Asserts Germany Cannot

By .Issociated Press
London. May 10. The Danish
newspaper Ribestifts Tidende claims
lo have discovered by a month's in
vestigation that the belief prevails in
Germany that it is impossible to con
tinue. the war to the end of 1916.
Many In Germany believe that it
cannot be maintained through the
summer, the paper asserts, and con
tinues:
"The rations of the German soldiers
were cut six weeks ago. Meat is be
coming rare, bread is limited to
twelve ounces daily and food parcels
from the soldiers' homes are now for

suffer.
Bernard Shaw Declares
Shot Irishmen Martyrs
By Associated Press
London. May 10.—George Bernard
Shaw, discussing the executions of the
Sinn Feiners in an open letter to-day
says:
"My view is that men who were shot
in cold blood after their capture or
surrender were prisoners of war and
it was therefore entirely Incorrect to
slaughter them. The slaughter of a
man in his position makes hint a
martyr and a hero. The shot Irish
men will now take their places beside
Kmmet and the Manchester martyrs
in Ireland besides the heroes of Po
land. Serbia and Belgium in Europe.
Nothing in heaven or earth can pre
vent it."
War Makes York Boy
Heir of English Family
Vork, Pa., May 10.—When the ro
mances of the great war are written
it is doubtful whether any will be
more dramatic than that of Wilbert B.
Dcy. a York boy. who ran away from
home to enlist with a Canadian regi
ment.
Mr. and Mrs. William S. Dey, fiar
ents of the runaway, in their deter
mination to bring their son home,
sought the aid of the State Depart
ment. By this time the young volun
teer -was in England, but his discharge
from the army was arranged and
money for his return passage hail al
ready been forwarded when his plead
ing caused his parents to relent. The
passage money was returned and he
was permitted to remain with his regi
ment.
This was the last the Deys heard
from their son until to-day, when a
brief letter came from him. It told of
an injury sustained in liattle which
would prevent his further service: of
his having been given a home with a
wealthy English family on their large
estate. Forest Hill, during his con
valescence, and of the desire of this
family to adont him as the second son.
Tic asks his parents' consent to this
step.
The York boy's letter lacks detail,
but he explains its buvity by stating
that lie had been forbidden the exer
tion of writing more.

Dr. Brumbaugh declined to make
I any further statements or to discuss
any of the propositions brought out
: by the Philadelphia legislator in his
1 speech last night.

