Feb. 14. —Will H. ! Hays is the youngest chairman in the history of the Republican party. ; He is only 38, but has been aqtive in politics since lie became a voter. ; when he was elected a precinct com -1 initteeman in Sullivan. His political ' education "has been from the ground i up." He was chairman of the Sul | livan county committee from 19i>4 to I 1908. During that time he was also a member of the advisory committee I of the Republican organization. Hays began his career in state pol itics in 1906, when Governor Good rich, then state chairman, appointed j him chairman of the speakers' bu reau. He was at the head of the speakers' bureau in 1908. He became , a member of the State Committee • ' from the Second district in 1912 and was re-elected in 1914. He became i Republican state chairman February ,! 12, 1914, taking charge of the party when it was in third place. He was \ re-elected chairman in 1916 and is j 1 still at the head of the organization , | in Indiana. His determination from his first | , election to treat all Republicans on ■ ' an equal basis attracted attention of party leaders throughout the coun -1 try to him and was a large factor in 1 his behalf as a candidate for the ; national chairmanship, j Hays was graduated from Wabash ' ' College in 1900 with a degree of B. ,l A. In 1914 he received a degree of IM. A. from Wabash. He was admit ' I ted to the bar when he was 21 and " I since then has practiced in Sullivan.

Traces Business Methods Back to Biblical Times "We can trace business methods back to Biblical times." declared Charles Beckley, of the Beckley Business School, who addressed the weekly luncheon * of the Kiwanis Club at the Elks clubhouse at noon to-day. "For instance, there was Noah, who "floated the first limited stock company." Buckley gave an interesting address, in which he told many things worth much to the average business man. Homer Moyer explained many phases of the ad vertising game in popular language. Captain George F. Lumb, president of the Harrisburg Rotary Club, brought greetings from his organ ization, and addressed the Kiwanis Clubmembers on the psychology of salesmanship. His address was re- plete with practical information and facts about salesmanship. "Do we want him back?" inquired President F. G. Fahnestoek Jr. "Yes." chor used every member of the club. "Give your customer something more than mere goods; be human." was the trend of Captain Lumb's talk. "It is sometimes ebtter to make a friend than a profit," he de clared. Frank Downey, of the Gately and Fitzgerald Supply Company, pre sented a Victrola record cleaner to I each member of the club and each j guest present. Paul Furman, of the j Sterling Auto Tire Company, dis- I tributeil ten-cent cigars to everyone j who came his way. "It's a girl!" j he shouted to everyone who would j pause to listen. Great interest is being manifested j by- businessmen throughout the city! in the KiVanis Club. Many new i members have been received and j more are corhing in every week. | Prospects are that there will be a! long waiting list in many of the | professions represented. ICE TO MOVE OFF WITHIN 48 HOURS i [Continued from First Paso.] Susquehanna to carry the ice out. A stage of about seven feet is expect- ! ed here to-morrow, which will in- j crease to more than twelve feet ; when the ice passes out. The main river and both its branches will not I generally reach a flood stage when ; the ice breaks. The flood stage at ! Harrisburg is seventeen feet. The ice in the West Branch broke above Lock Haven last night and gorged near Lock Haven. In the j Xorth Branch the ice broke at To- : wanda. where the water reached a tifteen-foot stage. The ice in the North Branch was still intact at Wilkes-Barre this morning. Tt will break some time to-day. Mr. Demain says, reaching a fifteen-foot stage when it goes out. The only trouble reported on the Susquehanna river system was in the Wyoming Valley lowlands, which are flooded. Gorging ice has caused lo cal trouble in lowlands adjacent to the river on both its branches. This trouble will probably occur in places along the main stream when the ice moves. Following the warm spell of to night and to-morrow, a cold snap is expected, bringing a temperature of about twenty degrees to-morrow night.

