MESSENGER GETS
COMPENSATION
Interesting Decision Is Given
Today by State Board; Dr.
Dixon in Hospital Again
a messenger after
when the ayvard to
against the West
ern Union Telegraph Company was
affirmed. It was found that the
claimant was interested in a printing
business, but that he worked as a
messenger at night, that ho was hurt
while acting as a messenger and that
rn-hile he is a printer he is unable be
cause of disability suffered in the ac
cident to work at his trade but a
very short time each day and that he
i.-) totally Tncapable of acting as a |
messenger. He received $7 a week
as messenger.
The board reversed the referee in
Daubert vs. Fritz, Reading, on the
ground that the evidence was hear
say; and Trout vs. Pennsylvania Rail
road, Huntingdon, on the ground of l
an error in dependency.
Appeals were dismissed on the I
ground that heat prostration or light- j
ning stroke when sustained in the i
course of employment are proper j
causes for compensation in Salmon I
vs. Schmidt and Sons Brewing Com- !
pany, Philadelphia: Lawton vs. Haws,'
Philodalphia, and Touhey vs. Public ]
Ledger Company, Philadelphia, de- 1
pendency being established in the
latter case. *■
The board dismissed the appeal of |
Henscn vs. Armstrong and Latta, !

ant was not the lawful widow of de- i

STEELTON AND
AMERICA LEADS
SAYS GRSKOVIC
Noted Speaker, in Address,
Asks Croatians to Be Loyal
to This Country
"This war was begun by an autoc
racy such as the world has never
known, and It is up to us, both you
and I, that it may become powerless
and never again dare to lay hands
on a peace-loving nation. The world
is inflamed in a great struggle that
out of the blood which is now being
shed a new world may come." de
clared Don Niko Grskovlc, president
of the Croatan League and noted
speaker, in an address at an enter
tainment by the Croatian Sokol in
Croatian Hall Saturday night.
' Shall we drop at these times or
shall we assist with all our power
tile struggle for democracy which is
being led by the Stars and Stripes?"
he continued.
He cited in detail the conditions in
Coata and in the Slovene lands under
the tyrannous rule of the Hapsburg
Monarchy and urged those present to
use theii*efforts in unitinA the south
ern Slavs (Croatians, Serts and Slo
venians) into a country of their own
to take their place as the free among
the free.
He urged those present ,to form a
local branch of the Croatian League,
which should only accept for mem
bership Croatians who are known to
be loyal to tills country. An officer
of the Sokol stated this morning that
steps will he taken immediately to af
ftet an organzation and an announce
ment will be made very shortly.
The entertainment was for the ben
efit of the Croatian war sufferers and
was attended by 300 persons.
Aside from beinf; head of the Cro
atian League, the speaker is a mem
ber of the Southern Slav Committee
of London and publisher of the
Southern Slav World at New York.
The desire of all the southern Slavs
in Kurope to be united and liberated
ha sexisted from the most ancient
times. In the seventeenth century
this idea became closely connected
with tlier culture and political pro
grams. Napoleon 1 attempted to ac
complish it when he founded the
kingdom of Illyria out of the south
ern lands of Austria. It was renewed
in the movements for the national
restoration, from the napoleonic times
until the revolution of 18 IS; was
again taken up as a basis of the na
tional' culture and political programs
of the Prince-Bshop of Montenegro
Nyegush, the Serbian ruling Prince
Michael and the Croatian Bishop
Stross mayer; it was persecuted and
Mirottled dilring all that time by the
Austrians ami Hungarians, but it re
vived again when King Peter ascend
ed the Serbian throve, and with great
enthusiasm aroused the people after
the Balkan wars of 1812.
Because this idea, as a reaction
aganst the terrble pressure of Aus
tria-Hungary, was gaining more and
more strength among the Austrian
Southern Slaves, who in Serbia saw
an example of liberty <ind democracy,
Austria, in order to annihilate, that
example and prevent a revolution at
home, provoked the conflict with Ser
bia and thereby caused this world's
conflaration, in which she drove more
than 800,000 Southern Slavs to fight
against their own liberators. In that
war she not only devastated Serbia
but also tried to systematically ex
terminate her own South Slavic sub
jects, expelling from Bosnia-Herzego
vina over 100,000 families, looting the
property of tens of thousands of per
sons, executing by hanging and shoot
ing over 20,000 of her own South
Slavic subjects, dismissing all com
munal authorities in Dalmatia, all so
cieties in all South Slavic lands, de
stroying all the national monuments,
names, books, customs and imprison
ing everything that was free and
everybody who could have led the
people.
However, a number of prominent
and fearless leaders of their people
.found themselves in the beginning ot
the war in other countres of ffee
Kurope. They succeeded in getting to
gether and " unfolded a program of
liberation and unification, forming the
South Slavic Central Committee in
London. This national program was
at the same time adopted by the Ser
bian government and by the Serbian
dynasty and parliament. Thousands
of Austrian Southern Slavs deserted
to fie Serbian side and joined the
Serblr.n army, and more than 200,000
surrendered to the Russians. Half ot
these are now organized as a volun
teed army covered itself with glory
and fought with splendid heroism at
Costanza in Oobrutcha. Many South
el n Slavs from both Americas and
other parts of the world are volun
teers in this war for liberty, and all
our emigrant colonies are sending
large sums of money to support the
war sufferers and the political action
of the South Slavic Committee in
London.

