12 DISARMAMENT OF WORLD, DEMAND OF SOCIALISTS German Minority Would Re store Belgium and Serbia to Former Status HIT SECRET TREATIES Condemn Annexations Un less With Will of People Affected By Associated Press Stockholm, July 9. lmmediate conclusion of peace conditions which shall include the establishment of an international convention to bring about general disarmament, is the demand of the international prole tariat, according to German minority Socialists who have just issued a lengthy memorandum. Economic isolation of states is condemned, the memorandum continues, and obliga tory international arbitration should be instituted. Equal rights of all in habitants of any country, regardless of nationality, race or religion, is an imperative necessity. Other rec ommendations are: Secret treaties must be abolished. Modifications of frontiers must de pend on the consent of the popula tions concerned and must not bo ef fected by violence. Annexations an'd indemnities shall be fixed on the basis of the right of nations to decide their own desti nies. Restore Serbia Re-establlshment of Serbia as an Independent autonomous state is necessary. Continuation of the war to estab lish this right as well as to solve the question of Alsace-Lorraine Is con demned. An opportunity ought to be given Alsace-Lorraine to decide by referendum to which court it wishes to belong. It is impoHsihle to refuse Belgium complete independence and complete economy. The Belgian people should receive reparation and damages due to war, particularly the restitution of economic losses, thie having nothing in common with war indemnities which is condemned.

There t:< no such provision, 110 said, al though many letters havo been re ceived on the subject. In Last War Lieutenant Colonel Zlegler enlist ed as a privato in Company D, Eighth regiment, April 30, 1896, serving In thut company until May 12, 1898.

Chance in Signal Corps Officers of the signal corps unit now being recruited in Harrisburg this morning laid emphasis on the chances for promotion offered in the signal corps that is not offered in any other branch of the service. Promotions to commissioned officers and to noncommissioned men have been unusually rapid. First Lieutenant F. R. Amthor who has charge of the recruiting of the local battalion is himself an example of the rap'd promotion in the signal corps. He is barely over the required 21 years but received his commission as a first lieutenant several months ago. Lieutenant Amthor, then a senior at State Col lege was among those In the Na tional Guard to be sent to the Mex ican border. Prior to his going he had specialized in electricity and wireless telegraphy, at one time teaching a large class the intricacies of the wireless. While at the bor der he again specialized in signal work and when the present trouble arose was one of the first to receive a commission and when raised to the rank of a first lieutenant was among the youngest commissioned officers in the service. While no more men are receiving commissions without first making good at a training camp officers say that several commissioned vacancies exist and that men who qualify in a few months of practical work stand an' excellent opportunity for ad vancement. Even at the present time there are several vacancies for sergeant provided the men can fur nish the necessary qualifications. Lieutenant Amthor is very anxious for the young men of Harrisburg to "drop in and talk it over." , To learn all the advantages of the corps from Lieutenant Amthor will in no way obligate the applicant and will give him an opportunity to learn every angle of the service from one whose experience has given him the necessary qualifications. Men who have had experience In telephone, telegraph and wireless work stand the best chances of ad vancement. Men who have never had any technical experience will re ceive not only the same pay as other enlisted men but at the same time have an opportunity to receive a good technical education at the ex pense of the 'government. These same men will then stand an op portunity for advancement to the higher ranks. Vacancies exist for clerks, electri cians. linemen, telephone switch board operators and repairmen, saddlers, barbers, cooks, three far riers, mechanics, caterers as mess sergeants, bookkeepers as supply sergeants, buglers, drivers and mo torcar drivers. To date the following young men have enlisted: Stover M. Smith, Harrisburg; Hen ry Levin. Harrisburg: Joseph Dur bin, Williamstown; Clarence Fick ineer, Williamstown; Joseph St'tes, Williamstown; Howard Ellinger, Ridgway. Enlistment papers are uncom pleted for Robert R. Shuler, Harris burg: Daniel H. Zorger. Harrisburg. Applications for enlistment have been received: Thirty from State College and three from Harrisburg. only fourteen were sent yesterday from the Harrisburg office of the regular army it was consider ed a good number for Sunday. The following Harrisburg men were among the number: Matthew M. Nathan, 24 Aberdeen street, musician. Infantry; Charles W. Smith, 1114-A Wallace street. In fantry, and David E. Nye, 1625 Wall ace street. Infantry. "Help Us Haul Hell- Recruits are still falling in behind the unique slogan for the new truck company. "Help Us Haul Hell To \ Berlin." Many of Harrisburg's best young men seem very anxious to qualify as an assistant in what is considered to be a very noble project at the present time. Drowns Within Few Feet of Shore While Trying Out New Canoe Davis Jacobs, aged 19. 318 Verbeke street, was drowned late Saturday afternoon In the Susquehanna oppo site the boathouses at Verbeke street. In company with two companions, Jacobs was trying out a new canoe when it capsized and he was frowned before his companions could give him any assistance.

