KILLED ON DUTY
DECISION GIVEN
Watchman Shot While at
Work Held to Be in Course
of Employment
The State Compensation Board in
an opinion by Chairman Mackey has
awarded compensation to Mrs. Agnes
Keyes, Carbondale, whose husband
was found shot dead while on duty
lor the New York, Ontario and West
ern Railroad. The opinion says that
the employe was admittedly on the
employer's premises, in the course
of his employment, and within a
short tl*je he had been seen per
forming duties, found dead from a
gunshot wound. Mr. Mackey says
there is no persumption in favor of
suicide nor of injury by a third per
son for personal reasons and holds
that it Is a compensable case.
The question of what part a bonus
.should pay In compensation came up
in the case of Anderson vs. Aetna
Explosives Company. The son of the
claimant was killed by an accident
while manufacturing explosives and
it was the custom to pay a bonus for
those who worked continuously for a
month, the plan being general in its
application. Commissioner Leech
says that he does not regard the
bonus as a gift or gratuity and holds
that "this bonus was as much a part
of the wages alid contract of hiring
as if expressly incorporated Into writ
ing." He adds: "We do not believe
that an employer can change the
real character of its relation to its
employe or limit its liability by call
ing a portion of his earnings 'wages'
and another portion 'bonus'."
In the case of Ribb vs. Foreman,
u Titusville case, the chairman In an
opinion on review of an agreement
says: "We can not be called upon to
set aside a Written document by the
balancing of probabilities," and says:
"This agreement cannot be regarded
I'ghtly nor can it be the subject of
frivolous attacks."
The board has dismissed appeals
in these cases: Swoyer vs. Frlck Coke
Co., Pittsburgh; Burket vs. Hecker
nian, Bedford: Nalewajko vs. Jones
& Laughlin Steel Co., Pittsburgh;
Locjard vs. Williams Co., Indiana, In
which it Is held that the claimant is
an independent contractor; Frantz
vs. Cambridge Slate Co., Slatington;
McWilllams vs. Shaw, Uniontown;
Kuechunis vs. Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad, Scran
ton, In which compensation was not
allowed: Jackson vs. Hudson Coal
Co., Scranton.
New hearings were awarded in
Yurkl vs. Wilkes-Barre and Eastern
Railroad, Wllkes-Barre, and Tre
gaskts vs. Pennsylvania Coal Co.,
Runmore.
In McQuade vs. Philadelphia and
Reading Railway. Harrisburg; Pas
torius vs. Philadelphia and Reading,
Philadelphia, and other cases gov
erned by federal decisions in inter
state decisions In interstate carrier
cases awards are set aside and ap
peals dismissed.

