12 U S. TO PROVE DEMOCRACY CAN WIN IN WAR Every Resource of Great Na tion Will Be Used, Says Secretary Lane Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 18.— Business men usklng their duty to the nation in war were told by Sec retary Lane, addressing the war con vention of the Chamber of Commerce ot the United States here to-day, to change the word from "duty" to "op portunity" and seek the answer from the khaki-clad American boys who are crosisng the ocean. "We have come upon a new day and a new philosophy," he said. "We are to judge men henceforward not by what they have but by what they give." The secretary declared that the United States having determined to fight Germany's efforts to master the world "with high explosives and low intrigue" was making full steam ahead. linpitl Progress "If anyone doubts that," he added, "let him look at the record of Con gress. which has come in for so much ol derision and reproach. I presume to say that no other parliamentary body in so short a time ever passed so great a volume of well considered and prophetic legislation as has our present Congress in the past five months. "We have supplied money for our friends, raised an army of a million unri a quarter, inaugurated a new in dustry—that of making aeroplanes— revived a dead industry—that of building ships—placed powers over exports and prices over industries and resources in the hands of the President that will give him the weapons ho needs, made laws to punish domestic enemies and cour ageously placed the burden of taxa tion upon those who can best bear up under it—this is a record that no nation has excelled. It is a record that shows purpose, an unflinching purpose. "We of America, it is conceded, know how to make money, and we will prove that we know how to make war, whole-hearted, resolute war. War that means organization, machinery, science; war that means men by the million and money by the billion; war that means heart breaking, ruined hopes, a little glory, perhaps, a certain self-respect, a world that men can grow in. "We shall make war in earnest, for we know that if Germany wins the world will turn aside from the system of law and liberty which we know and exult that military caste and system which is the historic enemy of personal liberty. We make war tn France that we may not be compelled to do bat,tle here. Let Germany have Canada or Mexico, or even Cuba, and we would go to our daily work like the pilgrim fathers with our guns in our hands. "American business has no inten tion of profiting at the expense of the government in the salp of war sup plies," R. G. Rhett, of Charleston, S. C., president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, de clared in opening the convention. "There undoubtedly have been cases where selfishness and greed have outweighed patriotism, but the cases have been exceptional," he said. "And the great body of busi ness men have invariably stood squarely behind the government in its plans and proposals. "The business men of America will let the world know that whatever the cost, whatever the sacrifice, they pro pose to place every resource at their command behind the government and its allies in their determination to see that liberty, democracy, civ ilization and humanity prevail." The war convention called by the Chamber of Commerce to plan closer co-operation between the government and industry heard speakers to-day discuss the problem of obtaining suf ficient war supplies at fair prices. Among others on the program for addresses are Secretary of War Baker, Frank A. Seott, chairman of the War Industries Board; George M. Reynolds, of Chicago, and at the night session Boris Bakhmeteff, the Russian ambassador. Don't Dose The Stomach Trent Catarrh by Nature's Own Meth od—Every Breath of Hyomci Brings Relief Nearly everyone who has catarrh knows how foolish it is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach. Tempo rary relief may be given, but a cure seldom comes. I'ntil recently your physician would have said the only way to cure ca tarrh would be a change of climate; but now with Hyomel you can carry a health-giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a few minutes four times a day, treat your self successfully. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but little and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropoer and a bottle of Hyomei. "She inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle is not enough, an ex tra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for a small sum. It is the most eco nomical of all remedies advertised for catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her method of treat ing diseases of the respiratory organs. Remember, that if Hyomei does not help you, H. C. Kennedy will refund your money.—Advertisement.

