INCREASE TIME TO CONTRACT FOR WASTE REMOVAL • Council Amends Ordinance Asking Bidds For Collec tion of Garbage Because of an amendment to the ordinance authorizing the health bu reau to advertise for bids for the col lection of garbage, llnal action will not be taken by Council until next Tuesday. The amendments change the time for which the contract is to be let from one year to fifteen months iind provide that the specifications prepared by the board of health must be approved by Council. With the final passage of the ordi nance practically assured, the health department will begin at once the preparation of its specifications so that no deloy will result in getting bids, drawing up a contract and pro viding for a continuation of this 1 ranch of the waste collection and disposal work. Council also passed the following ordinances finally: Providing one way traffic northbound in Kivor street, between Market and Straw berry streets; authorizing the placing of a number of electric arc and 60- eandlepower street lights; providing lor the purchase of an auto truck for the. water department; increasing the salary of the assistant city chemist and authorizing the laying of water pipe in l'axton from Sixteentli to Sev enteenth streets. Plans for the collection und dis posal of ashes by the city will be made and presented to Council by the health bureau it was decided last evening at a conference held by the two bodies.. That municlpa'l control of collections will be provided was practically assured, every one at the conference favoring this plan as the only one which will give efficient re sults. Xo Curb Collections Curb collections will not be re quired, it was understood. Realiz ing the public opposition which would be sure to follow any effort to reuqire this in Harrisburg. both the city commissioners and the health bureali last night said they would not consider this method as the ulti mate saving for the city would not be a gain because of the filthy condi tions which would exist on the streets by placing ash and garbage cans along the curb. It was decided to have Council amend the ordinance asking bids for garbage collection, so that it will cover a period from February 1, 191S, to May 1, 1919. The health bureau will begin preparing specifi cations for the bidders, and the awarding of a contract.

City commissioners estimated that the city can not pt-pperly equip for in- nlcipul ash collections In less than ninety duys, and the health burea.u was asked to start at once outlining a plan for this work so that all neo essary legislation can be prepared and passed in time to provide for the Installation of the system. Favor District Plan Officials agreed that additional regulations may be necessary and must bo enforced. The plan of di viding tlie city into six districts was favored. This was originally the sys tem used by the Pennsylvania Re duction Company-but was not main tained. According to Dr. J. M. J. Raunlck the ash collection problems would never have btarted had the reduction company been successful in carrying out this plan. The six districts as proposed last night were: Two on Allison Hill from Cameron street west to the city line, probably using Market street .as the dividing line; one district from Market street south to the city line and Cameron street east to the Sus quehanna river; three districts from Market street north to city limits and between the river and Cameron street, to be divided into sections as nearly equal as possible. Under Superintendent The proposed plan if adopted will place the entire disposal system un der the direction of a superintendent who will district inspectors under him, making daily reports, receiv ing complaints and directing the work of the men In his district. Ash collections will be made twice a week in winter, and once a week in summer; garbage twice a week In summer and once a week in winter. Householders will probably be re quired to keep ashes and rubbish separated. By letting a contract for garbage collections for another year the com missioners believe ample opportunity will be given to study the best and cheapest method of disposing of this waste. v ALL BUTTWO~ PLEAS SENT BACK [Continued from First Page.] fused. The number of has been thus greatly reduced and many more of them are expected to report before the end of the week. At the board of the second district the work of sending notifications to the men that have been summoned on the third call is nearly finished. These men are asked to report next Monday and will be examined at the rate of fifty per day. IJhis board re ports that in the cases of the seventy nine men that failed to report when called, a wait of the usual ten days will be made, and if the men fail to put in appearance by that time they will be accepted and certified. Their names will be sent to the appeal board where they will be entered on the roll of the United States Army and classed as deserters. It was also learned that out of the first 317 men examined in this district, only six (lied appeals from the decision of the local board. These men claim ed various reasons for exemption. Their cases wll be sent to the appeal board. Exempt Married Men The draft board of the third dis trict of Dauphin county with head quarters at Eiliabethvllle, on Tues day established a precedent for Dauphin county, when with one swoop forty-three married men who had been passed physically (it were exempted on the grounds of depend ants. This Is the record exemption for the county. It was a sort of a demonstration gift to those married men who claimed exemption, and when the news spread among the large crowd that had gathered for the big celebration, there was great rejoicing among the wives of the men. When asked why they made such a wholesale exemption the board is reported to have acted on their own discretion. They were advised that if they thought the wife of a man was sufficient ground for exemption It could be granted. This the board did with one big blow. Examine 56 ■ Besides exempting all these men, the board also examined llfty-slx men. Of this number five failed to appear, thirty-three passed; nine asked exemption; twenty-two were rejected and twenty-three asked ex emption.

Sweeney, officer In charge of the draft headquarters to-day. "In some cases 1 have been advised that men have been started to Camps Lee and Sherman. The movement will begin to-day and continue until the tenth, Inclusive. We have received no defi nite information as yot regarding movements of men to Camp Meade, scheduled to begin on the nine teenth." From what has been learned at the headquarters the movement on the nineteenth will depend upon tho condition of the cantonment at Camp Meade. Drafted men cannot pick the can tonment to which they must go, ac cording to a teloaram received at State draft lieadqnarters from Pro vost Marshal General Crowder. They may make application to be sent to a camp, but local boards must In vestigate carefully such applications and only allow them when by reason of men being at long distances such action would be advisable for other good and sufficient causes. Notice was also issued that the Marine Corps would recall a state ment to the effect that registered men called by a local board could enlist in the Marine Corps with writ ten consent of the local board. "After being called by a -local board no registrant is eligible for voluntary enlistment in any branch of the gov ernment service," says the notice. Local boards have been warned that they should make certification at the close of each day's business of men called for duty. "Since this certification constitutes the giving of notice to registrants that they have been selected for military service, it should be made as promptly as pos sible In order that each man may have the maximum time to compose his affairs before being ordered to military duty," says another notice. It is also given out that until word comes that camps are ready there should be no further call to military duty for the men summoned to go on September 19 and October 3. Pennsylvania will send fifty-seven men to Camp Sherman says Colonal Frank G. Sweeney. There will be 266 sent to Camp Lee.

One theory advanced for the re ported evacuation is that the German command, dreading the effect of the next drive is preparing to flood the lowlands by diverting water from the river Scheldt, thus blocking al lied progress. Another supposition is that the Germans lacking the men to hold the present lines firmly enough are preparing for another strategic retreat.

Another paper, which assumes and frequently warns of Germany's intention to in vade England with aircraft in very large fleets says: Germans Move Fast "The enemy seems to be getting on rather with invasion plane. The German aircraft came, bombed, and departed. Our guns fired and our aircraft went up but without re sult, according to the latest official reports. This is the ninth serious raid this summer and of 127 ma chines which have crossed our coast Germany only admits the loss of seven."
