Harrisburg Railways Co.
Help Band Concert

Through the activities of Park
Commissioner Taylor and those asso-
ciated with him in the free band con-
cert movement for Reservoir Park this
summer there is certain to be a number
of fine entertainments for the people.
Already the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany has contributed $3.50 and 1t is ex-
pected that the jitneys will also come
to the aid of the Municipal Band Con-
cert Association. Inasmuch as the
railways company and the jitneys are
the only concerns which directly
benefit from the traffic to the park, it
was reasonably expected that they
would share the expense involved in
this course of concerts.
In addition to the contribution of
the Harrisburg Railways Company
the Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany has contributed $50 and a num-
Der of merchants and public-spirited
citizens have likewise added to the
fund. City Commissioner Taylor is
president of the concert association
and is throwing much energy into the
for the series of con-
certs.

releasing troops for service against
Italy.
Hostilities between Italy and AUS

from Rome says Austrian destroyers
and torpedoboats fired on several
points along the coast simultaneously
with an attack by aeroplanes 1t is as

after a brief acnnonade.
Attacks were made at Venice, Porto
Corsini, Darletta and Gesi. showing
that the raid extended over the greater

PATROLS ALONG FRONTIER
CLASH; GERMANS HAVE
DECLARED WAR ONITALY
Exceptionally Rigid Censorship Established in Italy;
Austro-German Advance Checked, According to Pc
trograd Dispatches; British and French Increase
Landing Force on GalIipoli Peninsula

The first blow was struck in the
war between Italy and Austria-Hun-
gary. Austrian aeroplanes attacked
the Italian arsenals at Venice, and also
visited several other italian cities,
passing along the eastern coast, Ac-
cording to Rome reports they were
driven off.
With the exception of clashes be-
tween frontier patrols, no other tight
ing has yet been reported. 1taly's dec
laration of war took effect to-day but
an unusually rigid censorship, estab-
lished by royal decree, restricts the
transmission of information concern
ing military movements.
A message coming from Germany
by a round about way states that the
semiofficial Wolf agency has an
nounced that Germany has declared
war on Italy.
Both Austria and Italy have large
armies along the frontier, and it is as
sumed the campaign will open up in
this mountainous region. Italy also
is said to have assembled an army on
the southeastern coast of the country
across the Adriatic from Albania.
Advance Is Checked
Official announcement is made at
Petrograd that the Austro-German
forces, after sweeping across the west
ern half of Galicia, have been check
ed. They are now said to have as
sumed the defensive, their efforts to
compel a general retreat of the Rus
slams from the San having failed.
