THURSDAY EVENING,
PRESIDENT AND
• DEFENSE COUNCIL
: HIT IN SENATE
Upper Branch of Congress
Charges Executive Depart
ment Is Lax
Washington, May 17. For the
first timo since the declaration of
war the lid was taken off in the
■ Senate yesterday and bitter- criticism j
of the war preparations made by I
senators. The discussion was preci
pitated by the bringing in of the i
$3,390,000,000 Wir appropriation !
bill, it had not proceeded a minute j
when Democratic header Martin, |
who is chairman of tho appropria
tions committee and in charge of the |
bills, demanded tnat the doors be i
closed.
With the galleries cleared tho de- j
bate continued with Intense bitter-1
I ness. There was sweeping denuncia
j tion of the whole executive brancn j
of the government, special attacks j
i being made on tho President, See re j
: tary of War Baker, Secretary of the j
! Navy Daniels and the Shipping!
| Board.
The President was criticised for j
* not taking members of the Senate 1
I into his confidence, ft was charged I
that much was going on. under the |
cloak of secrecy, which the Presl- !
! dent knows nothing of. It was eharg- j
jod that he knew nothing of the I
I sharp row which is alleged to ha\e
been going on in the Shipping Board j
J between Chairman Uenman and
j General Goethals.
N'o progress was made on the bill, i
but with the outburst of indignation,
j out of the way Senate leaders
I thought passage of the htlge war ap
; propriation measure would nut be'
long delayed.
Sweeping Criticism Made
The council was charged with
usurpation of authority, and with J
unlawfully delegating power to the |
advisor/ commission. The Shipping j
Board was assailed for alleged in-
I terference with private shipbuilders;
j and for insisting upon its wooden
ship program. The President was!
attacked for alleged lack of co-op- !
oration and consultation with Con- ;
J gross. •
The upshot of the entire discus- :
sion was adoption of an amendment!
by Senator Sterling, of South Da- |
j kota. setting forth that the powers]
'of the Council of National Defense >
! shall not be considered enlarged be- j
| cause of war •conditions. A section)
of the bill appropriating $500,000 j
[ for the defense council was the basis I
! for the debate.

LIKE ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why a corn is so painful
and says cutting makes i
them grow.
! Tress an electric button and you |
form hk contact with a live wire,
which rings the Ixjll. When your
! shoes press against your corn it j
1 pushes its sharp roots down upon (
j a sensitive nerve and you get a j
j shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns.!
which merely makes them grow, just j
step into any drug store and ask for |
a quarter of an ounce of freezonc.
This will cost very little but is suf- |
! llcient to remove every hard or sort!
c orn or callus from one's feet. A i
few drops applied directly upon a i
| tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness instantly, and soon the corn
i shrivels up so it lifts right out, root
! and all, without pain. This drug

] even irritates tho surrounding tissue
or skin.—Adv.
I son was not kept properly informed'
regarding supply purchasing. Oth
■ era declared that the President and
I the cabinet, without warrant of law,
j had conferred som of their powers
I upon the advisory commission, par
| ticularly as to tho purchasing of
, j supplies.
It was asserted that General Goc
|thals opposed bui.diug of wooden
ships, favoring steel, but bad been
! compelled by the Shipping Board
to proceed with wooden construction.
Senator Weeks complained that
: members of the Shipping Board had
! prevented a private ship building
[ company from raising capital and
1 deterred individuals from investing,
| advising them against putting money
| into specific corporations.
Upon the question of supply pur-
I chases, Senator McKellar, of Ten
j nessee, and others critisized tho De
! fense Council and the Advisory Com
l mission for alleged mismanagement.
S Persons desiring to sell war ma-
J terials to the War and Navy De
partments, it was asserted, were re
quired to first confer with civilians
of the commission.
Hodge Defends Senate
Senator Dodge replied to criticisms
! that the Senate has been delaying
| war legislation.
"In observations frequently made
| we have been called slackers and it
had been said we are doing noth
] ing," Senator Lodge said. "Six
j weeks ago to-day the war was de-
I clared. I have never worked so
hard or so much as since the decla-
I ration of war. Wo began by pass
i ing four great appropriation bills,
i We have passed great loan bills;
I we've passed through both houses a
| bill providing for selective con
| scription.
"England and Canada have been
discussing conscription for three
| years. We've done it in both houses
j inside of a fortnight."
I The senator reviewed other meas
i ures which have been passed by the
Senate.
"I say that remarkable work has
j been done," he added. "This is an
I extraordinary reco.a of hard, ener
| getic work. We are not here to
I take all legislation and not look
at it."
! Senator Poindexter said some peo
ple seemed to have the idea that tho
war would be won by legislation and
i that he thought pointing out some
: things which were obvious to cvery
; one might help, especially as the
! impression seems to prevail that the
whole success of the war depended
' on what Congress did.
"What is it that the administra
j tion wants?" he demanded. "Does
the President lack any authority to
carry on the war?" He spoke of the
I time that had elapsed since the dec
laration of a state of war adding,
"and I am yet to hear of a single
German submarine that has been
j sunk by a vessel of the United States
i navy." The people of his section of
j the country had the material and
the men with which to build ships,
! the Washington Senator declared,
| but they were not being utilized.
Will Begin Riprapping
Soon as Council Passes
on Awarding Contract
Riprapping the river slopes from
; Calcler to Maclay streets, will be
started as soon as council approves
, the contract award, l'ark Commission
j er K. Z. Gross said to-day.
The total cost of this work will be
; about *u,OQO. and the only trouble now
| that park department officials face Is
the fact that of the last SIOO,OOO im
provement loan only a trifle over $3,-
I 300 remains. This will be used to pay
| for the riprapping, but will only meet
j the cost of about two thirds of the
| work.
; Commissioner Gross will probably
I ask CLuncll to provide th 6 remainder
! of the money from the general appro
j priation so that the entire stretch
can be treated. The necessity of this
! important improvement is evident, he
| said, and it is believed council will
i agree to have the work completed.
I When this is finished Assistant
Park Commissioner V. Grant Forrer
is planning to go ahead with planting
of the slopes and filling the soil pock
ets which will be made in the riprap
work. Kvery effort will be made .to
have the entfre improvement complet- j
ed before the Klpona Day celebration
early in September.

Mountain; Lumbermen
Fight to Save Camps
SUMMER HOMES BURN
Bain Only Thing That Will
Stop Many of the Con
flagrations
Furious forest fires which arc raft
ing in many parts of the State are
devastating thousands of acres of
timberland.
The firp which burned over hun
dreds of jicres on Cove mountain is
practically burned out.
Back of Dauphin on Peters moun
tain, a fire which started Monday
has been placed under control by
volunteer and railroad firefighters,
but another seven miles up Clark's
Valley is burning furiously in the
"choppings" of the Hartman Lum
ber Company. Sweeping through
the dense underbrush, tops of trees
lett by the lumbermen and heavy
beds of laurel the tlumes attain a
fierce heat, Lumbermen at Camp 1
have tought for two days and two
nights to save their buildings. Latest
advices were that they would be suc
cessful. The summer home of David
Cameron near Carlisle, for a time
was threatened yesterday.
Dense clouds of smoke from the
mountains above the city made the
surrounding country and city dark
to-day. The sun rose this morning
behind a cloud of black smoke which
caused it to shine red.
Thousands of Birds Killed
Thousands of young birds have
been killed by for(t tires tliat arc
sweeping the Bald Eagle mountains
for miles along the West Branch of
the Susquehanna above Williams
port. The tires have been raging
for several days, but just reached
their height. Hundreds of acres of
second growth timber are being de
stroyed.
Forest fire wardens have been lead
ing scores of men, furnished by the
railroads and farmers, in attacks on
the flames, which are continually
spreading in spite of the efforts of
the lighters. ■
Only a ruin will extinguish all the
fires now burning, as it is impossible
to procure men enough to check the
tlames, which are burning in. many
places.
State Police Help *
Forest tires, raging in the under
brush of Sharp mountain, south of
Pottsville, are being fought by large
platoons of State police.
Houses Burned
Thousands of acres of valuable
timber lands 011 Tusseys mountain,
Warriors Hidgc and Stone mountain,
have been destroyed by forest fires,
which have been raging in the cen
tral, southern and northern sections
of Huntingdon county since last
Monday.
Jn addition to the destruction of
timber several houses and barns and
miles of fencing have been burned.
Scores of other farmhouses were
saved by the heroic efforts of those
fighting the fires. The loss to the
farmers will he heavy.
Fight Fires Under Control
Eight forest fires which burned
more than 500 acres of fine timber
land are under control after a night's
fight, near Altoona. Wild game and |
vegetation were also destroyed.
Minor fires are being reported al-1
most hourly around the Mule Shoe |
curve and at AUegrippius.
Fight Night and Day
All last night and to-duy near Car- I
lisle, fire fighters in the South moun- |
tain fought a big blaze burning in !
and about the big property where \
the summer home of David Cameron,
of Harrisburg, is located, and other
smaller blazes near Laurel.
These latter fires started from
sparks of the larger fire of Monday
night, it is believed, tli'e other being
blamed on careless fishermen. At I
Laurel the blaze burned the fences-!
and outbuildings at the cottages cf!
Mrs. Silas Stuart, of Carlisle, but the j
cottage was Faved.
300 Men Fighting
Fifteen hundred acres of timber
| land on the Welsh mountains, near
s Lancaster, have been destroyed by
i fires during the past twenty-four
hours and the flames arc still spread
ing, despite the efforts to check them
being inade by more than 300 fire
fighters.
The fire started six miles southeast
of New Holland. Several hundred
acres of timberland have been burn

day in the woods near Martic forge,
and to-day the .flames raged uncon
quered.

REPUBLIC FLEET
OF TRUCKS HERE
I. W. Dill With Local Drivers
Bring Thirty-Five Trucks
From Michigan Factory
In the office of X. W. Dill are
j dozens of beautiful trophies won by
I him in various endurance and so
ciability runs. Using a pioneer in
[ the automobile lr.dustry of Harris
burg, he has entered practically all
of the runs and no event of that
kind seemed complete without Dill.
This year Mr. Dili conceived the
idea of having an endurance run all
to himself. The route was longer
than any run ever mapped out by
any motoring party in this section
of the state. Eight hundred miles
from Alma, Mich., to Harrisburg.
The entries were limited to Repub
lic trucks to be delivered to the
Pen-Mar Auto Company of this
city, and the rules governing the
run permitted the caravan of trucks
to make the final control in the
shortest time possible consistent
with safety lirst in the care of the
trucks. The prize award was the
satisfaction of delivering thirty-five
trucks to waiting buyers and the
satisfaction of knowing that the
trucks were equal to any reasonable
requirement. The result shows that
the cars left Alma, Mich., Thursday
evening and arrived here last even
ing at 6 o'clock. All cars reported
in perfect mechanical condition and
lined up on Mulberry street bridge.
The trip was made jver all kinds of
roads, going from Alma through
Lansing, Toledo, Cleveland, Youngs
town, Warren, Pittsburgh, and Lin
coln Highway to Harrisburg. En
route the trucks commanded a great
deal of attention, many people as
suming that they were for war pur
poses.
Among those who drove the cars,
besides Mr. Dill, who led the way
with the pilot car, were: H. W.
Glass, Albert Jones, Isaiah Nelson,
<ind 11. A. Marks, of Phillipsburg;
C. D. Clark and L. S. Ulrich, of Sun
burg; C. E. Rettinger and Harry Fin
ton, of Lykens; Homer Smith, Henry
Fasnacht and Allen Llhgle of Pal
myra; Kenneth Thomas, Camp Hill;
Forrest Phllipelli, Edward Fair, Wil
liam Gearhart, George Hibsman,
Harrisburg; T. C. Spearly and
Charles Thomas, Bellefonte, and A.
A. Damers, Alma, Mich., emergency
man from the Republic factory, M.
K. Thomas, loc&l distributor of Re
publics, was obliged to remain home
to look after the truck business of
the entire territory during Mr. Dill's
absence.
