Riot Narrowly Averted
When Guardsmen Are
Called SIackers by Greek

A riot was averted at the Man
haitian restaurant, 81 Market street,
Saturday night, by the arrival of a
member of the State Police, and the
assistance of police from the local
force. An immense crowd had gath
cred in the street in front of the
restaurant, and only the prompt and
effective measures adopted by the
officers of the law prevented serious
trouble.
Two Guardsmen, stationed here,
entered the restaurant in civilian
clothes and ordered food, for which
they refused to pay, according to on
lockers. The young men are Wayne
Jeffries, of Harrisburg, and George
G. Wren, of Steelton. Both are con-
nected with the Sanitary Unit.
The trouble that resulted drew a
crowd, and it was while there was
considerable talking among soldiers
on the sidewalk that a Greek en-
ploye of the restaurant came to the
door and made a statement regard
ing slackers. Hundreds of soldiers
had gathered. officer Davis, of the
State Police, ordered the Guardsmen
to appear before court this afternoon
or forfeit $25 each. After time the
crowd was dispersed without other
arrests being made.
Hundreds of persons have be-
sieged the police headquarters to-
day, asking that the young men con-
nected with the affair be released in
rider that they may accompany
their units to Camp Hancock.

pleaded guilty to the charge and
was sentenced to eleven months in
the Dauphin county Jail.
Shoemaker when questioned by
the court told frankly all the parti-
culars of his past life from the
time he met the woman in the
case" When asked why he did not
return the stolen money instead of
throwing it in the river, Shoemaker
said he did not think to make
amends. II only wanted to get rid
of the money; it was getting my
goat. l wasn't afraid of arrest but
l was afraid of detection"
Among the witn1 sses were Shoe
makers father, who is an aged
minister, and also his sister. W. 2.
Starkey, general superintendent of
the Pipe Bending Company, testl-
fed as prosecutor, telling of the
theft of the money July 19, the fail

stolen it, and the subsequent letter

Premier Kerensky has issued the
following proclamation:
ION September a member of the
Duma, Nj. Lvoff, arrived in Petrograd
and called upon me in the name of
General Korniloff to hand over all
civil and military powers to the gen.
eralissimo, who would form new
government at his pleasure. The au-
thenticity of this summons was af-
terwards confirmed by General Kor-
nilof himself, who had a conversa-
ton with me over the direct tele-
graphic wire between Petrograd and
main headquarters.
Considering this summons ad-
dressed through me to the proW-
sional government as an attempt by
certain quarters to profit by the
difficult situation of the country and
establish state of things contrary
to the conquests of the revolution,
the provisional government has rec
ognized the necessity of charging me,
for the safety of the republic regime,
to take the urgent, indispensable
measures necessary to cut at the
roots all attempts against the su-
preme power and rights of the citi-
zens won by the revolution.
KorniIoR Out

in the country of liberty and public
order, am taking all measures which

IfrcnCh Push Ahead


General Petain's troops last night
clinched the success they won north
east of Nerdun on Saturday, when
they pushed their lines ahead ma
terially in the Fosse and Cuarieres
wood sector The Germans were
obliged to abandon their furious as
saulting tactics of the day, probably
because of the heavy losses they sus-
tained in attacks which left the
French lines unshaken.
Paris characterizes the repulse sus-
tanned by the crown prince here as
an important" one and dwells upon
the extremely serious extent of the
casualties inflicted by the French fire.
English Arc Busy
There were only ralding operations
on the remainder of the French
army's front and there was a SINH
lar lack of activity of a major sort
along the British lines. General
Haig's troops, however, put in busy
night in consolidating the positions
taken by them yesterday northwest
of st. Quentin in the neighborhood
OF Hargicourt, London announces.
Berlin, however, declares that this
ground was retaken by the Germans
early to-day.
The Macedonian fighting is again
assuming importance. On the eX-
treme west of the front the French
have apparently massed a consid-
cradle force. Yesterday they re-
ported occupying several villages in
the Mailik region and the German
war office to-day admits that Teu-
tonic forces there were obliged to
retreat before superior French pres
sure.
The German advance in the Riga
region is definitely halted, according
to indications in the current reports
The only events reported there to-
day by Berlin are clashes between
reserves.

Husband of Woman Now
Living Across River Is
Perfect Man of Armv

One of the proudest brides in. the
United States, is Mrs. Urban H6ntz-
elman, whose husband is a soldier of
Company B, Fourth Pennsylvania
Infantry, and rated as among the
few absolutely perfect men in the
Army.
Mrs. Heintzelman is living with
Mrs. James Lands, of Wormleys-
burg, during the war HeintZelman
attracted a great deal of attention
at thebeginning of the war by pass
ing a perfect physical examination.
There have been a few others since
then, but he was the first in any re-
cruiting office. The examiners in
pronouncing him 100 per cent. per-
feet explained that he was normal in
every respect. He had been in the
army five years previously and the
training is believed to he responsible
for his present wonderful condition.
Before her marriage Mrs. Heintzel-
man was Miss Meta NJ. A. Long, of
near Allentown, a trained nurse. She
wanted to go to France but her hus-
band says one in the family is
enough.

DESPERATE HAND

RESULTS in DRAW
Italians and Austrians Fight
on Even Terms; Ger

Udine, Italy Sept. 9.-The fight
against the heights northeast of Co
rizia continues night and day, during
good and bad weather. The con-
tinued contest seems to the observer
to be animated by superhuman force
the Italians and the Austrians almost
constantly engaged in hand-to-hand
encounters.
A strange situation is brought
about by the two forces, virtually
equal in numbers, strength and de-
termination, struggling for suprem-
acy in circumsCribed arc where it is
impossible for either side to employ
more men or artillery. Gaps in the
ranks are instantly filled and thus the
contending forces remain so balanced
that victory apparently is impossible
to either side. The fiercenesS of the
struggle is indicated by the fact that
in twelve hours the Italians attacked
the enemy five times.

avowed by his own government and
that he will be recalled and repri-
