El Caney
Camp Meade. Admiral, Md., Jan. 30.
—Former President Taft addressed
3,500 negro troopers yesterday and
finished his campaign at this canton
ment. He has spokeji to more than
10,000 men here, delivering a mes
'sage which Brigadier General Nichol
son said he knew had a wonderfully
stimulating effect. "The speeches,"
raid the general, "were wonderful ar
gumentations. presented by a law
yers mind, and we could sense the
conviction growing upon the men
that they were engaged in a battle
against tyranny and would fight to
the bitter end."
Mr. Taft aroused enthusiasm among
the negro troopers when he said that
the country is looking to them "to
fight nobly and unflinchingly against
the foe." He said:
"Remember the way the men of
your race fought at El Caney. Re

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
floats for you as It does for me. The
men and the women and the children
whom tlo Germans sent to their
death when the Lusltanta was tor
pedoed were of the same country as
you. They loved that country the
same as you love It. Those men and
those women and those children were
murdered. That's the only word for
it. You are to punish the men who
perpetrated that murder. By shot
and shell and bayonet point you are
to press onward to Berlin and show
that humanity will not let criminals
hide behind the cloak of kultur. You
are to fight for honor and decency
and right. You are to stand shoul
der to shoulder with your white
brothers-in-arms and make William
I-lohenzollern and his Potsdam crew
know that this is a world where
murder by men fed on a blood-an
iron policy must cetTse and where a
kultur that reeks with barbarity
must perish from the earth.
"We are not afraid of the way you
will act. We know that red blood
courses through your veins; that your
hearts are brave and that they love
the right. Never has your race had
so glorious an opportunity to win
honor and to shine before your fel
lowmen. We know that America need
never be ashamed of you; that you
will fight apd die that America may
live."

ADVANTAGES
IN AUTOMOBILE
Auto Educational Value Is
Enhanced by Economy,
Says Hansen
"Every year the public becomes
more and more appreciative of the
educational advantages of the auto
mobile and this year the car's ad
vantages in that respect are more
alluring than ever principally
from an economical standpoint,"
said Carl Hanson, of the Overland
llarrisburg Co., to a group of
friends at the show Saturday night.
They were discussing the far-reach
ing effect generally brought about
by the purchase of a motor vehicle.
"With war's financial demands
making necessary a nation-wide
practice of wise but not miserly
economy, any degree of conserva
tion in travel expense will be highly
commendable," he continued.
"Before automobiles came into
vogue, the family that traveled for
educational as well as recreational
reasons was more or less at the
mercy of expensive hotels and costly
transportation. While the mileage
fare on trains was not excessive, as
a rule, the incidental expenses re
quired a considerable outlay of
funds; in fact, the family in mod
erate circumstances did little, If
any, traveling.
"To-day, the motor car has made
possible long trips into the coun
try's most historical and scenic dis
tricts.- The lowest-priced hotel ac
commodations are available for the
touring motorist, inasmuch as he la
not compelled to stop just where the
train drops him off. A distance of
twenty-five or thirty miles is but a
few minutes' ride and he can select
his own stopping place to suit his
convenience and pocketbook.
"Furthermore, some of the most
interesting places in the country are
situated miles from railroad centers.
To reach them, without your own
car, requires expensive livery rental
and oftentimes uncomfortable trav
eling. One can avoid all of that If
he drives his own machine.
"The educational advantages of
automobile travel can hardly be ex
aggerated. Think of the young boys
and girls. In families where cars .ire
owned, who can talk more intelli
gently about places of historical in
terest than the average adult who
has spent his life there. They
gained their knowledge through the
medium of the automobile, more
than through text books. They were
brought in direct contact with these
places while touring with their par
ents and the mental impressions
they received were firm and lasting.
"The same holds true in the case
of parents. A pretty home, a novel
piece of architecture, a garden out
of the ordinary, any one of a thou
sand things, are available in an
educational way for the motorist.
