12 ALL NEWS OF T TELEGRAPH MEN AWAIT ORDERS New Battalion Made Up of Pennsy Employes Com pletes Training More than :TBO men, most of whom arc employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, are ready for ac tual service abroad as members of the Four Hundred and Thirteenth telegraph battalion of the Signal Corps of the National Army. This battalion has just completed train ing and has been equipped. Composed entirely of volunteers, it is one of the most interesting of the special military units which have been raised in this country. All but one of the officers and a majority of the enlisted men of the battalion have been in the service of the Pennsy. and have deceived a fur lough from their usual duties to de vote their specialized skill and ex perience to the military service of the nation. hum All Over System Drawn from all portions of the Pennsylvania Railroad, from New York to Cape Charles, Va., and from Philadelphia to lines west of Pitts burgh. the men comprise division operators, train dispatchers, block tsignal operators, telegraph opera tors. electricians, linemen and other railroad men of allied occupations. The battalion has been recruited in the last three months by its com manding officer. Major Charles G. Baird. who has been for seven years division operator of the Penn sylvania Railroad at New Y'ork. and has been altogether twenty years in the company's service. The duties of the battalion, will probably take its members fre quently into and near the front line trenches, will be to construct tcle graph lines of communication for portions of the American expedition ary forces abroad. Efficient 1 lender Major Bard's experience in rail road service has particularly fitted him to direct and supervise work of this kind. He is a veteran of the Spanish war, in which he distin guished himself for bravery under fire. As a final step or preparation, all the members of the battalion were furnished with comfort kits and or her supplies by the women's di- j vision for war relief of the Penn sylvania Railroad. A liberal supply i of "smokes" also was given. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com- ' pany now has 11,000 of its members : in the Armv and naval service of the I'nited States.

There Is something that all of us can do. and the first thing is to stay at our posts and do our duty to the best of our ability; and second, to be as eco nomical in everything as we possibly can. and not to waste anything. I am a Track Foreman and write especially to Track Foremen. There are no doubt many of us who are unable to do very much in giving our financial aid to the Country in loans, but let us remember that there are thousands and hundred of thou sands of our young' men to be taken to the front to sacrifice themselves to protect the integrity of this great Country. We should remember that all these men are moved over railroad tracks throughout the Country, of which we have charge, and that up on our carefulness and alertness de pends the safety of these men when being moved. Musselman Quoit Pitchers Defeat the Gang Leaders In the Pennsylvania railroad quoit championship series, the J. 11. Mus selmen pitchers won over the Gang Leagers. Six games were played. The victors.

Boxcar Leaves Rails; Is Dragged Seven Miles Potterville, Mich., March 4. —A serious wreck was strangely avoid ed when a car in the middle of a long freight train left the rails soon after starting for Charlotte and was pulled into that city, a distance of almost seven miles, before it was noticed. The car was dragged along over ties and roadbed, damaging the track considerably, but was not discovered by the crew on account of the dark ness. Firemen's Lodge Arranges New Collection System Members of the William H. Morne Lodge, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, No. 673, yes terday decided that in the future monthly dues will be collected by the Commercial Trust Company. Thomas Yost, who is unable to han dle the work, has been financial sec retary for seven years. Railroad Notes Orders are expected this week cutting train service in the west one third. F. W. Durgin, a Pennsylvania Railroad freight conductor, who has been on the sick list, is improving. Agents are scouring this district for trainmen on the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania Rail road. Men are also needed in Enola and Marysville yards. Government control of railroads does not make it obligatory to try damage suits against transportation systems in federal court, according to a ruling in United States District Court at Louisville, Ky., by Judge Walter Evans, who held that state tribunals have jurisdiction. The rul ing was said to be a precedent. Harvey Maumeister, brakeman on I the Reading, was knocked from his i train at Hershey, Saturday, and his | face badly cut. General Superintendent W. ft. Keffer, of the Reading, was at Ruth erford Saturday. During the past week large ship ments of potatoes from Northern I Berks and Western Lehigh have J been made on the Schuylkill and Le high branch.

