GERMAN PRESS IS BITTER OVER WAR President Wilson Attacked For Upholding American Rights By Associated Press Berlin, April 4, via London, April 5. —Bitter personal attacks on President Wilson and the repudiation of the dis tinction he drew between the German people and their government feature the comments of the German news papers on the President's message to Congress. The Lokal Anzelger says: "America must know that the assurance of President Wilson that the war is di rected not against the German people, but the German government, cannot detract from the anger which his atti tude during the whole war has fos tered and which his last message has fanned into a bright flame. For this assurance is untrue and dishonest, us all the rest of the document from the first word to the last. Mr. Wilson knows that no war in all history was so little dynastic and none so much a war of a whole people fighting for ex istence as this one. which was forced on Germany by a circle of enemies in ail parts of the world whose hate was born of envy." "Wanted War"' Germania says: "President Wilson wanted war and nobody can get past that. History will never go beyond that point and history will judge the more severely because it can be said to-day that war over such questions would have been impossible a't an other time, especially between the United States and Germany. Were we at war with only one or other of our enemies. President Wilson would never have conceived the idea of pulling his country into such a bloody adventure. But the obvious side of a war which is based on such a weak foundation is the fact that it comes from a man who has so far set himself up as a sort of moral judge who felt called to bring the world to eternal peace. Even to-day no, country is worse fitted for such a role than the United States. As little as Italy and Rumania could turn the scales against us. so little will the United States be able to change the tide of war." Sees Bad l'aitli The Vossisehe Zeitung says: "Those who have so far doubted the bad faith of President Wilson will know better when they read the malicious distor tion of truth which forms the chief contents of his message. His attempt to set up a difference between the Ger man government and the German peo ple is as perfidious and as absurd as his claim that the German kaiser started the war for dynastic reasons and that the German war party spon sored it for conquest. This is contrary to, President Wilson's own knowledge and merely for the purpose of agita tion. obviously in line with his British principles."

In the other cities and towns throughout the State, late returns show that the drys scored a big vic tory. Many of the villages and towns that were dry remained so, while others that were wet went dry. Few er than fifteen dry towns return to the wet column. VIRGIN ISLANDS' GARRISON Washington. April 5.

HAKRISBURG |j& TELEGRAPH ARCHITECTS YIELD TO OPEN AIR CULT Revolution in Dwelling House Plans Due to Demand For Outdoor Sleeping Quarters New York, April 4.—"A revolution In the architecture of modern dwell ing houses has been effected by the popular demand for open air sleeping quarters," said Dr. Philip' P. Jacobs, assistant secretary of the National As sociation for the Study and Preven- of Tuberculosis, which has just published a new pamphlet for popu lar distribution on "Sleeping and Sit ting in the Open Air." "This change In sentiment has been brought about largely by the campaign for the pre vention of tuberculosis," he went on. "Real estate men tell me that a sleep ing porch is now one of their chief talking points. Even apartment houses being thus equipped." For tuberculosis sufferers, who most need fresh air sleeping accommoda tions and who frequently have to live In quarters where they are not avail able. this pamphlet alms to show them how, for a .very little expense, they can attach a perfectly satisfactory sleeping-porch to any dwelling. The booklet contains drawings of many fresh suggestions for inexpen sive sleeping-porches, so explained that they may be easily used as plans for amateur carpenters. Suggestions are given for detachable balconies that can be adjusted to any window, und can be moved if the family changes quarters. These can be made or purchased at prices ranging from five dollars to less than one hundred dollars. The simplest form merely calls for a small platform and awn ing so that the bed can be projected through a window. For tenement dwellers an Inexpen sive roof shack of light wood or sheet iron is shown. Cheaper yet is a sim ple wall tent for a projecting roof. Fire escapes are also utilized. Still less expensive is the window tent, home-made or purchased ready-made for live dollars and upwards. A de tached cottage with an ordinary porch may be made effective with only a cheap curtain. The pamphlet makes many sugges tions for making outdoor sleepers com fortable, such as providing hoods, pa per-blankets. fly screens and steeping bags. • A well-known authority is quoted as saying that a man out of doors is ex posed to 100 times more fresh air than can be obtained in the best ven tilated room. According to the ex perts. any sufferer from tuberculosis who cannot find room in the over taxed sanatoria, may take advantage of this knowledge of open air treat ment in his own home with good chance for recovery. This pamphlet may be secured free by addressing the National