He was em ployed by the Elllott-Flsher Coinpuny and was prominent in Y, M. C. A. work. MARKET REACTION FOLLOWS EMBARGO U. S. Steel and Associated Industrials Yield Several Points With Metals, M otors and Active Equip ments; Dealings Light With Little Interest By Associated Frets New York, July 8 (Wall Street.) — j Stocks were again Inclined to react Rt the opening of to-day's market, ! presumably In consequenco of the forthcoming embargo on exports. | United States Steel anr* associated In | dustrials yielded 1 to 3 points an 1 | metals, motors and active equip ments reached to a similar extent. Shippings, oils and Inactive special ties recorded moderate gains. Ralls were irregular on very narrow price changes. Dealings wero extremely light on tho further absonco of pub lie Interest. No dettnlte tendencies developed in the apathetic first hour, the mar ket evidently lacking Impulse from any quarter. In some Instances losses were extended while here and there early gains were slightly In creased. The short Interest occa sionally sought out soft spots but us'ually covered at the first signs of support. This influence became more effective later, the entire list, except motors and Industrial Alcohol, rally ing on buying of the loaders, some of which rose materially over last week's final quotations.

GREAT BLAST IN NAVY YARD Continued From First Page that "great numbers" of men had been Injured. The explosion occurred at 7.44 a. m. The concussion was terrific. At the Southern Pacific freight sheds in Vallejo, two miles from the scene of the explosion, doors were torn from their hinges. Santa Rosa, about* forty miles northwest of Mare Island, reported that the explosion was felt there. „ . Hurt Two Miles Away Among the injured were Lieuten ant C. Bird, U. S. marine corps, and two other men, residents of Pasa dena, who were passengers on the El Capitan, a ferryboat operating between South Vallejo and Vallejo junction. They suffered from shock and were cut by flying glass. Al though the boat was in midstream about two miles from the scene of the explosion, all the doors and win dows were blown out. Orders that no person be allowed to leave Mare Island were issued by Captain Harry George, commandant of the navy yard. No official an nouncement as to the number of casualties has been made. Mare Island is just across a narrow chan nel from Vallejo. \ Lfirtff! * Runaway Horse Places Lives of Many in Danger Becoming frightened at a street sweeper Saturday, a horse belonging to Mrs. George Kennedy, of near Linglestown ran from Fifth street to Sixth in Kelker, turned and plunged madly through a mass of vehicles at the Kelker street mar ket and then collided with a horse and wagon belonging to Emanuel Sciger, who is Mrs. Kennedy's son in-law. The horse belonging to Sci ger was so badly injured that it is not expected to live. The shafts of the wagon struck Sciger's horse on the side and plunged the one side of the shaft entirely through the body of the horse. Despite the protestations of the crowd Mrs. Kennedy calmly gathered up the reins after the har ness had been repaired and drove the horse to her home.

SNYDER Reappointed Officials Will Assume Their Offices in the Meantime Nothing camo from Governor Brumbaugh, Attorney General Brown or Auditor General Snyder regard ing the reappointment of officials who were rejected by the Senate. The Governor remained at the Executive Mansion working on bills, Mr. Brown was at Lake Placid, and Mr. Snyder was on his way from Pottsvllle to Harrlsburg. Messrs. Daniel F. Lafean, Nathan R. Buller and D. Edward Long, three of the reappointed men came to the city, but no orders were issued for their commissions and they will formally assume office within a day or two, although to ali intents and purposes they are in charge. The test wil come when a war rant or requisition for money from one of them is presented to Mr. Snyder. Uner the act of 1915, the attorney general is counsel for all departments and if Mr. Snyder de clines to recognize his decision, which will be based on researches and the precedent of W. U. Hensel, Pattisan's attorney general, in the Watchorn cases, the legal depart ment will probably start mandamus proceedings. Then Mr. Snyder will either have to accept counsel from the attorney General's office or get his own. It is intimated he may act for himself. John Price Jackson, of State Col lege, was to-day sworn in to succeed himself as Commissioner of Labor and Industry, dating from June 2, last. Public Service Commissioner M. J. Ryan was sworn in to serve until July 1, 1918, and Commissioner James Alcorn until July 1, 1919. Law and Order League Proves Story of Attack in Wildwood Is False The Colored Law and Order League has established beyond ques tion that there is no truth in the re port of a Southern colored workman having robbed a young man and as saulted a girl in Wildwood Park on Saturday night, July 1. The police searched in vain after the report reached them and after the Law and Order League got into the case it developed that there had been no robbery and no assault. The story was a pure fabrication to cover up delinquencies of the per sons concerned. , Morrison Movement Advocate in City Alexander Morrison, Jr., well known colored educator, is in Har risburg in the interest of what is known as the New Morrison Move ment for the advancement of the condition of the colored race in America. "We aim to build factories for the employment of the people of our race," said Mr. Morrison to-day, "and especially for the employment of graduates of our Industrial schools some of whom now have difficulty in finding places." The Rev. Dr. A. J. Green, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, preached last evening on the neces sity of every colored man and wom an doing all possible to increase op portunities for the race an.d urged them to take active part in such associations as the N. A. A. C. P. and the New Morrison Movement, the first organization named already having the endorsement of the church. Reserves Civil Body to Hold Important Meeting Arrangements were made to-day for a meeting of the members of the Harrisburg Reserves civil organiza tion at the courthouse next Monday night, July 16, for the purpose of accepting the charter, adopting the by-laws and election of permanent officers together with such other business as may come before the meeting. The directors will meet prior to the general meeting. Since the meeting for organiza tion a month ago the association has been operating under temporary by laws.
