MGR. McDEVITT NAMED
BISHOP OF HARRISBURG
[continued From First Page1

assistant at the Church of the Nativity.
Allegheny avenue and Belgrade street.
He served there until he was appointed
superintendent of parish schools in
May 1899. On the celebration of his
silver anniversary as a priest he was
created domestic prelate with the title
OF monsignor by Pope Plus X.
Mgr. McDevitt is widely known not
only in local circles, but nationally,
His work as lecturer and his activi-
ties as an educator brought him into
prominence. He is vice-president of
the playground commission and is act
lively interested in various philan-
thropic enterprises. One of the monu-
ments of his efforts in behalf of the
children of this city is the Catholic
girls high school, of which he is
head. He is at present attached to
the Church of st. John the Evan
gelist.
The appointment of Mgr. McDevitt
as Bishop Shanahan's successor was
received with some surprise in this
city to-day. Mgr. McDevitt is widely
known here and was a close personal
friend of Bishop Sanahan, but his
appointment was almost unexpected,
it was said. He is an active charity
noted lead in activities similar to those
of the late bishop.
Official confirmation was not received
at ST. Patrick's Cathedral. The Rt.
Rev. NJ. M. Hassett, rector, was out of
the city. The Revs. T. B. Johnson and
D. P. Reardon for this reason were
unable to discuss the appointment
1t is believed that special ceremonies
will be arranged upon the installation
of the new bishop and when he as
sumes his charge in the Harrisburg
diocese

COssacks Charge on Foes
Trenches With Their Trained
Horses; New Russian Idea

Berlin, July 13. = Russia's Cos
sacks of the steppes and their high
ly trained horses are playing a start
ling role in the onslaughts of General
Brusiloff's armies upon the German
and Austrian lines in Southern Volhy-
MIA and Galicia, according to dis
patches from the eastern front to the
Berlin papers.
The earlier dispatches told of ap-
parently senseless charges of Cossack
cavalry upon the German barbed wide
and machine guns. 1t now appears
that the Russians have devised a new
method of attacking intrenched posi-
tions, in WI ich they utilize the speed
of the Cossack horses and the skill of
their riders to carry them across open
spaces.
Open Lines For Cossack Dash
The Russian infantry work their
way forward by rushes and dig them
selves in about 500 yards from the
German or Austrian trenches. Mean
while the Cossacks are brought for
ward behind the front line, which
then opens out to let them go through.
At a signal the Cossacks leap for
ward, deploying at the gallop to a
widely extended formation, and rush
on the German machine guns, every
man lying along the side of his horse
and every horse coming at the dead
run. Owing to their open order and
their speed they are able to get close to
the German lines with fewer casualties
than infantry would suffer.
Then, when they seem about to
rush to destruction on the barbed
wire and machinL guns, all pull UP,
drop to the ground and open fire, the
horses, perfectly trained, lying down
to form breastworks. The rifiemen
open a furious fire upon the German
positions, under cover of which the
Russian infantry rush across the dan
ger space and form for the real charge.
Sometimes the Cossacks mad with
excitement, fail to understand why
they must halt in midcareer and not
rush on in a charge such as their
grandfathers would have made, but
which is hopeless against barbed wire
and machine guns.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-07-13

inexhaustible supplies of guns and
ammunition with which they are pro-
vided continues to be a source of
wonder to military writer's. At least
six great armies are engaged against
the Austrians and Germans on
Russia's western front; All of them
are using great quantities of ammuni-
ton even those not definitely on the
offensive.
The forces under Grand Duke Mich
olas in Armenia and Persia have been
fighting vigorously against the Turks
for months. A few weeks ago parts
of these forces, particularly those west
of Erzerum, were compelled to fall
back in the face of a stronger army.
This week the Grand Duke resumed
the offensive in this region and re-
captured Mamakhatum, fifty miles
west of Erzerum, so that the Turks
have fallen back some 25 miles from
the furthest point reached in their
counter offensive.
Meanwhile the armies directly south
of the Pinsk marshes are fighting a
pitched battle with the Austro- Ger
man forces of General Won Linsingen
along the line of the Stokhod river
1t probably will be some days before
the decision is reached, as the Teutons
have brought up very strong rein
forcements in the hope of retaining
possession of Kovel loss of which
would necessitate a re-grouping over
a long stretch of the front.
North of the Pinsk marches fighting
at present is largely with artillery. In
Galicia the Russian armies are re-
forming for continuation of the Of
fensive.
In the west the renewed efforts of
the German Crown Prince at Verdun
temporarily are taking precedence in
the public mind over the battle of the
Somme. The attack Just delivered by
the Germans before Verdun is the sew
enth great onslaught with dense
masses of troops since the operations
began some five months ago. The
Germans have made a slight gain but
apparently this has not lessened the
confidence of the French in their abil-
ity to hold fast They still have three
solid lines of defense which must be
penetrated before the German obiec-
tive can be gained.
The British are still engaged in
clearing the Germans from fortified
positions which must be taken before
the general offensive can be renewed.