Associa tion' for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 105 East Twenty-second street, New York City, or from local or State anti-tuberculosis societies and boards of health. WAR INCREASES NEWS PRINT PROBLEM [Continued From First Page] many of the newsprint manufacturers to accept the distribution plan. In addition the declaration of war has upset all calculations. A shortage of labor at the paper mills and the de mand for paper in new quarters with the increasing cost of fuel and other materials has created a situation which is beyond parallel. It is also feared that the movement of troops and the upsetting of normal transportation facilities will further aggravate the menace to the whole newspaper industry. It is probable that some revision of the tariff with a view to relieving fhe situation may be attempted at the'extra session of Con gress. but there is little hope in this direction and authorities declare that some drastic measures must be taken to prevent widespread suspension of newspapers and other periodicals. May Bo Forced to liaise Hates It is understood that a majority of the New York daily newspapers now favor going to two cents, most of the publishers of the United States having already taken this necessary step. In addition to the increase of subscrip tion rates. It is believed that there must be also an advance of advertising rates to permit the newspapers to live even without financial profit. It is the be lief of one New York publisher that if war conies it will be impossible to supply all the papers demanded even at two cents a copy. . Members of the Federal Trade Com mission, after their conference with New York publishers, stated that the war situation threatens to make the demand for print paper outstrip pro duction. Publishers all over the country are instituting most stringent economies. No "This" Without "That" League Aid to H. C. of L. London, April 4.—There's a new league in London to-day. It's* called the "No This Without That Old Man H. C. of L. is the honorary president, and if the trusts ever hear of it—good night! The grocer and his fellow conspirators, the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, are all active members. The consumer is the goat. The idea is very simple. When Mrs. Housewife goes into a store to make a minor purchase, the man behind the counter informs her she can't have any of this unless she will buy some of that. The tobacconists here were the first to adopt the idea. No matches were sold to customers who did not buy to bacco. The grocers weren't more than a jump behind—no sugar unless gro ceries were bought. Then the butcher got it—no beef unless a bone was bought. Dame Rumor has it that the bar bers are going to join the league. No shave will be given without a hair cut. This may be exaggerating things a bit, but here is what is said to have happened: A well known London animal train er has a weakness for fleas—perform ing ones. He went to an animal store in the city and tried to buy a pair of the diverting insects. "Yes," said the man behind the counter, "we have a team of perform ing fleas for sale. But owing to the demand for these little pets, we had to make it a rule never tc sll fleas ex cept to those who will buy a pair of elephants.'' INSPECT ELECTRIC EXGIXE E. M. Herr, president of the West inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company at East Pittsburgh, and a party of assistants were In Altoona Monday and in company with General Superintendent of Motive Power J. T. Wallace, visited the Juniata shops to see the new electric locomotive being constructed there. The engine Is said to be the largest of the kind In the world and It Is about ready to be sent from the shops to the Philadelphia division, where it will be given test runs between the Quaiker City and Paoll, on the electrified sec tion. When completed it will also be tested on the Norfolk and Western mountain lines. NATION PLANS TO MARSHAL ITS FOOD [Continued From First Pane] able men are devoting their time to the problem and the Secretary is placing: the information before the Council of National Defense of which he is a member. Recently he appointed Dr. B. T. Galloway, who had resigned as as sistant Secretary of Agriculture to bet come dean of the New York of Agriculture as the chairman of the departmental committee to consider war-time food supplies. This commit tee is going into every detail of pre paring the feeding of the nation. To Speed I'p Production An inquiry was made by the Bureau of Crop Estimates recently state agents of the department to report Im mediately, on the relative supplies of foodstuffs in the various states, wheth er they are short or plentiful and all other Information helpful in taking stock of the country's foo<J resources. This information has been coming to the committee appointed by Secretary Houston. Efforts to have farmers devote great er acreages to certain food crops and speeding up production are being made rty the department. Assistant Secretary Vrooman is devoting much time to that part of the problem. Announcement of the first estimate of the winter wheat crop to be issued Saturday is awaited with interest in view of the reports that much of the acreage planted has been abandoned. The area planted last autumn was large but conditions through the win ter have been such that it is said the abandonment will be larger than usual.
