FINAL STEPS FOR
CAR TERMINAL TO
BE TAKEN SOON
Officials Will Introduce Ordi
nance Providing For
New Tracks
After many months of careful con
sideration! final steps IW the erec
tion of a terminal at River and Wal
nut streets for the Valley Railways
company cars, will be tnken soon It
Is believed.
An ordinance will be prepared and j
introduced in Council, according to
officials, for the double tracking of
Walnut street, just eet of Frent
street to Second and Walnut streets,
and for laying tracks across the
pavement at River anil Walnut
streets.
Would Relieve Congestion
Tentative plans for the big Improve
ment which will relieve much .of the
car congestion at Second and Walnut j
streets, Market Square and Indirectly
relieve traffic at Third and Market |
and at Third and Walnut streets, j
were approved last evening at a
meeting of the City Commissioners,
City Planning Commission members
and representatives of the Valle>
Railways Company*
The program of the Valley com- I
pany Including double-tracking Wal
nut street and the terminal con
struction, when completed, will re
duce the number of cars parsing
Second and Walnut streets, and go
ing to Market Square, as all 'cross
river cars will use the loop which
Is to be placed Inside the terminal
ir. Walnut street.
First Step of Program
This will give the city officials the I
first real opportunity to effectively!
nrrange for elimination of other traf
fic troubles which have developed in
the downtown district. In tho sur
vey of the Harrlsburg Railways com
pany lines it is understood when a
report is made by the experts men
tion will be probably made of prob
able steps in solving some of these
difficulties.
"While the question of providing;
for the terminal .and agreeing on
plans is practically settled with the
exception of formal action In Council
and the beginning of construction
work, nothing will be done, it is un
derstood, in connection with the pro
posed erection of a new bridge across
the river, at Walnut street, until the
present program is unaer way.
Within a few days a conference on
the Capitol Park extension plans and
arrangements for city transit lines
will probably be held by represesen
tatives of the Harrlsburg Railways
Company, City Planning Commission,
Bion J. Arnold and J. R. Bibbins, car
survey experts. Warren H. Manning
and A. W. Brunner, park experts who
are planning the park development
Recently a resume of the park
program was sent to Mr. Bibbins
who supervised the car survey in the
city. Jn one report on this work
these plans will be given considera
tion in the recommendations for
service improvement.

(iERMAXV HAS A NEW FOE
Paris, May 29.—The Republic of
Tavolara, the world's smallest nation,
has declared war on Germany and
Austria. The new adversary of the
Teutonic powers is a small island sit
uated northeast of Cardinla. It is
about five miles long by three wide |
and rises abruptly out of the sea to |
an altitude of half a mile. Tavolara
was known to the Romans as Buelna i
and was famed for its pearl fisheries.
Until 1882 it was an absolute mon
archy, the last sovereign being Paul I.
Upon his death a revolution made the
island a republic, under the protec
tion of Italy. The republic has a pres
ident, who is elected for a term of
ten years. Women have been given
the right to vote. One of Tavolara's
fishing boats having been blown up
by a mine, the republic declared war.

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR FILLING UP
BTH REGIMENT
I Companies D and I Need More
Than Hundred Men; Can
Take Cooks
Colonel Finney ana other officers of
the Eighth Regiment were at the
Armory of the City Grays last night,
completing plans for the enlistment
of men to fill the vacancies caused by
the dropping pt married men and oth
ers under the conscription act.
The regiment has lost on this ac
count about three hundred men since
returning from tho border, but there
have been sufficient enlistments to
Justify the belief that in a few days
tho ranks will be full. Company D
last night required about sixty-six
men and Company I about fifty. Five
musicians are also required for the
Eighth Regiment band and seven or
derlies are needed. There are ,also
places for cooks In the regiment.
A large banner was placed upon
tho front of the Armory to-day which
la attracting considerable atentlon.
It reads: "Enlist Now in the Eighth
Regiment—Go With Your Friends."
It is pointed out that those who en
list In the local companies will al
ways be In the service with men
whom they Jinow from their home
town, wlierea?"enlistment In the gen
eral service gives no assurance that
the soldiers will not be widely scat
tered.
There Is much feeling here and
there over the persistent efforts of
pacifists and others out of sympathy
with the war to discourage men from
enlisting. After the enrollment next
Tuesday these tactics will bring down
upon those guilty of such offenses the
Indignation and worse of every patri
otic citizen. The time for this sort
of thing has passed.