Court of Appeals Reverses Police Court Conviction of White House Pickets By Associated Press Washington, March •. The local court of appeals to-day reversed po lice court convictions 6f the White House pickets of the national wo j man's party, holding that picketing ! of the White House by the silent sen \ tinels was not an unlawful assembly unless an unlawful purpose or acts were shown. The decision is an after develop, ment of the sensational campaign which caused many disturbances in front of the White House. The pickets long since have served their sentences or been released and the picketing campaign was abandoned some time ago, soon after the administration came out in support of the woman suffrage constitutional amendment. Judge Kunkel Withholds Approval of Account President Judge George Kunkel to-day declined to confirm the sec ond account tiled by Charles A. Am bler, state insurance commissioner, in the distribution of funds of the Scranton Fire Insurance Company. ■ Under the first account creditors re ceived fifty per cent. The second distribution adds ten per cent. According to the court, accounts should be tiled with the prothono tary, who should advertise that they will be presented for confirmation. It was explained that in this case the account was advertised by the | Insurance Department but not by I the county. While no exceptions : have been (lied. Judge Kunkel ruled | that the procedure given in the Act of 1911 relating to filing accounts be followed. - PETITIONS MAKE APPEARANCES O'Neil ami Sproul Papers Cir culated; Capitol Pushes O'Neil Boom Sproul and O'Neil nominating pe t'ons made their appearance to-day iti Harrlsburg and there were re ports that Congressman John It. K. Scott's petitions would be coming along in a few days. The petitloßs were privately printed and followed the forms of the State Department. The Sproul petitions were in charge of men active in Republican affairs in Harrisburg, not connected with the executive end tlie state gov ernment, and some men of independ ent tendencies. Quite a number of signatures were regarded as secured. O'Neil's petitions were in the hands oi men connected with Capitol de- partments under the Governor and they were told to have them ready jby April 1. The O'Neil petitions were passed out to all departments except Auditor General, State Treas urer, Secretary of Internal Affairs and the Senate and House, which are tot under the Governor. Kach de partment was given a bundle, care fully numbered and men were picked to circulate them. Uhis is said to have been done by direction of Pri vate Secretary Ball, who was not here to-day. In any event, the Kx ecutlve Department was declared to have arranged for the circulation of the papers. In accord with custom, men will be sent to their homes to get papers signed up. so that there will be a sh, owing from all counties. One of the reports was that as each man in the Department of Pub lic Grounds and Buildings drew his pay he got a petition and orders to get it signed up. Superintendent G. A. .Shreiner denied this, but admitted that some of the men had petitions. Commissioner O'Neil was not here to-day. lie is due to-morrow. Gov ernor Brumbaugh is not here, either. ALL FLOUIUN CITY MUST BE REGISTERED [Continued from First Page,] for thirty days, must be enumerated on the flour cards. The card also contains an agreement on the part of the householder to hold excess flour on hand for the use of the gov ernment. Subject to Seizure Donald McCormick, food admin istrator here, said he does not think the order to register all wheat flour in the city is an intimation that the excess flour will be commandeered by the government. This may come later, he said, but he has no notifi cation of anv intention on the part of the food administration that such procedure is contemplated. Rather the move is a concerted effort on the part ot all local food administrators to give the Federal and State Food Commissions a comprehensive idea of the actual wheat situation in „the country. It is also likely that the registra tion wili pave the way to the national distribution of wheat to suit the requirements of the com munities. for the registration will inform the various local administra tors, and the National Food Admin istration, just how much wheat is actually required in each commun ity. Heavy Penalties A penalty of $5,000 with no less than two years imprisonment will be meted out to those who fail to reg ister. Where cards do not return to the county food administration promptly, actual search of the households, and prosecutions, are likely to follow. The requirement that householders may have no more than thirty days supply of flour on hand, or purchase more than 49 pounds, has confused householders considerably. The rul ing means that if a household's re quirements for thirty days are less than forty-nine pounds, they may not buy forty-nine pounds at one time ,but only a thirty days' supply. On the ether hand, if the thirty days' supply for a household is more than forty-nine pounds, only forty nine pounds may be purchased at one time, regardless of what the household may require for thirty days. The official text of the food flour registration card fellows: No householder is permitted to purchase over forty-nine pounds of wheat flour nor to have more than thirty days' supply. Every house holder must report immediately (on this form) to the County Food Ad ministrator. Make report of all wheat flour on hand whether it is excess or not and urge on your neighbors the necessity and import ance of making this report prompt ly.

