CHANGES IN LIFE
AND BUSINESS
George M. Graham Predicts
Big Things in Commercial
Affairs After the War
Carlisle, Pa.. Feb. 23.—Speaking
before the Carlisle Chamber of Com
merce at a special Washington's
Birthday war meeting yesterday,
George M. Graham, former Phila
delphia sports editor and later head
of the Tri-State League, now connect
ed with a big automobile company
and 'it present chairman of the mo
tor transportation committee, allied j
with the Council of National De-'
fense, outlined the sweeping changes
in life and business which he pre
dicts will come from the war.
The gathering was attended by
over 100 local businessmen with
many visitors, lie declared that big
business after the war will be broad
er than ever before: that the public
will share to a fuller extent in its
profits, and that business after the
coming, of peace will reach a point
of development now undreamed of
l>y Americans. He spoke of the
sacrifices that have been made by
business, predicting that they are
but the beginning of greater sacri
fices to come, and urged all business
men to give freely—to give their all
it" necessary—to help win the war
against German autocracy.
In his opinion the greatest words
spoken since Lincoln's address at
Gettysburg were Wilson's phrases to
• 'ongress—"Make the world safe for
Democracy." He plead for an Amer
ican citizenship that Wiould be
broad-minded enough to be fair to
other nations and to realize that i
this country has outgrown its in- 1
sular position.

