ASSUME GENERAL
APPROPRIATIONS
WILL BE SIGNED
Department Heads Draw Up
Warrants and Requisitions
For Presentation
Although the Executive Depart
ment declined to make any an
nouncement various departments of
the state government were going
ahead to-day on the assumption that
the Governor would approve the gen
eral appropriation bill to-day and
numerous warrants and requisitions
were being drawn up for presenta
tion. Auditor General Charles A.
Snyder said that he would await the
V filing of a certified copy of the bill
Sand notwithstanding the ruling that
'the Governor may reverse himself
In the thirty-day period for acting
pn bills was inclined to accept a
certified copy as final.
The Governor will probably an
nounce numerous vetoes to-night and
to-morrow as he has been working
on the general bills since the big
appropriation measure is out of the
way.
Auditor General Snyder said to
day he would issue a statement to
the public when the Governor ap
proves the general bill and might
also make a statement about tho
papers of his department. W. B.
Kay and L. F. Hess, the former at
taches under Powell, were at the!
department to-day working on taxi
settlements for clients, the prohibi-|
tion against them having been rais
ed. It is understood they have made]
statements to Mr. Snyder about what
they know of the handling of taxi
settlement papers.
Attaches receiving less than $1,200
a year are being paid by the Audi
tor General under the "emergency'
appropriation" act.
Albert B. Smith, clerk to the House
appropriations committee, has been
placed in charge of certain Investi
gations into the ability of insane per
sons' families and estates to pay for
their maintenance and treatment In

German War Party Grips
Government, Italy Says; j
Peace Movement Fraud;
Washington, July 17. Asserting
that Italy will enter into no negotia
tions whatever with the reorganized
German Government, a semiofficial
dispatch from Rome received here ex
pressed the view that Pan-Germans
are now in the saddle. The dispatch
indicates that the will of the Crown
Prince is beginning to prevail over
that of the Emperor. The telegram
adds:
"A transference of power from the j
Emperor to the Crown Prince appears I
to be in course. This dies not mean
that the Emperor will abdicate, but
that the war party in Germany is now
more powerful than ever. The Crown
Prince was the chief onoonent of the
Pan-German agrarians, who were
principally responsible for the war.
With the influence of this party in the
ascendent, there is no hope for the
democratization of Germany. It is ex
pected, on the contrary, that an even
more militaristic and autocratic rule
than that which heretofore has ob
tained in Germany will prevail.
"There is no likelihood that under
the influence of the Crown Prince the
German people will be allowed to ex
firess their own convictions and opin- .
ons. The war will go on with the Ger
man idea of annexation and indemni- i
ties prevailing
"The peace move, of which so much |
has been said lately, is an enormous i
German fraud by which the allied \
countries will not be deluded. The Ger
man political crisis war created to im
press the outside v orid."
State Department officials believed
yesterday that the underlying causes
of the governmental crisis in Germany
did not relate to peace, and that false
impressions were created by emana
tions from Berlin concerning the
situation, which made it appear that
the trouble was due to peace agitation
and war aims. A complete triumph
of the reactionary elements in the
German Empire was thought to have
resulted from the political upheaval.

