FOR TROOP CAMP
Ten to Be Built to Store Sup
plies For Pennsylvania
Soldiers
Augusta, Aug. 9.—Work has been
started on the ten big wooden ware
houses by the side of the Georgia
Railroad spur tracks near Camp Han
cock. The structures will be used as j
storehouses for supplies for the Penn
sylvania troops.
These warehouses will be one story
high, sixty feet wide and 190 feet
long.
Tlie contract for th.? electrical wir
ing. lights, etc., at Cemp Hancock
has been let to the Vnitney-McNeil
'Electric Company and all of the other
electrical contractors in the city are
associated with this firm. Mr. McNeil
stated Monday that there would be
between 400 and 500 poles erected,
there would be between 85 and 100
large street arc lamps and approxi
mately 10,000 small incandescent
lights.
A large number of the poles have 1
been ordered from the Western Elec- I
trie Company and are chestnut poles, |
which are being shipped from North]
Carolina mountains.
Major Strickler is very well pleased j
with the progress of the work. The
work in the artillery section is be
tween sixty and eighty per cent, com
plete and within tlie next week this
entire section will probably be ready
for the reception of men.
There is no truth in the report that
some of the Pennsylvania Guardsmen
will be here during the next day or
two. The first expected are engineers;
to help complete the camp. The time 1
of their arrival is unknown.
Captain Graves, of the quartermas
ters reserve corps, of St. Louis. Mo.,
who in civil life is an attorney, has
arrived in the city to assist in the
cainp work. Captain Graves will look
especially after claims.
E. Tomlinson. general secretary ot
the V. M. C. A., at Wilmerding, Pa.,
has arrived in the city to take up
his work as director of the Y. M. C. A.
activities for CamV Hancock.
The plan of work is interesting.
"With each division of six thousand
troops there will be a V. M. C. A. tent.
A tent secretary and five assistants
will direct the work of each of these
tents. To properly take care of the
work for Camp Hancock it will re
quire about forty men, and Tomlinson
has these men lined up ready for
work when camp opens.
The men who have arrived and are
working with Mr. Tomlinson are:
George B. Landis, educational work
secretary for the state Y. M. C. A. of
Pennsylvania; Mr. Landis directs the
educational work for over 10.000 men

"Poor Nerves" writes: "Is It pos
sible to find a medicine which by its
tonic or nutritive powers will bring
the glow of health and ambition back
to a man who has everything in the
world but health and happiness? I
am dull, fgorgetful. despondent, weak,
trembling, short of breath and suffer
more or less with pain in spine and

Answer: Your condition Indicates
the need of a strong, harmless tonic
nutritive to restore nerve equilibrium,
which in turn fortifies and strength
ens the organs of nutrition, thus
vitalizing the blood and promoting
new cell and tissue to take care of
the waste forces. Three-grain cado

i Hear Instructive Addresses ut
Masonic Homes
Meeting
At the suggestion and through the
efforts of B. Monroe Posten, poul
tryman of the egg nirm of the Ma
sonic Home, and S. H. Imboden,
head farmer of the homes, a poul
trymen's picnic was neid in the pic
nic grove of the Masonic Homes
grounds, near the poultry plants, on
Thursday, August J.
Many ot the serious business prob
lems which controm the pouiirymeu
in these times ot nigh cost ot every
thing, pertaining to tne business
with their demoralising effect upon
the business was tne impelling
cause for this gathering in order
that a free discussion might be ha.i
by those most interested, of the best
means of meeting tlie issue and
solving the problem.
Many of the best poultrymen of
Pennsylvania were present. Among
the number being l-obert EastwicK,
of Bracside farms, Stroudsburs;
Lewis i Sprecher, ot Hohrerstown; j
Lutz brothers, of Middietown; Pro
lessor T. T. McGrew, head of the
poultry department ot the Scranton
schools; Professor H. C. Knandel, ot
State College; Professor W. Theo
dore Witman, of Mont Gretna; Dr.
E. W. Garber, of Mount Joy, P. VV.
DeLancey, of York, editor of the
Poultry Press, and Gulllott brothers,
of Bushkill. Othere were present
from Palmyra, Lititz, Harrisburg,
Maytown and Ellzabetlitown.
Instructive Address
The addresses were all interesting
and instructive, with special atten
tion to the needs ot the day. it was
pointed out that the increase in the
cost of labor and everything con
nected with the business, having ad
vanced in cost 10 per cent., there I
was no profit in the business, every
one engaged in it, desiring to give
it up, and already 50 per cent, of
them have done so.
It was recommended to adopt
the motto the three C's: cash, co
operation and combination, and to!
employ them in both buying andj
selling.
While the addresses were deliv
ered in the grove, a free for all dis-:
cussion took place a t the laying
houses of the farm, where Prof.
Knandel described the methods and !
picked out the best laying hens. The
results corresponding with the rec
ords kept of the same.
The picnic was greatly enjoyed oy
all who were present, and appre
ciated by all for its promises of
future benefit.
The poultry plant of the Masonic
Homes has grown to considerable
proportions. It is ideally situated
on the southern exposure of a wood
ed hillside and is equipped with all
the modern appliances for the pur
pose. Extensive colony houses, a
number of brooder houses, each
with its heating appliances, and an
incubator of 3,000 eggs capacity.
Three thousand eggs were hatched
last spring, and there are besides
1,400 yearling hens. An average of
600 eggs are obtained daily.
The product of the poultry farm
is in constant demand, and since
the introduction of the parcel pose,
the demands for the shipment of
eggs, by this process has reached
large proportions.
A record kept for 150 days gives
these interesting facts: 84,185 eggs
laid. 75 tons of water and 16 tons
of feed consumed by the chickens.

iEDITOR TELLS
WHY HE QUIT
THE SOCIALISTS
Antiwar Attitude of Party a
Menace, Says Chester
M. Wright
(Jleveland, Aug. 9.—Chester M.
Wright, former managing editor of
The New York Call, to-day declared
that his resignation from the So
cialist party was brought about by
the attitude of the party toward the
war and toward the trade union
movement.
"Since America entered the war I
have not considered myself u party
Socialist, and it now is some time
since my actual resignation was ten
dered," he said. "But long before
the war I was in conflict with the
party majority on the question of
the pKv'ty's attitude toward the or
ganized labor movement, and it was
after failure to secure modification
of the position on that question that
I resigned as managing editor of
i The New York Call.
"T'o-day, of course, the war is the
paramount issue. I cannot remain
with any movement that is not loyal
to the cause of America in this
crisis. Because of that the Socialist
party means to me to-day an organ
ization whose purpose and effort are
exactly in opposition to everything
In which I believe.
"I believe the Socialist party now
is the greatest block in the path of
progress toward democracy and so
cialism that we have in America. In
every essential Influence it is anti
social.
Party lias Failed
Socialists have prided themselves
on their ability to analyze world
movements and to understand so
cial forces. Hut. In the supreme test,
they have failed, abjectly and com
pletely, so far as the party is con
cerned.
"I believe Socialists will agree it
has been the Socialist contention
that about the best we could do
was to assist evolution. We could
not compel evolution, we could open
people's eyes to it. We could make
the way easier by lessening the op
position.
"To-day all the social forces in the
world are unchained in the greatest
evolutionary drive the world has
ever known and the American So
cialist party makes bold to hurl its
weight against evolution, as an un
sophisticated young bull might hurl
himself at a locomotive.
"As I see it, this war is compress
ing into a massive but monetary
convulsion that which might be the
natural evolution of 100 years. It
is driving the world in a eylonic rush
toward the very things for which
Socialists have clamored. I cannot i
understand why the true Socialist i
wishes to even make the effort to 1
stop progress toward that which he
has professed most to desire.
"The only reason presenting itself
to me is that like that old victim ot
optical illusion, the party Socialists
to-day are in a position where they
"cannot see the woods for trees.' The
wreckage of reaction is crashing
down about us so rapidly that, to
my mind, none who really wishes
progress can fail to be gratified. It
is only by a clearing away of old j
institutions, old forms, old impedi
ments. that we make way for new.
The old is going fast just now.
Friend of German Cause
"By its attitude the Socialist party
has placed itself in the position of
being a friend of the German cause.
It doesn't matter what the motives
may have been; it is the fact that
counts. And the fact is that the So
cialist party of America is opposing
the cause of America, and befriend
ing the cause of Germany. To re
main with an organization that fos
ters and further, however unwitting
ly, the most autocratic reactionary,
bloodthirsty and criminal cause on
earth, is impossible. And for a So
cialist to proclaim his friendship for
progress while helping such a cause i
of reaction as that of Kaiserism |
passes understanding.
"Let me make this clear: I am j
heart and soul with the cause of la- j
bor and democracy, a cause so bound j
up in the fortune of this war that
to desert the cause of America would !
be to desert everything that the nor
mal heart holds dear and that the i
normal mind clings to. ' ' I
"The world to-day is psychol
ogized for democracy. Democracy is
the household word of the world.
And every shot fired on the allied
front, as it tears away the defenses
of autocracy, helps erect the founda
tions for more democracy than earth
has ever known. The Socialist party
ought to know enough about psy
chology to perceive something of
what this world cry for democracy
portends; it ought to know enough
about evolution to see in which di
rection we are moving. If it does
not know it only proves what some
have suspected—that the movement
never has bean a real Socialist move
ment; that it never has fitted Amer-1
ican conditions and the American
people, and that sooner or later it
would* have to give way before some
more native effort.
"In New York some of us tried to
bring the party to the position in
which we believed it belonged, but
It was of no avail. I was convinced
then that further relation with the
party was to be impossible, but, hop
ing against hope, awaited the St.
Louis convention. That convention
blasted the future of the Socialist
party in America finally and for
good. It is feeding now in its last
upon the rotten Teutonic fester
on our body politic, as gruesome a
sight as American political history
has ever afforded, I believe.
"I am out of the Socialist party
because I am an enemy of the cause
that party has espoused: and be
cause that party has become an
enemy of human freedom in the
hour of freedom's greatest need. It
doesn't matter what motives the
party may have had in taking its
anti-American, anti-democratic po
sition, It is the hideous fact that
counts."

HAJUFUSBURG Ofil£& TELEGRAPH
NORTHERN LIGHTS
GRIP ALL WIRES
Great Display Makes Com
munication Almost Im
possible For Hours
! By Associated Press
Chicago, Aug-. 9. —The Aurora Ho
realis, or Northern Lights, interrupted
w ire communication over the northern
half of the United States and all of
Canada from the Rocky Mountains to
the Atlantic Ocean, and even was felt
in southern latitudes last night and
for several hours early to-day.
The display of the Aurora in Colo
rado was described as particularly
brilliant, many persons believing the
blood-red appearance of the northern
sky was caused by forest flres. A
dispatch from Denver quoted Prof.
H. A. Howe, of the Department of As
tronomy of Denver University, as
saying that such a display had never
been observed before in Colorado, to
his knowledge.
The disturbance began soon after
11 o clock, affecting wires between
New York and Atlanta.
The most serious disturbance was
from 1.11 a. m. to 1.45, when the wires
cleared for a few minutes but soon
afterward the waves again gripped
them and continued half an hour,
when the wires began to clear. Offi
cials of the Western Union Telegraph
Company said that fully 90 per cent,
of the wire facilities of the country
eact of Chicago had been temporarily
put out of commission.

Germans Invent Ruse
to Withdraw Big Guns
Paris, Aug. 9. The French of
noes announce that the Germans have
invented a new ruse to lull their op
ponents into the belief that artillery
batteries are still In position for ac
tion. when actually they have been
withdrawn, and by it to prevent un
timely advances.
The device consists of a mechanism
fitted with half a dozen globular cap
sules filled with an explosive which
is placed on the site of the flattery to
be or being withdrawn. The cap
sules explode every thirty to forty
seconds, with a sound exactly like
that of a field gun heard from a dis
tance. They are said to lead a listener
into thinking that he is still facing
artillery.

