STATE BOARD
NOT ALTER DRAFT
QUOTAS, SWEENEY
Registration Official Replies
to Query About District
Allotments
"The State Registration Board has
no authority to change any of the
district quotas without explicit direc
tions from Washington to do so." was
Colonel Sweeney's reply to a query as
tt> whether or not Congressman Cos
tello's request would be granted for
a reduction of the quota of his dis
trict.
Congressman Costello came to Har
risburg from Philadelphia yesterday
with the assertion that his district
had responded more generously to
the call for volunteers than surrouna
ing districts but that the others were
reaping advantages therefrom by rea
son of the fact that the enlistment
credits were applied to the city as a
whole, instead of to the individual
districts in the parceling out of dis
trict quotas. He asked that his dis
trict be given full credit for the num
ber of its enlistments, which would
have reduced to some degree the
draft quota required of it.
Explains Allotment
"Washington's interpretation of the
law." said Colonel Sweeney, is that
the district quotas shall be reckoned
on the basis of credits in counties
and in cities over 30,000 population.
If one ward in a city or one borough
or township in a county has sent
more men to the military service than
another the fact is unknown to us.
Washington gave us the credits by
counties and cities and then instruct
ed to reckon district quotas on that
basis in proportion to registration,
and this we have done. We have no
voice in the interpretation of the law
as to credits. That is solely up to
Washington and any change in cred
its must be orderad by Washington.
The State Registration Boards do not
interpret the law. Their duty is to
administer it as ordered by Wash
ington."
Both the district boards of Cumber
land county will meet at Carlisle to
examine those selected for the Na
tional army. The members of the
boards are: District No. I—Dr. Har
vey Basehore, West Fairview; Jacob
S. Meily, Mechanicsburg; Abram Se!-
ber, Mechanicsburg; District No. 3
Alfred Greenwood, sheriff, Carlisle;
David G. Bishop. Carlisle; Dr. J.
J. Bruce McCreary, Shippensburg.
Denies Slacker Report
Harvey T. Smith, deputy United
States marshal, denied to-day the re
port that Franklin county has 2.000
slackers, men of draft age who failed
to register. The report was issued
after the registration lists were com
pared with the county's military roll.
Mr. Smith said, and while there are
2,000 more names on the county roll
than on the registration schedule, lie
said the deficiency is due to deaths,
duplications, antique methods of tak
ing the county enrollment and enroll
ment of men without the age limit.
Investigations have been made, he
said, showing that there are not more
than one hundred suspected slackers
in the county. Those have not been
verified, as were the other 1,900 anff
they too may be found to be errone
ous, the official stated.
Chicago Physician Will
Permit Another Baby to Die
Chicago, July 24.—Dr. H. J. Haisel
don, who let Baby Bollinger die be
cause nature had made a mistake, has
again decreed that nature Bhall be al
lowed to rectify her own errors. He
has decreed death for the infant
daughter of William and Mrs. Eva
Meter, of West Pullman.
When the child was born, the at
tending physician directed that Pr.
Haiseldon be balled and said he
would abide by the doctor's decision.
Dr. Haiseldon examined the child and
liis decision was for death. The child's
upper skullcap was missing. A di
minutive brain which seemed to
promise imbecility was covered only
by a thin, transparent membrane.
SIBERIA MAKESCLAIM
FOR WAR INDEMNITY

