to-morrow evening. The public is in
vited. There will be no charge nor

This was decided at a meeting of
the Rotary Club at the Orpheum last
night, at which President Andrew E.
Buchanan laid the plan evolved by the
board of directors and the committee
of public affairs at an afternoon ses
sion, before the club as a whole. The
Rotarians hailed the proposed pro
gram with delight and put it through
without a dissenting vote.

This plan has the approval of Cap
tain Harrell, who recognizes the value
to the soldier of being associated
while away from home with men
from his own town. He has made
special arrangements with the War
department, permitting the organiza
tion of this Rotary Contingent and
has given the plan his hearty ap
proval.
Mr. Buchanan Explains
President Andrew E. Buchanan, ex
plaining the proposal of the Rotary
Club, at the meeting last night said:
"Most of the Rotarians are beyond
military age or are so tied down by
responsible positions that they can
not get away to do the work of a sol
dier. Some of them have volunteered
but for these reasons have been re
jected by the Government. Neverthe
less, they desire to do their bit, and
If they cannot go to the front them
selves. they feel that It is the least
they can do to look after the needs
and desires of young men who can and
will go, and they have undertaken to
do that in the way we have outlined.
"The offer of work upon the return
of the soldier who goes away carrying
a card of membership in the Rotary
Contingent is made in all good faith.
It must be remembered that most of
the Rotarians are either themselves
employers or are influential with men
In the community who have work to
offer. It is also true that many men
who have been thinking of volunteer
ing before the draft comes to take
them away have been deterred by the
fear that they would have no work
upon their return. The Rotary Club
will help out such as these."
Open to the Public
To-morrow evening's concert and
meeting will be open to the public,
and everybody, women Included, are
Invited to attend. The Fourth Regi-

Consumer Is Gouged
For Hundred Per Cent
Profit, U. S. Probe Shows
By Associated Press
Washington, Juue 26.—Current
retail prices of canned vegetables
are nearly twice tne prices paid
csnners by wholesalers for this sea
son's output, tha Federal Trade
Commission reported to-day in con
nection with its investigation into
food prices. The inquiry into canned
gcods, the commission explained, is
"to forestall speculative prices."
Wholesalers are paying about 7
cents a can for corn and about 9Vj
cents for tomatoes and peas. f. o. b.
factory. The same cans are' sold re
tail at an average of 17 cents for
corn, 18 cents for peas and 20 cents
for tomatoes.
"A large part of the canned goods
now being sold at these prices is
last year's pack," aays a commission
statement, "and was sold by the can
mrs at considerably lower prices
than now prevailing."
The statement does not attempt to
analyze the defense in prices, but
says:
"Next autumn and winter if com
plaints are made in any locality that
unreasonable prices are being
charged for the canned peas, corn,
tomatoes, salmon or similar prod
ucts, which are now being packed
the commission will be in a position
to promptly expose any extortion."
City Solicitor to Ask
Court to Fix Date For
Hardscrabble Hearing
City Solicitor John E. Fox will ask
the Dauphin county court this week
to fix a date In the early autumn for
the hearing of the "Hardscrabble"
appeals. He believes the time has
come for final action in this long-de
ferred public improvement. The
bonds of the city have been given in
all these cases and there is no doubt
the cleaning away of the two or three
blocks of houses on the west side of
Front street between Calder and
Herr will proceed within a few
months. Many of the owners have
been urging the city officials to ex
pedite matters so that they may get
the amounts awarded by the view
ers and locate elsewhere.
House Goes on Record
For Dry Nation During
Period of the War
At the opening of the House ses
sion this morning a resolution was
adopted on motion of W. M. Rhodes,
Fayette, urging Congress to pass the
food control bill as a matter of na
tional necessity.
The passage of the resolution
caused much amusement as the food
bill is considered to have some pro
hibitory power, so that the House is
on record at least on prohibition for
the war.
Governor Urges Knox
to Vote For Food Bill
in United States Senate
Governor Brumbaugh to-day sent
the following telegram to Phil
ander C. Knox. U. S. Senator, at
Washington. D C.f
"Sentiment of all best thinking
people of Pennsylvania confirms my
personal Judgment that the amend
ed food law now before your body
prohibiting manufacturing of intoxi
eating liquors during war period
should have cord'al support of our
representatives. Tru3t you will help
with your vote this important food
ccnservation proposition."

