MONDAY EVENING,
WOMAN PASSENGER LOST
CONDUCTOR BACKS TRAIN;
LEAVES CHILD ON SEAT
Hutchinson, Kan., Jan. 28.—"N0.
593 lost fifty minutes looking for a
lost woman," is the way the conduc
tor of Santa Fe train 593, on the
Dodgo Clty-Clmmaron Valley
branch, accounts for nearly an
hour's delay in his report to the
division trainmaster.
The westbound train reached Mon
tezuma at noon and stopped for
lunch. A woman passenger left the
train to get luncheon, leaving her
infant child asleep In the chair car,
unattended. The train had pulled
out when she returned to the station
from the lunch room around the
corner.

To Clear Reading Lines
Is Order From Officials
Beading, Jan. 28.—President A.
T. Dice, Vice-President C. H. Ewing,
General Manager F. M. Falck and I.
A. Seidcrs, superintendent of motive
power and rolling equipment, with
General Superintendent W. H. Kef
fer, of the Reading Railway, held a
conference in the office of Mr. Kef
fer Saturday.
There was a general discussion of
the freight and coal situation and it
was found that, barring the embar
go prevailing, the Beading is in very
good shape. It was found that the
railway has not been blocked at any
time. The delays have always been
due to the inability of the connect
ing lines to take care of the traffic
offered them as rapidly as it was de
livered.
General Manager Falck reported
that preparations are being made to
clear up the anthracite fields, and if
nothing happens there will not be a
loaded car in the entire region to
day, barring further snowstorms.

Near Old On nip Meade
The local yards are sufficiently
large to insure prompt handling of
shipments in and out and the trans
fer facilities are unexcelled. Good
roads connect the site with all of
the big industrial centers of the east
and west. It is well back from the
seashore in case of attack, yet close
enough to insure prompt handling
of consignments for coast defense or
abroad. It has an abundance of
water supply, is close to the coal
centers and has the backing of the
great Bethlehem Steel plants at
Steelton in case of stress and de
mands for hasty deliveries of steel
products. By strange coincidence it
is located just across the railroad
from the old Camp Meade of Span
ish-American war days.
Nearly as Large as Steelton
It is a practical certainty that the
plants will be maintained here per
manently after the war and that the
new town about to spring up will be
a big feeder for Harrisburg. A town
as large as Steelton, or nearly so,
seems assured within the coming
year. It is understood that plans are
already prepared for the first of the
houses and that schools, store and
office buildings, a post office, garages
and churches are contemplated, but
as to this details are lacking,
llailronds All Ready
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, with Superintendent J. K.
Johnston and Division Freight
Agent W. J. Rose, in charge of ne
gotiations, has been assisting the
government agents very quietly for
some time and are prepared to run
the necessary lines for the sidings
and railroad facilities that will be
immediately required.
Just how soon work will be start
ed on the construction of the build
ings is not known, but most likely
within thirty days, the meantime
being occupied with letting the con
tracts and the assemblylng of work
men, equipment and materials.
The immensity of the development
may be judged from the announce
ment that it is to be the largest of
its kind in the country. The esti
mated cost is withheld, but "it will
run into the millions.
Representatives of the big con
tacting firm of Mellon-Stewart
Company and the Grace Construc
tion Company, of Pittsburgh, were
in Harrisburg Saturday looking over
the location.
KnKlne*rrd by Marshall
The deal was engineered by Robert
Marshall, of the State Fair Company,
who represented Hord and Company,
who took over the management of
the reorganized corporation last sum
mer. Mr. Marshall has been in Wash
ington for some months and the lease
would have been closed much sooner
had it not been for the illness of
a Government representative whose
signature was required. The papers
finally reached the city early this
morning and the land is now under
Government control.
The story of the development was
brought to this city piecemeal by
men who have seen the plans at
Washington and by engineers In
charge of the work. There is no
doubt, however, that at least twenty
five 6-story concrete-and-steel build
ings will be erected and It may be
that this will be increased to twenty
eight, all of them of the most mod
ern factory construction, counterparts
of each other and built for permanent
use. They are to be erected to carry
all manner of heavy machinery and
big pieces of apparatus. The ma
chine shops will be necessary for the
assembling of the immense quantities
of parts to be made elsewhere, for
the making and repair of tools and
other uses of the kind.
It Is generally understood that
Harrisburg and vicinity nre to be the
center of supplies of all kinds and
that the War Department is building
permanently so that it m£.y never be
caught napping again. It Is said to
be the opinion of Secretary of War
Baker and his advisers that It would
be folly to build anything but the
most modern and permanent of struc
tures, so that the money expended
will not be lost, but will be of per
manent value to the nation.
"It seems like a lot of money,
$13,000,000." said a well-known Har
risburger to-day who has been Inter
ested in bringing the plant to this
city, "but I am assured by the vari
ous contractors who have been bid
ding on the Jab that It will be at
least that amount and probably $15,-
000,000. You can scarcely grasp what
this means for this city. Business of
every kind will be stimulated and the
result will be a city almost the whole
way from Rockville to the lower end
of Middletown; the Government lease
and eventual purchase making It as
sured that the now unbuilt stretch
will be covered with houses at no
distant date. I understand that a
number of Harrisburg men have
quietly taken options on large acre
ages of land below the city and In
the vicinity of the Government de
velopment and will proceed to build
It up as fast as there Is demand for
houses. I think this is the biggest
thing that has happened for Harris
burg since the Pennsylvania Steel
plants were located here. We will
begin to understand the magnitude
of the thing only when the con
struction gets under way and we see
a new little city springing up on the
open fields to the east of us,"
Aviation Plant Enlarged
It became known this morning that
the aviation plant on the state fair
tract, which Is entirely separate from
the new development. Is to be greatly
enlarged. It Is overcrowded now and
there is need for at least three times
its present floorspace, . It Is said that
the Mellon-Stewart Company is low
bidder on this work.

