U. S. ARMY NEEDS I
50,000 MEN TO

By Ajiociolni I'rcss
Washington, June 30.—President
Wilson's call for volunteers to bring
the regular army up to its full war
el* Agth of three hundred thousand
* iv/ 1 by to-day has not been realized.
* Wal Department figures indicate
. that there is still a shortage of fifty
thousand men. This discrepancy
probably will be releaved by taking
reservists from the ranks of the new
selective army.
With "recruiting week" at an end.
only nine Sttaes have furnished the
complete quotas reouested. Nevada,
the first to fill her quota, supplied
fi4l on an allotment of 162. Figures
for other States are: Idaho. 737,
quota 650: Illinois, 12.451. quota 11.-
276, Indiana. 7.146, quota 6.400;
Michigan. 6,02' i, quota 5,620; Mon

FRIDAY EVENING,
f JURY DECIDING
CHRISTLEY CASEj
! Fate of Man Held For Mur
...
J denng \\ ite May Be Known j
Late Today
J The fate of John O. Chrlstloy, t
I charged with the killing of Mrs. Annie 1
j Christley, his wife, last July, went'
j to the Jury shortly after noon to-oay. !
A verdict may be reached late this
afternoon. The entire morning was
■ ! consumed by John R. Geyer, attorney \
{ for the defense, , District Attorney
I Stroup and Judge McCarreil in ad
dressing the Jury.
Few persons except immediate rel
atives of Christley and his victim
remained during the morning. As
both attorneys argued the case to the
Jury, Christley either watched the
speaker or looked at the Jurymen,
i seldom dropping his gaze to the floor.
; To refute the testimony of Dr. G. E.
j Kill that Christley was insane, Dis-
I trlct Attorney Stroup called Dr. T. S.
i Blair late yesterday afternoon. Dr.
j Blair told of three examinations he
] made of Christley, and declared he
believed the defendant was sane when
Ihe shct his wife. His testimony dl-
I rectly refuted the evidence given by
Dr. Bill.
! In Courtroom No. 2 tlie case against
'j Mr. and Mrs. Harry Miller, of near
! Hununelstown, went to the jury this
! afternoon. The Millers are charged
| with having starved to death a 21-
year-old son, Clayton Miller.
A jury was called at 2 o'clock this
; afternoon for the trial of J. R. Ben
' nett, a colored attorney held on two
i serious charges preferred by a 16-
i year-old girl. Bennett's trial will
; be opened on Monday. District Attor
i ney Stroup announced.
A Jury yesterday acquitted Peter
' Kohlman. who conducts a saloon at j
! 1 North Seventh street. He was I
! held on a charge of furnishing liquor j
jto minors. This was his second trial. .
as the court granted a motion for it
j after he had been convicted of the
i charge. Rachel Bell, charged with |
| pandering, was acquitted.
Money Cannot Be Spent
Without Public Benefit
! That America is mechanically fit j
for anything ahead of he rand that i
j she has merely to adjust her earbu- j
I letor to new conditions, is the opinion
of a prominent official of the Pre
niiier Motor Corporation, who has|
I just taken a complete swing around i
| the country in an effort to actually
I get at the' real facts relative to fu-
I ture motorcar business,
j "I found," says this Premier of- j
I ficial, "that up and down practical-
I ly ever) automobile row in the coun- !
] try dealers everywhere were asking ;
themselves these questions:
" 'Will the war stop the sale of i
| motorcars?'
i " 'Will automobile factories be com
mandeered for war purposes to such
I an extent that normal production
i will be interfered with?'
" 'Will taxes and contributions to
j war funds drain pocketbooks to such
I a degree that people will dispense
! with all luxuries and Sbme necessi
ties '
"But these question have, for the
most part, answered themselves and
undoubtedly there is a tendency to
return toward that normal sales con
dition which the automobile industry
has enjoyed for the past two years.
"I am of the personal opinion that I
it Is only a matter of a very few !
weeks at the farthest until people in j
| this country will begin to realize j
that money cannot be spent without
I the public deriving benefit from it.
I When this happens you will find that j
: those who have been hesitating about !
the purchase of their cars will buy. :
"Meanwhile, ihere will be a tre- j
| mendous new motorcar clientele ere-
I ated out of war profits and this new
clientele will more tha nneutralize I
| any business slacking on the part
I of the ultra-canservative or the ultra- :
I weak-kneed.
"The basic thing to remember Is !
; that everybody, who wants to, is
; working ami that everybody has I
i money. Witn such a foundationi un-j
der it, business may rock but it can- I
| not topple over. With the eountrv
in the biggest war of all time even '
j the first shock of this tragedv was j
| not enough to entirely stop business I
1 and it is obvious, now that vast sums I
i are being spent, that we are about !
j to enter on the greatest era of pros- !
: perity that the pleasure car business
| has ever known. By November, in
! my opinion, the shoe will be on the
i other foot and dealers will be howl
ing for cars that thev . mot get
I "An extremely late spring and the:
shock of our entry Into the war have]
i simply served to defer business. 1
Meanwhile, the crying need is for
sanity in our war talk and for sanitv I
in everything that is printed about !
the war. And above all else, it should
not be forgotten that the goose that
ays the golden egg in this eountrv
is business and that it takes crol'd
to carry on a war."
Packard Representatives
Have Outing on Lake
| Seventeen executives and sales
men of the Packard Motor Car Com

