Largest Delegation From Hav
erford College; Unit Was
Formed Last July
Philadelphia, Dec. 14. Although
the first unit of Quakers to go to
France arrived but a short time ago,
its members are already at* work, in
many places under tire. Professor
* Itufus M. Jones, of Haverford Col
lege', chairman of the comm'ittee in
i barge, declared to-day. There are
one hundred and twenty American
men and thirty American women In
the body which is known as the;
American Friends Reconstruction
tTiiit. All volunteered without com
pensation. the largest delegations
having come from llaverford College,
Haverford, Pa., and Karlham College,
Indiana.
The first report of the work of the 1
unit, which was organized last July,
was sent here through Dr. .lanies A. !
Babbitt, field director. His report!
states that the American unit is |
working in Ornans, Dole, Samoens.
Kntremont, Golanoourt, Earn and
Uruny and adjacent villages, and that
at Golancourt the men are housed in I
a loft with a stone floor, without san- |
itation, engaged in work which
makes it difficult for them to keep
dry or warm.
RAILROADS TIED
UP BY SNOWSTORM

to send any trains out of Harrisburg.
All the energy on the main line was
used in getting freight trains mov
ing that were caught in last right's
big storm. Every available crew on i
the Middle and Philadelphia divi
sion not in service when the storm
started last night, were called out to:
relieve crews tied" up along the main I
line.
Motive Power Scarce
To make matters worse the Pennsy
is short of motive power. Tt was out
of the question to wait for passenger
trains to send the relief crews out,
and what engines could be had were
used in taking the crews to points!
on the Middle and Philadelphia di
visions where crews were held up by
the snow drifts.
Middle Division Trouble
Between Marysville and Altoona,
it was said that at least thirty freight |
trains were tied up, mostly east-1
bound. Trackmen. construction j
gangs and shopmen were ordered j
out last night to assist on opening!
the lines. The greatest trouble isj
with switches, and in the yards atl
Altoona and along the division. It I
was said that drifts 011 the main line I
are easily overcome but in railroad!
yards, the clearing of hundreds of
switches and getting" the snow out!
of the way is 110 easy task. It is!
the belief that (he men on duty to-j
day will have an all-day job. Be
lief forces were organized and sent|
out at noon from Altoona, Tyrone,;
Huntingdon, Lcwistown, Mifflin and!
Marysville.
Through passenger trains due herel
between 2 o'clock this morning and j
noon to-day were from five to eight
hours late. Trains No. 20, 30 and
34 were not reported on the Middle
division up to JO o'clock this morn
ing. Local trains made up- in Har
risburg and Altoona were started 1
regardless of any connections. 1
Special attention whs given stock 1
trains. Preference was given this
traffic on the main line where it was
possible to reach a terminal with- '
(£>ut any great delay. Where it was i
rikely that the cattle might suffer en
route for want of water or from
cold, these trains were shortened in
order that time could bo made. ,
Philadelphia Division ! ;
Officials of the Philadelphia divi- j
sion had their hands full. It is at
this point where the heaviest busi
ness is done because of the import
ant connections west, north, east
and south. Pacific Express due here
at 2.55 a. m. arrived about 7.30. The ;
newspaper train was back two hours, i
All early through trains from New ■
York and Washington and Baltimore
where delays interfered with later 1
schedules were annulled and pas- i
sengers handled on later trains.
Freight and yard business was
handled in a similar manner to that! '
on the Middle division. Shopmen j J
assisted the trackmen and construe-1
tion gangs in clearing the snow from
the yards and keeping the switches
open. Relief crews were kept mov- <
ing all day and everything that look- f
od like a locomotive and was able to 1
run was put in service.
In addition to this being a busy f
point for passenger travel, there is t
also considerable express handled s
here. Last night's storm added to 1
tno troubles- of the express com- a
panics. Tons and tons of express \
goods are piled up on the platforms c
at the Pennsylvania railroad station t
waiting for trains to move it. a
Extra men have been on dutv I
since the Christmas rush started, \
but now with increased help the busi- r

