18 GERMANS CRUEL TO PRISONERS OF WAR, SAYS GERARD Small Boys Shoot Nail-Tipped Arrows at the Helpless Soldiers TRAIN DOGS TO BITE Condemn Men to Death by Forcing Them in Typhus Camp By Associated Press New York, April 10. British charges of cruel treatment received by war prisoners in Germany are con firmed by James W. Gerard. For the lirst time since his return from Ger many the former American ambassa dor at the dinner of the Canadian club last night, told some of the things he had seen on visits to the German pri son camps in the capacity of official representative of the British and Can adian governments. "I have seen small boys," said Mr. Gerard, with German simplicity and kindness, march about the prison camps armed with bows and arrows and shoot arrows tipped with nails at the prisoners. At another camp I visited they had trained German •sheep dogs to bite British, and when | tho guards went through the camp i they took the trained dogs with them land It was seldom that they failed to I bite British soldiers." Tho command |ant of this camp was removed, after | long delay, upon complaint # of Mr. 1 Gerard. Sliamc Decent Acts "Another time there was typhus j fever in a camp where Russians were l interned. Saying that all the allies •should stick together, the Germans ; placed English and French prisoners ! with the Russians in the typhus ! camp, thus condemning numbers of them to certain death." • As the climax of this story Mr. Gerard told how the inhabitants of a northern German town were im prisoned and held up to shame be cause they had given food and drink to a trainload of Canadian war pris oners who were starving and half dead with thirst.

TUESDAY EVENING, STOTESBURY AND FELLOWS PLEDGE [Continued From First Pago] scribe to the bonds with which it is proposed to float the contemplated loan Pennsylvania financial interests, aside from popular subscriptions, would probably have to assume the responsi bility of Pennsylvanlans bearing their share of the national war budget. Upon a basis of from eight to ten per cent, that share would amount to approximately $300,000,000. Million* l'r tile State The Governor has received assur ances from such influential Pennsylva nia financiers as Jfl. T. Stotesbury, the Philadelphia banker, who is a member of the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Public Safety Committee, that he and others associated with him in the State's vast financial interests, are prepared to form corporations to establish great plants with which to provide the State with any industries it may now lack or inigiu be required as a result of the war. Mr. Stotesbury and his associates have further informed the Governor that they will see that the State is financially, industrially or otherwise prepared tor the war and, representing billions of dollars as they do, they are in a position to place Pennsylvania at the front in the war preparations now under way or being contemplated. 100 I'er Cent. Kflicieney It is the Governor's desire that the State's share in the solution of the financial and other problems confront ing the nation shall be 100 per cent. If Pennsylvania should be called upon to deliver so many tons of coal or so many tons of munitions, or food stuffs, at a designated time, or place, it is the purpose of the Governor and of the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Public Safety Committee, that Pennsylvania shall be prepared to do so. "An efficiency of 100 per cent," it may be said, will be the policy of the State administration and of the Pub lic Safety Committee. Stale Resources Pledged The entire resources of the State of Pennsylvania are pledged to the nation through a resolution passed in the House this morning. Representative Sarig, of Berks county, was the author of the resolution. Representative Stof flet, of Northampton county, would have the State eDpartment of Agricul ture furnish seeds at cost to farmers, and the bill provides for the supervis ion of the planting and for a lien against crops for amount of cost of seeds. Senate Pledges Resources Resolutions pledging all the re sources of Pennsylvania to the United States in the war with Germany, pro viding that State highways be put in shape for the speedy and convenient transportation of troops and muni tions if need be and urging the people of Pennsylvania to work for the en largement of the food supply of the Commonwealth by increasing their ag ricultural products from a sense of patriotic duty, were passed in the Sen ate at its session this forenoon. The Sarig resolution of loyalty to the government and the tender of the State's resources was adopted on mo tion of Senator Vare after Senator Schantz had proposed that it be re ferred to the committee on judiciary special. The food increase resolution was of fered by Senator R. E. Smith. It sets forth that inasmuch as the United States Is involved in war with Ger many and the question of supplying food to her army is paramount it is the sense of the general assembly that the raising of crops and agricultural products be urged upon the people as a patriotic duty. The bills hat passed finally includ ed two by Senator Beidleman fixing the salaries of county commissioners at from )2,000 to $2,500 and of as sistant county superintendents at sl,- 800 per annum. The bill provides that the salaries be paid semimonthly in stead of quarterly. To Guard Capitol Senator Buckman, immediately be fore the adjournment of the Senate to day, offered a resolution that the State Capitol be guarded by a sufficient number of State police, to be on duty during the present crisis with Ger many, the number to be left to the judgment of the State Police Depart ment. The resolution was passed. Senator Snyder's bill creating' a Bu reau of Economy and Efficiency in the Auditor General's Department passed second reading. V. S.