RUSSIA REJECTS
SEPARATE PEACE,
SENATE HEARS
Provisional Government's En
voy Says Nation Wants
Freedom
NO BASIS FOR RUMORS
Measures Taken to Provide
Army at Front With
Necessary Supplies
By Associated Press
Washington, June 26.—The Rus
sian mission was received to-day in
the Senate where the ambassador,
Boris A. Bakhmetieff, made an ad
dress which was greeted with a
demonstration equaling that in the
House when the mission appeared
there.
Mr. Kakhmetieff spoke generally
as he did in the House, pledging
Russia's unfaltering adherence to
the cause of the grand alliance
against German autocracy and re
jecting without qualification a sepa
rate peace.
In the course of an address the am
bassador said:
Xo Separate Peace
"With all the emphasis and with
the deepest conviction may I reiterate
the statement that rumors about Rus
sia and Germany were wholly with
out foundation in fact. Russia re
jects with indignation any idea of a
separate peace. What my country is
striving for is the establishment of
a Arm and lasting peace between
democratic nations. Russia is tlrmly
convinced that a separate peace would
mean the triumph of German autoc
racy, would render lasting peace Im
possible. create the greatest danger
for democracy and liberty and ever be
a threatening menace to the new-born
freedom of Russia.
"These rumors were due to misap
prehension of the significance and
eventual process of reorganization
which the army was to undergo as a
result of emancipation of the county.
Like the nation, the army, an off
spring of the people, had to be built
on democratic lines. Such work takes
time, and friction and partial disor
ganization must be overcome.
Old Order Pauei
"One must also realize that the time
has passed when the fates of nations
can be decided by a responsible gov
ernment or by a few individuals, and
that the people must shed their blood
for issues to them unknown. XVe live
ir. a democratic epoch where people
who sacrifice their lives should fully
realize the reasons therefor and the
principles for which they are fighting.
"Conscious of the enormous task,
the provisional government is taking
measures to promptly restore through
out the country conditions of life so
deeply disorganized by the inefficiency
of the previous rulers, and to provide
for whatever is necessary for mili
tary success.
"In this respect exceptional and
grave conditions provide for excep
tional means. In close touch wltn
the pan-peasant congress, the govern
ment has taken control of stores of
food supplies and is providing for ef
fective transportation and just distri
bution. Following examples of other
countries at war, the government has
undertaken the regulation of the pro
duction of main products vital for the
country and the army. The govern
ment at the same time is making an
endeavor to settle labor difficulties,
taking measures for the welfare of
workmen consistent with active pro
duction necessitated by national wel
fare.
Want I.nstliie Peaee
"Peaceful in its intentions, striving
for a lasting peace based on demo
cratic principles and established by
democratic will, the Russian people
and its army are rallying their forces
around the banners of freedom,
strengthening their ranks in cheerful
self-consciousness, to die but not to
be slaves.
"Russia wants the world to be safe
for democracy. To make it safe means
to have democracy rule the world."
Kansas Women Plan
Draft For Marriage
Kansas City, June 20. —A group of
Kansas women would use the con
scription law to furnisn husbands for
a lot of deserving young and old
women. They would see to it that
the eligible young men within the
draft ages are married before they
go to war, and that those exempted
from the draft for any reason but
physical and mental disability, are
conscripted into matrimony. Here
is a copy of a letter that came to
J. L. Bristow, chairman of the Kan
sas Public Utilities Commission:
"Won't you let me express what I
think is the big problem confronting
this country to-day. Thousands of
marriageable and worthy young men
are going into the war in a few
months. They are not only the best
of the country's youth, but practi
cally all of it.
"We have army conscription, food
conscription and eonsrription of na
tional resources. Why not matri
monial conscription? Is there any
other thing that can be done right
now more patriotic than marrying
to save the race?"
Not only one but a dozen women
of Sallna and other cities were found
back of the scheme. They had per
fected a preliminary organization
and had rented a post office box for
the use of the organization. The
women, for the present, at least, will
not disclose their names. All of them
are married and have families. Sev
eral of them have eligible young men
within the draft age. Some of them
would like to see their sons mar
ried before they go to tne war. Oth
ers have marriageable daughters.
Until they get their scheme form
ulated the women Insist that their
organization remain a secret, and
the names of the promoters be not
made public. But they have Lockbox
No. 201 at the Saline Post Office,
where mall will reach them.
SPAIN UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Madrid, June 28.—The govern
ment yesterday decided to suspend
the constitutional guarantees. Pre
mier Dato went to the palace to ob
tain'the king's signature to the de
cree authorizing the suspension.

