AID FOR WAR STARVING IS DISAPPOINTING [Continued From First Page] ! exclude American relief supplies from I Poland and Serbia. Turkey, in a note refusing to permit a neutral commis sion to undertake to feed and clothe the war sufferers in Syria, apparently has endeavored to forestall any further humanitarian efforts in that quarter. Nothing Can Be Bone At the same time officials are con fronted with a deadlock in the negotiations for permission to pass blockade lines into Germany and Austria and there have been intima- Red Cross supplies through the allied tions that Belgium, now fed and 1 clothed almost wholly by American I charity, soon might feel the weight |of new restrictions dictated by the ! military necessities of the great pow ' ers whose armies occupy her soil. Officials realize that as a general : principle regulations of such character [lie almost entirely within the preroga tive of the warring States and have (made their appeals on the higher [ground of humanity. If all that the! ! law permits is to be enacted, however, j they see nothing that can be done. Gloomy as the outlook is, officials i have not abandoned hope that a more j humane view may eventually be im i pressed upon the belligerents. No European ruler has responded so far ! to the personal appeal made to them by President Wilson foi* permission to aid Poland, and their responses may i at least offer encouragement for con 'i tinuing the negotiations. The rep* resentations to Turkey will be re newed by Ambassador Elkus, probably next week. 80,000 Have Died From Starvation in Syria By Associated Press London, Aug. 12.—A Times cor ; respondent back from Syria writes concerning conditions there: "The state of the people of Syria is past all belief. It is estimated that from 60,000 to SO,OOO have died from | starvation in Northern Syria. The : Turks are proceeding with great ! thoroughness in removing large sec tions of the population and in some j vilayets there are no Arabic-speaking I Christians left. "The epidemic of typhus is gaining everywhere and a great many Turkish : I army doctors have succumbed. Many civilian prisoners, mostly British, also have contracted typhus. One great difficulty in a systematic fight against j the epidemic is the great scarcity of, drugs and antiseptics. The Germans have taken careful precautions, but the disease Is gaining."

It was Miller that got him his first stay by telephon ing his belief to influential men and women in New Vork City that Stielow was not the criminal In the case. Miller, a tall, well looking, ruddy faced, ruddy-haired young man, went to Stielow s cell, and he took care to snnle that he nnght let the death in mate know that he was the bearer J of good news. Strives Not to Show His Emotion This is the actual conversation that occurred. Miller admits he was highly stirred and that he talked in a manner to hold back his own emotions—in a way that he didn't expect Stielow to I see the humor. He said: } "Stielow, you might be interested to know that Irving King has confessed." [ Stielow peerei out of his cell door and said heavily: "He did?" "Yes, he did," said Miller, and added that apparently he was more moved | than the man to which this news | meant life. "That's Fine," He Repeats So when Mr. Miller took the big | news to this big man whose mind is j that of a child he just wagged his head and said: "That's—that's fine." I But he did not realize U.e fullness |of the information. He stared at Warden Osborne and at fe'pencer j Miller and wag<red his head and re peated: "That's fine?" And then, .to the astonishment of I the two men who with nods and I smiles were offering him the assur onco that he was not to die, he wept. The first time he actually bawled— |as a big baby might. He smothered j that, however, and choked while his eyes went on dropping tears. Confessor Says He Joined Another to Rob, but That Latter Killed Couple Little Valley, N. Y„ Aug. 12.—Irving King, the itinerant junk dealer and peddler, in the Cattaraugus county Jail hero for complicity In robbing and shooting A. H.

Miss Margaret iWolcott, near West Shelby, Orleans [county. March 2i. 1915.

TRAVEL IS HEAVY ON PENN HIGHWAY [Continued l'lorn lust l'agej than at any time this summer, and greater this summer than since the automobile came Into general use. East-west travel over the William Penn Highway is growing heavier daily, and is expected to reach. 1916's high water mark in October, admit tedly the greatest touring month of them all. Local William Penn Highway head quarters have been besieged for tour ing information for some time. Not until this association began publicizing the Central Pennsylvania Highway was it generally known tliat the road between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia was in excellent condition throughout. Route books and maps, no matter by whom issued, have given the central route scant consideration. While some of the guides contain the high way routing from Central Pennsyl vania localities *• Philadelphia not one of them contains the Information that travel on the "old northern pike" is enjoyable all the way from the Ohio line to Philadelphia. The William Penn people are now about to issue a map containing running directions for autoists and marketing informa tion for farmers. This will show the Penn way with laterals In every county, and roads leading to every section of this and bordering States. Doiiahcy to Come Here J. W. Donahey of Pittsburgh, Alle gheny county governor for the William Penn Highway, is expected in Har rlsburg Friday or Saturday on his way home from Atlantic City where he has spent the last week. Mr. Donahey is routing what is to be known as "The Keystone Tour," which will be gin and end at either Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, and will take tourists through the State's prettiest scenery. The William Penn Highway will be part of this tour, and a two or three day schedule will be prepared. It is possible of course, to make this Wil liam Penn journey In a single day, but real pleasure seekers will take two or three days. Harrlsburg will be a night control, no matter whether two or throe days are given the William Penn. The entire tour will consume four or five days, and Mr. Donahey said the other day that with a day at Gettysburg and a day in Phila delphia an entire week may be given over to the trip. That William Penn travel is grow ing heavier as time passes is evidenced by the fact that on Sunday four weeks ago in Ebensburg. Cambria county, 178 cars pasesd through the town tn 180 minutes, while last Sunday 20? cars were counted on the highway in 180 minutes. Local offices of the William Penn Highway will after this week be able to give Jiositive information regarding the road in any locality, inasmuch as officials in each county will report each Monday the progress made In new work, the stretches demanding attention, the weather conditions and other things of this sort.