Bothersome Questions
Apt to Arise Over Boat

Washington, D. c., July 13.-Al-
though the contention of the British
and French embassies that the Ger
man submarine merchant ship at Bal
timore is battleship has little weight
at the State Department in view of
the department. information that the
vessel is purely a mercantile ship, off,
cials to-day saw that other bothersome
questions might arise in connection
with the undersea boat.
Already 1t was said, consideration
is being given 10 a suggestion that the
government should withhold news of
the boats sailing to prevent information
from reaching the allies. The depart
ment is copcerned, too, as to the boats
treatment if discovered by enemy
cruisers in the Atlantic. Under a rul-
ing that the vessel is = merchant craft,
the State Department could not coun-
tenance its sinking in violation of in
ternational law.

BETHLEHEM GETS
RUSSIAN ORDER
Shares in 365,000-Ton Rail Re-
quirements; Weeks
Buying Heavy

New foreign buying both for war
and peace uses says the Iron Age to-
day, continues to be the mainstay of
the steel market In only one direc-
ton has domestic demand made itself
felt in the past week; that was in the
placing of orders for the first half of
1917 by portion of the agricultural
implement manufacturers
The buying of the allied countries
Is heaNy, and promises to be so for
months. Russia's tonnages are specta-
cular, Her much announced rail
orders, as now rounded up, represent
fully $4,000 tons, and more rails are
wanted. In fact, the question is how
much our mills can guarantee to de-
liver by the middle of 1917. LacKa-
wanna, Cambria and Bethlehem mills
snare these orders with the Steel Cor
poration. The French Government
asks for 10000 tons additional rails
Great Britain, after putting $4,000
tons on the Steel Corporations books
III the past three months, still seek
more, and with Canadian mills trying
to buy rail blooms on this side il is =
question how much they can take OF
the SO,OOO-ton inquiry that has just
come from the Canadian Pacific. The
Russian rails were higa- priced, but
the $50 widely published includes
spikes and splice bars.
The other striking feature in eX-
port trade is 10000 tons of baro
wire for Russia, just closed by the
Steel Corporation. This has long hung
over the market. The allies are still
trying TO place 100000 tons of barb
wire, in addition to a round lot want
ed for Italy.
In exports apart from war is an
inquiry for 10000 tons of small bars.
Indicating that the shell-steel orders
have not given out, Pittsburgh was
asked Wednesday to take on 10000
tons of rounds for Great Britain, but
mills there cannot make the deliveries
wanted. Canadian buyers are in the
market for shell forgings for the
second quarter of 1917.
indications are that the July out
put of the mills will fall below the
June rate, as the Fourth of July shut
down stretched out to As hours in
some cases, and hot weather is now
cutting down production. These fac
tors are offsetting some of the new
stee! capacity scheduled to come in

Foreign Born Must Stay
Loyal Even if Not Pleased
With Affairs, Wilson Says

Wilson told a citizenship convention
here to-day that the American gov
ernment must insist that foreigners
becoming citizens remain loyal even
if they are not pleased with the way
affairs are conducted. Loyalty means
nothing, he declared, unless it is
coupled with self-sacrifce. He added
that Americans cannot teach loyalty
unless they practice 1T.
The President discussed the problem
of Americanizing foreign born citizens.
Native-born Americans were warned
by the President to examine them
selves carefully to see whether they
have burning in them the true light of
America which they expect to show to
these foreigners.

ference between the board of commits

Cough County Treasurer Mark Num-
ma and representative or representa-
ives of the Commonwealth Trust
company, trustee for the fund.
OF years the funds have been taken
SSsere are Oh py the Commonwealth Trust
company and the county has netted a
nice little sum for letting the company
nave this privilege. The net financial
return the county earned last year
from this source for instance was
something above three per cent. on
FUNDS amounting to approxin ately
S26s,OOO. The trust company got
ABOUT !! !,lO4 out of it, after paying the
county Its share. This meant approx
imately half of one per cent.
Inc method by which the trust COM
pany is paid in accordance with the
contract with the old board of com
mlssloners is what will interest the
countys conferees tomorrow. Con-
Iroller cough says he wants to know
on what basis this is fixed
The act of 1911 provides that in

IoO,OOO, the county funds shall be
cared for by sinking fund commits
sion consisting of the county commits
sioners, the controller an dthe treas
urer. Where no controller exists, the
auditors may serve.
Inc whole problem to be settled is
whether or not the county authorities
serving as sinking fund commission
can earn more for the county than
what is now earned by the trust com
pany. The latter pays more than
three per cent and according to Mr..
Cough, it is doubtful if there are
any type of securities in which the
county would be permitted by law to
invest, which would net Dauphin
county as much as it now receives.
