et forth in regulations imposed by
the Austro-Oermans upon the people
of the conquered portions of Italy,
according to the text of a Teutonic
proclamation now in the hands of
Reuter's, Ltd., and made ,c here
to-day. Failure to comply with the
regulations, the proclamation states.
Kill call for severe punishment, in
cluding the imprisonment of me" and
(vomen and the beating of children.
The proclamation reads in part:
A house-to-house search will be
biade for all concealed arms, weapons
and ammunition. All victuals re
maining in a house must be delivered
Up. Every citizen must obey our la
tor regulations; all workmen and
children over fifteen years of age

Sundays included, from 4 o'clock in'
Hie morning until 8 o'clock in the
fcvening.
"Disobedience will be punished in
the following manner: work
men will be accompanied In the \vork
ami watched by Germans. After the
harvest they will be imprisoned for
Six months and every third day be
given nothing but and water.
Lazy women will be obliged to
ta'ork and after the harvest will re
ceive six months' Imprisonment. Lazy
children will be punished by beating.
The commandant reserves the right
|o punish lazy workmen with twenty
lashes daily."
CHILDREN NEED FOOD-NOT ALCOHOL
How careless it is to accept alcoholic medicine for
children when you know that their whole health and
growth depends upon correct nourishment
If your children are pale, listless or puny, they abso
lutely need the special, concentrated food that only
gives, to improve their nutrition and repair waste caused
by youthful activity. During school term all children
should be given ScoWs Emulsion to benefit Ja
their blood, sharpen their appetite and rebuild
their strength by 6heer force of its great nourishing power. Ml/

NO RELIEF FROM
COAL SHORTAGE
[Continued from First Page.]
pany, may agree to order six "light
less nights" a week.
Mr. Hickolc this morning made
an effort to reach State Fuel Ad
ministrator Potter by telephone. Mr.
Hickok said that the state admin
istrator probably had to get in touch
with the national administrator to
secure the necessary permission for
Mr. Hickok to take over the four
teen cars of anthracite on a siding
near Highspire. Mr. Hickok said
this morning that he Is practically
certain of receiving the desired per
mission. The fourteen cars would
alleviate condition's in the city im
mensely, Mr. Hickok said. Without
it the dealers will be in a serious
situation the rest of the week. Zero
weather is predicted by the end of
the week.
The fuel shortage now is acute'.
Dealers receive a car of the an
thracite from time to time, and sell
it In an hour's time. Cme dealer
who said lie received a car of coal
to-day, said it is the first he has
had since Saturday. It has been
ordered for sixty days he said, was
fourteen days on the road, and was
sold in an hour. It will be delivered
before the day is over, the dealer
said. Mr. Hickok told the reporter
this morning that he did not think
thin report is exaggerated.
The Retail Coal Dealers this morn
ing made a report that covers the
situation among the dealer*. Ac
cording to this report,* the shortage
is serious. The report shows Mock
and Hartman, W. 8. Strob, G. F.
MUlelsen, J. B. Montgomery, J. K.
Dare, city coal dealers, are without
a supply of coal. The United Ice
and Coal Company are without any
coal In its yard in Fifteenth street,
and with very little at its main
plant in Forster and Cowden reets.
The J. H. Landis Company is re
ported without coal, and the small
supply of McCreath Brothers is said
to be F. J. Wallls is said
to have a supply in his yard, which
is probably sold. This last dealer
received four care of coal on Mon
day, and is able to haul away a car
a day for delivery.
The conference with the Mayor
this afternoon is expected to bring
results. Mr. Ilickok said that he
will attempt to enlist the aid of the
motorcycle police to investigate over
stocked cellars, and the conditions of
the yards of the coal dealers. The
fuel administrator wants the Mayor
to repeat his former efforts to find
out just where coal is needed worst.
At that time the Mayor had the po
lice eecure a list of unfilled coal
orders. The fuel dictator wants an
investigation of needy cases made,
and thinks that the police can han
dle cases of absolute suffering. The
police have so far in the situation
been able to secure coal for needy
families where they delivered It
themselves.
Pooling Resources
There has been talk of pooling the
resources of the dealers, to facili
tate coal deliveries, and insure a
proper distribution of the supply. At
the meeting between the Mayor and
coal dictator this afternoon, the ad
visability of the city guarding the
operation of the coal industry in
this city, and securing and delivering
the coal, will be discussed. The fuel
man said that the city has the power
to do this.
Industries Need Fuel
There will be no classification of
Industries in Harrisburg, Mr. Hic
kik said. Owing to the fact that
naurly all the large Industries here
are working on government con
tracts, they are all vitally in need
of coal, and no measures for their
classification will be taken, the fuel
administrator said.
The fuel administrator said that
he will get in touch with the Har
ritfcurg Light and Power Company
to-day. If there is a coal shortage
at that plant, or If their supply of
bituminous coal ordered to take the
place of their depleted river road
does not arrive in town, all outside
lights in Harrisburg, except street
lights, will be ordered extinguished
every night but Saturday.
