I President of Sellersville Con-
cern "Fires" Three of Men
Arrested by U. S. Agents
All but one of tho directors of the
United States Gauge Compans, of Sel
lers Hie, Pa , arrested by Federal offi
cers here on charges of attempting to
, a fraud the Government, h.avo been Hied
from their Jobs by J. W Place, head
lrum """ ' '
of the compans
The ' flretl" men are William Helnrlch,
discharge Frederick Schubert, the vice
president, was that he owned .5 per
cent of the stock of the concern.
' Tho rcandal has made a deep Impres.
slon upon me," said Mr Place, "and It
Is hard oh the firm I want, first of all,
to correct the Impression that this com
pany Is German owned or German con
trolled This Is not a fact If there is
a German citizen among the 200 stock
holders I am not aware of It
'Our live directors ure all American
citizens four American born and one
naturalized for more than twenty sears
I myself come of French-English stock,
nnd my people have II ed In this coun
try for nearly two centuries Thus you
will see that the disposition of the
company Is strongly pro-Ally.
The plant U running to capacity,
and. bo far u I an ascertain, there
Is complete harmony among the em
nloves All of those who were arrested
last week, with the exception of Fred
erick Schubert, are. automatically dis
charged Wo don't care to hae any
nerson In our serICe against whom the
Go eminent has tho slightest suspicion."
Tho hearing for the men arrested is
scheduled before the United States Com
missioner today, blip the attorney for
the defense Is making an effort to have
It postponed.
Agents of the Department of Justice
say they have located Paul Maker, who
mysteriously disappeared several days
ago. In Plalnfleld, N. J. They say he
will attend the hearing today.

not to become' distressed at the news
that come to us "
The stubborn sibling of ground by
tho British, the Archbishop declared,
meant a terrific loss In man power to
tho cnems and should not discourage
his hearers 'The Biltish are making
a bravo stand, and a winning stand," ho
said, "een If thes do sield ground Inch

Passing to labor's part in the war tho
Aichblshop urged the shipyard workers
to neip ineir iirutiie'rs uu ine oilier mui1

ho said, depends upon earnest co-opera,

Tho need for ships to transport food
was emphasized also "Let It bo said
that for overs ton of food sunk bs tho
wo(ves of the sea, another ton Is put
Into tho trenches Do this and you will
be doing your bit for thu freedom of
the world," ho exclaimed.
The great feeling of sacrifices nnd
fellowship fiom tho two great Fngllsh
unliersltics nt Oxford and Cambridge
was tho theme of tl Archbishop to
his student hearers.
FIo thousand university men of Eng
land have offered their lives on the altar
of sacrifice, said the Archbishop Of a
combined enrollment of C000, but 700
men aro now In the universities of Ox
ford and Cambridge, nnd these havo
been disabled, aro phsslcally 'unlit or
men from India not eligible for service,
'The unlverslts- life lu no longer In

it seems us u uu muse men wno were1

teach In succeeding generations as in
no other was' can be done the spirit
of this war. Their lives and memo
ries will be felt as of no other genera
tion which has passed through our uni
versities. These men are not dead
they are living.
"After the war tho university must be
the guardian and losplrer of tho prin
ciples of the nation. You Americans,
speaking as an observer, I can say, have
had great confidence In our power, re
sources and wealth; jou were beginning
to forget that quality of man, the soul.
You must learn that tho soul cannot
take care of Itself." t

Officers and men at Camp Hancock
jesterday continued to discuss, the war
situation. Kvers'where It Was the sub
ject of discussion, the officers especlalls
studying tho German drive with dili
gence and application. All are confident
that the Allies will come up victorious,
and that the Uuns will be disastrously
defeated.
Nowhere Is the fight being observed
more closely than by the French and
British ofllcers at the camp. Thes' aro
studying reports with the most minute
care. The French ottlcers are particu
larly Interested In the shelling of Paris,
and, at first regarded the news of It with
Incredulity.

Ing's ofllco when tho latter was called
upon for n statement In regard to the

It Is as follows

It was then called to Doctor Lewis's
attention that ono of tho Important fea