"And the feature of it all is that
the motor car owner can enjoy those
advantages at a minimum of ex
pense."
Trucks Used to Move
The Studebaker Exhibit
At the close of the New York
Automobile Show it was decided to
ship one of the Studebaker new
models to the Baltimore dealer for
a week's exhibition in that city.
Fully aware of the seriousness of the
transportation crisis in the east, anj
not wcDting to put any additional
burden upon the railroads, Stude
baker officials concluded to send
their cars overland.
Loading the Studebaker "show
car" aboard a big truck, securing
it firmly with blocks and rope, ind
covering it over with a heavy tar
paulin to prevent Injury from the
elements, the cross-country trip of
nearly 200 miles to Baltimore was
begun. In spite of the fact that
reads were snow-bound throughout
the east, and almost impassable ut
some places, the southern city was
reached quickly and without any
eventlul occurence to record.
DISTRIBUTING SHOVEL TAGS
West Shore school children to
day were busy distributing tags in
doing their bit in connection with
the observation of "Save a Shovel
ful of Coal." The tags were given
by the teachers in the various in
stitutions and children took a spe
cial delight in getting into the coal
pilc.9 hi the homes of the residents
and attaching the small cards to the
shovels. Principals of the schools
had charge of the campaign.
HAHRIS3URG TELEGRAPH
PUBLIC SAFETY
REPORTS FILED
Some of the Eminent Citizens
Do Not Like Jo Send De
tailed Information
Practically every public safety
committee and most of the burgesses
and mayors of Pennsylvania muni
cipalities have sent to the Adjutant
General's office data regarding the
police forces of their communities
and the steps being taken to guard
industrial, railroad and other estab
lishments. The data is now being
compiled and will show the extent
of the municipal police, special vol
unteer, railroad, industrial and other
police forces and how they are or
ganized and armed as well as the
strength and system of the home
defejxse, reserve and similar organ
izations and how often they drill and
other data, including number of men
employed at various mills.
Some of the burgesses are vol
uminous in their answers, while
others decline to bo specific. A cou
ple of men have written, ob
jecting to furnishing so much infor
mation because they receive no sal
aries, while one man demanded re
turn postage, spending as much to
demand that as he would have done
in answering the inquiry properly.
In another case a western man used
up a whole sheet of letter paper in
giving his private and unadorned
opinion of the borough fathers and
the copl companies in his commun
ity.
Chalmers Passes
Cold Weather Test
One of the most severe tests that
an automobile can be put to has just
been administered to a stock Chal
mers,, and it passed through the or
deal with flying colors. The ma
chine was left standing in front of
the Grand Central Palace, where
the Eighteenth Annual Automobile
Show was being held, for fifteen
hours, during which time the aver
age temperature was twenty-five de
grees above zero.
W. H. Traband, Jr., one-time sec
retary of the Automobile Association
of America's Contest Board, sat in
the. machine throughout the test and
submitted a report to the judges
which showed that after the auto
mobile had been standing on ice and
snow in sub-freezing temperatures
for fifteen hours the first explosion
occurred five seconds after the start
er was pressed and in forty sec
onds the engine was running per
fectly.

IN BERUN SHOPS

the six leaders of the Independent
Socialist party while at Kiel the
leaders ot' the obdurate workmen
have been sent into the army.
In Berlin and Its miburhs' 90,000
workers were not at their tasks
.Monday, seriously hampering the
electric works and airplane factor
ies about the capital. Strikes in the
great manufacturing district along
the Rhine and in Westphalia also
are reported. The steel-making dis
trict of Essen has been affected and
at Kiel 4 workers in torpedo factor
ies and'in dockyards have been out
since Friday.