WILSON TO GIVE
OUTLINE OF WAR
PURPOSES SOON
President Determined Fight
ing Blood of the Nation
Shall Be Aroused
Washington, Aug. 9.—President
Wilson will seek an opportunity
shortly to address the American
people on present conditions of the
war with Germany. Mr. Wilson is
keenly alive to the fact that slight
apathy in this country over tho war
has not yet been turned m'o en
thusiasm.
Senators and other Democratic
leudcrs who have conferred with the
President recently have ur.-cca him
t<' make some statement to the peo
ple which will satisfy the parents
r.f the young men who have boon
drafted for the war and who are not
>ec satisfied with the reasons why
this country is in .he conflict. Now
that the food administration bill has
been passed a number of ,::n'oi3
will introduce resolutions to serve
as the excuse for addresses on the
possibilities of peace.
President Wilson does not favor
peace at this moment. But he rcal
i- es that an agituiion in the Senate
for peace cannot be ignored by Hie
Administration at a time v.'he:.
thousands of homes are being sad
dened by the selection of sontf and
brothers for the draft camps.
May Address Congress
No decision has been reached b,'
Mr. Wilson as to the manner in
which he will address the American
l.corie. It may be that he will de
cide to appear before Congress
meeting in joint session in the House
of Representatives, He may prefer
to write a letter to Chairman Stone,
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, as that committee will
have charge of any peace resolutions
that may be introduced.
Meanwhile the President is gath
ering information on which to base
his address. Wholly Independent . f
the agencies at the disposal of the
State Department, Mr. Wilson is at
this moment receiving from iritsied
agents In England and Franco re
ports on conditions In those coun
tries, reports which deal ruther with
the economic situation und the tem
per of the people than with mili
tary conditions. The Freslde.it is
convinced that all the peoples of
Europe—of the Entonte or of the
Central Powers are eager for
peace. But he Is determined that
there can only he peace under tho
conditions which this country laid
down when It entered the war.
Hope to En<l War
It is Mr. Wilson's hope that Jt
the critical moment ho may come
forward with the suggestion that
will put an end to the slnughter in
Europe evon before the young
manhood of the TTnited States Ims
paid its toll. Hut the President will
not take the step toward peace until
be Is convinced that the peace that
may come from his suggestion will
he a peace with honor to this coun
try and with safety to the dem
ocracy of the world.
To the suggestions that have
come to the President from some
quarters that the resistance to the
draft in various portions of the
country in'dlcates a resentment
against the war, Mr. Wilson remains
indifferent. This country is at war,
and Congress has decreed that its
armies shall he created by selective
draft. Sporadic outbreaks will be
met with an Iron hand and the
armies will be raised.
But to the further suggestion that
there are many degrees of intelli-
Kence among the people of this
country, to some of which the ideal
attitude of the United StAtes Is en
tering the war has been incompre
hensible, the President has been
syhipathetlc. and for that reason
he will at the first suitable oppor
tunity make clear —so clear that the
humblest mind can understand—the
reasons why America is preparing
to sacrifice her blood, as she has
already given up her treasure for
the war with Germany.

All refer to the Immensity of the task
confronting it, the first necessity be
ing the restoration of order and dis
cipline in the army, the present condi
tion of which warrants the greatest
anxiety. Internal disorganization is
hardly less serious.
One correspondent refers -to fac
tories being brought one by one to a
partial standstill owing to the lack
of fuel, which is due to a lack of
transportation, while the lengthening
lines waiting at shop doors murmur
apprehensively of the coming winter.
The decision of M. Tsertelli, to re
main outside the ministry as a con
necting link between the government
and workmen's and soldiers' council,
is mainly approved and his appeal to
the latter to abandon the domestic
class-war and range themselves about
the government to save the country is
warmly commended.
It is believed he will have great
influence in inducing the workmen's
nnd soldiers' council to strengthen
Premier Kerensky, whose mainte
nance at the head of the administra
tion is regarded as of paramount im
portance. If Kerensky fails, one cor
respondent says, Russian democracy
will receive a blow from which it will
hardly recover.
