eers and men. In this calculation,
however, there are excluded 5,723
Philippine scouts, 0,409 in the quar
termaster's corps, 7,290 in the medical
department, 3,387 in the signal corps
and 8,750 unassigned recruits, a total
of 31,659. hTese added to the regular
line of 175,000 men give a total regu
lar army peace' strength of 206,659.
The President is authorized to increase
1 lie regular army divisions to maxi
mum strength without Congressional
action.
t'nder the conference agreement the
regular army would consist of 65 regi
ments of Infantry, 25 regiments of cav
alry, 21 regiments of Held artillflVy, a
coast artillerv corps of 30,009 officers
and men, a signal corps of 3,387 men
including the aviation section, and
seven regiments of engineers. In the
aviation section the number of officers
is increased from a total of 60 to 148,
including one colonel, one lieutenant
colonel, eight majors, 24 captains and
IJ4 first lieutenants.
The organization plan contemplates
taking the full peace strength within
five years as proposed in the original
preparedness plans.
General officers of the line would be
increased by four major-generals and
19 brigadier generals. The general
staff of the army would be increased
from 34 officers to 52. The provision
of the Senate bill which would have
placed live officers of the National
Guard in the general staff, was
stricken out but provision was made
for officers of the National Guard to
be assigned 1o volunteer citizen camps
in government pay. An effort to give
volunteer citizens camp pay of enlisted
men while in training camps failed.
A provision for vocational training
for men in the regular army regu
lated by the Secretary of War, was
left in the bill and the House proposal
for government operation of nitrate
manufacturing plants to cost more
than $20,000,000 also was accepted.
Selection of sites is left to the Presi
dent. The product of the plants when
not needed in war time may be sold
for fertilizer under executive regula
tions.
Authority for the government to
seize and operate private plants for
manufacture of munitions of war in
time of need is given and the Presi
dent is empowered to appoint a board
of five men, two civilians and three

