Organized Year Ago A year ago next Tuesday the Wil liam Penn Highway Association was organized at a meeting in Fahnestoclc Hall attended by delegatess from va rious central-tlter counties of Penn sylvania. Headquarters were opened in Harrisburg last June by M. H. James, the secretary. Since that time the membership has grown so that to-day the William Penn Highway Association has more bonafide mem bers than any other rood promoting organization in any State in the Union. Tho first of this year saw publication started of a monthly magazine called the "Bulletin of the William Penn Highway," which goes to all members of the association and to a largo out side mailing list. The Association has inaugurated a touring bureau from which its members can secure any in formation desired. A great many agri culturists are included among mem bers of the association: and In this connection it is interesting, to know that a third of all the automobiles owned by Pennsylvania farmers are In counties along the William Penn Highway, as well as half the total number of automobiles in Pennsyl vania. "La Bella Napoli" of Gay Deys Before the War Has Ceased to Be Naples, March 2ji. "La Bella Napoli" of the days before the war has ceased to be. The tourist hotels along the watcr-l'ront and on the heightb overlooking- the crescent of the buy are virtually empty. Many have boarded up their windows and gene out of business entirely. The army of guides, interpreters, hotel runners and money changers has become an army of soldiers, scaling the moun tains of the Carso hundreds of miics to the north, where eternal snow re places the eternal sun of southern Italy. The quays are deserted. When a year ago 260 ships were plying be tween Naples and the United States with a tonnage of 1,300,000, there now are eleven, with a total of less than (JO,OOO tons. Of ten companies, not counting the German and Austrian ones, running 37 trans-Atlantic pas senger ships, one Italian line now runs the boats, one British line two, and a French line one. That is all. Before the war, the traveler to America had a choice of some tiO ships from Naples; to-day he has choice of live. Passenger rates have gone up, but as there are virtually no lirst and second class passengers tho increase makes little difference to the steamship companies, because the steerage rates are about the same. I Seldom does one now see curtains of drying spaghetti screening the nar row ways between the houses in Naples. There is a scarcity of food. Thursday and Friday of every week are "meatless days," when no meat be purchased or sold in restaur ants, and the Neapolitan Is forced to live on fish, macaroni, rice or more vegetables. Friday, Saturday and Sunday of every week are "sweetle&s days" when • neither sugar nor cakes of any kind can be served, at least in public. Every day is a butterless day, and even cream is a rarity en tirely out of reach of anyone but tho most luxurious. In Naples SO per cent, of the in habitants lived directly or indirectly by the sea, or by the tourists the sea brings them. There are no more tourists, and the activities directly connected with shipping have so fallen off as to leave 80 per cent, of the Neapolitans in a bad way. In the bay of Naples, no more boys dive for pennies. The raucousrvoiced postcard sellers now listen to the sterner voice of a drill sergeant up any one of the side streets in the newer quarters of the town, where rudimentary military training goes on constantly. There are plenty of men in Naples, as in all of Italy, but almost all in uniform bersaglieri, with their cock-feathered hals and hob-nailed boots, tripolini, with red. rimless caps from which blue tassels hang by a long string, offlceis w-ith capes thrown over their should er's like Spanish grandees and swag gering carabinleri, the terror of evil I doers. The system seems to be to call | one class after another, brush up their military training, then give them leave of absence, thus keeping them under martial law and subject to military orders. GIRLS IN SUICIDE PACT KILL EACH OTHER [Continued From First Page] had occupied Wednesday night and Thursday, indicated that they had agreed to commit suicide together. Miss Spalding was 18 years of age and Miss Stanton was .22. The girls came here Wednesday. After a night and a day spent at the hotel where Miss Stanton had registered in her own name and Miss Spalding as "Rose King," they went to the cafe for din ner. They spent more than two hours over the meal, prolonging it by re peated calls for black coffee. Just before 11 o'clock the waiters and the few remaining diners heard two shots. They rushed to the booth where the girls had been seated and found Miss Stanton dead, lying half across the table. Miss Spalding lay on ithe floor unconscious and died shortly j afterwards. Each girl had a bullet I wound in the temple. Miss Stanton's fingers were closed about a .32-callbre revolver. Were Close Friends The police express the opinion that each girl held a revolver at the other's head and fired. The note found in the girls' room was addressed to Miss Spalding's mother. Througli inquiries made at her home in Newton it was learned that Margaret Spalding was a graduate of the Newton High School, where she had been a prominent bas ketball and hookey player. Since