London, March 6-—The evacuation of Petrograd has begun. Three state ministries, says a Rcutcr dispatch from Petrograd dattd Tuesday, have started to leave the capital, from which the population also is fleeing hastily. The Bolshevik government purposes to declare Moscow the Russian capital and Petrograd a free port. Petrograd Being Evacuated Petrograd is being evacuated by the Bolshevik! government. Moscow, the ancient capital, again is to be come the seat of the Russian gov ernment, while Petrograd is to be made a free port. The population of Petrograd is quitting it hurriedly and various government departments are remov ing further inland away from the German invaders. Bolsheviki coun cils in Moscow and the provinces are said to be more opposed to the Germans and a separate peace than those in Petrograd. Previous reports that the hard terms of the German peace treaty, which take from Russia thousands of square miles in Europe and Asia, would not be accepted by the all- Jtussian Congress of Workmen's and Soldiers' delegates, indicated also that the non-peace elements in the Bolsheviki ranks were gaining the upper hand. Evacuation of Petro grad was mentioned as one of the measures the war pact proposed. Trotzky Downfall Expected Refusal of the peace treaty by the congress when it meets at Moscow next week probably will cause the downfall of Lenine and Trotzky, if they do not resign before hand. A section of the Bolsheviki is said to lean toward the Social Revolution ists of the Left, who have been op posed to the Lenine regime and in clined to be friendly to the entente allies, although favorable to an im mediate general peace.

[Continued on Page .] Plain Facts, Plainly Stated Wins a Point For This Farmer Lad "State fully the actual condition which would result from your re moval ?" In the ominous gloom of the great room where sits the district draft board, stood Harold Barclay Bair, a young tiller of the soil from Fan nettsburg, Franklin county. Long and tedious had been the series of questions which encountered him in his thorny path through the claims for deferred classification. He told about his farm, where he lived, what he raised, the number of live stock, what fertilizers cost and how many hours he put in every day in the year, until breath slackened at the effort. Surely those draft officials could gather that he was needed right in Fannettsburg, Pa., much more than in France. But no one can tell what that board is meditating, and the final, comprehensive ques tion came as a stunner if Farmer Bair could not combat it. "State fully, etc., repeated the Hoard and looked hard at the serious faced husbandman. "There'll be one farmer less in the United States," was his deliber ate reply, with such a bulk of mean ing that the Hoard, impressed, decid ed to list Farmer Bair in the second class. Grocers Who Sell Sugar Only With Cornmeal Do So of Their Own Volition Grocers ate not compelled to sell sugar in combination with cornmeal or any other cereal. This informa tion was given by tlie Dauphin Coun ty Food Administration this morning in answer to a query from people who report that grocers compel them to buy cornmeal when they purchase si-par. When the grocers do this thfy are entirely within their rights, but the Federal Food Administration has not made a ruling: that tlie grocers must dispose of sugar and cornmeal in combination. Any grocer who sells sugar in combination with cornmeal does it on his own volition, the Food Administration said. Doctor Plans to Correct Boy's Mind by Treatment Iteno Kemp, the 13-year-old boy from Camp Hill, who was arrested lost night for the alleged theft of a purse containing $25, a check for $lO and a SSO Liberty Bond, was 1 scheduled for a hearing this after noon. Dr. Irminie Gunsaul, 130 Mar ket street, from whom the lad took the articles, requested this morning that he be turned over to her care in an 9ffort to relieve his immoral trend of mind by scientific treat ment. The police granted the re quest. The boy is afflicted with St. Vitus dance, which accounts. Dr. Gunsaul thinks, for his criminal ten dencies. Dr. Gunsaul has been con ducting these free clinics for the benefit of Sunshine children, visiting nurse patients and the poor of the city for abput seven years.