Kosc Co., Cleveland, O. 1 Police Chief Wants Parking Restricted in Downtown Strets Success of the ne wrecord system re cently Installed as a result of a sur vey by the New York Bureau of Mu nicipal Research; need of city or dinances restrictin gparking in Third and Fourth streets, between \Valnu and Market streets; and a big; increase in total lines and fees turned into the city treasury by the police department, were th'c features of the quarterly re port of Chief of Police J. Kdward Wet zel, to City Council to-day. Chief Wetzel, in the report, com mends the new record system, pointing; out its many advantages over the old method of keeping details on file. During the month of March $1,429 from fines, forfeitures, and court costs were turned into the city treasury,—a new record for the last few years, Commissioner Gorgas reported. During the first three months of the year 11969 have been deposited.

Commissioner William JJ. Gorgas put in the name of City Clerk Charles A. Miller. Commissioner Lynch then called a vote, each candidate receiving the vote of the commissioner who nomi nated him. Further balloting was postponed until next week. Three votes are required to elect a succes sor. Mayor E. S. Meals, who is under i treatment at the Harrisburg Hospital, could not be present, but it is under stood he favors City Clerk Miller. If Council can not agree and elect a successor within thirty days from April 6, when the bill was signed giv ing them the power to till the va cancy, the Dauphin county court has the power to make the appointment. The question of filling the vacancy was the last to be taken up. Before any action was taken, the entire bill as prepared by City Solicitor John E. Fox. introduced by Senator E. E. Heidleman and passed by the Legis lature. was read to Council. Nomina tions followed. Approve Motor I Council approved finally the con tracts awarded the Harrisburg Auto mobile Company for six motorized chemical and hose wagons, and two service ladder trucks. Within the next few weeks the first of the mo- I torized apparatus is expected to be in service. This will include the three steamers which are to be equipped with front drive tractors. Plans for improvements and an addition to the Washington Hose Company house in Chestnut street, were approved. The alterations will cost about $1,200. Mood I.ights at Reservoir Commissioner Lynch reported that five flood lights have been installed at the reservoir, more lights are to be placed at the filter plant and addi tional guards have been put on duty to prevent any attempts to damage the property. Other steps may be taken and Council will be asked next week to approve finally the protective measures. An increase from eight to eleven million gallons of water pumped each day at the pumping- station was reported. This was attributed to the big in crease in industrial activity in the city. In connection with the discus sion of water pumping, Commission er Gross called the attention of Council to a bill now pending In Leg islature which if passed finally would prohibit swimming or bathing any where in rivers or streams within three miles of an Intake for a city water supply. An increase of more than $7,000 in water rents have been collected during the first quarter this year. Commissioner Gorgas an nounced. Pica For Patriotic Co-operation Alexander J. Hemphill, chairman of the Hecrultlng Committee of the Committee on National Defense, New York, sent a communication to Mayor Meals asking co-operation In a. big patriotic demonstration on April 18, In commemoration of the battle of Lexington and Paul Revere's ride. This was read In Council and a reso lution was passed authorizing City Clerk Miller to communicate with city school officials, pastors and other officials to arrange plans.

Repairs to the touring car used by the police department were ordered paid and an ordinance providing for constructing a sewer In an alley be tween Lexington and Sixth streets, at Wiconisco street, passed first reading. VOLUNTEERS NOT WANTED FOR GUARD (Continued From First Page] to prevont organization of purely vol unteer regiments under the guise of National Guard units and which would not, in all probability last be yond the duration of the war. Refoilar Forces Only An official circular Issued to-day points out that the present emergency is one which cannot be met by the regular forces and the National Guard alone and adds that existing law "does not contemplate that the federal gov ernment shall call upon the States to form more National Guard troops in order that It may be called into the Federal services. "The laws." the circular continues, "placed this responsibility of organiz ing more troops for strictly federal use upon the federal government, where It properly belongs. Both from the standpoint of justice to the State and of efficiency of the forces, the Federal government should have the duty and the responsibility of organ izing all forces additional to the Na tional Guard after the guard has been called into the United States service." Launch Manned by German Speaking Crew Captured Cargo of Gasoline By Associated Press Atlanta, Ga., April 10. A launch manned by a German-speaking crew and carrying more than 500 gallons of gasoline was captured several days ago off the Georgia coast and taken to Fernandina, Fla., according to word received here by Charles S. Arnow, State game and fish commissioner. The capture was made by a revenue cutter. Mr. Arnow said, adding that it had caused much speculation as to whether there was any truth in re ports of German submarines in the Gulf of Mexico. Only one of the Ger man crew spoke English, Mr. Arnow said. He had no information to show where they came from. i HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH VER IST DER UMPA-UMPA-PA?
