10 MINE DELEGATES HOLD CONFERENCE WITH MR. HEINZ Get Inside Facts on Food Sit uation and Go Back to Loy ally Support Government Representatives of the Mine Work ers' Union called upon Howard Hetnz, food administrator, to find out from him the necessity of the new flour and bread orders put into ef fect by the government and went home to-day thoroughly convinced that the measures are necessary and loyally determined to see that they are not shirked in the upper end of Dauphin county. James Kelly, of Lykens and Wlc onisco Local No. 1062, said: "The miner needs good food to keep him I in proper working condition, due to the gases and the pressures under which he works. We laid these mat ters before Mr. Heinz and asked for facts concerning the situation. He was very frank with us and gave us much inside information. We visited a bakery and tasted the new Victory bread. It looks good to us. If that is what the wheat substi tutes mean we have no complaint." The delegates represented Wil liamstown Local No. 1550 as well, and come from a part of the county that is patriotic to the core. Not only has it sent more than its quota of men to the front, but the miners each gave one day's wages to the Red Cross and they have gone "over the top" in every war service campaign since hostilities started. Also, to keep up the coal supply, the miners have been working holi days. They felt they were entitled to the full truth concerning the food situation, and they are satisfied that they got it. In order to let them see how every business is being af fected the delegates were present at the restaurant keepers' meeting yesterday and got an idea of the manner In which they are laboring to meet the situation. After the meeting Mr. Heinz ex- , pressed himself as highly pleased t with the attitude of the visitors who gave him the Impression that they are trying loyally to do whatever | may be necessary to help win the : The delegates included: John ' Mates, secretary; Frank Shadel. and Robert Davis, of Williamstown Local No. 1550, and John SchafTstall. | Jerome Cooper and James Kelly, of ; Lykens and Wiconisco Ix>cal No. . 1062. In all they represented about 2.000 miners in the upper end of Dauphin county. They will make re ports to their locals upon their re turn. The committee to-day called on the County Commissioners and ask ed that Dauphin county endorse the mothers' pension plan offered by the state.

EVERY MEMBER ASKED FOR PLACE IN RAID ON HUNS Only 26 Could Be Used After Entire Battalion Had Volunteered With the American Army in France, Monday, Feb. 25.—Details of the Franco-American raid in the Chemin-des-Dames Saturday show twenty-six picked American soldiers participated after every member of their battalion had volunteered. The Americans moved forward eagerly to the attack behind a bar rage fire, the first time this has been done by our troops. Some of the Americans made captures and others chased Prussian troops through the trenches* going beyond the objectives sought. Rehearsals for the raid were held the day before. The barrage fire be gan at 5.30 o'clock in the morning and continued until 6.35. The Americans among the 100 in the attacking party -.vere surprised at the precision with which the French shells fell and went a little faster than they should have and were within thirty yards of the dropping shells when they reached the enemy lines. Relief had just been completed in the German trenches and officers were making the rounds. The Germans took shel ter in a dugout roofed with rails and sandbags. A French shell made a direct hit and the enemy scattered about the trench. At the same mo ment the Americans and French jumped in. There was some hand-to-hand fighting but the entire enemy party at this point was captured. The raiders forced the enemy out of other shelters and communicating trenches. The raiders and prisoners started back across No Man's Land on schedule time, but were caught in a German counter-barrage. One en emy shell wounded five Germans and six Frenchmen but no Ameri cans. The prisoners were from 16 to 4 0 years old. All apparently were undernourished. Scoutmasters to Learn First Aid For Injured Under the joint, auspices of the Ilarrisburg Chapter. American Red Cross, and the Central Y. M. C. A., a first-aid for scoutmasters and assist ant scoutmasters is being formed. A number of men have already ex pressed their desire to join the class. A meeting will be called in the im mediate future, when the matter-will be fully discussed. The plan has the approval and endorsement of J. H. Ptine, scout executive for the city. Prominent and capable physicians will be in charge of the class. Letters expressing approval an.l ■warm commendation, of the Central Y. M. C. A.'s classes in first aid for drafted men. have been received by local men in charge of the course, from Lieutenant Colonel C. H. Connor, Assistant Director General of the De partment of Military Relief, American Relief. Information on either of these classes can be secured from C. W. Miller, physical director of the Cen tral Y. M. C. A. ASH PROBLEM BEFORE COUNCILMANIC SESSION [Continued from First Page.] streets and alleys we have put some