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."

Dry Victories Will Pass
Referendum on Liquor
Milwaukee, Wis., April 5. The
result of the wet and dry elections
throughout the State Tuesday virtually
assures the passage by the State Sen
ate of the referendum bill which
would submit to the voters in 1918
the question of State-wide prohibition.
The bill has already been passed by
the assembly, and will come up in the
Senate this week.
The upper house has been waiting
to see what the people would do with
the local option question. While Su
perior, which has been dry for two
years, returned to .the wet column as
a result of Tuesday's voting, Madison,
the State capital, and home city of As
semblyman Evjue, author of the refer
endum bill, has gone dry.
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. Two hun

These "soldiers of the sea" having
been stationed ashore guarding the
American legations abroad and the
nawil stations in the island possessions
of the United States for years, the gar
risoning of the Virgin Islands is no
new duty for them.
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.
The awrage abandonment is about ten
per cent. ljst autumn 40.000,000 acres
were planted and probably half a bil
lion bushels will be harvested.

This Greek Dance Was
Just a Little Too Much
Kansas City. April 4. A tall
stranger, who admitted "he was much
in liquor." sang an Irish melody as
he walked into the Wyandotte county
treasurer's office. Miss Kate L. Co
wlck, county treasurer, and Miss
Grace Wallace, an assistant, were
alone in the room.
' Inside, the stranger illustrated his
song witfi a few steps, paused and in
quired of the women what was their
favorite dance.
"We like the Greek dances," they
said.
The man locked the dor and pre
pared to furnish the entertainment.
First oft came his hat, then his coat,
then his shirt.
"Heavens," said the women as they
broke through the door.
When the Court House nttachea
"assisted" him out of the offices ho
answered:
"Just a few fanshy stepshs."
