U.S. NAVY WILL
LEAD THE WORLD
IN DESTROYERS
Daniels Will Ask Congress
This Week For $330,000,000
For Expansion of Works
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 27. —Secretary
Daniels expects to submit to Con
gress this week estimates of $350,-
000,000 fo-" the greater number of
destroyers which will make the
American Navy the leader of the
world in ships of that type.
The money will be used to expand
existing shipbuilding plants and also
to build additional engine and boiler
factories as the destroyer program
upon which the ship building indus
try is now engaged represents the
full capacity of the industry.
Standardized Plans
Navy designers are preparing plans'
for a standardized destroyer to fa-1
cilitate the quantity production of I
the most .successful weapon against!
submarines. Parts of the engines I
wlllHje assembled from various fac
tories at central plants and forward- i
ed to ship yards building the hulls. I
Details of the number of destroy
ers now under construction or the;
number contemplated in the supple- j
mental program are withheld for J
military reasons.
New destroyers will be delivered
so rapidly beginning early next year
that the supply of trained officers'
and men will be taxed in putting j
them into commission. Means for j
training new crews will have to ex
pand proportionately. f
The $350,000,000 estimate, it was
indicated, to-day, is a minimum and
may have to be increased substan
tlaTTy.
HEDICES PAYMENT
After claiming in court, early In
the year, that he could pay his wife
S6O a month for support, Thomas
Roberts was brought before Judge
Kunkel to-day In nn attachment pro
ceeding for failure to comply with the
order which was made. Roberts kept
up the payments until in May. it was j
said. To-day the Court reduced* the 1
amount to *32 a month when Roberts' :
wife agreed to that amount.

August
Coal Prices
Lower Here Than Elsewhere
Harrisburg coal prices for August are
based on the operators' schedule issued oil
May 1, 1917.
In the year 1902 the operators put into
effect a sliding scale of prices. The lowest
rate is on April 1 and increasing 10 cents
per ton each month until September 1.
With few exceptions this arrangement
has been in effect each summer for 15 years.
Other cities selling Anthracite Coal fol
low the custom of the wholesale operators
advancing retail rates each month.
In order give every person the opportuniv to
fill their bins at the lowest possible cost, retail
prices have been maintained at the May rate and
will be continued until September 1.
June Ist, July Ist, August Ist, 1917 an advance of
10c per ton was added each month to wholesale
prices. August 15 an extra advance of from 25c
to SI.OO per ton was put into effect by a large oper
ating company shipping to Harrisburg.
The United States Government's schedule for
Anthracite Coal is from 40c to $1.30 per ton higher
than May, 1917, wholesale price list, upon which
local prices are based.
The increase in prices of Anthracite Coal author
ized by the Government make it necessary that re
tail rates be increased September 1, 1917.

MONDAY EVENING, HAJRRISBURG TELEGRAPH • AUGUST 27, 1917
DRAFTED MEN TO
BE TRAINED AS
I ARMY OFFICERS
United States to Use New Sol
diers to Train Those
Called Later
Washington, Aug. 27.—Twenty-five
■ thousand drafted men of the first
Increment of the selective draft
army about to begin training will get
commissions as officers.
i This plan of the >k'ar department,
, although not yet officially announced,
has been in contemplation for some
time, and the new army of young
|-officers will be used In training the
second Increment of the National
Army when it is drafted and sent to
camp next spring.
News of the government's purpose
comes from an authoritative source,
although the plan has not been per
fected and therefore not o;fficially
j proclaimed. Some authorized an
; nouncement regarding it, however, is
{expected in the near future.
It Is probable that the selective
j recruits, most of whom had given
up hope of becoming officers and
I some of whom failed to make the
! officers' reserve camps, will not be
| given commissions higher than the
grade of captain, and tha majority
jof the men who show exceptional
ability to command as the training
| progresses will be commissioned as
I tirst and second lieutenants.
News of the change to become of
| .leers, it is believed, will furnish a
J great incentive to the drafted re
{ emits. Under the intensive training
that confronts them it is the plan of
i the war department to develop a
*lirst-class army for modern warfare.
It was pointed out by the experts
here that the reason for the gov
ernment's decision to train so many
officers, is the fact that there will be
i another shortage of officers, despite
the officers' reserve trainiing camps,
by the time the first increment of
the new army is ready for service
abroad. All the available officers,
or nearly all, it was explained, will
be required to go with the forces
| that go to France and there would
|he an insufficient force remaining
'lo train the second increment of
500,000 men, which the selective
draft law gives the President author
-1 ity to call.
Disclosure of the opportunity to
be afforded so many drafted men
to get commissions, following im
j mediately the announcement of Pro
] vost Marshal General Crowder that
I only 5 per cent, of the drafted men
would be sent to cantonments Sep
tember 5, has given rise to the belief
that the directions to local boards
to pick the best available men for j
the first, mobilization, were given
with the idea that these men may be
! given the first chance to show their
1 ability to become officers.

