WEEKS WORK
Attendance and Quality of In
struction Said to Surpass
Former Sessions

The sixty-ffth annual session OF
the Dauphin County Teachers lnsti-
tute closed at noon to-day after what
is regarded by educators as the most
successful and enlightening meeting
uthat it has ever held. I'm the quail
ity of instruction and attendances
and general progressiveness l think
this was the banner year, said FRO
fnssor c. s. Davis, of Steelton.
One of the most encouraging re-
rorts made just before the teachers
bade good-by to one another for an
other year was that on membership
in the state educational association.
1t developed that 233 Dauphin ooun-
ty teachers have been enrolied IN the
state organization, and the 100 not
vet enrolled have signitied their in
tention of joining this year, thus
making Dauphin county a banner
section in the movement.

ance of S563 in the treasury. Audit
ors elected for the ensuing term were
L. o. Smith and f. e. Stengle. A
rumor that the institute would meet
in Steelton next year instead of the
Capitol City was discredi;ed at the
last moment and the institute voted
TO remain in Harrisburg for Its meet
ings.

son, of Michigan. again entertain the

tage of position. as the river makes
sharp bend so that his positions
formed an arc on each side of the
bend. But with all their disadvan-
tages the Italians had steadily forced
them back to the chord across the
bend, so that they now occupied ess
than three quarters of an acre and
were hemmed' in on all sides. The
artillery was concentrating on this
enemy party and it was believed it
would be forced back across the
river or thrown into the water.

to, and (3) the Piave river, to which

While the strong Italian defense line

Austro-German armies in check, it is
stated in Rome dispatches that Gen
eral Cadorna may soon retire to the
western bank of the Piave river for
the great battle that is impending.
The Piave river is thirty miles west
OF the Tagliamento. On this line,
powerfully fortified and immeasurably
more favorable to permanent defen-
siVe, military experts believe the Ital-
ian armies would be able to cope both
the Teuton forces now pursuing them
and with any possible thrust from the
Trentino.
1t is considered likely that Macken.

Tagliamento line-will be like the
first, a thanking movement for which
the Italian defense of the new line is
not entirely prepared. -.

ZIMMERMAN
REPLIES TO
CRITICS OF
HIS RECORD
Republican Candidate For
Mayor Tells of Improve
ments Made During His
Terms In Office.
BkVlS IS SCORED

DR.. W. ". Zimmerman, Republican
candidate for mayor, answered his
critics before more than 200 voters in
the Odd Fellows hall. Friday night
Alfred Bavis, Citizens candidate for
mayor, again was flayed for his bung-
ling business ability and lack of Judg-
ment and foresight.
The purchase Of the light plant,
which cost the taxpayers Of the city
$4,000 was cited as glaring In
stance, by Byram Robbins. OF his poor
judgment because long after the plant
was actually bought, Bavis, who was
instrumental in the purchasing Of the
plant, and other city officials, includ-
ing City Attorney Bond, did not know
that they had bound the city to the
purchase and denied that the plant
had been bought at all.
VIII Devote His Time.
DR.. Zimmerman, in his address to
the voters, pledged himself, if elected
mayor next Tuesday, to give the city
the best administration it has ever
had; to devote as much time as is ne
cessary to the city's needs; to ap-
point competent men, regardless Of
politics, to fill the places OF chief Of
police, fire chief, city controller, city
engineer, and on the board of public
works.
81 will do everything in my power to
give the city the best that is available
and when I go out of office there will
be no picking or clawing," he promis-
ed
Byram Robbins, in a brief talk, de-
clared that If Alfred Bavis is such a
| tremendous genius in handling busi-
ness affairs of the city as to bind the
| city to the purchase of the light plant
for $4,000 without ever being aware
LOT what he had done, he was such a
Rfbig genius" that he should not be en-
trusted with the position OF mayor OF
the city of Richmond.
Attorney Robbins reviewed the
things leading up to the purchase Of
the light plant and told of the star
chamber sessions that had been held
at that time.
"Bavis is a scribbler and that's ALL
| he said.
Passed At Star-Charber.
| AN ordinance was prepared by City
Attorney Bond and Bavis. which they
| thought provided for a 120-day option
! to buy the plant. The ordinance was
passed, almost without discussion, at
a star chamber session of the council,
at which Bavis and City Attorney
Bond were present.
"As a matter of fact the ordinance
provided for an option of 120 days to
pay for the light plant. The Richmond
Light, Heat and Power company,
through its attorneys, insisted that the
city was already bound to the pur-
chase of the plant, and it was later de-
cided in court that the city was
| bound.
| And Mr.. Bavis, whose every act
during the last four years. has been
done with an eye on the mayors Of
| flee, now wants to be mayor.
'fIf the purchase Of the plant was a
good thing for the city of Richmond,
then Mr.. Bavis is to be commended on
his happy accident for 1t was only a
clean-cut accident that the plant was
bought"
DR.. Zimmerman was the last speak
er at the meeting, and reviewed the

FOE BLOWS
UP BRIDGES
IN RETREAT
Germans Fall Back While On
13-Mile Front Before the
French Force.

Blowing up the bridges as they re-
treated, the Germans on the Aisne
front in northern France. have given
up their precarious hold on the Chem
tn-Des-Dames and retired to the north
bank of the Aisette river along front
OF approximately 13 miles, closely fol-
lowed by the French.
This retirement by the German
crown prince has been in prospect
since the recent successful drive by
General Petain southwest of Laon.
which carried the French to the banks
of the Oise-Aisne canal at the westerly
end of the CheminDes-Dames and
gave them artillery domination OF a
large section of the German line tc
the east.
Distance Of Mile.
AS appears from today's Paris offic
ial statement the Germans are now
on the north bank of the Ailette, a
maximum distance of a mile back o.
! their previous position while the
French have moved up to the soutI
bank of the river.
There is no hint in the official re
ports from either side as to whether
a further retirement by the crown
prince is in prospect. He was virtual
ly compelled by the superiority Of the
new French positions, to fall back a
least as far as he has.
The probabilities seem that he viii
take up position in the heights just
north of the Ailette, which command
the approaches to Laon keystone Of
the German western front at its south

and with crew Of 100 men. together
with five armed German trawlers. The
engagement took place in the Skager
ak between the Norwegian and Dan
iSh coasts.
A British admiralty announcement
tells Of an engagement in the Cattegat
the adjoining arm of the North Sea
between Sweden and Denmark. II
seems probable that the same encoun
ter as that reported In the Copenhag
en- dispatches is alluded to.

saloons in three New Jersey towns
Hoboken, Jersey City and Weehawken,
closed their doors at midnight last
night to stay closed for the duration
of the war, following an order by A. j

Hoboken lost 27o of its 33S saloons.
Soon after the United States entered

took over many of the Hoboken piers,
military officials endeavored to obtain
an order from Washington to have the
saloons in the territory closed. Pro,
tests by Hoboken officials and the
saloonkeepers served to postpone the
