Serious news came from Berlin late to-day. The Reichstag has gone on strike and the members have decided to suspend the labors, both of the full house and the main committe until the political situation is cleared up. This leaves the war credit bill in abevance. Emperor William has summoned Field Marshal Yon Hin denburg. charge of the general staff, and General Ludendorff, the chief quartermaster general for a conl'erenc. This news should be interpreted in connection with intima tions that the German government has decided to refuse to par liamentarize the cabinet and the difficulties reported in con nection with the adoption of a peace resolution. Kaiser Threatens to Dissolve Prussian Diet to Secure the Whip Hand By .luociatid Press Berlin, Thursday. July Ift Via London, July 14.—1f the Prussian whose present complexion is a conservative view, fails to meet the conditions set forth in Emperor TVilliam's decree for electoral re forms, It is not unlikely drastic measures will be adopted to over come the obstructionists. The lower chamber might be dissolved. In the case of the House of Lords it would be necessary to augment its mem bership by a wholesale creation of new peers for the purpose of procur ing the desired majority. A significant feature of the Em peror's edict is the specific stipula tion that the reform measure must be forthcoming in time for the next elections. Introduction of equal, di rect and secret suffrage in Prussia will put an end to plural voting as ■well as to ait electoral franchise based on taxation. The reform sub stitutes primary for secondary vot ing and insures secrecy of the bal lot in nlace of the embarrassing publicity heretofore attaching to the casting of each individual vote. It is a foregone conclusion that the reactionary old guard will make a stubborn fight on the measure, hut Its champions confidently • predict victory in the struggle wherein the monarchy and the people are pitted against the junkers and big indus try. It is now commonly believed that the parliamentary reforms for which there has hen such a clamor nill como in automatically. Such reforms, being an affair of the em pire, cannot he undertaken without the consent of the federated states, circumstances which complicates this phase of internal reforms. t \ Serial Number of Conscriptable Men Appear on Page 11 Continuing publication of the serial numbers of men liable to conscription, the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH to night presents the remainder of the Second and J part of the Third city div.sion.

Peace Clamor Grows in Central Empires; Russians Sweep Forward Germany's serious internal crisis overshadows the pending military operations in the news of the day. The reports from Berlin show that the Reichstag has gone on strike against the crown and the military party, apparently in the interest of a parliamentary system of go\ ernment. There is even a rumor, although entirely unconfirmed and little credited, that Emperor William has abdicated in favor of his sixth and favorite son. Prince Joachim. The peace clamor is growing both in Germany and Austria-Hungary. Part of the trouble between the Reichstag and the governing class is over the government's persistent de clination to state Germany's peace terms on the basis of nonannexa tion demanded by what now com prises a majority in the Reichstag. Hold Vp Credits The war credit bill is held up by this majority until the political crisis is settled. But more serious yet is the decision of the members not even to meet meanwhile for discus sion on the regular session or in committee. Apparently the crown prince is waging a light for control on be half of the militaristic interests. Chancellor Von Bethmann-Holhveg is under fire from the crown prince and his supporters, the chancellor seemingly being too liberally in clined to suit the heir to the throne. On the military side the situation continues to bear a most encourag ing aspect for the formidable group of nations allied against the central powers, this generally being tanen into consideration in dealing with the situation in Berlin and Vienna. Russians Sweep Forward The Russian revolutionary armies in Galicia are still sweeping forward. Apparently there is little to stop them pouring through the breach in the lines in Eastern Galicia opened by General Korniloff. They are pushing on north of the Dniester and west of the Lomnica and generally proving victors in the fighting go ing on along a fifty-mile front. On the Franco-Belgian front a waiting policy is being pursued by General Haig oa the British end of the line and General Petain in the French action. There has been onlv local fighting by either group of armies. Crown Prince Sounds Out Reichstag Leaders on Hollweg*s Standing By Associated Press Copenhagen, July 14.—According to Berlin newspapers the crown prince in interviews Thursday with Reichstag party leaders including Herr David and other socialists in terested himself chiefly in obtaining from the deputies their views on the person and policy of Dr. Von Beth mann-Hotlweg, the imperial chancel lor.