The Stern Charge®.
: After referring to the failure to pro
duce the Oliver letter or to reply to
I the statement by John W. Frazier that
lit could be found in 15 minutes Mr.
| Stern says this of the Governor:
j "Since the details of the Oliver oon
trlbuUon became a public aocusatlon
there have been persistent rumors
throughout Pennsylvania to the ef-
I feet that there had been other polit-
I ieal contributions, in the form of
j checks, which similarly had been un
accounted for. as required by law.
"As a citizen and as a member of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, I con
sider it my plain obligation to lay be-,
fore the people of Pennsylvania cer
tain additional facts, at the same time
urging that Governor Brumbaugh im
mediately take action legally to dis
prove the allegations resting against
; him. If such allegations are untrue.
"The facts relating to this second
j unaccounted-for campaign check are
these:
"In June. 1911, following the pri
mary election In which Martin G.
Brumbaugh \\;is nominated for the
office of Governor upon the Republi
can ticket, Louis J. Kolb borrowed
So,ooo from the Real Estate Trust
Company* of Philadelphia, which
money he thereupon immediately de
posited with the said Real Estate
Trust Company to the account of Mar
tin G. Brumbaugh, with the explana
tion that it was to he used by Dr.
Brumbaugh for political purposes in
his campaign.
A<i-oimting Asked
I "So far as is ltnown, no part of this
•*5,000 was ever accounted for in the
rimpaign accounts either of Dr. Brum
baugh or any of his campaign com
mittees. There is every reason to be
lieve that examination of this bank
account will show that it was drawn
upon by a series of checkß signed by
Martin G. Brumbaugh, between June
land October, 1914, the fund being ex
hausted just prior to the November
election of that year. It is well
i known that every one of these checks
\ as drawn either directly or indirect
ly to the Governor himself or to one
of his closest political associates, and
that the money was expended during
the campaign by the Governor or by
his immediate representatives. This
contribution clearly was a gift with
out other consideration than that it
was to be used during the campaign.
"If Governor Brumbaugh is inno
cent he has nothing to fear. In jus
tice to himself. I urge that he imme
diately call a special session of the
Legislature, in order to seek before
that proper tribunal a vindication of
the accusations which have been made
against him.
"If the Governor refuses to follow
that course, it must be accepted by
the people of Pennsylvania as an ad
mission of guilt. In such an event
I shall demand a legisattye investi
gation of all the facts alleged."
What Col. Kolh Says
The Philadelphia Inquirer of to-day
says:
When Louis J. Kolb was informed
last night of the charges made against
Governor Brumbaugh by Isador
Stern. he made an indignant denial of
his alleged part in them. Mr. Kolb
• as seen at his West School lane home
in Germantown. At first he re
fused to discuss Mr. Stern's accusa
tion, but later expressed his confi
dence in the Governor and declared
that Dr. Brumbaugh had never abused
his friendship.
"I refuse to get mixed up in any
such mess as this." said Mr. Kolb,
"When the right time comes I'll say
what I have to say and not before. I
i.m not going to reply to the insane
ravings of an irresponsible person.
"I have absolute confidence in Gov
ernor Brumbaugh. He is a gentle
man and has never aoused my confl-
Jence. He never misused a cent of
my money, although that is not say
ing that he ever had any of it."
Mr. Kolb denied that Dr. Brum
baugh had ever borrowed any money
from him. He refused to answer a
direct quetion as to whether he had
ever loaned the Governor any amount.
Asked to make a complete state
ment on the Stern charges, he said:
"Isn't what I've said enough? Have
I not said that the Governor never
abused my confidence? Don't you
think that if he misused any of my
money I would lose confidence in
him V"
Mr. Kolb was especially indignant
• •ver the reference to his appointment
| to a colonelcy on the Governor's staff
|of the .National Guard of Pennsylva-1
| uia. He said:
! "So they charge a political deal be
tween Dr. Brumbaugh and me for the
colonelcy. That's absolutely false.
The Governor can have my colonelcy
any time he wants it. And. incident
ally was there ever a colonel of the
staff who knew anything about the
National Guard?"
Denial was also made by Mr. Kolb
that the Governor had aided him in a
campaign for the mayorality.
"I wouldn't be mayor if I could."
lie continued. "Not that it isn't a high
honor, but my ambitions d onot run in
that direction. At the dinner men-
Moned there was no boom for me for
the mayoralty nomination. The sub
ject wasn't mentioned. It was just a
gathering on the 50th anniversary of
|my birth and 100 friends were pres
jent. We didn't discuss the subject,
in fact, I issued special orders to that
effect. Dr. Brumbaugh wasn't pres
; ent or didn't send any letter or tele
gram."
Mr. Kolb made his strongest reply
( when he heard that his daughter's se
, lection as sponsor for the battleship
Pennsylvania had been as a result of
his $5,000 gift to Dr. Brumbaugh.
Then he closed the interview with the
! following:
i "If the charges came from a respon
sible source I would reply to them.
They arc false, the insane ravings of
an Irresponsible person whom I do
not even know and I will not dignify
them with any further discussion."