extra teams on to-day to remove the ashes and refuse that we could not get to heretofore on account of the snow and ice. If weather conditions continue the same for the next few days we expect to have things in good shape." Some of the members intimated they may object to letting a contract because of the high bids which have been received again. They said they would favor monthly clean-ups, how ever, but would award a contract for regular collections if they could bei assured the city's revenues would be large enough during the year to pay the $20,000 in addition to the $40,000 which has been appropriat ed. Increased Water Rates In this connection a discussion re sulted on the early passage of a wa ter rate ordinance increasing the charges. This is expected to pro vide most of the money for the gen eral fund to replace expenditures made on the ash contract if one is awarded. It is likely definite action on the water rate ordinance will be taken next week. Other action by Council included approving the contract and bond for furnishing oil and gasoline for the highway, park and fire depart ments: ordinances introduced on first reading: by Commissioner Gross, authorizing, purchase of triple grass cutter for city parks; by Commis sioner Hassler, authorizing purchase of 4,000 tons of river coal; provid ing for repairs to sanitary pumping engine, SSOO to be appropriated for the work; transferring $5,000 from the water general reserve fund to pay for installation of electric pump.

BIG U.S. GUNS ROAR ON TWO WAR FRONTS Cannon of Heaviest .Type Are Sent Abroad to Batter Germans Washington, Feb. 26. —American- built ordnance of the latest type and heaviest caliber—ten-Inch, twelve inch and fourteen-incli rifles—are in service on the sector of the western front held by the American Army and on the Italian front, it was learned to-day at the War Depart ment. The general belief has been that very few American heavy guns v/ere in Europe. The guns sent to Italy include a number of fourteen-inch rifles, both of forty-five and fifty caliber. The former was considered the most pow erful naval weapon In existence until the commissioning if the British bat tleships of the Queen Elizabeth class with fifteen-inch guns. American experts still believe that the four teen-inch, fifty caliber rifle is hardeV biftlng and more accurate even than the larger British weapon. Reports from Italy say the results achieved by the heavy American ord nance already has elicited expression of admiration from the Italian gun ners. In addition to heavy naval ord nance, General Pershing has received a number of reserve twelve-Inch rifles designed originally for instal lation in the coast defenses of the United States. When this country entered the war there were a sub stantial number of these guns In American arsenals, but the chances of their being needed here were deemed so small that the War De partment did not hesitate to ship them abroad. Mounted on specially designed carriages, they are now lo cated along the American sector. BOLSHEVIKI DIG BEFORE GERMANS [Continued from First Pne.] Petrograd. A general mobilization of the workingmen and working women who are supporting the councils was ordered everybody be ing directed to report to the Smolyn Institute, the Bolshevik headquar ters. Motor cars were requisitioned and the tramcars were kept running all night filled with soldiers and members of the Red Guard who were dispatched to the various railway stations. There are varying reports of what happened at Pskov when the Ger mans entered the lty. One account has it that a small German detach ment entered Pskov and subse quently retired: another reports that a German armored train came from Ostrov, which had been previously occupied while a third speaks of street fighting. Regarding Ostrov it is stated an armored airplane acted as a scout for the German cavalry advancing along the railway. When the air plane hovering over Ostrov signaled evacuation had been begun the cavalry rushed up at full gallop. NO REPLY RECEIVED London, Feb. 26. —An official Rus sian statement sent out by wireless yesterday announced that no reply had been received from Germany to the Russian communication accept ing the German peace conditions. The announcement which was signed by Premier Lenine and Foreign Minister Trotzky, again inquired when a reply would be given ancl hostilities cease. In the Reichstag yesterday Chan cellor von Hertltng announced that Russian had accepted the German terms and that German delegates had gone to Brest-Litovsk to resume peace negotiations. Washington/ Feb. 26.