HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH
ISSUES TWO MORE
PROCLAMATIONS
Governor Addresses Registra
tion Boards and Tells People
of Conscription
Governor Brumbaugh last evening
issued two more proclamations deal
ing with the registration under the
selective draft. One was addressed
to the registration boards and regis
trars and called upon them to do
their duty, while the other was a
notice to the people that everyone
with the conscription ages must reg
ister and that the national govern
ment will handle the exemptions.
The latter proclamation was as
follows:
"I have been asked by many peo.
pie what exemptions are to be made
by the national government in the
matter of the act of Congress of
May IS, 1917. Registration has been
confused with conscription and that
the minds of all may be informed 1
hereby state:
"I. All male citizens between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty, both
years inclusive, must register on
June fifth next. There are no ex
ceptions to this whatever. All races,
all creeds and conditions must alike
conform to this act of Congress and
present themselves for registration
at their several voting precincts on
the day named above.
"11. Following this registration
the President will take such steps
as he may deem wise to enroll in
the army and navy such registered
persons as he may deem necessary.
"The act of Congress, however,
exempt from military service under
this law such registered persons as
are: (1) officials of the legislative,
executive and judicial departments
of the United States government, the
state government, the territorial gov
ernment and the District of Colum
bia.
"(2) Regularly or duly ordaineil
ministers of religion, students who
are at this time preparing for the
ministry in recognized theological or
divinity schools;
"(3) All persons now in the mili
tary and naval service of the United
States.
"(4) Members of any -well-recog
nized religious sect or organization
at present organized and existing
and whose existing creed or princi
ples forbid its members to partici
pate In war in any form and "whose
religious convictions are against war
or participation therein in accord
ance with the creed or principles of
said religious organizations; but no
person so exempted shall be exempt
ed from service in any capacity that
the President shall declare to be
noncombatant.
"It is important that all citizens
and all registrars shall keep these
facts in mind and, while all shall
register on June 5, 1917, the font
groups above indicated are exclud
ed from those from whom member
ship in the army and navy shall be
chosen later on."
Everybody So Busy
Gardening; Little Change
Seen on Farm-Garden Day
Because of the great number of
people already engaged in plot gar
dening and in tilling every inch of
available space little observance was
made of what had been designated
in an official proclamation as "Farm
and Garden Day." The Governor in
tended to work late this afternoon.
It was intended this should sup
plant the "Good Roads Day," but
the people of the State have become
so interested in farming that little
change was noticed, according to a
statement made by H. G. Nissley,'
farm agent for Dauphin county. j
Air. Xissley states the dairy situ
ation is fast becoming acute in this
vicinity. Farmers are everywhere ]
selling the cows for beef because it
pays better than to produce milk and
butter. It is hoped the coming of
pasturage will temporarily relieve
the situation but unless some substi
tute is found for the pesent high
priced feed, used to produce milk,
another raise is Inevitable, he says.

It is expected, however, that the
United States will soon make, on its
own initiative, a public statement re
garding indenmnities and annexa
tions. The American statement, it
was said, would probably concur en
tirely with the recent pronouncement
in the French Chamber of Deputies by
Premier Ribot.

Only as Grave Necessity
The Woodward bill authorizing
the Governor to suspend by procla
mation labor laws during the war
was amended in the House by Mr.
Dunn, Philadelphia, so that it shall
not be general, but only in classes

able necessity for such suspension.

nominal rent and in 1913 reduced
the toll for children to one cent. The
action freeing the bridge to boys and
girls for the period mentioned was
taken by unanimous consent of the
directods.
Why the Hill Folks
Love the "Greasers"
Reservoir line travelers were cuss
in' softly, yet very fervently, this
morning because of the length of
time required to navigate the come
back curve at Twenty-tlrst street,
Bellevue Park.
A "Kreaser" went to the curve this
morning to smear the rails with
grease, so the car wheels wouldn't
bind. It. was his first experience,
apparently. He not only greased the
inside of the curved rails, as is the
custom, but he very carefully smear
ed the top of the rails.
Hot car wheels finally burned olli
the slippery coating and the driv
ers put in the rest of the morning
trying to get back on schedule.
