14 100,000 MEN OUT OF WORK OWING TO LACK OF COAL Hundreds of Cleveland's Largest Manufactories Are Closed Today By .tssociated Press * Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 15. —One hundred thousand men were out of work and hundreds of Cleveland's largest manufacturing plants were shut down to-day because of the shortage of coal. The companies affected, many of them turning out rush orders of war materials, including shells, shrapnel, motor cars, airplane parts, fuses, uniforms, engines and other war necessities, required by the gov ernment, depend upon the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company tor electric power. Late yesterday the coal shortage reached such an acute stage that the illuminating company shut off electric current to all big industrial manufacturing plants. The idle manufacturing plants will resume operation Monday morning provided coal now being rushed to the illuminating company's plants is not delayed. CHRISTIANITY IS FREELY ACCEPTED [Continued from First Page.] count of this journey and on Mon day the Harrisburg Rotary Club is to have the benefit of Dr. Bagnell's experience, along with excerpts from his lecture entitled, "The House Di vided Against Itself," which proves, after the reasoning of Abraham Lincoln, that autocracy and demo cracy cannot exist in this universe. Amazing Progress "That the Y. M. C. A. should have succeeded in calling out untrained men and in a few months have or ganized the greatest moral institu tion ever built up in so short a time, is what amazes you in studying these camps," relates the Rev. Dr. Bag nell to-day. "There is no organiza tion among the men. Everybody, of whatever religion or creed is free to come in these fine roomy huts as they call tlieup. As a rule there is the big meeting room with a platform at the front and at the rear a coun ter for the sale of stamps, station ery, etc. A smaller cosier room has an open lire, writing tables and a homelike atmosphere that fairly draws a soldier inside. All Denominations "One of the most interesting camps I visited was I'pton at Yap liank. Long Island. Many of these men, it would appear, had become so careless of all religious duties that it was feared they would not respond to the services, but it is not so. 1 lound the huts, nine of them, crowd ed every night. On Sunday morning it is the custom now for the men to be on the jump and waiting for service to begin. This service is in charge of an Army chaplain who has plenty of assistance from the various secretaries. There are no denominational discriminations and some times the service has a semi secular suggestion in the band con certs. But men listen to the speakers closely and seem very glad to have the -benefit of religious atmosphere. No camp is on a higher plane than Camp Upton, and part of this credit is due to Major General Bell. Dr. Ellenberger, who was there for six weeks, as president of the tubercu losis board, has also helped greatly. I may say here that the Knights of Columbus workers co-operate heart ■ ily with the Y. M. C. A. and when I they are supplied with their full R . orps of trained workers they will I do much good. "Camp Dix, at Wrightstown, is a vast contrast with the other, being made up mostly of the highest grade youngmen from Western New York. Camp Lee, again is another contrast. Fortv thousand drafted men are there from Western Pennsylvania ind the Virginias. Here one sees hundreds of foreigners and the en thusiasm of the Italians Is particu larly* noticeable. They lairly hunger to get over there and revenge the injuries to their country done by the linns." Dr. Bagnell could not speak too hlghlv of the splendid system oper ated bv the Y. M. C. A. Each big ••amp has a headquarters secretary and he has assistants for every fea iure of the work. Then each hut lias its head secretary, with an assistant io look after special work such as he religious, social, educational. Services in the huts are similar to those at home, hymns, responsive •eading, prayers, doxology. In the nuts set. aside for colored troops the singing was something inspiring, ?aid Dr. Bagnell.

