HAIUUSBtma, July 2G.
Governor Brumbaugh soon will announce
Ills action on the 400 or moro appropriation
bills for hospitals, educational and chart-
table Institutions. Ho has completed his
conferences with tho chairmen of the Sen
ate and Houso Appropriations Committees
and with Bromloy Wharton, general agent
and secretary of tho Stato Board of Public
Charities.
just what the cuts will bo Is not known,
although to keep within tho expected reve
nues of tho next two years several millions
will have to ba chipped off, Tho Gov
ernor, however, has been mindful of tho
needs of tho indigent lnsano and, according
to a statement made today by Mr. Whar
ton, has approved blljs that will establish
two new asylums, ono In western Penn
sylvania at Blalrsvlllo and another In tho
astern part of tho State, at a slto to be
elected. Tho Increased running expenses
.of all institutions have meant that they
tave asked for larger sums than they ob
tained from tho Stato two years ago,
Mr. Wharton's statement Is as follows:
From a study of tho bills passed by tho
recent Legislature and from what Governor
Brumbaugh has outlined In conferences, I
believe that Pennsylvania will again take a
leading place In legislation for the caro of
Its dependents and Its wards and main
tain tho famo It has won for humano laws
Governor Brumbaugh has been laboring for
days on the appropriation bills left with
him by tho General Assembly, nnd It has
been his consistent effort to make as much
money as possible available for tho relief
of the suffering and the care of tho unfor
tunate. Among the important laws which have
received the aovernor'3 signature Is one
permitting prisoners In county Jails to be
employed at almshouses and poor farms,
a measure which will give these persons
something to 0.0 and bring about an increase
in the food production. The bill for the
nine Industrial farms Is another step for
ward. Llkcwlso tho Governor has shown a broad
conception of what tho State must do In
approving bills for tho establishment of
two new State Insane hospitals to relievo
the overcrowding and for extension of the
existing Institutions. He has been as liberal
as the Stato's funds would allow In the sum
,to be devoted to tho mulntenanco and treat
ment of tho Indigent Insane. The Governor
has taken an advance stand In tho matter
of such institutions ns U10 feeble-minded
Institutions at Laurelton, the Industrial
Home at JIuncy and others, and has given
his sanction to the establishment of a
State asylum for inebriates and drug vic
tims. In acting upon tho appropriations for the
hospitals Governor Brumbaugh had to face
eerlous problems. All Institutions are con
fronted with increased running expenses
because of tho rise In the price of food
1 and hospital supplies and must also ar
range to care for sick and wounded from
the army and navy. To ascertain the exact
situation in regaru to Hospitals the Gover
nor had me wrlto for Information which I
placed before him, and his action on tho
bills will, I am sure, be tor tho best In
terests of the people of tho State.
Governor Brumbaugh is about completing
a great task, and from wha't I know of
his action, I am proud that tho State of
Pennsylvania will not maintain Its humani
tarian position, but will bo an example to
other Commonwealths.

NCW YORK. July 26.
America's entrance into tho wnr swung
Dutch sentiment to the sido of the Allies
In most pronounced fashion.
Louis Raemaekers, credited throughout
Europe with bclrg tho "foremost cartoonist
of tho war." and said to beiic one civilian
mum coruiaily hated by German officialdom,
made this statement today. He has just
arrived In the United States to draw a new
series of cartoons carrying fresh Indict
ments of the Kaiser and German "frlght
fulncss." "It is all foolishness to say that tho
much people were ever pro-German," says
the groat Dutch artist. "We live so close
to tho German that we know him too well,
in Holland wo say that a German is a
mot a nobody. And once a nobody, al
ways a nobody,
"WeJ,nvo n lot f admiration for Ger
man efficiency, for tho methods by which
licrnfany has won commercial success. But
there are only two classes of the Dutch
people who are pro-German. Tho reaction
ary clement constitutes one. Thiv hnnn tnr
a German triumph, believing that victory for
the Kaiser will set back tho progress of
uemocracy ror at least 300 years. The sec
ond class Is composed of a small group ot
men who draw their profits from Germany.
Included In this group are publishers of
some newspapers In which German interests
aro heavy advertisers. Somo of these
papers, without daring to attack the
French, whom vvc all love, have attempted
to create trouble by stirring up anti-English
sentiment In Holland.
SITUATION CHANGED
"But the entrance of tho United States
Into tho war has changed tho situation
materially. To have your great republic on
tho side of tho Allies nnd against Germany
has shown tho people of Holland on which
side tho Interests of democracy He."
Raemaekers is a little, mild-mannered
man with clear, blue eyes. He might easily
have been picked as one ot Henry Ford's
most pacific peaco pilgrims. Yet his pen
has directed against German war methods,
the German submarine campaign and Ger
man devastation of Belgium ono of the
heaviest offensives Prussian militarism has
suffered.
His mother Is a German and one of his
uncles was In the German army. But early
in the war he was shocked by the atrocities
perpetrated by the Germans in Belgium and
launched n series of cartoons that Inspired
waves of Indignation and horror In neutral
Europe against Germany.
The Dutch cartoonlbt has spent a largo
part of his time at the western battle front
and Is well versed In military science. Ho
discussed today a Washington report that
returning American army officers had said
the German lines In the west were Im
pregnable and that Germany at present la
in the nscendancy in tho air.
SUPREMACY ALTERNATES
"It Is quite possible that at this precise
injment tho Germans have the upper hand
In tho air," ho said. "Supremacy in the
air has been a seasaw affair slnco the
war staited. Flii-t one side develops u. new
kind of plane, rushes a laige number of
machines Into action, and dominates the,
air. Tho other side then sends Into action
a!r squadrons wi.h a still moro powerful
machine.
"Possibly he German lines In the west
cannot be broken by the British and French,
but they can be crumpled up nnd pushed
back Just as they were at the Somme. If
the United States can throw a force of
1,000,000 men Into the fight on the west
front well, then we shall see If Hlnden
burg's line Is 'impregnable.' "
ANTHRAX THREATENS CATTLE
One Case of Dreade dDisease and Four
of Glanders Found in Jersey

