The Rev. Dr. George E. Hawes will officiate. Burial will be in the Harrisburg Cemetery. The police department officials, after a careful investigation.'declared the accident unavoidable, and ex onerated Miss Phillips of all blame. According to Miss Phillips, when she approached the Chestnut Street bridge, she slowed up to get the traf fic officer's signal. No officer was on the corner, so after passing Chest nut street, she applied the power to make the approach. Just as she did so. the patrolman stepped in front of her machine, she said. Although she applied the brakes, he was knock ed to the pavement. Undertaker Frank Neely. a friend of the Phillips' family, coming out of the Adams Ex press office, took the Injured patrol- 1 man Jo the hospital in the Phillips car. Death due to a fracture at the base of the brain followed within an hour. Miss Phillips, her mother, Mrs. Mary Phillips, and Miss Agnes Walsh were in the automobile which ran down the patrolman. Kepford, it I was afterwards learned, had been | in Samuel Fishman's Motor Supply ' store at Fourth and Chestnut, and ! was going back to regulate the traf- ! tic at Fourth and Chestnut streets ! when he was struck. Patrolman Kepford is survived by ! his father and mother, sister, Ada, and three brothers, Clayton. Clyde and Raymond. His father is a watch- j man in the Dauphin county Jail and his three brothers are members of the Bethlehem Steel Company police 1 force. Kepford was made a patrolman during the McCormick regime in \ 1902, and a sergeant by ex-Mayor Gross in 1905. In 1908 he was j dropped from the force by ex-Mayor 1 Meals and became a poliecman for i the Cumberland Valley Railroad was stationed at Chambersburg. When the commission form of gov- j crnment was inaugurated here in I 1914 he again joined the force. For. the last several months he had been t traffic officer and patrol guard. LEGAL.

The situation of the Austrians guarding the Trentino along the front from the west of Lake Garda to the Piave also is be coming serious. Between the Brenta and the Piave the fifteen Austrian divisions operating there have been cut off by the cap ture of Yadai pass. Elsewhere on this front the Austrians must retreat northward through the Alps with the Italians, British and French pressing hard at their heels. If, as reported, the Italians are attacking from St. Elvio southward to lake Garda as well as eastward from the lake, the Allies have begun the familiar pincer movement in the Trentino. - Serbia Nearly Cleared of Enemy Austrian troops also arc retiring from Serbia and the left wing already has crossed the Danube, Vienna announces. • The Serbs have reached the Danube near Semendria and the fall of Belgrade and the complete liberation ot Serbia would seem but a matter of a few days, if not hours. In western Serbia the Aus trians also are marching north toward the Danube. There has been little change in the situation on the western front. British patrols have been active on the important sector between Valenciennes and I.c Quesnoy and have made progress north of Valenciennes. In Champagne the French have repulsed at German counterattack northwest of Chateau Porcien. The Fifth French army, fighting in this region, has taken nearly 1500 prisoners in the last two days.

This report from London followed closely 011 official announcement that Turkey's plea for an armistice received in Washington, October 14. would be sub mitted to the governments at war with Turkey.

Italy Recognizes the Need of Civilian Aid to Men of Firing Lines Itornr. —Italy's King and her Com missary General have paid h'lgh trib ute to' the aid which American civi lian. agencies gave in strengthening the morale and fighting power of the Italian troops, it has just been an nounced. King Victor Emanuel sent a message to Dr. E. C. Cartor, direc tor of all overseas Y. M. C. A. work, as the royal contribution to the Uni ted War Work Campaign of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catho lic War Council K. of C., War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board. American Library Association and Salvation Army. The King's l message was as follows: "To offer something to the soldier at war facing the enemy is not only a brotherly thought of graciousness and of kindness, but also a powerful ' means to keep their minds in all ' hours vigilant, prompt and courage . ous. To have given this institution ' so great a development is worthy of 1 the American people who thus illus- I trate again that in their genius a sense of the ideal allies itself admir -1 ably with an essentially practical mind. (Signed) VITTORIO EMAXUELE." I V. Zaccone. Commissary General of | the Italian Army made the follow ing statement: "I take pleasure in expressing my , great admiration of the philanthropic ' work accomplished by the Ameri can Y. M. C. A. with the mobilized army, both in the granting of large and generous financial aid to the al ready existing Italian 'Case del Soldato' and in the establishment of many new 'case,' in which your en thusiastic and able associates co-oper late actively in the great work of 'civil and military aid. I am, greatly pleased to observe how these 'case' ! increase daily in number and influ jence, so that their moral and material benefits to our brave troops at the battle front have already realized the efficacy promised by the noble initia tive of our American friends. "The victorious counteroffensive on the Fiave has also clearly demonstrat ed the utility of the comfort-distrib uting stations established by the Y. M. C. A. in Immediate contact with the battle lines, and this new organ ization, which gives the American Association further title to gratitude, has received enthusiastic recognition from the troops who were thus given new evidence even during the blood iest days of battle that they could count on the noble help and comfort of their American brothers."
