Twenty-live thousand, eight hun
dred and seventy men in Dauphin
county, can answer a call to arms'
from President Wilson, if given, ac
cording to figures announced by the
County Commissioners' office.
Although some of the men would
probably be exempted because of phy
sical disability, a large majority could
be called to service. In Harrisburg
there are 13,835; and in the town
ships of the county, 12,035.
Steelton would furnish 2,899; Mid
dletown, 852; Susquehanna town
ship, 1,187; Swatara township, 808;
and Rush township, the smallest
number, 12. Harrlsburg's number llst

Men, to protect bridges, manufac
turing plants and other property
which might be damaged by German
sympathizers, can be deputized by'
Sheriff W. W. Caldwell, should this 1
eventually become necessary. It is not
expected that this will be necessary,
howevei;, as the State troops would
probably be called first.

GUARDSMEN ARE
COMING HERE TO
PROTECT BRIDGES
Reports reached Harrisburg to-day
\
that Company M, of Third Regiment
National Guard, would arrive here to
day to guard the railroad bridges. It
is the soldiers will be placed on
duty at Rockville, and on the Cum
berland Valley railroad bridge.
While Captain of Police Paul L.
Barclay, of the Philadelphia division,
Pennsylvania railroad, admitted that
soldiers would be assigned to duty
on all bridges, he was not in a posi
tion to say what companies would be
placed on duty in Harrisburg and
vicinity. Captain Barclay said it
would require more than a regiment
to take care of the Philadelphia divi
sion, property.
In addition to the soldiers there will
be 250 special railroad officers on
guard at shops, stations and railroad
terminals. Of this number 115 will
be regular men now on duty. The
new men are being detailed from shop
employes, clerical forces and other
departments. The mj|n will be select
ed according to their ability. Lucknow
shops will furniah 50 men.
The men will be assigned to special
duty between Marysville and Fifty
second street, Philadelphia. They will
be provided with quarters. Where it
is possible the shops will be used as
barracks. At some points commissary
and sleeping cars will be located. The
cots and equipment provided some
time ago when a' strike was feared
will be used in the barracks and at
stations.
In addition to this extra police force
a regiment of soldiers will be assign
ed to duty on the Philadelphia divi
sion. Reports to-day said the First
regiment would be sent as guards for
Pennsylvania railroad property. Tl.is
Is not official. Captain Barclay was
of the opinion that soldiers outside of
Pennsylvania would do guard duty
here.
BRIDGE GUARD
EXCHANGES SHOTS
WITH THREE MEN
Early this morning one of the
watchmen on the Cumberland Valley
bridge was shot at by three men whom
he had accosted for loitering under the
bridge at Island Park. The guard ex
changed shots with them and sent for
a detachment of police who scoured
the Island but could discover no one.
The guard noticed three men loiter
ing and acting suspiciously near the
base of one of the piers. He accosted
thein and demanded to know their
business. Te reply was a single shot
out of the dark that sent a bullet Hy
ing periously close to his head. The
guard immediately opened tire on the
already tleeing men but was unable to
stop them.
Rusli Police From City
He then hurried to the tower and
phoned for aid. Another man was sent
to his assistance and an appeal made
to the locul police department. A spe
cial detachment of police and plain
clothes men were sent to investigate
the case but could discover no one.
Crossed in Boat
It is believed that the men landed
In a boat and made good their escape
by the same method. No suspicious
looking men were noticed passing the
tollgates at either end of the bridge.
A special detachment of the rail
road police are investigating the case
to-day. The bridge has been guarded
night and day for some weeks. Armed
guards will be Increased to prevent a
reoccurrence of last night's shooting
bout. As one of the guards said to
day, "the next time some one tries a
similar stunt we will have some
tangible evidence, living or dead for
you to work on."
CRIES FOR PEACE
AND WAR RESOUND
IN WASHINGTON
By Associated Prtss
.Washington, April 2.—Pacifists and
anti-pacifist pilgrims besieged official
Washington to-day in an eleventh
hour effort to Influence Congress to
ward their respective views of impend
ing war with Germany. Street parad
ing was denied both by police orders,
but the program of each called for un
organized sidewalk processions to the
capitol, where Senators and Repre
sentatives might be canvassed for their
peace or war ideas.
Simultaneously thousands of tele
grams from all parts of the country
poured in upon the Capitol and White
Mouse either praying for peace or urg
ing drastic action to uphold American
rights and honor.
Flags floated from nearly every win
dow In downtown Washington, from
houses in the residential sections and
all automobiles carried red, white and
blue banners. Men and women wore
flags on their coats and children car
ried them to school. The day was
marked by a show of patriotic fervor
seldom equaled in Washington, even
on Independence Day.
Pacifists Meet
Most pacifists came here from New
York and other cities under the direc
tion of the Emergency Peace Federa
tion. They arranged a meeting this
afternoon to act on resolutions and
petitions and a mass meeting for to
night. The anti-pacifists, calling
themselves "pilgrims of patriotism,"
came from a number of Eastern cities,
marshalled by a New York citizen's
committee' to neutralize the effect of
the anti-war forces.
The delegations of pacifists as
sembled at headquarters of the Emerg
ency Peace Federation and were fur
nished with white arm bands bearing
in large black letters the inscription
"Keep Out ot War."
They were supplied also with cards
to admit them to the business and
mass meetings and the city addresses
of their Senators and Representatives.
The delegates were instructed to spend
the morning calling upon thelr legisla
tive representatives and urging them
to take no actlpn that would lead to
hostilities.
Militants Active
Anti-pacifists said they too would be
at trie Capitol whenever the pacifists
planned to be there. They had instruc
tions similar to those at the pacifists
and long before tne time set for the
opening of Congress the telephone
bells of Senators and Representatives
in their homes and at their offices
were tinkling with calls from both fac
tions.
Louis P. Lockner was directing the
activities of the pacifists.
"If we should fail to prevent war,"
he said, "we will continue to work for
peace just as certain people on land
have done all during this war in
Europe."
David Starr Jordan, president of Ice
land Stanford University and one of *
the leading pacifists, made an effort
to see President Wilson this morning
but the President was busy.
About 1,000 of the pacifists assemb
led on the steps of the main entrance
at the Capitol and became so active
that sequads of police drove them to .
the broad plaza while small delega
tions of the pilgrims jeered and hoot
ed. The pacifists shouted replies and
there was no mistaking foreign ac
counts in the words of some of the
shouters. There were a few clashes
between the two parties but nothing
In the nature of serious fighting or dis
order.
Pacifists Arc Unruly
Some of those in the crowd persist
ed in breaking through the police llneg
and mounting the steps. Police re
serves were called and the pacifists
were forced back a considerable dis
tance on the plaza. Then some of
them began to leave. One or two
were seen to remove their arm bands
and "we want peace—Pennsylvania"
sashes and stuff them In their pocket?
before departing. Four or five hun
dred, however, remained. The police
in the Capittol grounds kept all per
sons wearing pacifist Insignia on the
move.
Delegations of pacifists held "war
protest" meetings in their respective
senator's offices.
One such delegation was rebuked
by Senator Wadsworth when one of
several speakers said America had
been a "false friend" to Germany.
"That's calling my country a pretty
harsh name; 1 don't care to hear any
more of It." asfd Wadsworth In ter
minating the Interview.
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, Indig
nant over arguments of an Ohio paci
fist delegation visiting him, told them:
"You are the beat allies the kaiser
has."
