KAISER'S POWER
IS UNSHAKEN BY
POLITICAL MOVE
Washington Believes Internal
Problems Are of Tran
sitory Nature
By Associated Press
Washington, July 11.—Germany's
latest political difficulties are regard
ed by officials here as due largely to
internal problems and probably of
a transitory nature only.
The dismissal of Foreign Secre
tary Zlmmermann, Minister Finance
Helfferlch or even Channcellor Von i
Bethmann-Hollweg would be con-!
sidered largely a surface movement, !
for not until the great army general |
staff itself is reached, It is believed,
■will the real crust of German mili
tarism be broken.
The German foreign office, it was
pointed out to-day, has served dur
ing the war merely as a means to get
the military leaders out of trouble.
Decisions have been made without
reference to the civil branch and
matters brought to the attention of
the latter only when it was desired
to negotiate a way out of the diffi
culty.
Officials Are Puppets
American officials agree with al
lied diplomats here that majiy of the i
German officials who figure so large- I
ly in the news are in fact largely j
puppets being pulled across the stage I
as a blind to the German people, i
Their rise or fall, they say, has litttle :
significance on Germany's military I
and foreign policies.
Nevertheless it is agreed that j
there is an enormous amount of un- !
rest in Germany to-day which in all
probability will lead to sensational
internal changes in personnel of the
government and in reform of obvious!
abuses of the German governmental
system. The German peace party is (
very active and the general opposi- [
tion to the unrepresentative form of j
government has centered attention I
on the extreme powers of the junk- '
ers and Pan-Germans, who are being
held increasingly responsible for the
ills of the country.
Only Matter of Time
Fundamental internal reform in
Germany is felt heer to be only a
matter of time. Those who have most
recently been to Germany say that j
reform is absolutely certain the I
moment the war is over, and that the '
chances greatly favor initial steps be- j
ing taken even during hostilities. j
Austria's influence is becoming'
more and more insistent toiward a |
liberal peace. Austria is said to be
treated most contemptuously by j
German officials and given consider- j
action only as the unavoidable weak
link in the chain. Nevertheless, it is i
known that-she would make peace!
to-morrow if possible, and her activ
ity in consulting German statesmen i
and political leaders is undoubtedly 1
causing worry at German headquar- I
ters.
Magazine Publisher Is
Accused of Unfair Tactics
by Federal Trade Board
By Associated Press
Washington, July 11. Formal
complaint against the Curtis Pub
lishing Company was issued to-day'
by the Federal Trade Commission, j
charging unfair business practices
and stifling of competition by refus- j
ing to sell its puMication to dealers I
handling competitors' publications. I
The company publishes several I
magazines, including the Saturday !
Evening Post and the Ladies' Home !
Journal. Its officers were ordered j
by the commission to appear August
3 to show cause why they should not i
be directed to cease the practices ;
complained of.
Allegations on which the trade
commission's complaint was brought
were made by the Pictorial Review!
Company, which charges that the
Curtis Company used the Saturday
Evening Post, the Ladies Home Jour
nal and the Country Gentleman to
hamper the sale of the Pictorial Re
view Magazine. A suit brought by
the Pictorial Review Company in the
New York courts recently, which
sought an injunction restraining the
Curtis Company in its alleged un
* fair practices, was dismissed by the
court.
Federal Court Rule
Is Now Paramount
The State Compensation Board to
day handed down decisions in two
cases Involving injuries to employes
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad, in which it is set
forth that the supreme court has de
cided that the State Board "has no
jurisdiction in cases involving per
sonal injuries to interstate employes"
and that "the jurisdiction of the
United States courts is paramount."
Awards are set aside in both cases
and appeals are dismissed. These de
cisions were the first to be given
since the supreme court rendered
its decision in the Winfleld case.
The State Industrial Board held
an extended hearing to-day at the |
Capitol for discussion of the code
of regulations for moving picture
machine booths. Representatives of
manufacturers and exhibitors from
all over the State made suggestions
and criticisms. The code will be
promulgated after the proposed
changes are studied.
The Public Service Commission
adjourned executive sessions to-day
until July 23 after refusing to ap
prove the incorporation of the Top
ton Electric Light and Power Com
pany and the Mertztown Electric
Company, against which protests had
been filed by companies already hav
ing rights, and holding over the ap
plications for Fogelsville, Upper Mac
gungie and Trexlertown.