Whole Milk, Skim
and Buttermilk Are
Very Valuable Foods
Whole" milk, skim milk, and but- |
termilk are highly nourishing and !
valuable foods.
These foods spoil quickly when
. allowed to get warm or when ex-
I posed to bacteria and molds present
in the dust and the air.
\ Keep Milk ('loan
Tills* Injunction applies equally to
the producer, the wholesaler, the
dealer and the consumer.
Unclean milk sent from tho farm
sours and spoils more quickly than
clean milk. Pasteurization makes
milk safer.
Milk, to keep properly, should
never get warmer than 50 degrees
F. until it is consumed. The lower
the temperature the better the milk
will keep.
Bacteria—such as those which
cause milk to sour—develop very
slowly and cause little change in
milk kept at such low temperatures.
A slight rise in temperature, even
for a short time, permits these bac
teria to multiply rapidly and bring
about " rapid deterioration of the
milk, which may render it unfit for
ordinary use.
Don't leave your milk bottles on
a hot porch or doorstep. A short ex
posure in the sun or a warm place
hastens the spoiling even of cold
bottled milk.
Have the milkman put your milk
into the refrigerator. If this is im
possible provide, in warm weather,
a box with ice, or a bucket of water
in a shady place, for the milk.
At any rate have the bottles left
in the coolest and shadiest place
about your premises.
Don't leave milk In bottles or ves
sels in a warm room for a moment
longer than is necessary.
Never pour milk, which has been
exposod to the air, back into a bot
tle containing other milk. Keep such
milk cold and covered in another
clean utensil.
Keep Milk Clean
Milk, when warm, is an ideal cul
tural medium for bacteria. Keep
milk clean. You can keep it clean
only by keeping it covered so that
the bacteria and molds from the air
will not get into it.
Keep your milk bottles covered
either with caps or by placing
glasses over them. Keep them cov
ered in the refrigerator and in the
kitchen or dining room.
Never pour milk into an unsterile
bowl or pitcher. Scald all vessels
into which tnllk is poured for keep
ing or serving. Cool these utensils
after scalding before you put milk
into them.
Before you open a bottle of milk,
wash and wipe the outside of the
cap with water and a clean cloth.
The little depression at the top of
the bottle collects dust or water, or
milk, which may attract flies. Uft
out the cap with a pointed instru
ment, so that the outside of the cap,
which may be contaminated, will not
be pushed down into the milk.
Clean and scald the refrigerator
where milk is stored, regularly with
hot sal-soda solution. See that the
drip pipe is kept open and clean.
Even in the cleanest refrigerator,
never keep milk'in an open vessel.
Milk absorbs odors easily.
If there are babies or iittle children
In your home, clean, cold, covered
milk is absolutely essential.
Clean Empty Bottles
Finally, clean empty bottles. Rinse
thoroughly with cold water every
•milk bottle, as soon as emptied,
and then wash with hot water. This
helps your milkman to give you
clean milk.
Never take milk bottles into a sick
room. Tf you have an infectious or
contagious disease in your home,
boll the milk bottles, and <lo not
return them without the express
sanction of your health officer or
attending physician.
Don't Throw Out Skim Milk
Clean skim milk is a valuable
food, containing all the nourishing
elements of whole milk except the
fat or cream. It is useful in cook
ing cereals, soups, sauces, cocoa,
etc., and Is a palatable, nourishing
beverage.
Sour milk and buttermilk can be
used with soda in making hot
breads, or sour milk can be easily
turned into cottage cheese, or clab
ber. Sour cream is a good shorten
ing for cakes and cookies and Is use
ful for salad dressings and gravies
for meat.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture will be glad to send you ad
ditional Information about the care
and use of milk.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
WHY MEN OF CONSCRIP
SHOULD ENLIST IN GUARD
An officer of one of the local companies\ to-day said:
"There are a number of reasons why men should enlist at
once in the local companies, among them being these:
1. They are with men from their own city and lo
cality.
2. When they, enlist they know the kind of service
they arc going into, whereas if they wait till con
scripton becomes effective thfey may be put into
the navy, marine corps, aviation corps, or some
branch of the service other than the one they
would care to serve in.
3. If they do not know any one in either of the local
companies at the present time then get some of
their friends and enlist together and be assured
of having friends.
4. When they go out with one of the local companies
they will be kept together for the period of serv
ice—there will be no breaking up of crowds that
enlist together as will be the case if they enlist
in any other way.
