Telegraph Readers Get All the News TELEGRAPH readers In Har risburg last evening were given the full score and story of yesterday's world champion ship baseball game. No other newspaper in the Central Penn sylvania field was able to give all its home readers this news. The Telegraph's direct and exclusive Associated Press service, with an operator in the baseball grounds and another in the Telegraph of fice, and the big metropolitan press enabled this newspaper to score this remarkable beat. Another "scoop" which Tele graph readers alone of all other evening papers in this field en joyed yesterday, was an account of the mutiny in the German Heel a story that was spread under glaring headlines by the big city papers of this morning. These beats are in line with th 9 accounts of the Russian revolt, the landing of first American troops in France, the great vol canic eruption in Central Amer ica and the Pope's peace mes sage, which appeared first In the Telegraph and not until many hours later in any other Harris burg newspaper. Telegraph readers get all the news, and get it first. U. S. GUNNERS GET ACQUAINTED WITH HEAVY ARTILLERY Americans Given Valuable Training Just Behind French Lines By Associated Press American Training Camp in Prance, Oct. 11. —Not far behind tha American field artillery, which has been in training in a rugged section of France for the past two months, have come the men of the "heavies." They are veteran gunners and many are familiar with the big guns at home and they greeted almost as comrades the monster French weap ons which they are now grooming for eventual use against the Ger mans. Some of the guns with which the American artillerymen are training are wonderful and ponderous ex amples of the French gunmakers skill and daring.

Germany financed Irish-American propaganda organizations in the United States as early as 1909 to combat the newly developed movement for celebration of one hundred years of peace be tween America and Great Britain, President Wilson has learned from leaders in the centenary celebration. John A. Stewart, of New York, chairman of the American branch of the centenary committee, who re cently called at the White House with H. S. Perris, of London, a lead er in the British phase of the move ment, brought evidence that within five weeks after announcement of 'he centenary plans early in 1909, Ger man and Irish-American Interests in the United States formed a number or associations and leagues to foster interest in German affairs. Most of these organizations. Mr. Stewart informed the President shortly became merged with the American Truth Society, whose pres. ident, Jeremiah O'Leary, was men tioned in the secret message to Count \on Bernstorff from the German government, disclosed yesterday by Secretary Lansing. One of the ac tivities of the organization was to erect elaborate monuments over the graves of prominent German-Ameri cans, and to give publicity to his toric roles played by Germans in the United States. Development of the British-American peace centenarv Iriovement was combatted by the German propagandists in a multi tude of ways, extending even to lob bying against bills in state legisla tures to promote success of the cen tenary celebration planned for 1914 and disarranged by the war. Mr. Stewart offered to place at the disposal of the President or state department records of the British- American peace centenary commit- Itee, indicating that German-Irish propaganda to exploit American puh lic opinion came into existence at least eight years ago.

Smith, of this eity, was held by Judge Itrown, of the Municipal Court, in SIO,OOO bail for the grand Jury on six charges involv ing misbehavior in office, contempt of court in refusing to produce cer tain documentary evidence, conspi racy to violate the election law for bidding city employes from partici pating in politics, conspiracy to com mit assault and battery, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and battery and conspiracy to commit murder. Three other principal defendants, William K. Finley, a city official ai'd leader of the mayor's faction of the Republican party: Isaac Deutscli, a member of councils and an aspirant for the political leadership of the Fifth ward and David Bennett, a po lice lieutenant aligned with the mayor's faction, were also held in SIO,OOO bail on the four latter charges. Five policemen accused of thug gery in the Fifth ward on primary election day were held in $5,000 bail each on the same four charges. Scathing Rebuke The proceeding grew out of rioting and murder in what is known as the "bloody Fifth ward." located on the river front and peopled by a mixture of all nationalities. They had been brought to the city from New York the day before the primary election of September 19 for the purpose, it was alleged, of intimidating voters and workers opposed to the faction favored by Mayor Smith and his po litical associates. But the intimida tion went too far and one of the thugs killed p policeman who was de fending a citizen from murderous as sault. Public indignation was arous ed to a high pitch and has been fur ther aroused by a succession of sen sational developments in the court room where the mayor and his eight codefendants surrounded by counsel listened to damaging testimony brought out by the prosecution. In holding the defendants Judge Brown said: "1 arreo with James Gay Gordon, chief prosecuting coun sel representing the district attorney, that Mayor Smith is the chief and prime malefactor in the murder con spiracy and the disgrace which the country has witnessed."
