SNYDER'S ORDER GOVERNOR ASKS
CREATES A STIR RED CROSS AID;
He- Says That He Is Simply
Working For Economy and
Not Camouflaging
About half the departments on Cap
itol llill were in a flutter to-day over
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder s
notice that he would refuse to pay (
liewly-appointed clerks and other at- ,
taelies unless shown that their serv
lees were absolutely necessary to the
state and that he would not honor any
increases of salaries lately established ,
for the same reason. In several de
partments men hastened to show that
thev were appointed to till vacancies j
caused by others going to war, while ,
those who got Increases in pay lately, j
especially those recommended during
the Hari-isburg municipal campaign,
were in the dumps. '
The Auditor General will insist
upon being shown why new people
or increases of salary were necessary
in the Labor and Industry. State In
surance Fund. Public Service and oth
er departments. Some of the increases
have already been beaded off, while
the Public Service Commission will
have to use its own stenographers
after January 1. , j
Mr. Snyder said before leaving for
home last night that he had noticed
many business and industrial plants
are getting on a war basis and that
economy is now the rule and that he
believed it a oo<l thing for the state
to show an example. He refused to
give any names or even to indicate,
what departments bad been asked to
cJplaln or been given notice.
It transpired to-day some heads of
departments intended to see the Gov-]
ernor whether to tight.
OTTAWA AM) KITCHENER 1
Ottawa, Ont.—The merchants of
Ottawa feel very strongly the insult j
put upon Sir Robert Borden, Premier
of Canada, l>y the disloyal element
of Kitchener, Ont. (previously known
as Berlin) and at a meeting held
here recently the opinion was \ oiced
that not only was the refusal to
listen to the Premier at the recent
public meeting, which he was to
have addressed there, an insult to
him but an open insult to the name
of Canada.
Why Physicians Prescribe
Bitro-Phosphate
For Weak Nerves
FRENCH SPECIALISTS CLAIM TIIIS
ORGANIC PHOSPHATE IS ACT) -
ALLY CONVERTED INTO Ll\ -
INC. NERVE TISSUE.
The rapid increase in the use by
plivslclans and nerve specialists of
the organic nerve building and easily
assimilated phosphate known among
ilruepists a* Bitro-Phosphate is cine
almost entirely to the remarkably
I'M vorabio results obtained by special -
i of \vo*ld-wide' fame and reputa
tion. Tt is. therefore, only logical
that doctors throughout the country
should be urged wherever possible to
prescribe Bitro-Phosphate instead of
narcotic or stimulant habit-forming
drugs or alcoholic preparations in the
treatment of nervousness, neurastne
nia. sleeplessness, nervous debility,
jack of energy, mental depression,
etc. '
B< in£ a food which, according: to
Robin and other French authorities is
actually assimilated and converted in;
to livinK nerve tissue, Bitro-Phos
phate. which is readily obtainable of
any druggist in the form of 5-grain
tablets, is strongly rw-ommended for
the use not only of tnose who suffer
as indicated above, but also to those
who wish to increase their nerve
strength, vim, vigor, vitality and
powers of endurance. It is especially
valuable to aviators, motorists, gun
nel s and men In the various branches
of the armv and navy, where strong,
steadv nerves are of vital importance.
Cut out drugs and alcoholic stimu
lants. Take one 5-grain tablet ol
Bitro-Phosphate with each meal and
iiute how quickly your, entire being
begins to overflow with that vim,
v.gor and vitality which make life
trulv worth living. It is sold in this
ritv by C. M. Forney, Geo. A. Gorgas,
11. C. Kennedy and all good druggists.