ONE LEGGED MEN
HELPED TO JOBS
State Has More Success Than
With One Armed Men, Ac
cording to Reports
' r ' le State Bureau
V\\ % //J °f Employment,
which is a branch
of thc state l^o
- P*rtment of tabor
iPKIC' an(l Industry, has
been more success-
VjfIAQQdK ful In placing one-
V*glmw|*[tiy legged men in jobs
■ s2EIO®3 vlilc- than 't has been
with men who have
SlU—caß* l JinfL but one arm. Dur
|ng the week just
closed positions were found for eight
one-legged men and one man with but
one arm. •
The Bureau, which has been in op
eration several months, was besieged
with applications from manufacturers,
contractors, farmers and others for
labor within a week after it began
business, the time being right in the
midst of the period of Industrial ac
tivity in every line. As Spring came
on, contractors and farmers Increased
their demands for plain labor which
was hard to get. Jn view of this fact
the bureau then began to look around
tor places for men who had special
qualifications or particular infirmities
and was quite successful in finding
Jobs for persons who had been hunt
ing work, but who were rejected be
cause of skill or for physical reasons.
Under this special work came the one
armed and one-legged men.
During April, positions were found
for over 1,000 persons, only twenty
per cent, of whom were laborers, the
rest being skilled. In almost every
instance only a fejv men were placed
at the same plant or in the same
place.
Tile Jitney Cases.—The Public Serv
ice Commission has received but one
or two letters raising any questions
regarding its recently issued regula
tions for operation of jitneys in the
State and it is expected that numerous
applications for certificates of public
convenience will be made before the
remainder of the month. The com
mission will have an executive session
here next Wednesday to discuss the
Jitney applications already on file and
on which hearings have been held.
Six applications are to be heard on
Monday, three being from Schuylkill
county.
.Medical "Exams." Probably the
largest series of examinations ever
arranged by the State Bureau of Med
ical Education and licensure will be
held during July. The examinations
for certificates to practice medicine
and surgery will be held July 11. 12
and 13 at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
and those for drugless therapy, chi
ropodists and others will be held in
the same cities July 11 and 12. The
examinations for State licenses for
masseurs will be held July 12 and 13.
The State Dental Board will hold its
examinations in Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh June 14 to 17.
Sliad Propagation. Every avail
able man in the State Department of
Fisheries service has been put to
work securing eggs for the State's
shad propagation work on the Dela
ware river. It is expected to make
extensive tests with the shad at the
Torresdale hatchery this year. The
taking of shad on the Susquehanna
will be limited this year and will be
started as soon as the Delaware work
is over.
May Test Law. —It is likely that
some tests of the constitutionality of
til a State dog license act of 1915 ap
plying to boroughs and townships may
be started as a result of the determi
nation of the State Agricultural and
Game authorities to call for enforce
ment of the act which requires killing
of unlicensed dogs. In several coun
ties where the commissioners have
declined to enforce the law there is a
disposition to secure a test. It is esti
mated that if the law was enforced
that it would mean the slaughter of
thousands of dogs.
Wide Price Range. Pennsylvania
wheat has been selling at anywhere
from $51.03 to $1.25 In the last six
weeks, the high prices being secured
in Elk county and only a little less in
some of the adjoining districts, while
anthracite and northern tier counties
report $1.20 as the price. Counties in
the Susquehanna and Juniata valleys
report from $1.03 to sl.lO with $1.05
as the low rate in Washington county.
These figures and some interesting
data on potatoes are contained in the
summary of prices from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Potatoes ha?ve a
wider range than wheat, the price in
Snyder county in April being given as
ninety cents, while $1.40 was paid to
farmers in Philadelphit and Delaware
counties. Center, Lebanon, Fulton and
Jefferson paid a dollar a bushel to the
farmers.
.Medical Men Coming. Over 100
medical men identified with industrial
establishments, railroads and public
service in Pennsylvania will attend the
conference on industrial hygiene and
systematic first aid to be held at the
Capitol on May 18. The addresses will
refer to the requirements of medical
and surgical assistance under the com
pensation act, physical examination
of employes, effect of temperature and
similar topics with demonstrations of
puimotors and lungmotors.
Want Police llc!i>. State police
have been asked to shoot dogs which
are running wild and killing sheep in
Washington county, the biggest sheep
raising district in Pennsylvania. Local
constables have not taken up the task
of killing the unlicensed dogs and the
county commissioners have asked
State police to help. However, the
police are all busy in Luzerne county
on strike duty.
Tlie Escheat Act. lt is probable
that a time about June 1 will be fixed
for arguing the escheat act of 1915, in
Which mandamus • proceedings have
been started against the Auditor Gen
eral. The State is preparing to file an
answer denying the allegations.
Coni|>ensation llule. State Com
pensation Referee Paul W. Houck
yesterday at Pottsville, decided two
cases against claimants, Henry Gable,
who claimed compensation from the
Walter Sanitarium for injuries sus
tained while harvesting ice, was un
able to prove to the satisfaction of
the referee that he was injured, the
testimony showing that he had an or
ganic disease. The same fate met the
claim' of Henry Shaw against the
Reading Railway. Shaw claimed he
fell down the' steps of a bridge at
Heading and was injured.
Com|>eii<Miti(>ii Saved. More than
eight hundred working men and wo
men of Pennsylvania were killed and
more than eighty thousand were in
jured in the course of their employ
ment since the workmen's compensa
tion law, passed by the last Legisla
ture, went Into effect January 1, 1916,
according to a statement issued to
day. If these accidents had occurred
before 1916, It is safe to say that in
a great majority of cases the em
ployers would not have been liable
legally for damages because it was
necessary to prove In court, first that
the employer was negligent; second,
that the employe or any fellowrem
ploye was not. negligent, and third that
the employe had not assumed the risk
I of accident.

