THIRD GERMAN
RAID ON LONDON
PROVES FAILURE
Fjre of Barrage Guns in Out
skirts of City Heavy
For Hours
London, Feb. 19.—German fliers
took advantage of another clear
moonlight night to attempt to drop
bombs on London. Their attack was
a failure as far as the metropolis
was concerned. Reports from outside
towns haTe not yet been received.
The Are of barrage guns in out
skirts of London was heavy for two
hours.
First reports from outlying parts
of London say the gun defense never
was more effective than Monday
night when it prevented German
aerial raiders from reaching I.*>n
don. The Germans were engaged
, hotly. Eventually the raiders made
off toward the east coast.
Ten German airplanes were
brought down and six more were
disabled by British airmen Sunday,
according to an ofllcial statement 011
aerial activities issued last night.
• Hundreds of bombs have been
dropped on various targets and
Monday British aviators raided
Treves and Thionville.

tures of the meeting will be the;
presence of Lieutenant Frank A. Sut-!
ton, a member of the Royal Engi-j
neers, who will make an address,;
and describe the conditions as he
witnessed them while at the front. ;
Lieutenant Sutton was awarded a
medal for bravery, and was one of
the tirst men to lead hi the attack at
Gallipot!, where he was badly wound-;
ed and also lost a hand in a hand-to
hand conflict with a Turk. He re-;
turned to England and was an eyei
witness to an attack on a Zeppelin.'
and was present when the first mon- j
ster machine was brought down in j
London. He experienced many'
thrilling adventures, and it was with!
great difficulty that the local com-1
mittee secured the services of Lieu-i
tenant Sutton, as he is now busily!
engaged in some important govern
ment work for England in this coun
try.
Pepper to Speak
Another speaker of note who Willi
address the meeting is George Whar- I
ton Pepper, a leading member of the l
Philadelphia liar, and chairman of'
the Committee of Public Safety for!
the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia.
Howard Heinz federal food ad
ministrator for the State of Penn-;
sylvania, has also consented to mak"
an address, and rather than disap
point the people of Harrisburg has
been compelled to cut some other I
engagements. Without a doubt there!
is no man in this Commonwealth who]
is more familiar with the food ques-l
tion than is Mr. Heinz, and part of
his address is included in some as-j
tonishing statistics that will bring;
home to every one the truthfulness
of the statement that food will win'
the war.
Arrangements have been made by
Charles C. Stroh, chairman of the
committee on speakers to have an
olden-time community song festival,
and for that reason everybody who
.'osires to attend this notable event,
is requested to be present promptly

county that every voter opposed to
the saloon will be .at the next pri
maries and help select only candi
dates who definitely commit them
selves for prohibition.
The meeting was called to order
by Dr. Cl&ypool, head of the Anti-
Saloon League, the organization
which will direct the whole cam
paign. This was brought about by
resolutions passed recently by mem
bers of Grace Methodist Church. Af
ter devotional services conducted by
Bishop Stanford, of the United Evan
gelical Church, the conference or
ganized into working shape with the
selection of a committee on resolu
tions, and a permanent chairman,
the Rev. Dr. J. Bradley -Maruuard,
Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The
committee on resolutions include the
Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, the Rev.
Dr. Harvey Klaer, Covenant Pres
byterian Church; the Rev. Dr. H.
W. H. Hanson, Messiah Lutheran,
and the roster will be added to in
a few days.
Draw Up Resolutions
While the committee was closeted,
drawing up a set of resolutions, the
conference listened to a number of
well-known persons active in the
cause, 'the Rev. Dr. George Kdward
Hawes, Market Square Presbyterian;
the Rev. Dr. E. A. Pyles, Fifth Street
Methodist; Mrs. M. M. Steese. coun
ty president of the W. C. T. U.; Dr.
E. B. Prugh, state chairman of the
Prohibition partyH. Hoy, Mil
lersburg, and H. T>. Sausman, Pax
tang. To-night the ratification will
be continued in Grace Methodist
Church where Bishop Darlington will
conduce a brief service preceding
the address by Frank P. Willis, for
mer governor of Ohio. This is sched
uled as a "mass meeting" and every
body is invited.
"This campaign is absolutely in
dependent of politics," explained Dr.
Bagnell as the committee went into
session. "We are determined to
have a solid delegation to the next
Legislature from Dauphin county
which will note for the prohibition
amendment. The men who have
stood by us we stand by; any
candidate who but recently declares
himself must show and pryve his
sincerity. There is to bo n6 politi
cal makeshift. The record of a
candidate's character and career will
be taken into consideration."
Churchmen Enthusiastic
Greatest enthusiasm prevailed at
i the conference, every worker ex
! pressing the belief that at last Dau
| phin county hail welded together a
i machine which will make itself
felt. The plans provide that every
church and every voting precinct
i be individually canvassed to get ac
; tirai facts and be furnished with
j missionary literature. Speakers this
! afternoon pointed out the excess' of
' crime and murder in Harrisburg due
; entirely to liquor, citing among oth
| er tragedies the killing of a white
i man recently by a southern negro,
! now in jail here. Dr. Claypole had
a great number of impressive sta
' tistics showing that wardens in
i counties where booze had been eradi
i cated now have empty jails and
i that penitentiaries 1n similar neigh
j borhoods can no longer furnish men
j enough for contract work.
NEED OF BATHING
FACILITIES CLAIMED

