REINSTATES THREE RAILROAD TRAINMEN i President Lee Orders Harrisburg Trio to Be Readmitted to Local Lodge Milton T. Robinson, H. B Huber and Samuel H Derrick hav> been ordered • reinstated to Harrisburg: Lodge, No. 353, | Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, by W. <.». Lee, of Cleveland.

B. Mcl'aleb, superinten dent of the Philadelphia Division, Penn sylvania Railroad Company, at this place, were probed. These men admit ted they had a consultation with Su perintendent MoCaleb following a meet ing of their order and the other rail way orders called together bv W H. Pierce, president of the Federated Brotherhood of Railway Employes, who asked that his newly organized order be given aid bv the older orders. At least one of the accused men, it was alleged, opposed this proposition, and Superintendent McCaleb learned of it. Charges of treachery were made and formally preferred at the local lodge by P. H McGinnls. President Lee held that the trio were not violat ing their brotherhood loyalty by telling any one of the meeting, because it was not conducted under the rules and di rections of the Trainmen's Union. It will be remembered that President Lee. shortly after the joint meeting of the brotherhoods, withheld aid of the older organization to Pierce's brother- I hood.

The engine ploughed into the ground for several feet and knocked down a large steel semaphore. Stinbury and Millersburg wreck crews cleared away the wreck.

CJ Has it occurred to you these days when you read of countries appropriating such vast sums for war purposes, just how the money is acquired?. CJ Bonds are issued to cover the amount, certain of which expire at one time, certain others at another time, and so on. Then these bonds are paid from time to time as they mature. CJ It is the mortgage plan pure and simple —the plan by which countries, states and municipalities finance big projects. tj The ownership of your home is no doubt your first great ambition, as it is with most men. The financing of a two or three or four thousand dollar obligation may look like a big project to you. But it isn't half as big as it looks. Pattern after nations, states and cities—adopt the mortgage plan. CJ It is not necessary to have the full purchase price of a home in hand in orderd to acquire title thereto. If that's all that lies between you and your home, a mortgage will bridge the gulf. HARRISBURG TRUST CO. Capital and Surplus SBOO,OOO mill CODE is BEING MAILED OUT First of Legislative Reference Bureau's Drafts Now Printed m At least one bill has already been drafted for intro / ft duction in the next Legislature, ©l anc ' ttie |s Kl'&s&Si seeking criticisms pof It so that if it I ha 8 an y w iiffIUUUQL the >' "lay be dis -1 fer covered in ample It Is a codifi cation of all the laws on the subject of taxation, except purely local laws, prepared by the Legislative Reference Bureau. The code is a mere trilfle of some 75.000 words long and is admi rably adapted to light some reading for those who hanker after this sort of thing. The last Legislature directed the Legislative Reference Bureau to pre pare codes of laws on all classes of subject and to present to the session of 1915 such as may be ready. Three art virtually ready. They are codifica tion of taxation laws, borough laws and corporation laws. The taxation cqde came from the printer to-day. and the two others will soon be ready. The codification has been going on for more than a year by a force of lawyers and laymen working under the direct supervision of James Mc- Kirdy, assistant director of the bu reau, and the first result of their la bors is going broadcast through the mails: the taxation code Is a pamphlet of more than 250 pages, document size. "We want criticism on this draft." said Mr. McKirdy to-day. "We cannot say that It is perfect, but we believe that it contains every existing law on the subject of taxation. This code establishes no new law; it merely ar ranges those which exist in a compact form in one act; if such a code be enacted every other taxation law will be repealed, as was the case with the school laws when the school code was enacted in 1911. "We believe the supply of this code is sufficient for all demands, and any one will be furnished with a copy who writes to us for it. We want it to be read and considered as widely as possible." The bureau expects to follow the same plan of distribution of the other codes when they are ready. The code is divided into fourteen chapters, several of which, such as township, county and State taxes, have a lot of different articles; the State chapter has fifteen different articles. The general plan Is the jsame as that of the school code of 1911, except that the sections In the taxation code are numbered seriatim from section one in each chapter or article; in the |scho 1 code the sections are number- Ed seriatim from section one of arti cle one and occasionally a few num bers would be omitted, so that addi tions could be made to the school code without interfering with the numeri cal order of the sections. The taxation code contains a sum mary of the laws used in making the code, this table Indicating at a glance to a lawyer just where any existing law may be found in the code, or from what existing law any provision of the code is taken.

The losing of a po sition and its recapture in a war so colossal is merely an episode which serves to indicate the strength and weakness of the opposing forces. The strategy which enables us to re-take Muelhausen was as follows: "We knew from aviators that the Germans had between the French fronlet and Muelhausen a compara tively small force and that the major part of their army was amassed on the right bank of the Rhine. With this knowledge our objective In the attack was to cause them to fall back we obtaining control of bridges on the Rhine to enable us to repulse a coun -1 ter attack If it should come on the j right bank. "The Germans installed artillery | and earthworks. The attack was ; brilliant and forceful and as the Ger j mans were strongly fortified our suc | cess was also a valorous deed.