According to one of the com missioners it will be for the pur pose of deciding just what action will be taken on Tuesday. Residents of the city who have endured for years the annual repe tition of no regular collections, yards piled high with receptacles filled with ashes and refuse and similar nuisances are wondering how many more conferences and how much more delay there will be before defi nite plans are made for this import ant work which heretofore never has been done under municipal su pervision. it is understood at the council session on Tuesday the contract for garbage collection and disposal will probably be awarded and an esti mate submitted for municipal nsh collections and the cost of equip ment. The whole collection cost will probably be about SIOO,OOO for next year, but so far the commis sioners have shown no active inter est in going ahead with necessary arrangements for organization of the ash and garbage bureau or in get ting anything definite in shape tor action. Repeated promises, confer, ences, even a survey and report on what should be done which was in the hands of council months ago failed to bring any action and now with the present contract ending in about six weeks all this work must be done. More complaints are beinT made about "tipping" 4 the ash collectors. Yesterday it was said that one gang in an uptown district stopped at two or three places on one side of a street, even going into one cellar to get the receptacles. RUSSIA OUT OF WAR, UP TO U. S.

"It would be folly," he added, "to underrate the danger, equal folly to exaggerate it, and tHo greatest folly of all not to face it. "If the Russian democracy has de cided to abandon the struggle against military autocracy, the American de mocracy is taking it up." Germany's victories are emblazon ed to the world, the premier said, but her troubles do not appear in bulletins. Something is known of them, however. The deadly grip of the British navy is having its effect, and the valor of the troops is mak ing an impression which will tell In the end. He said those who during the last fortnight were organizing a nervous breakdown in the nation are the same as those who re cently were organizing a hysterical shout over the Flanders victories. Mr. Lloyd George said he was glad to understand that Lord Lansdowne's recent letter had been misunderstood and that Lord Lansdowne is in agree ment with President Wilson. "I also," the premier declared. "agree with President Wilson, and do not desire to force a controversy where none exists. "I warn the nation to watch the man who thinks there is halfway house between victory and defeat," the premier admonished. "There are the men who think you can end the war now by some sort of what they call peace—by setting up a league of nations. That is the right policy after victory: without victory it would be farce." Two Penna. Men Saved From Torpedoed Steamer B.v Associated Press Washington.

In refusing the license | the Chester county judge said it had i been a long established policy of the court "to confine liquor licenses in Coatesville to the more centrally lo- I cated houses, which are constantly i under the observation of many citi zens and of the authorities, and at j the same time are sufficiently con venient to all patrons living and vis i iting in and about Coatesville." In commenting on tli case. Judge i Trexler said: "No person has a right to deman a license to sell liquors.

BY PURCHASING BRIGHT STAMPS The vast nationwide war savings campaign invaded Harrisburg today, heralded by concise reading matter which tells in few words what this movement means and how it can be organized in every part of the coun try. From now on tne letters "W. S. S." will be very familiar to the American citizen, for the Govern ment is behind this great money raising project with all its energies. Simplicity of organizing is perhaps the tirst thing that one discovert, about this method for universal saving. Ten or more persons may form a War Saving Society, meeting in factory, school, church, clubhouse, the home of any member or at any convenient place. School children may hold a meeting in their class rooms at such times as will not inter fere with their work. First shoutd be understood the purpose of the War Savings Society which are: The Purpose 1. To awaken a realization among the men. women and children of the entire nation that in their honds lies the key to the succesful prosecution of the war; that they can render the most far-reaching patriotic service through refraining from the purchase of all unneces sary articles, confining themselves to the use of such things as are neces sary for health and efficiency, ar.d thus releasing labor and materials for the support of our armies in the field; that there is not enough labor in the United States to produce the great variety of articles needed to support our soldiers and at the same time to provide all t/ie comforts and luxuries we enjoyed when there was 110 war. 2. To lay the foundation of thrift and economy throughout the United States and to bring home to the peo ple the fact that Intelligent and con sistent saving is not a dry problem in economics but is the most vital, practical step towards personal suc cess. 3. To obtain for the uses of the Government a large amount of money through the sale of War savings Stamps, and at the same time to furnish a method by which the small investor may put his sav ings at the immediate service of his country. Members of War-Saving Societies pledge themselves to sup port the Government by refraining from unnecessary expenditures, by systematic saving, and by obtaining new members. . How to Proceed War Savings Stamps and l\ S. Thrift Stamps will very shortly be ready for distribution at post otilces, banks, trust companies and agen cies will be opened at manufacturing TWO MORE AGREE I TO SETTLE SUITS Hardscrabblc Owners Accept Offers Made by Realty *! Experts Two more property owners in the Hardscrabble district who appealed from the award of viewers, to-day agreed to settle their claims against the city on the new schedule as pre pared by three realty experts earlier in the week and verdicts were taken before the court adjourned. So fad three owners holding six properties have settled and it is re- | ported that during court next week . more settlements may be made. The j property owners to-day who agreed to accept the acounts as submitted >> representativ of the city were Fred W. Dinge.. owner of 122 4 North Front streii, who was award ed $2,650. and Mary E. Flowers, holding 1316 North Front street, ac cepting $1,680. In both cases special > verdicts were given for additional ] amounts to be paid in case it is decided the city must pay for im provements since 1871. This question is reserved for decision as a special point of law. The suit of Arlanda P. Dintaman against the city has been continued until Monday. The plaintiff closed this morning and the city will start its defense on Monday. During the] examination to-day the question of! 'tow much Mr. Dintaman paid for, the premises he holds was borouglit [ out and counsel asked for a continu ance of the case on this ground. The court finally overruled the motion; and said the jury would be instruct ed not to consider this evidence. All j other jurors were excused until Thursday when the other cases will be heard. Most of these are suits brought by owners of smaller prop erties the viewers' awards ranging from $1,300 to $6,000.

