London, Oct. 1.-THE once formid-
able German armies on the linden
burg line from north of Cambria to
St. Quentin are facing eastward, de-
feated and in full retreat. 49,"
Their backs are the targets for the
British, French and American troops,
who bitterly fought them, step by
step, out of supposedly irnpregnable
defenses and now are hurrying them
across the open country toward the
German border. Nowhere is the enemy
attempting a stand in force.
True, the German border is yet a
long distance away, but the last two
days Of chase have materially decreas-
ed the width of the area separating the
invaders from their own Rhine line.

answer given the leaders of discOn-

quit work to demand peace, by DR..
Van SeydIer. the Austrian premier.
Emperor Charles, he said, desired to
end the war at the earliest possible
moment
No new peace terms were enunci-
ated and the labor leaders were told
that responsibility for continuation Of
the war rests upon the entente allies,
who had refused Austria's offers. All
plans for territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
were disclaimed by the premier. Other
ministers promised electoral reforms
and a relaxation of the rigid military
law. The labor leaders then called
upon their comrades to resume work,

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Monday, Jan. 21.-General
Szetozav Boroevic has been appoint
ed to succeed the Archduke Eugene
in command of the entire enemy
front against Italy and it is believed
that the change may have a consid-
erable effect on the campaign.
The two conspicuous enemy fig
ures on this front have been Field
Marshal Conrad Won Hoetzendorf,
commanding the mountain front,
and General Boroevic, commanding
along the Piave. General Boroevic
is the junior of the field marshal
and his passing over him is in the
nature of a disgrace, probably grow
ing out of the operations on this
front. Field Marshal Conrad Won
Doetzendorf retains the command
on the mountain front. He has rep
resented the extreme element op-
posed to Italy and as chief of the
Austrian staff sought to provoke a
collision with Italy during the
Tripolitan war and has even been
charged with using the Messina
earthquake as a preteXt for Austrian
intervention in Italian affairs.
General Boroevic's tactics on the
italian front have been uniformly
defensive; rarely offensive. For two
years on the Isonzo front he main
tained a defensive and took the Of
fensive only when German rein
forcements compelled advance. Since
the formation of the new Piave line
his policy has been chiefly defen-
siVe.

Settlement of Irish
Question Foreseen in
Carson Resignation
Bv .Assoeiated Prcss

London, Jan. 22.-The resignation
of Sir Edward Carson from the war
cabinet lends color to the report
that the government. accepting the
advice of its supporters in England
and well-wishers in the United
States and the dominions, has de-
cided to bring about a settlement of
the Irish question. Had Sir Edward
remained in the cabinet he would
have been compelled to choose be-
tween his loyalty to the government
and to his Ulster Unionist followers
This he has avoided by resigning,
and now he has a free hand.
During the short recess which the
has taken Sir Horace
Plunkett, chairman of the conven-
ton, and other Irishmen who have
worked so hard for a settlement are
a last effort to see to it that
their labors shall not be wasted.
In this they have the unstinted sup
port of Premier Lloyd George.

Traction Company to Speed
Schedules by Eliminating
Many Unnecessary Stops

In an effort to help improve its
service, officials of the Harrisburg
Railways Company are working out
plans providing for the elimination
of a number of stops in the central
part of the city. AS yet it is inn
possible to state just which stops
viii! be cut out. but the new service
will begin Saturday.
In a report made by Byron ].
Arnold, of Chicago, who made an
inspection of the railway traffic in
Harrisburg, and also in the report
made by engineers of the Public
Service Commission, the skip
stop" idea was advanced and rec
commended. OF course no big streets
will be eliminated but the company
will cut out those narrow streets,
where stops are made at present.
For example, when the new system
becomes effective. cars will no
longer stop at Court street in
Market. It is pointed out that pas
sengers will only have to walk a few
steps to Third street or TO Market
Square.
The new system, it is generally
believed, will greatly relieve traffic
congestion in the central districts.
Wagons and automobiles must stop
I'm front and behind cars every half
block at present, when passengers
are waiting at the main streets and
the narrow streets and the result is
that much time is lost in getting the
procession moving again. The
''skip-stop" plan will cut the num-
ber of stops in the central part of
the city exactly in half 1t may be
too, that some stops will be elimi-
mated in the hill and uptown dis

New Shell Is Weapon
as Deadly as Depth
Bomb; U. S. Invention
By Associated Press

Washington. Jan. 22.-The nom
ricochet' shell, a weapon as deadly
as the depth charge, is the newest
devise perfected by the Navy or
dnance experts. for use against the
German submarines. The new shell
dives when it strikes the surface
of the water instead of bounding as
do the ordinary missiles. Through
the use OF new fuse the charge
can be made to explode on contact
with a solid surface under the wa.
ter or at predetermined depth. II
it falls slightly short then pursuing
its course beneath the water the
she'll will explode against the side
of the subm erged submarine.