GUARDSMEN TO
MOBILIZE HERE
Continued From First Page
leave here Sunday morning for the
headquarters at Chambersburg. The
men in the motor truck company
organized by Lieutenant Wheeler
will leave for Mt. Gretna at the same
time.
The Rev. Lewis S. Mudge has pre
pared a list of the young men of
the Pine Street Presbyterian Church
who have joined some branch of the
service. Seventy-seven have enlisted
from the church and Sunday school,
forty-two are members of the Hick-
A-Thrift class and twelve of the
class taught by Mrs. John Y. Boyd.
Many Enter Signal Corps
Recruiting at the signal head
quarters kept the small force of men
under Lieutenant Amthor busy the
entire day. Lieutenant Amthor re
, ports that four of five applicants
from Harrisburg and vicinity were
induced to offer themselves because
they had read of the advantages of
the signal corps. This morning
Lieutenant Amthor declared he wish
ed to publicly thank the Harrisburg
papers for the part they have taken
in securing recruits.
An applicant yesterday afternoon
assured Amthor that he was able to
qualify as a bookkeeper, which i
would have given him the rank of a ;
sergeant. Investigation proved that
he was an exceptionally able man. 1
Told that he could qualify, he in-;
quired the nature of his duties and
was told that much of it would be !
inside work with little chance of get
ting o i the tiring line. "None of
that for mine," replied the appli
cant.
To Call Reserves
A letter received this morning
! from Henry G. Opdycke, in charge!
, of the signal work in New York city,
said that active service for the sig
nal reserves is expected within a
few weeks. They will be called to
a training camp and from there to
service when and where needed.
Applicants yesterday were: L. M.,
Huntzberger, Carlisle; Harvey M. i
Miller, Carlisle; N. I. Lightner, Lan
disburg, and .Edgar Stern. 412
street, and Harold K. Hamilton, 412
! Briggs street, this city. Several ap
plicants. are pending further inves
tigation, included in these an expert
telegraph operator and experts in
other lines.
Because of the excellent work
done by the local army recruiting
station the War Department has al
lowed it to retain more noncommis
sioned officers for recruiting work
I than any other office in the United
States. Harrisburg has on the force
twenty-one sergeants and twenty
one corporals; Philadelphia has two
sergeants and two corporals, while
New York has eighteen of each, and
San Francisco seventeen of each.
In a circular letter addressed .to
the branch offices of the recruiting
district Captain Harrell calls atten
tion to this fact and urges still great
er efforts from the officers and men.
A list Is enclosed with twenty-two
of the most successful stations in
the country, showing the number of
officers attached to each. He also
mentions the fact that the dally rec
ord kept at headquarters for each
mr.n on the district is the slip that
will win him promotion to fill the
vacancies that are constantly occur
ring.

Canners Asked to Keep
Prices of Foodstuffs as
Reasonable as Possible
By Associated Press
Washington, July 11.—Canners of
the country are asked to reduce
prices to as low a level as possible
in a letter sent them by Herbert C.
Hoover to-day in which he warns
that the output of the home can
neries, swelled to unusual propor
tions by reason of the backyard
gardening campaign, may prove a
serious embarrassment to the manu
facturers in disposing of this year's
product.
"There will be no difficulty in se
curing markets for the staple and
heavy selling lines, providing prices
are low," says Mr. Hoover, "but if
canners and Jobbers persist in asking
high prices, they will find retailers
carrying these high cost goods on
their shelves for succeeding years
and a depressed market for canned
products."