—Although Russia is ready to conclude peace, the teuton conquest of her territory goes on apparently unimpeded. Re val, the Russian naval station base on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, and Pskov, 175 miles south west of Petrograd, have been occu pied. The rapid German advance continues along the line southward, especially in Volhynla and the Ukra ine. In Siberia the situation is very serious and Japan Is reported to be preparing to intervene there very soon. The non-Bolshevikl forces there have to contend not only with the Bolsheviki, but also against re leased Austro-German prisoners. German Occupation of Russia Not Enough to Restore the Monarchy By Associated Press London Feb. 26. —Signing of a Russo-German peace will not be the final solution of the German prob lems on her eastern frontier and the final settlement will come when tho peoples of Courland. Esthonla, Liv onia and Poland, take matters into their own hands, according to M. Kameneff, one of the Bolsheviki delegates to the Brest-Litovsk nego tiations. in an interview in the' Dally News. M. Kameneff has arrived in London after a three weeks' j'oiirriey from Petrograd. He is on his way to Paris as Bolsheviki plenipotentiary to France. With the handing over of the'l&na and factories to the peasants and workers', M.- Kameneff said, they had begun to realize, as they could not under the old regime, that a German invasion of Russia would injure their vital interests. Consequently, the consciousness of the necessity of de fending the country was growing among the Russians. German occupation of Petrograd M. Kameneff added, would not be enough to restore the monarchy. Any attempt at restoration would en tail fighting in every town and vil lage, for the peasants and workers were well aware that a restoration would involve the loss of their land and political rights.

HUNS WILL WIN WAR WITHOUT U. S. FOOD [Continue*! from First Page.] The wily Kaiser knew precisely j what was the matter and in stantly set in motion his drive. At the present moment coal is selling for $l4O a ton in Italy; only fifty pen cent, of the rail roads are in operation, and the whole people are on rations. The fallacy that Germany may be starved out Mr. Heinz ex_ posed so ruthlessly that a uni versal expression of disappoint ment murmured over the mul titude. "Unless we send 75,000,- 000 bushels of wheat to Europe in the next three months," he exclaimed at the top of his voice, "we may expect defeat." Germans Won't Starve So far as Germany being starved out he declared: "Germany is In bet ter shape now than a year ago in food supply. The coal mines are not working full time, nor the railroads, but the munition factories are and also the farms. Dr. Alonzo Taylor, who studied Germany for years, said that this country never can be starv ed out because she can always feed herself. This means that any one Is foolish to talk of the war being over in six months. What I hear in Wash ington from men of vision is that the limit will be two or three years. But now we must feed these, our allies. Ammunition is a secondary call. 'For God's sake stop sending ammunition and send food,' is the cry of a recent telegram to this government." Mr. Heinz was cheered time and again as he drove home his telling points and when he paid rich tribute to the women of Pennsylvania the huge audience cheered lustily. "The women of Pennsylvania," said he. "have been making an up hill fig'...." Last July this state reg istered more women in the food serv ice than all the states of the Union put together. This Ls some record. The women are doing their share, hut the men are slacking. They want bacon and sausage for breakfast. They grumble at wheatless, porkless, meatless days. They growl at the conservation of 10 jier cent, of sugar. They do not realize that the person who refuses to save is a traitor." 10,000 For Lampposts The Food Administrator finished with a furious denunciation of Ger man sympathizers. "They are not fit to have posterity," he shouted. "They're not fit to belong to a dem ocracy. We have about 10,000 Ger man propagandists in this country and they should all be hung up on the nearest lampposts and shot." We are not acting like men who are try ing to win in a desperate situation. People of Harrisburg, what are you waiting for, some special dispensa tion of Providence in your behalf? George Wharton Pepper, chairman of the Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety and a distinguished Philadelphia lawyer, preceeded Mr. Heinz. He was introduced by Judge George Kunkel, who became chair man after a short address by Wil liam Jennings. Mr. Pepper first gave some de tails of the organization which he represented and took occasion to emphasize the services of Lewis Sad ler, of Carlisle, and Spencer C. Gil bert, of this city. As Mr. Pepper spoke he waxed more and more earnest until the audience responded with uproarous applause. "We aren't fighting to crush Ger many," he discriminated, "but we are fighting to crush the devil out of Germany, and I tell you its going to take' a devil of a lot of crushing. What are you waiting for, people •of Harrisburg, an interposition of Providence? God will not give us •victory until we show our determi nation to win it ourselves. Close your ears to the seductive \yho talk of 'satisfactory peace.' There can be no peace until we lick the Kaiser." Up to the Individual Mr. Pepper explained that this was a war of ideas, the most intense mo tive of all. "Every one must there fore take his place on one side or the other. Democracy is not only a conception of government, but a state of mind. Autocracy is organ ized fear. Democracy embodies trust and confidence, and why should we replace that with the Prussian