Whenever an epidemic, like tho Infantile
paralysis epidemic of last summer, occurs,
there Is panic nnd consternation through
out the State, while other diseases causing
many more deaths nnd many more cases of
serious illness attract comparatively little
attention, says the Stato Department ot
Health In n statement issued today on
"Saving tho Babies "
During the entire year of 1916, says the
department, there were 1100 deaths In the
State from Infantile paralysis, yet during
the same period more than 1900 babies less
than two years of age died from diarrhea
and enteritis.
This "summer complaint" Is due to the
combined effects of Improper feeding and
excessive heat. It Is largely preventable
If proper care Is given to the baby. The
following ten commandments for mothers,
issued by the State Department ot Health,
tlf caicfully observed, will' prevent much un
necessary illness during the summer, de
clares the department:
First: Give tne baby Its mother's milk.
nature's own food, lhat Its days may be
long.
Second. Feed the baby regularly, not
oftencr than every three hours, that the
digestion may be good.
Third. Keep the window open In the room
where the baby sleeps, that It may have
fresh air.
Fourth. See that the baby takes Its nap
out of doors, that It may have more fresh
air.
Fifth. Have every window and door
screened and keep n net over the baby's
crib and coach, that files may neither annoy
him nor pollute his food
Sixth. Bathe the baby every day, and If
the weati?r Is hot, several times a day,
that he may be clean and cool.
Seventh. Do not put any tight bands or
other tight clothes on the baby. Let all
Its clothing bo light, loose and soft, that It
tv.y exercise Its limbs and be comfortable.
Eighth. Do not tickle tho baby or toss
It In tho air or trot It on your knee, lest It
become nervous.
Ninth. Put tho baby to bed early, that It
may get plenty of slop.
Tenth. Do not give the bnby patent medi
cines, boothlng pyrup or other drugs, with
out the doctor's advice, lest It be poisoned
and die.

CAMP KDGD, Sea Girt, July 26.
The mobilization here of tho largest force
of troops ever quartered beforo on the
Stato encampment reservation having been
accomplished with dispatch and a regularity
that was almost clock-like, attention was
turned here this morning to preparations
for and tno actual work of the mustering
In of the New Jercy National Guard units
which number about 4500 men.
It was duo to tho efficient preparation
of all company records beforo tho arrival
of the unit here that the mustering offi
cers wero able to tnke over tho field hospital
almost Immediately.
Great praise for the manner In whlch nil
ths organizations came here and established
tholr camps was given tho unit commanders
last night by Governor lMgo, who made a
tour of the camp Just nbout mess time.
Tho executive was accompanied by tho offi
cers of his staff nnd ho stopped long enough
to chat with tho officers ot every organiza
tion nnd unit,
From tho time tho troops began to come
In yesterday morning until the last of the
tents were up wns less than fourteen hours
actually and this remarkablo work shows
tho efficiency with which tho different de
partments worKfil to effect a perfect camp.
Tho fact that more than half of tho men
In tho camp have never been In a mllltnry
encampment before Increases the measure
ot tho commendation that Is justly duo
them.
A further evidence of tho co-ordination
of the departments nnd their completo effi
ciency Is shown In the fact that from tho
time that two const nrtlllcry companies
were oidercd here by tho War Department
until they wero safely In camp and under
their own canvas was a trifle over twenty-
seven hours. No orders for tho mobiliza
tion of the Hoboken and Wlldwood compa
nies was received by tho New Jersey mlll
tnry authorities from tho Wnr Department
until after 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon,
and the Stato orders for the mobilization
wero sent, the unots gathered from cities
nearby nnd at distances, their equipment
packed, tho troops entrained and landed
hero and their camp made by nightfall to
night. Governor IMne this morning said that
he was determined to guard against any
moral looseness about the encampment
reservation To safeguard tho men In the
camp proper no one Is permitted to enter
tho camp after 6 o'clock. So far as can be
learned the edicts concerning tho closing
of liquor places within half a mile nnd five
miles of the army camps will In no way
effect anything hereabouts.
The necessity for a regulation of the
crowds Is being considered. It Is likely
that the reservation will bo closed to motor
rars entirely unless It Is found that It will
be posslhle to permit them the use of a cer
tain section of the camp drives. This was
tried during the height of the activities-hero
yesterday afternoon and It was necessary
to detail a detachment of the guard to move
them from tho parade ground and other
places where the drivers had gone to watch
tho troop activities.
No time has been lost In preparing plans
for the training ot tho men. Schedule
of service calls, which provides for long
periods of drill, became cffectlvo this morn
ing, it having been prepared by Brigadier
General Charles W. Barber yesterday. Re
veille Is sounded at S:4G and taps at 11
at night. Tho morning drill period starts
at 7:30 and closes at 11:30. There will bo
no Saturday drills, a weekly Inspection
having been Instituted In drill periods on
those days. Tho afternoon drill period
starts at 1:30 and closes at 4:30. In view
of the fact that the course prescribed calls
for Intensified instruction It can readly bo
seen that tho men are not here for a Joy
party such as those of the days of 1910.
But with all tho hard work facing them
the men are a cheerful lot and aro making
tho most ot the situation.
BACK AT MI(
Entente Powers Expected lWA