nue for these entertainments.
The lack of bathing facilities is
! commented upon. Last year an ef-
I fort was made to replace the float-
I ing bathhouse at Seneca street, but
j no bids could be obtained, and as a
1 result this part of the playground
system was not opened. While ther?
i.were bathing facilities at Island Park
these could not accommodate the
thousands of residents in the west
end of the city, it is planned if pos
; sible to have a bathhouse construet
i ed this year for use at Seneca street.
Itcport 011 Kinrappingr
In making a report on the rip-
I lapping of the river slopes from Ma-
I clay street to Hamilton street, men
i tion is made of the lack of funds to
j complete the stretch to Calder street,
! but 110 assurance is given that this
will be finished this year. While no
provision was made for the work in
the budget, it is hoped the depart
| ment will find funds available later

I rapped the enire length.

work was done with the remainder
of the funds in the 1913 Improve
ment Ixjan, but the money was not
i sufficient to complete the improve
ment. About 2,100 square yards re-
I main unfinished.
Mention is made of the serious
' damage done during a windstorm
! last September. Twenty-five of the
oldest trees in the park were totally
destroyed ana about 150 had to be
trimmed. To offset this loss scores
of other young trees from the islandi
' nursery were planted along the en-
I tire length of the River Front.
1 Other river park work included
J planting work west of the pumping
' station and construction of a new
roadway at the shore landing of the
McCormick Island ferny.
Paving of the small section of the
.Cameron park roadway passing un-j
I der the Nineteenth street bridge is
: recommended as an effective means
of stopping the washouts which oe-
I cur every time the stream rises.
| Heavy rains last August necessitated
! rebuilding long stretches of the Cam
j eron park road and the parkway
| extension. The ice dam at Paxtang
'attracted hundreds for swimming in

i provide permanent quarters for use

|| Removal of much of the debris at

-1 ments were made, it is reported. A

• Council.
Wildwood I'opular
The popularity of Wildwood Park
is pointed out in the summer for
picnic parties and in the winter for

>! speaking of the attendance, says,
i! "This park would certainly be used
to more advantage during the sum

GOES OVER TOP

Jewish War Fund
Deserves Support
By THE RT. RKV. PHILIP R.
McDKVITT
Disliop of Harrisburg Diocese
The notable success of every
War Fund campaign in Harris
lurg has befcn due largely to
the conviction among all classes
of citizens that the purposes of
each movement were wholly un
selfish and patriotic.
The Jewish War Relief and
Welfare Work, having the same
cogent reasons for the support
cf the public as the Y. M. C. A.
and the Knights of Columbus, has
a right to expect the same un
qualified and generous assistance
which was accorded those two or
ganizations in their War Fund
campaigns.
in less time than the su 111.3 could ue