spy system, the system which is part of their very life." Painting a picture of the boys at the front on such a night as last night, Mr. Pepper related the su preme confidence those men have in the power of the United States government and its ability to suc tatn them while abroad. Address ing his appeal to his hearers he said, "Unless you, you, everyone of you do your, part; unless you work day and night, not only day, but night as well, you are withholding from those men what they need. Unless you give to the Food Administration, to the campaign for War Savings Stamps and to the Third Liberty Loan every ounce of ability that Is In you. we cannot fortell what the result may be. I mean it," he shout ed, "1 mean it, every word of it and it is up to you, man and woman to do your part in this struggle." "Let me ask you this question," said the speaker. "Did you not think that when you had given your loved ones for service that it was up to them rather than to you, to win the war? If you thought that you were wrong. No one in the world doubts that the boys at the front will do their part. The question is are you going to do your part?" The third speaker of the evening. Lieutenant Frank A. Sutton, veteran of the Gallipoli campaign, gave Har risburg an uncommon treat with his perfectly ingenuous narrative. The lieutenant, with the real Pieadilly accent, was modest, but the audience was so hungry to hear him tell how he lost his am 1 ! that he was simply forced to give some intimate stories. The Englishman did not waste anv time discussing the ethics of the war. He and his friends had no sympathy for the Hun after they witnessed one of their comrades for nine hours endure a series of tor tures. But the Turk seems to be a very nggreeable chap, In compari son. The lieutenant, after a gren ade shot off his right arm, tried to reach out his pistol to shoot the Turk and then discovered for the first time, that he had no arm. Just then a comrade tried to help him but instead of soaking the big Turk with a stone he threw, the stone struck the lieutenant, who was well stove up already. However, just as the Turk was about to thrust his bayonet into the lieutenant, why the tables turned, for the lieutenant got hold of the Turk's scimeter and slowly pressed it onward and up ward until the agreeable Turk "made no more excitement" as the lieuten ant put it. ( The appearance of this hero, jaun ty and determined for all he saw in the Peninsula and in Flanders was inspiring. One could see that as an Englishman it has never occurred to him that the Germans will not be ultimately defeated. The evening was enlivened with a program of patriotic songs in which all joined. William Watson, a Tech High school student, furnished some excellent solo selections. The Rev. H. W. A. Hansoon opened the meet ing with a fervid invocation. Great Overflow Meeting No less an enthusiastic meeting was held by the overflow hundreds who gathered in the smaller audi torium of the hall. The moment that Mr. Jennings saw that the main room would not be able to hold the great crowds which continued to flock in despite torrential rain he ordered this place opened and it was filled in a jiffy. The Rev. Dr. J. B. Markward offered prayer; Mr. Jen nings himself presided and as the speakers finished in the other room all came over to address the over flow. An additional speaker was Sergeant Blake of the local recruit ing station who made a strong plea for the activity he represents. Elizabethville Is "100 Per Cent" in Red Cross Campaign Elizabethville. Pa., Feb. 26. Elizabethville schools are all "100 per cent." members of the Red Cross. This Is due to the energetic work of M. J. Rothermel, principal, and the corp of patriotic teachers in charge. The total number of pupils in the schools is 205, of whom 49 are sen ior members of the Red Cross and 156 junior members. The teachers who did excellent work in the drive are: Miss Ella Shutt, primary; Miss Florence Wehr, secondary; Miss El len Miller, Intermediate; Miss Cath erine Alleman, grammar school; Miss Estelle I.ubold, assistant higb school principal. This is one of the best records made in the upper end, which has done well in all of the-patriotic cam paigns since the war started. Alderman Hilton's Son Safe on French Soil Word received to-day by Alderman i Edward J. Hilto/i, 263 Liberty street, tells of the safe arrival in France of his son, William G. Hilton. The latter was formerly a clerk in the State Workmen's Insurance Fund Depart ment. He is also a graduate of Tech, class of 1916. Early last fall he enlisted In the United States Naval Reserves and was called for duty at League Island, Philadelphia. Later he was assigned to training at Municipal Pier, and was selected for duty on the subma rine patrolboat Nokopils. Shortly after Thanksgiving orders were received to sail for southern waters. A card received this morning Is dated January 24, and was mailed from the Azores. A letter received at the same time dated Janu'ary 27, an nounces the arrival in France. He writes that his health is very good and the long trip was full of thrills. He sends his best wishes to all friends, "we are out to win."

