Cane Sugar All

To-day, Harrisburg is face to
face with the most serious sugar
shortage this city has ever ex-
perienced. There is no sugar
famine here at the present time,
but such a condition is not only
possible, but highly probable,
unless every householder in the
city exercises extreme care in
making purchases of this COM
modify during the next three or
four weeks.
Of still more importance, pos
sibly, is the announcement that
many Harrisburg bakers have
less than a weeks supply of
sugar on hand. This means
that cakes and pastries will soon
soar out of sight, or will be dis
continued entirely until the
sugar situation becomes normal.
Several Harrisburg baking con-
Germs intimate that they may be
compelled to close down their

Americans Stick to Guns
Until Waves Wash Them
From Deck of Antilles

A French Port, Oct. 22.-Survivors
of the United States transport An
TILES, which was sunk by q German
submarine last week while being
conveyed on her homeward trip by
American warships, have been land
ed here by auxiliary vessels and are
being cared for by the American con-
sulate. Some of the men have been
lodged in local hotels and a few have
left for Paris.
The torpedo struck the ship at 6. Is
o'clock Wednesday morning. Many
OF those on board were killed in their
berths and others while dressing. The
explosion killed the engineer, oilers
and mechanics and those of the crew
who were in the hunks below.
All the survivors praise the captain
of the Antilles and the members of
the gun crew, who stuck to their
posts while the officers searched with
heldglasses for the submarine until
the waves closed over the ship.
When the Antilles sank forty or
nifty men were at the stern. Most
OF them leaped fifty feet or more in
to the sea as the stern rose to a per-
pendicular position, and some were
drawn down by the suction of the
sinking vessel.
The submarine was not signed
either before or after the explosion.
The sea was running high at the
time, making it difficult to save the
crew and passengers. Some suryi-
vors, clinging to debris. were in the
water an hour before they were
sighted by the lifeboats.

GERMAN ARMY
RECOILS UNDER
FRESH ASSAULT
British and French Armies
Advance Nearly a Mile
on Narrow Front

In cooperation with the French
on his left, Field Marshal Haig
launched a new blow along a narrow
front at the German lines northeast
of Ypres this morning.
The allied infantry moved for
ward in the neighborhood of the
Ypres-Staden railway and on the out
skirts of Houtholst wood on the eX-
treme northern edge of the active
front in Flanders. The French adj
vance was along a width of about
three-fifths of a mile. The British at
tack was probably along a somewhat
wider front, extending towards Poel-
capelle and possibly taking in the
area of that town which has been the
scene of desperate fighting within the
last few weeks. The German reac-
tions were extremely persistent here.
Both groups of attacking troops
scored early successes. Paris an
nounced that all their obiectives were
attained by the French troops, while
Field Marshal Haig reported salts
factory progress for the British.
The operation apparently is aimed
at bringing the left flank of the allied
advance somewhat further forward
as a support to the center, where the
wedge has been driven farthest into
the German front.
British naval airmen who raided
German bases in Belgium and con-
Quoted scouting operations over the
enemy's territory yesterday brought
or forced down six German airplanes.

Force, Says Premier

Petrograd, Oct. %. Premier
Kerensky on opening the Russian
preliminary parliament in the Mar
insky Palace, made u ringing speech
in which he said:
Russia wants peace by right. but
we never will bow our heads to
force"
This declaration was warmly ap-
plauded by the members of nil
political factions. The Premier, who
has just recovered from his recent
illness, and was slightly pale, stood
on raised dais in tnc great audi
ence hall. His addr ass was largely
confined to an explanation of the
military situation and a declaration
as to the necessity of saving the
country. He said:
I'VE must fight only to save the
country"
Premier Kerensky in the course of
his speech paid an enthusiastic
tribute to the valor of the Russian
sailors, but said he could not say as
much for Russia's troops on land.

handed against the German cruisers

Two women of one ship waved a
piece of white cloth which was per-
fectly visible. They were silenced by
a volley from the German cruisers.

Professor Miller denied vigorously that
he was an old-fashoned or anti-modcrn. To
emphasize it he expressed the highest re-
gard for the works of Sargent and the late
william Chase.
"They are artists" he said conclusively.
