French By Associated Press Paris, Dec. 17. —The employment of General Sir Douglas Haig as Brit ish commander-in-chief in place of Marshal Sir John French was entirely unexpected in France, where it has made a great impression. The press is unanimous in expressions of regret at the departure of Field Mar shal French and lays particular em phasis on his services during the try ing times of the opening period of the war. The newspapers express satisfaction that Field Marshal French Is suc ceeded by one of his most apt pupils, whose proverbial good IUCK IS men tioned, with the hope tnat It may prove to be a favorable omen. EMPLOYERS MAY ASK FOR CHANGE Much Surprise Over Removal of Compensation Referee to Lancaster / There was much surprise to-day over the announcement of the Work men's Compensation Board that the headquarters for the referee of the Harrisburg district had been changed from this city to Lancaster. Em ployers were not pleaseed with the change, which removes the head quarters from industrial and railroad center of the district to one corner of the territory covered by the ref eree. The change will cost hundreds of dollars a year additional in rail road fares and many days of time lost. It is likely that some effort will be made to have the board re voke the ruling. The Board has assigned ten referees to districts and formally exempted 24 corporations from necessity of taking out insurance to cover claims under the provisions of the Compensation Act. All of these companies convinced the board of their tinancial ability to meet any liabilities which might be in curred under the law, the board re gaining the privilege of revoking Its | action at any time.

A CLOCK MADE IN GERMANY A clock made in Germany is con structed of nothing but straw. Not evien a piece of stiffening cardboard or a drop of glue has been used. It is six feet high and is two feet square. There are eight pendulums which allow speed regulation. By pressing a button which comes out automatically on one side, the clock work is wound up and runs for five hours. By pushing another button, llie hands can be set. The dial, figures, pendulum, hands, even the chain, weight gears and the skeleton are of straw. The chain Is fourteen inches long and endless. In the con struction of this clock, thousands of stalks of straw have been used, most ly three and four fold to give greater strength.—Januarv Popular Science Monthly.

If you have done your shopping early, you can sit back in your big chair and smile contentedly; but if you haven't, remember that you can't al ways get what you want on the day before Christmas. Generally the people of Harrisburg have responded nobly to the "shop early" call and the merchants say that this year has been the heaviest so far of any Christmas shopping season in the memory of the present generation. All the big merchants are well pre pared to receive a heavy rush of busi ness to-morrow, even though the un pleasant weather may put a damper upon the spirits of some of the less hardy of the shoppers. Yesterday was the heaviest shopping day one of the big department stores has ever had, and it was the same at many of the FOR RESTRICTION ON ALIEN GOODS Secretary Redfield Urges Leg islation to Prevent "Unfair Competition" After War Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. C., Dec. 17. —Legis- lation to protect the industrial and commercial markets of the United States from a "destructive type of struggle and unfair competition" at the close of the European war was recommended to Congress yesterday by Secretary of Commerce Redfield in his annual report. Every strategem of Industrial war, he says, will be used by powerful for eign agencies against American indus tries which may menace large markets heretofore controlled abroad. "In my judgment," said the secre tary, "the matter Is one which may be more wisely treated as an attempted wrong to be forbidden than as an eco nomic matter which needs to bo re strained. I should prefer, therefore, to deal with it by a method other than tariffs, classing it as an offense similar to the unfair domestic compe tition we now forbid. It seems pos sible that by ustng the existing ma rhinery of the Treasury Department and Department of Justice we may re strain this foreign 'unfair competition' on both sides of the sea. "I recommend, therefore, that such legislation be enacted as will give to the foreign representatives of the above-named departments such added powers and increased personnel as they may need for this purpose, and that it be- enacted if possible that mer chandise sold in 'unfair competition' or under circumstances which tend to create a monopoly in behalf of the foreign producer in American mar kets shall be forfeited. Would Supplement Clayton Act "I also recommend that legislation supplement to the Clayton antitrust act be enacted which shall make it unlawful to sell or purchase articles of foreign origin or manufacture where the prices to be paid are ma terially below the current rates for such articles in the country of produc tion or from which shipment Is made In case such prices substantially lessen competition on the part of the Ameri can producers or tend to create a monopoly in American markets in favor of the foreign producer, and that it be made unlawful for any per son to buy, sell or contract for the sale of articles of foreign origin, or to fix a price for same or to make a rebate upon such price, conditioned upon the purchaser thereof not using or dealing in wares produced or sold "by the competitors of the manufac turer or seller, where the effect Is to substantially lessen competition In the production In the United States of such articles, or tends to create a monopoly In the sale of such articles in Ameri can markets in favor of a foreign producer."