j week from Detroit where they en
\ joyed a three days' Packard cruise
i on the Northern Navigation Com
i pany's steamer, "Noronic,"

distance into Lake Superior, then
back t'o Detroit.
The Philadelphia representation
1 I was headed by Leo J. Eastman, pres

' I Packard Motor Car Companv, of
■ i Philadelphia. Twenty-five motor car
■ j riage salesmen from various parts of
• ] the country who made high selling
' < marks in the Lincoln highway sweep
! stakes contest, and an equal number
i of star truck salesmen were guests
of honor on the cruise. B. B. llar-
I rlngton, of Harrisburg branch of the
I Packard Motor Car Company, of
i Philadelphia, was also an invited
! gust.
Altogether there were 450 factory
: men, dealers and salesmen, and this
1 big cruise was marked by an exclu
sive automobile show.
On the lower deck of the ship
there was an exhibit of a full line
] of Packard trucks and motor car
riages.
| During the three days of the cruise
an organized convention was con-
I ducted. Another feature was the
! Packard band and orchestra —forty
musicians who gave concerts on
! uoard and at points where stops were
i made.

of the city to send books and maga
zines to the association for use in Y.

GOOD AND BAD POSSIBILITIES OF CITY
BACKYARDS ARE
The accompanying pictures show the good and had possibilities that lie in the backyards of Harrishurg. They were mad* 1 by a TELEGRAPH
photographer at the suggestion of James Evans, 84 North Seventeenth street, who has been instrumental In the removal of backyard board
fences and the beautiflcation of backyards at Regina and Seventeenth streets. The flower-laden yards are those of that district. Two other
pictures show how backyards should not be. The fourth Is a rose hedge in Portland, Oregon. Mr. Evans is trying to encourage rose growing
here.
James Evans, of 84 North Seven-'
teenth street, will give an illustrated
lecture in the auditorium of the
Technical High school, Tuesday even
ing. July 3, on the advantages of
having flowers in the backyards of
Harrisburg instead of dirty board
fences. Mr. Evans has done much
for the beautiflcatlon of the Allison
Hill district and has been promi
nent among those who have encour
aged liower growing throughout the
city.
Some time ago he sent the follow
ing letter to various organizations of
the city in an effort to arouse in
terest in the movement:
"I believe It to l> the duty of
every public-spirited cittzen to be al
ways on the alert, to see if they
can in some way suggest ideas and
assist, as far as possible, in the great
plan of public improvements and
also in making our home surround