Denny O'Neil announced to-day that he had made arrangements with Henry Pennywit, superintendent of tre Pittsburgh office of the United States Government Weather Bureau, for the establishment of stations at intervals along the Lincoln High way, to be in charge of the road de partment. Every morning reports will be telegraphed into the weather or not it is drifting. These reports will then be collected at the Pitts burgh office and a report telegraphed to the office of the State Highway Department at Harrisburg. The in formation will also be furnished to llie Pittsburgh Traffic Commission and to the newspapers. The Weather Bureau has nlso agreed to Issue forecasts of antici pated heavy snowfalls in the moun tains of Western Pennsylvania, so that the State Highway Department can be prepared to keep the roaus open. Iteport sreceived from the various counties along the Lincoln Highway state that the above road is open with the exception of a few points where the snow had drifted badly. It is expected, however, to have all of the drifts open and the road pass able late to-day. State Asks County to Assist in Improvements The County Commissioners were asked In a communication from State Highway Commissioner J. D.. O'Neil whether they will join with the state in improvements on thq main state highways next year. Similar commu nications have been sent to other counties, and to a number of boroughs as part of the preparation for 1918 road work. So far the County Com missioners have not made definite plans for next year's improvements, but will probably announce them goon. NEW HUPMOBILE ARRIVES IN CITY Series IV Shows Lines Greatly Improving Appearance Over Former Models H. J. Church, manager of the Ilupmobile Sales Corporation in this city, announces having received the lew Series "R" Hupmobile. This new model Is the result of nearly two years' labor on the part of the Hupp motor car corporation. This time includes building, testing and re building, experimenting in our labor atories and testing on the road under all possible conditions. Further than that, it might be said that the new model is the fruit of nine years' ef fort. In it the manufacturers have tried to embody all the good ideas they have learned in these years. Known as "the comfort car," it is the most beautiful Hupniobile ever built. It is low hung. Its clean lines are without a break. The slightly sloped straight line from the back of rear seat to top of radiator together with the sloping windshield suggest speed. The finish on the hood, fenders and running gear is hard baked enamel black as jet. The body is special Hupmobile blue with a high and lasting luster. The upholstery is genuine leather in French plaits fastened on all edges with leather covered moulding. The body is lined throughout; no paint ed surface is exposed for scratching and marring. The driving compartment has a clean cut appearance with no un sightly housings projecting. The tonneau is handsomely carpeted and has nickeled robe and foot rails. The top is Neverleek, black outside and tan within. This company believes tile cylin der question in its mechanical as- has ceased to interest intelligent buyers as far as the performance of motor cars goes. The actual per foi mance by comparison with any cylinder type is considered the best test by the Hupmobile organization. On the question of simplicity, the Hupmobile enginers say that there is no doubt that the well-built four has the advantage over all other types of motors. This, in their opin ior, permits greater quality to be put in a few parts than is possible where niulticylinder motors makes for greater expense on account of more parts and more operations. There fore this company has consistently adhered to the four-cylinder type of motor. A telegram just received by Mr. Church, as follows, sets forth the company's production possibilities, showing that the government has ample production capacity for mu nitions, without curtailing the pro duction of automobiles to any great extent: "Manufacturing facilities of coun try will give priority to war needs. We must win the war. Government has placed no embargo on automo bile production. There is no nones sential list. Have offered proportion of our productive capacity. Govern ment cannot use it now. Are pre pared to give assistance when need ed. Shall produce all Hupmobiles possible. Freight car scarcity, coal situation, materials will probably curtail our maximum schedule. We knew gross production of industry will be somewhat cut. Demand stronger than ever. This means sure sale for every car built. We expect to take care of your demand if it doesn't increase too greatly. No problem to sell cars we can build. Great problem to supply your de mand. Our industry in strongest po sition eve! held. Hupmobile factor ies bending every effort to supply requirements of dealers' market. J. Walter Drake, president."