ernment's shipbuilding program

there was no indication when Ma
jor General Goethals. manager of the

TUESDAY EVENING,

ANNUAL CAMP ON M
' CHILDREN CAMPING ON
•' M'CORMICK'S ISLAND ARE
t SHOWN HAVING A SPLENDID
TIME. THE TOP PICTURE
GROUP NOW LN
P" th ® lower end of McCormick's Island, Just north of the limits of the city, is the Playground Camp pro
vided by the Department of Parks and Playgrounds for the amusement and physical development of Harris
burgs growing feneration. Yesterday afternoon was the occasion of the annual flag-raising, an important cerer
mony at all times, especially so this year when the shadow of war rests even upon the hearts of the children
and the unfurling of Old Glory holds a serious significance they cannot fail to feel and understand. Flags and
bunting in profusion made the camp a most attractive sight, hung from ropes stretched between the trees and
lifted from the pinnacle of each tent.
Buelah Starry and Gorden J. Piatt, the alert and capable young supervsors, headed the program
which had been arranged. The four young women tent leaders and the forty girls who are a week
in the "wooded wilds of the Susquehanna" followed in double column order, each carrying aii individual flag,
grouped about the large staff and sang "America" in chorus. This was followed by the recitation "Our
Flag, by Miss Henrietta Wohlfarth. Then again came the ensemble singing in "There Are Many Flags In
Many Lands.
Mr. Piatt simply and earnestly, as befitted the wording of so great a masterpiece, told of the "American
Hag as Henry Ward Beecher knew It, that preacher-patriot of a decade ago whose tongue was Heaven
touched.
At the conclusion of the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the whole camp and their guests the
big flag crept slowly up the staff and aft the last note died away it caught the breeze and opened out full length
against the summer sky, each crimson bar and snow whte star sending its messages down to the hearts beating
beneath.

