8 GOVERNOR ASKS BARS TO CLOSE Honors Marshal General's Re quest by Issuing Proc lamation Governor Brumbaugh last night Issued a proclamation calling upon all holders of liquor licenses to close their places of business during the entrainment of the drafted men this week. The Governor's proclamation calls attention of judges and officials to the request, which was made at the instance of the provost marshal general. The Governor's proclamation is as follows: "Whereas, The Provost Marshal General has advised me that when the men accepted for the National army leaves home for the uncertain ties of a soldier life it should be oc casion not for sorrow but for sole mnity. To many anxious hearts it will also be a day of sacred sorrow; and "Whereas, He further declares that It would bo Inappropriate to have the day marred by the untoward events which drunkenness brings In its train and that, therefore, he earn estly suggests the advisability of measures looking to the closing of saloons during such hours, preceding tho entrainment on the next and subsequent mobilization days as mayj be proper and necessary to the com- i plete compliance with the wish of the National Government; and "Whereas, It is eminently fitting that this request of the National Government be fully observed and that Pennsylvania'shall soberly and solemnly bid God-speed to our splen did young soldiers. "Therefore, I, Martin Grove Brum baugh, Governor of this Common wealth, do hereby call upon and urge all persons holding license to sell in toxicating liquors in this Common wealth to close their several places of business during the day of en trainment for each mobilization in their respective communities, keep ing them closed from the beginning of the day until the soldiers have gone forth. "I respectfully and earnestly re quest that all mayors of cities, bur gesses of boroughs and judges who have issued licenses In their districts Suffered For Three Years says Mrs. S. Gibson, 313 Adams street, Steel ton. Pa. "For three years I have been bothered with stomach trouble and nervousness. Always bloated after eating and had lots of pain and heartburn. "I was very susceptible to cold in head and throat. "My kidneys bothered me and had rheumatic pains in back and limbs. Did not rest well at night, had bad dreams. I appeared to be all shot to pieces as they say, and was dis couraged because nothing helped. "Finally a friend persuaded me to try Sanpan and really, I can't ex press my gratitude for this advice, as it worked, a miracle in my case. My stomach is great, nerves quiet, I sleep well, rheumatism is gone, kidneys no longer cause any trouble and am perfectly well." Sanpan is being introduced at Kel ler's Drug Store, 405 Market street, Harrisburg, where the Sanpan man Is explaining it to the people.—Adv. iln the display of distinctive furniture and rugs which we have gathered for the present fall season Is shown u compre- ¥4 WmSbß hensive collection of suites and pieces for library, living room, W\jp W'||P dUHmpm dining and bedrooms, the highest grades it is possible to pro- \ '■■■ and character furniture of stately grace, rich In appearance, MH| I artistic in design, perfect In construction—ln which there is noth- Ing lacking to satisfy the most discriminating.

"Housing Follows Plow" New Red Cross Motto Washington.—The following cable from Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, head of the Red Cross Commission to France, has been received by the Red Cross War Council: "The Bureau of Reconstruction of Civil Affairs of the American Red Cross in France has a new motto: 'Housing Follows the Plow.' "In view of the overshadowing Importance of augmenting in every possible way the food supply, the Red Cross will carry on its first work of reconstruction in those portions of the devastuted areas which are selected by the government as the best wheat growing regions, and to which the French government sends its batteries of tractors for plowing by wholesale. Representatives of three divisions of the American Red Cross in France Planning, Engi neering and Civil Affairs—returned recently from a study of conditions In the devastated areas, having selected three villages in which provisional reconstruction work will be begun within a fortnight. "Fifty villages were visited. In some, the destruction of buildings was complete. In others, a portion of the buildings can be repaired. Nearly all the houses are without roofs, without windows and door frames, and with absolutely no fur niture or utensils. "Tho Red Cross plans to do pro visional reconstruction of dwellings in several of these villages, and also, as the refugees return to the villages, to assist in their economic and social rehabilitation. In the light of ex perience gained in these villages, it plans to undertake provisional re construction on a larger scale. In these particular villages the total population before the war was 3,387. Now it is 235. "The villages first selected are those in the best wheat growing area, and the government will plow the land with tractors. The repair of the houses -will permit the return of the refugees who can do much toward getting the land sown to wheat this autumn. In order to encroach as little as possible on the limited supply of lumber, the Red Cross is selecting villages in which the work will be largely that of pro visional repair rather than of new construction. It plans to make on the spot its own brick and lime." SUCCESSFUL OPERATION RESTORES SIGHT OF GIRL, Knoxville.