TUESDAY EVENING, WIDOW TOLD TO MARRY IN LONDON , American Woman and Royal Duke Arc Meeting With Difficulties By Associated Press Rome, Sept. 18.—Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburg, of New York, was In formed by the American embassy to-day that her proposed marriage to the Duke of Oporto, brother of the late King Carlos of Portugal, pre ferably should be arranged to take place In London. While Mrs. Van Valkenburg has a divorce certificate issued by a Con necticut court, it is believed that the best solution of her difficulty would be found in a non-Catholic ceremony where divorced persons can be re married In a religious ceremony, and also in a country where the relatives of the prospective husband can offer no objection to both a civil and religious marriage. The objection of the American em bassy to performing a civil marriage between the parties, both of whom have called on Ambassador Page, are that the embassy has no evidence re garding the previous marital state of either party. For the same reason ; It 'would be difficult for Mrs. Van i Valkenburg and the duke to have a j civil marriage performed In Italy as neither of them are Italian citizens. | The difficulties of the wealthy widow and the duke are being followed by ' the American colony with interest. I Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburg was I divorced from her first husband, Lee Agnew, of Chicago, In 1906, in New York. The same year she married William Hays Chapman, then 76 years old. Mr. Chapman died the fol- i lowing year leaving an estate of $200,000 to his widow, who then was less than thirty-one years old. In 1909 Mrs. Chapman became the wife of Philip Van Valkenburg, son of a New York banker. She obtained a divorce from him in Putnam, Conn., February, 1914, on the grounds of desertion. Since then she has spent most of her time abroad. The engagement of Mrs. Van Val kenburg to the Duke of Oporto, who is 62 years old, was announced in Naples early in August. VOTERS AMUSED BY NONPARTISAN EFFORTS [Continued from First Page.] dates are claiming victory at this I hour. With a view to creating dis- j cord in Republican ranks the Demo cratic machine organ began talking j about a Republican slate weeks ago. i It was careful to say nothing about the Democratic slate. No Republican Slate This can be stated absolutely, that j so far as city council is concerned ! whatever of slate there may be is on the Democratic side. The Kepubli- I can organization positively has no I slate. This could be gathered by talks with workers in any precinct. I Each man was working for his own I particular favorites and there was j no indication of efforts to concen trate on anybody. A peculiar feature of develop- J ments to-day was that many voters were so deeply interested in the de- I velopments of the war and the ! numerous unusual activities pertain- ! ing thereto that they had forgotten i about the primary dates and had | little or no idea as to who many of J the candidates are. v Of course the candidates for mayor were for the most part well ! known to the voters, but it was not j so of those out for other offices. I Possibly best known of all those seeking the mayoralty is George A. i Hoverter, who as city councilman, alderman, former baseball star and businessman has been before the j public for many years. Hoverter in his younger days upheld the athletic ! prowess of the city in a number of | the championship nines that used to keep Harrisburg on the map and 1 later as city Councilman was an j energetic and consistent worker for j public improvements and city bet- | terments in general. He is not a ! man of wealth and has made his j way constantly by his own efforts. Daniel L. Keister, the candidate of the Workingmen's Nonpartisan ; League, is foreman of the State j printing office, former president of j common council and former mem ber of the Legislature, having been elected on the Republican ticket during a stirring campaign some years ago. On the League's slate also are J. L. Yoder, railroad en gineer; Thomas P. Moran. clothing salesman and veteran of the Spanish War; David K. Young, a well-known j plumber, and John A. Parthemore, i who was one of the street car strik ers of last year. Patrick J. Kenney, the first man on the ticket, is a well-known working man of the lower end of the city, and Thomas G. George, is a salesman and former police chief under Mayer Meals. W. L. Gorgas, who is receiv- I ing the support of the Democratic! organization, is a member of Council' in charge of the financial department | and at present acting as mayor. He j is a banker and was twice elected to Council under the Clark act. Councilmanie Fights J. F. Ommert, who heads the ticket i for City Council, is a carpenter and j long identified with labor circles, be- | ing an organizer of the local Central | Labor Union. Edward L. Rinken- ' bach, the second candidate on the j ballot, has been a resident of the AVest End for many years. He is a Jewler and his place of business is one of the old established firms in that part of the city. He has been long identified with all manner of civic betterment movements. There were strong indication* to-day that he would be among the nominees. DeWltt A. Fry, who was elected city controller on an independent ticket two years ago, is also making a strong bid for one of the council manic vacancies and beyond ques tion, his friends say, will be well up among the winners. Fry Is a former employe of the Central Iron and Steel Company, a native of Harrisburg. from his youth up a resident of the lower Ad and was a member of City Council for years during the strenuous days when the great pub lic improvement campaigns were un day way. John K. Royal and Charles F. Spl cer, whose names have been linked up more or less together In Demo cratic talk the past few days, are among the best known of the candi dates. Royal was formerly mayor of the city and is treasurer of the Harrisburg Burial Case Company. Splcer comes from an old family in the city and as secretary-treasurer of the D. Bncon Company, candy manu facturers, is well known in business circles. E. Z. Gross is also a former mayor and at present superintendent of parks and public property. He held county office years ago and conducts a large drugstore In Market street Charles W. Burtnett, of the firm of Evans-Burtnett. wholesale gro cers, is prominent In the business i circles of Harrisburg, and Is picked iia a winner by those who have mnde | a canvass of the city. He has been i prominently identified with many city betterment enterprises and la widely known. Louis J. Houseal is a well-known tulior residing on the Hill, and was formerly a member of city council. Howard W .Jonee Is president of the Citizens' Casualty Company, and has long taken an interest In city affairs. Charles C. Stelner Is a linotype operator and a former president of common council. He is a member of the Typographical