lect with six per cent. Interests, debtg
estimated at 120,000.000 crowns.
Failure to pay Is stated to be pen
alized by sale of property at ridicu
lous auction figures which allows
the invaders to make immensely
profitable purchases of large stocks
of goods. In addition many shops
have been pillaged and trade has
fallen off at least one-half.
"By such arbitrary measures to
ward our merchants and by mean 3
of this legalized pillage, the military
authorities have attempted to ruin
our trade." the note says. "Austrian
and German firms will take the
places of the ruined Serbians and
will so bring about the denationali
zation of Serbian commerce."
Plunder Buildings
All private houses abandoned by
their owners, including the royal
palaces, are stated to have been
plundered under theory that thev
were "unowned property" because
the owner was absent. The national
and the ethnographical museums are
reported to have been completely
ransacked by the Austrians; the na
tional library, the University library
of Nish, and the library of the school
of theology at Prizzen by the Bul
garians. Books, manuscripts, and
art works were stated to have been
carried away as booty.
"The Bulgarians," •it is stated,
"have plundered to such an extent
and with such effrontery as to be
unexampled in modern warfare."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
DRIVE TO PUT
CITY IN LEAD
Captain Harrell Starting Cam-J
paign to Aid Postmasters j
Get Recruits
Captain Harrell this morning
started an active campaign to place
Harrisburg first in the list of cities
for the number of recruits secured
by postmasters. In a list issued yes
terday by the War Department, At
lanta, Ga.. held first place. "Will
you help to put Harrisburg first?" is
the introduction of a circular letter
that is being sent to every postmas
ter in the Harrisburg district.
Since Captain Harrell has taken
charge of the local station he has
never missed an opportunity, no
matter how small, to secure recruits.
Postmasters in small towns difficult
of access to men in the uniform of a
regular, have proved to be a great
aid in the securing or recruits. Al
though men in unform are used for
recruiting whenever possible, post
masters have been able to do better
service than other men not in uni
form. This morning C. W. Ruben
dall, postmaster at Millersburg, and
J. K. Hancock, postmaster at Wil
liamstown, brought a squad of re
cruits to the station and report many
move expected enlistments before
the names of the eligibles are posted
at their respective towns.
Captain Harrell is having dupli
cate copies made of a letter sent by
a Blairsville recruit from Columbus,
Ohio, where he was sent from the
local station. The young man tells
how his preconceived ideas of mili
tary life were changed after he be
came accustomed to the routine of
the work. Instead of the iron-hand
snobs he had believed army officers
to bo he found them not only officers
but gentlemen in every sense of the
word. The hard and fast rules that
he had-feared, he discovered to be
nothing more than obedience to only
those whose judgment could not
be questioned.
Want Infantry Men
Men at the office have been busy
during the last few weeks persuad
ing others to enlfst in the infantry of
their physique meet the requirements
for fighting men. While vacancies
exist in the ambulance and medical
corps, men are shown .the advan
tages of being a foot soldier. Men
who stand in constant danger when
in active service yet at the same time
are the men who take "a fighting
man's chance with death" as Cap
tain Harrell calls the chance an in
fantryman takes in a charge.
Yesterday's enlistments were: Ed
ward L. Wanbaugh, 618 North Sec
ond street, medical department; Lin
wood W. Wanbaugh, 618 North Sec
ond, medical department; George
W. Bell, 745 South Nineteenth,
medical department; Edward H.
Long, 1205 Walnut, infantry; Rob
ert B. Brown, 1255 Mulberry, in
fantry: Matthew G. Ryan, 1609 Sus
quehanna, infantry, all this city;
John A. Vernon, 227 Walnut, Steel
ton, infantry; James W. Burns,
West Broad, Williamstown, infantry.
Expect to Complete
Laying of Big Main in
Walnut Street Soon
Officials of the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company expect that
work on the new 18-inch steam main
in Walnut street will be completed
by the end of this week. If ;con
ditions prevent the whole job from
Third and Second street from being
finished, the section from Third to
Court street will be finished. The
new main is one of the largest laid
in the city and was made necessary
owing to the increase in business
'and in order to provide better pres
sure. During the course of the op
erations rain delayed the work for
days at a time and large boards had
to be placed in position to prevent
dirt from falling on the workmen
in the trench.
As soon as the work has been fin
ished the company will replace an
old six-inch main in Second street
from Walnut to Strawberry with a
new ten-inch main and from Walnut
to Locust streets with a 15-inch
main. It is expected that the work
will be completed sooner as there is
less traffic congestion in Second
street than in Walnut.

Kane in "Whose Wife."
After three weeks of musical corri
edy the vaudeville bill at the Paxtang
Park theater this week
The Rill proves a refreshing en
ut Pastung tertainment. Espe and
Dutton appear in a most
interesting skit with special scenery
and accessories in which they do some
wonderful athletic work interspersed
with comedy that constantly aroused
the mirth of an appreciative audience.
The Georgolas Trio, who are billed as
America's greatest pistol and rifle
shots, gave an extraordinary exhibi
tion of marksmanship. .If their skill
is a sample of American ability to
shoot, the Kaiser certainly has some
cause to worry for the Georgolas
never miss anything they aim at with
a gun.
Alexander and Fields, the two
American hoboes succeeded in keep
ing the park audience in excellent
humor with a grotesque comedy offer
ing. Mabel Mac Donald, the fashion
plate songbird, is most pleasing both
to look at and to listen to. Bicknell,
the clay modeler, offers an act that is
artistic as well as interesting.
This week the fireworks display will
be given at the park on Friday even
ing. An entire change in the pyro
technical program is promised.
Admirers of Pauline Frederick will
have an opportunity of seeing their
favorite in the pro-
I'liullue Frederick Auction "Her Better

by Thomas Meighan.
The story reaches > its climax in a
cojrt, with the hero in danger of be

noceht and the heroine rushing to the
scene in a smart motor car. One of
the machine's tires is in league with
the plot, for it blows out during the
trip to court and delays the heroine
