MAY GIVE IIP U-BOAT CHASERS Admiral Sims Believes Small Vessels to Be of Little Value Washington. Aug. 6. Abandon ment of its original program of build ing a great fleet of submarine chasers as rapidly as possible is contemplated by the Navy Department, and this action is considered the first step in shaping a new policy to meet the Ü boat menace. While it if> impossible to state the precise reasons prompting the depart ment, it is believed that Vice-Admiral ■iirns has reported that the method low followed by the British Navy will never dispose of the submarines, and that the General Board agreed with his recommendations. The department will contine to build destroyers with all speed, the Navy being "satisfied that this type of ship is of infinitely more value iij fighting submarines than the wooden chasers. Great Britain has thousands of the latter patrolling the war zone. The records show that while the patrols have assisted in holding the subsea campaign In check, they have not re duced it to any considerable degree, and there is no reason for believing that they can aver eliminate the sub marine as a serious military factor. No Time Now to Talk Peace, President Believes Washington, Aug. 7—President Wil son had a long conference yesterday with Senator Lewis, the Democratic whip, urged haste in the final enact ment of the food control bill artd rev enue bill, and is understood to have indicated that lie does not consider the present time opportune for dis cussion of peace negotiations with Germany.

Senator Lewis declared that the President would not allow the Amer ican people to lose any rights or suffer any wrongs which "his dili gence could prevent."

ALIENS MAY BE TAKEN IN NEW NATIONAL ARMY Exemption Boards Told to Accept Men Who Do Not Want to Be Exempt The following telegram regarding the enlistment of aliens was sent this v afternoon by Colonel Frank G. Sweeney, of the state registration office, for Governor Brumbaugh, to all of the 282 local boards through out .the state: "Reports reaching the office of the provost marshal general recently in dicate that in some quarters the be lief prevails that friendly aliens who have not declared their intention to become citizens but are ready and willing to serve are disqualified from entering the military service of the United States and therefore that they must take out first papers before I hey can be accepted. It is to be regretted that such a misunderstand ing should have arisen. The quali fications for voluntary enlistment in time of war are no more restricted from service in the new national army than for the. regular army. Such alien declarents are virtually volunteers. The selectivp service act provided for their registration, but it did not regard them as being un der any liability to serve, and it therefore gave them full privilege to claim exemption when called by the local board. Now that information reveals their wilinlgness in large numbers to decline this exemption and to accept service in this war against the common enemy of our civilzation it should be fully under stood that their service is heartily welcome and they should be ac cepted whenever on summons they fail to claim their right of exemp tion. They arc assisting the cause of their own country by aiding the United States to triumph in this war. The more of themt hat enter the service the better, for in this way will be removed the cause of dis satisfaction heard in some quarters that although the quota was based on total population including aliens, the actual draft reached only citi zens and declarents. Local boards are directed to facilitate in every way the acceptance of friendly aliens non-declarants for military service and thus enable them to do their share to assist the country which has given them refuge and an honor able living." County Board Ready Announcement was made at noon to-day that the second county dis trict board including the territory in the central part of Dauphin coun ty, will send out notices to-night to 316 men to report beginning next Monday morning, at the Paxtang schoolhouse when examinations will start. Other county boards have not decided when they will send out notices. The official quotas will prob ably be sent to the boards on Fri day or Saturday of this week, Colo nel Sweeney announced. Two More Examined The second district includes Swa tara. Lower Swatara, East, West,and South Hanover, Susquehanna, Derry, and Lower Paxton townships arid Hummelstown, Paxtang and Pen brook boroughs. The first city district board to day examined Lloyd F. Green, Ridgewood, N. J., and H. R. Stack house, Titusville. Yesterday Charles A. Lackford, New York, was exam ined. One of the three failed to pass the physical test, but the board would not say which one.

"The working people of Germany are doing all that they can to help their Govern ment to win the war. The working people of this country should do the same to help their Government." This assertion was made by Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Fed eration of I-abor, who spent a short time in Wilmington after having mo tored from Washington for a brief rest. In telling why American labor people would send no delegates to Stockholm, he said: "It is impracticable and positively injurious for any confere-.ces of the representatives of labor to be held in which delegates from all countries would be present. As I said in my cable to Johaux and Appleton, some thing more favorable must develop before such a conference is practical. I had in mind that the Kaiser and Prussianism must be crushed or that Kaisftrism and Prussianism shall sur render to the democracy and the civili zation of the world." Hidenburg Sees Victory and an Honorable Peace Berlin, Aug. 7.—Field Marshal von Hindenburg, in a telegram to the Im perial German chancellor on the fourth anniversary of the commence ment of the war, says: "Firmly consolidated in the interior and unshaken on all fronts, Germany braves the exasperating thrusts of her new enemies. "The German army is fighting far in the enemies' country and Is march ing with unbroken strength to new successes. It enters the fourth year of the war supported by confidence as firm as a rock that our home spirit and united perseverance will remain alive, whic,h is a guarantee of victory and of an honorable peace to our nation."

