BEAUTER j Stories are told throughout the , country of all sorts and conditions | of people knitting for the Red Cross, little tots, the aged and even the I blind, but the first tale of a one ■ handed knitter comes right from this city. Just a week ago as Miss Ada C. Beauter, of the State Department of Health was tripping along on the ice one evening, she suddenly slip ped and fell, breaking a small bone of the left wrist, which will incapa citate her for office duties for some j time. The break had hardly been set j when she decided that she wasn't going to be idle for weeks, and being j fond of knitting, planned for a way to continue her help in the Red Cross. Various experiments were tried, and fianally a carpenter's vise was fastened to the arm of a chair, to firmly hold one knitting needle while the right hand skillfully manipulates the other. A khaki scarf was "cast on" at the Red Cross rooms and Miss Beauter finds she can work as evenly and rapidly as ever. Some of the idle folks who have the use of both hands ought to be stirred by Miss Beau ter's example and "get busy" them selves.

E. Downes had received a telegram from Washington stating that the new fuel laws made by the fuel ad ministration did not affect the pub lic schools. Principal Dibble com mended the students on their rec ord of attendance. The average rec ord is 95 per cent, and it only fell to 92 2-5 per cent, on Tuesday, the day of the blizzard, which resulted in traffic tie-up. Many students had to walk great distances through snow drifts because the street cars were not running. Principal Dib ble is especially pleased with the way students have been braving snow storms this winter. Final Tests Start Wednesday Instead of the regular midyear exams, which have been abolished, final two-period tests will be given Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

Postmaster Sites Speaks at Central In chapel Friday Postmaster Sites gave a short talk on the Baby Bond campaign which is to be staged at Central next week. In his address he said that Central had always 'done its share in the various campaigns for war funds and mentioned the record made during the Second Lib erty Bond campaign. He suggested that students buy sixteen twenty-five cent stamps and with the addition of twelve cents turn them over to the post office and then they will -eceive a five-dollar Baby Bond Ho pointed out that It is an unusual profitable investment. The bonds mature January 1, 1923, and bear five per cent interest. They may be withdrawn at any time the holder desires. Every person must make sacri fices, and this is the chance for the school children to do their share Perhaps they couldn't purchase Lib erty Bonds, but it is expected that every student can purchase at least one Baby Bond. Mr. Sites read an appeal from Secretary of Treasurer McAdoo on the necessity for thrift as it applies to school children. Self denial, the spirit of '76, is what must be brought to the fore these days. Superintendent Downes explained the method which is to be used dur ing this campaign. In order that it may be uniform in all city and county schools, he requested that the deposits be made through the School Savings fund and when $4.12 has been deposited the money be With drawn and a Baby Bond purchased Dauphin county is expected to sub scribe three million dollars in this campaign and Mr. Downes stated that a large amount of it must come through the public schools. A cam paign for the next liberty Bond sale will not be put into force at Cen tral. However students are request ed to buy as many bonds as pos sible. I). O. V. S. Club organized The D. O. V. S.

MARINE CORPS IN GREAT NEED OF U.S. TOBACCO Easiest Way to Help Fighters in France Is to Con tribute Now From the Hall of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli We fight our country's battles _On the land as on the sea. Urst to fight for right and freedom And to keep our lionor clean. We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marine. From the Pest Hole of Cavlte To the Ditch at Panama, You will find them very needy Of Marines (that's what we are): We're the watchdogs of a pile of coal Or we dig a magazine; Though he lends a hand at every Job Who would not be a Marine? Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in every clime or place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off nortliern lands And in sunny tropic scenes. You will find us always on the Job — THE UNITED STATES MARINES. Here's health to you and to our corps, Which we are proud to serve; In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve. If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes They will find the streets are guard ed by THE UNITED 'STATES MARINES. "Last week," relates a member of this lighting unit, "our corps got a check from a man in New York who they say has all kinds of coin. I don't, know why he - picked out our unit. Anyhow, he enclosed SSO for us to buy tobacco with. He said he had been a hard smoker all his life and that it nearly drove him crazy to quit but that he teit that he owed this to his country. So we're going to get that SSO right along, just what tie would have spent on smokes for himself. Hey, Dick Jones should have dedicated his poem to that sport, shouldn't he? He sure deserves some thing good for what <he gives us." The easiest way to 'insure tobacco getting to Americans in France is to contribute to the Harrisburg Tele graph's Tobacco Fund. Eacn quarter invested will send 45 cents in tobacco to the front.