Within an hour aftar Cie meeting
had begun the fund had gone "over
the top" by a wide margin.
Cnnvnna the City
Team workers to-day are canvass
ing the city, as only 180 of the t=so
Jewish families in the city and
Steelton were represented. The woik
will continue for three days and the
team captains are confident that the
city has set for it a new record for
patriotic service. The campaign is
not closed to persons of other faiths,
94,000 having already been .qnt'-lb
\Med by non-Jewish men cf the city
Dr. Nathan ICrass, speaker of the
evening, made an eloquent appeal
for the suffering thousands of Eu
rope. He told of the 100,000 .lews in
the American Army and the work
that is to be done for them in the
camps. Dr. Krass was Introduced IU
the meeting by Rabbi Louts J. Haas,
of Ohev Sholom Temple. Rabbi Ru
manoff delivered an address !n He
brew and English.
Praises Liberality
Dr. Krass praised the liberality
that moved Harrisburg Jews to come
to the aid of the Y. M. C. A. and the
K. of C. drives and declared that
Harrisburg newspapers have done
more than publications in other
cities to arouse interest in such war
work.
"We are all essentially American."
said Dr. Krass. "Nothing that is
American is foreign to the Jews.
The Jew of America is a member j
of a great family of 15,000,000 other!
Jews, but the allegiance lie owes
that family does not affect his loy
alty to America."
"The Jew," said Dr.* Krass, "is;
the barometer of civilization. To:
the extent that a nation oppresses or
does not oppress the Jew is reck
oned its civilization. That nation :
which most oppresses the Jew is the
least civilised; and America possesses
ih>; greatest civilization because its!
pressure is not directed against the
Jew, but for him.
Going Right Alicad
"We are going right on with our
campaign," said David Kaufman
this morning. "Suffering among our
co-religionists in Lithuania, Russia, {
Poland and Palestine is so great—
and so great is the need for welfare
work in the United States Army
Training campsi that no matter how
much we raise it will not be too
much to send."
William Jennings, chairman of the ;
committee which worked among
non-Jewish residents of Harrisburg,
announced last evening that he had
secured $4,000. This announcement
was greeted with great applause.
There were several SI,OOO contribu
tions, a number at SSOO and a flood
of S2OO ones. But the large sum
raised represents contributions from
only a fourth of the Jewish families
of Harrisburg.
Chairman David Kaufman of the
executive committee has appointed
the following teams.
Team No. I— Leon Lowengard,
car-tain; Dr. Garfinkle, Herman
Tausig, Rabbi Rumanoff, Lee Gold
smith and Harry Rubin.
Tfam No. 2—Joseph Goldsmith,
captain; Wolf Friedman, Samuel
Kef/man, Harry Lowengard, Louis
Baum anh Joseph Claster.
Team No. 3—Samuel Fishman,
Hope company, is probably the best
known, as years ago he was used to
pull the police patrol and ambu
lance. At present he is at Island
Park.
Children Learn to Sew
Miss Hatton, in her report on
sewing classes, estimates the aver
age cost of instruction for each les
'son at four cents per capital. Prizes
wore offered for good work and cer
tificates were issued to girls present
at every lesson. Some of the work
of the girls was turned over to the
Ked Cross. Miss Bender's report of
the domestic science classes is
largely a review of each lesson, end
ing with a report of the dinner
served to city officials late last Au

Martial Law Declared
At Bobruisk, the Pole's, it is an

and ordered the population to give

curred at Gloubok station, where the
population fled.
The Bolsheviki claim to have oc

defeated the Ukrainians in the Don
basin.
The official agency announces that
by order of the revolutionary com

"given back to the workers."
A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd
reports that the Bolsheviki revolu
tionary tribunal arrested M. Pantast.
chief of the Rumanian mission to the
Bolsheviki lines, and three Ruman
ian miiltary agents. The members
of the Rumanian senate who were
living in Odessa attempted flight,
but were detained. It is proposed by
the revolutionaries to confiscate Ru
manian property.
Reuter's correspondent also re
ports that a sleigh carrying the Ital

