FRENCH MAKING
NEW ADVANCES
IN THE WEST
Trenches Reported Captured
on Heights of La Folie in
Artois District
BULGARIANS ON BORDER
Teutonic Gains Near Dina and
in Volynhia Seem Fairly
Well Offset

New progress for the French in the
offensive movement of the allies on
the western front is reported to-day by
the Paris war office. Advances from
trench to trench on the heights of La
Folio in the Artois district are claimed.
While the political situation in the
Balkans is continuing to absorb atten-
ton, Bulgaria is disposing her troops
with view to eventualities. She is
reported in advices through Athens
to be moving forces toward the Greek
border as well as in the direction of
the Serbian frontier.
Bucharest dispatches received in
Italy say that Bulgarian artillery is
being massed along the Dobrudja
front of the Rumanian frontier.
The situation on the eastern front
is little changed according 20 the ad-
vices Teutonic gains near Dina and
in Nolynhia seem fairly well offset by
the reported progress of the Russians
In the central sectors, where they arc
admittedly on the offensive.
Contradicting the recent brief an
nouncement of success in Mesopotamia
the Turkish war office declares that
the British offensive resumed on Sep
tember 27 was a failure, a violent at
tack being beaten off despite the fact
that the British outnumbered the
Turks four to one.
1t is also claimed in the Turkish
statement that heavy losses were in
flicted on q British force which landed
on the bank of the Tigris north of
Korna.

COURT PRAISES
STATE POLICE
Grand Jury and Judge Kunkel
Commend Constabulary's
Work

Verbal bouquets were handed the
Pennsylvania State police for 1.-The
diligent, persevering and efficient as
sistance rendered to the law officers
of Dauphin county in the detection
of crime and the conviction of Grim
inals in the rural districts" by both
the Dauphin county grand jury and
President Judge George Kunkel at the
close of September quarter sessions.
Judge Kunkel in commenting upon
the report spoke of the excellence of
the State constabulary's work and re-
ferred to several murders and shoot
ing affrays in Steelton and this city,
which might have been run down if
the State policemen had been on
their trails.
The grand jury also recommended
that the county commissioners take
immediate steps to condemn the Hum
melstown pike through Hershey to
the county line near Palmyra and that
the tollgate at Brownstone be abol-
ished 80 that the last impediment to
public travel in Dauphin county be
removed"
After favorably commenting upon
the excellent conditions found at the
almshouse and the Jail, the grand
jury states that it acted upon 146 bills
of Indictment, found 100 to be true
and ignored thirty-Seven.

SCORES FILTHY
MILK DEALERS
DR.. Raunick Says Something
More Than Publicity and
Prosecution Is Needed

Filthy milk dealers are severely
scored by DR.. ]. NJ. J.Ranuick, city
health officers, in the September issue
of the health bulletin of the city bu-
reau of health and sanitation
Prosecution of certain dealers last
month has had little effect on others
who continue to supply the commodi-
ity to Harrisburg regardless of the
legal requirements or the effect it may
have on the c;tys health.
Instead of the hoped for improve
ment in our milk supply following our
milk prosecutions last month";" says
the bulletin, "a mere glance at the
August milk report seems to indicate
that with some dealers, something
more than prosecution and publicity
will be required to insure clean, safe
milk supply for us.
when confronted with the appall-
ing fact that over so per cent. of a
single months milk samples show
the presence of the treacherous colon
bacilli in dangerous amounts, it must
be conceded that such a filthy milk
supply constitutes so serious q menace
to the health of the community that
its continuance cannot be tolerated
Under any circumstances
Safety first" precautions which
have been taken by the public electric
utilities in trimming the trees through
which their wires must pass are fav-
orably commented upon by DR.. Rau-
nick.

London Still Interested
in Fighting in East
BY Associated Press

London, Oct. 2, 1920 p. m. - The
situation on the eastern front is still
regarded in London as of the greatest
immediate importance, notwithstand-
ing the new offensive in the west. To
transfer the center of gravity of the
war 10 the western front is the task
now before the French and British.
The menacing attitude of Bulgaria
doubtless is having a marked bearing
on the activity of the allies in France
and Belgium for increasing pressure
on the German lines would exert q
decided influence on plans of the Aus
trians and Germans to concentrate q
heavy force on the Serbian frontier,
should they commit themselves to n
fresh campaign in the Balkans with
the assistance of Bulgaria. That ma
tion now occupies as Foreign Secretary
Grey phrased it yesterday, the posi-
tion Turkey held during those weeks
of uncertainty before she cast her lot
openly with the central powers.

President Asks God
to Lead the Nation
Through Great Crisis

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 2.-How
President Wilson went down on his
knees and led his Cabinet in prayer
at recent meeting was told here yes
terday by Bishop William f. Ander-
son, of Cincinnati, at a session of the
indiana Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence. a United States Senator told
the bishop of the incident, he said.
The Senator had heard it from one
OF the Cabinet members who prayed
with the President.
When the President arrived at the
Cabinet meeting" said Bishop Ander-
son. his face wore solemn look. 1t
was evident that serious affairs of the
nation were on his mind. He said to
the Cabinet members: I don't know
whether you men believe in prayer or
not l do. Let us pray and ask the
help of Cod
And right there the President of
the United States fell upon his knees
and the members of the Cabinet did
the same and the President offered a
prayer to God While the war RACES
in Europe, we in this country should
thank God that in this crisis of the
world we have chief executive who
is a servant of God and who stands
with his hand in the hand of God.
Every minister in the land should
every time he offers a prayer take
Woodrow Wilson by the hand and lead
him into the presence of God, and ask
that he be given strength to continue
to be the great apostle of peace among
men,"
There was a chorus of "amens"
from the ministers. Later telegram
expressing the confidence of the dele
gates in him was sent to the Presi-

