Direct Assault Upon Forresses
Protecting City Are Weaken

From all sides except the east, Teu-
tonic armies are continuing their con-
certed pressure on Warsaw, the fate
! of which still hangs in the balance.
Direct assaults upon the fortress es
protecting the city are weakening the
defenses, according to the German
claim. They are hammering especial
ly hard upon Ivangorod, where the
Teutons guns are declared to be play
ing on the railroad line which runs
through Lublin and Chelm.
South of Lublin the battle still RACES
fercely. No claim is made by any
of the belligerents that a definite re-
suit has been achieved there.
Northeast of the Polish capital,
along the line of the Narew. Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's forces are
pressing hard upon the Russian
bridgehead at Rosen. Petrograd is
silent as to the outcome.
The German campaign in Courland
is admittedly progressing faVorably to
the invaders.

the Bug near the Galician border.
I Both Austrians and Germans declare

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
OUTING IS BIG SUCCESS
Two Hundred Members Lay Aside Their Dignit and Be-
have Like Boys at Annual Picnic at Ingenook
Clubhouse; Sports, Luncheon and Fireworks Make
Occasion Enjoyable

Men prominent in the business life
of Harrisburg yesterday cast aside
their affairs for few hours and drove
dull care away at the annual outing of
the Chamber of Commerce at the
lnglenook clubhouse. Two hundred
members of the Chamber and their
guests made things lively throughout
the afternoon and evening, indulging
in boNhood games and enjoying buffet
luncheons in the open air. No person
on the grounds was permitted to wear
coat and only a few escaped the
rule to remove collars. Straw hats
were tabooed also and all of the men
attending the fete were compelled to
wear paper hats, which were provided
on the grounds.
Most of the boys" made the trip to
lnglenook in automobiles and upon
their arrival at the clubhouse luncheon
was served and continued until late
last night The platters were kept
well filled and no person was allowed
to complain of hunger.
AS for amusements, there were
plenty for everyone. Baseball was
probably the leading feature and at
least half-dozen games We're played
during the day, In several of the con-
tests the regulation baseball was used,
but in others the players used an in

heavy bat found it's way to the field,
but was kidnapped soon after some
heavy hitters clouted out q few home
runs Rulings then made a light bat

Biggest Crowd of Season
Attends Band Concert

An unusually well-chosen and we'll
rendertd program, cool breezes and a
moon that was just right, pleased the
biggest crowd of the summer band
concert season at Reservoir last even
ing when the Commonw ealth band
under the direction of Conductor w.
Fred Weber entertained. The con-
cert was given by the Harrisburg Band
Concert Association.
The band was at its best and in ad-
dition to the regular numbers Conduc-
tor Weber responded literally to en-
cores with just the kind of one-step
stuff that kept white pumps and tan
oXfords a-tapping. A pleasing feature
too, was the absence of the so-called
descriptive" selection. The crowd
didn't need to listen to the barking
of the hunting dogs or any of the
Sime-honored noises incident TO z
hunt in the Black Forest" Instead
a series of popularity classic and clas-
sically popular selections were rem
dered in way that got rounds and
rounds of applause. The band had
to play "Tipperary" twice.
