31 OFFICERS ARE
RETIRED FROM j
CAMP HANCOCK
Pennsylvania Guard Men Are
Replaced After Hard
Phvsical Tests
Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., Jan.
21.—Farewells and preparation for
leaving featured the activities of the
thirty-one officers of the Twenty
eighth division, who either resigned
or were discharged yesterday. Many |
of the officers had much paper work
to do in handing over their' affairs |
to their successors.
There was much sentiment in the j
breaking of ties between the officers j
and their friends and their old or-1
ganizations. Surprise is express
ed in the discharge of Colonel
Ezra H. Ripple, former commander!
of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania In-!
fantry, who is a tine physical speci- [
I men. Colonel Kipple is 38 years old.
He will leave for his home in Scran- j
ton. Pa., on Tuesday.
Lieutenant Colonel Edmund H. F. i
Conrad, formerly of the Thirteenth i
regiment, will leave with Colonel
Kipple. This is the second time fori
them to leave in going out of the
I service, for it was here in 1898 that
I both were mustered out in the Span-1
j ish-American war.
Lieutenant Colonel Marshall L.:
Case, formerly of the Fourth Penn- |
sylvania infantry, will leave here
Tuesday. Major James F. Moore, j
formerly of the First Pennsylvania I
Cavalrv. already has left. Major j
Samuel H. Heller, of the Fourth in- j
| fantry, of Lancaster, Pa., will leave;
Tuesday. The other retired officers!
i will leave on either Tuesday orj
! Wednesday.
] Lieutenant Colonel Arthur S. Fritz- j
ir.ger. of Philadelphia, acting com- i
\ mander of the One Hundred and:
| Ninth infantry, was to-day relieved j
of his command and superseded by;
| Lieutenant Colonel Wallace W. Fet-t
icr. of Milton, Pa., formerly of the!
i'First Pennsylvania cavalry.
I Fritzinger now is attached to the
| One Hundred and Third engineers, j
; The physical examination given
I the retiring officers, it is said, was
I \er\" rigid. One of the features of
i the test was that they were requir-1
| ed to hop on first one foot and then j
on the other foot fifty times, after'
! which an examination of their lieartj
, was taken.
Fair Prices For Food to
Be Determined Tonight:
! Ft is expected that the publication I
1 of fair -wood prices will begin this |
week in Harrisburg. To-night a meet- j
ing has been arranged between the j
grocers and the Food Administration j
I authorities with the purpose of in-
I forming the city twice a week what
j prices are considered right.
| prices refer exclusively to cash and
I carry purchases, and the Food Ad-
II ministration has no power to enforce
their suggestions. However, this pub
licity. it is intended, will notify the
public where fair rates prevail so that
| ii customer can get the benefit.
I !
ia. m. to 11.30 p. m.. All-night cars
I will be run as usual.
On the Valley Railways lines schcd-
I ules will be maintained to take care
I of the men who work in the steel
| mills and in the Enola shops. State
' Administrator Potter last night wired
j the company that it can run its cars
to take care of the men. Sunday
1 schedules will be maintained.
LOYAL WOMEN FROM COLORED
CHURCH WORK FOR RED CROSS
jm. ?t ■ I
Among the finest worls turned in
at local Red Cross headquarters is
that of the workers from the Wick
ersham Auxiliary, composed of wo
men from the colored churches of
the city. The auxiliary was organiz
ed December 6, by Mrs. Lew R. Pal
mer. The photograph shows a
number of these enthusiastic work
ers in their uniforms. "I am de
lighted with their workJ> said Mrs.
Lyman D. Gilbert, president of the
local chapter. "We have very few
auxiliaries which do better work
than that of tnese women." Mrs.
Lew R. Palmer, the organizer, has
expressed her great pleasure with
the excellent work which has be?n
done by the auxiliary.
Officers of the auxiliary are: i
Drummer Boy Hidden 30
Months From Germans
Dti' i'.n, After spending thirty
ironths in hiding in torltory oocu-
X led by <hc Germans, S. n.nc! KiM.
a young Irish drummer boy, who
was officially reported killed a month
after war broke out, has just been re
ported safe in Germany.
He was taken prisoner at St. Quen
tin, in August, 1914, but escaped and
tried to rejoin his regiment. Unable
to l%ave the town, he took refuge in
the home of four spinster dressmak
ers, who kept him hidden for two
years and a half, until St. Quentin
was evacuated by the civilian pop
ulation on March G, last. He then
decided to surrender, and has been
sentenced to ten years' imprison
ment for refusing to divulge the
n;'mes of his benefactors.