SATURDAY EVENING,
FIREMEN SENT
FALSE ALARMS
Seven Members of Carlisle
Company Implicated in Re
cent Unnecessary Calls
Carlisle. Pa., Feb. 23.—Warrants
were expected to be served late this
afternoon on three other members
of the Friendship Fire Company,
charged with being implicated with
others in the series of false alarms
which has nearly disrupted the local
department.
At a hearing held here yesterday
afternoon, three of the men who
• previously confessed were held for
court under heavy bail. In their
[testimony they involved several
| others as being connected with the
i plan. In all seven men were involved,
j the sending being carefully planned
| and the crowd agreeing to pay the
| expenses of any man who was caught
the opinion being that he would es
cape with a fine.
The hearing attracted much atten
tion and a number of spectators. The
borough council is expected to move
for a change in the personnel of the
company at an earlv date.
PROHIBITION IS
GIVEN ENDORSEMENT
[Continued from First Page.]
| the committee, but it was unanimous
! ly voted to make the action stand
I out from all others.
The Trouble
The convention opened at 9 o'clock
this morning with a rousing song
service led by Charles M. Alexander.
Dr. W. W. White spoke on the sub
ject. "The Foe Against Which Jeru
salem 'Stands: Her Personnel. Her
Character, Her Policy, Her Fate."
"The Kaiser is the Babylon mention
ed in the Bible," he stated. "Calvary
is everything that is good and sim
ple; Babylon is that which is evil."
'Tan you conceive a combination
worse than bad statesmanship and
bad religion? That's what is the mat
ter with the world to-day," tie con
tinued.
F. J. Nichols followed, with a
strong plea for funds for missions.
He urged using the last dollar for
ministry to the whole world, "so we
can make democracy safe for the
whole world." Mr. McLachlin, gen
eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at
Foo Chow, China, spoke on the sub
ject at a luncheon which followed
the convention.
An inspiring address by Dr. Peter
Roberts, of the industrial department
of the International Y. M. C. A., was
next on the program. "We must
make munitions and ships. Everyone
must help in the work from morning
to night. My wife is willing to wear
a calico dress, and 1 am willing to
do without luxuries. Everyone should
do the same. Then the men and skill
ed workers who work in luxury fac
tories, will be able to build more
ships and make more munitions for
the boys in the trenches. If this
doesn't help, I think there will be a
draft of working men." In these
words, he emphasized the patriotic
duty of every American worker. Last
year there were 30,000 shipbuilders
in the United States; now we are
calling for a half million builders.
Dr. Roberts told of conditions in the
various shipbuilding plants, showing
that, in these "mushroom cities,"
there are no conveniences of any
kind and that the managers wanted
the maximum amount of work from
the men living in the worst condi
tions. Nearly sixty per cent, of the
workers in the Hog Island shipyards
are foreigners, according to his state
ments.
Pounding Into Hearts
"The world is pounding into the
hearts of humanity as never before
the idea of the dignity of the na
tions of the world. The cannons of'
Europe are welding together the na
tions of the earth as they have never
before been welded together under
peace conditions," he said, advocat
ing a campaign to have all men citi
zens of this country. He urged that
a campaign be opened to naturalize
the foreign-born workers. "This war
is going to change the views of
thousands upon the question of citi
zenship. We want solidarity in the
nation, and in the industries."
"We must get a baptism of the
spirit on the industrial workers of
the world if we are to win this war.
We want a greater appreciation of
moral values.
"The Germany we are fighting is
the Germany of Nietzsche and Bis
marck: not the Germany of Goethe
and Kant and Hegel. The Germany
of Goethe, we want to liberate; the
other Germany we want to throw
overboard. Sympathy for the fel
lowman is being blunted by the
atrocities of war. We must teach our
fellow men that the love of God is
always with us."
Following Dr. Robert's address, a
business session of the convention
was held. A motion to increase the
budget of the state committee from
$33,000 to $40,000 was overruled,
but it was stated that contributions
in excess of the original budget
would be received. The report of the
executive committee was adopted.
Resolutions of appreciation to the
various helpers, speakers, to Mr.
Alexander and his party, and to the
members, trustees and pastor of 'the
host church wore adopted, arid It
■ was recommended that the develop
'ment of leaders for group Bible
study classes be considered. An edi
torial from the Harrisburg Tele
graph on "The T. M. C. A.'s Oppor
tunity," was read and discussed.
High praise was given to this news
paper for its support of the associa
tion and all of its principles. Reso
lutions were passed taking a stand
for the state's ratification of the pro
hibition amendment to the national
constitution.
The closing address was given by
Dr. John McDowell, of Baltimore,
who appeared in the uniform of a
IY. M. C. A. chaplain in the army.
He spoke 011 "The Challenge." en
dorsing the Telegraph for its stand,
and its publisher for his Christian
work, saying that he was "an honor
to the community." "I believe in the
Telegraph, and in the men back of
it," he continued. Dr. Koberts was
formerly pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church. Steelton. Tie is
well known to hundreds of Harris
burgers, and many of his old friends
came to the church- especially to
hear him.
Pleading for America's awakening.
Bishop Luther B. Wilson at last
evening's session of the Y. M. C. A.
Jubilee convention urged that Amer
icans bestir themselves and rise to
the tasks' which confront them.
Bishop Wilson spent a long time in
France among the soldiers, and in
America, visiting the camps. His
first-hand knowledge of conditions
among the boys in the trenches was
displayed In his eloquent address.
"Men and women of America, in the
name of God and in the name of
humanity. bestir yourselves," ho
died. "When the procession of
service comes along, fall in and for
ward march!" In France, the Star
Spangled Banner is given a promi
nent place in cathedrals and on all
towers. People love it and long for
the time when its representatives
st all overthrow the despot's
In traveling to France it is im
possible to travel a mile without be
ing reminded that the world is at
war. The Bishop's subject was "The
• Church, the Red Triangle and Our
Soldiers." He told of his departure
for France and of visiting the Y. M.
C. A. huts. He met General Persh
ing and asked him to send a message
to the American people. "The gen
eral turned those brilliant eyes on
nie and said: 'Tell America that it
is heresy to declare Germany cannot
be beaten. Germany can be beaten.
Germany must be beaten. Germany
will be beaten.' Shall all George
Washington did go for naught?
Shall all Abraham Lincoln did go for
naught? Shall millions have died in
vain" he asked his audience. He
stated in clear terms what America
does not know what the war means,
and that she is not yet awakened to
the immensity and importance of it.
Tell* of Forclßii Work
List night's session of the con
vention opened with a stirring song
service, led by Charles M. Alexander.
Georg" -V. Warburton, general sec
retary of the Toronto Y. M. C. A.,
addressed the convention on "Asso
ciation Foreign Missions." He told
of the progressi veness of Oriental
nations and predicted for Japan a
position of great importance in the
commercial world within the next
twenty-five years. The Rutherford
Y. M. C. A. Glee Club sang, and
Bishop Wilson was introduced.
A number of addresses, replete
with invaluable information and in
spiration, were given by several
Canadians at the afternoon session.
Conditions in Canada were graphic
ally pictured, and it was urged that
America and Canada aHke * keep the
home fires burning." The work was
discussed under the general topic,
"Recruiting Men and Boys in War
time." J. H. Tory, Toronto, spoke on
"Men." R. C. Dingman, chairman of
boys' work for the National Council
pf Canada, spoke of the work among
boys, and George A. Warburton, gen
eral secretary of the Toronto Y. M.
C. A., discussed the subtopic.
"Workers."

Borrows a "Father"
in Seeking License

girl and a marriage license, all in
one day. Recently he applied to
the district court clerk for a mar

