Wagner Hoffman, whose stand is at Third and Walnut streets, and j will sell newspapers all afternoon for l the benefit of the sick fund of the| Newsboys' Association of this city. The coincidence is that. 35 years ngcC Mr. Jones sold papers on that very] corner, so there is a sentimental at- ; : tachment to the project as well as a desire to help the newsboys. Nor will he be alone. Dr. J. W. Elienberger, John Pyne, Ed. J. Eisle.v, | and others now prominent in various 'lines of activity who were in their; j boyhood the newsboys of the city, j have been invited to participate. At ; the meeting of the association held I last evening in the hall at 304 North Second street, the following commit- I tee of newsboys was appointed to visit j i the business and professional men who ' used to sell papers and urge them to help in the boost, similar to the one. j .ithat in Detroit was so uniquely and successfully carried out that it became! a national news item: Arthur Koplo ; vitz, Michael Ivlawansky, Samuel Clompus and Wagner Hoffman, ex- | officio. Series of Addresses to the Boys A large and enthusiastic gathering last evening listened to the remarks oi the six speakers who addressed the newsboys on widely varied subjects. Ex-Congressman A. R.

SHREINER'S HOME, AN EXAMPLE OF HOW MANY ANOTHER CITY RESIDENCE MIGHT BE TREATED George A. Shreiner, member of the City Planning Commission, has done as much as any one other man for the beautiflcation of that part of Harrisburg lying east of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Shreiner, aa a builder, has erected many of the handsome residences that adorn that section and has taken much interest in the beautilication of the lawns and ground surrounding them. His own home, at Seventeenth and Forster streets, is a line example of what may be done by the use of porchboxes and shrubbery. In a letter to the editor, Mr. Shreiner heartily endorses the Telegraph's Porch and Window Hox Campaign now meeting with such hearty co-operation on the part of the businessmen and people at large. The letter follows: BRITISH FORCE SURRENDERS TO TURKS | [Continued From First Page.j guns and munitions before surrender | ing. | General Townshend probably was driven to surrender to avoid starva tion of his force. A recent official Turkish communication said that the position of the British at Kut-el- Amara was critical and that they were expecting to receive small supplies of food by aeroplane. An official statement received yes terday from London showed that a last effort to send supplies to the garrison had failed. It was announced that a ship laden with supplies had been sent; up the .Tigris, that it had been grounded about four miles east of the city. Less than a score of miles away on the banks of the Tigris below the city, is a relief army which for months had been attempting to reach the be- , sieged forces of General Townshend. A few weeks ago several victories were announced and hope ran high in England that the mission would succeed. Of late, however, the Turks' ! resistance has increased and. aided > by floods, they have been able to hold British in check. No official figures have been given out as to the number of troops which set forth from the Persian gulf in November of 1914 on the expedition which has now ended in surrender. Unofficially the number has been esti mated as high as 50.000, but it was probably considerably smaller than this. This force has suffered heavy! losses in severe battles with the Turks. ' In the Verdun region in France the j Germans have resumed a pronounced j aggressive, delivering a vigorous at- J tack in the vicinity of Thiaumont farm, ! east of the Meuse. near Douaumont, I and massing for an assault after vio- | lentl.v bombarding French positions 1 near Avocourt and the dominating Hill j 304. to the west of the river. The Thiaumont attack was repulsed 1 with heavy losses, Paris declares, while i the French artillery dispersed the Ger- ; man masses before they could advance to the assault in the Avocourt sector. ! The notable series of attacks by the Germans 011 the British lines in North ern France and Belgium reported Thursday night by London seems to have been something in the nature of a "feeling out" process, us it was not immediately followed up. Mine ex plosions and aerial actions are the only activities repftrted from the Brit- 1 ish section of the front. French Consider Verdun Battle at an End Paris, April 29. —The battle of Ver dun may now be considered as ended, ' according to the opinion prevailing in • French militarj circles. Not only the I recent French official reports, but yes- \ terday's German announcement stated that nothing important had developed in the Verdun region, it is nearly two months since the German war office has made such a statement. Heavy German batteries in consid erable numbers have been withdrawn from before Verdun and sent to a dis tant point, which, judging from the increasing activity there, probably is the portion of Ihe line held bv'thel British, II V A CHANDLER THRO Tlie "Only Girl Company" plays Universal city with :i Chandler Six.

Both Operators and Miners in Conference Are , Still Standing Firm By Associated Press r ♦ New Y ork » Aprll B °th opera tors and miners were still standing ■ tirm to-day when their subcommittees b went into conference in an effort to ' reach a final settlement of their dif - Terences which threatens to bring on 1 a strike among the 175.000 miners in the anthracite fields. Unless such an agreement is reached to-day, it was ! said by representatives of the miners, a strike would undoubtedly ensue. Hope for a settlement was based on 1 a reported new proposal by the miners insisting upon the recognition of their union, but without any liability on the ' part or the, operators for the collection of union dues and assessments, the lat ? ter being a concession. The proposal included also a demand for a 10 per ; cent, wage increase instead of the 5 t P e £, ( 'ent. offered by the operators. 1 The final answer of the operators * will be submitted to the miners at the tatter's convention In Fottsville, Pa " next Tuesday.

Almost one third of to-day's active operations consisted of Mercantile Marine Com mon and preferred, the latter rising almost six points to well above 90, a new record, the common gaining % to 25, a mere fraction under its maximum. Trading in these shares was of such a feverish character as to convey the belief that a settlement of the com pany's difficulties is at hand. The market otherwise seemed disposed to sag, but this condition was partly overcome later, when various second ary specialties such as Distillers' Se curities, Petroleums, Motors and some less active issues rose 2 to 4 points. Standard stocks manifested little of their recent strength and activity and United States Steel denoted pressure. The closing was firm. Bonds were strong.