Division in France, Germans Say By Associated Press Paris, Tuesday, March 5. —The Ger- j mans persist in declaring they are not aware of the presence of Amer ican troops on the western front, writes the correspondent of the Temps with the British army in France. This, he says, may be pre tense or the result of what they have been taught, but all prisoners, officers and privates, taken in the last minor operations when asked about tile Americans invariably re ply: "Yes, we know there is a division in Prance, and there never will be more. That, is not enough to scare us." TELEGRAPH TO GIVE TESTED RECEIPTS FOR VICTORY BREAD Healthful, Palatable Loaves That Save the Wheat and Permit Intelligent Use of Cereal Substitutes Housewives who .bake their own bread to-day were urged by the fed eral food administration to make a real Victory Loaf. This loaf will, it is pointed out, do much to save the wheat flour and at the same time permit the housewife to make valu able use of the substitutes which now must be purchased with wheat flour. Seven tested receipts for baking victory bread have been procured from the Home Economics Section of the Food Administration and will be published one each day in the Harrisburg Telegraph. Each receipt will make three good sized heathful, palatable loaves and will save from a pound to a pound and a half of wheat. This bread is especially valuable because of the body regulating sub stances which it contains. l'otato Von.st Bread One or two cakes compressed yeast; 1 cup lukewarm water; 4 tea spoon salt; 3 tablespoons corn syrup; i 3 1-2 cups mashed potatoes; 7 cups flour (more or less may be needed).

What the Keystone State will do on the third Liberty Loan is inter esting the whole nation. The Treas ury Department has just announced that she came out second in the last one with $137,372,550. Tile state of New York alone beat her to first place with $1,413,045,800. The com plete returns of the second Liberty Loan amounted to $1,617,532,300. Mix as follows: Soften the yeast in the liquid and then add (lj salt, (2|) syrup, (3) potato, and enough of the flour to make a stiff dough. Mix and knead thoroughly. Let raise 3 1-2 hours, or until double in bulk. Knead or cut down the dough, add the remaining flour, and let raise again until double in bulk (about 11-2 Hours). Shape into loaves. Let raise in pans until double in bulk. Bake 50 minutes to I hour. Handle and mould these bread doughs with greater care than white bread. If the doughs stick,to the hands when kneading down, add more flour at this time. Always keep the dough at an even warm temperature (about 75 de grees). • if you have a good rule for bread, use it, but in pluce of part of the white flour use one of these otheri grains—either all or part of the time. If ,dry yeast is used, a sponge should be made at night with the | liquid, the yeast, and a part of fhe \ white flour, „ BANDITS SEIZE CASH; THREE DEAD IN PISTOL DUEL Police of Kentucky Towns Seek Robber Who Assisted in Covington Holdup By Associated Press Covington, K>\, March G.—With one bandit deacl and a suspect in custody, the police of three cities, Covington and Newport, Ky., and Cincinnati, Ohio, are searching the river front for the third member of the gang which held up a meeting of the Ninth Ward Building Associa tion of Covington, last night and killed two of the directors and wounded a third, the latter the chief of police of Covington. One of the bandits was killed by Chief Kleum per, after he had shot down the two directors, Andrew Nordmeyer, 63, and John Rehm, 83. Nordmeyer was I president of the association. The six directors of the association | had just been called to order by I President Nordmeyer when the three | bandits leaped into the room and j with drawn revolvers demanded the I money on the table, which amounted to about $2,500. Rehm attempted to hide the cash box and fell across the table dead, with a bullet through his head. The other directors made a wild rush for safety, as all three of the desperadoes had opened fire with their guns and Nordmeyer fell into the arms.of his son, also shot through the head. Chief Kleumper, in citizen's clothes, returned the lire and was shot through the cheek but not before one of his bullets had reached the heart of one bandit. When the bandits dashed from the place they shot their way through the crowd in front, attracted by the shooting, to an automobile. The robbers, it is said, obtained less than half of the money on the table. Steamship Armenia Beached After Second Attack by Submarines By Associated Press An Atlantic Pdrt, March 6. —The American steamship Armenia, for merly a German merchantman, lies beached and badly damaged on the British coast after being torpedoed by a German submarine, it was learned with the arrival of the Ar menia's crew here to-day. The at tack took place on February 0, about three weeks after Secretary Daniels made public tho details of a similar attack on the Armenia in December. The sailors arriving to-day, thirty three in number, said that after the Armenia, of 5,464 tons gross, was torpedoed the first time, in the Knglish channel on December 5, she was beached and temporarily repair ed by means of a wooden patch placed over the hole. Most of the ctrgo was saved. The vessel renewed her voynge on February 8. hound for a British drydock, to have an iron patch re place the wooden one. At 12.35 o'clock the next morning nnother Ü boat sent a torpedo into her hull and again she was forced to beach the crew said, and it was a question I whether she could be saved. Single Copy. 2 Cents HOME EDITION AVERAGE EIGHT POUNDS EXCESS IN FLOUR SUPPLY First 1(59 Families Reporting j Hold 1,307 Pounds More Than Actual Needs MUST REPORT IN COUNTY Men Holding Large Amount Explain It Is a General Custom That the registration of flour in Dauphin county will give the fed eral food authorities accurate in formation of the amount of flour on Tiand, was evidenced at the Coun:y Food Administration offices this morning l , where 169 flour slips were returned in the first mails. The fact that householders are so prompt in filling out the cards and returning them, is a matter of much satisfaction to the local food admin istration. Flour slips continued to pour into the County Food Admin istrator's office all day, and the food administration anticipates no diffi culty getting all householders to sign them. Fifty householders reported an excess amount of flour on hand. The total excess reported was | 1,307 pounds. The greatest amount! of excess held by any one house- | holder was 220 pounds. Next to this I was an excess of 131 pounds. With the latter report was a letter, sup plementing the report with the ex planation that the excess was due to the fact that the householder bought his winter's supply last July, in ac cordance with his annual custom, | which accounted for the large , amount on hand. Most Moldings Small The householders who reported excess supplies reported, as a rule, only between three and twelve pounds excess. A few ranged around twenty-five, and one was 108, one 100 and one eighty. For the benefit of readers of this newspaper who do not reside in Dauphin county, the names of the food administrators of various sur rounding counties are printed. Householders must in all instances report their flour supplies to the ad ministrator of the county in which they live.