Above is shown one of the flourishing "plantations" in the Bellevue park garden district. Although the
picture was taken in the morning more than a score of amateur gardeners were at work. About ninety per
cent, of the gardens here are planted in potatoes. Indications point to record-breaking crops. Hundreds of
other plots similar to the above are being farmed in the city us part of the national campaign to lower the

ROOT CONFIDENT
RUSSIA CAN BE
FIGHTING POWER
American Envoy Makes Six
Addresses to Important
Bodies
Moscow, June 23 (delayed in trans
j mission). —In the first twenty-four
hours of his stay in Moscow, Elihu
I Root, head of the American mission,
j addressed six prominent organlza
tions, representing every kind of ln
dustrial activity and every shade of
j political belief. In each Instance he
i was received with the liveliest lnter
] est and enthusiasm, not only by rep
, resentatives of the government, t>ut
j by the Workmen's and Soldiers' Dele
| gates, who listened eagerly to Mr.
t Root's account of the way in which
i America is mobilizing all her re
| soupces In the struggle to preserve
| democracy. In a speech before the
i military and industrial committee to
| day, Mr. Root said:
"I do not think we fully epprecl-
I ated the difficulties under which you
have labored. A study of conditions
since our arrival reveals those diffl
! culties as far greater than we sup
| posed. That increases our admiration
for the courage, persistency and pub
s lie spirit with which you have car
ried on our great work in the last
: two vears.
j "I observe with some distress that
j there are influences operating in an
, attempt to hinder your future efforts,
j Of course, if the revolution were now
! to proceed to the destruction of all
! industrial enterprise, that must end
| your work, and there are plainly
| some malign influences which desire
, to accomplish that result.
| "I have, however, the greatest con
-1 fidence in the sincerity of purpose and
the strong determination of the pro
j visional government at Petrograd to
combat and counteract those Influ
-5 ences and to maintain the industrial
i system of the country. It is indicated
so plainly by conditions that the way
to maintain industrial efficiency and
continue the work of your committee
: is to stand by -and support the au
thority of the provisional government
that I cannot doubt such support will
be given freely and continuously."
Dauphin Boy to Sail

GIRL VAGRANTS
GO HUNGRY AND
SLEEP IN PARKS
Say They Don'tCarc if They
Arc Sent to Jail When
Taken by Police
"Oh! I don't care what you do
with me. You may send me to jail,
I don't care if you do. If they senu
u? to jail we won't need to work
and we will have enough to eat and
a place to sleep," sobbed 15-year-old
lonian Howard, to Captain Thomp
son when he was questioning two
pretty young girls ch.uged with va
grancy. She, in company with Alice
Miller, of Reading, was arrested
Saturday afternoon after the polico
had discovered they had no place to
sleep and had been spending the
nights in the park.
Both girls told stories almost the
same, except in detail, giving reasons
for leaving home that made even the
Captain admit he could not blame
them.
Never Knew Sympathy
The younger of the two girls said
she had been forced to work for
three years, starting in the kitchen
of a private family when only 12
years of age. She said her mother
had been married three times, th&
last to a man with wnoir it was im
possible to live. Neglect and no
home sympathy, she suid. was all she
ever knew. ,
When the Captain was endeavor
ing to get in communication with
Heading the one girl sotted, "What
cculd they say about us in Reading,
when one's own relatives do not
care what becomes of you how could
you expect the police to care."
WanU'd to Get Married
Lillian Howard admitted she had
been in the Beulah Anchorage because
she and a young friend had intend
ed to leave town and get married.
As she was under the pair were
stopped and she was taken to the
Anchorage. After that she said she
didn't have much to live for.
When they had sufficient money
to get out of Reading they deter
mined to come to this city and get
away from old associations. When
they arrived in Harruturg and paid
their room rent a week in advance
they did not have enough left to
buy food. Both girls had worked in
hosiery mills and before they coula
get work were without funds. After
that they spent the most of the time
in the park and on one occasion
siept on a front porch during the
night.
When reminded they did not
show any signs of suCh a life they
declared they had gone to the Penn
sylvania station every morning to
brush away the effects of a night
on a park bench. Tile police were
utterly at a loss to take care of
them. The police station does not
have a matron.
Officials agreed while they had no
technical charge against the girls
It was not the right thing to let
them wander on the streets without
funds or a place to sleep. When ar
rested they had had nothing but a
sandwich for breakfast at 6 o'clock
in the morning. The one girl was
finally taken care of by a local in
stitution for girls, and the matron
said she was not only apparently a
very good girl but an unusually in
dustrious one. Police officers say
that while she was retained in the
police station for almost an entire
day she never ceased the crochetinn
which she carried with her. The
other girl was released to Reading
authorities.