last fall she had been a teacher-pupil in the gymnasium department of the Garland School, in Boston. Miss Stanton was a pupil at this school until two weeks ago, when she began studies at the Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Mass. The young women had been close friends for some time. No definite reason was given in the note for the girls' act. It said they had decided it was better that they should die and asked their parents not to be grief-stricken because "they would all be happy and peaceful when reunited in a better world." TO ADDRESS ACADEMY Dr. Arthur Shipley, of the Univer- I sity of Maryland, will address the members of the Harrisburg Academy of Medicine to-night on "Minor Sur- ! gery as It Pertains to the General Practitioner." The meeting will be I held in the Academy building, 319 I North Second street, at 8.30 o'clock. BASEBALL, WAR Oil ISO WAR Brunswick, Ga.. March 23.—A decla ration of war will not Interfere with the plans of the American League for the 1917 season, President Ban B. John son said yesterday. "The American League will open Its championship race according to sched ule," said Johnson. "We can make no departure at this late date." FORMER CZAR IS CAPTIVE IN PALACE [Continued l>om First Page] branch line outside Alexandrovsky I'ark. On leaving the train Nicholas entered an automobile, accompanied by his adjutant, Prince Dolgoroukoff, the only courtier of the first rank who ac companied him, and by the four Duma commissioners. They were driven to tho palace. Holds Himself Greet Nicholas was met at the door In the left wing of the palace by Count Benckendorff, who was his marshal of the court and is now under arrest. The former ruler held himself erect, look ing calm and indifferent, although he stepped from the automobile with nerv ous haste. A battalion of the First Rifle Guard regiment was at the rail road depot. The commander at Tsar skoe-Selo is /Colonel Ivobuillnsky, for merly commander of the Petrogradsky regiment, stationed in peace time at Warsaw. To him the Duma commis sioners announced: "Our mission of handing over the Emperor is finished. We now go to Petrograd to announce this fact to the Duma." The correspondent drove to the old Tsarskoe-Selo palace, which is entirely deserted and without guards, and then to the new palace where the former im- How Russian Revolt Will Help Allies Win the War The crucible of war has produced the Rusian revolution, and others are apparently ex pected by observers who note that the peoples of all the belligerent nations are taking stock of their ruler with a clear-eyed vision induced by the stern reality of suffering and death. "The Russian people," says Russkoye Slovo (New York), "are opposed to war and to militarism, but they believe that their own success as revolutionists will mean revolution on the part of the Germanic peoples.' Then they hope and believe there will come a consolidation of all the revolutionary peoples, Russian and Germanic, a combination that by its very force and weight will compel the militarists of Europe's warring nations to cease their strife. And so, out of revolution will come the great peace. You should read THE LITERARY DIGEST for March 24th to form an accurate opinion of the cause and result of the Russian Revolution, and the effect it will have in deciding the fortunes of war for the Entente Allies. Other features in this number of immediate and pressing interest to the American people are: Arming American Ships with American Guns and Gunners The Record of Public Opinion in America and Germany is Graphically Expressed in This Article Both Sides of the Railway Fight Germany's Loss in Bagdad The Extent of Hunger In Europe Costa Rica's "Coup D'Etat" Effects of Germany's Retreat on the Somme Electrical Treatment of Wounds The Red Cross "Dogs of War" Germany Flirting With the Orient The Naval Smoke-Screen Floating Safes for Ships Who Writes American Plays?

The palace lies in a large park which is surround ed by a plain spiked fence five feet high, coated with silver paint.

The first noticeable sign of the revo lution was that no Imperial standard lloatcd frdm tho roof. OCNertcil by I'coplc Within the park over the broad ex panse of snow, not a single person was visible. Apparently there were no guards within the park, hut outside the fence, every fifty yards along the road way were double sentries from the Petrogradsky regiment, in long blue coats, with fixed bayonets. Astonishing circumstances in view of the attitude of Nicholas toward the population of Tsarskoe-Selo which lived entirely upon imperial favor, was the lack of public Interest. During a drive of three miles along the palace fence the correspondent saw no civilians and with the exception of the guards none but two of the gigantic black-bearded Caucasians of the famous "Convoy of His Majesty" who though now fallen from favor, and destined to be sent as soldiers to the front, were allowed to peer through the fence. In regard to the conditions under which Nicholas was being held in the palace, officers declared they knew nothing. Concerning Alexandra . and other members of the family the fol lowing information was given: ! "All the live children are in bed with I the measles, for which reason Alexan dra has not been outside the palace 1 walla for two days.