bandits who robbed the ambassador
of his fur coat, his pockelbook and
other valuables.
Germany to Attack Russia;
Forces Have Crossed Dvina
and Advance Eastward
Ry .Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 19.—Germany
| has returned to the attack on the
; Russian front and the Bolsheviki
government must face its greatest
! test—the power of German militar-
I ism. Invading forces have crossed
| the Dvina at Dvinslc and are ad
l vanclng eastward from Kovel, Vol
hynia, to aid the hard-pressed
Ukrainians and protect the food
supplies in the new country. This is
the first military activity on these
fronts since last November.
What opposition the Bolsheviki
cp.ll or will offer the Germans is
problematical. Although the Rus
sian army has been much weakened
by the demobilization order and
strife in the ranks the Bolsheviki
Red Guards have been successful
against the Ukrainians and other
opposing forces in Southern Russia.
A week ago. delayed dispatches
from Petrograd say. the Bolsheviki
leaders were doubtful if Germany
would attack and apparently had no
| intention to fight the invaders. The
; food shortage in Great Russia is be
coming desperate.
Ukraine Situation Serious
The situation in the Ukraine is
serious which may account for Ger
many's decision to act. Bolshevik!
troops hold Kiev, the capital, where
4,000 persons were killed and 7,000
injured in several days of heavy
fighting and Bolsheviki adherents
are destroying railroads and food
supplies. In Odessa ,also there has
been fighting.

GROCERY STORE CLOSED
FOR SELLING FLOUR
[Continued from First Page.]
Therefore, there is no miller at the
present time equipped for its manu
facture. But the demand for it will
be answered in the near future by a
product that will conform to govern
ment regulations, and eliminate the
necessity of buying wheat Hour only
in equal quantities with a cereal sub
j stitute. In a few cases, consumers
nave tried to evade the ruling of
selling other cereals with wheat bv
exchanging their substitutes after
they have been purchased, and pro
curing instead other articles of gro
ceries.
Flour substitutes purchased by
consumers with wheat flour are not
returnable for other commodities
according to the ruling made by
Mr. MeCormick this morning. Re-
I tail grocers will be held responsible
for accepting any such exchanges.
lietail grocers pointed out this
I morning that tfiey have not been
I allowing such exchanges, owing to
| tlie fact that they could not despose
of tlieir surplus substitutes to whole
. salers. The retail grocers of the
city have accepted the Hour ruling
and are making the best of the situa
tion. They say that the consumers
are also becoming more adapted to
tlie ruling.
Bakers in the city this morning
were mixing from 15 to 20 per cent,
of substitute with their wheat flour,
and by the end of the week all the
bakers will be selling the full 20
per cent. -Yivtory Bread.
Bricker's bread is made with 15
! Per cent, of oatmeal. Mr. Bricker
I declared his bread is as good as it
I was before the substitution, except!
possible in appearance. The oat
meal, he declares, causes brown
specks in his. bread, which does not
| Impair its flavor. He has been nn
j able to secure corn Hour, which will
I be used as soon as a supply arrives.
The Standard Baking Company's
| bread baked this morning had the
j full 20 per cent, mixture of substi
i tute. The substitute used is corn
| flour, which does not alter the taste
or the appearance of the bread, the
j bakers say.

CHURCHMEN PLEASED

the fund will be completed. Work
ers at noon were much pleased with
the Buccess of the reception they
were given throughout the city.
While the work of the Lutheran)
team workers was of a quiet sort,
nevertheless the effort was earnest
and brought in results. Each captain
was pleased with the reception ten
dered his men and there was plenty
of optimism that Harrisburg's Luth
erans would reach their goal, al
though it was recognized that it
would mean plenty of hard work.
The Lutherans are conducting this
campaign with no outside help, al
though the number of soldiers from
that denomination in service now
number nearly 200,000, and to main
tain their welfare will require some
handsome contributions. "Every
Lutheran is expected to give accord
ing to his means," Mr. Dapp ob
served. "It seems to me that in all
the drives conducted in this city and
county since the outbreak of the war
that the men and women with
money have been trying to saddle
the burdens on the backs of the peo
ple of. limited means. I believe that
the people who have money should
open wide their purse strings in this
campaign. It has been proved more
than once that the man of aver
age means is ever willing to do his
bit."
BEGIN Oil SALTS
AT FIRST SIGN
OF KIDNEY PI
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, then the

irritation.
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys. they become overworked: get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps
of lead. The urine becomes cloudy;
the bladder is irritated, and you may
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste or
you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom
ach gets sour, tongue coated and
i you feel rheumatic twinges when the
i weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water:
| also get from any pharmacist four
; ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
i spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa.
mous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithla, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal ac
tivity, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, BO it no longer is a source of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