SCHEIDEMANN WA
FAILURE TO MAKE
RUSRIA WILL MEAN CATASTROPHE
Amsterdam, Jan. 28. - hillpp
Scheidemann, president of the So
oial Democrat party in Germany,
answering Chancellor von Hertllng's
speech in the main committee of the
Reichstag, warned the Imperial
Government that if it did not bring
aljcut peace between Germany and
Russia "they would be liurlel from
power."
Scheidemann's reply to the Chan
cellor, as published by the Vor
waerts, of Berlin, follows:
"Two chief arguments were ad
vanced by the militarist party for the
prolongation of the war, namely, liie
success of the U-boats and the
strength of our army. But these

tory in six months, according to
the announcement made 'in 191f?,
Alas, that period has long since
passed, and while the U-boat has ad
mittedly harmed England enor
mously its chief visible eifect has
been the entry of America into the
war.
"If the United States had not en
tered the war we may be sure the
Russian revolution would long ago
have brought a general peace.
America Great Obstacle
"What about the army? Suppose
the army should capture Calais and
Paris, would that mean peace? I
say 'No!'
"Suppose the army conquered
mean peace? I say 'No,' for we
would B till have to conquer Amer
ica."
Herr Scheldemann fiercely attack
ed the militarist leaders, declaring
that their attitude toward Austria
was likely to lose for Germany her
last friend.
"If our Government leaders can
not free us from these 'patriots,'
said the Social Democrat leader,
"they had better go. I warn them
that if they do not bring us peoe
with Russia they will be hurled from
power."
Herr Scheldemann declared that
an agreement easily was possible on
eleven points of President Wilson's
statement.
"But Mr. Wilson must be told
plainly," the speaker said, "that
Alsace is Germany's and will remain
so. If one clear word Is spoken re

"I cannot see the day," Herr
Scheidemann went on, "when Ger
many will say to the Entente: "We
accept your terms. We are beaten.'
But Just as little can I see the day
when England, France and the Unit
ed States Mill say the same to us."
Regarding relations between Ger
many and Austria, Herr Scheide
mann said an indication of the Aus
trian feeling toward the present Ger
man regime might be gathered from
the fact that during the recent dem
onstrations in Vienna the Austrian
Emperor was openly and repeatedly
insulted.
Blames Junkers in Austria
This was due, he said, to attacks
of the German junkers on Austria.
He declared the Junker press had
been demanding that "more Ger
many should be freed from Austria."
Touching on President Wilson's
peace terms, Herr Scheidemann said:
"Regarding Alsace, there is noth
ing for us to redress. It will remain
ours. But as for Belgium, let us
cease meddling in Flemish politico.
"Let us seek in honor to save the
world from new bloodshed in the
spring. Let us give up illusions on
both sides. Remember that the feel
ing among our people is most ser
ious.

