COMMERCIAL POWER

saders Speaks Before Members
Of Civic Club

Mrs. Frances J. Diefenderfer. of
Erie, recently elected president of the
Anti Polygamy Crusaders, addressed a
special meeting of the Harrisburg Civic
Club this afternoon at 3 o'clock in
Boyd Hall of the V. w. c. A. Mrs.
John w. Reilly, first vice-president of
the club, introduced the speaker, who
talked on "Mormonism.'
Mrs. Diefenderfer said: THE Nor
man system is anti-moral, anti-ChriS-
tian. anti-American-a Mohammedan
kingdom in our country. Their So
called sacred books teach a plurality
of gods, a plurality of wives, a plu-
rality of Bibles. Their system is
founded on the Objectionable teaching
and practice of polygamy. They have
never had high priest who was not a
.polygamist. Their officials, many of
them, are living in polygamy and the
section of their book of doctrines and
covenants, known as article 1872, is the
polygamy chapter, and is recon-
mended to their Sunday schools, while
the religion classes arc taught in al
most all districts of Utah and Idaho.

Germans Rushing Renforcements East to Halt Invasion

tralia Has Plan For Formation of Rifle Reserve of
500, 900 Men

The new Austro- German plan in the
east which as un immediate object
calls for the protection of the dual
from Russian invasion rath-
er than the prosecution of the often
sive along the Warsaw front, seems to
have exerted already a marked influ-
ence on the campaign. Heavy rein
forcements of Germans have been sent
into Hungary to assist the Austriaus
and an official statement to-day from
Vienna reports that important vic
tories over the Russians have been
gained.
Fighting i'm Passes
The fighting took place at the noun
tain passes leading into Northern and
Northwestern Hungary and Russians
were compelled to evacuate important
possessions, after repeated and fruit
less attacks. These reported gains for
the Russians follow their successes in
Bukowina which Vienna regards as
having crippled the Russian offensive
there and rendered unlikely the par
ticipation of Rumania in the war, al
least at this time.
A Russian official statement asserts
that successes were won in recent
fighting in Galicia, where attacks OF
the Austro- German forces were repul-
sed everywhere. In Central Poland
along the Warsaw front, the Germans
made several violent assaults, but are
said to have been driven back with
heavy losses.
In the west the British troops once
more are withstanding the brunt OF
the German attack Severe fighting
continues along La Bassee canal where
the Germans appear to have won the
advantage.