Use Sugar Sparingly—Do
Not Waste It
*
* * •
Everyone—manufacturers and householders—
should use sugar sparingly for the present.
The supply is limited and will be until the new crop
of cane can be.harvested and shipped from Cuba and
the Tropics. The supply will then be ample.
In the meantime, the people of the New England
and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly.
Grocers should limit their sales to any one family.
. No one should hoard or waste sugar. Do not pay an
increased retail price.

wrecks tied up traffic. Passenger
trains were from three to five hours

Whole Country in
Grip of Heavy Storm
By Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 14. —Most of the
country was in the grip of storm and
cold weather to-day and under cover
of snow throughout its northern
parts almost from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Rail and wire traffic
were much impeded. The unseason
able cold extends to Gulf States.
Snow was heaviest in the East
from the Groat Bakes to the coast
with a fall of a foot or more in in
terior New York. It was caused by
a disturbance which has been mov
ing eastward and was central this
morning on the south New England
coast. This disturbance showed a
fall of more than an inch by the
barometer in the last twelve hours.
It was preceded by rain or snow
and gales along the Middle Atlantic
and New England coasts, interfering
with shipping. Gales of heavy force!
prevailed along the New England
coast this morning and storm warn
ings were up from Delaware break
water to Eastport, Maine.
Twenty-four Inches of
Snow in Blue Mountains
Reading, Pa., Dec. 14.—When
citizens awoke this morning they
found Reading covered with a *l4-
inch snow. Along the Blue Mountains
it was two feet " ep. During the
forenoon all city and suuurban trolley
traffic was paralyzed, save one short
stretch of line in the city. All rail
road trai. s are late. County roads
are drifted fence high. Hundreds of
workers from the shops were sent
out to clear the Reading railway
tracks. Freight and coal traffic was
almost at a standstill this forenoon.
Bittle milk reached the city i.nd there
were few deliveries. The storjn will
mean a delay in coal deliveries and
the supply of numbers of families
has been exhausted. It was the worst
e | storm in the Schuylkill Valley in
twenty years.

Pottsville, Pa., Dec. 14.—Fourteen
e inches of snow, in places drifted to
I ten or twelve et, covers Schuylkill
3 county to-day, tying up mines, rail
roads, closing roads and industrial
• plants and bringing the rush of lioli
-Bjday business almost to a complete
I I standstill. It was the most severe
• i storm of its kind in a g.vneration. A
- i few of the fast trains managed to
-j plow their way through the snow
i banks and arrived here from four to
*1 six hours late. With satisfac
" tory weather conditions continuing
1 j throughout the day, it is hoped to
J j have tragic normal before night. The
j snow plows and snow sweepers of the
Eastern Pennsylvania Railways Com-
M pany broke under the strain but this
M morning a few of them are again in
' operation. Passengers and crews of
J trolley cars stalled along the country