Device Makes It Easier to Learn Car Driving *— ■ - Several months of successful operation of a double steering wheel car by Bishop, McCormick and Bishop, of Brooklyn, liave supplied the com forting assurance that a day is coming when embryo motorists will learn the art of driving with much greater safety to themselves, to other motor ists, and to the general public. The double steering wheel device permits the instructor to retain con trol over the car at all times, even though the pupil is doing the actual driving and gear shifting. This arrangement enables the pupil to try his hand almost immediately on traffic-ridden streets, with the result that he is far better equipped to drive alone after one or two lessons than the average "raw motorist" is after three or four. The instruction car is not only Equipped with two steering wheels, but with two sets of brake and clutch pedals. Automobile Topics says, "Because of this arrangement both instructor and learner feel a confidence that cannot exist when there is a single control in unskilled hands. The nervous strain that is eliminated can best be appreciated by those who have been through the experience." The Brooklyn firm precedes this instruction by a "series of lessons in an "anchored car," which is set on a platform in such a way as to leave the wheels free, in front'of the car is a semaphore with which the instructor flashes signals to the driver. "Sharp turn." "Steep hill," etc., direct the pupil to manipulate his controls accordingly, while a special brake lever enables the instructor to produce practically the same conditions as would result on the road. Both the dual control and the anchored car were ori ginated by Bishop. McCormick and Bishop, and patents are applied for on each. Bishop, McCormick and Bishop are the Dodge Brothers dealers in Brooklyn.

PEERLESS The Eighty Horse Power Eight This car with two separate power ranges is distinctly a car of "dual personality." We call one the "loafing'' range and the other the "sporting" range of power. The "loafing" range will serve your social requirements. With the utmost grace and distinction it performs according to all you would expect of a car of real class in ordinary about-town driving. Yet you are at all times in command of Eighty Horse Power, using all you need but paying for only what you use. But when there is a long, steep climb, or you have occasion for a speed brush on the open road with a contender of real class, you have but to call upon your "sporting" range of power and take your climb or race with full confidence in a favorable outcome. Let us demonstrate its possibilities. Touring $2,340 Sedan-Coupe $2,850 Roadster 2,340 Chassis (irf the lead) Sedan 2,990 Limousine 3,690 The prices include the complete standard equipment.