The coal for the power plant of
j tho Harrisburg Light and Pow
er Company has not yet arrived. Mr,
Kaltwasser said. Enough river coal
i is left to tide them over tho first
| part of next week, when the order of
! bituminous coal is expected to ar
! rive. The local power plant fur-
I nlslies all the power for the Penn
! sylvania railroad, the Pipe and Pipe
• Bending Works and tho Central Iron
| and Steel Company.
Wood Is Needed
| Mr. Hickok reported this morning
i that within a few days he hopes to
I announce that a supply of 2,000
' cords of wood will arrive In the city
from RockviUe. A farmer there
has told the fuel administrator that
he has the supply of wood for shii
.njent to. the .city. The fuel adminis
-1 trator is making arrangements to
: have the wood hauled in wagons di
-1 j rect to the#consumers, as the rail-
I road companies are in no position
to take care of it.
Mr. Hickok has emphasized the
: ! fact that there must be no window
1 lights burning in places of business
• Thursday or Sunday nights, when no
business is being conducted inside
the buildings. The names of viola
l tors of the national lightless night
edict will be punished, it was said.
THRIFT STAMPS
IN HANDS OF ALL
[Continued from First Page.]
"over there" will be having the ben
fit of their support of the govern
ment. ' .. . .
"Tliis is the finest thing that has
come along in the way of an invest
ment and its so fine that the gov
ernment won't let anyone buy njore
than a thousand dollars worth. That
ought to tell the story," said Wil
liam M. Donaldson, who was named
by the national committee in charge
as the man to have charge of the
campaign in this county and who
launched the work at a dinner given
to the committee in charge In the
Harrisburg Club last night.
Buy Anywhere
"You can step up to the counter
at the post office, at any of the
banks and at many of the stores and
buy a quarter stamp any time you
want and when you have your card
full of quarter stamps you can turn
them In and get one of the big
stamps that represent five dollars by
paying the twelve or thirteen cents
additional. And then at the end of
five years for $4.12 saved you have
five dollars. Remember the old Dime
Savings Fund, how we used to put
by the dimes and quarters. Well,
this is something biggen. and you'll
not only be saving, but you'll be
backing lip the boys from home,"
was the way Postmaster Frank C.
Sites, the man in charge of the
stamps, put it.
Everyone to Line tip
The dinner was attended by a
committee representing many lines
of activity and it was decided to
bring these salient facts to the at
tention of all the folks:
With each quarter saved buy a
Thrift Stamp.
Sixteen Thrift Stamps (costing
$4.00), plus 12 cents, now buy a
War Savings Stamp.
The United States government will
pay you $5.00 for each War Savings
Stamp, January 1, 1923.
Twenty War Savings Stamps make
one full War Savings Certificate, for
which the government will pay you
sl*>o January 1, 1923.
You can get back your money,
with a little less than three per cent.
Interest, at any timft by giving ten
days' notice at any post office.
Because War Savings Stamps ac
cumulate interest, the cost and their
redemption value' increase one cent
each month after January 31, 1918.
These stamps are now purchas
able at the Central Post Office and
its twenty-two agencies in this city,
at all the post offices of the county
and from every city and rural mall
carrierj while plans are In formula
tion to establish selling agencies In
factories and schools.
Pupils to Help
Dr. F. E. Downes, city school su
perintendent; Prof. F. B. Sham
baugh, county school superintend
ent; Principals H. G. Dibble and C.
B. Fager, Jr., of the High schools,
and Headmaster Arthur E. Brown,
of the Harrisburg Academy, offered
their help and Dr. Downes surprised
everyone by saying that there are
6,000 pupils in the Harrisburg
schools savings fund.
"And they have $9,000 in bank,"
spoke up John C. Hotter, who looks
after the cash.
"These pupils can be taught to
save to buy the stamps and encour
aged to buy when they have
enough," said Dr. Downes. "It is a
line idea and I think the army of
pupils will enlist for Uncle Sam.
David E. Tracy, John A. Affleck
and George S. Reinoehl gave sup
port of the idea and outlined some
plans for reaching people in indus
trial establishments, while W. H.
Bennethum, J. William Bovyman,
David Kaufman, William Strouse
and other merchants said that they
would not only put up the money
to buy stamps to sell to customers,
but devote advertising space to ex
plaining th idea.
William Jennings and Donald Mc-
Cormick favored bringing to atten
tion of people how a definite plan
to buy so many stamps a week would
rally the whole county to support of
the plan and make every one a bond
holder without feeling it.
The result of the meeting was that
the letter carriers, who are now the
chief salesmen, will have the support
of newspapers, churches, business
establishments, posters, meetings
and organized committees in getting
every one to buy so many stamps a
day, a week, a month.
At the dinner were John A. Af
fleck, Arthur Bacon, W. S. Baldwin,
W. H. Bennethum, J. William Bow
man, Arthur E. Brown, John T.
