reading, including John A. Hin
nershitz, president. Daniel Heffner,
William Irving. F. A. Horner and
Oliver Lentz.
The engine room at the Reading
plant was first inspected. Here the
visitors were shown three York Ver-
teal single acting ammonia COM
pressors. The freezing tank room was
next visited, where 1.400 300-pound
cans are used in making ice required
for this plant. II takes forty-eight
hours for one 300-pound cake to
freeze. The can is submerged in brine
having a temperature of about IA de-
grees.
The Harrisburgers were then shown
the large distilling room, where a
filtration plant is operated, assuring
pure water and ice. The tour was
completed with an inspection of the
boiler room. where two 150-horse-
power boilers are operated.
1t was explained to the Harrisburg
visitors that provision has been made
in, the Reading plant for the storage
of 10000 tons of ice which is made
during the winter.
At Reading ice is sold at the fac.
tory platform for 50 per ton to stock
holders only. A great many small ice
dealers are stockholders and are get
ting their ice for 50 per ton and can
afford to deliver it to the housewife
at a reasonable figure. Pieces cut to
be sold in Reading for cents are said
to compare in size to pieces ordinarily
retailed in Harrisburg for Is cents.
1t was announced on the return
of the Harrisburgers that the Mer-
chants company of Harrisburg will do
business along lines similar to that of
the Reading company.
