THE .JARLONICA GATEW tN.

"Jabloncn and the pass of the same
name. which the Russians are said to
have occupied, constitute one OF the most
important gateWays through the high
Carpathian mountains from Galicia and
Bukowina into Hungary" saws 4 late
war geography bulletin of the National
Geographic society issued from its Wash
ington headquarters:

HOW Long WILL TIE WAR LAST.

The war entered its third year with
Germany on the defensive. but every
confluence that her lines will hold.
MaNimilian Harden in Die Zukunft gives
warning, however, that the goal is stiil
remote and says I'VE shall see more
naked misery and hard need in the third
year of war than in many ordinary
years" The Amsterdam correspondent
Of the London Chronicle reports that
the German military staff is readiusting
home military arrangements in order to
release every single available fighting
man for service at the front, the theory
being that "decision SO far as the pres.
ont type of warfare is concerned is fully
expected before the end Of the summer"
Messages exchanged between King
George and the heads of all the Allied
powers express the determination to con-
tinuc the struggle to victorious end

ish Isles in which the same firm iesou-
tion was manifest. The first lord oc the

most cheering feature of the war to

When news of the trolley strike was
received early yesterday morning, off,
cials of the Steelton plant went into
conference with officials of the Phila-

tily arranged a train schedule for this

opportunity to get news of the ar
rangements to the men, notices were
passed around by telephone. This
morning nearly every one of the thou
sands of employees was at work at his
usual time.
Later this morning an adequate
schedule was worked out for getting
the Harrisburg men to and from the
borough by railroad and other ar
rangements will be made to care for
the men in other towns.
The schedule for the Reading rail-
road follows:
