Whole German Line Is
Drawn Back in Russia
By Associated Press

Petrograd. Oct. 25.-The German
retreat on the northern end of the
front continues. The war Office re-
ports that the Russian vanguards
lost touch in some sectors with the
retiring Germans, who destroyed all
bridges, roads and buildings.
The Russian statement says that
the Germans who left their ad-
vanced positions so far have retired
about fifteen miles in the Riga re-
gion near the Pakoff high roads and
in the sector of the Little Jaegal
river.
German attempts to make another
landing on the Werder peninsula
in the region of Tompa were frus.
trated yesterday by Russian artillery,
the war office announced to-day.
on Tuesday the Germans were re-
ported to be on the Rodenpois-
Turkalan line.
This line indicates an extensive re-
treat by the Germans who are now
back nearly to the Dvina river re,
gion. Rodenpois is on the Great
Jaegel river, about twelve miles
north of the Dvina. Turkalan is on
the Little Jaegel. eleven miles from
the DVina.

FISHING CREEK
CROSSING IS UP
Prominent People Declare 1t
Is Dangerous; Railroads
Want to Be Shown

Testimony to the effect that the
Fishing Creek Valley crossing of the
Northern Central and Philadelphia
and Reading railroads near Fort Hun
ter is an extremely dangerous one be-
cause of obtsructions,. moving of fast
trains. shifting of cars, limited view
CT tracks, especially toward the
north, and the Increasing traffic was
given before Public Service Commits
sioner James Alcorn at the Capitol to-
day in the application of the Country
Club of Harrisburg for an order for
abolition of the crossing. Attention
was especially called to the fact that
not only was the crossing much used
because of the construction of the new
travel from the Fishing Creek Valley,
whose farmers attend the city mar
kets; by lumber teams and by pleas
ure vehicles going to and from Man
ada Gap.

Italian Skill Tested by
Great Offensive Begun in
Alps BY Austro- Germans
BY Associated Prrss.

General Cadora's skill and STRAIT
egy, which made possible the cap
ture of the heights on the eastern
bank of the 1sonzo, is being put to
the test by a strong Austro-German
offensive on the front from Flitsch
to the BainZissa plateau, northeast
of Gorilla.
Austria's army could do little
against the Italians, who were press
ing forward steadily and breaking
the morale of the Austrian army.
The Chiapavano valley already had
been entered and soon the Austrian
forces would have been cut in two.
Triest was threatened seriously and
Pola, the great Austrian port, was
in danger. The italian efforts were
having their effect.
Italians Prepared
Germany, which up to this time
has sent little of men or munitions
to this front, has come to the help
of the losing Austrians and it is
German soldiers and German mu-
nitions and guns that are thunder
ing against Cadora's defenses along
the Isonzo. The Italians. General
Cadorna reports, are STEADY and
prepared"
After q heavy mbardment the
Austro- German infantry was thrown
forward against the Italian positions
near Fletch, near Tolmino, and on
the northern part of the Bainzissa
plateau, a front of twenty-five miles.
The first blow brought no great
gains, the Austro- Germans, by their
own report, gaining only the fore
most Italian defenses at these points.
Backs to River
Generally the Italians have some
advantage in terrain. but the Aus
trlans and Germans hold many high
mountain positions near the italian
lines. The Italians also are fighting
with their backs to the Isonzo river.
The German political situation is
still clouded, but the absence of def
mite news may be the calm before
the storm. DIR. Michaelis, the bureau
crat chancellor, is reported to have
placed his resignation in the hands
of the Emperor, but there has been
no confirmation.
Michaelis Must Go
Nearly all the political parties in
| the Reichstag have Joined in the
drive against DIR. Michaelis, which
became most intense when he at
temped to throw the blame for the
mutiny in the German Navy on ia
the Independent Socialists, who have
been persistent hecklers of his pol
| icy. The Juror raised by the an
lnouncement of the mutiny has sub
sided apparently, but the govern
ment has taken no steps to prose
cute the Socialist deputies accused
| by Michaelis and Admiral Won
Capelle.
Emperor William probably is in q
quandary as to who to select for
the chancellorship. Prince Won Bue-
low is opposed by the Socialists and
other Reichstag elements do not
want Won Bethmann- -Hollweg return.
ed. But Michaelis eventually will &C
in order to appease the wrath of the
Reichstag whose opposition even the
Emperor must consider.

DAUPHIN CASE
A PRECEDENT
Chairman Mackey Rules in
Compensation Case of
Mrs. Minnie Morrow

The State Compensation Board to-
da; handed down an opinion estab-
fishing n rule in payment of compen-
sation to a wife who had been de-
serted by her husband. who had not
complied with orders to support her
but who was taken care of by mem
bers of her husbands family. The
case was that of Mrs. Minnie Morrow,
204 Walnut street against the II.
koppers Company, Pittsburgh. which
is building the coke ovens at Steel
ton. The Dauphin county court made
an order for support upon the hus-
band and no payments were made by
the man for two years prior to his
death and while the mother of the
husband had entered bond as security
of payment the claimant explained
that she had not proceeded upon this
bond for the reason that her mother
! in-law had been very kind to her and
had been providing for her wants to
certain extent and furnished her
with the necessities of life. The de-
cedent's brother testified that he from
time to time had made payments to
the claimant" the opinion, which is
by Chairman Mackey, then says: THE
evidence clearly shows that the
claimant at no time was self-support-
the payments of this order by her
husband or contributions in their
stead by relatives of the deceased" p"
In a Pittsburgh case it was held
by the chairman that compensation
was rightfully allowed for a cousin
of a deceased man because he had
stood in relation of parent to him
and he was a member of his house
hold, and in a Clinton county case it

power to graduate compensation in
proportion to the percentage of dis
ability suffered in an accident. An
agreement by employers in such a
case would not be a quittance against
further liability.
A new hearing is granted in the
case of Turouski VS.. Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, Scranton; compensa-
tion given in Lane VS.. Horn and Har-
dart Baking Company, Philadelphia,
where an employe died of heat pros
tration while working at lunch
counter, and award of the referee af-
firmed in Fucker VS.. Carnegie Steel
Company, in which it is held that the
defendant failed to prove suicide and
therefore accident must be assumed
and the referee upheld in Nelson VS..
Robbins Columbia, in which the con-
tention was overruled that because q
| chauffeur ran n car used for pleasure
he should be classed as a domestic
servant the opinion saying that it
makes very little difference whether
the man is within or without that
| class.
| In another opinion Chairman Mack

suggests that there must be some
work which the injured man. who

an employer can produce is that he

Russians Betrayed by
Traitors in Gulf Battle
BY AtSoeiatcd PresS

Petrograd, Oct. 25.-How the Ger
mans were aided in the capture of
Oesel and Moon Islands in the Gulf
of Riga by sympathiZers there is told
by NJ. Vishnevsky, a commissioner
sent to observe conditions there and
who escaped in an open boat after
the occupation. He described the
heroic efforts made by the officers
to rally their men and asserts that
several of them, including General
Martinoff, commander of the gar
rison, committed suicide when the
troops surrendered.
That the Germans had knowledge
of the conditions on the island is
indicated by the fact that when Avia-
tor Safonov brought down a German
hydroairplane, the dead occupant
was found to have complete
plans not only of existing but of pro-
posed fortifications. General Marti-
noff's scouts frequently observed
lanterns flashing from the shore and
