not been made public. However it is
understood, unofficially. that bids have
oeen received and whether or not
council will act on this matter at the
meeting Monday night, is anxiously
awaited by residents of the borough.
Many persons are asking Fire
Chief Malehorn about the matter
Heads of the different fire companies
are daily requesting some explana-
uon in regard to Councils action,
but the Chief states he does not know
what move will be taken next.
The fire chief said to-day he did
not know why Council was tagging,
but that he believed it was for some
good reason. H. continued that if
the matter is not soon given attention,
1t will be next summer before the
apparatus arrives. He declared that

CONGREGATION TO
REBUILD CHURCH
st. Peters Lutheran Edifice De-
stroyed by Fire Will Be
Replaced

At meeting of the st. Peters Luth-
eran church congregation of Highspire
last night it was decided to rebuild the
edifice destroyed by fire several weeks
ago. Whether or not the new struc-
ture will so up on the same plot where
the other was destroyed will be a
question to be decided at q meeting
of the congregation next Wednesday
evening
Several sights on which to erect the
church are under consideration by
church officials but 1t is likely the
church will built on the old plot, ac-
cording to one of the officials to-day.
No architect has been selected and
no estimates as to what the new
structure would cost could be secured.
However. it was learned that the
church will be somewhat larger than
the old one and will be built on an up
to-date plan.
A building committee composed of
eight church members was appointed
to select an architect and report at the
next meeting. Hiram McCaulley was
appointed chairman of this committee.
s. A. Brehm, was appointed chairman
OF the financial committee composed
OF eleven members. This committee
is to look after the financial end and
devise methods to raise money for the
construction of the new building and
report at the next meeting.

bulgarian movement across the
Danube from it in Dobrudja, made
possible by the Russian evacuation of
the province.
1t is not only here, however, that
the Sereth line is threatened for de-
spite tenacious defense by the Rus
slams and Rumanians, the line north
westward beyond the Buzeu river is
not holding well against the Teutonic
pressure, while the efforts to keep the
Teutons in check in the Moldavian
frontier valleys is apparently proving
still less successful
A break in this line on the south
erly front would imperil .the Mold
avian frontier portion while the pierc-
ing of the frontier line itself not an
apparent improbability, would en-
danger the entire line running south
west ward to the Danube.
In these circumstances, commenta-
tors in entente capitals are consider
ing the possibility of the Russians be-
ing compelled to abandon the line of
the Sereth and withdraw to TIE Rus
sian frontier, or beyond it to Bess-
arabia.
The French, British and Italian
premiers and important military sub
ordinates in several entente ministries

and navy that as Germany's offer of
peace negotiations had been refused
the war would be continued with q
view to an understanding forced by

the election law for any form of contest
or recount on referendum. Political
corrupters may. in these States, bribe
voters. colonize voters and repeat them
to their hearts content and redress of
any kind is practically impossible. A

PENNSY PLANS
LARGE TERMINAL
Abandons Subway Idea in Phil
adelphia; to Spend Million
ON New Broad Street Station

Philadelphia, Jan. 6. - Complete
renovation of Broad street station and
the erection of a large addition to the
present building, so that the terminal
will front on the new parkway when
that project is finished, are being
planned by Pennsylvania railroad off,
cials. The improvements will cost
several million dollars.
News of this latest addition to the
ings that are to line the parkway be-
came known yesterday afternoon, and
was Immediately confirmed by officials
of the company. Plans for the project
are being completed now by Pennsyl-
vania engineers.
The addition to the present terminal
building will be along the lines of the
Pennsylvania railroads handsome ter
minal in New York City, and when
completed will make the station here
not only one of the largest in the
country, but also one of the most beau
tiful.
Frontage ON Parkway
Under the plans the new front to
ehS StdtloH Will run along the lower
SIDE of the parkway from Fifteenth
street to Sixteenth and will be erected
on ground that now is owned by the
company Negotiations are now pend
ing between the city and the COM
pany for the erection of the building.
News of the railroads intention to
renoVate Broad street station and erect
a handsome addition on the parkway
came to light in connection with the
application filed last week by Transit
Director William S. Twining for a GER
tiifcate of public convenience author
izlng the city to proceed at once with
the construction work on the new
Broad street subway.
Stop Original Plans
Originally it was intended to have
the pennsylvania railroad use this
tunnel Jointly with the city for the
operation of its trains between North
Philadelphia and Broad street station.
subsequently plan was outlined for
a Pennsylvania railroad owned subway
IN Filbert and Thirteenth streets and
Ridge avenue. This was considered for
several weeks by Pennsylvania rail-
road officlals, but its cost was said
not to be justified by the demands on
the company at this time, and this
plan was abolished, too. The rebuild
ing OF Broad street station and the ad-
dltion thereto were considered more
practicable.
Director Twining let it be known
yesterday that the railroad company
practically had given up all intentions
OF building a subway in this city.
