Hoarding of Pennies Is
No Joke For Merchants

Scarce as hen teeth" is a very
ancient, homely expression but 1t IS
the only one that shopkeepers can
think of to tell the truth about the
lack of pennies. To be sure, "A hen
tooth is indeed mighty rare. hut
what would you say if your shop
was looted of two hundred pennies
in twenty minutes. This is no bach
elor's reverie; it is what happened
in Market street cigar store.
What used to sell for five cents now
calls for six, and the usual coin laid
down is a dime, thus leaving four
cents change. The same holds good
with parcels now costing sixteen or
eighteen cents instead of fifteen.
Now, if the customer would make It
a point to keep the coppers in circu-
lation everything would swing along
as usual. But the customer, whether
from revenge or spirit of comedy, is
boarding his pennies, slowing them
in little savings banks and this is
why the shopkeeper is loudly Shrek
ing for help.
. Maybe people think this is one
juicy joke" protested a cigar store
man this morning, but they ought
to have a heart. If they keep it up
the Harrisburg merchants will have
to get couple carloads of coppers
from the government mint

KAISER WILL NOT
TREAT FOR PEACE
WITH BOLSHEVIKI
Will Deal Only With Legal
Successor to Imperial Rus
sian Government

Petrograd, Sunday, Nov. IS. -
Germany has refused to treat for
peace with the new Soldiers and
Workmen's government in response
to a recent proposal, according to
the newspapers here, which publish
this news as coming from a we'll
authenticated source.
1t is stated that Emperor William
announced in his reply that he would
treat only with the legal successor to
the Imperial government or with the
constituent assembly.
In this connection the VOLTA Norda
says it has information that the
Soldiers and Workmen's govern
ment, in the event of it's failure to
receive replies from the belligerents
by November 23 reserves the right
to make peace on its own account,
after which, IL the war continues.

Premier Kerensky, According
to Reports, Is Returning
With New Force
MOSCOW TRUCE REACHED
Thousands Killed After DAYS
of Fighting; Religious
Shrines Destroyed
BY associated Press

Another army is reported
marching on Petrograd to oust
the Bolsheviki from control
there. The vanguard, which is
said to be near Gatchina, 80
miles southwest of the capital,
already has had several brushes
with the Bolsheviki forces. 1t
is rumorcd that Premier ker-
ensky is returning with the new
force. All the reports lack con
firmation.
There apparently is international
dissension in Petrograd between the
MaXimalists and the less extreme
Socialists, who have protested
against acts of the Bolsheviki re-
gime. a report received in London
says there has been a split in the
BolsheViki. ranks and that some of
the ministers have resigned. In
Moscow the revolutionists and the
provisional government forces have
reached a truce, after days of sght-
ing in which several thousand per-
sons were killed and some Of Rus
sia's religious shrines within tho
Kremlin were damaged or destroyed
by the artillery of the revolutionary
forces. The American embassy in
Petrograd has asked for n special

ASK STATE FOR
PARK ZONE USE
Officers Look With Favor Capitol Extension Area as
Site For Warehouses and Sdings During
Period of the War

The State of Pennsylvania may be
asked to postpone the development
of the whole of its Capitol Park eX-
tension district so that the United
States government may have the use
of the twenty-five or more acres for
erection of warehouses. storage yards
and sidings tor war material. Bar
racks may also be erected to provide
for a guard for the big military es-
tablishment.
Preliminary inquiries were made
of Governor Brumbaugh and other
state officials as to the plans of the
Commonwealth, which are ap-
preaching the point when it will de-
molish all buildings except those
actually needed and where it will
tear up the streets and commence
grading for the landscape work. Su-
perintendent George 4. Shreiner, of
the Department of Public Grounds
and Buildings, said this morning that
he had heard about the matter, but
that it had not progressed far enough
for him to talk about il as yet.