BREWERS FIGHT
DRASTIC POINTS
IN FOOD BILL
Seek Revision to Permit
Manufacture of Malt Liquor
and Wines
Washington, June 26.—The food
! control bill was taken up to-day by j
; the Senate Agricultural subcommit- [
j tee with many obstacles confronting
j it, chief among which were the dras-!
i tic prohibition features of the meus
j ure as it passed the House. The!
committee hopes to present its draft!
of the bill to the Senate to-morrow
! and prospects are that important
t modifications, designed to overcome i
I some of tho objections to the meas
ure, will be made.
It was expected that the princi
j pal fight would revolve around the
I House provision to prohibit further!
manufacture of foodstuffs into In-!
i toxicants of any kind with deter
| mined efforts made to secure a re-1
vision which would permit manufac
: ture of malt liquors and wines.
In the hope of saving beer and
light wines from the prohibition on
( slaught a desperate fight is to ba>
j made in the Senate to prevent the 1
j adoption of the House amendment
i which would make the country bono
j dry during the war.
Argue on Revenue
Senators opposed to the bone dry
; proposal argue that its enactment
I would deprive the government of an
estimated revenue of half a bil
! lion dollars a year. This estimate is
ba3ed on receipts under present taxes
| and under th > tax proposed by the i
i Senate finance committee, doubling
' the present levies on beer and wines, i
j It is pointed out, however, that
j the liquor section of the revenue bil':, I
j while it would virtually end all dis
tilling for the period of the war.
1 would not prevent the selling of
whisky and distilled spirits. And,
| it is asserted, as the tax is not pai<l
j until the liquor it taken out of bQmj,
the revenue would continue unabat
j ed until the present stores of dis
. tilled spirits are exhausted. The
■ Senate amendment would end 'the
I consumption of grain which might
I be used for food for making distilled
spirits, but it would not. Senators
point out, cut off any revenue.
"Drys" Confident
Prohibition leaders, however, are
i confident that they will have a clear
' majority to pass the House bone dry
j amendment when the test comes.
Due to the fact that much depends
| on the parliamentary situation, and
; the precise form which the motion
takes, there are endless possibilities
of delay to the food bill as a result
jof this fight. There are Senators in I
j favor of the food bill who would see I
the bill thrown in the waste basket'
rather than have it passed with the
I prohibition amendment tacked on. I

Disposition of American

"No, it does not Imply that," Mr.

Greece Will Be AsJ'ed to Join the Allies by Venizelos, Who
Has Been Asked to Form a New Ministry; Three
Months May Find Nation With Army in the Field;
Petain s Operations Result in Brilliant Success.
General Petain has assumed his dashing operations on the
Aisnc front and today reports a brilliant success for his troops
in a surprise attack northwest of Hurtcbise. The entire first line
of the strong German position there was carried and held against
counterattacks. The Germans were badly cut up, besides losing
more than 300 men in prisoners.
It is in this sector between Craonne and Cerny, that the most
feasible route lies to the German fortress of Laon, the vital sup
port of the whole German line on the French front. Last night's
effort by the French seems to indicate that their chief command
has no idea of letting control of the situation here slip from its
grip under the nagging tactics recently adopted by Von Hinden
burg, who has been trying his best by thrusts here and there to
wrest control of dominating points from Petain's forces.
The entente is proceeding rapidly,
with the execution of its program in !
Greece. Former Premier Venizelos,
steadfast supporter of the allies, has
arrived in Athens to proceed with the
woik of forming a cabinet, to which
King Alexander has summoned him,
and it is expected he will have Ills
new government shaped by Wednes
day. Athens advices state.
A proposition that Greece join the
allies in the war is expected to be
presented to the parliament soon aft
er its convocation, according to spe
cial dispatches. These add that three
months' time may find Greece in the
field with her entire forces, after a