Alliance an Unpatriotic
Organization, Ohlinger
Tells Senate Committee
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 23.—Hearings
were begun to-day in the Senate Ju
-1 dlciary Committee on the bill by
Senator King, of Utah, to revoke the
j charter of the German-American
Alliance.
Those supporting the bill were
heard first. Representatives of the
Alliance were ready to testify and
declared they would denounce the
charge that the organization was
| disloyal.
Gustavus Ohlinger, a Toledo, Ohio,
lawyer, denounced the German-
American Alliance as an unpatriotic
organization, the object of which
was to establish the doctrine of pan-
I Germanism in the United States as
t has been done in Austria.
The entrance of the United States
into the war put a stop to the ac
tivities of the alliance in this coun
try. Ohlinger said. The bylaws of the
alliance belie its real purposes, he
contended, and a consistent cam
paign had been conducted every
where in th|e United States to teach
German in the public schools.
Court Asked to Prevent
Aldermen From Sending
Coal Cases Into Court
To prevent Alderman Hilton from
returning two cases to court charging
! him with giving short wejght In coal
deliveries G. Frank Millelsen, through
j his attorney. Paul A. Kunkel, to-dav
I filed a petition with the court asking
1 for a preliminary injunction against
; the magistrate to compel him to hold
1 the record open. Alderman Hilton, It
was said in the petition, has held the
defendant under SIOO bail in each
case for court.
Mr. Kunkel in bringing the equity
suit stated to the court it was an
unusual procedure to foljow in a so
called criminal case, but declared the
testimony In the suits served as an
indication that there was no violation
of law, but If anything a breach of
contract.
The court at first intimated the
application wouid not be considered
at the time, but. finally took the pe
tition under advisement, and sug
gested to Mr. Kunkel that he might
have instituted habeas corpus pro.
ceedings to ge the record before the
court.
Assistant District Attorney Frank
B. Wickersham was present at the
time and when asked by the court for
his opinion of the injunction petltlori
, declared the court sitting In equity
had no Jurisdiction and that the en
' tire proceedings should come up at
! the regular quarter sessions court
' next month.
t Milleisen Is charged by Harry D.
r Reel, city inspector of weights and
measures, with furnishing only 500
pounds on one rrder, and 544 pounds
on another order for one-half ton of
3 coal. . The dealer's defense is that
I an error was made at the yards in
- weighing the coal, and that he has
, made efforts to furnish the additional
amount to the purchasers.

Army and Navy Associations
Are World's Biggest
Exhibitors
* ——
"Movies to-riightv" cautiously
queries the American counterpart of]
"Files on Parade" to the high pri-!
vate at his elbow.
Movies to-night?" Jack eagerly j
asks as he gets his three day leave i
after safely completing his last jaunti
to France.
"Movies to-night?" is the stock '
Inquiry in every Y. M. C. A. huild- I
ing.
"Movies to-night!" aflirni hun- j
ureds of Army and Navy Y. M. C.
A. secretaries from Portland. Maine. ;
to San Diego. California, and from :
\ ancouver, Washington, to Key i
West, Florida.
Good!" is the satisfied comment !
of tens of thousands of Sammies and
Jackies and Marines all over the
length and breadth of the land.
Jt is pretty much as an old timer, j
one of these picturesque military
institutions, the Regular Army drill
sergeant put it: "Soldierin' ain't i
what it used to be. With Ihe inocu- :
latin' and the vaccinatin and the
paradin' there ain't nothing to get
sick or grochy about, and you ain't i
really got any kick comin.' But if ]
you think you' have, there's always i
the "Y movies to go to, and there I
you forget all about it."
The doughty old soldier was right; \
soldiering is not what it used to be. '
No constructive provision was made '
for the old-timer's hours of leisure.
„The odds then were all in favor of
the ever-be-setting influences that
degrade.
Now all that is changed. Wher
ever he goes, the soldier and the !
sailor finds the Red Triangle at I
hand to minister his social, recrea- j
tional, and religious needs and to i
stimulate the mental side of life in >
war time.
There is its hundreds of huts and
tents, its thousands of secretaries, its
athletic acitivities, its entertain
ments and "stunts." its educational
classes in English and French and
the entire long list of modern aca
demic courses, its voluntary relig
ious meetings, its "sings"—and last
but by no means least, its movies.
In the Eastern Department at
present more than 950 movie pro
grams are given monthly in sixty
seven camps and naval stations in
these six states. Over 150 moving
picture machines are used, including
both fixed and portable types.
The Eastern Department is now
running 5,241,500 feet of film month
ly for the entertainment of our
boys in khaki and blue. That is each
month the Y. M. C. A. will show in
its 120 odd buildings in this depart
ment the equivalent of a film more
than 954.8 miles long.
From the New York City office
of the Community Motion Picture
Bureau, which is the selecting and
distributing agent for practically all
the films shown by the Y. M. C. A.,
betwen four and five million feet of
film is the total recorded weekly as
being distributed through its eight
offices. When the full quota of Army
"Y" buildings called for are in oper
ation, seven and a half million feet
of film will be required weekly.
If one man were to watch a pic
ture the aggregate length of time
that qll the soldiers and sailors in
the country watch the movies every
two weeks, that man will still have
a century to sit and watch, assuming
that he first sat down before the
screen at the beginning of the Chris
tian era and had remained there
eight a day, six days a week
ever since.
With the American expeditionary
forces, too, the Red Triangle movies
are shown, secured "over there"
mostly from European producers,
many is the dull hour, the home
sick heart and the disconsolate
"Sammie" that is relieved by the
click, click of the projector's crank
and the alluring magic of the screen.
The Army and Navy Y. M. C. A.,
through the Community Motion Pic
ture Bureau, is now showing more
f,lm at more places every night than
any other one agency; it is the big
gest moving picture exhibitor in the
world to-day, and all of its shows
are free to our soldiers and sailors.