Clara Kimball Young tation of the
lw "Shirley Knye" famous novel,
"Shirley
Kaye," the attraction at the Colonial

a finished piece of acting, and it is a
pleasure to watch her movements on
'the screen. The star runs the gamut
of . human emotions in this . picture.
The picture is not without a vein of
comedy, however, and in these comedy
moments Miss Young's brilliant gifts
as a comedienne show to splendid ad
vantage. A strong cast of screen
players has been selected for this
production.

have, the opportunity Friday and Sat
urday of this week to see her in a
screen presentation of the famous
opera, "Thais."
Dorothy. Dalton, the popular Para

direction of Thomas H. Ince. Miss
Dalton recently joined the Paramount
forces, after achieving 1 fame with Tri
angle.
As Eileen Harland, young wife of
a district attorney, Dorothy Dalton
makes a determined struggle for her
husband's confidence. In her girlhood
she had written indiscreet letters to
Raymond Moreland, who poses as a
teacher of erotic Eastern creeds, but
health Is assured.
But you should take no chances
with this mainstay of defense. Im
purities are liable to creep into your
blood and so weaken your system,
that It is unable to resist even the
most ordinary ailments. This means
the beginning of the attack, which
will result In the undermining of
your health.
S. S. S., the world's most renown
ed blood remedy, will keep the blood
absolutely pure and free of every
trace of impurity. This great old
remedy, which has been in constant
use for more than fifty years, keeps
the system in perfect condition by
purifying the blood and cleansing it
thoroughly. White for valuable book

is in reality, a cad and a villain of the
deepest dye.
How she sacrifices herself to obtain
these letters, only to fail and be ac
cused of Moreland's murder, and how
her husband's assistant, also an old
lyover of hers, clears her, makes a
gripping photoplay—one of the best
Paramount pictures that has been
proluced under the supervision of the
famous director, Thomas 11. Ince.
When a man comes face to face
with his mortal enemy and the two of
them stand bare-
Wllllnm Fnrnum handed with the
nt the Victoria lust of conquest
blazing in their
eyes, the veneer of civilization slips
from them like a cloak and the slum
bering passions of the cave-men an
cestors awaken in their hearts. It is
then when a man sees red, and it is
"When a Man Sees lted" in all that
the phrase implies, that has been
chosen as the totle of the wonderful
William Fox production to be shown
at the Victoria Theater to-day and
Wednesday only, and in which the
noted William Farnum is starred.
This most remarkable picture is de
veloped from the famous story, "The
Painted Lady," by Larry Kvans, which
appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post a short while ago. It is a play
of a different character and for that
reason will attract a great many peo
ple to the Victoria Theater during the
days when this feature is shown. For
Thursday and Friday "Alimony," an
all-powerful domestic drama that
teaches a lesson, will be presented by
an all-star cast.

Pennsy Runs Crews
Through On All Divisions
Running through with trains to
the Middle and other divisions, crews
from the Baltimore division and ad
ditional points on the Pennsy sys
tem are striving to aid the company
in getting freight to destinations
more rapidly.
This is the initial instance on tho
Pennsy when freight crews from di
visions as remote a3 the Baltimore
have continued on through runs so
long. They are operating over tho
Middle and other divisions with the
assistance of pilots. The company
has found that engines can be used
over other divisions in passenger
service and now the men in the
freight work are getting innovations
in the way of long, direct runs.
Officials are bending every effort,
to keep freight of tho class not af
fected by embargoes, moving and
much coal was hauled east yesterda.v
while hundreds of empty cars were
rushed back toward mines. Consid
erable trouble has been experienced
this week in the coal used on loco
motives but the motive power is
standing up under tho terrific strain
unprecedented in railroading, as well
as can be expected.