BONE-DRY STATE IS AIM OF WORKERS i [Continued'from I'irst Page.] I who discussed the possible action of i I the convention before the sessions j j began, but nobody appeared able to forecast precisely just what form the j I resolutions would take. But the cry "Make Pennsylvania j | Dry" was heard from every speaker j land the sentiment was so contagious I | that it might have unnerved the j I heartiest opponent of national pro-j ' hibition had he been present. Dis- I tinguished men of the ministry and j I the legal profession lashed the I I liquor business to shreds and wal- i J loped poor old Demon Rum all j a.-ound the stage of the big audi- j torium. Friends of J. Denny O'Neil, Re publican candidate for Governor, ; predicted that he would be given a 1 big ovation when he appears as a I speaker this evening and some went ; so far as to say that the resolutions I might name him as the Federation's j choice for Governor, although other ! and more conservative delegates | said the time for endorsement was j not ripe, for the reason that they felt !it unfair to endorse one candidate ] j before the organization knows how j the other candidates who have not | definitely announced themselves may j ■ stand on the liquor question. Must Attend Primaries ; Judge William E. Porter, of New ! Castle, presiding, took "dry" voters ; to task for not attending the ! primaries and said that if the state i is dominated by bosses of men not j to their liking the fault is largerly theirs. I The Rev. Dr. Charles Scanlon, of j the Presbyterian Board of Temper- ! j ance. was so eloquent and emphatic j that he stirred the big audience to I cheers and shouts of "Make Penn-i ! sylvania Dry." He compared the j ; liquor traffic to dueling and slavery J i and predicted that the day would j | soon be here when whisky will be ! las scarce as a slave. He portrayed the liquor seller in abhorrent colors. I relating an experience of Neal Dow ! in Maine where that famous prohi i bitionist tried to dissuade a saloon | keeper from selling whisky to a j man who was ruining his whole ' I family. "I have the license to sell," 1 ! was the plea, "and I will sell to any' i one that wants to buy, drunk or so- I | ber." As Dr. Scanlon called off the j ' states and nations which have eliin- | I inated "booze" the audience rose I I spontaneously and cheered the roll- j Icall to an echo. He finished by re-I j ferring to a letter from far Alaska, ■j now under prohibition, in which the 1 j writer offered to send missionaries J frotn that clime to benighted Penn sylvania. W . C. T. I.

Block, of Cam i liria county, related how this organ ization is working on Americanizing J the foreigner so that his vote will j not be controlled by the liquor deal- I er. The regular program was set i aside a short while at this point for expressions of condolence to the family or Judge Seibert, who died j last week. ! The report of the superintendent, ■ the Rev.

' The Jewish boarcl for welfare j ' work has organized with the ap i proval of the Secretary of War for • the purpose of doing among ■ 60 000 Jews in the Army and Navy . the same kind of work as is done c among protestants by the Y.

I Camp Secretaries I I There are eighty-three camps or I stations in the United States, sixteen t \ national Army cantonments, sixteen ~' National Guard camps, twelve olli ' cers training camps, one canton ment at embarkation point. In ad dition to this there are the men abroad in whose behalf co-operation ' has been secured from the Jews of 5 France through the Alliance Israel " ite Universelle. At perhaps all of 1 the camps it will be necessary for • the board to supply camp secretar " ies who are competent to look after • the needs of each individual Jew • ish soldier as these needs arise.

GUNNERS AT A NEW SECTOR j \ [Continued from First I'agc.] j to the public that American troops were stationed at any point along the line other than in the French I.iorraine sector they are liolflinK an indeterminate stretch east of St. Mihiel. The assumption is that the American artillerymen mentioned are part o£ the numbers undergoing instruction by the French before taking up the task of supporting their own infantry. The Rutte Du Mesnil, near which the raid was carried out, lies in the area in which the great French of fensive of 1915 took place. It is some two miles northeast of the town of Ije Mesnil-Lez-Hurlus and slightly less than that distance Southeast of Tahure. Berlin's official report to-day con cedes a French success in the raid near that place, admitting that a footing was secured by Petain's troops in a salient of the German positions. Paris announces the tak ing of more than 150 prisoners in the operation, which was carried out on a front of about two-thirds i of a miie. and reports the positions . taken have been organized.