Cameron St. DECEMBER 15. 1017 Cadillac Figures Show Enclosed Car Increase | The fact that enclosed motorcars i are coming more and more into favor for year-round use lias been making ; itself felt for some time. Hut it has never, perhaps, been Illustrated with ! greater emphasis than by data recent i ly gathered by the Cadillac Motor Car I Company. I For its own information, the Cadil t lac Company asked a number of its | leading distributors to set down the i proportion of their buyers who pre ferred enclosed cars to the open road ster and touring types. I The statistics so far at hand show ; that out of a representative list of | new Cadillac owners who have also I owned previous Cadillac elght-cyltfi- I der models, S" per cent, came this sea ! son from open to enclosed cars. This. | of course, does not take into account ! the normal increase in both the open ' and the enclosed car lines. It does not j reflect the undoubted trend toward the i latter, however. j It appears, also, that the large ma j .iority of the enclosed cars have gone i to owners who maintain but one car; j showing that the enclosed vehicle is | intended for use in summer as well as j in winter. Another indication of this tendency lis the fact that 10 per cent, of the total Cadillac production of the pres i ent model has been enclosed cars; and 'that the number of these which have ; been shipped is greater now than at | the corresponding time last year. jPostmasters Big Help in Recruiting Campaign Recruiting officers said to-day that postmasters of the Harrisburg dis trict have made an enviable record in recruiting men for service in the United States Army. Every postmast er in the country is a regular re cruiting officer, with power to re cruit men into the service of the na tion for military duty. A record is kept of the number of men recruit ed this way, and statistics as to how the districts stand are sent over the country. Recruiting officers said this morning that the postmasters at one time in this district were fifth anil then rose to second, and now it is thought that the latest reports will show them to stand first on the list, ltwas estimated that they have prob ably sent "iOO men i nthe recent drive for 5,000 recruits.

Automobile Important Factor in Winning War "Have you considered what a big part the automobile is playing In the winning of the war?." says John N. Willys, president of The Willys- Overland Company. "Everybody knows, 'you tell me," that the railroads are the very back bone of our war preparation. "I wonder how many realize that the automobile is as much a part of our vast transportation system as the trains and tracks themselves? "Did you ever stop to think what happens to men and material after the railroad delivers them to the station? Do you realize that tre mendous gain in speed we have achieved in moving men and ma terials by means of the automobile? "Limited only by roads, the motor car goes anywhere, relieving conges tion, moving hundreds of thousands of people and millions of tons of ina | terials rapidly to where they are needed in a hurry. "No community is too small or too .distant to feel its quickening influ ence. "One very prominent contractor told me that without automobile transportation, the building of the cantonments for our huge new Army would have been delayed at least six months. "We are told in graphic detail how the automobile made possible the suc cess of thfr battle of the Marne. "A few weeks ago tens of thou sands of automobiles were hurrying through the country enlisting sub scriptions among the farmers for the Second Liberty I^oan. "A few weeks before that, more thousands of automobiles were en listed in the campaign to raise JIOO,- 000.OflO for Red Cross, "The automobile again was called into service to help raise $40,000,000 for the Y. M. C. A. Camp Recreation Fund. "Ne less important in the work of winning the war is the automobile in its everyday use amoni; farmers. Of the million automobiles, probably one-half are driven by farmers. With his speedy, convenient car, the farmer runs his errands to town, takes in produce, brings back supplies day after day, adding: hours to the work ins: part of every day. "Of equal value is the intricate use of the automobile made by the Ameri can businessman. If you walk down the streets rf any town or city, you'll find the curb lined with automo biles. Every car there represents some one on an errand, and every car there means an hour > r two added to its owner's useful day. "Probably ho factor in all of our business maehiner" is more vital to our success than the automobile. The 4.000,000 automobiles in this country are traveling millions of miles every day. and every mile they travel is saving time and energy and money. "In this war, as never before, we are brought to a realization of the overwhelming importance of this r ewer arm of our transportation sys tem."