The Russian revolution hasj made Frenchmen realize more vlv-i idly the meaning of the great epoch I which, dawning in America in 17Y*>, i culminated in France 17SS in a great: revolution whose spirit after over a century is about to have its full fru- j ition in the destruction of the last ; Bastile of absolutism by the forces j of the democracy.

Notwithstanding his sixty-four j years he enlisted, has fought for three years and has been wounded. | He was promoted to the rank of 1 sergeant and is understood to be the; oldest man in the ranks of tho! French army. War-Torn Flags Paris wept and cheered at the 1 sight of tho battle-torn flags brought from the front and carried through the streets to-day. There were 134 i of them, each the standard of some: regiment or battalion remarkable fori valor and suffering. 'With each flag' marched thirty men picked from the regiment men who had been ■ through infernos of endurance and: assaults, most of them recovered from wounds each of them excep-j tional, among so many brave men! for the deeds done.

Discovers Process to Make Explosives Partly Out of Sugar By Associated Press Washington. July 14.—The United States has discovered a new*process \ by which glycerine may be inanu-1 factured out of sugar. Under the secret process evolved i the cost of this substance, a heavy, factor in the manufacture of explo sives, will bs reduced to slightly I more than one-fourth of its present i cost. Glycerine is at present manufac- ' tured almost entirely from fats, at a cost of ninety cents a pound, i which is six times its cost of pro duction before the war. Extraction ' of the product from sugar will in- ' sure production, officials estimate, at twent.v-flve cents a pound or less. 1 The immense importance of the dis- | cover.v in conserving the fat supply , of the nation is pointed out by of ficials. who declare that Germanv's i fat shortage is largely due to the j use of fats for production of ex- j plosives. Germany has long since I been forced to discontinue the man ufacture of soap in order to conserve the fats for munitions making. j The discovery is the first to be j announced by chemists working in I co-operation with the Council of Na tional Defense.

MERCHANTS MAY CURTAIL THEIR DELIVERY SYSTEM Retailers of City Expected to Follow Advice of National Defense Council IS WARTIME NECESSITY Men, Vehicles and Capital Needed by Nation For the Front A meeting of the retail merchants in Harrisburg who are members ot the Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce has been called for Friday evening, for the purpose of agreeing upon a joint plan to comply with the recommendations of the commercial economy board of the Council of; National Defense, which has out- j lined general recommendations tor the merchants to conserve their j energies and men because of war 1 requirements. During recent years the retail merchants of all over United States have introduced liberal practices in the way of delivery services, return : privileges on merchandise, C. O. D. ! privileges, etc. All of these things require the employment of capital, men and vehicles which will shortly be needed tor war requirements. National Service The movement for retail mer chants to make changes in their 1 practices in order to serve the na tion is a national one, and is out- | lined in the following letter from the commercial economy board: "In the present emergency it is absolutely necessary that the coun try's resources be used to full ad vantage to aid in carrying on the war. This requires that all unneces sary services shall be eliminated in retail trade as well as in other lines of business. The commercial econ omy board has made a careful in vestigation of the economies that are possible in the delivery service of retail stores. This shows that a large number of men and vehicles can be released for military or other ser vice that is essential to the welfare of the country. "The board points out, therefore, that delivery service in retail stores j can be very substantially reduced i immediately by restricting the free delivery of small purchases, by el;- l minating special deliveries, and by other means. If possible, not more than one delivery a day should be made on each route. Check Returns "The board urges, furthermore, that the acceptance of returned goods be reduced to an absolute minimum and that all nonessential operations in each store be eliminat ed. 1 "There is such urgent need for men and equipment in other work that the country cannot endure the waste that is occasioned by the abuse of the returned goods privi lege and accommodation deliveries of small purchases."
