tenders. after beating off repeated
counter attacks by the Germans. again
took the offensive and once more re-
captured the greater part of the viii
lage of Fleury and the celebrated
Hhiaumont work.
The success at Thiaumont is looked
upon as more important as evidence of
the energy of the French infantry than
as military achievement. The work
is so swept by the artillery of either
side as to be of little use to the pos
SCISSORS.
French officers point to the fact that
the efforts of the Germans are now re-
stricted to the Fleury- y-Thiaumont sec
ton as an evidence, of the growing
weakness of tho invaders forces in the
Meuse region. The French have sue

Meals Says He'll
Consider Giant Petition
Relative to the JitneyS

The giant petition asking the city
authorities not to interfere with the
1itneys during the Garments strike will
likely be mounted on a reel according
to Mayor E. S. Meals to-day.
THE petition is a huge one and I'll
want to look it over" said the city's
executive. Now then in order to do
this I'll probably have to mount it on
reel 1t can be handled better that
way.
.! can't do much" said Mayor E.
5. Meals to-day when asked about the
jitney petition, Ito my mind the COM
mittee is making a mistake. I told
Thorpe he ought to keep quiet, as he
is stirring up trouble for himself The
Jltneys were put on only for an ac-
commodation, and they are now fail
ing to give the people the service"
1000 Names ON Petition
The petition was presented to Mayor
Meals by j. j. Thorpe, vice president
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees.
Mr.. Thorpe was accompanied by the
committee of strikers. The petition
contained 1000 names. In discussing
the paper Mayor Meals said:
The people who are handling the
Jitneys do not deserve consideration.
They disobey instructions, fail to give
the people accommodation, and run
when they see fit. A petition does not
mean any lHlnS. Inc people who sign
ed their names did so to please the
men with the petition.
Tired of Jitney Operation
I am getting tired of the way they
run the Jitneys. I have instructed the
chief of police to keep them on the
move. They cannot stand along Mar
ket street What would we do If there
was a fire in the business section. Jtt-
neys cannot stand along the curb. I'll
have the chief attend to this at once
and If the patrolmen do not attend to
their duties and do as ordered they are
liable to lose their jobs.
iii drive them all off the streets.
They do not appreciate what has been
done. l told Thorpe he ought to at
tend to his own business in this jitney
matter. The first thing we know
there will be an order from the State
to permit only those having a license
to run
Something They Didn't Want
The strikers are asking for sone4
thing they did not want when they
were employed by the Harrisburg
Railways Company. When the jitneys
started they came to me and asked
that they be taken off because 1t hurt
the traction business and would mean
a loss of Jobs for them. Now they
want the jitneyS to run. permitted
them to run as an accommodation.
When they fail to accommodate they
must stop. Now they send in a petit
ton to have the jitneys keep going"

LEAGUE HEAD Is
GUEST OF CLUB
President J. H. Farrell Says
Many Nice Things About
Local Team

President ]. II. Farrell, of the New
York State League, was a welcome
spectator at to-day's double-he
with Wilkes-Barre. He arrived in Har-
risburg last night and is here to fix
up affairs with the Barons, and to
see what Harrisburg looks like. He
had many nice things to say about
this city and the pace set by the
islanders. In speaking about league
affairs President Farrell said:
The stories about quitting are all
bosh. The league is going nicely now.
Harrisburg is setting a pace that is
helping the game. Winning games
set the patrons going. Harrisburg
will be a great attraction in all cities
from now until the close of the sea-
son, and it looks as if the attendance
would set a big boost in every city.
The team is playing the class of ball
that will win in any league. Harris
burg has a fast bunch, equal to any
on the circuit.
WiIkes-BaIre Is All Right.
President Farrell said that the
Wilkes-B Barre affairs had been adjusted
satisfactorily and that the game would
go better under the new management.
Mike Donlin was expected here to-day
to take over the Barons.
Among the spectators at the game
yesterday were Harry Sparrow, Sec
retary of the New York Americans,
and Larry Sutton. coach for the De-
troit Americans. Both were enthusi-
astic in their praises for the good
work by the locals. President George
Cockill was told that he would get
players farmed out next season, and
that anything possible would be done
to boost the game in Harrisburg. 1t
was Sutton who helped Harrisburg
land Mills.
Harrisburg will wind up the home
series with three games next week
with Scranton, Monday, Tuesday and
wednesday. They jump to Bingham
ton on Thursday and will return after
a weeks trip for another series.

The fund for the relief of the fanai-
lies of the soldiers now at the border,

knowledged through the Telegraph,
amounts to about $500, which has been
transferred TO the ladies of the Pre-
paredness Association of this city. This
money is available for the needy de-
pendents of soldiers of this section
and it is hoped that the fund may be
still further increased by public sub
scription. When it appeared that the
men would not be sent into Mexico
after their journey to the border, pub
lie interest in the subscription to this
fund subsided. but it is apparent that
whether there be war or not, the de-
pendents will be in need just the same.
All contributions may be made
through this newspaper and will be
promptly acknowledged. One of the
contributors, a young woman. sub
scribed So a month for the relief. AL

and not a single dependent of any

Since midnight of August ga
Turks, whose strength is estimated at
$4,000, have been attacking our po-
sition near Romani. east of Port Said,
on front of seven to eight miles.
The position at dusk on the 4th
of August was that their attacks had
made no impression on our fortified
position. while on the southern flank
the lighting also was going in our
favor and between 400 and 500 pris-
oners had been captured there.
Ships of the royal navy rendered
valuable service from the bay of Tina
Fighting still was in progress
when this report was dispatched. The
temperature during the day reached

Turkish war Office on Friday stated
that Turkish ailmen had attacked with

Brussels Refuses to Pay

Serious Crisis Expected

London, Aug. 5. The city of
Brussels has refused to pay the fine of
100000 marks. (S6,250,0 ,000) imposed
by the Germans in consequence of
the demonstration which took place
on July 21, the national fete day,
says a dispatch from The Hague to
the Exchange Telegraph Company. A
serious crisis is expected.
Acting Burgomaster Lemonnier, the
dispatch adds, has sent a letter to
General Won Kissing, the German Gov
ernor of Belgium, flatly declining to
pay the fine. He says it was imposed
on the public because of it's patriotic
sentiment and therefore is illegal and
inadmissible.
The director of the Belgian National
Bank of Antwerp has been deported
by the German authorities, says a dis
patch to the same company from The
Hague, because of his refusal to pay

Kaiser DiscGrds Uniform

Berlin, Aug. 5. The Kaiser is

harvest. He is NOT only setting a

self in good physical trim. Healthy,
tanned and divested of field gray and
high orders, the Kaiser is toiling
whole afternoons in the heat of the
sun and yielding the imperial scythe

pertness of a peasant.
Public interest once more has turn

harvest. which is considered of far
greater importance TO the outcome
of the war. The badly needed hot
weather at last has set in and prom

reports pouring in from all parts of
Germany continue increasingly opti-
mistic. Bumper crops of rye, barley
and oats are being confidently pre-
