He approached the! woman in <|uestion and began to ex- | plain his errand, when, among other things, she said: If it is for the 'Army I will have) nothing to do with it. You ought i to be ashamed to wear that uniform i arid to go over to Germany to kill your brothers." This woman is said to have on pre vious occasions displayed marked pro- German sympathies. She is said also to have a close relative in a trusted position in the Federal government. For the present her name is being withheld.

HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH * AMERICAN ARMY WILL OUTDO EVEN GERMAN MACHINE Plan to Train 150,000 Officers Indicates Ultimate Force of 6,000,000 Men Washington, Aug. 28.—The War De partment is preparing plans for the training of 150,000 officers at reserve camps during the next year. The Gen eral estimates that one officer is required for every thirty men in the service. The War Department prep arations calculated on the General Staff's estimate indicate that this Government is laying the foundation for an army of 4,590.000 in addition tc the 1,250,000 who have been called through the regular army, the militia and the draft. It is impossible to get from Secre tary Baker or the Chief of Staff any statement concerning the size of the army which the United States expects to place in the field ultimately. It is known, however, that what appear to be delays in getting the first troops into the field have been merely parts of a thoroughly worked-out scheme of mobilization whereby armies would be organized as rapidly as they could be supplied and transported. From the beginning of the war preparations, the administration has been actuated by a determination to avoid the general confusion which was brought about during the Spanish \\ ar day when the War Department tried to organize an army without consideration for its necessities. The present shortage of guns and supplies of all sorts will disappear before the militia is In France, and the first draft is organized into divi sions. Thereafter the available sup plies will increase so that great num bers of troops may be mobilized and thoroughly equipped Vith machine like schedule and precision. Will Outdo Even Knitter's Machine While the administration hopes that Germany may decide to quit, the War Department is working upon the the ory that the Kaiser plans a war of attrition, and to offset his program the greatest military organization ever prepared outside of Germany will be gradually evolved in the United States. The War Department's theory is that the first 500,000 men from the United States will merely help to give tile allies a slight advantage, but that the millions who may be sent after them will end the war, no matter to what extent the Kaiser desires to see it through. To attempt to rush such a program through in a few months would result merely in confusion and failure, ranking officials of the War Department insist. The foundation for the present war plans will be kept slightly in advance of the plans of the shipping board. The War Department does not desire to have great armies on its hands in this country. Whenever the shipping is available, the troops will be ready to march aboard. Millions Carried by Certificates Certificates of notification evidenc ing increases of stock or bonds to amount to millions of dollars have been announced by the Public Serv ice Commission, having been filed in the list fifteen days. • The West Penn Power Company, of Pittsburgh, filed three certificates showing a total of $6,223,000, all for extensions of the company. Of the issues $2,000,000 is of preferred stock, $10,000,000 authorized. The total authorized issue is $50,000,000 of bonds. Other certificates filed were: New York Central railroad, bonds, *1,000,000. * Greenville Water Company, Pitts burgh, bonds, $29,000. Kensington Water Company, Phil adelphia, bonds, $12,000. Tri-Cities Water Company, Pitts burgh, bonds, $64,000. Lehigh Valley Transit Company, Allentown, bonds, $60,000. Che;ry Tree and Dixonville rail road, Philadelphia, bonds, $1,210.- 000.

Bloomsburg Heating Company, Bloomsburg, bonds, $15,000. Power to Confer Degrees Is Defined Two decisions of importance in j educational affairs were given to day by First Deputy Attorney Gen eral Keller to Dr. Nathan C. Scheaf fer, state superintendent of public instruction. In one it is held that an incorporated college with power to confer degrees transfers its prop erty and facilities to a private in dividual or some other corporation. "It loses such power until its affairs are rehabilitated and placed upon a firm and stable foundation," said he. The matter is one for the College and University Council to handle. In another opinion it is held that a synod, conference or sisterhood can not be vested with power to confer degrees as the limitation is to col leges, universities and theological seminaries. • Six-Cent Fare Hit by Scranton City The city of Scranton to-day filed complaint with the Public Service Commission against the proposal of the Scranton Railways Company to increase its fares from five to six cents, alleging that such action would be contrary to the ordinances whereby the company's lines were granted privileges. Complaints have heen tiled by various organizations In that city. The first hearing on a similar corm plaint In southern Pennsylvania will be held here on September 20 when the complaint of Sarah Penrose against the increase of fare on the Carlisle and Mt. Holly railroad from ten to twel.e cents will be heard. Complaint was filed to-day by Phillip Amsterdam and the Esslng ton Land Company against the Penn sylvania and Reading railroads, who are accused of blocking highways.

The same applies to many other scenes. It would be hard to find a more charming "Mary Turner" than Alice Joyce, and lier portrayal of "the world's most famous department store girl" is a triumph of dramatic art. Harry Morey is splendid as "Joe Gar son," the forger. During the love scenes between Mary and her wealthy admirer—later her husband—Morey. as Carson, shows his wonderful power as an actor. He portrays even human suffering on the screen; he lays bare his innermost thoughts through facial expression and muscular action that is truly wonderful. The film version of "Within the I-aw" is wonderful and worthy of the same amount of money already paid into box offices when it was hailed as the greatest melodrama that ever appeared on Broadway.