UNFOLDS THRILLING
STORY OF GERMANY
[Continued from First J'age,]
ask permission to spend my oifrn
money. X Could not leave Berlin
without getting a permit from the
Kommandatore of the city. I could
not step one foot outside the confines
of the city without this official per
mission.
I had to be in the house at 10 p. m.
unless I had special permission to
be out. If I went to a theater or a
concert* and wanted to remain out
after that hour, I had to go to the
police and get a paper testifying that
I had the gracious permission of the
powers that be to stay out. I was
not permitted to leave the house be
fore 6 a. m., though to tell the truth
that order never bothered me—but it
was the only one whoch was not an
inconvenience.
During those last few months,
after the United States entered the
war, I kept inside as much as possi
ble, for Americans were utterly hated
everywhere.
. Hntc Annlimt America
Before the United States came into
the war, the Germans expended al
most all their hate on the English.
"Gott Strafe England" was the Ger
man prayer. But now, the hate is
equally divided between the United
States and England.
Even before the United States came
into the war, the Germans thought
that we should not sell munitions to
the allies. They accused us among
themselves for helping the other side.
They laughed at President Wilson and
his "notes". "Wilson is easy," one
cquld hear people say on the street,
and laugh about it, every time a
fresh German outrage prompted an
other remonstrance from our Presi
dent. "He is a good letter-writer,
that is all he can do," the people
said.
When the United States really en
tered the war, the people at first
were surprised. Then they were con
•emptuous. "America never will send
soldiers," they said. "She will give
money and food—and she is doing;
that now. She will not fight."
But when the news filtered into
Germany that our boys in khaki wer§
really ordered to the battlelines in
France, Germans began to sing a dif
ferent tune. They began to be more
fearful. Not so many laughs and
sneers were heard, although the
newspapers and the soldiers tried to
make the people think that our men
would not give a good acount of
themselves in batUe. And with the
passing of the Cierman self-confi
dence came a greater degree of hate
toward us.
Of course no American in Berlin
dared to show an American flag. 1
had one in my room, a btautiful silk
one, and my landlady begged me to
be sure and take it with me when l
went. "I would be afraid evep to
try to destroy it," she said, "for fear
some person would see me with it."
Slnppeil Soldier's Face
Toward the last, when I went shop
ping, I never went into the smaller
stores, for fear I would be insulted
or not served. My girl friend, who
was from South America, had lived
for seven years in Germany and she
could speak German so fluently that
no person suspected her. But I never
got rid of my American accent; and,-
frankly, I was afraid, for there are a
lot of tilings I would rather do than
face a German hate-filled mob.
Americans are treated with the
utmost disrespect in Germany. An
American girl I knew slapped the
face of a German soldier who insult
ed her outrageously, while she was
walking through the'avenue called
"Unter den Linden." He said things
to her which, in America, would have
landed him in jail, soldier or no sol
dier. But she had no protection. The
scldier called a policeman and the re
sult was that the American girl was
tried and given twelve days to leave
the country for "insulting the Kaiser"
by slapping one of his officers.
As for myself—when I would get
on a street car, I always would step
back to let a German 1 officer pass be
fore me, If he also were boarding the
car. Of course all German women do
that, but imagine what that would
mean to an American girl! I would
not have dared step up on the car
before a soldier.
Walking along the streets, the sol
diers Jostle you or step on your feet
without thinking- of apologizing. One
is not permitted to speak English.
One d%', In one of the parks in Ber
lin. I met a girl friend I had not
known was in Germany. We were de
lighted to see each other qnd began
talking in English. A woman pass
ing by stopped and forbade us to
speak in that language.
"But what we are saying is none of
your business." I told her.
"That does not matter," she said:
"I will call a policeman and have you
put in jail if you don't stop."
And the worst of it is that she
could have done that had she so
wished.
A Cnfe Incident
Another time I remember was when
I. with some friends from the Spanish
embassy, were in a cafe. We were
talking Spanish. A German officer
sitting in a balcony above us did not
recognize the tongue and thought we
were speaking in French. He sent
down a card on which he had written
'How dare you insult the Kaiser by
speaking French In Germany?"
One of the men from the embassy
demanded an apology from the officer
explaining that we were talking
Spanish. And, as he was from the
embassy, the officer apologized. But
had we really been speaking French
we would have gotten into trouble.
As a sample of the way Americans
are regarded, I can cite the case ot
a yotfng musician I knew, named
I.angstraus, an American despite his
German-sounding name. He Composed