5. By enlisting in these companies, where at least
half of the men are well drilled, men have a better
chance of learning rapidly and thus do a\Vay with
many long hours of training. Much can be learn
ed from observing the older men.
6. The chances of promotion are better.
7. Serving with men who know how to overcome
many of the hardships incident to service in the i
field and who know how to guard against dis
ease and preserve the health of the organization.
The medical record the local companies in the
eight months' service just completed on the
border argues well for them in that respect.
8. Most important of all in the years to come they
will be known by the regiment they served in.Vlt
will mean something to a man then if he can say
when asked what regiment he served in, that it
was in the Eighth Pennsylvania, and not in THE
. NATIONAL ARMY as the conscript army
will be known.
Get in touch with one of the officers of the local com
panies TO-DAY and have them explain to you just what it
means—then you will enlist.
U.S. WAR EXPERTS
FEAR BIG DRIVE
Look For Hindenburg to
Strike at France in a
Short Time
Washington, May 29.—War depart
ment officers expect a tremendous
drive against the French lines In the
immediate future.
Germany's sole chance of winning
the war is to crush France before the
United States can get adequate forces
ieady to afford any real assistance.
The Government has come into pos
session of information, all tending to
arouse anxiety and indicating that
Germany is planning a great move
ment within the next six weeks.
Information has come to the War
Department that Germany has a new
army of one million men who have
never been in the trenches, but have
been subjected to intensive training,
and are ready for active service. Many
of these men were released from the
German factories by the Importation
of Belgians and the enforced labor
of the Belgians.
Prepare For Buttle
Germans are stripping the eastern
front of their crack lighting organiza
tions for the further reinforcement of
Ilindenburg in this prospective gigan
tic drive. It now appears that the re
ports of a German movement against
Russia and a German drive on Petro
grad originated in Berlin and were
put forth to deceive the allies as to
the true objective o fthe German pro
gram.
Russia, torn with revolution and an
archy, is out of commission in a mili
tary sense. Russia evinces a disposi
tion to let Germany alone If Germany
will let here alone. Russia is furnish
ing some food to Germany and may
furnish more.
It is known now that Germany ex
pected the United States to enter the
war with the resumption of ruthless
submarine warfare and planned then
to strike a mortal blow at France be
fore America, unprepared and far dis
tant, could come to the rescue effec
tively.
Plnim Upset
But the British struck Hlndenburg
before he could prepare his onslaught.
He was compelled to defend and to
retire. The British and French kept
him on the run, and he could not
make a stand long enough to gather
his forces for the long-contemplated
drive on tl\e French lines.

MORE FROM CITY
ORDERED TO CAMP
Harrisburg Boys at Gettys
burg Taken; 'Army Commis
sions Won't Hit Others
Fort Niagara, N. Y., May 29.—The
commissions received by fifty stu
dent officers in training at the re
serve officers training camp here
last week were issued by Secretary of
War Baker upon the recommenda
tion of a qualified examining board,
according to officers In charge of the
post.
The local ofQeials had nothing to
do with granting the commissions,
and according to some of the staff
officers the fact tlutt these men now
have their com missions will in no
way affect the men in training un
less these men are assigned to some
unit of the army to bo formed as a
result of the army increase author
ized by Congress, fhe men now in
training still have an equal chance
of being named to command some
unit in the selective service army as
those who last week obtained com
missions, one of the officers declared.
This officer said the commissions
were issued following examinations
held before the men entered the Nia
gara training camp. No examina
tions have been held here and none
will be until the completion of the
three months' training. The men ob
taining commissions will continue to
study with the other student officers,
Colonel Heavy, in charge of instruc
tion, said. The only difference the
training of the commissions will
have is the new officers will receive
pay of their rank during the time
they are in camp. They must pay
their own board and buy their uni
forms.
It is possible they must be assign
ed to some of the regiments to be
formed during the summer. Six of
these regiments of infantry and two
of cavalry are to be formed at Syra
cuse. About 500 men, taken from
regiments of the present regular
J army, will form the nucleus of each
regiment. The imainder of the
troops will be volunteers, recruited
I by regular army ortlcers throughout
j the country.
Forty-five men from each eom
i pany will be chosen to take places
in the first selective service army. If
the men commissioned last week are
still in the reserve corps when the
selections are made and there are
others in the company whose ex
aminations show them to be better
qualified to take commands, those
commissioned last week will have to
wait, one of the officers said. When
