HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FRENCH WOMEN EIRN ONE CENT PER HOUR Some Are Able to Make From Two to Five Times That Amount By Associated rrtss Paris, April 24. 5.00 P. M.—Some extraordinary statements reftardinjr sweatshop wanes in this country were brought out in the senate yesterday during the debate on a bill to fix a minimum living wage throughout France by boards created by the gov ernment, Jean Morel said that be tween nine hundred thousand.and one million women in France are now en during insupportable servitude and re ceiving wuges barely sufficient to main tain life. . M. Morel. Henry Cheron and Ed ouard Heriet stated that 75 per cent, of the workers at home on household linen goods make from 2 1-10 to 4 cents per hour by intense industry. In some provincial centers pay for such work is 1 cent per hour. In Paris 14 per cent, of the women working upon undergarments make a maximum of S4O yearly. Makers ot artificial flowers employing much taste and manual dexterity are able to make in the best season from 80 cents to a dollar per day, but more than 50 per cent, never are able to get beyond 30 or 40 cents. In the provinces women working on under wear and ready-made clothing are able to make only 10 to 12 cents a day in most cases and rarely as much as 20 cents. One case was that of a woman who had a child to support. The mother began to sew at the machine at 3 o'clock in the morning and worked all day and part of the night. She was able to earn 25 cents a day, but could afford nothing more to eat than soups. The bill passed its first reading in the senate. It had already passed the chamber in November, 1911. Asphyxiating Bombs Effective Behind Lines Paris, April 24.—Official communi cations issued to-day say: "To the north of Ypres the Ger mans, by employing large quantities of asphyxiating bombs, the effect of which was felt for a distance of two kilometers (1 1-5 miles) behind our lines, forced us to retire in the direc tion of the Yser canal. ."The surprise caused by asphyxiat ing bombs, however, had no grave consequences. Our counter-attacks vigorously supported by British troops on our right and also by Belgian troops on our left were developed with suc cess. The Anglo-French troops gained toward the north between Steenstraete l and the Ypres-Poelcapelle road. Our allies took prisonr.s belonging to three different regiments." I LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR I POLITICS v». PATRIOTISM To the Editor of the Telegraph: In your issue of this date, appeared three distinct articles, including your ed.corial on the defeat of the local option bill. On the first page the Governor is represented as listening to promises of a local option plank in the Republican platform for 1916. After what was seen and heard last Tue.sclav, is there any one who be lieves that such a plank would mean any more in the Republican platform than it did this year in the Democratic platform? Regardless of what may be found in the platforms, is it not evi dent that the machines of both these parties are very wet? In the articlo on the seventh page it is intimated that the administration will try to smother the Glenn Constitu tional Amendment Hill in committee. Are you willing to charge our Governor with brtng so unpatriotic? He, person allv told me that he was for local option because it was "* great moral question" and because be believed "it is a step towards prohibition." I have had his honesty questioned more than once in the matter of his stand for local op tion. and have constantly defended him as "honest" in his purposes. I cannot believe that he would lend himself to the smothering of a hill, that if passed would begin to pave the way to let the whole people vote 011 the of the existence of the saloon and the liquor traffic. It will not do to make a stage play and say that because there were more votes for such a measure two years ago than for local option, those who so voted did-not mean it. I hap pen to know, not guess, that not only are there many people through the State that do not favor local option and who do favor State and national prohibition, but I also know that not every man who voted "No" last Tues day is a liquor man. Such a speech as Ivitts, of Erie, made last Tuesday is inexcusable and could be made only by a man who represents such a dis trict as sent him here. And while there were but few valid arguments offered against local option there were some, while figures and petitions were Juggled by both sides. This question has been handled in the past so as to keep the prohibition forces from uniting against the liquor abomination and to keep corrupt politics on top, but I am loathe to believe that our Governor will lend himself to any such scheme as is outlined by the article in your columns of to-day (the 23rd) on the "th pag.-, entitled, 'PROHIBITION IS To BE HliLlJ BACK." It would not be Patriotic but Partyotic. Patriotically yours. B. E. P. PRUGH. Prohibition Plate Chairman. , Harrisburg. Pa., April 23, 1915. POST 58 LARGEST IX STATE With 250 Members I.oeal CJ. A.

The existence of the vault was unknown to the oc cupant of the farm, as there were no tombstones to mark the place. It must have been very old, as the roots of the tree had grown down through the top of the vault into the grave. When the tree fell. It tore the top of the grave open, and leg bones, about which the roots had grown, dangled in the air. A human skeleton, the shroud and a part of a shoe could be plainly seen in the broken coffin.
