WILSON WIRES
RED CROSS OF
HIS WAR PLAN
Tells Local Branch of Ar
rangements Being Made to
Alleviate Suffering
Calling upon the people of Harris
burg to contribute through the Red
cross to the alleviation of the suffer
ing and distress "which must in
evitably arise out of this tight for
and democracy," President
Wilson to-day, in a telegram to the
Harrisburg Chapter, told of his
creating within the Red Cross a war
council to which will be entrusted
the direction of relief work.
President Wilson's telegram fol
lows:
"I have to-day created within the
Red Cross a war council to which
will be entrusted the duty of re
sponding to the extraordinary de
mands which the present war will
make upon the service of the Red
Cross, both in the field and in civil
and relief. The best way in which
to impart the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work which this
war will entail will be to concentrate
it in the hands of a single ex
perienced organization which has
been recognized by law and by in
ternational convention as the public
instrumentality for such purposes.
Indeed such a concentration of ad
ministrative action in this matter
scents to me absolutely necessary,
and I hereby earnestly call upon all
those who can contribute either
great sums or small to the alleviation
of the suffering and distress which
must inevitably arise out of this tight
for humanity and democracy to con
tribute to the Red Cross. It will be.
one of the first and most necessary
tasks of the new war council of the
Red Cross to raise great sums of
money for the support of the work
to l>e done and done upon a great
scale. I hope that the response to
their efforts will be a demonstration
of the generosity of America, and
power of genuine practical sym
pathy among our people that will
demand the admiration of the whoie
world."
The head of the new war council
is Henry P. Davison, of J. P. Morgan
and Company, who said in accept
ing the post that all the vast facili
ties of the Morgan firm would stand
behind the American Red Cross for
the duration of the war.
Former President Taft. chairman.
of the Red Cross Central Committee,
will serve with the council, whose
other members are Charles D. Nor
ton. Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr., and G.
M.iP. Murphy, of New York: Edward
N. Hurley, of Chicago, and Elliot
Wadsworth, of Boston.
Headquarter of the council will
be in Washington, but a branch
office will be established in New.
York City, where details of the bust- j
ness of getting supplies to Europe!
will be handled.

Cross are:

rttlOAY EVENING! HARRISBURG iSKb TELEGRAPH MAY 11, 1917.
HEALTH OFFICER
PLANS CLEANUP
Arranging For Removal of
Winter's Accumulation of
Ashes Jmd Refuse
City health authorities to-morrow
will complete pluus for the annual
| spring cleanup which starts Mon
day.
Samuel Gardner, of the Pennsyl
vania Keduction Company, and Com
missioner S. F. Dunkle met yester
day afternoon with the health bu
reau to start arrangements for the
removal of all ashes and refuse
which accumulated during the win
ter.
Owing to the. failure to maintain
regular schedules during the win
ter all clean-up records are expect
ed to be broken. While no resular
schedule has been worked out. Dr.
J. M. J. Raunick, city health offi
cer, said this morning It will hardly
be possible to make two trips over
the entire city from May 14 to 28.
The tentative schedule follows:
Hill district no.th of Market
street, Monday and Tuesday.
Hill district south of Market
street, Wednesday and Thursday.
Downtown, Friday and Saturday.
The week of May 21 will be di
vided up for collections in the cen
tral and West Knd districts.
Scarcity of labor, Dr. Raunick
said, is responsible for making the
districts smaller and taking more
time to cover the entire city.
Owners of vacant lots will be or
dered to have the rubbish cjeared
away, and residents in the city are
advised by the health officers to have
all refuse and ashes which are to
be removed in receptacles that are
not too large to be conveniently
handled by one man.

To Marshal Joffre was presented
the eagle and the Society of the Cin
cinnati, founded here 134 years ago
yesterday, by the officers of the army
of the American revolution, all the
French officers serving with them
being also made members of the
order. The eagle conferred on Mar
shal Joffre is an exact duplicate of
that worn by Washington, Rocliam
beau and Lafayette. The decoration
conferred on Joffre to-day is the first
presented to anyone by the society
since Lafayette received the honor.

Fears Bankruptcy For
Wilkes-Barre Car Line
Wilkes-Barre, May 11.—Thomas
A. Wright, general manager of the
Wilkes-Barre Railway Company, said
to-day that unless some offset to the
hfgh cost of maintenance is at once
found the company will be forced
into bankruptcy. He declared this
condition applies to every trolley sys
tem in the State.
Wright said steps must be taken
to increase trolley receipts, and he
intimated that an application will be
made to the Public Service Commis
sion by his company, and probably
all other companies of the State, for
the right to increase the revenues.
He stated that a six-cent fare may
be a necessity to keep the lines in
operation, but he favors this as the
last step. He favors the withdrawal
of the sale of all car tickets, charg
ing a two-cent rate for all transfers
issued.
If these plans fall to balance the
expenditures he would then ask for
a six-cent carfare. Wright declares
that in tho last twenty years labor
has increased 100 per cent., fuel 300
per cent, and supplies 300 per cent.
In the same period, he points out,
the nickel car rate has been in force.