SCHWAB WANTS
PENNA. STEEL CO.
Negotiates For Purchase of
Big Steel Plant at
Steelton
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY
William II. Donner Finally
Gets Control of Cambria
Steel Company
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY
Special TO The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Oct. 2. - William II.
Bonner, president of the Cambria Steel
Company. yesterday closed the long
anticipated deal for the control of
that company, and Charles NJ. Schwab,
president of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, negotiated for the taking
over of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany.
The control of the Cambria Steel
has passed from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to the Donner-
Frick interests through the sale of the
PENNSYLVANIA company's holdings in
the open market.
Negotiations for the sale of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company were car
ried on at n two-hour session held in
Broad Street Station between Schwab,
Pennsylvania Steel, and Henry Tat
nall, vice president and a director of
the Pennsylvania Railroad
Announcement of the passing of the
control of the Cambria Steel will be
forthcoming In u few days; but there
is still some uncertainty as to the exact
status of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany negotiations. After yesterdays
conference Schwab. Stotesbury ana
Tatnall alike declined to commit them
selves as to the result of their nego-
tiations. but it is believed that If they
have not reached an agreement they
are much nearer a consummation of
their efforts than ever before.
Schwab In 1t Again
1t was learned last night that mat
ters have so been shaped that, should
the present negotiations for the sale of
pennsylvania Steel to Schwab fall
through, then that property will be
taken into merger with the Cambria
Steel and third corporation, under
stood to be the Lackawanna Steel
Company.
The arrangements settle the reports
that the Midvale would be one of the
concerns to be merged with the Cam
bria Steel, but leaves open the ques-
tion as to precisely which companies
are to be enveloped with the Midvale

BIG SHAKE-UP in
UNITED BRETHREN
CIRCLES COMING?
DR.. R. R. Butterwick May Come

bein, This City
HARRISBURG is PIVOT
Revs. Balsbaugh, Spangler and
Rupp May All Be
Changed

A big shake-up in pastoral charges
in the East Pennsylvania Conference
of the United Brethren Church is ex-
churches attending the conference in
session in the Sixth Street United
Brethren Church.
The announcement of these appoint
ments will be made tomorrow morn
ing at the regular church service by
Bishop w. NJ. Weekley, who is presid-
ing at the sessions, which end to-mor-
row night
Harrisburg is the pivot for the big
change, according to the rumor circu-
lating in conference circles to-day.
The situation in the First United
Brethren Church, Boas and Myrtle
streets, is largely responsible for the
proposed shake-up, is the general be-
lief expressed By the majority of the
pastors. Recently the members of
that congregation voted whether or
not the church should be abandoned
and after a discussion they decided to
maintain their existence. 1t is moro
than likely that the Rev. ]. T. Spang-
ler, the present pastor of First Church,
Will be moved.
None of the pastors know just what
will happen tomorrow. All of them
believe that If the conditions in this
city can be adjusted favorably to sat
isfy the five local pastors no big
change will be made throughout the
conference. If this is not accom-
plished while the stationing committee
is in session to-day, one of the biggest
shake-ups in conference history is
looked for.
In Harrisburg, according to rumors
afioat, the Rev. p. Fl. Balsbaugh will
leave Sixth Street Chuch, with the
Rev. DIR. r. X. Butterwick, of Mount
vile, or the Rev. DR.. S. Edwin Rupp,
of Otterbein Church., this city, taking
his place. The return of DR.. J. A.

tically assured, and little has been said

CITY PLANNERS
OPPOSE WALNUT
STREET BRIDGE
Adopt Resolutions Emphati-
cally Declaring For State and
Market Street Subways
VIADUCT A DETRIMENT
Other Traffic Problems For
Upper and Lower End of
City Discussed

Building of a full-width sub
way at State street and the widen
ing of the subway at Market street
would conserve all interests and
furnish ample and convenient
means of travel to and from the
eastern and central sections of the
city, and that the building of a
bridge at Walnut street would
seriously interfere with and per-
haps end for all time the other
two projects.
In this vigorous language the City
Planning Commission last evening de-
clared unequiVocally against the pass
age of the 100000 loan to provide for
the construction of a bridge across the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at Wal
nut street.
Report to Council
In addition to this emphatic action
against the Walnut street bridge the
commission also discussed other inn
portant problems that deal particu-
larly with the traffic question in Har-
risburg. The commissions suggestions
for solution will be embodied in a re-
port to Council Tuesday. These will
include the building of q subway at
Division street. elimination of grade
crossings in South Harrisburg at Vine
of the traffic arteries. The latter sug-
gestion, 1t was pointed out, would give
freer and better access for traffic be-
tween the Hill and other manufacture
ing sections and the new Pennsylvania
freight depot on South Second street.
The construction of a subway at Di-
vision street would afford better and
more desirable means of communica-
tlon between the upper end of the city,
wildwood Park and the section to the
north and east.
Whole Commission Attends
The Planning Commission, however,
devoted most of its time to the discus
sion of the State street and Market
street subway projects. The entire
commission. including President f. S.
Herman, 2ecretary r. F. Umberger,
George A. Shreiner, Francis Jordan
Hall and George w. Reilly, attended

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2.-Official
reports of the American Government
announcing that successful methods
of dealing with the submarine had
been developed by Great Britain are
being carefully studied because of
their possible bearing upon the Amer

These reports assert that at least
fifty and possibly seventy German
submarines have been destroyed by
the new methods. It is also declared
that the British Admiralty is not only
confident that it has crushed the Ger

unless the submarine is made more
effective. it will not in the future
prove the menace it has been to COM
