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 would not discuss
the latter phase of his conference,
but it was believed the President In
dicated that he did not consider Ger
many's recent peace feelers to be
genuine and that he can be expected
to inform the country when he be
lieves the time has come for discuss
ing peace.
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."

The ringing of fire bells and

the citizens of Harrisburg the exact
time when the soldiers will leave.
Fininshing touches were placed

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

ined. One of the three failed to

Another Red Cross
Auxiliary Is Formed
Five members of the Harrisburg
Chapter of the American Red Cross
Society visited Blain, Perry county,
to-day, to organize an auxiliary to
the local branch. The live members
to make the trip were; Mrs. Henry
Gross, Mrs. E. H. Downey, Miss Kuth
Hilling, Miss Jennie George and Mrs.
Charles Uttley.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the society was held at head
quarters, 206 Walnut street, yesterday
afternoon. It was decided to give re
freshments to tropa passing through
the city when they lay over at the
local station. A committee to have
charge of this will be appointed with
in the next few days.
The local society distributed 871
comfort kits to local soldiers now in
the National Guard. The latest troops
to be given the kits are Compitny C,
of Chambersburg, sixty-eight, and the
Machine Gun Company, forty-seven.
A report of the activities of the
chapter from April to July 31 was
read. More than 44,000 articles of use
in field and hospital surgical work
have been made. Twenty-five aux
iliaries have also been organized.
Gompers Says Labor
Must Beat Germans
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 7. "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."

Privates Robert E. Owen and T.
C. 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.
Since the opening of the aviation
corps to local men who wish to train
to become operators if they can
qualify that branch of the service
has proved to be the most popular.

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

that it is doubtful whether he will be
able to stand the strain of ministerial
labors. He collapsed and fainted in
a Reichstag committee meeting re
