PUBLIC SAFETY PLANS ADOPTED No Differences Between Com mission and Committee on Defense Hereafter A determined drive to increase the National Guard of Pennsylvania to Its full quota with Pennsylvanians alone before it is mustered into the Fed eral service on July 15 is to be made by the State authorities, in co-opera tion with the Public Safety Committee of Pennsylvania. This was announced last night by Governor Brumbaugh at the conclu sion of a protracted conference be tween him and the otner members of the State Commission of Public Safety and Defense and members of the Pub lic Safety Committee. The conference resulted in what- ' ever differences which have existed between the commission and the com mittee being smoothed out and thou sands of dollars being placed by the commission at the disposal of the committee, in addition to the J50.000 of State funds already granted to the latter. Of the additional thousands, SIO,OOO is to be given to the committee, the Governor explained, for the express purpose of enabling it to help in the recruiting of State as well as national military forces. The Governor said he desired the recruiting of the State forces emphasized. "We want to till the ranks of the National Guard with native-born Pennsylvanians," the Governor stated. "That is why we are about to begin a drive to bring the Guard up to its full quota before it is mustered into the Federal service. We want the Guard to be a distinctly Pennsylvania organization when it is turned over to the Government. "We believe that it would he better to have our infantry and other Guard organizations made up of Pennsylva nians from their respective sections— from boys of their own neighborhoods, as it were—than to have them filled in, after they enter the Federal serv ice, with recruits from Maine, or Texas, or California, as the case might be in the event of the Govern ment having to draw upon outsiders to make up the Guard's full quota." The Governor further explained that the Public Safety Committee was to work directly with Adjutant General Stewart, a member of the State Com mission, in using the SIO,OOO to help In the recruiting of State as well as national military forces. Naval re cruits are also included in the plan, but the real work of recruiting is to be concentrated upon the Guard for the present, at least, so that Pennsyl vania can offer it, the Governor said, to the Government as a complete or ganization, composed entirely of Penn sylvanlans. Another SIO,OOO, or whatever part of it may be required, was also grant ed to the committee to defray the ex penses incurred by General Avery D. Andrews of Philadelphia, chairman of the Military Service Committee of the Public Safety Committee, and his as sociates, in helping to stir up interest in the registration of those subject to the selective draft, expenses in curred through publicity or other work performed by the Andrews com mittee previous to last Tuesday. The commission also gave the com mittee $20,000 for use in food conser vation and the distribution and mar keting of foodstuffs, which is to be one of its chief tasks. This work is in the hands of a subcommittee, of which Howard Heinz, a member of a big Pittsburgh foodstuffs firm, chairman. Mr. Heinz participated in last night's conference, as did W. W. At terbury, vice-president of the Penn sylvania Railroad; Spencer C. Gilbert and A. W. Sewell, all prominent mem bers of the Public Safety Committee. The Governor, as chairman of the State commission, presided. The other members of the commission—Lieuten ant-Governor McClain. Adjutant Gen eral Stewart, State Treasurer Kep hart and Auditorf General Snyder— all present. Meeting Harmonious "Our meeting was harmonious and satisfactory in every way," the Governor said afterwards —and his words were echoed by the others who attended the conference—"and let me say that a big government official only recently expressed the opinion that the Public Safety Com mittee of Pennsylvania was the best organization of its kind that he was acquainted with. The more impor tant fact is that we have reached a complete understanding with the members of the committee as to how their organization, composed of big men who are making many self sacrifices and devoting a great deal of their time in the Interests of their State and country, may best co-oper ate with us and help to work out the grave problems which are bound to confront us. The proposed bond issue of $20,- 000,000 provided for in the bill would be available only in the event of an invasion or threatened invasion of the State. Socialists Expect U. S. to Send Delegates London, June 7. Plans for the Stockholm Socialist Conference are ad vancing rapidly. Now that the French chamber has declared its position re garding Alsace-Lorraine, it is consid ered probable that the French dele gates will be permitted to visit Stock holm, provided they are willing to ac cept the national Alsace-Lorraine pro gram. The action of the United States in refusing passports to its Socialist delegates remains somewhat of a puz zle here, unless the reason be that the delegates are notoriously pro-German. Responsible people on this side read ily admit that America may have been misled by the original British attitude, and therefore acted uuder a misappre hension. The present situation in Great Brit ain is that the Government is unlikely to interfere with the delegates' jour ney, except that it may insist that responsible trades union organizations as well as Socialists and the indepen dent Labor Party be represented. If. through a misunderstanding, the Unit ed Stales remained unrepresentpd, the result would probably prove produc tive of some embarrassment. The Socialist element here seems confident that both France and the United States will ultimately come in to line. British Pleased at America's Patriotism By Associated Press London, June 7.—Commenting on the success of the military registra tion in the United States, the Morning Post says: "The magniflceiit response is cor dially appreciated in thsi country. It Is a sign of the high part America is destined to play in this great conflict /or the restoration and maintenance of civilization. America's naval help already has been of the greatest use. and we look forward to the presence of Americans alongside our troops on land and in the air." The Dally Express says the regis tration of ten million Americans is perhaps the most heartening event that has happened In three yeara.

