oppose the German advance, and the
invaders have been almost to Paris
and back in the interval, no decisive
battle has been fought. Neither
side has destroyed, or even partly
destroyed an army.
Even the Belgian army escaped
almost intact after that country was
overrun by the Germans. The same
can be said of operations in the
Germany and Austria are fighting,
except in the case of Lieutenant
General Samsonoff, the Russian COM
mander whose army was partially
destroyed by the Germans in the
battle at Tannenberg, East Prussia.
In the present battle on the river
Vistula, from Warsaw south to the
river Pilica, the Russians have
scored an important victory in driv-
ing the Germans back and have cap
tured many prisoners besides guns
and ammunition. But the defeated
army, when it gets back to it's Sc
lected position, can entrench and
start another siege battle, such as
that which occurred on the river
Aisne in France. Southwark of the
Pilica the Germans still hold the
river Vistula, except in front of the
fortress at Ivangorod, where they
were driven back by attacks from
that stronghold.
The Austrian army, which was so
often described as routed and de-
stroyed in the battles of Galicia, has
sprung into life again and is attack
ing the Russian left wing. The Aus
TRANS, however, apparently have
found an impenetrable barrier at
the river San, north of Jaroslaw.
The German claim of victory over
the Russians west of Augustowa,
Suwalki, following fighting reported
by them Thursday in the direction
of Ossowetz, south Of Augustowa,
shows that the Germans are at
tempting another advance from
East Prussia into the government of
Grodnow, to the east of Suwalki,
with the object of compelling the
Russians to reinforce their army in
that region.
All these movements, however,
have brought the belligerents no
nearer their goals, which cannot be
attained until an army is destroyed,
or one or the other of the contend
ing forces becomes too exhausted to
fight further.
The admiralty last night issued a
report in which it was stated that
the German cruiser Karlsruhe had
captured thirteen British steamers
in the Atlantic.

London, Oct. 24.-The Germans
have undertaken general offensive
movement along the line extending
from the mouth of the river 1ser on
the North sea to the river Mouse,
and while they have compelled the
allies to give ground in some places,
they themselves have lost positions
in others. This, in a few words, is
what is gathered from official re-
ports coming from the French and
the German headquarters.
The German attack yesterday was
particularly severe in the west,
where their right wing, strongly re-
inforced by fresh troops, attempted
an advance against the Belgians,
who are holding the allies extreme
left. The left rests on the coast and
is supported by French and Eng
lish warships and by Anglo-French
troops, which form q front extend
ing from a point somewhere in the
vicinity of Dixmude southwark to
LaBassee canal. Each side claims
successes, but the French alone adj
nit that in places they have been
compelled to fall back.
Generally, however, there is little
or no change in the situation, the
lines swinging and sWaying as they
have done for weeks.
Although it is now just two
months since the allies concentrated
on the Franco-Belgian frontier to

Paris, Oct. 24.-"On our left wing
the action continues with great viO-

at some points around La Bassee,
but have won some at the east Of

of the front the situation remains
the same.

VISITING FIREMEN A CREDIT TO STATE

With 10000 men in the city yesterday to partici-
pate directly in the big iremen S parade and scores
of thousands of other persons here to the truly
wonderful spectacle, all filled with the holiday
spirit and in for good time, it would not have
been surprising if some had overstepped the bounds
of propriety and the limits of hospitality ber-
ally extended to them but it is to the lasting credit
of the local fremen, the police and the members of
the State Firemen 5 Association that the order
uniformly excellent during the entire period when
the greatest crowd was in the city.
1t has been more than % years since Harrisburg
has had fremens convention of anything ap-
preaching the dimensions of the present one and
stories had come in advance of the visitors that it
had been the experience of other cities which in
recent years had entertained the association that
the celebrations were marred with scenes of rowdy-
ism and disorder. AS result many Harrisburg
ers had been led to think women would be sub
jected to insults if they appeared on the streets
and that disgraceful scenes would be enacted gen
erally.-
Any stories to that effect were gross libel on
the members of the State Firemen's Association
and their friends. The fine appearance and excel
lent department of all the men in the line of march
proved to the thousands who took keen delight in
before been seen in the state of Pennsylva-
MIA, proved cOncusvely that the state S volunteer
fremen are of the highest class of citizenship and
honor to the various towns and cities that they
represent.
Even during the hours of relaxation and merry
making, following the long march through the
streets of the city, the deported themselves in
a way that reflected only credit on them and their
organizations, and the remarkable thing is that
during the entire day in which the city was
thronged with more than 100000 visitors it was not
necessary for the police to make single arrest for
serious crime The credit for this rests no less on
the Harrisburg fremen who succeeded in giving the
city clean celebration than upon their guests
who co-operated in refraining from violating the
hospitality extended
No city need hesitate to invite the members of

DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR
Makes 1t Dull, Brittle, Lifeless, and
Causes It To Fall Out

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous,
soft, and look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails. Adv.

Big Bass Drums in the Band

Charles M. Schwab s Bethlehem Steel
Company band, in the development of
which the great steel man has spent
great deal of money, solved the .ques-
ton of the best way to carry a big
bass drum. 1t is no easy task to lug
one of these instruments over an eight
or nine-mile parade route, so the Beth
lehemites simply placed the drum on a
cart drawn by well-groomed pony
The biggest bass drum in the whole
parade was carried by the Hershey
band, from the chocolate town down
the Lebanon Valley. Two men besides
the drummer helped tote the big thing.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company S
band was one of the best in line. The
famous Ringgold organization, from
Reading, played its usual excellent mu-
sic. But there were so many fine bands
in line that it would be an almost end
less job to dwell Oh the merits of all
