LONDON LEADER DISCUSSES WAR LABOR POLICY Appeals For Abolition of Se cret Diplomacy; Asks League of Nations HENDERSON QUITS SEAT May Contest For Place in Southern Division, Near London London, March 5, —The campaign for the next general election already has begun. Arthur Henderson, for mer member of the War Council, linding that the secretaryship of the Labor Party compels him to spend most of his time !.n London, has decided to resign his seat in the House of Commons from the Barn ard Castle division of Durham and has been invited to contest the southern division of East ham. Urge League of Nations Mr. Henderson addressed a meet ing last night in JBastham, making a strong appeal for the abolition of secret diplomacy, for peace by con ciliation and for a league of nations. He said that before the war began the people had entrusted foreign affairs to statesmen and diplomatists and were paying dearly for their neglect. It had to be recognized that no greater disaster had oc curred in the course of the war than the fatal omi.Tsion to do the utmost to keep Premier Kerensky and his government in power in Russia. The people must be on their guard against a repetition of the same fatal policy over a wider held. Prussian Triumph Unlikely It is highly improbable, Mr. Hen derson declared, that the war can be ended by a decisive Prussian mil itary triumph. It might end by a process of exhaustion, and that meant a continuance of the war, with all its horrors, until the de struction of human life and mate rial of one or both sets of bellig erents made continuation impossi ble. Such a continuation would be a disaster of the first magnitude to mankind. There remains, he said, a third alternative—a policy of conciliation through the combined forces of labor and Socialism to secure a real peoples' peace. That did not man a surrender to the enemy, or a patched-up peace, or peace at any lirice, nor that the people are will ing to concede German brutality or to leave Germany with all her power for mischief unimpaired. What the policy of conciliation meant was the destruction of mili tarism not only in Germany but everywhere. Recites l.ahor Aims Mr. Henderson then recited the well-known aims of the Labor party, including a league of na.-' tions. He said that such a league implied the complete democratiza tion of the machinery of govern ment in all countries the sup pression of the greed of diplomacy and the publication of treaties, which must never contravene the stipulations of the league of na tions. It meant the concerted aboli tion of compulsory military service in all countries to be prepared for by a common limitation of arma ments and also that they must aban don every suggestion of an economic boycott or of the financial or com mercial isolation of Germany. The German policy towards Rus sia made the possibility of peace by conciliation much more remote. The people must convince the Ger man people that victory for such ruthless militarism would fasten permanently upon democratic na tions the awful burden of arma ments and enforced service, and that the greater the German suc cess on the battlefield the more re mote was world peace.

REGISTRATION OF FLOUR HAS BEGUN [Continued from First Page.] and Dauphin county must enumerate his Hour supply, his flour require ments, his excess flour supply, and the number of adults and children under twelve, in his household j on the official flour card printed in this edition of the Telegraph, within the next six days. Beginning to-day the form will be printed every day for six days and by the end of that period, any householder guilty of neglecting to fill out one of the forms will be liable to a $5,000 line and two years' imprisonment. The order to 1111 out the printed form, printed In yesterday's Tele graph, is absolutely compulsory and householders will receive no further notification. . Donald McCormick, county food administrator, gave the form here with printed in the Telegraph his of ficial approval this morning, and householders can begin the flour registration to-night by filling out the card and returning it to the county food administration. In York county, Mr. McCormick said, the registration showed 3 8,000 pounds of excess wheat flour to be stored in householders' bins, so the flour registration as a measure to prohibit hoarding, is strongly rec ommended by the National Food Administration. need .^1 sugar PostToasti E5 AND READY TO EAT TUESDAY EVENING. 2XAJLRISBURG TELEGRAPH , MARCH 5, 1918.

The most important improvement in connection with the plan would be to provide fire-proof quarters for the alarm system. At present all the circuits from all districts In the city are connected on main trunks running into police headquarters yia the entire mechanism is not pro tected. Any slight damage to the vnain lines by tiro would put the whole .call system out of service. SltfN In View Commissioner Gross states in his report that he has several sites in view in the business district of the city. In casi it is decided in the near future to carry out the central station plan, it is options may be secured on one or two of these sites. A paid Are department also was recommended by the underwriters, Commissioner Gross reporting the suggestion again to Council. Need of another pumping engine on the Hill district at the Royal Fire Company house is pointed out, the official suggesting the purchase of an additional piece of apparatus or the transfer of one of the other engines. At present there are two pumps between Verbeke street and the city line at the west end of the city, while there is only one pump In the entire Hill district. Tflli of Motorization Much of the report is devoted to an explanation of the motorization of the department, which was completed last year after a delay of almost a year from the time the $60,000 loan was authorized for the purpose. The motorization included tractorizing four engines, purchasing two triple combination pumpers, six chemical wugons and two ladder trucks at a total cost of $57,499.60. During the year $6,000 was spent for new hose, $750 for hose-driers and siViall sums for other Improvements. An investigation by the underwrit ers after all these changes had been made resulted in a reduction of five cents on the sixteen-cent penalty added several years ago because of inadequate fire-fighting facilities. Because of the transfer of the Citizen and Mt. Vernon Fire Compa nies and the motorization of the ether pieces, it has been necessary to make a!' eratlons at some of the lirehouses. This was done and the expenses paid for by funds raised by the sale of horses, harness and other equipment not needed by the various companies. During 1917 the department re sponded to 107 box alarms and 180 telephone calls. The fire loss for the city reached a new low record, to taling $97,805, of which $63,000 was caused by two fires in frame ga rages.