FRIDAY EVENING, . HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Issues Proclamation in Behalf
of the Organization's Work
For Cause of Humanity
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh:
i
last night issued a proclamation in i
behalf of the Red Cross. The proc
lamation calls for the whole state to j
i aid the movement.
"Whereas, the President of the j
1 United States has called upon Amer-j
[ lean patriotism to make a Christmas
' offering of ten millions of new raem
; hers to the American Red Cross and
the Pennsylvania Division has been
requested to secure two millions of;
these members, and
"Whereas, This is the first Christ
mas ot' our participation in this,
world war, it is a situation full of!
grave concern for all thoughtful peo
ple. The Christmas spirit will be
different in thousands of Pennsylva
nia homes. Lover ones will not be
l in the home group. The thoughts
| and the prayers of our people will be
i given for those now in the service
ion land and on sea. For their wel
fare, their safety, their speedy re
turn from a victorious campaign we
| slu-.1l all devoutly supplicate <>"r
j Heavenly Father. We will be most
| availing in our prayers if we alsoi
I engage in good works, and
"Whereas. Heartily supporting the!
! Red Cross is both a high duty and a I
I lofty service, since it is the conserv- '■
|ing spirit in the time of carnage. I
| To its splendid equipment, its faith-1
1 ful service, its effective ministrations'
| we turn confidently in the days when 1
jour hearts are torn and our spirits l
' are crushed. It merits and must
; have the unreserved assistance of all.
To iR? great work the humblest as
well as the highest can contribute.
"Therefore, I Martin Grove Brum
baugh, Governor of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
call upon and urge all our people,
men, women and children, to come
I forth gladly on December, seven
j teenth —twenty-fifth and join the
! American Red Cross. In no otheF
1 way can we so closely bring to our
own people a sense of spiritual unity
I and to our soldiers and sailors, to
gether with those of our allies, an ex
pression of our loyalty and our ef-
I fective sympathy. Let Pennsylvania
; lead in this lofty endeavor. Let it;
j be known everywhere that our peo
j pie sense the meaning of this great
| good and are quick to give it unani-
I mous support. In the spirit of Christ
| mas. to promote ultimate peace and
j perpetual goodwill throughout the
! earth, join the Red Cross."

to Disciplinary Barracks
Washington. Dec. 14. First steps
to place soldiers of German or Austro-
I Hungarian birth or extraction at duty
apart from the actual tightinK forces
appear in to-day's Army orders.
Orders show the transfer of nearly
• 100 enlisted men of the Regular or
I National Army to duty to the disci
plinarv barracks guard at Fort
enwor'th. Kansas. The list contains
hardly a name that does not appear to
be of German, Austrian or Hungarian
origin. • There are several noncommis
sioned officers. All will be privates
in the barracKs guard.
Most of the transfers are from Na
tional Army units at Camp Dix,

For Track Workers '
'
Notwithstanding there are 600 <
I i
women applicants for positions on l ]
the Pennsylvania Railroad in thisj !
city and 110 positions to fill, the! i
Pennsy is advertising in eastern <
newspapers for help. Women are ]
wanted for positions at Reading, j
Pottsville, and Norristown.
The company Is advertising forj
more women, because of the scar-1 '
city of men. No woman under 251
will be engaged. There was a mis-j
taken idea that the company only
j wanted those under 25. The offi
cials feel that those over 25 will be
better able to perform the work as
signed to them.
Women For Track Work
At Norristown Porter Allen, su
pervisor of the Pennsylvania Rail
road here, says he will employ as
laborers about stations and on tracks
hereabouts "women more than 251
years of age and physically fit." |
This is the first time an effort has
been made here to get women to
take men's work at hard labor. \
At Reading the first
woman was employed for service in
the repair shops at that place. She
gave her name as Florence Weidman
and said her husband was in the
I United States Army, She was put
to work cleaning up the work plat- |
forms. She reported for duty wear- t
ing regulation overalls.
In this city applications are still j
coming in notwithstanding that an j
announcement was made several!
weeks ago that there are no vacan- I
cies to fill for women.

It is said the Pennsy and Reading

150 Clerks and Carriers
in City Interested in
Salary Increase Bill
There are 150 clerks and carriers!
at the Harirsburg post office who are
deeply interested in the Madden bill
now pending in Congress which pro
vides for an increase in their com
pensation amounting to 25 per cent.
More tha ten years have elapsed
since the compensation of the car
riers and clerks was fixed and .the
enormous increase of living expenses
within that period has made neces
sary the proposed increase of
salaries. The decreased buying
power of the dollar has aggravated
the situation so far as these, faithful
servants of the people are concerned.
"Next Wedrtesday the bill will be
taken up for a vote and as it is re
garded as somewhat in the nature
of an emergency measure it is en
tirely probable that it will become a
law. The force of clerks and car
riers in this city have the universal
good will of -the community which
will be more than pleased to sec the
Madden bill go through.

Break Freight Blockade j
Plan of Eastern Board
The action or the operating? com
mittee of the eastern railroads in
placing an embargo on east-bound
export freight, except Government
shipments, will clear up the traffic
Hituaton to a great extent, is the be
lief of local snipping men.
This will tend, they think, to clear
up the congestion on the Atlantic
seaboard. A man in the West or Mid
dle U est, to make an export shipment
after December 20. will have to wire
the steamship company for space.
Miould the steamship line be able to
book the goods it would first have
to communicate ' with the operating
committee, stating It had space, tell
ing what the (foods were, how much,
who was the shipper and on what
railroad his plant was located, if it
gave .i permit the committee would
say what road the shipment was to
come over and give orders to forward
the shipment.
It is said that only about 7 per
cent, of the shipments made are pri
vate consignments; nearly all of the
goods now being exported are for
government order.

With this idea in mind he consulted