GEORGE SPECKS Mrs. George Specks, colored, aged 61 years, 610 Cowden street, died last night at the Harrisburg Hospital. Mrs. Specks was admitted December 15, suffering from pneumonia. The body was sent to the home late this after noon. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. other stores. The smaller specialty retailer is likewise doing a heavy busi ness and there are mighty few indi viduals in the city at the present sea son who find time lying heavy on their hands. The uptown merchants are being kept busy handling the crowds, but all seem ready to meet the big demands upon their attention and space. Starting to-morrow night, prac tically all the stores will be open in the evenings until 9 o'clock straight through the week until Christinas. On the night before Christmas, however, Bowman's will close at 6 o'clock. This will be the third successive year that the big department store will have done this. Bowman's will be ready to try out their new pneumatic pressure and vacuum cash system, which will be given a fair test to-morrow under conditions that will test its efficiency to the utmost. SUSQUEHANNA TO REMAIN ICEBOUND Rain Expected to Continue Until Tomorrow Morning; to Get Colder No flood trouble is expected here aa a result of the rain which fell all day, partly freezing on the sidewalks and streets. The river still remained ice bound and no opening' appeared in the sheet of Ice on Wildwood Lake. The rain is expected to continue at intervals until some time to-morrow morning. It will be followed by cloudy and colder weather to-morrow night. A rise in temperature is predicted at the local weather bureau, but the ice on the river is not expected to break. The storm passing down over the Central States swerved eastward, bringing with it rain, sleet and warmer weather. Record rainfalls were re ported from this section of the coun try, but the rainfall here was not sufficient to cause alarm. Street cars and trains had slight difficulty in maintaining schedules and the icy pavements made walking dan gerous for pedestrians. Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec. 17.—Heavy rains last night and to-day succeeded the sleet and snow which fell yester day throughout this section of the Ohio valley, with the result that al most every small stream within a ra dius of fifty miles from here is at flood tide. Louisville, Qy., Dec. 17.—One of the heaviest rains in years has fallen over Kentucky within the last thirty-six hours, swelling small streams and flooding lowlands, but reports Indicate very little damage. At Louisville the Weather Bureau reports a rainfall of 4.19 inches during the twenty-four hours ending at 7 a. m. to-day. WORKMAN INJURED Emanuel Bitler. aged 23 years, an electrician for the Pennsylvania Steel Company, who resides at 220 Market street, was treated at the Harrisburg Hospital for internal injuries. While at work this morning he was caught between a car and box of ore. He was sent to his home this afternoon. SCHOOL TEACHER Anaemic, Run-down, Nervous How She Recovered. There are so many cases like this right here in Harrisburg that we are publishing this interesting letter with the hope that some of our customers will try Vinol and get the same hap py results that Miss Baez did. Key Wefit, Fla.—"l am a teacher and became anaemic, nervous, run down, no energy or desire to do any thing. I could not sleep and had that languid, nervous reeling that made me a brrden to myself. X had taken various tonics without benefit. I heard of Vinol and tried it. Soon I had a good appetite, could sleep all night and it built me up so I have the ambition to do any kind of work." Mary L. Baez, Key West, Fla. The reason Vinol was so successful in this case is because it is a consti tutional remedy that goes to the seat of trouble. The peptonate of Iron con tained in Vlnol enriches and revital izes the blood, while the strengthen ing, tissue-building properties of the extractives of codn' livers and beef peptone aid in building up the tired, overworked, run-dowj» system.

EXPECT PARK PLAN BY EARLY SPRING [Continued From First Page.] capitol grounds which would be ef fected by the proposed scheme of constructing a walk through the park on the terrace Just east of Third street, was prepared. It will probably be taken up later. The walk in the park was suggested to permit the in corporation of the sidewalk on the east side of Third street into the high way proper. This would add twenty or thirty feet to the width of the street. The board of public grounds and buildings appeared to consider favor ably the Planning Commission's further suggestion for the appoint ment of an architectural expert as well as a landscape expert in plan ning the park development. Mr. Gilbert of the Capitol Park Extension Commission was invited by Governor Brumbaugh to explain just what the situation is with reference to the ground to the east of the state house.

If this procedure is necessary the necessary bonds would be filed and the State could tak« possession so that within sixty days after the proceeding was started, the Board of Public Grounds and Build ings would have the properties. Governor Brumbaugh pointed out that the problem is one of the ut most important and that matter would be given careful attention as early as possible. Both the bridge and subway plans for State street were discussed al though nothing definite was decided upon. Governor Brumbaugh is of the opinion that the view from the Pennsylvania Railroad to the state house should be not interrupted. Whether or not the construction of a bridge at State street would inter fere any more than a subway ap proach was not gone into very thor oughly. That the members of the Board of Public Grounds and Build ings are in a receptive mood however, and are of an open mind on the whole problem was clearly indicated to the City Planners. "By Spring at the latest," was the official assurance to the planners, "the State hopes to have some plan worked out, and then we will call upon your commission to meet with us to offer suggestions."