a beautiful symphony and triad to get
It heard In Germany. Of course every
person knew he was an American,
and it was weeks before he could get
permission to give the symphony.
Then, when he did give It, few per
sons came to hear It and the critics
the next day "roasted" It almost to
extinction.
Later, he got to Norway and pre
sented it there and got a wonderful
a\idience and splendid notices.
Another man, who waft half Ameri
can, a painter in Munich, Yagas
bacher by name, simply could not get
a.place to exhibit his work .
Many It lot* In Germany
One thing which, more than An
other, shows the unrest of the Ger
man people Is that they cantlnually
are embroiled In riots—riots because
of hunger and because of the desire
for peace.
I saw one riot before the Kaiser's
palace when at least 3,000 persons
were assembled at once. It took the
soldiers a long time to disperse them.
If ever there Is any uprising in
Germany, one thing I know, the Ger
man private soldiers will "get back"
at their officers for their inhuman
brutality. I heard of more cases of
actual barbarism on the part of offi
cers toward men in the ranks than
one could believe. But I also saw a
number of cases where things hap
pened which would not be permitted
in our army.
One day, in the subway (the unter
ground), I saw a Germatj soldier sit
ting quietly reading a paper. The
station was crowded. An officer came
in and passed the soldier but at
some distance. The soldier did not
look up from his paper and so did
not see the officer. The officer wait
ed a moment, then went over and
tapped the soldier on the shoulder.
The man got up, thoroughly fright
ened, as one could ee from the ex
pression on his face, and saluted.
Well, the officer started and never In
my life have I heard any person get
what we would call such a "bawling
out" as that officer gave that soldier.
For over five minutes he talked, and
he did not trouble to lower his voice.
The soldier stood quietly and took it
without one word and, when the offi
cer was done, simply saluted and
walked away.
If an officer would do that simply
because a soldier had not sten him
and did not salute, I wonder what
would happen it anything serious oc
curred!
Hleh Don't Go llnnsrry
The German officers have a very
exalted opinion of their own dignity.
They would not carry a package, no
matter how, small. They would Con
sider that beneath them. They do not
give up their seat in the street car
to women, unless it happens to be
some woman they know and particu
larly wish to pldhse. They flirt out
rageously with any woman they care
to, and no woman dares to resent it.
They will flush you oft the sidewalk,
run against you without apology,
show the greatest rudeness in every
way, and they are treated as though
they were gods in human form.
They do not go hungry as the peo
ple do. They live hjgh. The rich do
not go hungry, either. But the poorer
people, as those of the middle class
they are the ones who are being
crushed by starvation and malnu
trition. \
Our charwoman, who came every
day -to clean the flat in Which we
lived, told us one day that she could
not come very much longer as shtf
was starving to death. Her allow
ance of food was so small that she
was getting -weaker all the time.
People are dying there of hunger
dying while many of those in charge
of the country are getting rich by
graft. The government sets certain
prices for food, but any person who
has money can set these rules aside
and get whatever he pleases.
When I went to Germany to finish
my musical education, in 1914, I found
a beautiful, prosperous country, the
people contented and happy, a coun
try respected, with a million bonds ot
love and goodfellowship, humanity,
learning and art binding her to the
othei* civilized countries even to
England, whom Germany always hat
ed more or less.
A ContrpHt
When I left there this summer 1
left a broken, almost despairing coun
try, hating and hated; a country
which in three years has lost hun
dreds of years of civilization; a coun
try which, I hope, some day will call
to account the men who brought woe
unutterable Opon it as well as upon
the rest of the world. But that is a
hope I am afraid I never will see
realized.
I remember the Sunday that war
swept down upon Germany. By 6
p. m. that day thousands of soldiers
were marching through Berlin, fully
equipped, even to an extra pair ot
shoes. The way they marched and
drilled was beautiful in its perfection,
had one not known that this magnifi
cent machine had been created simply
to kill.
There was no disorder, no murmur
ing from the people. The heroic Ger
man women bade good-by to their
men. without a nigh, with scarcely a
tear. The men marched away, sing
ing their patriotic songs, cheering
and laughing.
During the first year the cities were
kept illumined; flags wero flung and
bells were rung at the slightest prov
ocation. Every report of a German
victory brought forth new enthusi
asm. When the Germans were march
ing toward Paris we lived daily in
expectation of hearing that Paris had
fallen into their hands.
But, when the blunder of the Ger
man commander saved the capital of
France, the hopes of the German
people took a sudden drop. They
never have forgiven this. Continually
you hear, "If Hlndenburg had been
leading the army we would have had
Paris and the war would have been
over in short order."
German People Discontented
The second year was much like the
first, but the third year we saw the
beginning of discouragement creep
over the people.
Few of the German "common peo
ple" even read the newspapers any
more. They had come to disbelieve
the glowing reports of German vic
tories which seemed to get the Ger
mans nowhere. From the great world
outside bits of news Altered In, tell
ing that the German armies were far
from beln as victorious as the mili
tary rulers would like the people to
believe.
Now the people are apathetic. Few
things stir them into excitement ex
cept when they have to pay exorbi
tant prices for food.
One Saturday morning X saw a riot
Ir. the market. A man was offering
carrots for sale —at what in our
money would be seventy-five cents a
pound. The people tore his stand to
pieces and confiscated his vegetable*.
And, In Berlin, the people are kept
more under subjection than In th
other towns—what it is like in other
places I can. only conjecture. I feel
sure It must be much worse.

