AUSTRIA ADMITS
RUSSIAN VICTORY
Reversal Puts an End to Threat
ened Austro-German At
tack in East
BY associated Press

London, Dec. 29.-British observ-
ers of the progress of the war point
this morning to the admission in the
Austrian official announcements that
Russia is once more master of the
passes in the Carpathian mountains,
and that the troops along the entire
Austrian front from the Biala river
to point northeast of the Dukla Pass
seem to be falling back.
This means the withdrawal of vlr-
tually all the forces which swept
across the mountains to form the
extreme right in the concerted Austro-
German attack on the Russian armies,
and it marks another surprising re-
Versal of form on the part of the Aus
trian soldiers, whose battle fortunes
since the outbreak of hostilities have
been conspicuously erratic.

COUNCIL FIXES 8
MILLS AS TAX RATE
Mayor Just Can't See How It's Co.
ing to Be Done; Votes
"Aye"

City Council this afternon formally
liked the 1915 tax levy at nine mills,
u reduction of half a mill, and passed
finally the budget ordinance provid-
ing for an expenditure of s552, 1878.
Mayor Royal objected to half mill rate
reduction because, as he said, he
cannot see where the necessary rev.
enues are to come from"
When the roll was called, however.
the Mayor voted along with the other
four Commissioners.
We'll" said he, "I'll vote aye on
the estimated revenues for the year of
S5S0.000 submitted by Mr.. Gorgas, but
l don't believe 1t will reach"
The Mayor took the position that
the half mill decrease Is not due to
the operation OF the city government
under the Clark act. He didn't want
the public to misunderstand he said.
Messrs. Bowman, Lynch and Tay-
Tor explained that they based their
calculations providing for a reduction
estimated receipts of S5S0,00 as given
by Mr.. Gorgas. In 1913, Mr.. Lynch
explained. S529,OOO had been appro-
priated. The half mill would amount
to about $4,000. With these figures
in mind Mr.. Lynch explained how the
cut could readily be made-and that
Council could still keep within its ap-
preparation requirements at nine mills.
The Mayor explained that he is
looking ahead-to next year. Under
the circumstances, he said, he doesn't
see how the city can make ends meet
on nine and half mill basis and
that he questioned whether or not ten
mills wouldn't be necessary.
Even If this is necessary" pointed
out Mr.. Taylor, the people have u
right to a nine mill rate this year"
"Of course, our figuring" was Mr.
Lyneh's final observation. I'VE took Mr.
Gorgas' estimate of $3.50, 900. Isn't this
so, Mr.. Gorgas?"
"Yes-provided I'm right" returned
Mr.. Gorgas However, 1 think the
millage can be cut down TO nine, but 1
may be wrong"

Rain Will Not Hurt
Ice, Says Weatherman

Cloudy tomorrow with n slight fall
in temperature is the forecast for
weather for Harrisburg and vicinity
for tomorrow.
The rain, which started this morn
ing, will last until some time this even
ing according to the announcement
made by the Weather Bureau. How
ever, the skaters need not fear because
1t is very little above the freezing
point and will not melt the ice enough
to do any material harm Colder
weather will follow soon.
To-day's rain caused many people to
slip and fall, some of them receiving
severe bruises, caused by their hard
bumps. The horses, too, were among
the sufferers, several of them slipping
and falling. delaying traffic for few
minutes.
