COL T. MTJONES TO
SELL NEWSPAPERS

| shoes, figuratively speaking, of the i
I president of the Newsboys' Associa- j
tion. 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. Hupley's ad- j
dress on "Patriotism and Competition" ,
received hearty applause. Leon j
Lowengard talked on the success of
the organization during the first year.
K. J. Stackpole. Jr., congratulated the;
association on its successful organiza- i
tioi> and discussed the advantages and j
opportunities for self-development j
and the cultivation of ideas which I
the association affords; H. E.'Brum-j
baugh. representative of the Curtis
Publishing Company talked on "Sales- j
manship," and the Rev. E. P. Robin- |
son and Mr. Levlne of Steelton also;
made short addresses.
Banquet By William St rouse
Complete plans were announced for)
anniversary week which culminates j
on next Friday evening in the big:
birthday banquet which William J
Strt.use will give the newsboys in \
honor of the first anniversary of the!
fornding of Ihe association. Mr. i
Strouse presented an emblem, blue,
and white, with the name of the or
ganization inscribed, of which t\ie
members are very proud. The routine :
business of the evening included the :
reading of ithe minutes, from which
it appeared that Frank J. Brady and
Vance C. McCormick had presented
lo the association a large bookcase
and that already a goodly number j
of books had been received from i
various sources to fill the same.
Anniversary week will be ushered
in to-morrow morning with a special
address in ohev Sholom Temple by
Rabbi Freund.

CITY PLANNER IS HEARTILY IN
FA VOR OF CITY B
GEORGE A. 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

Both Operators and

, 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

MARINES RULE
STOCK MARKET
Almost One-Third of Today's
Operations Consist of Com
mon and Preferred
New York, April 29. 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.