The damage Is appalling. Build ings lost, in many cases, every win dow on the north and west sides of I AVaynesboro. Thousands of panes of ' glass were smashed into bits. Homes I and apartments, stores and shops were j flooded. In Potomac and Church ! streets, as well as others running north and south, hail and water swept j over sidewalks and the water poured | into the cellars until a depth of five HATIRISBURG TELEGRAPH! and six feet was reached. Trees were clipped of their branches and denuded of their foliage. On the sidewalks and streets all along was a mass of tangled limbs and leaves. The dam age in Waynesboro alone will amount' to between 150,000 and SIOO,OOO. All of the windows along the west side of Potomac avenue were given the full force of the hail, and the buildings present the appearance of having been gutted by Are. Trees were blown and cut down with the hail, limbs and leaves were torn off trees, skylights knocked to pieces, and things in general destroyed by the hail which covered the ground to a depth of from two to six inches in some places, Sewers were clogged and the water rose across the streets and pave ments, going through houses and washing out gardens. Flags were torn down and washed away. The funeral procession- of Mrs. Katherine Yonson. on its way from Green Hill Cemetery, was struck with the full fury of the storm, and one driver, Harry Potts, was badly injured by the falling hail and debris. He was taken to the office of a physician for treatment. Two feet of water was banked up in center square, completely blocking traffic there. The trolley cars of the Chambersburg, Greencastle & Waynes- Street Railway Company were stopped and were unable to make trips either to Chambersburg or to Blue nidge Summit on the mountain, on account of poles being down and washouts along the line. All of the windows in some of the cars were smashed and automobiles that were caught out In the storm suffered In the same way. Both telephone and telegraph lines were put out of commission and there was a break at the power plant that furnishes light, making some parts of the town dark all night. Much damage was done at the Trust Company building, where water poured through the skylights and then swept through the rooms to a depth of two inches, while at Center square the water rose to a depth of from two to three feet, or up to the floors of automobiles and trolley cars standing there. So large were the hailstones and so powerful in force that, spouting was hammered off buildings' and slag and tar roofing were broken through, holes as large as hen's eggs being cut through the roof. The damage to fruit and growing wheat and corn is incalculable, and it is not conceivable how a single apple, peach or cherry could have withstood that awful fusillade of hail. The dam age will run into thousands if not a million or two In the Cumberland Valley, as wheat fields aro mowed down as if done with a sickle, while the corn that was above ground was cut out by the roots. An Idea of the destruction to win dows can be Imagined when the fol lowing reports were received up to 12 o'clock last night; Frick Company, 500 large glass; Tool Company, several thousand panes; I.andis Ma chine Company, about 500; Emerson- Brantingham Company, over 5,000 JUNE 7,1917. panes: Hotel Werner, 16; Wayne Building, 37; Arcade Building, about 2; Enniss Building, 80; Beck & Bene dict Building, 35; A. R. Warner Build ing, 400; a number of other stores and' business buildings, residences, etc., lost from 6 to seventy-five each, while the public school buildings lost several hundred glass each. Emory Heefner's residence on fair view avenue was struck by lightning, which knocked the chimney off, and the bolt flew across the porch of the house owned and occupied by Lester Barr. Robins, bluebirds, wrens, orioles, redbirds and other songbirds suffered. The summer bird colony is next to annihilated. The nests were all cut to pieces and the birds killed by thou sands. Not a bird could be seen any where after the storm while dead ones were everywhere. Just at the begin ning of the storm, a read-headeft woodpecker made a frantic efTort to get through one of the screened win dows of the Daily Herald newspaper office. It was soon knocked senseless 5 by the hall, and the stones cut Its body almost to pieces. Postmaster J. W. Warehime reports that water that swept through the basement of the post office damaged between $10,060 and *15,000 worth of postal cards, stamped envelopes, stamps and post office stationery. Water six feet deep is standing in the basement. The roof of the It Moving Picture Theater collapsed during the storm. The water reucned a height of four feet around the drinking fountain In Center square. There were no schools open here to-day on account of the smashed or broken windows.