OBSTRUCTIONISTS
ARE TRAITORS TO
U. S., SAYS ROOT
Arguments Against the War
Are Enemy Arguments, •
He Points Out
Chicago, 111., Sept. 15. —r Before
15,000 persons gathered at the war
mass meeting In -the Coliseum last
night Ellhu. Hoot defined the word
"traitor" as It applies In this crisis.
"Arguments against the war are
enemy arguments," he declared,
while the great crawd shouted its
approval. "Tfcelr spirit is the spirit
of rebellion and the effect is to hin
der and lessen popular support. They
encourage the enemy."
When the throng had given vent to
its hearty approbation he paused
dramatically and declared: "Such
persons are rendering more effective
service to Germany than they could
render on the battlefield with arms.
■Their purpose is so plain that it is
impossible to resist the conclusion
that the great number of them are
attempting to bring triumph to Ger
many."
Summing up this terrific broadside
against propagandists and others
who are hindering the government in
the vigorous prosecution of the war,
the gray-haired statesman declared:
"Anyone who by argument is hin
dering the government and knows
what he is doing is a traitor."
Mr. Root, who appeared on the
platform with Samuel Gompers as
co-speaker of the evehing, mentioned
no names in his powerful address.
In defining the attitude of citizens
toward the conluct of the war ahd
Incidentally what constituted being
a traitor, Elthu Root said:
War Changes AH
"The declaration of war between
the United States and Germany com
pletely changed the relations of all
the inhabitants of the country to the
subject of peace and war.
"Before the declaration everybody
had a right to discuss .whether the
United States should carry on war
against Germany. But the question
of peace or war has now been de
cided by the President and Congress,
not suddenly or rashly, but advisedly,
after a long delay and discussion and
nutience under provocat'on; aftor
repeated diplomatic warnings to Ger
many, known to the whole country.
When such a decision has been made
the duties—and, therefore, the rights
—of all the people of the country Im
mediately change. It becomes their
duty to stop discussion upon the
question decided and to act, to pro
ceed immediately to do everything in
their power to enable the govern
ment of their country to succeed in
the war upon which the country has
entered.
"A nation which declares war and
goes on discussing whether it ought
to have declared war or not Is Im
potent. A democracy which cannot
accept Its own decisions, made in
accordance with its own laws, but
must keep on endlessly discussing the
question already decided, has failed
In the fundamental requirements of
self-government; and if the decision
Is to the failure to exhibit
capacity for self-government by ac
tion will Inevitably result In the loss
of the right of self-government.
United States Must Win
"Nearly hall a year has passed and
still we are not ready to fight. I am
not blaming the government. It was
inevitable. Preparation tor modern
war requires long periods of time,
p.nd the more peaceful and unpre
pared for war a democracy is the
longer is the time required.
"The history, the character, the
avowed principles of action, the
nu.nifest and undisguised purpose of
the German autocracy, made it clear
and certain that, if America stayed
out of the great war, and Germany
won, America would forthwith be
required to defend herself, and would
be able to defend herself against the
same lust for conquest, die same will
to dominate the world which has
made Europe a bloody shambles.
"The instinct of the American
democracy which led it to aqf when
It did arose from a long-delayed and
reluctant consciousness, still vague
and half expressed, that this is no
ordinary war which the world is
waging. .
"It is the climax of the supreme
struggle between autocracy and
democracy. If autocracy is defeated,
the nations are compelled to rec
ognize the rules of law and of mo
rals; then, and then only, will dem
ocracy be safe.
"To this great conflict for human
rights and human liberty America
has committed herself. There can be
no backward step. There must be
either humiliating and degrading
submission or glorious victory."

Fight to get it and keep it
Fight—figlit day In and day out to
prevent being overtaken by ills and
alls. Keep wrinkles from marring
the cheek and the body from losing
Its youthful appearance and buoy
ancy. Fight when ill-health is com
ing with its pallor and pains, defects
and declining powers. Fight to stay
Its course and drive it off.
But fight intelligently. Don't fight
without weapons that can win the
day, for without the intelligent use
of effective weapons the pallor
spreads and weakness grows and a
Beemingly strong man or woman oft
times becomes a prey to Ills after all.
You will not find this class of per
sons in the hypoferrin ranks. No

Lancaster County Woman
Raises Cotton in Garden
Mount Joy ,Pa., Sept. 15.—Mrs.
Daniel Kunkle, of Quarryvillai Is
quite a successful cotton grower. She
has several plants in her garden that
will mature. She started the plants
in the house and then transplante4
them to the garden. "Very early In
the season they bloomed and now
have pods that will soon burst open.
They are a curiosity to people who
have never seen cotton grow. *

Face Peeling Easy—
Blonde or Brunette
"The blonde's complexion fades
early, because her skin is extraordi
narily thin and fine,'* says Mme. Llna
Cavalier!. "The brunette's, .as a rule,
is the reverse. The skin is thicker
and has a tendency to an oily appear
ance."
For either the faded blonde's skin
or the brunette's oily or sallow com
plexion. the best remedy is ordinary
niercollzed wax. Used every night,
this will give one .an entirely new
complexion within about a week's
time. The wax gradually peels off
the worn-out surface skin, with all its
defects, a little each day, without af
fecting the delicate underskin in the
least. The latter will have the ex
quisitely beautiful glow of youth—
indeed, one may readily lose ten or
fifteen years from her age, so far as
appearance goes, by a course of this
simple treatment. The wax, procur
able nt any drug store, is applied like
cold cream.—Advertisement.

Five Years
t '
says David Dlvely, 1209 North Cam
eron street, Harrisburg. For a period
of about five years I have been
bothered with stomach trouble and
rheumatism. After eating would
bloat and had pains In stomach, was
very nervous and during these spells
noticed a thickness in my throat and
head, also a ringihg in ears.
Was restless at night, slept lit
tle and would got up and drink hot
water to quiet my nerves, which
helped at first, however it soon lost
I its effect.
I took all kinds of medicine but
obtained no relief.
I saw the daily testimonials In re
gard to Sanpan, and what impress
ed me was, that they were all from
Harrisburg, not some way off place.
I gave it a trial and It has quieted
my nerves, I sleep well, my stomach
is fine, my rheumatic pains are gone
and am enjoying better health than
for years.
I wish you to publish this, as !1
may be the means of helping others