WILSON TO HAVE
A FREE HAND IN
:. RAILROAD CRISIS
Heads of TransportationLines
Would Delegate Complete
Powers to President

Washington, Nov. 19.-Formal an
touncement was made to-day that
the railroads of the United States
had decided that if any crises should
arise to place their interests in the
hands of President Wilson FOR pro-
tee ion and such disposition as he
may deem necessary to prevent inter-
r.Ttion of transportation during the
var.
The four railroad brotherhoods.
who have made demands for in
creased wages, have agreed to medi-
alton of the dispute but have re-
fused an unconditional submission
of the questions to a board of arbi-
tration.
To-day's announcement by the rail-
road war board is regarded by Off
cials as eliminating the possibility or
a strike by giving the President a
free hand so far as the railroads are
concerned when he meets the broth
erhood leaders in conference here
next Thursday.
Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the
executive committee of the American
Railway Association, commonly called
the war board, wrote this letter to
Judge William l.. Chambers, chair
man of the United States Board of
Mediation and Cancellation. who con-
IefreQ with various railroad eNeCu-
tives ir New York Saturday and with
the war board to-day:
I'VE confirm what we said to you
this morning in reply to your inquiry
as to what will be the attitude of the
railroads with respect to the manner
of settlement of any demands for in
oreases in pay or changes in work.
ing conditions which during the war
r1ay be made upon them by em-
ployes.
"Speaning for all the railroads to-
day, we reiterate our belief in, and
general acceptance of. the principle
of arbitration. In the midst of war
we are, however, prepared to go fur
ther AS no interruption of continu-
Gus railroad operation can be toll
Grated under war conditions we are
ready. should any crisis now arise,
unreservedly to place our interests
in the hands of the President for
protection and for disposition as he
may determine is necessary in the
public interest"

Banks of River

Italian Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Sunday, Nov.
1S.-The Austrians who forced
their way across the Piavc river
above Zenson have been thrown
into the river, drowned, bayon-
cited, killed or captured, until
now not an enemy remains on
the west bank at that most
threatened point. The fight was
one of the most fearful chapters
of the war and one of the most
glorious.
Details of the fight have been
gathered from eye-witnesses
who saw the fearful carnage
through Friday night and yes
terday and who stayed until the
whole west bank was cleared
except for the corpses on the
shore and in the foreground.
ne "Oullutu were SO numerous
that many have not yet received sue
cor. The enemy had staked every
| thing on getting to the west bank of
the river and the Italians staked
everything on keeping him on the
eastern bank. This nerved both to
desperation. The Austrians made the
first move Friday in two separate
crossings a short distance above
Zenson, first at the village of Fagare
and then an old mill called the Sega
mill near Follina.
Several circumstances enabled
them to pass. They chose a place
where a sandbar ran in midstream
giving them a landing and dividing
the main stream into two small shall
low currents. Also. there was a heavy
mist screening their movements
They carried material for an inn

flooring.
This was about o'clock in the
morning and in the mist at that early
hour they got across the second mar
row channel for the west bank. In

has not yet been determined by his
family, as they have not heard di-
rectly from the War Department
yet.
Aurand. who had been employed
by the Pipe Bending Company prior
to his enlistment, was a quiet lad of
adventurous disposition. He mas
served in the Navy and this is the
third time he has served in the
United States Army. He was for
three years in the Regular Army, and
then in the Governors Troop, with
which company he served at the
Mexican border. He enlisted last
April in the regular Army at the

Harrisburg probably will have to

Revised figures show that the city

Merkle, proprietor of the hotel at the
Belmont race track, near Narberth,
is "strafing" a thief who has visited
his place twice and taken five of his
best turkeys. The first visit was early
last week, and the thief carefully Sc
lected the two best gobblers from the
roosting place on the grandstand of
the race track.
Merkle thought 1t was time to get
the remainder of his birds under
cover, so he shifted them into an
abandoned chickenhouse. The thief
waited two nights and broke into the
chickenhouse, selected the best three
gobblers that were left and went on
his way.
