THIS DISTRICT
RUNNING AHEAD
IN RECRUITING
Leads State Always and Was
Sixth in U. S. Last Month;
Applicants For Reserve
The Harrisburg army recruiting
district, in charge of Captain Wil
liam F. Harrell, with headquarters
in the Strouse Building, led Peensyl
vania in army recruiting for March
and was sixth of all the districts
in the United States, according to
the official report received from the
Adjutant General's office, Washing
ton, late yesterday.
Captain Harrell announced this
morning that his district enlisted
278 men last month, nearly as many
as was enlisted from the other three
districts in the State, which com
bined only furnished 291 men. One
hundred and four of these were
from Philadelphia, 100 from Scran
ton and 87 from Pittsburgh.
Wntcli (Jui- Record
This is an excellent showing for
the local district which is compara
tively small. The six western dis
tricts which led the Harrisburg dis
trict, are nearly three times as large.
Of the districts in the State, Harris
burg is the smallest with a popu
lation of 1,720,000; Pittsburgh has
2,049,428; Philadelphia lias 2,022,247
and Scranton has 1,873,028.
When congratulated on his tine
showing this morning, Captain Har
rell said, "The worst is yet to come.
Watch our record next month. To
date we have enlisted 1,050 men and
would have had a larger number but
we were held up by the added work
for the Officers' Reserve Corps."
Yesterday recruiting fell off in the
district but took an added boom in
the city. Thirty men were sent to
Columbus Barracks and out of this
number twenty-one were from Har
risburg and nine from Johnstown.
Band to Do Bit
While the majority of the mem
bers of the Commonwealth Band
cannot join the ranks they are not
going to be slackers and will do
their "bit" in assisting in recruiting
here. Elirter Eshenour, manager
and W. Fred Weber, leader of the
band offered the services of the or
ganization to Captain Harrell in giv
ing a free concert in an effort to
stimulate enlistment. Arrangements
will be made to hold the concert
within the next week and a num
ber of patriotic citizens have vol
unteered their services to speak in
behalf of recruiting on the night of
the concert. Captain Harrell will
assign a squad of his men to re
ceive the applicants at the meet
ing.
Fought Under Villa
Men and boys of all ages and
types are besieging Captain Harrell
and the recruiting office in an effort
to secure a place among the 2,500
who will attend the Fort Niagara
camp for the training of prospective
officers from this section of Pennsyl
vania. The demand here and else
where has been territic; in Philadel
phia there is a long line of appli
cants constantly waiting to be ap
proved and a Harrisburg man, who
went down there, said he saw people
stand as long as three hours before
their turn came. The indications are
that there will be many thousand
more applications received than will
be accepted. It is understood that
preference will be given to men
of mature years, of previous mili
tary experience and good education.
One young fellow came in to the
Harrisburg office yesterday with the
information that he had recently
spent some months in Mexico under
Villa, before the American troops
were sent to the border. He is a
graduate of a western High school,
spent a year or so at Michigan Uni
versity, got tired fighting with Villa
and came north to work. He filed
his application this morning.
Jackson Herr Boyd, of this city,
who served some time at the French
front with the American Ambulance
Corps, has made application for a
commission in the Officers' Reserve
Corps.
Detail Coining
Quartermaster W. E. Quirk, in
charge of the navy office sent Bert
ram Cast, Steelton, to Philadelphia,
this morning. Chief Water Tender
Charles Hive, who was assisting
Quartermaster Quirk, here was call
ed to Philadelphia, where he will go
on the receiving ship for detail duty.
At the request of Captain W. C. Her
bert, inspector of engineering mate
rials for this district with offices in
the Bergner building and R. A.
Bacon, the Camp Hill lad who en
listed in the Naval Coast Defem-.o
Reserves, Captain H. A. Busphane,
commandant of the Fourth Naval
District, Philadelphia, will send a
detail of recruiting officers here to
enlist men for that branch of the
service.
FEAR OF STRIKE
ROCKS GERMAN EMPIRE
[Continued From First ]
In the great mining and manufactur
ing districts of Westfalen and Si
lesia.
Finally there is another official an
nouncement that a great combing out
of the war industries is necessary and
imminent to revive men for the army.
This gives the government any need
ed Justification for sending to the
front munition workers who yield to
temptation.
Men Needed at Kront
Some of the men taken from the
industries will be sent to fill the
gaps resulting from the tremendous
casualties in the battles on the west
ern front and others to permit the
release of older men, particularly the
fathers of families, while still others
#lll serve as substitute for skilled
miners now with the colors but more
urgently required in the coal mines.
• The newspapers markedly avoid any
attention to the Swedish labor trou
bles, evidently concluding that these
might serve as an evil example. The
almost entire absence in the German
newspapers of Wednesday afternoon
and Thursday morning of dispatches
regarding the Swedish disturbances is
so significant as perhaps to indicate
censorship on the subject.
MiiMNeN lit Fermeut
All in all a strong ferment is evi
dent among the laboring masses,
caused by food conditions, Including
the reduction of rations and the ex
treme cost of living, and fearlness
of war. This view Is confirmed by an
American businessman who has just
succeeded in leaving Germany and
who, though ignorant of the indica
tions given by the German newspa
pers of yesterday and to-day, told the
Associated Press correspondent that
Berlin was stilly seething with strike
feeling and that the Impression was
widespread there that there will be
another outbreak on May Day

215 ASH COMPLAINTS RESULT
IN FINE OF $1075 BEING PLACED
ON PENN'A REDUCTION CO.
As a result of the "post card com
plaint" campaign started by Com
missioner E. Z. Gross, the city health
bureau yesterday penalized the Penn
sylvania Reduction Company $1,075
for failure to make regular collec
tions of ashes in various parts of
the city.
A $5-(ine was imposed for each of
215 complaints which have been re
ceived by Commissioner Gross and
the health bureau. The $1,075 pen
alty will be deducted from the
monthly check of $2,625 which is
paid to the Reduction Company for
the collection work.
' All the complaints will be turned
over to the city solicitor who will be
asked to notify the company of the
not arrange to recommend something
definite in the matter of an expert
survey being made of the ash and
waste disposal problem which was
presented to Council, on February
27, two months ago.
"On April 13 we wrote and asked
if you had arrived at some conclu
sion in the matter and although wo
have not received any reply to that
letter we have from time to time
noted statements in the newspapers
that you intended to take some ac
tion at one meeting or another of
Council.
"We arc writing to kindly request
that you make a report and recom
mendation in the matter of survey
of tlie ash and waste disposal prob
lem at onoe as we believe sufficient
time has elapsed for the matter to
be fully considered.
"We wish to again reiterate our
belief that if a survey is not made
at once so that the city can take
whatever steps are necessary in the
way of contracts, buildings and plant
lo safeguard its interests upon the
expiration of the present contract
that we will soon find ourselves with
out sufficient time to do anything be
fore the contract is up.
"Inasmuch as time is the essence
of protecting the public interest in
this matter and two months of the
year has already gone by, you can
appreciate our keen desire for you
to arrive at a conclusion in the mat
ter. There seems to be only one con
clusion in the matter to us, namely,
that the city should have its ash and
waste disposal problem investigated
this time by experts so that it can
act wisely and protect the ptblic in
terest. The present improvements
of Harrisburg along other lines were
made in this manner and we flrmly
believe that the ash and waste dis
posal problem will always afflict the
city until you take the action re
spectfully suggested. In the mean
time may we not again request a re
port from you on this subject?"