TROOPS MOBILIZING
FOR BORDER SERVICE
[Continued From First Page]
punitive expedition in Mexico was evi
dent on both sides of the Rio Grande
to-day. notwithstanding the situation
was not materially altered by the con
ferees in their three-hour talk last
night. The optimism appeared based
largely upon the admission that an
other conference would be held, per
haps to-day, and that General Obregon
and his military advisers maintained
atlitudes of hopefulness.
The net result of the conferences
already held is that the Mexican repre
sentatives yet insist upon placing the
question of the withdrawal of General
Pershing's forces ahead of the ques
tion of co-operation. General Scott
was expected to receive from the War
Department a communication from
which a reply could be delivered to
General Obregon's counter proposal
for a joint patrol of the border by the
troops of each country on its own side
of the line. With this agreed to. Gen
eral Obregon believed that co-operation
in the running down of bandits that
raided across the line might be -more
effect Ive.
Whether the conference will take
place before late to-day was unknown
either at General obregon's lieadquar-
ters or at General Scott's. Because of
the new phases suggested by General
Obregon it was believed probable that
bo would consult with Carranza and
that delays in communicating with the
Mexican capital might make the hold
ing of the conference before, to-mor
row impossible.
Obregon Not Worried
The ordering into Ihe border coun
try of more regular troops and militia
appeared not to woiry Genera 1
Obregon and those military men with
him. nor did Juan N. Amador, sub
secretary of foreign affairs, appear
perturbed. They assumed that the in
creasing of the forces along the border
to an army of almost 50.000 to be
solely for the protection of towns on
tlie American side and laughed at sug
gestions more serious moves might be
contemplated.
Major Langhorne. commanding two
troops of the Eighth Cavalry, was
nearing the International boundary
line early to-day and it is understood
that he is prepared to cross into Mex
ico If he sees any chance of running
down any of the bandits implicated in
the raid on Glenn Springs and Bo

