Anti-Bolsheviki Leaders
Will Be Suppressed
Petrograd, Tuesday, Dec. 11. —The
constitutional democratic party will
not be permitted to get control of
the constituent assembly by the
Bolsheviki, according to a statement
issued by the official news bureau.
"In the event of a majority of the
constituent assembly not being in fa
vor of the Workmen's and Soldiers'
Councils," the statement says, "it is
proposed to exclude the constitu
tional democrats who are frankly
counter-revolutionary and who
should not meddle with the work t>f
organization and to hold re-elections
in view of the suborning of electoral
committees in many places by the
constitutional democrats.
"In any case the masses will only
support a constituent assembly
whose members guarantee them
land, peace and liberty. The com
missaries will not hand over power
which has been entrusted to them
by the congress of Workmen's and
Soldiers' Delegates to an assembly
which will overrule the will of the
people.
"The demonstration with the
watchword 'all power to the con
stituent assembly' organized by the
constitutional democrats. Minimal
ists and Social Revolutionists will in
no way alter the situation. All power
remains in the hands of the soldiers
and peasants and those who defend
their interests."
The Bolshevlki intend to compel'
the constituent assembly to be sub
servient to them, says the Petrograd
correspondent of the Times. He
quotes the Pravda, the Bolshevlki or
gan. as saying:
"The only constituent assembly
which will be recognized by the
workmen, soldiers and peasants is
one giving them bread, peace and
land. The nation recognizes only
one law—the furtherance of its in
terests. Those who refuse to obey
that law will be compelled to submit
by force."
Petrograd, Dec. 12. —The Bolshe
vik* government issued a decree or
dering the arrest and trial by revo
lutionary tribunals of the leaders of
the constitutional democratic party
assisting the counter revolution. Tho
decree also orders the local Work
men's and Soldiers' Councils to take
steps against the constitutional
democratic organization in view of
its relations with Generals Kaledines
and Kornlloff.
BIG MASSED ATTACK
BY TEUTONS REPULSED

result. Northeast of Verdun the
heavy artillery battle goes on with
out cessation.
Weather conditions on the Italian
front are becoming more favorable
to the defenders of the Venetian
plains. Snow is falling and the Ital
ians hope this aid will help in ham

FOUR ADDITIONAL
FIRE DRIVERS MAY
BE EMPLOYED
Commissioner Gross to Ex
plain His Attitude in Ask- '
ing For Statements
Employment of four additional
fire apparatus drivers to be used as
substitutes so that each of the regu
lar drivers will be off duty one day
each week, will be urged by Com
missioner Gross, superintendent of
the fire and park departments, ac
cording to an announcement he
made to-day. At present none of
the drivers is off duty except Dy spe
cial permission.
Another move which Commission,
er Gross said ho will probably make
to cut down the maintenance cost of
the department will be to purchase
all the coal and gasoline used by the
fourteen companies by advertising
for bids for a contract to furnish a
supply for the entire year.
"If this is not done there will be
no way of checking up how musb is
needed by each company. The re
sult will be that each year in the fu
ture appropriations would bo made
for the fuel without any definite
knowledge of just how much was
consumed. Not only that but by
purchasing by contract I am satis
fied the city can be saved a fair sum
each year."
Commissioner Gross also said he
had been misunderstood If any of
the companies thought he intended
to audit their books. "I do not care
what they do with their corifljany
funds but I want to know how many
unpaid bills are outstanding. My
only reason for asking a sworn
statement of the financial standing
of the companies is to determine
how much money sojno of the com
panies have spent from their pri
vate funds to pay bills for feed, coal
and similar items. If the debts of
some companies are paid by the city,
other companies who paid outstand
ing debts with company funds should
be reimbursed."
A meeting to start work on the
budget for 1918 may be held emly
next week. A general request for
salary increases is anticipated by a
number of the commissioners.

Star-Independent
as State Offices?
Members of the State Public Serv
ice Commission to whom it was sug
gested that, the Star-Independent
building in South Third street, would
furnish sufficient space for grouping
all of the branches of the commis
sion under one roof, are said to be
of the opinion that the cost of re
modeling the old printing plant
structure for state uses would be too
high for the present. For some time
the commissioners have been en
deavoring to get their bureaus
grouped, which is impossible in the
crowded condition of the State Cap
itol, and the old plan of the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs being moved
to the north wing entresol floor and
the Mines Department taking the
Public Service suite was revived.
The remodeling of the Star-Inde
pendont will bo an expensive propo
sition, but it is said that figures on
the work will be obtained. Auditor
General Snyder is said' to look with
favor on the switching of depart
ments in the Capitol.

The condition of Henry Johnson,

Steelton negro, yesterday, and was
taken to the emergency hospital of
the Bethlehem Steel plant, and later
to the Harrisburg Hospital. The knife
had entered the left eye and the man
lost a great deal of blood. It was
thought yesterday that the would not
live, but his improved condition gives
ground for hope. Rebels was arrest

Stomach Medicines
Are Dangerous
Harmful Arid* In Stomach That
Cause IndlKotlon Should be
Neutrallmed with Magnrala
Just how dangerous it is to indis-i
crlmlnately dose the stomach with
drugs and medicines, is often not
realized until too late. It seems so
simple to swallow a dose of soma
special mixture or take tablets of
soda, pepsin, bismuth, etc., after
meals, and the folly of this drugging
is not apparent until, perhaps years
afterward, when it is found that gas
tric ulcers have almost eaten their
way through the stomach walls. Re
grets are then unavailing; it Is in the
early stages when indigestion, dys
pepsia, heartburn, gas, flatulence,
sourness, etc., indicate excessive acid
ity of the stomach and fermentation
of food contents that precaution
should be taken. Drugs and medi
cines are unsuitable and often dan
gerous—they have little or no influ
ence upon the harmful acid, and that
is why doctors are discarding them
and advising sufferers from indiges
tion and stomach trouble to get rid
of the dangerous acid and keep the
food contents sweet and wholesome
by taking a little pure Bisurated
Magnesia instead. Blsurated Mngne
sia is an absolutely pure anti-acid
which can be readily obtained from
Geo. A. Gorgas or any reliable drug
store. It is absolutely harmless, is
practically tasteless and a teaspoon
ful or two tablets taken in a little
warm or cold water after meals, will
usually be found quite sufficient .to
Instantly neutralize excessive acidity
of the stomach and prevent all pos
sibility of the food fermenting.
