12 LIVELY GUN FIGHTS AT MOUNT WOLF Xwo Negro Employes at Stone Quarries Wounded in Sunday Battles Mount Wolf, Pa., Oct. B.—ln two separate gun fights yesterday at the Union stone quarries, about two miles from this place, two negroes were wounded by fellow employes and had to be taken to the office of Dr. J. C. May, at Manchester, where the bullets were removed, and their wounds dressed. The first fight occurred about 1:30 o'clock, when a negro by the name o£ Jones shot and wounded another "by the name of Collins in the left thigh. He was taken to the office of Dr. May by a white man, William Hoover, who lives close to the quar ries. He had no more than been taken back and the excitement died out, when another shot was heard. This time It was another colored man by the name of Edward Ed wards who was shot in the groin by Ben Banks. This fight, it is claimed, as well as the first one, resulted over a game the men were playing. Ed wards was also hurried to the doc tor's office, where the bullet was re moved. Edwards had a close call. Had the bullet entered the body a lit tle higher, there ts no doubt that his assailant would have a murder charge to face. Fights among a number of the ne gro employes at the quarries are fre quent, and gun play is sometimes re sorted to. On last Labor Day four of them engaged in a fight with guns, j and only poor markmanship saved, them from hitting each other. On that occasion they fired about fifty shots at each other from behind trees and rocks. During the fracas the other employes took to cover, and only emerged after the men had spent their fury and ammunition. Yestercjay was payday at the quarry. Officers are iiv search of the men who did the shooting. MRS. A. It. I.EHR DIES Marietta. Pa., Oct. 7. —Mrs. Adeline B. Llhr, of Millersville. died last | night, agad S4 years.

WHARTON SCHOOL OPENS TONIGHT Many Women Are Enrolled For Course; Registration Nearly Normal To-night marks the opening of tho J school year 1917-1918 of the Harris- I burg Extension of the Wharton j School of Finance and Commerce, | University of Pennsylvania. Classes ! will meet at the Technical High I school building at 7.45 p. m. when I details of enrollment will be dis j posed of and Professor G. A. Mac ! Farland will lecture to the first year ; class-on accounting principles. Pro ! fessors E. P. Moxey and E. S. Mead ! will meet the third year classes in | auditing and investments. Classes I will be held thereafter every Mon day, Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thurs i day evening throughout the fall and spring, with vacation periods at | Christmas and Easter. The opening is one week later than I had been planned owing largely to ; the unsettled conditions prevailing | at all the large universities due to ' war conditions. The entering class, while not so large as in some pre vious years, compares very favorab ly with past years In number and also with the entering classes in the other extension school cities. Read ing. Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, all of which are much larger cities than Harrisburg. This condition is due to the able manner in which Profes sor Thomas A. Bartley, of the Uni : versity faculty conducted the work | of registration in Harrisburg this fall, assisted by the alumni and students of the school, prominent among whom were Messrs. Henry Levin, Charles Pruss and Epliriam Benner. Still Possible to Enter While formal registration closed on Friday evening of last week it is still possible for new students to en ter. provided they confer with the faculty representatives who will be present on Monday evening or other evenings this week. After the end of this week, however, it will be im possible to accept further registra tion. Many Women Enrolled A feature this year is the num ber of women who have registered for the three-year course. The privi lege is given to women in any of the extension cities to take the work on the same footing as men which Is not possible in Philadelphia, the Wharton school there being one of the few departments of the Univer sity which is not coeducational. A'very large number of last year's graduating class will also be present again this year, almost half of the graduates who are not in the Army having registered for the special postgraduate course in auditing and investments. Any person who is interested in the work of the school is cordially invited, to attend the classes on Mon-1 day evening. In this way they Willi be accorded an excellent opportunity of seeing the school at work. WAR VETERAN DIES Mt. Joy. Pa.. Oct. 8. Francis H. Arndt. died on Friday, aged 85.

STATE MAY EQUAL EXPECTATIONS Hopes That It Will Reach 140,000 Additional Acres of Wheat Running High officials who have been go ing over reports coming to the De partment of Agriculture from the I wheat raising counties declare that ! there is a good possibility of the ' Keystone State meeting tho request of the national food authorities to add fourteen per cent, to its wheat acreage for next year's crop. In spite of the labor shortage and the | pests and the weather, wheat yield j this year is estimated to be some ! thing between twenty and twenty i four million bushels. This Is a de- I cline from last year. The' acreage | this year was 1,382,100 and if the ; national request is carried out it j would mean 140,000 more acres in I wheat. In the southern counties of Pennsylvania, which are.admirably adapted for wheat raising, there have been many additional acres put into grain this year. In some sections farmers put land into buckwheat last year and this year and will hereafter plant wheat and then enter upon the usual rotation of crops, which Is the bible of agriculture in this section. The greatest drawback to the farm ers this year is labor, due to the de mands of industry and the Army and old men, women, boys and girls are no uncommon sight in the fields of southern counties now. Although state experts have reported that corn is better suited to the central belt ! of counties than wheat and that | buckwheat is more suited to nortli- I ern counties there have been report |ed some good sized acreages of j wheat. As a general rule the farm i ers are planting wheat late this year | to avoid pests. Penna. Soldiers at Camp Hancock to Hurl Bombs Augusta. Ga., Oct.

Against this policy tho United States strongly protested, and Germany seemingly changed her tac tics. In the fall of 1916. when she had reached the greatest possible mili tary success. Germany proposed peace on terms which would have made her the dominant power in the world. Neutral states were clearly warned that if they did not help to bring about peace on this basis, their commerce would be ruthlessly at tacked. Despite this insulting threat. Pres ident Wilson attempted to bring about universal peace. He asked all the warring powers on what basis they would stop the war. The reply of Germany was unsatisfactory; the replies of the Allies showed their de- sire to recognize ttie rights of all nations. In January, 1917, the President In an address to Congress held up to the world his Ideal of a league of na tions, in which the nations should give up their armies and navies. The peace of the world should bo pro tected by a common army and navy. While the United States had been using all its lnfiuenoe to bring about a Just and lasting peace, the German government was simply gaining time, as her Chancellor afterward stated, to build submarines. The submarines were to be used to cut off all com merce with her enemies. On Feb ruary 1, 1917, the new submarine warfare was begun. Three days later the German Ambassador was told to leave Washington. The German government started vigorously on itA submarine policy. It was, as the President said, "a war fare i against mankind," H a war against all nations," "a challenge to all mankind." On April 2. 1917, the President ad dressed the special session of Con gress, advising them that the course of the German government was in fact war against the government and the people of the United States; that in such a government us that of Germany we could never have a friend. With it. lying in wait, there could be no security for democratic governments anywhere in the world. On April 6 the two Houses of Con gress by overwhelming votes de clared that a state of war existed between tho United States rnd the Imperial German government. The United States had entered the world war. To-morrow we shall note in detail the real causes of our (entrance into WBDDINQ INVITATIONS ISSUED Annvllle, Pa., Oct.
