"THE STORE THAT VALUES BUILT"
TRAMPS BIG BOTHER;
KEEP POLICE BUSY
War Being Waged on Hoboes by
P. R. R. Officers Along
i the Main Line
Hoboes are giving Pennsylvania Rail
road poiice mucn trouoie. Every effort
made during the past two weeks to
drive them from railroad trains and
property lias brought an assault on the
officers.
Orders were given recently to elimi
nate the Illegal train riders and hoboes
entirely. With this end in view rail
road ofricers have been driving the
tramps from their camping places
along the main line of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad. In retaliation tramps
have stoned the officers.
Between Harrlsburg and Lancaster,
Captain Barclay's forces have cleaned
up hoboe haunts near Middletown and
in the vicinity of Conewago. Along the
Middle Division railroad officers have
been exceptionally busy. At Rockville,
the west end of the Rockville bridge,
Marysville, Mifflin, Lewistown and
other points, raids have been made two
and three times each week.
In the opinion of the heads of the
Pennsylvania Railroad police depart
ments, the magistrates are not severe
enough In their sentences. It is also
said that riding trains is not the only
trouble caused by hohoes. At a num
ber of places where tramps have made
their headquarters, fires have proved
costly. Frequently the hoboes leave
their camp fires burning, a strong wind
fans the flames and starts a blaze
which often spreads to piles of ties, and
to othe railroad property, resulting in
much r, nine.
In the opinion of Captain Barclay, of
the Philadelphia Division police. the
workhouse is the only remedy to wipe
out the tramp nuisance.
Fruit Trains Heavy.—Commencing
last night fruit shipments showed a
large increase. Instead of shipping
peaches and other Southern fruits by
express as heretofore trainloads are
now hauled North and West. Thus
far the shiDments have varied from
twelve cars per day. Last
night a train of twenty-eight cars
passed through from Baltimore to
points North. Local shipments of
fruit have been large. Peaches, can
taloupes, tomatoes, corn and other
produce Is arriving dally. Large
shipments have been made from York
county of the early crop of peaches.
The shipments from Hagerstown and
vicinity will start next week.
Fewer Dispatchers and Telegraph
ers.-—With the near approach of the
completion of the automatic signal
system on the main line of the Penn
sylvania Railroad comes a revival of
the reports regarding the elimination
of dispatchers and telegraphers. As
has been stated a number of times,
several signal towers will be put out
of business by the introduction of
the new signals. As yet no plans
have been dcidnd upon as to the
placing of the men woh will he nut of
jobs. Some will be assigned to signal
duties. Others will be needed else
where. Positions will b provided for
as many as possible.
More Retrenchment Prolmblc.
Reports from Altoona, relative to fur
them retrenchments on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, reached Harrlsburg
to?day. Officials of the Philadelphia
division know nothing regarding a cut

BRITISH FORGES
LANDED IH FRANCE
WITHOUT MISHAP
Announcement of Soldiers' Arrival
Given After Two Weeks
of Silence
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 17, Midnight, (Delay
ed by Censor). —The most important
revelation of the day has been that
of the landing of a British expedition
ary army on the shores of France.
Everybody in England has known for
two weeks that a large army was
crossing the channel. The troops had
been assembled at different bases,
one of the largest contingents em
barking at Dublin, Ireland. Many oth
er regiments sailed from Liverpool
while still others took ship at East
bourne, Southampton and other ports
along the coast of the English chan
nel.
The great canvass camps at the
military stations in England were
struck only when it was known defi
nitely that the flotilla of transports
conveying the troops had finished the
oversea movement under the escort of
strong Squadrons of warships.
The '-ansportation of the soldiers
lasted several days and during that
time not a mention of the expedition
was permitted to the newspapers here.
Even now the strength of the expedi
tion, the names of the regiments com
eoming the contingent and the ports
where they landed are not allowed to
be made public.
Two Armies Meet
It is known, however, that a large
proportion of the best troops of the
British regular army are now on con
tinental soil. The reception of the
British soldiers everywhere in France
was enthusiastic. The officers and men
of the two armies fraternized warm
ly.
It Is pointed out In authoritative
circles here that the withdrawal of the
Belgian government from Brussels to
Antwerp may mean that the fighting
in Belgium is drawing closer to the
capital or It may be merely a precau
tionary measure.
•low that the, three allied armies
are working together on a coherent
campaign scheme, the policy of sec
rcy has been extended to Belgium and
as a fountain of picturesque news that
country has suddenly dried up.
The allied armies have decided for
the present to bar all war correspon
dents from accompanying the armies
but it is thought the ban may be
raised later when the militay opera
tions are well under way.
The official news bureau says not
a single casualty occurred during the
embarktlon, transportation and de
barkation of the men and stores of the
Rrltlsh expeditionary force and every
thing was carried through with the
greatest precision.
German Papers Given to
Returning Americans
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 18, 5.05 A. M.—The
Times to-day states Dhat a party of
Americans who left Berlin on August
13 were each presented at the railway
station with a packet containing a
dozen copies of the Lokal Anzeiger.
To each packet a handbill was affixed
and addressed to "The Returning Citi
zens of the Friendly United States."
The handbill stated that the en
closed newspapers must serve to de
stroy "the web of lies which a hostile
press has spread over the United States
and give to truth its place of honor."
Then in large type was this note: "Re
distribution for publication in Ameri
can papers solicited."
The Times continues:
"These newspapers seem chiefly anx
ious to convey two Impressions—that
Germany is everywhere victorious and
that American public opinion is favor
able to Germany's cause," ,

partisan judicial ticket and the state
tickets in general. All this, of course,
can be printed, but in certifying the
ballot to the different counties the
department has to write in the local

semblyman in each district. Then in
some districts an additional party
name has to be set forth, as in the
Second Lancaster Assembly district,
where there will be the name of the
"No" party.

To Discuss Forms.-—Steps to secure
uniformity and simpler forms in acci
dent reports will be taken on Friday
at a meeting of officials of the State
Department of Labor and Industry,
representatives of manufacturers and
insurance men. For some time past
efforts have been made by the State
officials to secure a form of report
that would conform to the ideas of
national officials and with those of
other states as well-as to Impose the
least possible burden in manufactur
ers. The suggestion of insurance men
will bo given and later on a general
form will be issued.
To Appeal Coal Tax. —Most of the
anthracite coal companies of the State
will file appeals from the settlement
of the fiscal officers for the anthracite
coal tax within the next week or ten

ning to have the borough's police
force given lessons in judging the
speed of an automobile in a crowded
street.
"I know it is Rlmost impossible for
a patrolman to judge the speed of a
moving nutomobile with sufficient de
gree of accuracy to enable conviction
of violators of the traffic ordinance,"
said the burgess this morning, "so I
am arranging to have some careful
driver give tho cops a demonstration
of the various speeds."
The plan is to have the cops sta
tioned at their regular places and have
an automobile run past them at the
maximum speed allowed by law. In
this way a policeman may judge the
speed of a machine by the time it
takes to pass over the block which ho
patrols.