"JUDAS," SAYS STATE SENATOR' OF LA FOLLETTE Wisconsin Legislators Anx ious to Clear State of Taint Upon It Madison, Wis., Feb. 26.—Senator Folletto was yesterday made the object of a series of what are prob ably the most bitter attacks ever heaped upon an American legislator. La Follette's attitude toward the President's war-winning program was likened to Judas' attitude to Christ by State Senator J. Henry Bennett in a scathing denouncement of the Wisconsin Senator before the upper house of the Wisconsin Legis lature late in the afternoon. Sena tor F. H. Hanson, who followed Ben nett, called La Follette a traitor and read into the legislative records a certified copy of La Follette's St. Paul speech. For thrills for the galleries yes terday's session is the red letter one of the special session. With all day Sunday to prepare for their drive on La Follette. . Republicans and Demo crats alike who arc aligned under the "loyalty" banner were ready when the Senate convened at 10 a. in. as soon as routine matters were disposed of the upper branch was Put under call of the House on mo tion of Senator Wittier, who, with Bennett and Hanson, is determined that members shall go on record on La Follette's attitude before adjourn ment. The vote will come on the follow ing resolution. The resolution, •fhlch is an amendment to the loyal ty resolution of the Republican cau cus, reads: "The people of the state of Wls conxln always have stood and always will stand squarely behind the pres cnl mr to n suceeNNful enil. We condemn Senator Robert M. I.n Fol- Ictte nnd nil otherM who have failed to see the righteousness of our na tion'* CM u*e and have failed to sup port our Government In mntterN vital to the winning of thr war. And we denounce any attitude or ut terance of their* whleh ha* trnded to Inelte sedition amnnn the people of our country nnd to Injure Wis consin's fair name before the free peoples of the earth." Before the Senate met to vote on the resolution of censure. Senator I. P. Wittier, of Grand Rapids, an nounced he would withdraw a so called harmony resolution. In a statement he said: •'lf Wisconsin is as black as she is painted; if we are aVi disloyal as others think we are, we shall have an opportunity to show. If we are disloyal the country should know and let the other forty-seven states train their guns on us until the decks have been cleared." GOVERNOR SAYS NO DECISION ON SESSION [Continued from First Page.] the length of time necessary to con sider them. Some Suggestions "X have heard suggested reap portionment and the dry amend ment. The amendment has been much talked of. Then Scranton peo ple desire legislation on mine caves and want a change in the classifica tion of their city which is now linked with Pittsburgh. This is a serious matter for Scranton. Then it has been suggested that we have legislation to take the police, out o£ politics and for a greater measure of home rule in first and second class cities. "Another subject is the enlarge ment of Philadelphia as has been suggested. Governor Pennypacker, you recall, asked for legislation for enlargement of Pittsburgh. The Philadelphia plan I have heard of would take in all along the river, from Bristol to Chester. These are among the suggestions. There are others." As to Amendment "Most of the letters I have re ceived have been about the pro hibition amendment. The bulk of the people writing say that they think that the cry is now for Penn sylvania to ratify the amendment. .Some letters tell of men who voted against local option who are now reported to favor the amendment. I regard that as very significant." The Governor declined to give any names and when asked when he would decide what to do said that it would be in due season. He gave the impression that he was going to take his time about the matter and reiterated that he would not make a positive statement now. When attention was called to the decision of the Supreme Court in the Clinton county judicial district case, in which Chief Justice Brown held that reapportionment had to be made at the legislative sessions'fol lowing decennial census years, the Governor looked over the constitu tional provision and said that it was a question whether it would apply. "The apportionment acts at the spe cial session of Governor Pennypack er's term were not made in such years," he suggested, but he was re minded that they had never been tested and that Clinton county was a decision of last year in a judicial district case. The Governor said he would consider that matter. Judge Due Soon When asked regarding the va cancy on the Perry-Juniata bench the Governor