MUCH WHEAT IS HELD ON FARMS State Authorities Say That the Amount Is at Least One- Fourth of the Crop At least one quarter of the 1917 wheat crop is estimated by men con nected with the State Department of Agriculture, who have been studying the grain problem to be in the hands ot growers in spite of calls by na tional and. state officials to owners to place it on the market. In the last two weeks attempts have been made in every county to ascertain the wheat unsold and the reports in dicate a larger percentage than us ual is held on the farms, in some instances, it is reported that, the weather prevented it being sent out. Between thirty and forty per cent of the 1917 potato crop is also Be ing held on the farms, it is said at the department and almost daily farmers who have been inquiring, have been urged to sell their crop.?. Numerous instances of potatoes be inr. frosted and of inability of farm ers to move their crops before the early winter began have been re pt rted. Damasre to corn through freezing is also reported ap more extensive than started early in the year, and the demands for seed corn hava been very heavy. it is expected by the Departm* nt of Agriculture that the orders for the tractors to be bought by the state, will bo placed to-morrow and early delivery will be one of the con ditions. TEUTONS PERFECT PLANS FOR DRIVE t Continued from First I 'age. ] made that American forces have taken over a sector northwest of Toul and that a number of detached units are in action in the Cham pagne. Operations in the eastern theater .are expected ,to affect events in France, through a modification of German plans, the review intimates. Six Teuton columns are operating in Russia, and to only one of these —the column moving towards Vi tebsk —is any opposition noted. Turkish forces advancing in the Caucasus are meeting with little re sistance and are massacring Arme nian residents of the districts re taken from the Russians. The review follows: "The third month of relative quiescence on the western front has come to a close. During this period both belligerent groups have been massing their forces. ' There is evidence that the enemy continues to bring up fresh units. Owing to transportation difficulties this has been a slow and laborious process. "The Allied War Council now is in continuous session. assuring complete unity and flexibility of control. "The British have extended their front. I. S. Takes Over Hector "Our own forces have taken over a sector northwest of Toul. In ad dition a number of our detached units are in action in Champagne and the momentum of battle is in creasing. "We have but to note the occur rences of the past week in our own sector in Lorraine in order to gain an idea of what is taking place. Patrols have been very active. Early in the week the enemy made two attempts to reach our lines but was driven off by machine-gun fire. On March 1 the enemy developed a sharply driven attack. After a short struggle the hostile detachment was repulsed. "The Germans now are using gas along our front. Our men are be coming accustomed to this weapon. Our gas masks are efficiently pro tecting. Our artillery was very busy shelling enemy positions and in flicted considerable damage on gun and mortar emplacements. "Important troop movements took place behind the German lines op posite our front. ''ln spite of the low visibility, hos tile aircraft continued active and made frequent incursions over our lines. "In the region of the Chemin des Dames, lively encounters took place. A FVench raid against the German outposts, in which a number of American volunteers participated, was successfully carried through. "On February 24 the French exe cuted a coup de main, destroying hostile defensive work and shelters near Aspach. in upner Alsace. Small raids in Champagne and Lorraine were also recorded. The enemy also was driven back while attempting to react in the vicinity of Butte Du Mesnil and the Chemin des Dames. "The boldest enterprise under taken by the enemy during the week took place north of Dixmude. Here after prolonged artillery prep arations the enemy endeavored to throw a bridge across the Yser. The Belgians successfully prevented six consecutive attempts to push this operation to successful conclusion. Advance Eastward "The new trend of events in Rus sia has no doubt modified German plans to- a certain degree. For the time being the enemy continues to advance eastward. Following the highways and railroads, six columns of invasion along a 700-mile front are operating in careful co-ordina.