—The blighted hopes of a Knoxville mother were recently turned into the joy of a lifetime when her little daughter .aged four years and blind from birth, saw motheir and the beautiful things of earth for the first time. P.y a delicate operation Louise, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Tobett, was made to ee. The opera tion was performed in New York, where the mother had taken the child. Specialists assert that sight ■will be effective. iGERMANY PUBLISHES 1004 NOTES TO RUSSIA London.—The admiralty issues a German wireless message stating that the Norddeutsche Allgemelne Zettung has published notes dated November 28 and 29, 1904, which passed between the German ambas sador and the Russian foreign min ister concerning deliveries of coal during the Russo-Japanese war, and the attitude of England toward Ger many and Russia. Senator's Son Is Made Judge Advocate in Army MAJOR GUY D. GOFfT Major Guy D. Goff, son of Senator Goff, of West Virginia, now judge advocate in the army, wrs formerly United States attorney in Wisconsin * • and recently has been connected with the Department of Justice as special assistant to the Attorney General. At the ouset of the war he offered his services to the government in any capacity or in any department where it might be desired to place him. His appointment is taken to be recog nition of an unusual record in Wis consin. His father had a notable ex. perlence and was distinguished in the Union army in the Civil War. EIGHT-HOUR DAY DOESN'T APPLY TO WOMEN IN SHOPS Women employed in railroad car shops and roundhouses do not come within the provisions of the women's eight-hour-day law, according to a ruling of the Washington State At torney General's office, says the Spo kane Chronicle. The question was raised under the provision in the law wnich forbids women employed in "mechanical" trades to be employed more than eight hours per Jay. The ruling of the Attorney General is to the ef fect that the work of wiping en gines and other work assigned to the women by the railroads does not come under the strict interpretation of the word "mechanical." POLITE THIEF SEXT BACK THE WEDDING RING F. R. Potter, of Spokane, told the police one day that a sneak thief had entered his home and had stolen three rings and sls in money. One of the rings was the wedding circlet of his newly-married daughter. The next evening, says the Spo kane Chronicle, the thief read an item, telling of the loss. Maybe he had a married daughter of his own, or maybe remorse overtook him. Anyway, he decided to give the rings back. When Potter went to take In the milk one morning he found the rings, neatly sealed in an envelope, on the doorstep. But he's still out the sls. HAftIUSBURG TELEGRXPEG THE TRUTH ABOUT GERMANY By MARIE BONINI BROWN Germany Has a Real "Spy Scare"—The Hid den Passport Getting Married Under Difficulties—lnsults to the U. S. Flag. NO. S—SPIES AND SPYING. Since I have been back in America, I have heard a great deal about the "spy scare." The country is supposed to be filled with German spies. Perhaps it is, I do not know. But I am sure no spy scare could be worse than that which grips c. Germany every minute of the day and night. In Berlin, every place you go, you can see signs: "Beware of spies," "Look out for spies," "Be W? careful what you say." A short time after the war broke out, I was V walking along Unter den Linden when the j> v .people started running and I was swept along until I was on the outskirts of a mob of thou- & sands of people. An Englishman had been //sjk caught, in the uniform of a Red Cross nurse. t.;*\ Rj The police had hard work getting him out of the jjLL 8 .hands of the people, for they were trying to tear AsX®* him to pieces. **■" X heard of thousands of spies, or al leged spies, being: arrestod and exe cuted. In Germany they do not stand on ceremony with a Bpy. They sim ply kill him, or her, without delay. Everybody wfte afraid of oven his nearest relative or friend In Berlin. No matter how well you knew a per son, every once In a while you might detect him or her asklng'you sly little questions trying to trip you up to And out If you were a spy. You did not dare voice an opinion to any person for. If you did, you might sleep In jail that night. REGULATIONS VERT STRICT. They were very strict about the passports, too. No matter where you went out of the city—even a neutral— you had to have your passport stamped when you left and stamped In whatever town you visited. When you came back, you had to report to the police within two days or you would be arrested. I remember the case of a dear little Spanish woman. Spain was neutral, but her citizens were treated little better than enemies. This woman, and her little boy, aged about 3, went to visit relatives in a city a hundred miles or so from Berlin. When she came back the boy was 111. He had taken sick on the train and. in her anxiety she forgot all about reporting that she had returned. Her boy be came dangerously 111. But, at the end of two days, she received a summons to appear before the police. When she did, she was put in prison for three days—and her baby 111. She almost went crazy! She was not per mitted to return to her home before her prison sentonce had expired and she had to trust to the police to give such instructions at home as wero