TRANSFER OF
FUNDS VISED
BY COUNCIL
Money Will Be Used by Park
Department; Accept
Tax Report
Council to-day approved the trans
fer of funds created for the payment
of the salary of a city forester, land
scape designing and completion of
the city's tree survey upon the re
quest of Commissioner Gross. The
total amount was $1,350.
The park superintendent offered
no explanation of his action, asking
in the resolution that SSOO of the
money be added to the fund for the
maintenance of Wildwood Park and
SBSO to the general contingent fund
for the department. Early in the
year Commissioner Gross announced
that he intended to have Council
adopt the State shade tree law and
apply it locally. This would have
meant the establishment of a shad£
tree commission in tlie city and
would have assured adequate pro
tection for the trees. Action has
been delayed repeatedly, due to va
cancies of Council, Commissioner
Gross said, with the result that little
attention has been given to this im
portant work.
With the transfer of the tree sur
vey fund • this work, started last
year, will not be completed until next
year.

WAR TAXING
RESOURCES OF
AIDS SOCIETY
Slackening of Moral Fiber
Makes Much More Work
For Organization
That the present war has greatly
taxed the work and resources of the
Associated Aids Society was plainly
shown in an interview with John
Yates, general secretary of the soci
ety, this morning.
Mr. Yates said:
"There is a slackening of moral
fiber in wartime, which makes in
creased work for the society. The
funds have about been expended for
charity purposes and the society did
not take advantage of the Red Cross
campaign to solicit donations. It de
cided that such a move would be
unpatriotic and deemed it advisable
to take care of needs of the Red
Cross before the home work. Har
risburg charity has suffered much on
account of the war. The Boy Scout
campaign, the Red Cross campaign
and the Liberty Loan campaign have
caused a decrease in the donations to
the Associated Aids to an alarming
extent. The work of the society can
not be curtailed without seriously
crippling effectiveness. The extraor
dinary conditions prevailing through
out the country have increased the
need at home of the Associated Aids.
"Desertions have greatly Increased
in the city and the crippling of the
Associated Aids means the removal
of the one sure protection for such
women and will in turn increase the
evil. The country at present Is vitally
interested in the moral conditions.
The morale of the nation is as im
portant as the morale of the troops
and whatever agency tends to harden
the moral fiber of the nation is indis
pensible. The disabling of institutions
caring for the poor would be a real
der canvas.
The cost of running the society for
all branches of the work is more than
$1,200 a month. More than one hun
dred children are now being cared"
for by the Associated Aids. Some of
the children are being cared for in
private homes while others ape wholly
dependent upon the society. A girls
camp is now being maintained at
Lambs Gap. Sixteen children are un
der convas.
Divorced Woman Has Not

Chicago, Aug. 7. —A divorced wo

like pepsin but instead neutralizes
or transforms the poisonous biting
acid that has formed in your stom
ach and is causing you misery.
Your digestive machinery, relieved
of the hampering acid accumula
tion does its work without trouble.
So remarkable is the action of
bisurated magnesia in stopping
stomach distress that as a rule the
worst pain, burning or sour sensa
tion will vanish within five minutes
from the time it reaches the stom
ach. Any dyspeptic or stomach
sufferer can prove this easily with
a single trial and with perfect
safety as bisurated magnesia is
harmless and in tills form is not a
laxative.
Get a little Bisurated Magnesia
from your druggist and try it at
your very next meal and forget all
fear of indigestion.