HARRISBURG OSSftl TELEGRAPH
DESCRIBES LIFE
IN PA. GUARD
"Sammy" Koplovitz, Former
Newsboy, Pleased With
Experiences
Samuel Koplovitz, a former news
boy of the city, who has enlisted in
Company K, of the Eighth Regi
ment, with headquarters at York,
has written to his parents that he
finds army life very pleasant. Twen
ty-seven Harrisburg boys are with
j him in this company.
His letter In part follows:
"Find army life, so far very good,
j We had plently to eat yesterday and
also plenty to-day. Was In swim
j ming and had a good shower last
night at the Y. M. C. A. Went to
bed at 9.4 5 and slept a fairly good
1 night. Some fellows tried to start a
| card wage while in bed, but were
surprised when the skipper appeared
I before them.
"I awoke this morning at 5
o'clock, cashed, got ready for roll
I call at 6 o'clock. Ate breakfast at
7 o'clock and again formed in line
in preparation for a three hours'
j drill. After answering roll call and
starting for a hike, we were ordered
to halt.
"To my surprise the sergeant
j call me out of line. In the mean
j time I wondered what was the trou
ble, as I stepped forward and re
sponded to his call. He told me that
I was to report at the office. All the
time I was thinking, what is the
trouble. As I reported in the office
the captain sayr. I was to be assist
ant clerk until after we are muster
ed in and go through the federal
examination.
"So from 8.30 until 12.30 I was
busy in helping the Federal officers
in their examinations. I have to
I give the men their final mark before
passtns. The mustering was done
in a different manner this time. Cap
tain Stewart, the Federal officer, has
to look over each man. The exami
nations are strict. During the day
we examined fifty-two men, of whom
six were rejected and fourteen
classed as doubtful. We received a
bundle of TELEGRAPHS and were
certainly glad to read a home town
paper. We were surprised when we
learned from the papers that the
Harrisburg companies were already
encamped on the Island. Well, I am
glad now. that I won't have to at
tend the six hours drill a day as I
will clerk for the remainder of the
week.
"I will be th£ last fellow examined
| as I won't know whether I take the
trip or not. I'll let you know as soon
as I find out.
"Your son,
"SAM."
DEMAND FOR MAN
OF HIGH ABILITY
AS CITY'S MAYOR
Council Has Made No Move
to Fill Vacancy Caused
by Miller's Death
There is a growin* demand that I
Council select a man who would I
meet the approval of residents of ;
the city for the mayoralty to suc
ceed the late Charles A. Miller. The j
feeling is general that the chief ex
ecutive of the city ought to be one '
who can represent the city in a dig- ]
nlfied manner at conventions and j
public gatherings and at the same
time have the city's business at his j
fingers' ends and its welfare as his j
first consideration. The more repre
sentative of the best citizenship of
the city the new mayor shall be, the
more likely he will be to win pop
ular approval at the fall elections.
Councilmen say they have given
absolutely no thought to the filling
of the vacancy, and there is said to
be a sentiirlent in Council to allow
the election to go by default, per
mitting the courts to do the appoint
ing after the expiration of the thirty
days required by the Beldleman law.
Whether or not this will be done
cannot be forecasted
Park Commissioner Gross is said
to be undecided as to whether he
will be a candidate for commission
er again or for mayor at the fall
primaries, and It is whispered friends
of John K. Royal think that he
might stand a chance if Commis
sioner Gorgas could bring he other i
commissioners to the point of elect
ing a Democrat, which is not con
sidered likely.
Dr. Samuel Hassler, who was
Royal's unsuccessful opponent, when
Royal last was elected, is said to be
passively in the field but is not seek
ing the place.
Petitions for Daniel L. Keister, ex
representative and former select
councilman, who is a candidate for
mayor, were circulated to-day.
Friends also are circulating petitions
for William S. Moses, of the city,
who is a candidate for jury commis
sioner.
Ex-Representative Daniel L. Keis
ter stated to-day that several hun
dred persons had already signed his
petition and that he would remain in
the contest until the finish. Mr.
Keister said he had received much
encouragement.
TROOPS BEING
HARDENED SLOWLY
OSBJ JSJJJ IUO.I .J IMIIUIHIOJ
ed down in the troop.
The initial muster for the Gov
ernor's Troop was called yesterday
morning. Since that time Lieuten
ant Benjamin Van Campen has been
giving the men the physical exam
inations. Lieutenant D. E. Lane has
been doing the mustering work. It
is expected to have the final muster
Thursday afternoon.
Five Army Officers
Five Federal officers have been do
ing the work at the Second street
armory. Rejections have been very
small and all the companies are
hoping to go through with very few
substitutions. All the companies have
men on the reserve list and any va
cancies will be taken by men who
have been anxious to enter the Na
tional Guard.
The guardsmen's day starts
promptly at 6 o'clock when the first
call is sounded. Fifteen minutes later
the reveille is sounded. That means
the boys have .just fifteen minutes
to stretch, figure the day of the week,
realize that the wallpaper has no
design, and they really aren't home,
stretch, yawn a few times and rub
sundry sore spots more accustomed
to mattresses than stretched'canvas,
dress and be outside ready for the
call to fall in line.
By 6.30 everything must be in
shape and look in first class order.
That means not a single scrap of
paper can be allowed to lay undis
turbed. Not a tent peg must lean.
All personal equipment must be
where it belongs or at least care
fully concealed from a watchful
sergeant's eye.
Best of all comes the bugle note
that tells the boys, "Fall in line for
the kitchen, the cook has discovered
a bean in the soup." In this case it
isn't the kitchen and the walk across
the bridge to tv restaurant puts a
warranted edge on the appetite.
Three Hoijrs of "Dope"
Drill comes at 8 o'clock and from
then until 11 the boys get the
"dope" from the various officers that
will make them regulars In every
sense of the word. Again the call for
mess and the march across the
bridge. Until 2 o'clock they have a
short time to rest. From 2 until 5
they drill again. One-half hour of
that time is devoted exclusively to
military courtesy and the salutes.
The change of guard, the mess
again, assembly, the evening roll
call and at 10.30 the last smoky
lantern is blown out and the lone
sentries are left to trudge away and
think of what they will do when the
other fellow is on guard.
Sentries last evening got the first
taste of "the sludgy, squdg.v creek."
The fellows who were on duty last
evening claimed that Kipling's creek
was a mere trinkle compared with
the young rivers that coursed about
the island like so many Amazons.
The rookies also learned last night
that to touch a canvass when it is
loaded with water means that spot
is going to be a fine inlet for the
water. Some persisted in trying it
just to see if it would work and re
ports this morning, say it never fail
ed to produce the undesired results.
The call for the guardsmen to
muster into service took four men
from the police force. First Lieuten
ant Glenn Allison, left Saturday for
the machinegun company with head
quarters at Lancaster. His company
is part of the Fourth Regiment.
George Shoemaker is a second lieu
tenant in the Governor's Troop,
John, popularly known as "Pop"
Spangler, is a sergeant in the quar
termaster's corps, and Conrad
Blumenstine is a member of Com
pany I.
The ammunition supply company
recruited in this city and vicinity by
Harry Souders is still awaiting or
ders fcr a place to report. The com
pany is recruited to full strength and
very anxious to get in training. The
majority of the members of the
compan yare Harrisburg boys.
Wheat Crop Is Not
Damaged Yet, but More
Rain Will Ruin it
"The wheat crop has not been seri
ously hurt thus far by the wet weath
er," D. B. Brandt, of the Paxton Flour
and Feed Company, South Second
street, declared to-day. Mr. Branct
said: "If the warm, sunny and rainy
weather continues to alternate, it
will be damaging to the wheat crop.
The wheat will sprout in the shocks.
The only thing that la needed to
bring about a splendid crop Is breezy,
cool or warm weather."
The corn and oats crops are very
good this year, Mr. Brandt said. !
GAINS AND LOSSES
WELL DISTRIBUTED
Irregular Opening of Market Shows Signs ox Bear Pres
sure; United States Steel Responsive to Sup
port Gains a Point
By Associated Press
New York, July 17.—(Wall Street)
—Gains and losses Were q.ite, equal
ly distributed at the irregular open
ing of to-day's market, which con
tinued to show signs of bear pres
sure. United States Steel was respon
sive to suport, however, soon rising
a point with Crucible, American Lo
comotive, Marine, pfd., and Malting,
pfd. Metals, motors and some of the
less active specialties were reaction
ary at recessions of one to two
points. Rails were again featured by
Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and
Coalers at gains of fractions to a
point. Liberty Bonds repeated their
minimum of 98 for odd lots.
Early advances were not long
maintained, prices falling back with
U. S. Steel, which declined from
12114 to 120, other equipments and
war shares reacting in like degree.
The reversal was accompanied by
pessimistic statements regarding tho
immediate future of the steel indus
try. Motors also helped to unsettle
the list, Maxwell adding five points
to yesterday's loss and coppers were
affected by price uncertaintties. Ap
prehension as to money rates and
absence of public inquiry provided
additional adverse factors. Prices
improved again at noon, industrials,
rails and shipplns leading the recov
ery.
Bonds were steady, the Liberty is
sue selling at 99.40 to 99.43 for reg
ular lots.