Saloons Closed Tight on
First Heatless Monday
Every saloon in Ilarrisburg was
closed to-day and will be closed 011
the following nine heatless Mondays
ordered by the National Fuel Adminis-
I tration. Restaurants, hotels and clubs
will likewise eliminate the sale of
I liquor on these days. The uncommon
[ situation was the direct result of the
I edict prohibiting the heating of bar
rooms in saloons, hotels, clubs and any
other buildings on heatless Monday.
There was complete unanimity of
action on the part of Harrisburg inn
keepers, whether they feared the Ji>,-
000 tine and two years' imprisonment,
or because the liquor associations im
mediately got busy in backing up the
Government. Closing of all bars in
the state was officially ordered by
Thomas J. O'Connor, of Krie, president
of the Sttae Retail Dealers' Associa
tion. who advised "a strict compliance
of the State Retail Dealers' Associa
and requesting receivers of the mes
sage in every county of the state to
close the bars and refrain from sell
ing liquor on the ten Mondays.
COUNCIL TO TRY
AGAIN TO ELECT !
CITY TREASURER
-
Commissioners llope to Clear;
Muddle That lias Split
Members Into Factions
Election of a city treasurer vi'lll
be the most' important business be
fore Council to-morrow morning.
After the conference on Friday
evening at which three of the can
didates were cleared of "charges"
that had been made by one of the
commissioners, it was decided to
postpone any further action until
to-morrow. Last week the comniis
sio)i*t£ decided to nominate and bal.
lot for their candidates at each roll
call. It is not known whether the
same course will be followed to-mor
row, or whether "lists" of candi
dates will be submitted and each
name taken up in turn.
An ordinance raising the city
water rates to manufacturers and
private users will probably be (intro
duced. It is understood the new
rates have been prepared. The mini
mum rate to householders will be
raised from $4 to $6. Similar in
creases will be made on all other
; charges, it is said.
As bids for ash collections under
the three-district plan will not be
, opened until Saturday, it is not like
. |'y any action will be taken in con
/, ncciion with the ash and garbage
situation. The garbage regulations
ijwere passed finally last week, and
i.jliagy Brothers. Lancaster, have re
s ported they will be ready to start
I j collections February 1, when the
. ■ present contract ends.
r j 1 lie ash problem will be the worst
I one for the commissioners, as it is
- not believed any contractor can
'*! q * work for at least three weeks
I,alter lie has been authorized to do
b th-i coUect'on work. This will mean
e, that during a large part of next
'. mo.nth there will be no ash collec
tions made in any part of the city,
_ and if residents do not hire some