SENATE SEEKS TO
HURRY FOOD BILL
Final Vote on Control Meas
ure Is Scheduled For
Saturday
By Associated Press
Washington, July 11. Adminis
tration leaders in the Senate, spurred
on by Herbert C. Hoover's letter to
President Wilson, declaring that fur
ther delay In enacting food legisla
tion threatens serious losses to both
farmers and consumers, to-day
sought to hasten action by the agri
cultural committee in perfecting the
Gore substitute for the food control
bill under consideration in the Sen
ate. The committee again to-day
worked on the subsUtute bill, while
the Senate continued debate oil gen
eral features of the measure.
The Senate will vote on the bill
July 21, under an agreement reach
ed only after the Democratic lead
ers had consented to eliminate some
of the bill's most drastic features,
including the stringent prohibition
provisions. ' The substitute is gener-!
ally similar to the original adminis
tration bill except that power to con
trol other industries besides 'food and
fuel has been stricken out. " It pro
hibits the manufacture of distilled
liquors, without providing for gov
ernment purchase of stocks now held
in bond, and gives the President
power to decide, in his discretion,
whether prohibition shall extend to
beer and wine.
After accepting tentatively the
committee amendment authorizing
the President to commandeer whis
ky held in bond, consideration of the
administrative section of the food
bill was taken up by the Senate. Sen
ators Overman and Smoot objected
to appropriating $150,000,000 for
carrying out the act without some
provision for a detailed statement of
expenditures. Senator Chamberlain
introduced an amendment appropri
ating $200,000 for the erection of
temporary buildings on grounds
owned by the government to be used
by the administrators of the food
bill.
Senator Reed said he understood
the agriculture committee was to
bring in a substitute food bill, and
he protested against further consid
eration of the present bill as a wast<9
of time. Senator Knox also voiced
disapproval of this method.

Russ Advance Unchecked
To-day's Russian official statement

carrying out a movement embodying
a serious threat to the Austro-Ger
man front running south through the
Carpathians to the Moldavian moun
tain region.
Theadvance by the Russian armies
on the Bogorodchan-Zolotvin front
represents a drive into the Carpa
thian foothills. Zolotvln (or Solo

of Stanislau and the front of the ad
vance made, running northwest to
Bogorodchan, is twelve miles in
length. Zoltvin is a bare twenty
miles from the crest of the Carpath
ians along the Galician-Hungarian
border. The available passes, how
ever, lie chiefly some distance either
west or southeast of this line.
Two thousand prisoners were
taken by the Russians during the
fighting in Galicia yesterday.
German Chancellor Asks
Public to Have Patience
By Associited Press
Berlin, Tuesday, July 10, via Am
sterdam, July 11. —Fuller reports of
the meeting of the main committee
of the Reichstag say ' that when
Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg
was asked for the result of the
meeting of the crown council he
replied:
"I have read this morning's re
port in the press which does credit
to the imagination of the writers."
The chancellor said he could com
municate nothing at the present time
and asked the public to continue to
have patience.
A National Libertl member said
the report that his party had ex
pressed a lack of confidence in the
chancellor was incorrect. Discus
sion of the motion was broken off.

LAFEAN FILES
FIRST ACCOUNT
Means to Put Question of
Court Suit Up to Auditor
General Snyder
State Banking Commissioner Dan
iel F. Lafean has put up to Auditor
General Charles A. Snyder, the ques
tion whether he will recognize him
as a State official under appointment
by Governor after being rejected
by the State Senate. Mr. Lafean sent
to Mr. Snyder a requisition for ex
penses of an examiner and says that
he will send in his payroll late to
day. Mr. Snyder is out of the city
and it cannot be foretold what he
will do. There are intimations that
he may allow minor bills to wait and
raise the issue by refusing to honor
a requisition for salary of a chief,
which may have the effect of creat
ing a waiting game until the reap
pointed officials, who are said to be
uncertain about spending too much
money for expenses in advance of a
test, get tired of it.
D. Edward Long, superintendent
of public printing, will raise the
question by sending in a requisition
for pay for his messenger and others
will likely do the same thing.
William Young, Philadelphia,
member of the Industrial Board, who
is claimed by administration men
not to be in the same class with the
rest because he is a per diem of
ficial, was sworn in to-day and will
probably start things by filing an
expense bill.
Mr. Lafean sat to-day as a mem
ber of the private bank board with
out having any questions raised, al
though Mr. Snyder is not a member
of the board.
Charles H. Graff, of Kittanning,
appointed a State banking examiner,

A Pot of Paint and a Drop of Solder
, %
May Save the Price of a New Roof
A little leak will soon play havoc with a tin roof, especially if the water soaks through
and rusts the under side. By watching for little leaks, which often start as mere pin
holes, patching them, and painting, a roof may be made to last two or three times as long
as it would if it did not receive such attention. A tin roof ought to be painted, on an
average, every three years —and it will prove economical to have a good tinner examine
it every year or two. The best time to paint a roof is when the weather is clear and
warm. July is a good month. Any of the following firms will guarantee a good job at an
honest price:
