ALSACE DEMAND
BLOCKING PEACE,
REICHSTAG TOLD
No End to War, Says Mi
cliaelis, So Long as Allies
Ask Piece of German Soil
Amsterdam, Oct. 11. —At the plen
ary sitting of the Reichstag yester
day Dr. George Michaelis, tHe Im
perial German Chancellor, asserted
that peace was impossible as long as
Germany's enemies demanded any
German soil or endeavored to drive
a wedge between the German peo
ple and their Emperor. The speech
of the Chancellor was delivered
during the discussion of the resolu.
tion against propaganda in the army
in favor of a German peace.
"We would get along much bet
ter," said the Chancellor, "if those
who combat the peace resolution of
July 19, and assert that its sup
porters want a separate peace, would
be more just toward this resolution.
Wo must work out in their positive
sense, and forcefully, the aims com
prised in this resolution. We must
be clear in our minds as to what we
desire and must emphasize what was
said in the resolution.
"The German nation will stand
together as one man, unshakable,
and persevere in the fight until its
right and the rights of our allies to
existence and development are as
sured. Tn its unity the German em
pire is invincible.
Funds Needed to
Continue Riprapping
Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross an
nounced to-da.v that practically all
ground nee'ded for fill along the
river Mopes from Hamilton to Calder
streets had been obtained, but the
remainder of the riprapping which
was started early in the summer
could not be completed until sufficient
funds are available. He stated be is
conferring with the other commis
sioners to find enough money to
complete the work as soon as possi
ble, as he realized a floor early next
year will wash away some of the fill j
unless the riprapping is completed to
protect the bank.
While the fiscal year will sonii
close and many of the funds are al
most exhausted. Commissioner Gross
said he hoped to find enough to be
available for completion of this im
portant work. Planting of the slopes
from Maclay to Hamilton streets,
which have already been riprapped
will be started soon.
Semaphore System Is
Favored by Officials
With traffic troubles constantly in
creasing in Harrisburg a number of
city officials to-day said they believ
ed one of the systems which would
help solve some of the difficulties
will be the use of semaphores at a
number of the busiest street inter
sections. It is understood one or two
may be used to try the system and
if it is found as successful as the of
ficials expect, more will probably be
used.
It is believed Council will act fav
orably on the question of purchas
ing the semaphores, as the commis
sioners admit the traffic problem is
one which needs attention.

DEMOCRATS BASE
HOPES ON "IF"
"Ginger" Going to Be Missing
Because Wherewithal Is
Not Coming In
The Democratic campaign in Dau-
E.'.lf 1 . county was opened with a bis
•IF by the West End Democratic
Association at a meeting laat night
at which a number of the candidates
made addresses.
The gist of their remarks appears
to be that "if" the Republican can
didates were not so well known, and
Hf" the Democratic candidates were
better known, and "if" the people
could be persuaded that they ought
t° vote for the Democratic nominees,
and "if" there were not so many Re
publicans in Dauphin county, some
of the Democratic candidates might
stand some chance of election this
fall. Otherwise the meeting was
given over to discussions ol' forlorn
hopes and hopes that by all circum
stances should have been forlorn but
apparently were blooming as luxuri
antly as Democratic hopes are wont
to do in Dauphin county just previ
ous to each election, regardless of
the perennial frost that always
comes along the morning after.
John H. Maloney, president of the
association, and one of the best
known Democrats in the city, pre
sided and introduced N the speakers,
who included County Chairman
Stacker and City Chairman Mac Wi
lliams.
After the meeting general discus
sion developed the fact that the
local bosses of the machine are not
coming across with any money for
the campaign this fall and that
therefore it is doubtful just how
much "ginger* can be thrown into
it. There was considerable dissatis
faction with this on the part of
those who think the bosses ought
to be as generous in off years as
when they themselves want the
more important offices for them
selves, on which occasion the cash
bag is always open and there is no
limit to the campaign kitty.

COMPANY D HAS LONG
SERVICE CO IT
UNDER ORDERS
Company D. Eighth Pennsylvania
Infantry, held a farewell dinner at
Camp Hancock on Sunday evening,
prior to the proposed dismemberment
of the company in the reorganization
of the Twenty-eighth (Pennsylvania)
Division.
An excellent menu, including chick
en corn soup and fricassee of chicken,
a la Hancock, was merely incidental
to the occasion. Some excellent
speeches were made.
Company D has a proud history,
and many reminiscences of other days
wdre reviewed at the dinner.
IlntFM Back to >57
This company dates back to the
organization of the City Zouaves, In
May, 1857. The table on which the
members signed the roll in the Capi
tol Building was the one on which
the Declaration of Independence was
signed. In 1862 reorganization was
effected as Company A of the One
Hundred Twenty-seventh Pennsylva
nia Volunteer Infantry. The company
was detailed as Provost Guard at
the Capitol at Washington, and by
special request of President Lincoln
gave an exhibition drill upon the
White House lawn. The members of
the company were mustered out as
nine-month men, but the organization
was maintained and was called into
service three times before the close
of the Civil War.
During the troubled war-time this
company assisted in protecting the
bridges over the Susquehanna river at
llarrisburg.
More than fifty per cent, of the first
company, became commissioned offi
cers, among them being one brigadier
general, two colonels and one major.
Held High ItatlngH
In 1869 reorganization was effected
as a company of Pennsylvania Na
tional Guard, City Zouaves. In 1873
the designation of the company was
ers, on the raising of Pennsylvania's
war fund. Three and a half millions
of dollars will be raised through the
Y. M .C. A.'s of the state for the Na
tional War Fund. The conference
will formulate plans to make the
campaign a success.
About 150 students will attend the
conference, which opens at 10
o'clock. Representatives from every
prominent college and school in the
state .will be present.

changed to City Grays, Company D,
Eighth Regiment Infantry.
The company participated In the
Centennial of 1876, also in five presi
dential inaugurations and in the inau
guration of fourteen Pennsylvania
governors. It held the highest official
rating in the Pennsylvania Division
for six successive years.
In 1898, in answer to the call of the
President, the company volunteered
for service in the Spanish-American
War. During this time the company
was stationed at Camp Alger, Don
Loring, Va.; Camp Meade, near Har
risburg. and Camp McKenzie, Augusta,
Ga. While at the latter city, the com
pany served as Provost Guard in the
city and maintained their excellent
record for efficiency and good con
duct.
On June 22, 1915, Company D re
sponded to the call of the President
and served on the Mexican border,
being located at El Paso, Tex. They
