ROME, July 1o.-As documents
fall into italian hands with the steady
capture of Austrian officers, the kex-
tent of the damage the enemy intend
ed to inflict on Italy becomes almost
staggering to the imagination.
a schedule was arranged to time
the steps OF the adventure. Austria
had collected seventy-one divisions on
our front of which fifty We're intend-
ed for the drive. The force was not
inferior in any way to that which the
Germans assembled on the front in
France. And the impetuosity of the
shock was maintained a fun week in
Italy as in France.
OF the attacking divisions thirty
were used in the mountains between
the Astieo and the Piave, ami to in
vest Montello. The remainder were
deployed for the massed attack from
Nervesa- to the sea along the Piave.
OF the troops engaged, about fifteen
divisions suffered heavy losses, an
other fifteen We're worn out by tho
continuous counter-attacls to which
we subjected them.
Austrian OFFICERS Talk Freely.
The prisoners taken in the high
lands and among the latter include
many high officers, and all speak
frankly of the complete failure of

Buying For Christmas
Not to Be Restricted

Washington. d. c., Sept. "a
change of front in it's policy of re-
stricted Christmas buying was an
nounced yesterday by the Council
of National Defense as a result of
later information obtained as TO the
methods pursued and the relations
which the holiday trade has to the
many interests concerned.
Heretofore the National Council
has taken the position that the nee
essity for saving labor, material and
transportation called for consider
able decreases in Christmas buyir g
during the coming fall. 1t has since
found that the manufacture of goods
for the coming season had been
practically completed and that much
of the transportation of the goods
was effected long prior to the Christ
mas period; also that the material
itself, especially in the manufacture
of toys, represented wastage derived
from prior processes of manufacture.
After a conference with the lead
ing industries engaged in the manu-
facture of holiday materials, and
with the retail Interests concerned,
il was agreed by the latter not to
increase their working force by rea-
son of holiday business over the ever
age force employed during the year
working hours during the Christ
mas season. 1t was further agreed

FIFTY SLACKERS
ALREADY TAKEN
Ten Sent to Army, One to Jail
and Others Promise
to Work

Fifty alleged slackers yere caught
in the dragnet welded yesterday by
a force of six officers working un-
der the direction of United States
Marshal Harvey T. Smith under au-
thority of the recent work or fight"
order. This campaign against ha-
bitual loafers is gaining decidedly
in momentum and yesterdays col
lection was the biggest yet taken.
Less than ten men had been previ-
ously arrested.
Taken before Marshal Smith, most
of them promised to go to work.
Ten of them, however. were sent
to the Army and another was forced
to go to Jail.
Most of these men are newcomers
in Steelton. With a few exceptions
they were brought here from other
localities to work at the local plant
of the Bethlehem Steel Company.
Chief of Police Grove and Bethlehem
Steel Company officials are active in
this campaign to round up the men
who are not working at all or are al
their duties only one or two days
each week.

SteeltOn Mems Items
PROTEST AGAINST
STUDY OF GERMAN.
Borough High School Juniors
Refuse TO Take Up
Hated Tongue

The tongue of the Hohenzollerns is
increasing in its unpopularity in the
Steeiton schools. Its study during
the final two years in the High
school, the only time when it is
taught. promises soon to become a
thing of the past. Steelton school
children are sincere in their patriot
ism and want nothing. to do with any
thing that smacks the least bit OF
Germany or its inhabitants.
That they remain still mistaken
in their belief that the subject
should not be included at all in the
curriculum of the schools is evidenced
full well by the fact that not a
single new student has such a desire
to become a German linguist that
he has taken up the study of the
language. The number of second
year students in the subject is small
er than ever before.
Several college preparatory stu
dents are the only students enroll
ed for the subject. It is necessary,
school officials explain, for them 70
have two years work of some IAN
guage in addition to Latin that they
may possess the necessary credits Tor
entrance into most colleges. But
many students and school patrons
are displeased that the subject
should be taught at all.
The study of German Is not com
pulsory on any student" Superin-
tendent L. f. McGinnes explains
The course has not been dropped from
the school curriculum. he adds, that
students desiring to pursue a collie
giate course may be able to produce
a sufficient number of language units
for college entrance. One years
work in German together with. a
year of French would not satisfy
college entrance requirements, ne
affirms. Two years of either of
them in addition to Latin is requlr-
ed.
While students uttered a, terrible
howl of protest against the Hun
tongue last spring. school officials
urged them to continue its study al
least for the remainder of the year
that their credits might not be dl-
minished so much as to. prevent
their promotion or graduation. 1t is
because of the pupils needs now
they maintain, that the course is be-
ing continued.
Although school officials do not in
tend to take the drastic action OF
eliminating the subject from the
course of study in the schools. it is
expected that it will not be taught
at all next year because of the lack
of pupils willing to study 1t: Be
cause of the growing, objection to
German and to provide. greater
scope of selection in the study, OF
two-years' course in Spanish will be
the first time during the 1890
term and will be taught by Miss S
Ellen McGinnes, head of the langu-
age department in the schools.