NICHOLAS KEPT 80,000
SECRET SERVICE SPIES
[Continued From First Page.]
number of these secret legionaries of
autocracy is expected to reach 80,000.
Those whose guilt is beyond doubt
have been put in Jail, but It is not
yet settled whether they will be tried
and punished or merely kept in Jail
until all peril of a reactionary coun
i ter-revolution has passed.
The commission's reports depict
precisely the same system of espion
age and state provocation to crime as
flourished in Turkey under Abdul
Hamid 11. The distinction is that
Abdul Hamid run his spy and provo
cation system directly from the Yil
diz Kiosk, whereas Nicholas en
trusted his system to the notorious
"Okhrannoe Otdielenieu" or security
department, which occupied a build
ing in the Basil Ostrov district.
Hold Old HeronU
The revolutionists also seized tens
of thousands of secret records in the
department's provincial offices, and
from these, backed by confessions of
I imprisoned spies, are being compiled
the lists,' The lists will be followed
j by a five-volume official "history of
i espionage under Nicholas II." As re
! vealed by these documents, autocra
| cy's spies and informers were much
I less picturesque and romantic than
j they appear in the typical nihilist
novel. Most belonged to the more in
j tellijfent working class or to the
i minor bourgeoise. They were paid
badly, tha average wage for organ
izing political crime or betraying ac
complices being S2O a month. The
spies were usually instructed to be
come members of secret revolutionary
or terrorist organizations, among
these being the social democratic
party, the social revolutionaries with
their "fighting committee," the popu
list socialists and the Maximtlists.
Spiew on Nennpupern
On nearly every newspaper was at
least one spy. The spies took part
in cominentions cited to breach of
political repression laws or to actual
crime and kept the security depart
ment well informed. Every spy had
a "Klitchka" or nickname to which
he was known to the police. The de
partment's records bristle with such
nicknames as "Fatty", "Long Nose",
"Sunday Boy", "Elephant" and "Ar
senic". The spy also has two or
three faked surnames, and he often
changed his town and name whJn he
fell under the revolutionaries' suspi
cion. Many spies and informers (like
the famous Father Gapon, whose
treachery on Bloody Sunday, 1905, led
to his being hanged by a revolutionist
engineer), were at one time genuine
revolutionaries and became later be
trayers and informers.
Served Iloth Sides
Some seem to have served both sides
honestly and earned the approval of
both and some do not seem to have
known which side they sympathized
I with. A notable case is "Trukha
noft"—real name Nikitin, nickname
"Perky"—who aroused the suspicion
of his terrorist comrades, was threat
ened by them with execution, and, to
rehabilitate himself, was obliged to
kill the gendarme officer with whom
he collaborated. 'The murder of Grand
Duke Sergius in Moscow in Febru
ary, 1905, was due to the same motive.
Shot Too Well
The organization of crime, with the
aim of discrediting nonterrorist po
litical associations and frightening
Nicholas into repression, went on on
a great scale. For blood money of
$l5O a mechanic was hired by the
department to fire at General DJu
| kowski, governor of Moscow, but he
I was instructed to be sure to miss. He
executed his instructions precisely,
' but through carelessness killed a
| passerby.
In violation of the Nihilist novel
tradition very few women were em
ployed as spies or informers, but a
few noted cases have been exposed,
in Moscow three sisters named Palit-
I sin betrayed scores of workmen, after
• vetting confessions from them by
means of simulating love.
I The commission's lists show that
'the department was a hard taskmas
ter. In addition to paying Its spies
badly It spied on them.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
ENGINE ORDERS
SHOW DECREASE
Railroads Await Action of the
United States Government;
Motive Power Scarce
New York. Aug. 7.—July railroad
equipment business again reflected
the pall that came over the market
with the prospect that the United
States would purchase 100,000 freight
cars and 5,000 locomotives with which
to relieve freight congestion.
Orders taken by equipment com
panies during the month just closed
were valued at $36,470,000, compared
with $38,974,000 in June and $110,000,-
000 in May.'
Domestic car buying has almost
come to a halt. American railroads
have adopted an attitude of waiting
for the Government to act on its plan
for buying equipment and renting the
cars and locomotives on a per diem
basis. Until this matter is settled
one way or another the equipment
market is expected to be inactive.
The delay in placing orders is due
to the fact that the Railroad War
Board, which suggested the plan, has
not been able to find a branch of the
Government willing to stand for the
expenditure.
During June orders for 524 locomo
tives, 3,260 freight cars and 175.000
tons of rails were placed. Not a sin
gle passenger car was ordered in the
past month.
July Engine Order*
Contracts for locomotives in July
were the feature. Orders for 524 en
gines were placed. The Russian order
for 500 locomotives, which was report
ed in June, was officially signed in
July. This order was included in the
June aggregate. The United States
Government Is preparing for the task
of moving its troops in France.
During July orders for 300 locomo
tives were placed by the American
Government. There are to be used
by the American troops. Another
large order in July was for 100 en
gines for the British Government. The
leading domestic contract came from
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
calling for 100 locomotives.
The shortage of motive power is
one of the most pressing problems
that confronts .the large railroads.
The leading builders of engines are
booked full over all of 1018 and al
ready some of the roads have placed
orders for 1918 delivery.
Fewer South American orders for
locomotives were reported in July.
It is stated, however, by builders that
inquiries from South America con
tinue active, but inability to afford
the deliveries desired resulted in
keeping down the business.
Killing of Live Stock
on Railroads Is Costly
J. H. Elliott, general manager of
the Texas and Pacific, has issued a
public plea for the enactment of laws
in Texas and Louisiana to prohibit
live stock from running at large. Mr.
| Elliott says hU road killed enough
live stock in the last fiscal year to
provide sufficient meat to feed an
army of 100,000 men ten days. The
record shows 1,027 cattle, 552 hogs
and sheep and 163 horses and mules
killed; an absolute waste.
Many of the cattle were milch
cows, the loss of which entailed a
corresponding loss of butter and milk,
he adds. Our armies are clamoring
for horses and mules, and thousands
and thousands of them are required.
The r)Oad has spent large sums of
money in building and repairing
fences, and has educated its employes
to do their utmost to prevent the
killing of stock; but the waste cannot
be stopped without the hearty co-op
eration of the public and the owners
of stock. Many of the animals are
killed inside station limits, where
railroads cannot build fences.
I.ABOH STII.Ii SCARCE
Pennsylvania Railroad scouts are
still on the hunt for laborers. Agents
have scoured the country. Men are
needed in the shops, roundhouses, on
the tracks, and in various capacities.
It is understood that an agreement
has been reached by which the rail
road company will get the laborers
now employed at the Gettysburg and
Mt. Gretna military camps, at the close
of their present contracts.
CONCRETERS MAKE HEADWAY
Concreters at work on the founda
tions and buildings for the new
freight sheds in South Harrisburg
have been making satisfactory pro
gress. Heavy rains have interfered
with the excavations and some of the
sections flooded, but with the aid of
pumps working hard, the men have
been able to get the work advanced.
NEW TUBES IN OPERATION
The pneumatic tubes at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Station have under
gone a number of satisfactory tests
and are in operation. Three tubes run
I from the main office of the office of the
dispatcher to stationmaster's office,
baggagerooms and mailrooms on the
first floor. Messenger boys will not be
required to carry important orders.
They will be placed in a carrier and
sent to their destinations through the
tubes.

