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.

COUNCIL TO TALK
OVER COLLECTION
PROBLEMS AGAIN
Commmissioners to Hold An
other Conference For
General Discussion
Another conference on the ash
and garbage collection problem is
talked of in city couneilmanic circles
and will probably be held on Mon
day. 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.

"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."

WAR SAVING
TO BE FORMED TO AID U. S. 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.

Weather Reports For
State's Highways
State Highway Commissioner J.
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.

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."
