MUNICIPAL LEAGUE BACKS
MANNING ASTO THE wharf
It's Members Confer To-day and AS
sert That Light Company officials
Have Expressed Willingness to
Halt Work Pending Outcome

Approving as whole the letter of
criticism Warren H. Manning, the
Park Department $ landscape arehi-
tect, yesterday made public in connee-
tion with the construction of the coal
wharf on largest Island by the Har-
risburg Light and Power Company, the
Municipal League. at a meeting at the
Harrisburg Club at I O'Clock to-day,
went on record as favoring the carry
ing out of all of the park expert S sug-
gestions in regard to the wharf.
In so doing, the league decided TO
seek a conference both with the light
company officials and the City Com
missioners, this for the purpose of
having matters amicably adjusted to
coincide with Mr.. Manning S views.
Immediately following the meeting
members of the league called on light
company officials and they said obtain
ed assurances from the company that
the work on the coal wharf will be de-
ferred temporarily or until the con-
troversy raised by the expert is set
tied 10 the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
This may result, representative OF
the league declared, in the abandon
ment of the whole plan to place the
coal wharf on the island in lieu there
of, provided a boat landing on the is
land, as suggested by Mr.. Manning.
The League representatives may con-
fer with the City Commissioners on
Tuesday, so they said this afternoon,
and the question of repeating the ordi-
nance giving the Light company per-
mission TO build the coal wharf on the
Hargest island may be raised at that
time.
The Municipal League to-day de-
eided to engage Bion J. Arnold, of Chi
eago. a traction and terminal expert,
TO ca slider the feasibility of the
Leagues plans for the proposed isle
of safety to be provided in Market
square. The League 5 plans were sub
mitted TO the City more than a year
ago but never were adopted it is said,
2 because of the engineers claims that
the $4,000 provided by the loan ap.
proved by the voters in 1918 would not
be adequate TO finance the cost.

late WAR news SUMMARY

Official announcement is made in a
dispatch from Constantinople that Sc
we're losses have been inflicted on the
French and British troops which land
ed on Gallipoh peninsula. 1t is said
one entire battalion was annihilated
in an attack on the allied left wing
and that in another engagement the
British lost heavily, both in men and
war munitions.
Reports reaching London from the
Dardanelles, while containing no new
details of the land fighting say that
the bombardment by the allied feet
Of the Turkish Notifications is pro-
ceeding successfully. Some of the forts
at Chanak and Kilid -Bahr and prob
ably others on both sides of the straits
up to the narrows are said to have been
silenced.
The exact status of affairs in the
great battle Of Western Galicia re-
mains in doubt. German and Austrian
reports of spectacular victory as in
creasingiy optimistic. They state that
the resistance of the Russians is being
broken down steadily and that tie
whole Carpathian army of the Russians
has been placed in precarious situa-
ton. Petrograd advices, however, while
conceding measure of success to the
Teutonic allies, say these claims are
greatly exaggerated. The Russian war
office announces a victory in battle
near Stry, in the Carpathians further
east than the scene of the present main
battle.
Hopes that Italy would settle peace
fully her differences with Austria ap-
parently are fading as speedily as they
were revived few days ago. The Aus
trian government is reported to have
informed Italy Of the extreme conces-
sions 1t is willing to make, and Aus
trtsns and Germans in Rome are repre-
sented as having lost confidence in a
favorable outcome. A German school
in Rome was closed on receipt of a
telegram from Berlin and the exodus
of Germans from Italy Is continuing in
increasing numbers. Austria is making
energetic military preparations for a
possible attack by Italy.

If circus day brought any pick
pockets TO Harrisburg they certainly
did no work. for the police did not
have one complaint of anything being
stolen. 1t was the most quiet circus
day from a police standpoint Harris
burg has witnessed for many years.
But one arrest was made during the
day and that was of an unoffensive
drunk.
The crowd which turned out to see
the afternoon circus performance yes
terday was one of the greatest the
performers have played TO since the
season opened Scarcely a hundred
seats were vacant in the "big top. "
The circus was fine, the added clown
features bringing howls of laughter.
Harrisburg was pleased and the show

Vatican Organ Looks For War

Rome, May 7.-Asserting that the
hour is near at hand for momentous
decisions by Italy the "Osservatore

in the strongest terms the war it be-

against "the fury of degenerate ma.

sake, hiding from the majority of the
nation the dangers of participating in
the cruel conflict which is shaking
Europe like an earthquake. which
lightly accepts war for wars sake
without asking its justice, necessity or
opportuneness.

Four of the five Swatara township
supervisors and a representative body
of township taxpayers this morning
made applications to the Dauphin Coun-
ty Commissioners for financial aid to
rebuild two miles of roadway. 1t is pro-
posed to rebuild half mile section of

haut and is about a mile and half in
length.
The estimated cost of the proposed
work is SIS, 1000, of which the super-
visors are endeavoring to have tine
State pay one-half, the county one
quarter and the township the re-
mainder. The work would be completed
this year if the State and county Off
eials decided to render assistance.
The Commissioners made no decision
to-day, pointing out that they first must
ascertain whether they have sufficient
money available The Commissioners
did say, however, that if it is at all
possible they will render some assist
ance in building section of the road.
The four supervisors at the conference
included: NJ. J. Aungst, William Still,