STEELTON BOYS
■ CONDITIONS "OVER THERE'
Carl Shelley in Message to Friends Here Tells of Ger
man Atrocities; Appeals to Them to Buy Liberty
I'onds and Subscribe to Red Cross; John Masters
Writes Interesting Letter.
Two interesting letters have been
received from Steelton boys who are
fighting against the Hun, "Some
where in France." John Masters,
son of Night Sergeant Masters of
the borough police force and Carl
Shelley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kirk
Shelley are the boys who tell of the
conditions "over there." In his let
ter Carl Shelley tolls of the German
atrocities told by French women who
came into their hands when a sec
tion of French ground was retaken
from the Boche.
Jh his leter John Masters says:
I just got back from the trenches
a while ago that's why you .did not
hear from me. Things are slow
around hetv and the weather is very
cold.
Plenty of Clothing
'I just got the two boxes and
was very glad to receive them, for
tobacco is very hard to get 'over
here.' I am in good shape, three
pairs of shoes; one pair of gum
boots; one overcoat; two suits of
olive drab; about twelve pairs of
stockings; three shirts; three suits of
underclothes; three pairs of gloves;
and three blankets, so you can sec I
do not care how cold it gets. In ad
dition to this I have two sweaters.
1 am still in the kitchen and am
rated as a cook."
In Important Drive
A letter received from Carl SlicUey
several days ago is as follows: "We
have been jn active service now for
about two months and a half. Part
of the time we were near the front
line trenches, where we helped' the
British in their attack on Cambrai,
We know for a positive fact that our
ambulance unit was the first Am
erican soldiers to get into action, by
that I mean that we were the first
American enlisted men to dodge Ger
man shell fire and believe me that is
some job.
People Should See Conditions
"Believe me if the people in the
T . S. A. could see the sights that we
have, there would be very little
trouble in selling the Liberty Bonds
and collecting for the Red Cross. The
best advertisement for that purpose
would be some pictures of French
refugees from the parts of France
that have recently been retaken. To
see them makes one feel badly, but
to hear their stories of torture and
Confer With City Officials '
on Garbage Disposal Plan
M. B. Bitch, borough chemist, and
William Callaglian, borough engineer
representing Steelton, this afternoon
met in conference with Dr'. Raunick,
of Harrisburg, to discuss the plan of
garbage disposal, according to a
councilman. The purpose of the con
ference the borough official said, was
to ii.quire into the plan that Harris
burg has adopted. Steelton has been
compelled to work out a plan to dis
pose of its refuse being unable to get!
any difmping grounds. It is likely,
the councilman said, that some def'i-|
nite action will be taken at the meet-!
ing of council next week when the i
report of the committee is made. I

Tells of German Cruelty
"The other day we saw several
thousand. Some had no clothing,
except blankets and w6re carrying
babies to German fathers. One wo
man about thirty told me her story.
When tiie Germans came through
in 1914 she was compelled to live
with a German soldier while her
husband became the German's
lackey. She eventually had two chil
dren to the German. This is only
one of the many such instances. If
the people of Steelton knew and saw
as we are they would give their last
nickel and then thank God' that the
war is in Europe instead of at home.
"My hope is that the war will not
end until the Hun has been wiped
off the map."

' John McFadden. a well-known miner
I who lived at 11 Wyoming St., Wilkes-
Barre, Pa.
"I had no appetite and what littio
I did eat never agreed with me, but
; would lie heavy and sour on my
i' stomach causing mo much distress.
"Often I would vomit in the morn
j ing. I was restless all night lons,
j nervous, constipated and was losing
I weight fast.
"I had tried a lot of medicines
j without getting any good out of
| them and when Tanlac was recom
l mended to me I decided to give it
I a trial.
"It certainly did tpe a lot of good
! right from the start and I have kept
1 right on getting better until by now
! I can eat a good big meal and enjoy
it. I sleep fine and feel a lot better
all over."

tonic, is now being introduced hero

Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.