Union and Is gen erally well known. William J. Mac- Laughlln Is a paperhanger and also well known throughout the city. Dr. Samuel F. Hussler is a former county treasurer and has been active in years' past in local politics. Ho has many lodge connections and Is ma king an active canvass for nomina tion. Charles P. Walter was long al derman of the Klghth ward and as contractor has done much paving and repair work for the ctty.'B. J. N. Douglass Is a prominent member of the West End Republican Club and head of a laundry in the West End, where he has many friends. Augus tus Wildman is a former councilman and served several terms as member of the Legislature. He Is a contractor and builder and has erected many of the tine homes of the city. For the short term in council the flght lies between Fred L. Morgan thaler and John G. Marks. Morgan thaler is an active Democratic parti san and has the support of the Dem ocratic machine. Marks is a well known railroad man and a Republi can. His friends say he will win. The School Hoard The Republican candidates for the School Board are Cameron L. Baer, head of the Cumberland Valley Tele phone Company in Harrisburg; Harry A. Boyer, county sealer of weights and measures, at present a member of the board; George A. Herring, a railroad brakeman; Erastus B. Hoff man, a machinist; A. V. McCauley, a draftsman; Benjamin H. Relchert, a collector; Millard F. Saul, plumber and former member of the board; W. Frank Witman, member of the wholesale grocery firm of Wltman Bros. and prominent In the local business world, and William F. Schreadley, a prominent Pennsylva nia Railroad man, native of Harris burg and graduate of the Harrisburg high school. The Democrats have five candi dates—Charles E. Emerlck, George A. Herring, Samuel T. Kinslnger. Samuel H. Lane, Edward Moeslein. former member of the board, and Millard F. Saul, who is trying for a place on both tickets. In the County Charles E. Pass will be nominated by the Republicans for prothonotary without opposition and Controller Gough will be renominated. Both places carry election in November, as the Democratic opposition amounts to little. Levi S. Miller, a well-known stock dealer; Joseph H. Haines, farmer; William S. Moses and John W. Ur ban. of Harrisburg, are on the Re publican ticket for poor director, and J. J. Bufflngton and N. Y. Parthe more are contending for the empty Democratic honor. Heated Controversy The most heated controversy is ex ercising the voters of the Twelfth ward, where Alderman Deshong is being opposed by ex-Policeman Van Camp. This ward is also stirred up over the effort of Fred L. Morgen thaler, former councilman, to defeat John G. Marks,\a well-known rail roader. A considerable group of candidates are in the ring for School Board, but the situation is so badly mixed that it is not easy to make any prediction before the voting begins. At least one of the candidates is on both the Republican and Democratic tickets and those who are making an active canvass are W. Frank Witman, Wil liam F. Schreadley, Harry A. Boyer, Cameron L. Baer, Edward Moesleln and Millard F. Saul. Coroner Jacob Ecklnger and Ed ward J. Hilton are Republican can didates for the office of coroner, the Democratic aspirants being G. Willis Hartman and Robert A. Snyder. Altogether it has been a most un usual campaign. The mobilization of the national army, the great interest of the people in the war and the gen eral upset condition of things has divided interest with the canvass for I votes. Penbrook Parade to Be Held Wednesday Evening At a meeting of the Penbrook citizens last evening in the school building it was decided to have the parade Wednesday evening at 7.30 ' o'clock in order that all the men I may have the opportunity of parti cipating in the patriotic demonstra- i tion. This parade was arranged for | last Saturday but had to be post poned because of rain. The school teachers will act as lieutenants for i their respective rooms with Princi- I pal Bell in charge of the school di vision. Trucks will be provided lor ' the primary grades and touring 1 cars for Civil War veterans. The Red Cross Auxiliary will march in the parade and wear their new caps. All other civic and fraternal organ izations are expected to Join in to make the affair a success. The parade and finance commit- i tees have arranged for the Munici pal band of Harrisburg to play from | 6.30 to 9.30 and rod lights will be purchased by the committee and by all the citizens who wish. The homes will be illuminated and decor ated for the occasion. The speaking will be at the town hall after the parade. Seven Girls Start Training at Hospital Seven young ladies have entered the Harrisburg Hospital upon a three months' probation. If they success fully pass the test at the expiration of tha probationary period, they will enter upon a period of training for nursing. A feature that will prove of great value to prospective nurses at the Harrisburg Hospital, is the addition of a newly-equipped lecture and dem onstration room, where the girls will be taught practical nursing proce dures before they go in the wards The seven young ladies who entered upon their c'vtles yesterday are: Flor ence Roth.

The blood of 1 many nations was represented in thej gathering this morning. The Irish i young man was there rubbing shoul- I ders with his Italian, French and brothers of other matlonallties. Each one wore a smile and nearly all seemed anxious to go to the training | camp. As the clerk of the exemp- i tion board read off the names tliol answers came clear and sharp. The ] men represented the pick of the young men of the first division of | Dauphin county and the demonstra tion this evening in their honor will be well merited.

The Elizabethville board will resume examinations next week when one hundred men will report. The work of this board has been held up by a shortage of call blanks. Send Over Quotas Local draft boards in central and western Pennsylvania counties to-day responded to the request of the State draft registration headquarters that they send from two to five njen above their quotas to make up for shortages in other districts when the time comes to start men for Camps Meade, Sher man and Lee to-morrow, with offers of from 10 to 100 pej - cent, more men than askeu. The eastern districts were rather slow aboiK. responses, it was reported, and some Philadelphia districts had not reported number ot men in readiness. Sta,te headquarters last night sent j telegrams to all boards calling atten tion to the fact that some districts were likely to be short of require ments nnd suggesting that extra men be prepared. It was also urged upon local boards that they provide in every way possible for comfort of men responding to the call. The first of the movements to be extended over days starts to-morrow it accordance with the schedule an nounced last week. Some changes because of increased shipments will be made.