DEFEAT NEEDED
TO STIR GERMANS
Deceived People Will Throw
Off Kaiser's Yoke
1 After War
New York, July 17. —A sweeping
victory by the Entente Allies, suffi
cient in its effect to arouse the Ger
man people to a realization that they
have been deceived, is the only thing
that will bring about a revolution
and the overthrow of the Hohen
zollerns, according to Professor Her
man Fernau, a German journalist
and author of J'accuse, a pamphlet
published in Switzerland at the be
ginning of the war. Fernau, now a
political refugee in Switzerland, is
quoted in an interview obtained by
the Swiss correspondent of the Russ
koye Slovo, the text of which was
received here yesterday by the Offi
cial French Bureau of Information.
"I consider a revolution in Ger
pany possible only in event of a
sweeping military victory by ths
Allies," Fernau says. "The fortress
of the Hohenzollerns is irfipregnable
in appearance only and it may crum
ble to pieces at an unexpected mo
ment The Socialists have been de
ceived, as have all others in Ger
many, by a continuity of official lies
since the beginning of the war, when
the German government announced
a French airplane raid on Nurem
burg and that Russian troops had
violated the frontier.
"Later on, the Socialists learned
they had been deceived, but they had
not the courage to change their at
titude. | The Socialist party in Ger
many is, moreover, a big capitalistic
business. They have $5,000,000 in
vested in various enterprises and
they control several thousand of
ficials and employes. The Social
Democrats prefer to lose their honor
rather than their money.
"On Aug. 2, 1914, Chancellor Von
Bethmann-Hollweg called all the
Socialist leaders in Ge-many into
conference and he told them bluntly,
'Either you wfll be with us or we
shall destroy your organizations. -
The Socialists decided to support the
government and continue their busi
ness.
"There is no doubt the repression
in Germany of any popular move
ment will be attended by terrible re
sults, and a revolution will be the
bloodiest that the world has ever
witnessed. This revolution, however,
will only come after a stinging de
feat, as only then will the people of
Germany be sufficiently indignant
against the Hohenzollerns and the
military caste."