William A. Dorwart, Newport. These men may be reached by mail, sent in care of the county food administrations of their various counties. Footsore and Weary Old Man and Woman Stop Here After Long Walk Footsore, hungry and penniless, Cornelius Daily, aged 74. and wife, Mrs. Becky Daily, aged 73, reached Harrisburg early this morning. They had traveled many miles on foot anil were en route to Lewistown, where they have friends. Frank Magaro, a Union Xews Company employe, found the aged couple in tears. They were sitting on the granite coping at the Grace and Blackberry streets entrance to the station. The unfortunates were taken to the Pennsylvania railroad station and given food. A collection was taken up and besides the carfare to Lewistown, $5 in cash was raised. They told a pitiful story. Forest flres had driven they from their mountain farm in Lee county, Kentucky. With what money they could raise, they started North in a one-horse wagon. This was late lust summer. Kn route the horse died. Then they sold the wagon and start ed to foot it. Just about the time winter set in they reach Bradford county from which point they start ed to walk. The old folks last night took shel er In a shed somewhere along the west shore. The aged woman said she had prayed all night that someone would help them, as it was feared they could not travel very much further. She said, "my folks are all buried in Kentucky. There is where I would like to die. I was born on Jyly 4, 1845, and was married on July 4, 1876. My ancestors were Daniel ' Boone followers."

PENNSY BUYS MORE PROPERTY IN MARKET ST. Humor of New Station Re vives With Purchase of Hoffman House PROMISE IMPROVEMENTS Company Officials Refuse In formation on Recent Purchases Purchase of additional properties to-day gives the Pennsylvania Rail road a continuous frontage of 237 feet on the South side of Market street, from the main tracks to a point well above Fifth street. Just what the company intends to do in this locality which is adjacent to the present railroad station is not known, but there have been uncon firmed rumors of extensive improve ments there. Probably the most per sistent of these reports is that the purchases have to do with the long talked of new passenger station to be erected north of Market street, which might make the railroad com pany desirous of controlling all property on both sides of Market street between Fifth street, and the railroad tracks.
