Contrary to an erroneous report which has been in circulation, no tickets are necessary to secure ad mittance to the mass meeting in Chestnut Street Auditorium Friday night, when British Labor Commis sioners Appletou and Butterworth and others will speak. The hundreds of people who have been requesing ticket information from the city newspapers and Central Union heads will find the doors wide open Friday night, with no seats reserved. Appleton and Butterworth have been informed by the local promot ers ot the mass meeting that they can go as far as they like In their talks —that Harrisburg wants to hear the truth about the war, and tha .yio liberal dose of lirst-hand information wiven by Howard Heinz and George Wharton Pepper early last week was greatly appreciated. That the labor commissioners, the Kev. Robert Bagnell, Lieutenant Blake and other speakers will han dle the absolutely naked truth is a certainty.

EDICT' AGAIXST I/OAFERS HAVING ITS EFFECT Police are authority for the state ment that the edict of the Mayor prohibiting loafing in the city has brought about a better condition in poolrooms and other loafing places. According to the police, a number of chronic loafers have been put to work since the edict went into effect, and the loafers in Market street res taurants have thinned out consid erably. While only two arrests have been made, the police say a number of investigations have been conducted, and in a number of cases offending youths have been taken before the police chief or Mayor, with their parents, for investigation into their ways of living. These invesigations have resulted in a number of men getting to work, the police say. TO TEI.I; Ol' THRIFT STAMPS Postmaster Frank C.

War Time Lexicon (Copyright, 118, by British Ca nadian Recruiting Mission, which maintains depots in all laige cities where men, except Americans, may volunteer.) Trench Flare: Also called Star or Verry Shells, are similar to the rockets familiar to Americans. These rockets are used to illumine No Man's land and thus prevent a surprise attack. Those iired from a pistol are called pistol-flares. Trench Mortar: A light trench gun with a range of between four hundred and fifteen hundred yards. It throws a bomb weighing from 13 pounds to two hundred ninety-eight pounds, con taining high explosive and no bul lets. The shells are deady because of the fragments into which the steel jacket bursts. AVhiz-Bang: The lightest shrapnel shells used by both sides. Silent Susie: A German high explosive shell not heard until it bursts. As most of the large shells can be both seen and heard, the "Silent Susie" is more to be feared than some of the others. 3(cfU44 East S2nd Htreet by sth Avenne NEW YORK A new fireproof hotel, most conveniently located.

A Fully Accredited College MORE PETITIONS ON GAME 'CLOSE' State Authorities Report Re markable Interest in the Protective Plans The march of the petitions to the State Game Commision to close counties to ruffed grouse, deer, quail and wild turkey hunting seems to be on. The movement to close coun ties 'i'or various kinds of game be gan four years ago and was recent ly revived when it was found that I grouse were being exterminated. Lately a concerted movement to protect the ruffed grouse by closing counties for two years has been started and many letters in support of the plan have been received to gether with some petitions. One of the interesting things about the petitions is that a number of counties wish to add to the list of game to be protected. Schuylkill, where wild turkeys are now protect ed, wishes to add quail as well as ruffed grouse to the list. Washing ton would protect quail, too. It seems that because of the severe winter and the consequent loss of quail many sportsmen believe that there should be a closed season on "Bob White" as well a„ the ruffed beauty and an agitation is under way. Some of the agricultural coun ties have strong advocates of a clos ed two-year period on quail because of the value of the birds to farmers, notably in destruction of potato bugs. As soon as weather permits steps will be taken by the game wardens, on instructions from the office of the Game Commission, to make some in quiry as to how the quail stood the winter and also w.ho fed them. Game wardens say that sportsmen gener ally showed a big interest In the quail, but that many farmers when asked to do so by wardens scattered grain and manifested a keen desire to keep the quail alive. There arc hopes ehero that the loss of quail will not be as great as feared. This game census, which will be started in southern counties first, will be the first of the kind ever made and it is expected that it will show the exact condition of the denizens of the woods for the worst winter in a long time. It will also furnish some valuable information for the propagation work which is about to begin. The state author ities intend to bring thousands of quail from Mexico when the weath er conditions permit and profiting by former experience, they will be put out where they can have a bug diet and where weather is similar to that of the highlands whence they will come. These birds have been trapped and will be shipped when ordered. Three thousand pheasants are in hand to be put out this year. They are at game preserves in charge of wardens and will be distributed when conditions are right. More will be bought, as well as some deer. The crow killing campaign has accounted for hundreds of crows, say game wardens and the fears that poisoned corn would kill game have been groundless. HAWKEYE CLUB TO SING One of the best concerts given in this city in a long while, will be presented at Stevens' Memorial Methodist Church this evening when the Hawkeye Glee Club will sing. The Hawkeye Glee Club is a male quartet, which has been on the Ly ceum and Chautauqua platform for many years. Saxaphone, mandolin and vocai music, and readings will be given by the ensemble. An interesting fact in connection with this quartet is that they intro duced the saxaphone, a practically unknown* instrument, featuring it for several years. From this be ginning. comes the present saxa phone music which is at present in vogue. TO PLAY VOLLEYBALL An interesting match will be played Wednesday evening when Lancaster businessmen will meet the local businessmen's team at the Central Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, in a volleyball match.

' election —and Joseph Fecker, of Sun bury, have opened their campaigns and have the assurance of support of the regular party leaders. D. W. Helt, of Shamokin, will have to fight his own battle. A Shamokin dispatlic says: "That the Republican field denotes preelec tion strength that seems unconquer able at the fall election regardless of the three nominated, is evident from the fact that the Democratic announcement of candidacies is de cidedly belated. But one real Dem ocratic aspirant, George Hetrick, Shamokin, has entered the field. At torney A. W. Duy, of Bloomsburg, Columbia county, who is to have the undivided support of the regular Re publican leaders of the Sixteenth Congressional district, has opened his campaign. Duy is the one man who is looked upon as able to de feat the present Congressman, John V. Lesher, Democrat, of Sunbury. Lesher has had three terms, and there is dissent over his candidacy among the Democrats, and with Duy hailing from Columbia county, the Democratic stronghold and control ling county of the district and ca pable of switching many Democratic I votes, his election is declared by the Republican leaders as a certainty."