To Manufacturers and Distributors
who seek South American and
Southern Business
• I
Savannah is one of the largest ports of export on
the Atlantic Coast, and the fastest growing important
seaport in the United States, because of the advantages
it offers as a manufacturing and distributing centre
for the South and South America.
Situate on the Southeastern coast, with a mag
nificent harbor, and direct and ample rail connections
to the South and Middle West, it is getting a large
share of the rapidly increasing foreign and domestic
business of the important territory it serves.
Labor is plentiful.
Shipping facilities by rail and water are abundant.
This Company offers very exceptional advantages
for the establishment on its property, just outside of
Savannah, of manufacturing, assembling and dis
tributing plants.
The Port Wentworth Terminal comprises some
three thousand acres with nearly two miles of frontage
on tide water. It is on the line of the Savannah &
Atlanta Railway, which serves not only as a connection
with all other roads entering Savannah but which
through advantageous traffic arrangements with the
Georgia Railroad forms the short line to Atlanta and
the Middle West.
Industries located on the Terminal already in
operation or about to become active are:
The Savannah Sugar Refinery (annual output 150,000 tons).
Port Wentworth Lumber Co. (annual cut 36,000,000 fjj.).
Atlantic Paper and Pulp Co. (annual output 15,000 tons).
Terry Shipbuilding Co. (controlled by Terry & Tench, now
laying down 70,000 tons of shipping for the U. S. Government).
The properties of the Savannah Warehouse and Comprefs
Company and of the Globe Mfg, and Barrell Co. are just below
the terminal.
The Diamond Match Company plans to erect a plant near
the Terminal property.
Other large industrial undertakings are nego
tiating for sites. Homes for workmen and their
families are constructed as required, on an attractive
space reserved for the purpose and fully laid out by
Chas. W. Leavitt, well known as an expert in the
planning of industrial towns.
Engineers of this corporation will gladly confer
with Executives as to the specific advantages a seaport
warehouse or branch plant at Savannah might offer
to the business under consideration.

Her husband sees it. She realizes it
herself with a pang. Often she

her and makes it almost impossible
for her to drag around from day to

there is one tried and true remedy
for their condition, and that Lydia.
