6 EMPLOYES OF BOWMAN & COMPANY'S HARRISBURG AND CARLISLE STORES WHO BOWMAN PICNIC AT GOOD HOPE MILLS IS DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR Bowman and Company held their annual picnic at Good Hope Mills, the store being closed all day. Good Hope Mills, with the picnic grounds adjoin ing. are owned by the Bowmans who have developed the land for picnic purposes and in the course of the sum mer will erect a large pavilion there on th« top of a knoll that overlooks the Conodoguinet creek. Everybody connected with the store and many of their friends were on hand, from the founder of the firm down to the smallest office boy. Joe Wallaxz, the financial expert, went to see that the financial rating of the store was kept intact, joe had his mother-in-law and his daughter along. Both appeared to be about the same age—say eighteen years—and J. Wil liam Bowman was heard to remark that Wallazz shows the same good judgment in picking his relatives as he does in business. Harry Bowman had charge of the commissary and it was "some commissary." The Loys ville band provided the music, the boys having been entertained by the various members of the firm at their homes the nifht previous, and delight ed everybody with their skillful rendi tions of difficult numbers. The Vic toria theater management took pic tures of everything worth while and the large number of pretty girls and handsome young men kept the camera artist busy buzzing the crank all day. Yes, the reels, bathing pictures and all, will be on display next Friday, j Arthur H. Hollis was caterer and the dinner was a real Harrisburg blub af fair. Those Cakes But the biggest thing on the picnic ! grounds was the cake table —literally ' as well as figuratively. They were all baked by employes of the firm, 175 of; them, and the committee gladly risked acute indigestion in the duty of tasting them all. Then they found that they ! were so good that the tasting all had to be done over again. Unquestionably! the best cake baked was that of Miss Alice Musgrove, but as she happened to have been designated as head of the ! cake committee she modestly declined . to be considered. So the prizes were' awarded as follows Most novel cake, Miss Florence Eckenrode. of Carlisle: \ prize a cut glass basket; angel food cake. Miss Gertie Stouffer, prize, lace collar; ginger bread. Miss Blanche Scheaffer, of Carlisle, prize. tourist towels; pound cake, Mrs. Purdy, prize, i boudoir cap; devil's food. Miss Jean-' ette Wallace, prize, pair of silk hose.

Ejectment Case Involving Hos telries Hinges on 3-inch Strip of Ground Issue to-day of a writ of ejectment against Joseph Armento, proprietor of the State Capital Hotel, by John Russ. proprietor of "The Antlers' " Hotel, may or may not mark the settlement of a peculiar suit which has attracted the curious attention of realty men. con tractors and lawyers for a couple of years. A triangular strip of ground three ana a half inches wide is the cause of the dispute. Armento's hotel fronts on Walnut street and the rear windows of his property overlook the yard of Russ' property. The Russ hotel fronts on Strawberry street. The rear line of the two properties is the cause of the dis pute. Russ claimed that the rear wall of the State Capital Hotel was built on a diagonal line upon his land. The wall, he contended, extended over a triangu lar strip three and a half Inches wide at one side and tapering to nothing at the other side. The strip extends the full frontage of the Armento property, twenty-three and a half feet. Frequent efforts had been made to settle the question of ownership, and, it Is said, that an agreement had prac ticallv been completed whereby Ar mento had agreed to pay several hun dred dollars for the additional. Russ. however, wanted tho State Capital win dows overlooking his yard to be board ed up. and the refusal of Armento to comply with this request, it is said, led to the courts. A Dauphin County Com mon Pleas jury decided that Russ was the rightful owner of the property. If the jury's verdict is actually car ried out, realty men, contractors and lawyers declare. Armento will undoubt edly be compelled to move his rear wall from the Russ property, as he is by law a trespasser. This would mean that the rear wall of the State Capital Hotel will have to be torn down. Try Telegraph Want Ads SATURDAY EVENING, | The Misses Mario Clipper, Archer, J Doener, McCoy, Sheafter.

