Washington Dispatches Allay
Fear Felt For Safety of
J. .Lewis Heck
Dispatches from Washington this
morning relieve the fear of friends of
J. Lewis Heck, Jr., of Heckton, for
his safety in Constantinople.
All but fifteen of the 164 miasion-
HTles working under American Boards
In Turkey are citizens of the United
States, and it is now necessary for
the State Department to negotiate for
their release through the Swedish
government. It Is believed the Turk
ish government will not obstruct the
departure of the Americans.
Mr. Heck, who is secretary to the
American Ambassador, Abram I. Elk
us. of New York, is an alumnus of
Lehigh University, and has been In'
Turkey for about six years. He now
Holds the highest rank for his age of
any official of the United States in
the foreign service.
Writing to his father, J. Lewis
Heck, of Heckton, March 20, Mr. Heck
said: "All well and safe." This morn
ing a, friend in town had a letter from
Mrs. Heck, who spent a year here
with her small daughter, joining her
husband in Constantinople last Octo
ber. Mrs. Heck tells of the serious
)llness of the American Ambassador
With typhus fever and saya: "No mat
ter what occurs, we must remain with
Mr. Elkus until he is able to be re
moved."

STARTS WORK

proceedings. Spencer C. Gilbert, a
resident member of the State Com
mission appointed by Governor Brum
baugh, presided during the prelimi
naries, and set forth clearly the vari
ous steps that have already been
taken by George W. Pepper, the gen
eral chairman, and those associated
with him. So far as possible the
work of the various local committees
will be outlined by the general com
mittee at Philadelphia and In this
way there will be effective co-ordina
tion of the important matters to be
worked out for the benefit of the
State and the nation.
Other members of the General Com
mittee present were: William Jen
nings, who was subsequently elected
chairman of the local committee;
Charles H. Bergner, E. J. Stackpole,
James M. Cameron, Vance C. McCor
mick and W. M. Donaldson.
There was also a good attendance
of the members of the local commit
tee appointed by the Governor.
Seeds Will Be Supplied
After some general discussion as to
the expansion of the local committee
Chairman Jennings was authorized to
appoint such subcommittees as he
may find necessary for the prosecu
tion of the work from time to time.
It was developed during the meet
ing that arrangements are being
made at the general headguarters at
Philadelphia for procuring seeds and
other materials for the general plant
ing program which is being arranged.
Owing to the large scope of the work
to be done there has necessarily been
lome delay in the organization of the
local bodies, but every precaution has
been taken to avoid overlapping and
waste effort.
1 Will Name Executive Secretary
An executive secretary in charge
of the local work will be appointed
■oon and through his office the work
of the various subordinate organiza
tions will be co-ordinated in the in
terest of effective co-operation. Sec
retary Brandt will Immediately re
port the organization of the local
committee to the headquarters at
Philadelphia.
To Help Deatltute Kamllir*
Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, who has
been doing admirable work as head
of the Harrisburg Chapter of the Red
Cross, states that a committee had
been appointed by that organization
for the care of those who will need
help when breadwinners shall have
gone to the front. It was also ex
plained that the women will probably
have to take the places of many men
In those fields of endeavor for which
they are qualified. In the Depart
ment of Civic Relief there will be in
vestigation of all cases in which
hardship results from the enlistment
of the chief wage-earner of the fam
ily. This committee will also have
charge of the investigation of all
other social or economic consequences
of war conditions, especially with ref
erence to moral problems incident to
the location of camps or bodies of
troops in the committee's territory.
For the present the activities will be
limited to an investigation and local
etudy of these problems.
Plan Form Surve~
Every effort will be made through
the local committee to minimize the
Sanger of food shortage. There will
first be a survey of agriculture and
labor conditions in this territory with
the hope of increasing cultivated
ftreas during the season.
Where seed potatoes and other im
portant products are being withheld
from use to secure unreasonable high
prices public opinion will be directed
to the fact and an effort made to
theck such an unpatriotic tendency.
Already the local order of the Red
Dross has secured pledges from the
ewners of automobiles for the use of
their machines In case of emergency.
It is probable also that the local com
tnittee and its subcommittees will
lake part in urging enlistment and in
luch other service of this character as
may be necessary.
The Legislature is now authorizing
n appropriation of $2,000,000 for the
national defense activities of the
Albert Shenk, Hershey; Quincy Bent,
Commonwealth and from this appro
priation will be paid the cost of mak
ing an Industrial survey and cen
us.
Lycoming county has prepared a
father comprehensive and practical
blan of operation, which Includes a
eommltttee on agriculture and food
lupply, home gardening and canning,
teneral crops and labor, cr.imal hus
bandry and poultry and fruits and
market gardening. In short, all who
►re interested in helping are urged to
fet busy in raising food of all kinds.