kan Conference
WASHINGTON, July 26.
The United States today Is negotiating
with the Allies to legalize drafting hun
dreds of thousands of aliens In this coun
try to fight under tho American flag.
Before the time for the second levy tho
necessary abrogations of treaties and ac
tion by Congress will bring aliens under
the draft law.
In every section of tho nation an outcry
against the "obvious Injustice" of the pres
ent law, as applied to noncltlzens, Is rising.
Already It has reached Congress and forced
action,
The McCumber resolution to draft aliens
Is today before a subcommittee of the Sen
ate Fbrelgn Relations Committee. Under
this resolution aliens may bo drawn Into
the nrmy or deported upon refusal to serve.
A similar resolution drawn by Chamber
lain Is beforo the Military Committee.
The Wnr Department has nnnroved the
resolution, but tho State Department has
pointed out diplomatic obstructions In spe
cific treaties with a half dozen countries
preventing drafting their citizens Into the
United States military service
At tho Italian embassy today it was
stated diplomatic negotiations are under
way to bring IDO.OOO Italians of military
ago in tho United States under the pro
visions of tho draft. At present neither the
Italian nor American Governments can lay
hands upon them.
Kach of the allied countries is expected
to acquiesce In tho speedy nullification of
any old obstructing treaties and agreements.
But whether they do or not, ofllclals here
declare that Congress may act that laws
supersede the treaties. Nations at war with
Germany aro hardly expected to object to
conscription of their subjects here.
Tho mall of the War Department Is
flooded with bitter protests from cities with
a large alien population. They claim that
nearly every American will be taken In the
first lovy from certain districts with heavy
nllcn population. In Chicago one-fourth of
the entire registration Is exempt as aliens
In one district of 2923 registrations, 2108 are
exempt ns aliens, leaving only 815 Ameri
cans from which to draw 377 soldiers.

ASK CITY TO GRANT USE
OF POLICE BOAT AS SCHOOL
Bourse Officials Want Prospective Ma
rine Engineers to Take Part of
Their Training on Craft
Officials of the Philadelphia Bourse and
other organizations Interested In shipping
nnd tho betterment of the city as a port and
shipping point have asked Mayor Smith
to grant the use of the city's Iceboat, the
John Weaver, for the training of marine
engineers.
The plan would be to use the boat during
the spring, summer and fall and turn It
back to the city when Ice arrived. The
principal Idea In having the boat pledged
now Is to Influence the United States Ship
ping Board to place a marine engineering
school hero and also to provide at oncn a
boat for practical training of the students
In the navigation school already established.

Sam's 10,000,000 conscripts to be called

Ho lives, down on N street, Washington,
with his wife and son. George Edward
William, four months old.
Thomas was away at his work when tne
lone offlclat War Department envelope
the first of Its kind ever mailed reached
the house. Little Mrs. Keeso. Just starting
down to the hardware store to see about
some screens, greeted It. She cried a little.
Tossing It on tho table unopened, sho
went on to. see about the screens. There
It lay. the black lettering on Ub face star

rKeese doesn't earn a lot He's an elec
trotyper. He hasn't had his wife but two
years, and they've had a pretty hard strug
Bio to get ahead. But If Uncle Sam needs
him he'll go. They're agreed on that.
"We'll face whatever must be faced," was
Mrs. Keese'a only comment
Keeso wants to do whatever Is best for
his country and his family. .,..,.,,.
"I don't exactly know what to do.1' he
aid when found at his machine today, "I
owe a lot to both of 'am. WhaUver's right

"It was a fair game and I took my
chances with the rest of 'em," ho said. "AH
any mnn can ask Is an even break and I
got that."
Keese's notification went out Just ahead
of others from Local Board B, District of
Columbia, at police station five, tho first of
the 45E7 local boards In the nation to get
organized and working.
Tied with a stray piece of twine and hung
on a shingle nail driven Into the window

All day long tho conscription boys of
theDlstrlct came In singly and In groups
