CHARGES AGAINST
U. S. HOSPITAL
SHIP FALL FLAT
Noted Physicians and Philan
thropist Exonerate the
Solace
By .-hsocialtd Press
Washington, June 7.—The protest
of "round robin" signed by thirty
patients aboard the navy hospital
ship Solace, charging mistreatment
by the medical officers "rests on
gossip and hearsay," according to
the report of the civilian commission
sent to tlte fleet hy Secretary Daniels
td investigate conditions in any way
it. saw lit.
After interviewing more than 100
men who were aboard the ship dur
ing the period covered by the com
plaint, the commission, composed of
Dr. William H. Welch, Johns Hop
kins University, and Dr. Abraham
Flexn.er and Nathan Strauss, of New
York, reported that:
"The ge-neral testimony is to the
effect that they received what they
wanted, needed and asked for.
Ttvere Mas, in our judgment, no lack
of kindness and intelligent care on
the part of Dr. Blackwood (com
manding the Solace) a,nd his assist
ants. They were dealing through
out the month of May with an un
precedented emergency, and in han
dling it they acquitted themselves
admirably."
Entitled to Praise
The report asserted that the medi
cal personnel in charge of the fleet's
hospitals "are all entitled to
the highest praise for their <s*voted
and untiring efforts and for the suc
cess which they achieved under ex
tremely difficult conditions."
In making the report public last
night Secretary Daniels issued a
statement declaring that 'not only
do the findings of these three fa
mous health experts clear the navy
of a shameful attack, but they
should carry & message of reassur
ance tp the parents of the nation."
He said the charges "first receiving
publicity througfi Senator Calder,
and then given country-wide circu
lation. are shown to have no other
base than malice and falsehood."
Charges that proper precautions
were not taken to prevent the spread
of disease, the report declares are
unanswerably denied by the fact that
there was virtually no cross infec
tion either on the ship or at the
shore hospitals.
"Absolutely Untrue"
The specific charge that fever pa
tients were compelled to carry their
own baggage on boarding the ship
are dismissed as "absolutely untrue."
Charges that the supply of drink
ing water was inadequate are stated,
to be grossly exaggerated and the I
allegation that germ-laden dishes
from the contagious wards were not
promptly disinfected is described as
"Impossible and absolutely absurd."
The method of serving food is de
clared to have been the only prac
tical one "and entirely correct."
The author of the complaint was
the only man found who said he had
lacked for food, his neighbor in the
ward declarimr the complainant had
been served "regularly and abun
dantly." Not a single witness sub
stantiated the charge fhat blankets
from the isolation wards were heap
ed lij one pit? during the day and
discrimtnately distributed at night.
Thousands of Confederate
Veterans March in Grand
Review in Washington
By Associated Press
Washington, June 7.—Thousands
of Confederate veterans were mar
shaled to-day for the parade up his
toric Pennsylvania avenue, past Pres
ident Wilson's reviewing stand, the
most spectacular feature of their re
union. while most of the one hun
dre dthousandvi sitors along the line
of march cheered the aged men.
A small band of union veterans
acted as escorts for their former foes.
The parade, led by General George
P. Harrison, commander-in-chief of
the United Confederate Veterans, in
cluded thousands of regular troops
and national guardsmen, oollege and
school cadets, sons of Confederate
veterans and members of citizens' as
sociations.
U. S. GETS READY
TO DRAFT ARMY
[Continue*! From First Page.]
tp complete the nation-wide tabula
tions.
Wait Final Figures
While waiting for the final figures
the Wa-r Department is already look
ing ahead and preparing for the next
step in the military program. This
will be to determine the number of
men entitled to exemption. A state
ment made by General Crowder war
rants the infeience that class exemp
tions are not looked for; that is, that
farmers, machinists or any other
class not specifically exempted in the
law itself will not be relieved of mili
tary service unless their duties are
indispensable in their particular lines
of industry.
The work of determining these ex
emptions follows the proclamation of
the President, in which he will define
the exemptions in accordance with
the term "selective draft." This
Proclamation will be issued after the
registration returns have been com
pleted.
May Use Jury Wheel
There is no statement yet avail
able as to the- process by which men
will be drawn to appear before the
exemption boartis. Secretary Baker
has sttaed that something in the na
ture of a jury- wheel might be em
ployed, but beyond that no informa
tion ha been given out.
The separation of the real fighting
men from the industrial workers will
begin as soon as the complete returns
from yesterday's registration have
been tabulated and the President has
issued his proclamation defining the
grounds for exemptions.
1,000,000 to lie FxAmincd
It is estimated that about 1,000,000
tqen will be called to the colors for
examination as to physical qualities.
From this number the War Depart
ment plans to call 625,000 men to be
put in training for military service.
The provost marshal general ex
pects to have the final figures of the
registration by the end of the week.
Without waiting for the formal call
to the colors, an invitation will be
extended by the War Department to
men registered for examination and
enlistment in the Regular .Army.
These men will be relieved of the ne
cessity of waiting for action by the
Exemption Boards and Federal
Boards of Review.

Speakers Deliver Orations on War; Prizes Are
Awarded Winners in Various Contests
Urging the members of tl?e grad
uating class of the Harrisburg Acad

the little things in life, the Rev.

they play in binding a nation of
105,000,000 people together. He
closed with a plea that the great in
ventors and scientists should 'be given
equal honors with the great army
and navy leaders of the country.
Edwin Hobart Brown, in his vale
dictory address on "A World
Democracy," pointed to the outcome
of the present war with a prediction
that in all probability Germany's
great empire would be changed into
a republic, following the example set
by the United States ami adopted by

ITALY WILL CUT
COAL WASTAGE
Country Also Plans to Use
Less Iron During
War
By Associated Press
Washington, June 7.—Raly has
determined to cut its consumption
of coal and iron in half as a war
measure to reduce its ship tonnage,
in line with the general policy adopt
ed by the other entente allies in
mission, and Italian minister for
Italian mission announced to-day.
Enrico Arlotta, a member of the
mission, and Italian bminister for
transportation, in discussing tho sit
uation, said that by a rigid enforce
ment of this policy Italy will not
only aid in conservirig the resources
of her allies but will also save labor
and millions of dollars formerly ex
pended in the purchase of coal and
iron abroad. The money saved, he
said, could be used to better advan
tage in purchasing foodstuffs here.
"The reduction was made possi
ble." said Mr. Arlotta, 'by intensive
development of Italy's generous wa
ter power resources, and the elimina
tion within the confines of the na
tion of the manufacturing of all those
articles which required steam power
to produce. The articles could oe
purchased in your country ready
made, we found, and could be ship
ped to Italy at a cost considerably
lower than it was possible for us to
produce under the old arrangement.

OF EARLE RENN
Pretty Wedding Solemnized
in Derry Street U. B. Church
at 4.30 Today
Derry Street United Brethren Church
was converted into a veritable June
bower this afternoon for the wedding
of Miss Miriam Opal Carl and Earle E
Renn, a young attorney of this city.
Pink snapdragon, Ophelia roses, wei
gelas and peonies in a color profusion
of pink and white were cleverly ar
ranged in baskets and vases around the,
altar, on either side of which were
embankments of palms and ferns.
The ceremony, which took place at
4.30 o'clock, was performed by the
Rev. J. A. Lyter, pastor of the church,
assisted by the Rev. N. A.' Barr of'
the United Evangelical Church of
