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

"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

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

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.

I thought everything was going
along smoothly, when one evening, a
German soldier came to the penaion
and asked for me. 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

and he believed It.

certainly did not keep the old one.
I realize now that I never would

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 <lo not doubt, my life.
GETTING MARRIED.
When Mr. Brown came over to
marry me, he asked me one day
where he would go to got a little
American flag to wear In his button
hole so people would know he wasn't
English. I told him I didn't know
and, if I did, I wouldn't get It, for I
would not dare go in a store and ask
for It. That was hard for him to
understand at first but, after he had
been there a few weclts, he under
stood.
When we did get married, we ha<T
more trouble that If we had wanted
to rob a bank. We had to be mar
ried by a lawyer eventually. We
had to go to the American embassy
and gret an Interpreter tg go with us.
We had no birth certificates or
papers of that kind and we had to
make affidavits without number. 1
know, when Anally we presented our.
selves for the actual marriage cere
mony. we each had a stack of paper*
on which we had sworn various
things, four Inches thick. It seemed,
at times, that the whole mnchinerr
of the German nation \was In force to
prevent our getting married. But,
finally we did.
My husband left Germany before
the re(U trouble for American*
started, ahd I was glad, for if an
American woman had a hard time
there, an American man had it much
worse.
Even the Germans would not put a
woman to as many InconvenienceH
and troubles as a man—and that !H

fchcape the persecution which was
heaped upon them in England, and
in fact in whatever country In which
they took refuge. After surmounting
many difficulties they tfnally secured j
enough money to purchase two ves

flower. When the Speedwell proved
unseaworthy the band of one hun
dred and two brave men and their
wives and children embarked aboard
the Mayflower for their new land.
September 18 is the date of the
battle of Harlem Heights, N. Y., in
1776; and the battle of Antletam
commenced in 1862. It is the litrth
