London-The omission from the
German official report of any refer
ence to Scissors, the scene of the re-
cent marked German success, and the
French statement that there has been
no change in that region, leads to the
belief that a renewal of the violent
struggle there is impending, the tenn
porary quiet being due to the fact that
neither side cares to risk an offensive
in the present circumstances.
So fierce has the fighting been
about scissors that the Germans have
been using the family vaults in the
cemeteries as forts.
AT widely separated points else
where oi the western front there have
been engagements, but the weather
again is playing an important part.
The storm in Belgium prevents oper-
ations, except artillery duels, and
snow in the Vosges, at the other ex-
tremity of the line, makeg attacks ex-
ceedingly difficult.
In the Argonne, however, fighting is
almost continuous, and each side
claims minor successes. For the time
being the Germans seem to be more
on the offensive than the defensive
The German reports of all the east
ern operations are very brief, but
those of the Russians are more in de-
tail, and 1t is believed the Russians
are again menacing East Prussia and
Posen
The Turks, according to reports.
have been dealt another staggering
blow after their determined stand in
the snow at Kara-Urgan, in the eau
sasus. They are fighting rear guard
actions, but are being pressed back to-
ward Erzerum in great disorder.
The Turkish garrison at Adrian
cpie, the partial withdrawal OF which
was previously reported, has now
been completely withdrawn, according
to an Athens dispatch, which gives NO
explanation.
The London papers print a fore
cast appearing in the Paris Figaro
that Italy. Greece, Rumania and Bull
garia will join the allies. but there is
nothing more definite relative to this
turn of affairs than there was fort
night ago.

To SPAN TRACKS At
FOOT Of SECOND ST.
Planning Commission and Manning
Discuss Traffic Possibilities
in Lower End
TO AVOID PENNSY SIDING
Additional Hauling Certain When
Freight Station Is Completed;
Problem of Near Future

The feasibility of spanning the
many tracks of the Pennsylvania sid
ing at the foot of Paxton street by
extending the approach of the Paxton
street bridge across the railroad right
of way, was one of the problems
which the City Planning Commission
and Park Expert Warren H. Man
ming discussed to-day.
The opening of the Second street sub
way and the handling of the unusual
ly big increase in traffic southwark
when the new Pennsy freight station
is completed, will be matter of grave
concern for the city in the next few
years.
One of the natural and most practi-
cable outlets to the Hill section and
the manufacturing centers in the low
er end of the city will be by way of
the Paxton street bridge it is contend
ed, and the elimination of the grade
crossing at the point in question will
be an important factor. Furthermore
II is expected that there will be an
increase in freight shifting with pos
sibilities of additional tracks.
The problem presented to the Plan
ming Commission is the praCticability
of spanning the siding tracks in such
a way as to direct the travel down
Second street in straight line and
then over the Paxton street bridge
without making the crossing danger
Gus. 10 avoid the SldlnS now, the
traffic would have to be directed down
Second street and thence on Vine to
Paxton. Next to the practica bility of
this plan the question of cost is one
that has to be settled by the Commits
sion. And when this is settled then
the method whereby the city can go
ahead with the improvement and
when are problems to solve.
The South Second street problem
was discussed in a general in
connection with the traffic ways in
and out of Harrisburg. Other mat
ters that occupied the Commission
and the Park Expert, of course, per-
tanned to the data Mr.. Manning has
collected for the scheme to develop
the river basin" The park expert
this morning visited McCormick's is
land and vicinity on a sand fiat towed
by steamer of the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company Charles d.
Brown, captain of the companys fleet,
piloted him about.

Albany, June 16.-Ex-S Senator Eli

Constitutional Convention, asserts that
the invasion of Belgium and the de-

theory of Greece, Rome and the Ital-
Ian republics, that the State is all in
all and the individual derives his
rights solely as a member thereof"
Its logical and inevitable result is
that the State is free from those rules
of morality by which individual men