- tion. In Esthonia the enemy has reached a point approximately 100 miles from Petrograd. In Livonia, Jurjev, 160 miles east of Riga, has been entered. The column moving on Vibitsk is advancing at an aver age rate |>f sixteen miles daily and has passea beyond Pskov. This force has met with some opposition. After the capture of Minsk the hostile enemy operating in this area con tinued its advance and is apparently headed for Smolensk and its ulti mate objective, should it continue to find its course unimpeded, would be to cut off and possibly occupy Mos cow. "The fifth column, operating in the Pripet sector, also is converg ing on Smolensk and Moscow as a final objective. The sixth column, composed of Austrian forces operat ing in Volhynia, owing to the favora ble reception the Austrians have re ceived at the hands of the Ukraini ans, has been able to advance more than 200 miles into the interior and is reported to be within sixty miles of Kieff. "The Russians are believed to be preparing to stem the tide of inva sion. Petrograd is being prepared to withstand a siege. !'ln the Caucasus the region from the Lake of Van to the Black Sea is again in Turkish hands. In the districts reoccupied by the Turks it is stated that, they are massacring the Armenians. "In Palestine the British are in close contact with the Turks, who are retreating northward through the valley of the Jordan. In Meso potamia the British are advancing up the Euphrates and have arrived In the vicinity of Hit, which is re ported to have been evacuated by theXiuW - DAY'S TENDENCIES WERE REACTIONARY Reactionary Tendencies Again Manifested at Open ing of Stock Market—Motors Advance—Lib erty Bonds Eased Slightly at Start fly Associated Press i New York, March 4.—Wall Street.)

Ebel Says Arkansas Farmers Are Varying Their Crops Walter M. Ebel. son of Fred M. Ebel, well-known retired hotelman, of this city, is in Harrisburg to-day on his way from Washington to Lit tle Rock, Ark. Mr. Ebel Is In charge of the publicity division of the food administration of Arkansas and is re turning from attending the national conference of food administration officials with Mr. Hoover in Wash ington last week. "Arkansas farmers have been awakened to the need of crop varia tions. Our southern farmers are no longer confining themselves to cot ton. They have reached a stage where you could build a Chinese wall about Arkansas and our farmers would be able to feed themselves and the rest of the population and still hive some to spare. As we were told in Washington, wheat flour is the prime necessity now, but the con ference simply went wild when Mr. Hoover said that with proper regula tion of foodstuffs and economy of beef, pork and wheat we can hold out without any suffering for fifteen years of war, if need be." Mr. Ebel is the guest of his par ents to-day and will return to Ar kansas to-night to resume his du ties.

JOB J. CONK LIN, PAUL G. SMITH. Attorneyjv \ BIG RUMMAGE SALE PLANNED FOR HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Harrisburger Asked to Donate Odds and Ends Preparations arc being made for the biggest rummage sale for the benefit of Harrisburg Hospital that has been staged since this annual event was established. The date ot its start will not be announced for a few days but the Harrisburg women who are responsible for this very efficient money maker have asked that the Telegraph start the new? a-flltering because they want all thr rummage in the city turned in. Ar > ou are probably starting this week to clean house, Airs. Harrlsburger, it Is up to you to lay aside any and all rummage that may do to put 011 sale. I lie success of this venture which is now three-years old was so ama/.'- im? Ilui 1 it could hardly be believed when the announcement was mad j last year that $4,000 had beer cleared, it was a real bonanza foi j the hospital. The sale has been helt |in Mrs. Astrich's store and in tin [ Hunter building. A place has no yet been selected for this year, b\r In big one will be needed, for liar risburg's appetite for rummaue sale: Is only beginning to be whetted. Along with the strictly buslnes: features of this annual event Harris burg has contributed plenty of KOO< humor and lively incidents. Th< variety of rummage is always divert ing, last year the oddest bit belnK ; live pig. The bidding on this swee porker sailed high and incited wild est rivalry among some of the. so cial leaders. Another source of keei argument was an old lantern sen in by Miss Fannie Kby. There were some comical misad ventures which added to the hilarlt; of the last day's sale. One wel known Harrisburg man laid off hii $65 overcoat to have a conference with the committee and upon re turning found that it had been swop up with other rummage and sold ti a huckster for fifty cents. There is hardly anything whicl will not be disposed of in the cloth ing and furniture line and in fac there is no limit on the contribution! iisked for. The important thing t< do at this stage is to sort out wha you have for this fine charity; havi it ready so that when it is announce) where to phone for shipment facil ities there will be no delay.