Duke De Rehan, I member of the Chamber of Deputies i from the Department of Morblhan. died 1 yesterday in a hospital at the front from wounds received on the preced '. n JS d *>\ in the battle of the Somme. After being wounded before Verdun he received the cross of the Legion of Honor RULES GUARDSMEN NOT UNDER DRAFT Judge Advocate Finds That U. S. Oath Does Not Obviate State Control Washington. July 15.—With thous ands of National Guardsmen already on the border doing patrol duty and addi tional thousands ordered to the border it was disclosed that the men who have taken the oath did not enter the federal army thereby, are not subject I to the provisions of the Hay-Chamber lain national defense act and are still controlled only by the terms of their enlistment In the guard as a State or- j ganization. Further Complication* An opinion to this effect has been handed to President Wilson by. Secre- 1 tary of War Baker, based upon an In- ' vestlgatlon of the National Guard situ ation by General E. H. Crowdor, the Judge advocate general of the army. The judge advocate general' opinion served to complicate further the al- ! ready much muddled up mobilization of tne National Guard. The first step which should be taken to straighten out I conditions on the border and in the , mobilisation camps bo that there could ! be no question between State and Fed eral control, according to Genera! Crowder, is for the President to draft the guardsmen into the federal serv- ; •ce in accordance with the terms of the Hay-Chamberlain draft resolution which became effective on July 1 Although President Wilson urged Congress to pass a resolution empow- i ering him to draft the National Guard 1 into the federal service for a period of < three years and Congress yielded to! his wish, he has not yet made the draft. ! According to prominent officials of the I administration, the president lias de- ! cided not to make such a draft now. Conditions May Change Thre Is a possibility that conditions J 1 .5, 00 change, necessitating the draft in order that the army may be sent across the line to resist possible I invasion or to meet the enemy Also faiYure of & draft may result In earlier relief for the Guardsmen who are being forced region camp worlc ln a tropical Administration officials admitted to « th ®v. storr"5 torr " of criticism against the methods of mobilizing the National Guard was Increasing in pro- ! portions and the President might see hirlf iom« to w lt or ? ert hsr the guard back home.

"Thanks to this feeling of good will," 1 the First Chief continued, "we will be i able to avoid war. War Is something I do not desire, but if there were no oth er remedy for the situation 1 would enter upon It." General Carranza refused to discuss ; the situation as It relates to the pos sible action of President Wilson or of the Latin-American nations which of (fered to mediate. Within short time, j the First Chief said, there would be in | corporated In the Constitution of Mexi co all the reforms which now find a ! place In the program of the Constltu i tionalists. In a large measure, he de clared. some of these reforms already are in operation, and there remains only their incorporation In the fundamental laws of the country. As to the holding of a presidential election. General Carranza said that It would take place as soon as the work of reconstructing the constitution had been completed and when the country I was completely at peace. The de facto Government, the First Chief asserted, will pass a law of amnesty so that all Mexicans who have i left the country for one reason or another can return if they desire. Such a law will not be promulgated until the government is on a firm basis, because among some of the Mexicans now liv ing abroad there are those who would , return to conduct agitations and dis- I turb labor conditions. "As for myself personally, I do not care," General Carranza declared, "but I do care on account of the government find the country. The work of bringing about the political reconduction of Mexico le most difficult and must be carried forward under peaceful condl i tlons. Let those Mexicans who are dls- I turbers stay where they are until such I , time as the country has a constltu i tlon and a government. Then they can return and work." 52,000 Guardsmen From East Now Along Border New York, July 15.—Fifty-two thousand National Guardsmen from the Department of the East are now at the Mexican border or approaching the border.

HAIG PUSHING GERMANS BACK TO THIRD LINE [Continued From First Page] Bazentln-le-Petit, Bazenttn -le - Grand and Longueval. At this hour to-night it appears that there is only one point in these German trenches where the machine guns have not been put out of action and demolished completely. Lacked Organization For a space of 200 yards the British swept past a section of the trench where the Germans, refusing to yield, held out desperately for some time in a fashion characteristic of the fighting on the Somme. Some of the prisoners taken to-day belonged to a battalion from different divisions rush'id to the scene since July 1. They seemed to lack "the usual efficient organization. Where the British found the going Kood they carried their attack beyond the second line, taking guns and more prisoners and teeklng to gain higher points on the ridge. Against th%se ad vance parties the Germans began to develop stronger resistance. The success of the morning has won for the British a depth of three or four miles of terrain since July 1. This means also commanding British po sitions which obviously conform the German line in the Thiepval sector into a bad salient. Virtually all the objectives were cap tured to-day In less than an hour. Two German colonels and a regimental staff and other prisoners found themselves in British hands before daylight had fairly broken.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED AT CAMP Probability That State Will Have to Spend Money For Roads and Water Soon It is probable that demands will bo made that Pennsylvania's State au thorities take steps to Improve not only roads but other conditions at the Mt. Gretna mobilization camp before the proposed camp for recruits is made permanent. The tentage ship ped from the State arsenal last night to provide a camp for the recruits which It is expected will be sent there was explained to-day by Adjutant Gen eral Stewart as an advance move. The adjutant general insisted that nothing had been determined about the way the recruiting was to be handled. It is known that there were severe criticisms made of the roads within the camp site before the Governor gave the order to proceed with work and that the lack of any roads worthy the name affording communication be tween the brigade camps was noted (and will probably be heard from be jfore long. Another matter which has been heard of at Washington is the water supply. There were times dur ing the recent mobilization when the water supply was not adequate and tha lack of a duplicate plant in the event of a break in the existing plant is a matter of considerable comment. • There have been other things, too. ; The policy of the State regarding its ! military establishment has been criti- I cisod from time to time as parsimon ious, but It seems to be best exe.rn.pli. fled at Mt- Gretna.