Fitzwater have been assigned to assist in recruiting at the local stai tion. The Eighth Regiment still noeds eighty men. Company B, at Tamaqua,, needs forty-five men and vacancies exist in several of the other companies. As soon as the Eighth is filled to war strength men wijl be recruited for the other Na tion Guard regiments.

"MOTHER SAYS POST TOASTIES ARE GOOD jdgi FORME ' AND I SURE ff- LIKE RED CROSS GETS NEW AUXILIARY National Surgical Dressings Committee Is Affiliated With It Washington, Aug. 00.—Ever since the Red Cross War Council was ap pointed by President Wilson, earnest efforts have been made to secure effective co-operation with the Red Cross by all the allied war relief or ganizations. The first important fruit of these efforts is the establishment of a working plan of co-operation with the National Surgical Dressings Committee. Henry P. Davison, chair man of the Red Cross War Council, to-day authorizes the following state ment: "The Red Cross is very much grati fied to be able to announce that the National Surgical Dressings Commit tee, one of the most important of the relief organizations called into being by the European War, has become an auxiliary of the American Red Cross. This arrangement was perfected after protracted negotiation between Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard. the organizer and chairman of the Surgical Dress ings Committee, and Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the Red Cross Committee on Co-operation. "It is believed that this is the pre cursor of arrangements to be made whereby other war relief organiza tions may become allies of the Red Cross and join with it in carrying a practical message of aid and relief among those of our own people and our allies who may be sick, wounded and suffering because of the war. Doing tirent Work "The National Dressings Committee has done a work. It has made and forwarded over 16,000,000 surgical (pressings for usp in over 1,500 hospitals on the con tinent of Europe. Its aim has been to prepare dressings with special reference to the particular needs in different localities, and its work has been handled with great efficiency and with splendid spirit. The com mittee has about 25,000 working members in different parts of the United States. "The arrangement with the Red Cross provides that the Surgical Dressings Committee shall retain its name and organization, and carry on its present work in the United States as a national auxiliary of the Red Cross. It may solicit funds in its own name, but no solicitation shall be made in the name of the Red Cross unless all the proceeds therefrom are turned over to the Red Cross organ ization. The committee will give full reports concerning its activities and finances to the Red Cross. "The Red Cross will seek to per fect the standards of materials sent abroad, and will disseminate among all chapters and organizations doing relief work information as to the na ture and quantity of materials and supplies most needed at the front. The Surgical Dressings Committee, in its work for American hospitals in Europe, will conform to such stand ards. "The French section of this com mittee will become the Surgical Service Department of the American National Red Cross. It will admin ister in France all the surgical dress ings work of the Red Cross, and will be in charge of Mrs. C. K. Austin, heretofore director in Paris of the French section of the Surgical Dress ings Committee. "The Red Cross seeks to encourage the efforts of all relief organizations. It is hoped that all such organiza tions, which are manufacturing mate rials for hospital or other relief work among our allies in Europe, may be come auxiliaries of the Red Cross, thus avoiding duplication. Such aux iliaries will retain their name and identity, the Red Cross will assist them In making their work effective, and with such affiliation the Red Cross will transport their materials to Europe free of charge, and see to it that such materials are properly distributed. "Many war relief organizations have solicited contributions in kind. Some of the articles solicited have been necessary; others, while given in a spirit of a fine generosity, have not necessarily been of great benefit. Yet other articles have been sent to Europe which were not needed at all. Kaiser Picked Ministers From Conservative Ranks By Associated Press Copenhagen, Aug. 7.—The new min isters In the German cabinet have been recruited largely from the con servative ranks, the Prussian under secretaries and heads of the provincial bureaucracy being traditionally of that political persuasion. Exceptions are the parliamentarians Von KVause, national vice-president of the Prus sian diet, who, however, belongs to the conservative wing of that party, and Dr. Peter Spahn, the aged Cath olic leader whose health is so poor that it is doubtful whether he will be able to stand the strain of ministerial labors.
