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

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

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

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

their honor in Steelton.
All Arc Willing
Of the 126 that reported there was !
not one that was not instilled with i
that spirit of willingness to do their j
bit for their country. 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. These men will j
leave Thursday mQrning shortly after
8 for Harrisburg. At 12.05 they will
entrain at the Harrisburg sation and
will arrive in Camp Meade at 3 p. m.
Pat Reagan Captain
Patrick L. Reagan, of Steelton. was

tc-morrow morning. At Millersburg
they will be the guests of honor at a
farewell demonstration which will
irclude auto rides parade, public
speaking, moving pictures and lunch
eon. 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.
The draft board at Elizabethville
has made a complete list of the young
men who will leave that town to
morrow morning at 7.29 for Camp
Meade. The new list consists of the
names of eighty-one men. Sixty of
the men will go eta being selected to
be the first to leave their respective
districts. The twenty-one extra names
are of the young men who will report
as alternates, and be ready to take
the places of any of the regular sixty
who might fall to pass the physical
examination at the training camp
Klizabethville w?.s extremely fortun
ate in being able to secure its full
quota. A week ago it appeared
doubtful if the required number
would he on hand. Only thirty-seven
men had been certified by the appeal
board up to that time. Saturday a
new list of certifications was received,
ar-suring the full quota tor Wednes
day.
The young men will leave Eliza
bethville depot on the 7.20 regular
train. They will be met at Millers
burg by a special, which will take
them to Harrisburg. The "boys" will
lay over in Harrisburg for nearly
an hour, leaving there for Camp
Meade shortly after noon.
The following is the list of those
selected for the first sixty and those
who will go as alternates:

THRILLING STORY
OF WAR TOLD BY
AMBULANCE MAN
Guest of Harrisburger Has
Been in Thick of Fight
ing; Atrocities True
Thrilling tales of the war with
Germany were told Sunday by Rob
ert Harding, of Syracuse, N. Y., who
recently returned from France. He
was the guest of Leonard Hinckley a
Pennsylvania Railroad clerk, who re
sides at 2003 Derry street. Mi-
Harding left for Washington, D. C„
yesterday and will stop over in this
city on his return home, within two
weeks.
Mr. Harding was a member of the
Red Cross ambulance division in
France and was located at Verdun.
He won a medal for his bravery and
good work. While on duty in August
his division was attacked by German
aeroplanes.
Bomb Afl eets Hearing
Orders were given to lie flat on the
ground. Mr. Harding was on his
knees preparing to follow orders
when a bomb dropped from an aero
plane exploded in the air. The con
cussion was so great that his hearing
was affected. Outers were injurttl.
After the raid the injured were sent
to the hospital and later Mr. Harding
was given leave to return to America
to recuperate. He expects to return
to France soon.
Has Mementoes
He is but 25 years of age and was
one of the first to go to France for
ambulance duty. He says the stories
told about Germany's barbarous war
fare are all true and that even Red
Cross nurses and ambulance forces
are not exempt from the murderous
attacks. He brought many wounded
men from the battlefields and had
numerous narrow escapes.
Mr. Harding brought along with
him from France a gas mask and
other mementoes of the war, includ
ing buttons and medals worn by Ger
man soldiers and foun ' 'on the bat
tlefield.
Small Attendance at
Home Dietetics Class
The lied Crows has begun its
winter work by organizing classes
for Bills and women who wish to
become nurses. The Home Dietetic*
class which started yesterday will
have to have more pupils if It Is to
continue. There are llfteen lessons
before a degree can be scored. The
tuition is nominal, but the fee ln-
I eludes gas, all other supplies used
in preparing food, textbooks und
the registration fee. The young
women of Toronto, Canada, who have
taken this course are serving tn war
hospitals and are proving as satis
factory as the trained nurses. Miss
Lilo Dceter is the instructor and the
class meets at the Y. M. C. A. every
Monday and Thursday afternoons
between 2.30 and 4.30 o'clock. Those
who are interested in this work can
get all Information from Miss Mil
dred Astrich or at the lied Cross
headquarters, 206 Walnut street.
Beginning the middle of October,
John H. McCandless will begin his
series of lectures for the second Red
| Cross Social Service Class.