tack upon the channel steamer Sussex.
Secondly, asked when the United
States would return to the issue with
Great Britain over interference with
trade with the Central Powers, Secre
tary/of State Lansing dictated the fol
lowing statement for publication:
"In view o fthe apparent conditions
imposed in the German note it is dif
ficult. fo rthe United States to proceed
at this time with reference to that
Delay With Britain
It was said that before taking up
the British issue the United States will
wait for time to prove that Germany
did not mean to impose as a condition
of her settlement of the submarine
issue a demand for action by this
government against Great Britain.
How long the United States will
wait until it is satisfied of Germany's
intention upon this point was not
stated. But statements previously
made in official quarters interpreting
the last American note to Germany
were to the effect that when the
United States does again take up the
issue with England It will act along
the line of the so-called Bryan peace
treaty entered Into between the
United States and Great Britain be
fore the outbreak of the war.
Germany's note has complicated the
situation, making it impossible for the
United States to press its demands
upon the allies at once without ap
pearing to do so at. the bidding of
the Berlin Government.

GOVERNOR WILL
CLOSE CAMPAIGN
Speaks Tonight at Scranton
and Will Then Go to Home
For the Primary
Governor Brumbaugh will close his
campaign to-night at a big meeting In
Scranton, arranged by Frederic W.
Fleitz, former Deputy Attorney Gen
eral, who claims that the Governor
will run -strong in the whole anthra
cite region. The Governor loft
Wllkes-Barre this morning and will
visit nearby boroughs before going to
Scranton.
All yesterday was spent in Luzerne
county, the Governor making two
speeches, at Ilasleton and at Wllkes-
Barre, but in neither did he refer to
the charges made against him. In
stead he made his plea for a reunited
party and made references to Roose
velt which were heartily cheered.
Congressman John R. K. Scott, who
traveled with him, said that the Gov
ernor would not stand in the way of
Roosevelt or any good strong man.
All through the speeches of the
Brumbaugh party yesterday there was
a pronounced Roosevelt leaning, which
was well received in Luzerne which is
a Roosevelt stronghold.
Dr. Brumbaugh said he is a candi
date for the Presidency because he
lias a desire to bring all Republicans
together under one banner for party
success in November, ile declared
himself for the election of national
delegates who are "untrammeled, un
bossed, unfettered and free to do the
will of the people of Pennsylvania."
He had not apologies to offer for his
candidacy. He asserted that bv his
every act as Chief Executive of the
State he lias stood for the best Inter
ests of the people generally and he
appealed to his hearers to show that
I hey "had the nerve, the spirt and
the conscience to rise like men and do
their duty."
The Governor's Side
The Governor said that if the Re
publican party is not reunited in No
vember it will be beaten as in 1912,
and he stated "you are beaten before
you start unless all Republicans and
Progressives can get together under
the one banner."
The Governor stood squarely on the
issue of preparedness, saying:
' We should have awakened at the
first tremor of a foreign war to pre
pare to keep permanent peace here.
We should have started (hen to
make our army and navy as strong
as the resources of the nation per
mit."
The Governor asserted that indus
trial preparedness was necessary to
assure industrial strength after the
present war. He said that the present
prosperity of the country is founded
on the misery of the European na
tions and that the strong high tariff
wall of a united "Republican party is
the only assurance of a commercial
salvation after the war. Tie stronglv
criticised the Mexican policy of tlie
present administration.
Through John R. K. Scott, the Gov
ernor pledged himself to withdraw if
the strong- demand of the people at
the Chicago convention was for an
other candidate. Tie said he was for
a united party first, and seltlsh inter
ests afterward.
Chairman Ainey, of the Public Serv
ice Commission, declared that the day
had passed when "one distinguished
gentleman can call himself the boss
of the party." He referred to Gover
nor Brumbaugh as a candidate with
unselfish interest whose only purpose
was to reunite the party and bring
about a return of Republican rule in
November.
The Penrose End
The Penrose end of the campaign
was upheld in Pittsburgh by Mayor
Armstrong at ward meetings over the

to post up slanders all over the city,
and I intend to speak my mind. These

men by the compahv they keep. T

me for national delegate because he
knows me or because of anything I
may have done for him. The issue is
clear. It is Brumbaugh or Penrose.
Do you want as your leader a man of
experience who knows the business of
our State and of the Nation, or the
theorist, the schoolmaster, who is run
ning a lot of candidates for delegate
who, if they go to the national con
tention, will go pledged and
shackled?"