Young Keister was a first class private In Company I, One Hundred and Twelfth United States Infantry, stationed at Camp Han cock, Georgia, and his discharge was due to physical disability, caused by rheumatism which he contracted while camping on Island Park, this city, last summer.

His condition improved and he then accompanied his fellow guardsmen to Camp Hancock. Rheu matism developed while stationed at this camp and his commanding of ficer, Captain Robert Jenkins, found K, ne S? ss ? ry t0 K,ve h,m an honor able discharge from service. RUSSIA FACES BREAK WITH RUMANIANS [Continued from First Page.] opposition to the followers of Pre mier Lenine. Demand that the assembly ap prove Bolshevik! peace terms and uind laws was made in the opening declaration ot temporary Chairman overdloft, representing the Con gress of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates. Demonstrations against Uolgheviki efforts to control the as sembly were not as large as ex. J.eeted, although five persons were Killed and a dozen injured by Red (guards when they fired on a group ol' p&raders. Another halt in the Russo-German peace pourparlers is reported in a news dispatch in London from Pet rograd which says that the Russian delegates are returning to their capital. Relations between the Bolshe vik! ami Rumania are at the break ins point. The Nlntli Russian armv has demanded that tlie Rumanian army on two hours' notice permit the Russians free passage through Jassy. Ferdinand, whose ar rest has been ordered by Premier Lenine. is reported to be under the protection of the entente allies. Jn Italy, as In France, the fight ing fronts have settled down to the usual winter routine of raids and artillery duels at various points. There has been no break in the mo notony on the western front, the British portion of which is now a sea of mud, the snow having dis appeared. British laboring men have been told by Premier Lloyd George that the new manpower bill is urgent and that Great Britain "must eith er go on or go under." He praised the war aims of President Wilson and declared he wanted to be in formed if any man could find an honorable and equitable- way out of the war without fighting it through to victory over German militarism. The premier said he was willing to appeal to the. country on the army issue. Peace Negotiations Move Toward Final Rapture, Declares Correspondent London, Jan. 19. Further dis patches from both the German and Russian sides regarding the nego tiations at Brest-Litovsk indicate the discussion on 'Wednesday turned largely on the question of the conditions to be recognized in disposing of Poland, Lithua nia and Courland, Dr. Von Kuehl mann, the German foreign secretary, said in effect that his government was willing to permit the peoples of the territories occupied by Ger man'and Austro-Hungarian troops to vote in regard to their political future, such vote to be taken not later than one year after the con clusion of a general peace. According to the Russian version, Leon Trotzky, Bolshevikl foreign minister, attempted to obtain a clear :-tatement whether the voting would be preceded by evacuation of those territories by the German armies. After several attempts to evade a direct reply, Dr. Von Kuehlmann declared that Germany could not undertake any obligation regarding withdrawal of the armies. M.

Apparent ly the negotiations were suspended on Thursday, although there is noth ing to indicate how things were left at adjournment. The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily News, telegraphing on Thursday, described the negotia tions as "steadily moving toward a linal rupture." Alluding to the pri vate negotiations between the Ger mans and the Ukrainians, the cor raspondent recalls his recent state ment that peace was more likely to be signed by the Ukrainians than the Bolsheviki. This supposition, he adds, is confirmed by the news that the Germans have been strengthen ed In their resistance to the Rus sians In consequence of the result ot the separate negotiations with th 9 Ukrainians. Dr. Von Kuehlmann let slip the fact that these discus sion;' already, had been begun, tak ing up the question of the frontiers. The importance of this, the corres pondent adds, lies in the fact that the Ukrainians are ready to nego tiate "Imperialistically" with a view to possible territorial gains, thus weakening the position of the Bol sheviki, whose strength consists in their absolute disregard of territor ial gains or losses and insistence that the inhabitants alone have the right to decide their fate.