Only Five Per Cent, of
First Draft Army to
Go to Camp Sept. 5
Washington. AUK. 27. Only*n per
cent, of the National Army will be
mobilized on September f instead of
30 per cent., originally planned.
This has been announced by Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder.
Forty per cent, will ffo September
19 and 40 per cent. October 3. The re
maining 15 per cent, will go "as soon
as practicable."
This latest change in plans is due to
congestion in traffic entailed in early
September by movement of National
Guards into training camps.
The object of calling only 5 pet
cent. is to place in- the camp enough
men to form a skeleton organization
to assist in receiving and assimilating
the larger contingents later. Boards
are requested to select men with pre
vious military training for the first 5
per cent. _
One per cent, of the quota of each
board will be sent on each of five
successive days, beginning September
5. so that the movement will not be
completed until September 9.

slon of "Joan, the Woman." "Joan,!
the \\ oman." is the greatest moving j
picture production ever lilmed, at a j
cost of half a million dollars, and tak- |
ing two years to produce it. Twenty- I
fl\e thousand people appear in one'
fnob scene, the like of which has never I
been seen before.
t or the convenience of our patrons!
we will show this production at 11 a. i
m„ 2, 4:30, 7 and 9:30 p. m. Owing to!
the enormous cost of this production, j
the admission price will be 15 cents ;
and 25 cents. •
Miss I'arrar utterly submerges all
traces of twentieth century qualities.
As Joan she is revealed as a sturdy,
tireless, vigorous peasant of the tar
lemoved past. The thickets of the
battle attracts her. She rides, un
daunted. unafraid, leading her heroic
.£ n ,V; warrior, a doer of deeds that
thrill the soul, grip the heart and
make one looking on want to rise
and cheer. "Joan of Arc" is the em
bodiment of all the characters with
which Geraldine Farrar is so delight
fully associated. More convincing
than our telling it, is the treat in see
ing the picture which is now being
presented at the Regent,

~ the celebrated accor
dionist, who made the big hit of the
season at Paxtang a tew weeks ago.
Frosini is the best-known accordion
ist in vaudeville, and Is considered by
many competent musical critics the
best. A feature of Frosini's work is
| the fact that he takes great pleasure
tln playing special selections by re
quest. If you liavo any particular
piece of music that you would like to
hear him play, just drop Frosini a
Postal card with the name of the se
lection and the time when you expect
to be in the theater, and he will gladly
play it for you. Other acts on the park
bill for this week will be Juno Salmo
and Company, in a mystifying illusion
stunt, entitled "The Devil in Mid-Air;"
Ernest Dupree, with a new line of
songs and humorous stories: Fogg
and White, who are an exceptionally
clever pair of blackface comedians,
and Rose Schmittan and Brother, the
classiest equilibrists in vaudeville.
There will be a grand fireworks
display at the park on Thursday even
ing when many beautiful novelties in
pyrotechnics will be shown.
For Friday the park management
announces the annual "Bargain Day."
i which means that by buying a strip
I ticket for ten cents you can get an ice
cream cone, a ride on the merry-go
round, a trip through the gigglei- and
a ride on the roller coaster all for a
dime. This day has been a Paxtang
feature for several years, and is quite
p6pular with the youngsters, who al
ways like to take the opportunity of
getting' double value for their money.
LADY HAD SUFFERED
FOR YEARS
Mrs. Bertha Myers, 1238 N. Cam
eron St., Harrisburg, says: "For
I years 1 have been ailing with
nervous indigestion. I would get
sick at my stomach and bloat, also
got very nervous and dizzy, which
would come on so suddenly that I
would fall and bruise myself.
"As a result of this condition I
became despondent and just thought
that there was no help for me. I
was irritable and easily upset, and
thought everything was against me.
"I was restless at night and could
not sleep, would roll and toss all
night long.
"X decided to try Sanpan, and am
now enjoying better health than I
have for years.
"My nerves are steady, my sleep
.undisturbed, my stomach is right
my appetite is good and I enjoy my
meals."
Sanpan is being introduced at Kel
ler's Drug Store, 405 Market St.,
Harrisburg, where the Sanpan man
is meeting the people.—Adv.
