Carnival attracts
5000 OPENING NIGHT
Firemen From Six Towns
Take Part in Parade
at Newark
BOY SCOUTS ACTIVE
GUARDING GROUNDS

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, July 24-Another
large crowd is looked for at the FIRE
mems carnival tonight and the indi-
cations are that the fremen If favor
ed by clear weather VIII break all
records of previous carnivals both as
to attendance and total receipts for
the week. The general committee,
of which Chief e. Clifford Wilson is
chairman has arranged some feature
for practically every night this week
and there will be numerous attrac-
tions for children.
Considering the weather the open
ing of the carnival on Saturday was
grand success and this was espe-
cially true of the firemen's parade in
the afternoon. Early in the after
noon there was a hard down pour
OF rain and II had been raining off
and on all day. Il was not until af-
! ternoon that Chief Wilson was able
to notify the various fire companies
i in nearby towns that the parade
would be held for sure and even at
\ that late hour all but two of those
who had promised arrived and par
ticipated in the parade. The Avon
dale company could not get here and
several of the other companies could
not bring their bands owing TO the
rain but all came in uniform and
with their apparatus. The local fire.
men greatly appreciated the trouble
that the visitors went to in making
it possible for holding the parade as
advertised. The Reliance Company
came from Wilmington and had one
Of its apparatus in line.
Because of so much water being in
some of the streets il was necessary
to change the route of the parade
some The line was formed on Main
street. East Newark The fremen
marched up Main street to the Deer
Park Hotel, counter-marched there
( returning to the carnival grounds by
/ Academy street The parade was
/ headed by the Newark Troop Of Boy
Scouts with Scout Masters Tarr and
I Chillas in charge. The Scouts made
an excellent impression and have
been doing good work for the fire
men in guarding their property for
the past few days, they having tents
on the grounds and camping there at
J nights
The companies in line were West
Grove, Pa, Elkton and Havre dc
Grace. Nd Smyrna, Dover and New
ark, Del. All were in uniform and
made an excellent showing. The
members of the Susquehanna Com
pany OF Havre de Grace, in all white
uniforms got much applause alonl
the line. A delegation of Camp Fire
Girls rode on the local company trucl
throughout the parade.
Owing to such a large quantity o
water being on the grounds some o
the tent attractions had to be aban
doned for Saturday night. The wo
men in charge of the various booths
however, did a thriving business
The total receipts for the night wer'
nearly $500. The attendance wa
about 5000 and in the crowd wer'
hundreds of visitors from othe
towns.

CORPORAL PUTS THIRTY
.COSSACkS To FLIGHT

BERLIN, Apr. 4.-The German Gen.
eral staff reports that Corporal Letat
of the Fifth Prussian Chasseurs has
been decorated with the Iron Cross of
the first class for exceptional bravery.
The corporal recently accompanied a
patrol of officers which was reconnoit-
ering the Russian positions southwest
of Baranovitchi. From a small hill
the patrol discovered a detachment of
about $50 Cossacks who were retiring
before an infantry attack and came
directly towards the height.
The German officers and their men
Idismounted to seek covering for they
expected fight with the Russian cav
airy. A moment later Corporal Legat
discovered a Cossack who had reached
the hill ahead of his comrades. Jump
ing on his horse again the corporal
dashed after the enemy and killed
| him with shot from his revolver.
In the meantime thirty other Co.'S
sacks had come up and the brave non
commissioned officer found himself
surrounded A shot from Russian
carbine shattered his jaw and he
seemed lost, but he kept his nerve.
Grabbing his lance with both hands
| he wildly swung it in a circle over
Ibis head and attacked the Cossacks.
The Russians were so surprised by
this unexpected resistance of a single
man that they turned and fed in all
directions.

ARRANGE TO HAVE

deavoring to see to it that the proper
ty of winter residents ana all va
cant and idle property in the city
is cleaned UP and kept clean through
the summer months. Recently several
places that had been over run with
brush and weeds for years have been
put in good order. Many of the win
ter residents neglect to arrange to
have their yards moved and cleaned
up while they are north. This gives
the city an ill-kept appearance and
is source of annoyance and discom-
fort to the owners of adjacent prop
erty who live here throughout
the year and keep their places in good
order. Winter residents should ar
range to have this work done during
their absence or give the city officers
authority to see that it is done

CUNARDLINER SUNK
By MINE In CHANNEL

New York, Oct. 10. - The Cunard
liner Alaunia has been sunk by a
mine in the English channel between
Falmouth and London according to
cable advices to the Cunard line here
to-day. The Alaunia sailed from this
port October with passengers but
the Cunard line officials believe that
they were all landed at Falmouth ac-
cording to the usual custom.
Captain Benson and some of the
crew were saved according to the cable
message, but some are missing.
The Alaunia called at Falmouth on
Tuesday and was on her way to Lon
don when she struck the mine some
time this morning.
All Passengers Safe
The Alaunia carried 200 passengers.
When the Alaunia left this port she
carried $4,000 tons of cargo, a large
part of which consisted of war sup
plies. She was vessel of 8,261 tons
She was commanded by Captain II. NJ

Question of Panic in Case of
Fire Causes Grave
Concern

Stroll through the Central high
'.chool halls and recitation rooms most
any time. Mr.. Citizen-Taxpayer, If you
would obtain some real inside infor-
nation as to whether or not Harris
burg should provide some immediate
relief for the really uncomfortable
congestion of student accommodations.
TO date the total Central high school
enrolment is 1.04s; the building has
capacity for caring comfortably for
about 900.
That the big student body must be
divided into two groups, one to study
during the morning session, the other
to recite during the afternoon session,
is pretty generally known to Harris
burg folks, Just how the great body
of pupils are crowded into the rooms,
however, probably isn't so we'll known.
Under present conditions it is not
cnly impossible to hold a mass meet
ing of Central boys and girls, but
chapel sessions for the entire school
are an impossibility; the great assem-
bly, room has long since been cut into
two portions and the partitioned sec
tion is subdivided into a couple of
recitation rooms.
How They Struggle Through
Furthermore, faculty meetings with
everybody present are an impossibility
except once In ABOUT SIX weeks or two
months. Professor II. G. Dibble. the
principal. tries to overcome this diff
Guilty by holding departmental gather
fngs. Laboratories are used for reci-
tatfon and study rooms: it is not un-