' I in the cars.
i Street Car Traffic Is
Interrupted by Storm
,J Philadelphia, Dec. 14.—Railroad
• land street car traffic throughout the
| state was badly crippled by the sleet,
j rain and snow of last night's storm,
j followed to-day by freezing tem
peratures. Telegraph and telephone
wires are reported down all along
I the path of the storm, while in the
I! coal regions the snow was so heavy
| that through trains were stalled for
| hours. It was feared here to-day that
.'the coi.l stringency would be aggra-
I vated because hundreds of coal cars
• jare held up by frozen switches.
ii Trolley service In ;he Lehigh Val-
II ley was tied up completely during
: | the storm. In Allentown, Reading
. and Wilkes-Barre, the snow drifted
. | to such depths that many motor cars
tj had to be abandoned by their owners
tj to save their lives. The weather con
.! ditions of the past twenty-four hours
• form a combination most dreaded,
. ] according to electric, steam railways
s i and telegraph officials, but it was ex
l pected that normal service would
t! prevail in a few hours.
Lehigh Coal Field
Feels Tempest's Blasts
By Associated Press
Hazlelon, Pa., Dec. 14.—Snow to
the depth of two feet covered the
ground in the Lehigh coal field to
day following a storm of mid-winter
proportions. Steam and trolley traf
fic was stalled and most of the an
thracite mines were idle resulting in
an estimated loss of 25,000 tons in
the output. Efforts were made to
start the collieries later in the day.
All industries were short handed.
Country roads are drifted as high as
eight and ten feet.
Snow-bound Workmen
Are Held at Bangor
Bethlehem, Pa., Dec. 14.—The worst
blizzard in years last night left the
trolley lines completely tied up this
morning in a foot of snow and man.
cars became stalled anywhere and
everywhere along the system. Be
tween 500 and 600 workmen from
Bangor and other parts of the Slate
i Belt were unable to reach their em
ployment at the Bethlehem Steel
Works because the trolley cars were
unable to get through the badly drift
ed lines. The several thousand em
ployes of the steel company living
> at Allentown and other points up the
behigh Valley were tnayy hours late
in reaching the works by other means
( of travel. Train service on the steam
( roads was also affected by the bliz-
I zard. All local trains were an hour
or so late this morning, and several
I through trains were abandoned.

All New York Traffic
Badly Crippled Today
New York, Dec. 14.—A snowstorm
of blizzard proportions that raged
throughout the night crippled all
traffic in New York to-day. inter
rupted telegraph and telephone serv
ice, brought intense suffering to the
poor and accentuated the serious
shortage of coal. The gale whipped
up a heavy sea. driving small craft
to cover and causing considerable
damage along the waterfront.
Owing to the scarcity of labor, the
regular force of shovelers was re
duced to about 3,000, and in order
to meet the situation 7,000 reserves
were called upon.
With trolley service virtually par

THIRTEEN INCHES OF
SNOW BLANKETS CITY
[Continued from First Page.]
'1 lie temperature during the storm
was about 26 degrees. At 8 o'clock
this morning it had fallen to 10 de
grees. and the expectation i,s that the
temperature will fall as low as 8 or
10 degrees to-night, the told spell
then lasting at least two days. Strong
west winds will prevail after to
night.
Car Service Hindered
Shortly after the beginning of the
storm last night, the fail was so
heavy and the force of the wind so
strong that the streets were cleared
of pedestrians. At the height of the
itorin there was practically no street
car service at all with outside points,
and *tht cars in the city were run
ning 011 their own schedules. Three
svv.'O'.ers and one plow worked all
night to clear the tracks of the street
railway system of the heavy snow.
At a fairly early hour this morning
ear* were running on the main city
lines anl the sweepers were at work
on the minor street lines. The cars
were unable to get through to
Linglestown this morning. Oherlin
could be reached only byway of
Chambers street, Steelton. and cars
sere running irregularly to Ilum
mclslown and Highsplre. There wa<
no "tree! car communication to Mid
dletown, and authorities at 'lie offices
ot the transportation comp .i y sai l
there would be no car run *hrougb
to Rockville until late to-night or
to mi/row.
Schedule Irregulars
Where the street cars were run
ning to the surrounding towns this
morning, they were running on very
irregular schedules, and even in the
city there was no service to warrant
a statement that the cars were run
ning regularly, or as per schedule.
In an effort to clear the lines to
Middletown, three cars were buried
in the snow.
Sweepers worked all morning to
open the tracks to Linglestown,
Roekville, and Middletown. In some
cases the drifts were reported to be
seve nfeet deep. Unable to keep
to their scedules, cars travelled all
over the city and to all the sur
rounding towns in twos and threes,
sometimes, it was reported, hours
apart. In the city, the cars were
run on the main lines on a ten min
utes schedule as near as possible.
C|ty Lines Not Open
Cars in the city were running as
best they could this morning, with
little attention to schedule. The ef
fort to open up the Capital street
line was abandoned at an early hour
this morning. Toward the latter
part of the morning, the street car
transportation had assumed a fair
degree of its usual service.
Mail trains arrived in the city
from four to nineteen hours late.
Postmaster Sites said. Western
trains were especially late, the train
from St. Louis that should have ar
rived at 9.30 yesterday morning not
arriving until 4.45 this morning.
Other trains are correspondingly
late.
Mail Service Hurt
Owing to the difficulty of mak
ing way through the snow, it was
necessary to eliminate some mail
deliveries to-day. To the center of
the town there were three deliv
eries, instead of five, one at 7.30 a.
m„ 12.45 and 3.30. The noon de
livery was not made to the cut
lying portions. Postmaster Sites
said this measure was necessary if
the mails were to be handled at all.
Stre'et Force Busy
The second snowstorm of the year
found the authorities better able to
take care of the street clearing than
before. At an early hour thi? morn
ing a large force was busy on the
streets, and property owners bad
cleared off a large percentage of the
sidewalks before much foot traffic

