Russian military organization is at
least under way in full force, and that
the German and Austrian armies are
being opposed with enormous RUS
sian forces. Berlin admits that the
Russians are now we'll beyond the
river Warthe, which roughly marks
the eastern boundary of Germany.
May Delay Movement
The Russian advance unless checked
may have an important bearing upon
the lighting in the west, possibly COM
pelling Germany to withdraw troops
from France and Belgium. 1t is sug-
gested, however, that Russia may de-
lay her forward movement to accom-
plish her long cherished purpose of
swinging down to the Bosphorus.
So developments of first Importance
are reported in the Near East The
Russian general staff in Caucasia an
nounces that a Turkish attack on the
Russian position at Koprukelu was re-
pulsed with heavy losses for the
enemy. The Russian Black Sea fleet
has renewed bombardment of towns
along the coast of Aria Minor.
May Use Panama Canal
The suggestion that Japan send an
army to- Europe has not yet taken
tangible form, but Toxic reports that
the idea is attracting increasing at
tention and finds support in military
circles. The sending of a Japanese
army in the west would be a move
ment without precedent and one which
would emphasize the extent of the
conflict. Into it already have been
drawn Turkos from Africa and dark
skinned soldiers of India. The Pana
ma Canal may be put to the usages of
war for the first time should reports
which reached New York to-day prove
true. Seven British warskips were
said TO be on their way to the canal
presur' ably proceeding to the Paci-
fic coast of South America to avenge
the defeat of the British beet of cruis-
ers by German warships.
American military observers, who
thus far have been unable to view the
| fighting, may now have glimpse of
the war. The French war office has
relaxed it's strict orders and will per-
NIT observers from neutral countries
to go to the front. -

has occurred in Pennsylvania in many
years and that eradication means q
long and arduous campaign with prob

the disease has only broken out in this

is grave because infection has been
traced from several points of entry

Ten counties of the State will be

GERMANS CONCENTRATES FORCES
Lull in Fighting Is Prelude of Another
Attack on French Army

Paris, Nov. 8, Z A. M.-The lull in
the lighting In the environs of Dix
nude and Ypres in the best opinion
here is only the prelude of a further
effort to which all the forces that the
Germans can raise will be cencentrat-
ed. The last attack. made with twelve
army corps, failed.
The report that the Germans are
gathering an important army at In
glemuster. the affirmation that the
battle against the French must be de-
cided at an early date, the orders given
t. the German generals to break
through before the end of the month
and the various movements of troops
observed by aviators in Belgium, all
tend to show the purpose of the Ger
mans.

Are you going to "hit the trail"?
This is the question that is being
asked throughout the city these days
of religious enthusiasm. Just when
DIR. Henry w. Slough, the evangelist,
will make his first invitation to Har-
risburgers to walk the sawdust path
in public confession of their willing
ness and determination to lead "the

1t is certain, however, that the first
invitation will be made some time this
week. Thursday night will probably
be the night.
That Harrisburg is indisputably in
the grip of a religious revival is seen
in the fact that during the first week
of the Slough campaign fully $4,000
people attended various services in the
tabernacle. Most of this number
were grown ups" and if the chill

The campaign is the talk of the
town. All classes of people-in bar
rooms, shops, offices, kitchens, par
lors. club rooms, churches, wherever
men meet-are talking about Slough,
and what is more, perhaps, about re-
ligion. The evangelist has shown him
self a sensationalist capable of the
greatest extremes and again as a
preacher of serious purpose and COM
