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.

MONDAY EVENING, HXRRTSBURG SS TEI.EGIO OCTOBER 8, 1917.
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.

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.

merce was interfered with. Then be
gan tho German policy of sinking
unarmed ships—first of her enemies
only; then American and other neu
tral vessels. 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.