. it will take weeks to remove the big
II piles which accumulate.
War Marriages Should
Be Encouraged, Says
Dr. Clara McNaughton
.1, Ml mv oP'nion and in that of all
.', rc \ n ! with whom 1 have asso
£ during my three years' work
■in fans, the Americans are doing
wrong- in their tacit discouragement
of war marriages," said Dr. Clara!
-1 ilacNaughton, in an address to the
* | -National League of American Pen
tj women in Washington.
e *Prience of tjie French is
- r t ? W i ar '"'id 6 ' is an immense
. factor in the determination of the
people and their confidence of ulti
f V ii C ? ly ' , Tile married man
lights better because his stake in
the struggle> is greater, lie is more
hopeful, and when depressed, more
quickly gets back to normal. The
constant thought of one who lives
in the hope of his homecoming helps
JRnore hardships.
"French surgeons have been quick
to recognize that the married' man
nas an added stimulus to get well.
If hopelessly crippled he is sure of
devotion, and has not, like the bach
elor soldier, the feeling that his fu
ship lilus * devoid of companion-
I or the woman the 'war mar
riage is equally an incentive—not
not only to do her 'bit' but-her 'all.'
bh,e enters more fully into the war
work, and the fact that her affections
are so greatly engaged causes her
to minimize the hardships which
weigh so heavily upon the unmar
ried.
"While ill-considered and hasty
war marriages are not to be defend
ed on any ground, the marriage of
those whose acquaintance is of long
standing and whose affections are
firmly llxed, should not, in my judg
ment, be postponed. That we have
so generally urged their postpone
ment is a part of the American idea
that women should be shielded as
far as possible from the buffets of
life. The French are taking the
view that the woman has as much
right to risk her all for her country
as the man-soldier has.
If wo are to have a long war,
such marriages will mean an in
crease in population of which we
will stand greatly in need."

man of the housing committee of the
V. W. C. A., which is working out
plans for the housing of girls en
gaged in war work at munitions
plants, camps and cantonments. The
committee has already started build
ing a house at Charleston, S. C.. which
will accommodate about one hundred
girl workers. The house at Charles

others which will be erected through

SUGAR
With a view to giving the public a cor
rect understanding of the sugar situation,
the following FACTS are presented:
Existing conditions are world wide in their effect, not in
any sense local. Any consideration of the question of
available sugar supply must take into account a series of ex
traordinary factors.
The immediate effect of the declaration of the European
war was to cut off from the world's market the sugar of the
Central Powers. About one-third of the world's total pro
duction formerly came from within the present battlelines of
Europe. The Western battlefront passes through the sugar
producing territory of France and of Belgium. In conse
quence, England, France and other foreign countries have
competed with the United States for Cuba's cane sugar.
Not only did this cause an advance in the price of raw and
refined sugar, but until competition was checked by the
recent agreement among the Allies, it resulted in lessening
the supply available to the people of this country last fall.
At the same time, an abundance of sugar—hundreds of
thousands of tons —has been locked up in far-away Java,
owing to the lack of ships to transport it. It is no more
available than unmined gold. To provide ships to bring this
sugar here —or to Europe—would withdraw them from the
more important business of carrying our soldiers and their
supplies overseas, as Mr. Hoover has pointed out.
The nation-wide movement to save the fruit crop last sea
son greatly increased the use of sugar. While the quantity
in the sugar bowl was for this and other reasons lessened,
this sugar is wisely stored as food in preserved fruits, jams
and jellies.
"Every jar of fruit preserved adds that much to our in
surance of victory, adds that much to hasten the end of
this conflict."
Because of the increased demand for sugar, more sugar
cane has been planted in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Louisiana, the chief sources from which the United States
gets cane sugar.
The reports from Cuba and Porto Rico make the situation
more favorable than a month ago for a supply to meet the
sugar needs of all who are dependent on this source—includ
ing this country, our soldiers abroad and the Allies.
We buy raw cane sugar in the open market and refine it.
To the extent of our ability, we are co-operating with the
Government to insure a fair distribution of cane sugar, to
stabilize the price to the consumer and to prevent hoarding
and waste. We kept our refineries working last fall so long
as there was a ton of raw sugar to be had.
In order to make our output of refined sugar go as widely
as possible, we distribute Franklin Cane Sugars in convenient
size cartons and small cotton bags. These small-size pack
ages make it easy for grocers to limit sales to actual needs
and to prevent hoarding. They help to prevent waste in
the home. Housewives can cooperate with this plan by
asking for these package sugars.
It will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch
carefully their distribution and purchases during the ap
proaching period of readjustment. The refineries are now
starting up and supplies of raw sugar coming forward but it
will take weeks, and possibly months, for the return of
normal conditions.
In war-time and at all times it is our aim to safeguard the
interests of the public we serve.