said that he would likely name a Judge this week. D. Lloyd Hartman, of Mifflin, chief of statistics in the Labor and Industry Department, was here to see him about the matter. He comes from Juniata, where J. N. Keller, J. H. Neely and J. J. Patterson, Jr., are suggested, while Representative John S. Kby, of Perry, was also to see him. Perry has two candidates, James W. Shull and George. R. Bar nett. A number of other lawyers in both counties have been suggested. The Governor said no other ap pointments were imminent. will remain here the rest of the week. Three-Quarter Pound of Bread Now Authorized A three-quarter-pound loaf of bread has been provided for, according to a dispatch sent out to-day by Howard Heinz. State Food Administrator. He specifies: "Variations of t(jree-quar ters of an ounce under this weight are permitted In individual loaves. But the average weight of not less than twenty-four loaves shall not be less than the prescribed weight. The new loaf may be baked singly or in twin form, two In a pan. and its manufacture is subject to the same rules as all other bread. The new weight simply adds an additional loaf size and is not Intended to displace the one-pound unit. It was adopted as a wheat-saving measure on the showing that in some large cities are many families which require less than one pound of bread a day. Its price should be relatively lower than tb*t of the pound loaf." m ADMINISTRATION BLAMED BY REED FOR SHORT COAL: Fuel Head Scored by Missouri Senator in "Statement of Facts" By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 26.—Responsi bility for the coal shortage was plac ed squarely on the fuel administra tion by Senator Reed, of Missouri, to-day In a "statement of facts" sub mitted to the Senate subcommittee on manufacturers as a basis for a report of its recent investigation of the fuel situation. Senator Reed's statement was not the report of the subcommittee which investigated the food and fuel administration, but a statement of his individual conclu sions on the facts. Must Establish Stability | "The chaos now existing in the coal business," the statement said, "must give place to stability or wo will in the near future be confronted by a coal shortage of the most dis astrous character." For this reason Senator Reed said there should be an immediate an nouncement of prices and contracts which will be allowed to replace present coal contracts, of which vir tually all terminate April 1. The statement also advocated the announcement of a fixed time in which the business world may safe ly adjust itself to. the new contracts and added: "It is plain the prices allowed to be charged must be reasonably re munerative. If this is denied, the maximum of production cannot be expected." Rules Issued Without Warrant Senator Reed declared the recent fuel order closing industries east of the Mississippi river was issued by the fuel administration "without warrant or authority of law" in or der to "extricate itself from its self created dilemma." The Senator made it plain there was no excuse for such a condition to exist as the govern ment on* August 10 took over the control of coal with authority to commandeer mines and ample pow ers to meet any emergency. The trans-Atlantic shipping tie up, as far as was due to lack of bunker coal, also was blamed on the fuel administration by the Missouri senator. His statement asserted the entire, business machinery for bunk ering ships, built up by "practical experts, not theorists or dreamers, had been put out of commission or completely subordinated to the fuel administration so that it can be fairly said the fuel administration was substituted for the machinery theretofore existing." Prices Swept Aside To add to the confusion the state ment said the prices fixed by the Lane committee* were "swept aside by the fuel administration" and this mistake finally was discovered and admitted bv Dr. Garfield. Senator i Reed declared multiplicity of prior ity orders resulted in tleing up thou sands of freight cars and in creat ing embargoes in many of the great terminal yards of the country." "Obviously," the statement con cluded, "this great fundamental busi ness ought not to be wrested from experienced hands and taken over by those who, however, good their •intentions, are utterly lacking in that knowledge essential tc its successful conduct." The statement was taken under consideration to-day and a report on the finding of the recent inquiry is expected shortly. Senator Lodge whose resolution caused the coal investigation has given notice he will discuss the coal situation in the Senate to-mor row.