Meetings in the industrial cen
ters liave been prohibited. The strike
agitation has been fostered by the
Independent Socialists and not by
trade unions. In addition to order
ing the arrest of the Independent
Socialist leaders the authorities are
said to have imprisoned Adolph
Hoffman, editor of the Vorwaerts,
the Socialist organ, and Indepen
dent Socialist leaders in the Prus
sian Diet.
The strike movement is said to be
directed against the delay in passing
the Prussian reform bill and the an
nexation propaganda conducted by
the Fatherland party, which has as
sailed bitterly the conduct of the
German emissaries at Brest-Litovsk.
Generally, the strikes broke out
Monday, the day after the Emperor's
birthday.
Revolutionists Set Up Government
In Finland the revolutionists have
set up a government of their own.
I.,ate reports are to the effect that
the lighting has lessened in inten
sity, with the revolutionists in con
trol in the south and the govern
ment forces victorious in the north.
Swedish subjects in Finland are en
dangered by the revolt and one re
port is to the effect that Swedish
troops already have entered Fin
land to aid the government and the
Senate.
Italy's successful smash against
the invaders in the Asiago region
has been the only important mili
tary event. The Austrians, defeat
ed in their first counterattacks, have
not yet attacked the new Italian po
sitions in great force. The Italians
have made secure their gains east
of Asiago, in the capture of which
they took more than 1,500 prison
ers. On the western front the Brit
ish have repulsed an attempted raid
near Arras and the French checked
a German raiding party in Alsace,
taking prisoners. The artillery and
aerial activity is most marked in
Flanders and in Northern Italy.
The armed British escort vessel
Mechanician and the British torpedo
gunboat Hazard have been lost in
the English channel. The Mechani
cian was torpedoed and stranded on
January 20 with the loss of thir
teen men. A collision caused the
sinking of the Hazard on Monday.
Three lives were lost.
Czernin-Wilson Story
Is Exploded in Berlin
Washington, Jan. 30.—The story
that Count Czernin told Austrian
delegates he had sent a copy of his
war aims speech to President Wilson
in advance of delivery was exploded
yesterday by a cable received at the
State Department quoting an extract
form the Berliner Tageblatt explaining
that, refusing to transmit his address
directly to the President, Czernin
said he would get it "immediately by
telegraph." The Berliner Tageblatt
said:
"It would be wrong to take Czer
nin's statement too literally and to
believe that the Amercan President
received directly or indirectly from
Austria a special report on the
speech. The facts are as follows:
"A Socialist delegate requested
Czernin to transmit his reply to Wil
son through the intermediary of a
neutral country. Czernin refused, say
ing Wilson would get it (the speech)
immediately by telegraph. Thus the
expression 'at the same hour' is not
to be taken literally. With the ex
ception of Czechs and the Socialists
who preferred direct communication
to Wilson, all others were satisfied
with Czernln's reply. It can be reit
erated that there was no direct com
munication and that the good offices
of neutral powers were not re
quested." .
FEED THE QUAIL
URGES KALBFUS
Greater Need For It Now
Than at Any Time in Re
cent Years, Hft Says
"Pennsylvania will lose many val
uable game birds this winter as the
result of the terrible snows and the
intense cold," says Dr. Joseph Kalb
fus. Secretary of the State Game
Commission, in talking over the sit
uation in regard to the game which
Is in the woods and the fields un
able to get food because of the depth
of snows. "If it was not for what
sportsmen of the state have done in
the way of feeding the game birds
we would have hardly any left. The
reports I am getting tell of bad con
ditions since the first of the year.*
Dr. Kalbfus said that game war
dens have been distributing grain,
the cost being taken out of the re
ceipts from hunters' license funds
and that as a result many quail ant!
pheasants have been saved. The
turkeys have been getting close to
inhabited districts in some counties.
"This winter has demonstrated
how foolish it would liUve been to
have declared the quail a song birl,"
said the Game Commission Secre
tary. "The sportsmen would not
have fed the quail, as they are do
ing all over the state. And at the
present price of grain I am not sure
what the farmers would have done.