Easy Rolling Car Due
to Friction Elimination
| What can be obtained in the way j
, of easy rolling in a motorcar was
shown recently by means of an unique !
demonstration. A narrow silk rib- j
bon, which looked very inadequate for j
jthe task of pulling an automobile,'
was to the lamp brackets of a Frank- j
| lin touring car. A small spring scale i
was hooked into the ribbon so that, j
by pulling through the scale, the force ■
exerted to start the car and keep it,
j rolling was shown on the scale in |
: pounds. Repeated demonstrations
j showed that an average pull of twen- j
I ty-four pounds started the 2250-pound
! car and that only ten to fifteen pounds !
| was attached to the lamps of a Frank- !
1 This exceptional ease of rolling Is!
j the result of the reduction of friction
;to the minimum. The amount of fric- j
; tion between surfaces is directly pro- |
portional to the pressure which forces i
! them together. This pressure is di- j
'rectly proportional to the weight of:
the parts, so the solution of the fric- j
tion problem is found in the reduction
of weight. Light weight has neen a !
'characteristic of all Franklins since |
the first one was marketed back In ;
1902.
The twenty-seven ball bearings in j
the Franklin also have a good deal to
do with reducing the friction and I
making possible the remarkable ease l
of rolling, since they are the highest I
type of antifriction device known. The
Franklin has more ball bearings than
i any other car on the market, this type
being used exclusively except In the
i engine, where plain bearings are ac
i eepted practice.
I As efficiency in a motorcar is, of
course, closely related to the friction
' which must be overcome.by the power
1 plant in driving it. this demonstra
' tion of easy rolling has a real sig
nificance. In fact, a technical test
i conducted some time ago at the Wor
| ccster Polytechnic Institute, Worces
ter, Mass., showed that the Franklin
. delivers 84.4 per cent, of the engine
' power to the rear wheels as driving
energy. \
Goodrich Man Sees the
Russian Revolution
Some new interesting viewpoints of I
I the world war were disclosed by Vic
tor van der Linde, Goodrich reWrelent
lative who returned from war ridden
] Europe. June 19th.
Starting last Christmas. Mr. van
der Linde traveled through Norway,
Sweden. Findland and Russia, doing
special technical work for the Good
i rich Company. He spent considerable
, time in Moscow and Petrograd, Mr.
van der Linde was in the Russian
Capitol when the revolution broke out
and witnessed the exciting times at
■ tending the abdication of the Czar and
;jtbe seizing of the Government by the
. council of soldiers and working men.
j "I have great confidence in the new
' | Uussian government doing Its share
■ in the struggle against German auto
• I cracy," said Mr. van der Linde. "The
s new government is determined to
. stand shoulder to shoulder with Eng
land, France and the I'nlted States.
! The soldiers arc over anxious to con
tinue the tight. But the dissension
has been among the working men en
. (gaged in manufacturing munitions of
j war. The workers are virtually on a
i I general strike for higher wages."
, ; "The American Commission headed
Iby Elihu Root have put new confl
' 1 deuce into the Russian people. When
the workers return to their shops and
! supply the soldiers with clothing, food
' j and ammunition. Russia will tight as
she never has before in her history."
. f Before Mr. van der Linde's recent
, I trip, he was associated with the Paris
I Office of the It. F. Goodrich Company
1 Since the outbreak of the world war,
i he was in close touch witfti the Good
[rich Factory t Colombes. France.
"Vou have no idea,' said Mr. van del
1 l.lnde," of how impressed the French
> people are with the United States
• : Joining the Allies. They have a tre-
I mendous admiration for everything

Rumor of a Separate
Peace Grows in Austria
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, June 29. —The East
German Rundschau, of Vienna', the
: organ of the German nationalists,
j complains in a recent issue of ma
■ chinations in certain circles within
\ the empire in favor of an Austrian
endeavor for a separate peace with
the entente and tending to destroy
good relations with Germany. The
; report is prevalent in these circles,
I particularly in the industrial dis
i tricts, the Rundschau asserts that
I Austria-Hungary could long before
1 this have had- peace with her enem-
I ies if she had not been bound by
the German alliance and that Rus-
I sia alone is responsible for the con-
I tinuance of the war.
Tales of dissonance between Aus
| trla-Hungary and Germany also are
! in circulation and a semipanic re
cently occurred in certain districts
I over the wild rumors that these
) troubles had come to a crisis and
| Germany was able to attack her
neighbor and ally.