needful In caring for her baby. For tunately the baby did not die. Another incident concerned a Miss Wulker of the American consul's office In Berlin. Miss Walker still la in Berlin, I think, and If this story IF read there I hope they will take it as added confirmation of her innocence in this matter. MISS WALKER'S CASE. Of conrse, Americans were npt al lowed to send any personal letters for fear they might contain a code which would give information about Ger many. Miss Walker had not been able to get any word to her family In Chicago for weeks. She became anx ious and knew they would be worried about her, so she wrote a letter to them and. In some way, got It Into the Spanish mail pouch. It passed through, so far as we ever heard, but she received no reply. The mall had to go round byway of Hol land. Worried, she did a foolish thttig, telegraphed to a friend In the mall office In Holland, saying she had received no reply to her letter to her folks, and asking this friend to find out how they were. Of rourse German officers got hold of this telegram and promptly ar rested her. She was as near death as she ever will be without dying. None of her friends conld help her. The Germans were convinced she was a apy. Then. Capt. Tauscher came to the rescue.'America owes a vote of thanks to Capt. Tauscher for the way In which he has helped American women in Germany. He always did every thing he could for Amorlcans there, and many a woman, and man too, owes smooth sailing to Capt. Taus oher'a influence and kindness. Capt. Tauscher went to some high official, I don't know who, the kaiser for all I can tell, and vouched for Miss Walker'a Innocence. They released her from custody, but for months she was watched, practically day and night. THE HIDDEN PASSPORT. I, myself almost got into trouble once. It was foolish of me. but I was sure I could get away with It. The passport I got at the beginning of the war was good for two years. Before the United States entered the war, of course I could go wherever I pleased In Germany, by obeying the proper rules and regulations. My passport was tremendously In teresting to me. It was so stamped up and had been In BO many places, so, when the time came to get a new one,' I wanted to keep the old one. I put it in a vase in the pension where I was staying at the time, and went to the American embassy and said I had lost It. They questioned me closely, but I Insisted I had lost It. Then they said they would see what could be done. I had to advertise in the paper several days. (Copyrighted, 1917, Pittsburgh Press). CROP EXPERIMENTS MADE IN HAWAII Honolulu, Hawaii.—Although ac tive work on some of the propecta of the agronomy division of the Unit ed States experiment station,- Hono lulu. was suspended temporarily to enable it to concentrate its efforts toward bettering the food production situation, the annual report of C.

X was scared until I was white. He said he wanted to search my room. I didn't, know what was wrong, for I never thought of the passport. He searched it and, believe me, if I had been trying to hide a pin, I think he would have found it. Of coarse he found the passport. And the look he gave me! My knees Just buckled under me. "You said yon lost your passport," he said. "1 Just found It," I managed to gasp out, "and haven't hnd time yet to report It." l'lint was all that saved me. I was so frightened that I looked him straight In the eyes as I aald It and he believed It. k?*. er * S ot a new passport, but I certainly did not keep the old one. I realize now that I never would nave gotten out of Germany with It, for It would have been found at the frontier. INSULTS TO AMERICAN FLAG. I had a narrow escape from prison, for if they had not believed my "lost and found" story they would have thought I was a spy. sure. Every little auspicious circumstance la tak en right up to have a deep meaning over there. That is why they do not permit any persons to speak in Eng lish, not even over the telephone. They are afraid that, by using some unusual word, Information of somo sort may be passed along. You will be cut off if you try to speak Eng lish on 'he telephone. The first year of the war, catching spies was almost as common as catching flies. Hut this last year, only once in a long time did we hear of any spy being caught. Really I don't see how a spy can live very long in Germany, so close a watch Is kept on every person In its borders, ospeclally in the big cities. - I'll venture to say that, from the time the war broke out, the German war office has a record of every place 1 wont, every person I talked to or wrote to and, almost every thought I thought. Hardly the last though, or I never would have gotten out. Even before the United States en tered the war, the American flag trm Insulted and treated lightly. To wear It naa no protection to any person. And after the United States and Italy both entered the war, I had bard lines. The Germans hate the Ital ians, as they say Italy broke her agreement with the Central powers when she entered the war. The Ger mans say they never, never will enter Italy, except as conquerors. My name before I married was very Ital ian, and I received many alurs be cause of it. Then when I would sny I waa American, that was worse yet. As much as I could I supported my parents' country, Itnly, and my own, America, but sometimes I had to take slurs and Insults to save my lib erty and, I