It also shows that it will be most
important for the sportsmen to get
together and arrange to help the
wardens feed the birds. We have
more winter coming."
Cadillac Device Saves
Alcohol in Radiator
Prices of glycerine having soared
to almost impossible heights "on ac
count of the war," many motorists
have turned to alcohol as the anti
freeze fluid for the radiators of their
cars. Alcohol serves quite well in
protecting the radiator and cooling
system from freezing, but its rapid
evaporation when heated necessitates
frequent renewals throughout the
winter. Now the Cadillac engineers
have found a way to minimize the
effects of evaporation.
In announcing this latest improve
ment to the Cadillac Eight, the com
pany states that it is covered by
basic patent rights.
The device is strikingly simple in
principle and in application. It serves
as a trap for the alcohol vapors that
ordinarily escape, condensing them
and returning them in condensed
form to the .active part of the cool
ing system. It consists of a small
tank and a pipe connecting the bot
tom of the tank with the overflow
pipe of the radiator. When the heat
ed liquid in the radiator vaporizes—
as always occurs in motorcar opera
tion—both the alcohol and water
vapors are carried through the pipe
to the bottom of the tank, which is
partially filled with the same liquid
as is in the'radiator. As the vapor
bubbles up through this liquid, it is
restored to liquid form and saved.
The top of the radiator is made
airtight by a special gasket in the
radiator cap. The cap of the con
denser tank is provided with an air
vent. When the liquid in the radiator
becomes cooled, a vacuum forms
and the condensed fluid is forced
back into the circulation system.
The condenser also conserves the
water supply in hot weather—an
advantage when motoring through

Cumberland County Food
Administrator Gives Out
New Regulations
H. H. Mentzer, Cumberland Coun
ty Pood Administrator, 'to-day re
ceived the following announcement
relative to the new Victory Bread:
"Pursuant to the proclamation of
President Wilson calling upon the
nation for increased conservation of
all supplies of wheat and other food
staples and acting under rulings is
sued this day by the United States
Food Administration, it is ordered
that effective on and after Monday,
January 29, all licensed bakers in
the state of Pennsylvania are re
quired to mix a minimum of five per
cent, of other cereals with wheat
flour in baking bread rolls, increas
ing this substitute to minimum of
twenty-nine per cent, on or before
February 24.
"A patriotic appeal is made to
bakers who now have a sufficient
supply of substitutes on hand to per
mit of inaugurating the full mini
mum substitute of twenty per cent,
at once. Owing to the present gen
eral shortage of cereals supplies and
difllculties and delay in transporta
tion the administration ruling limit
ing flour sales in the trade is under
the discretionary power vested In
me as State Administrator tempo
rarily modified for Pennsylvania as
follows:
"Licensed wholesalers of wheat
flour may until further notice sell it
to retailers in combination with
other recognized substitutes In the
minimum ratio of one pound substi
tute with each six pounds of wheat
flour purchased, unless it Is first
definitely determined that substi
tues in equivalent quantities have
been previously purchased from an
other source.
"Retailers of wheat flour ■will only
sell to consumers in combination
with substitute cereals in the same
minimum ratio as prescribed for
wholesale dealers. No ordinary fam
ily consumer should be sold at one
time, if city resident, not more than
twenty-four pounds of wheat flour,
if country resident not more than
forty-eight pounds. Cereals to be
recognized as substitutes are corn
meal, cornstarch, corn flour, hom
iny, corn grits, liarley flour, rice
flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck
wheat flour, potato flour, sweet po
tato flour, soya bean flour, deterita
flours and meals and no others.
Hotels, restaurants and public
eating places will be expected to ob
serve Monday and Wednesday of
each week as wlieatless days and
also in addition one wheatless meal,
the evening meal on each day, when
no crackers, pastries, macaroni,
breakfast foods or other cereals con
taining wheat should be used. And
a similar observance is urged upon
all homes.
