CONGRESS WILL
PASS ON ORDER
TO ARM SHIPS
Extra Session Will Take Up
Neutrality Measure on Con
vening Next Month
By Associated Press
Washington, March 10.—Uncertain
ty felt about the Capitol for the last
week over an early session of Congress
was replaced to-day by preparations
for the special session called by Pres
ident Wilson for April 16, five weeks
from Monday, to consider appropria
tion bills and other important meas
ures on which final action was not
taken before adjournment of the Six
ty-fourth Congress last Sunday.
The new body probably will be ask
ed to consider the armed neutrality
bill specifically authorizing President
Wilson to arm American ships and
appropriating funds for the purpose,
despite the President's decision yes
terday that he already has executive
power to put navy guns, gunners and
ammunition aboard merchantmen.
Organization in Doubt
The organization of the new House
cannot be told at this time, for a
majority is 2IS, and the standing is.
Republicans, 215; Democrats, -14,
Prohibition-Progressive, Progressive-
Protectionist, Socialist and Independ
ent, one each; vacancy In Democratic
district, one. Both Republican and
Democratic leaders declare they will
have support from enough of the so
called Independent group to control
the organization. The new Senate is
Democratic by a majority of 1-.
May Sit Eighteen Months
Speaker Clark believes Congress will
find so much work before it that it
will continue in session until August,
1918.
Appropriation legislation which
must be passed before July 1 Include
the army, sundry civil bill, general
deficiency and military academy bills,
carrying in the aggregate more than
$500,000,000. Among the measures
which failed in the last Congress,
strongly urged by the administration,
are the railroad labor bill, Webb for
eign selling agency bill, conservation
and land leasing measures, and acts
to enlarge the Interstate Commerce
Commission and give wider powers to
the shipping board.
British Tommies Snug
Under Gigantic Bit
of Buried Stovepipe
By Associated Press
Toronto, March 10.—A recent Inven
tion adding to the comfort of the Brit
ish and Canadian field forces at the
French front is described in a dispatch
received here to-day from London. It
is known as the "issen hut"—a semi
circular shelter with the appearance ot
a gigantic bit of stovepipe that is
buried in the earth and containing
doors and windows. There is room for
25 men in each. A thousand of these
huts are under order. The convenience
of transportation and the speed with
which they can be erected enable men
hitherto forced to sleep in the open
during an advance to obtain shelter.
Already the hut is the subject of an
army song, "Put Me in My Little Nis
son Bed."
Ice Pack at Steelton
Breaks, Causing River
to Fall Considerable
The State Water Supply Commlslon
to-day reported that the gauge height
of the river at Harrisburg fell 1.25
feet since yesterday afternoon. The
fall Is due to the ice pack at the lower
end of Steelton. breaking away and re
packing lower down stream, causing
additional back water at localities be
low Steelton. At Highspire the water
surface rose. 2.5 feet since yesterday,
while at Middletown the water was 1.2
feet higher than it was yesterday.
The surface of the river at the York
Haven Power Company in the fore
bay had risen .3 of a foot while the
water at the tall race was half a
foot higher than yesterday afternoon.
The condition of the river at Bain
bridge, Billmyer and Marietta is re
ported as the same, although the wa
ter has gradually been rising.
The weather conditions of the last
few days has been most favorable to
the Ice conditions and movements on
the river. The ice has gradually soft
ened and loosened along the shore
lines, which will be materially advan
tageous to its movements and sufficient
flow caused a general break up. Slight
increased flow has occurred on the
North and West branches and a rise
of about half a foot has been reported
on the Juniata at Newport early this
morning.

One hundred and twenty-three the

Prof. Noyes Thrills Big
Crowd With His Poems
Those who were fortunate enough
to find standing room in Fahnestock
Hall yesterday afternoon were thrilled
by the poet. Prof. Alfred Noyes. Here I
was to appear one of the world's great
est poets and men of letters to read
choice bits of his work, and that Har
rlsburg's cultured meant to see and
hear was evidenced by the crowd that
tilled the hall long before 4 o'clock,
flowed out' into the corridor and down
the steps to the street.
Professor Noyes gripped his audi
ence from the moment he was intro
duced by the Rev. Lewis S. Mudge, pas
tor of Pine Street Presbyterian Church,
and held them, enthused, expectant,—
on edge, as it were, —until he walked
off the platform.
The poet's versatility was an out
standing feature of the afternoon's
reading. One moment the audience be
held the horrors of war, the next, the
beauty of a May day. "The Admiral's
Ghost," the theme having been sug
gested by the daring Drake, was Pro
fessor Noyes' first reading. The traw
ler's work, In guarding the coast of
England from the ravages of the Ü
boats, was graphically portrayed in two
readings of virile rhythm.
"Forty Singing Seamen," one of the
poet's best, was given with the en
thusiasm and exuberance of youth. The
applause that greeted its rendition was
deafening. Had not Dr. John Grier
Hibben, President of Princeton Unl
verstly, who was on the platform, re
quested Mr. Noyes to recite the lively
1 doings of this band of happy seamen
the audience would have been denied
the rich treat.
| Professor Noyes included among his
readings "The Lord of Misrule," "The
Highway Man," "Salt Water," "Watch
for Me by the Moonlight" and "Origin
of Life."
Professor Noyes, in prefacing his
reading of one of the poems on the
trawlers guarding the English coas*
against the submarines, stated that for
every six boats sunk by German sub
marines, one is destroyed by these
trawlers. He expressed the opinion
that th next two .months would see
the end of the ruthless U-boat cam
paign.
The lecture was delivered under the
auspices of the Princeton Alumni As
sociation of Central Pennsylvania.

of the Hetail Merchants' Bureau of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce had
decided not to hold a window dressing
contest in connection with the spring
uniform opening beginning next Wed

put one "over" anyhow and get th<j
people.
That is tile spirit of to-operatlon be
ing demonstrated among the retailers

history there is to be a uniform open
ing for the city at large, and the men
in tlie outskirts are just as interested
as the merchants in the down-town re

with the big fellows. Kugene M. Sl
ble, at Thirteenth and Market streets,
is putting his best foot forward and
working with his fellowmerchants for
a big display that will show the folks,
in his section what can be done. It's
to be a real city-wide opening. '

their windows will attract large and
curious crowds that they insisted that
officers ot the Chamber of Commerce

keep automobiles from running down
their prospective customers, who will
just be out looking on Wednesday
evening. The stores incidentally will
not be open on that evening, but the
new spring goods, be it gum shoes, a
party dress or a pack of imported
spring tea, will be on sale the follow
ing three days, March 15, 16 and 17.
