thousand men are at work on the

Curtailment of Trains Will
Not Effect Sunday Travel;

Daily Excursions
"The Pennsylvania Railroad has
taken no active steps as yet towards
a general curtailment of passenger
service on account of the war, but the
management has in contemplation the
possibility that such action may be
forced upon it later by future devel
opments. With this in mind, all of
the operating and passenger officials
have been instructed to make a care
ful study of passenger transportation
conditions on all parts of the railroad
in order to determine In what ways
could be reduced with the
least possible inconvenience to the
public."
The special train announced to run
to Pittsburgh from liarrisburg on
June 9 has been called off. Excur
sions to Harrlsburg to-morrow will
be, from Johnstown and Altoona, and
intermediate points; York; New York
state, Renova and intermediate points,
and from York. Other excursions to
this city booked are:
May 20, Punxsutawney and interme
diate points; May 27, Bellefonte and
intermediate points to Lewisburg:
Mt. Carmel to points intermediate to
Snydertown; Wilkes-Barre south to
Sunbury; and from Ardmore on the
Philadelphia division west to Cone
wago.

MUST ACCEPT
MEDICAL AID
Compensation Board Rules
Claimant Cannot Accept
Full Payment
The State Workmen's Compensa
tion Board has ruled in the case of
George Marko, of Steelton, against
the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
after a second hearing of the case
that a claimant who refuses to sub
mit to medical attention for a part j
of the period of his incapacity due
to Injury while :n course of em
ployment can not claim compensa
tion for the whole period.
In this case the company offered
reasonable medical service, but
Marko declined to allow attention to
be given as recommended for a
finger "under a mistaken notion
that the surgeon intended to ampu
tate a portion of the hand" and his
refusal increased his incapacity. The
board holds that he is entitled to
compensation for the period of in
capacity less the fourteen day period
and less "the number of days his in
[ capacity was lengthened or in
creased by his refusal to necept the
reasonable surgical services tendered
him."

"We at Bethlehem," declared Mr.
| Grace, "are probably in as good a
| position as any private industry to
I know how effective are the efforts
j our government is making to pre
pare the nation for the gigantic task
which confronts it. "It gives me ex
treme pleasure, therefore, to ex
press something of my enthusiasm
over the intelligence, the thorough
ness and the unselfishness which are
being displayed by members of the
administration at Washington as well
as by the large number of able busi
nessmen upon whom they have call
ed for advice."
The Bethlehem works. Mr. Grace
j said, are turning out 100 finished
| steel guns and more than 1.000 gun
| forgings a month. "Our facilities,''
j he added, "are at the service of the
I government and will be enlarged in
I any direction necessary to meet its
! requirements."