lliuikN Kirxt
J That the Harrisburg recruiting sta
i tion ranks among the tlrst, if not the
i first. United States Army recruiting i
| station in the country, was again
| demonstrated n Wednesday, when
more men were examined and passed
upon than were enlisted in the entire
state of New York. Although the of
ficial tigure given out by the War
Department &how that this district
only sent away a total of 783 men
on that day, seventy men had been
passed upon and could not be sent to
the training station at Columbus Bar
racks, Ohio, until Thursday. Out of
the total of 1,441 enlistments credited
to Pennsylvania, the Harrisburg dis
trict furnished over half that num
ber.
This is a very high percentage of
enlistments, when compared With the
enlistments in other sections of the
country. New York, with its total
population of eleven millions, only
sent 830 recruits to the training sta
tion. while Pennsylvania, with its
population of only eight millions, had
a total of 1441 enlistments. Illinois
had a total of 80-4 enlistments and
California had 49'!). When one con
siders the population of New York
and then compares that with the pop
ulation of Pennsylvania, the average
of enlistments in the two states
shows that Pennsylvania is greatly
in the lead. According to popula
i tion, New York should have had at
r the least a total of two thousand
recruits on Wednesday, as against
their total of 836.
Wonderful lteeord ,
Pennsylvania has a total population
of close to eight million people. Out
of this number the Harrisburg re
j cruiting district embraces territory
I in which there is a population of
I 1,720,000, and out of which a total of
| 783 recruits were enlisted Wednes
j day. The remaining population of
j six millions, is comprised and repre
■ sented by the other three recruiting
districts in the state, namely Scran
ton, Pittsurgh and Philadelphia.
I These three districts then, represent
j inpr three times the number in popu
lation, only furnished a total of 568
recruits, or an average of 219 per
station.

Food Control Act
Supersedes State
When state food laws conflict with
the federal food control act the na
tional law will supersede the statutes
of the state, but during the war only,
according to an opinion given to-day
to Dairy and Pood Commissioner
James Koust by the Attorney Gen
eral's Department. The opinion was
written by Deputy Attorney General I
Hargest after Attorney General
Brown had conferred with federal i
and state food officials, Including Ad
ministrator Howard Heinz.
The opinion-was given specifically
in (he matter of enforcement of the i
state cold storage law and the state I
law forbidding use of boric acid in i
tlsli. The deputy says in part: "if'
the president or those acting under |
his authority, by virtue of the food |
control act, makes regulations * * * ,
the Pennsylvania statute which con
flicts with such regulations must be
suspendd, but only so far as it di
rectly, or by necessary implication,
conflicts therewith! 1 do not deem it 1
wise to advise any general rule as|
to the suspension of any of our laws.,
I think it better that each case!
should be dealt with as it arises. It;
is, of course, understood, that thai
food control act being a war measure |
will be in force only during the i
period of the war and the regulations
made under it will suspend the laws
of Pennsylvania and your enforce
ment thereof only for such period."
Adjutant General Peary camej
home from Camp Hancock lasti
night.