little force will depend upon circum

Bad Man of Big Bend
Country Meets Death in
Long Range Rifle Duel
By Associated Press
Marathon, Tex., May 10.—Demetrio
De La Garza, once known as the "bad
man of the Big Bend country," met
his death in a long range rifle duel
with an American trooper on Mon
day in the hills near Boquillas. The
cavalryman not only killed De La
Garza, but killed the Mexican's com
panion. De La Garza kept a small
trading store on the American side
of the Rio Grande, but ranchers have
long known him as a smuggler. News
of his death was brought here to-day
by J. \V. Gudson, a truck contractor.
De La Garza resented the presence
of the American soldiers as a border
patrol and in Boquillas, he is said to
have given advance information to the
V'la bandits before their raid. The
informer with an assistant observed
tho American cavalryman on patrol
duty near Boquillas on Monday and
the two Mexicans opened (ire. The
cavalryman returned the fire and kill
ed the two Mexicans.
Villa bands in large numbers are
reported to be concentrating at El
Pino, 85 miles south of Boquillas. The
two bodies of bandits split their forces
after the Glenn Springs raid with the
understanding that they would join
their commands at El Pino.
SCHOOL TAX RATE IS
RAISED TO TEN MILLS
[Continued From First Page]
proposition that not only must enough
tax be levied to meet current expenses
but enough to pay the Board's floating
debt. The maintenance of a public
school system for the education of
11,000 pupils, with present standardsi
is an expensive matter. I am not
prepared to say, from such investiga
tions as I have been able to make
since 1 went on the Board last Dei em
ber, when the present board was or
ganized, that the cost of maintaining:
the Harrisburg schools is not more
than It ought to be, but, allowing for
a few faults in administration that
can be and 1 have no doubt will be
corrected, resulting possibly in a little
waste. I have not yet been able to fig
| ure out that, as the schools are now
organized, they lan be operated for
j much if any less money.
Standard of Salaries
| "For Instance, our standard of
teachers' salaries is next to Philade
lphia, the highest in the State. The
average salaries paid teachers in Ilar
j risburg is $542.33. Pittsburgh comes
next with an average of $79tf.37. In
: Wilkes-Karre the average is $790.32.
i In Allentown, $739.49, and so on down
i the list. There are 322 teachers on
the payroll.
| " Furthermore, high schools arc
; much more expensive to operate than
.schools of a lower grade, both because
lot the greater cost of leaching and
the greater cost of supplies.
"The percentage of the total school
enrollment in the High Schools of
Harrisburg is very much In excess of
jihe average enrollment. And I un
derstand that our Technical High
School, both in attendance and in the
character of iho equipment and the
I scope of the instruction, is very much
| In advance of any school of like char
acter in the State, perhaps outside of
| Philadelphia, and the cost of main
taining that school is particularly ex-
I pensive. I have never heard an ob
jection to the maintenance, at its
I present standard, of this school. If
the Harrisburg schools cost more than
I other schools, i am inclined to think
it is principally because of the high
!or standard maintained all along the
i line.
"Vhis Increase in the tax will be
somewhat more seeming than 'real.
| too. The school population is increas
ing faster than the real estate assess
ment. Since 1910 the average tri
ennial assessment has increased ap
proximately 5% per cent. In the
'same period I he school enrollment has
[increased nearly ten per cent. In
'other words, the population, and pre
sumably the actual value of taxable
real estate, have increased about twice
as much as the real estate'assessment,
i which, of course, the Board must de
pend upon for its revenues. if the
| assessments had increased in the same
proportion as the school population,
and in the same proportion as actual
'values, and of course the number or
scholars largely determines the cost
l of the schools—the Hoard might not
I have had a deficit, or anyway so much
lof a deficit as it has, and certainly
so much of an increase in the tax
rate would not be required now.
"There are a lot of new things in
!the schools these days that cost
money. In the last fifteen years medi
cal inspection, open-air schools, do
| mestic science and a dental clinic have
: been added. A teachers' retirement
j fund to which over $6,000 a year is
! contributed by the Board, and a con
tribution of $5,000 to the Harrisburg
Public Library, have been added. On
| account of these new items, all added
| t'o the Board's expenses in the last
fifteen years, over $30,000 was spent
j last year. The people seem to want
| these things.
lligli School l.oan Covered
"It is hoped if the rate shall
now lie fixed at 10 mills, that no fur
ther increase will be required to meet
interest and sinking fund charges
with respect to any loan that may
have been made to build a new high
school.
Teachers as Agents
"In this connection let me say a
word about the matter of school
teachers acting as school book agents
to which some public reference has
recently been made. There are no
teachers in Harrisburg who sell or
try to sell school books to the Har
risburg District. I understand there
are two of the 322 teachers in the
Hoard's employ who are agents for
the sale of the books of the Ameri
can Book Company in districts out
side of, Harrisburg, namely, Mr.
Machen, of the Camp Curtin building
and Mr. Goetz, of the Cameron build
ing. If any considerable number of
teachers were engaged in this busi
ness on the side, I can easily see
that it might be objectionable, but as
the Superintendent is responsible for
the selection of the books used in the
District and not the teachers, and
with only two out of 322 selling books,
and those two being, 1 understand,
good teachers and gentlemen of high
character, it rather seems as though
there is no real ground for exception.
I assume that these two gentlemen
limit their activities to the vacation
season when they are not in the em
ploy of the Board. During the school
term the Board is entitled to all of
their time and energies."
CHILDREN WE WORRY ABOUT
Close confinement in school during
the past winter, overstudy perhaps, an
attack of the grip or tonsilitis, some
one of these things is doubtless respon
sible for the condition of the child who
shows a decline in health now.
What are the symptoms? Pallor and
languor, a fickle appetite, dark rings
under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very
often the best efforts of the family
pnysician fail in such cases and the
condition of the child causes the most
intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil.fiooiten
prescribed, generally fails because the
weak stomach is unable to digest fats.
Try this treatment. Before break
,ast each morning give the child the
juice of half an orange. Afterthenoon
meal give one of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Keep this up for a few days and
then give one of the pills after the
evening meal also. Weigh the child (
before beginning the treatment and
again after two weeks. An increase in j
weight of from two to five pounds will
show you that you arc on the right
track at last. Care is necessary in the

Uncover Skeletons of
20 Indian Warriors
Oregon City, Ore , May 12.—While
excavating for a basement near the
river bank, men employed by Frank
Busch uncovered twenty skeletons of
Indians In one hole. The bodies are
supposed to be the remains of Indians
killed in battle, for in one or two eases
arrow heads were found between the
bones.
The first trace of the bones was
found when the workmen uncovered a
skull. It was buried by itself, and
Busch. who has studied the And care
fully. believes thut it belonged to a
thief, or leader. To prevent dis
turbnig the bones the workmen be
gan excavating in another place, and
they found a hole wtth a raduis of
about six feet which, Busch estimates,
contains the bones of at least 211 In
dians. The skeletons are lying like
the soepks of a wheel, with the
skulls in the center. Over the top of
the grave was a thick, hard crust of
baked clay that was hardened like
stone.
