dard and The National Guardsman con-
tribute the following on the stand of
Representative w. Frank James for
conscription:
"Made famous in an hour of patriotic
deliverance in the house Of Representa-
tives, Comrade- Congressman w. Frank
James, republican, of Michigan, has
received bushels of complimentary COM
munications from his comrades of the
war with Spain, and patriots generally
from Maine to California. This orator
and statesman served in 1898 as pri-
vate in Co. F. Thirty-fourth Michigan
volunteers. and participated in the
campaign which resulted in the capture
of Santiago. He is an active member
of the Millar Camp, United Spanish
War Veterans, Department of Michi-
gan.
'In the recent great debates in the
house he came out strongly for select
i've conscription. as he had experienced
the horrors of the volunteer system in
the Cuban campaign, which service re-
suited in the reduction of his weight
from $50 to SO pounds, due to lack of
medical and commissary supplies and
rank insanitation, coupled with climatic
conditions. Comrade James made the
pacifists and others who favored the
volunteer bill sit up and take>notice.

sion.

Admiral Mayo will proceed i'm
mediately to Washington and will
there make full report to the. Sec
retary of the Navy. Admiral Mayo
visited the English fleet and our
own forces in British and French
waters in order that he might
familiarize himself with the condi-
tions under which the allied forces
are operating"

Violations of Full Crew
Law Charged Against
P. R. R. and P. and r.

Complaints are to be preferred be-
fore the Public Service Commission
charging that the Pennsylvania and
the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
roads are violating the full crew act
of 1911 in the operation of freight
trains. The complaints will be brought
by William N. Trinkle and Harry d.
Jones. counsel for the Brotherhood of
Railway Tralnmen. who handled pre-
vious complaints which were that the
law was not being observed in the
operation of passenger trains on three
railroads. These cases were decided
by the Commission some time ago
and taken to the Superior Court.
The new complaint will be the first
to be raised in regard to freight serv-
ice. They will charge the Reading
with falling to operate freight trains
between Frackville and Mahanoy
Plane with the number of men re-
quired by the law, and similar Of
fense by the Pennsylvania Railroad
on it's Sewickley branch.
The complaints viii be the first to
be raised in regard to the full crew
law since the war began and are in
tended to be tests of the act in regard
to the freight provisions.

P. R. R. to Build New
Transfer Station Above
City to Relieve Congestion

Plans are being worked out for a
large one-story concrete building on
the Pennsylvania Railroad plot ad-
joining Linglestown road, and located
between the main tracks of the Penn
sy and the line of the Harrisburg
Railways Company. This building is
to be a transfer Station for the clas-
sihcation of express shipments The
total cost is not estimated. Construc-
tion of this building will begin as
soon as plans have been officially
approved.
For some time congested conditions
at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station,
due to record breaking express ship
ments, have caused delays both to
trains and in handling express con-
signments At present the classifica-
tion of shipments is made on the sta
tion platform which is causing much
inconvenience in handling of trains.
With a special station for handling
through express shipments and clas-
sification. considerable relief will be
afforded ct the passenger station.
Surveys have been made and blue
prints will be forwarded to Phila-
delphia for approval within a few
days. Bids will be asked for Mt the
earliest possible moment in order that
the new structure may be ready for
the holiday rush.

GERMAN MORALE
BROKEN BY HARD
QUICK ATTACKS
Kaiser's Army Is Much Less
Formidable Than on
Former Occasions
BY associated Press

British Front in France and Bel
gium, Oct. IL. - At an early hour
to-day the British troops which be-
gan an attack in Flanders this morn
ing had penetrated several hundred
yards into the enemy's territory on
a siX-mile front from near Houtholst
wood to a point below the Ypres-
Roulers Railway and were battling
along the Passchendaele ridge with
in 1000 yards of the center of the
village of Passchendaele.
Indications are that the Germans
early were aware that trouble was
! impending, as about 4 a. m. a large
Anumber of gas shells were fired by
them along the British front.
Advance 500 Yards
BY 7.45 o'clock this morning re-
ports were received that everything
was going we'll with to-days British
attack in Flanders. The troops along
a wide front had pushed forward to
a depth averaging 500 yards or more.
Prisoners were beginning to come
in early. although slowly, owing to
the condition of the ground.
The main enemy to-day was not
the Germans. but the mud. The
Germans were far less formidable
than previously, owing to the dis
organization occasioned among them
by the recent terrific blows of the
British. The correspondent yester-
day spoke to Field Marshal Haig,
who does not confine himself ts
headquarters. The field marshal
paid the highest tribute to his men
for their gallant work in the bad
weather.

RUSS REPULSE
TEUTON EFFORTS
FOR ARMISTICE
German Troops Try in Vain
to Again Fraternize With
Men in Field
BY Associatcd Press

Petrograd, oct. 2.-Austro- Ter
man troops are renewing their at
tempts to fraternize with the Rus
slams, but so far every effort has
met with failure according to a state
ment issued by the Russian war Of
flee, based on reports from the front.
The general situation is quiet. al
though some of the armies as well
as some of the Cossack units, still
act with some suspicion towards the
commanding staff. The question of
peace is said to agitate the great
mass of the Russian soldiers.
At some places there is agitation
against capital punishment, but at
the same time demands are made
that punishment in the rear of the
hgh:ing front be enforced with
greater strictness. The cases where
orGers are discussed or not carried
out are comparatively rare, the SOL
diers who refuse to obey orders usu-
ally being brought to trial.
The war office announces with re-
gret that the evil influence of the
gendarmes and police still asserts it
self. SO far no measures have been
taken to isolate these elements.
Complaints of want of discipline
among new recruits are still numer-
GUS.
