CITY'S SUPPLY OF
WHEAT FLOUR IS
DOUBLED IN WtiEK
Great Quantities of Potatoes
Arc Held, Food Sur
vey Shows
CONSERVATION'S RESULT
Sugar Only Foodstuff Scarce
Within Limits of
County
There is twice as much flour in
Harrisburg and vicinity as there was
last week, according to the Dauphin
county food administration, which
made its weekly survey report of
the food situation in Dauphin
county this morning.
The report shows that the
amount of flour held by whole
salers is double that held in stock
last week. The Federal Flour sur
vey now in progress throughout city
and county shows householders also
are well supplied. Retailers have
as much flour in stock as the
wholesalers, it is thought. The
widespread conservation is believed
to have played a big part in the in
creased supply.
The weekly report of the food ad
ministration indicates that unusually
large quantities of potatoes are held
throughout this district. The abun
dant use of potatoes as a grain con
servation measure to-day is urged
by the local food administration.
Sugar remains scarce, the only
commodity which is scarce in Har
risburg and vicinity. 'While there
was not much on hand this morning,
no serious consequences of the short
age are expected, as a number of
cars are understood to be enroute
from Philadelphia.
Foodstuffs totalling more than
two and a quarter million pounds
are in stock at local wholesale es
tablishments. While an accurate
survey of retailers' stocks is impos
sible. it is knowr. that the retail
supplies are at least equal to the
wholesale supplies.
The itemized lists of Harrisburg's
present food resources is as follows:
Flour. 426.000 pounds; corn meal,
17,200 pounds; oat meal, 15,200
pounds: beans, 151,000 pounds; rice,
12.000 pounds; canned goods,
622,000 pounds; meat, 1,040,000
pounds: lard and lard substitutes.
21,000 pounds.
New Frontier Imposed
by German Treaty Cuts
Strip From Rumania
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, March 8. —Explana-
tion of the preliminary peace treaty
with Rumania is made in a state
ment issued to the Austrian press at
Vienna. It says the Dobrudja was
transferred to the Central Powers |
as a whole in order to make the j
decision easier for Rumania.
The frontier adjustments in Tran- |
sylvania, in general, mean the pro- 1
tection of the Iron Gates and the ]
Petrozeni mines as well as precau- ,
tion against fresh surprise attacks. .
The new frontier, however, will not ;
go deeply into Rumania. The eco- I
nomic demands relate particularly |
to imports of petroleum and agri- j
cultural products and the evacuation j
of Austria-Hungary by Rumanian !
troops affects a strip of Bukowina j
still occupied by the Rumanians.
Finally, the statement says the j
stipulation that Rumania must give
transport facilities for the troops
and transports of the Central Pow- j
ers to Odessa appeared necessary in ,
order to safeguard the shipment of '
large grain supplies from Odessa by j
way of the Volga, Dnieper and j
Danube rivers to the central empires, i

CHANCE HERE FOR
REJECTED MEN TO
GET INTO ARMY
Draft Boards Get Permission
to Induct Men For
Second Line
BARS DOWN FIRST TIME
Order Permits Those Not
Physically Perfect to
Do Their Bit
Harrisburg's registered men who
are not perfect physically to-day
were given their first chance to en
list in the Army following the re
ceipt of a telegram by the state
draft headquarters from Provost
Marshal Crowder. The new ruling
permits men who have volunteered
and were rejected for minor physical
defects to enlist for induction
through their local draft boards.
The telegram to the State Draft
Headquarters is to the effect that lo
cal draft boards are to be author
ized to accept for limited military
service men who have been rejected
by their medical boards for slight
physical disability. The inference ar
rived at by the state draft heads
is that it is the beginning of a far
reaching plan to utilize every pos
sible draft registrant in some branch
of the service.
Authority given the local boards
is to induct the slightly disqualified
men in various branches of the
ground service of the Aviation
Corps. The authority lasts only to
d*y, according to last night's tele
giam, but the State Draft Headquar
ters has wired to Washington for
notification regarding extension of
the period.
M* ny Brandies Open
The bcanches of service open to
the slightly disqualified registrants
are for photographers, general en
'gine, automobile and machine me
chanics, gunsmiths, typewriters and
other instrument makers; wireless
telephone and telegraph operators
and regular wire operators, awning
and canvas workers, inspectors of
gas masks and chemists with a col
lege education and at least one year
of commercial experience.
During the first part of the week
automobile and truck drivers were
allowed to volunteer for induction,
but the desired quota of these chauf
feurs was inducted, and the opening
for registered chauffeurs in this field
of service has been closed.
The photographers' branch is not
open to men with all the physical
defects listed as "minor." Men re
jected previously because of ham
mer toes, flat feet, missing finger or
toe, slight defect in the hearing, un
derweight, under height or poor
vision are eligible for the photog
raphers' branch of the service. Im
perfect vision must be corrected by
glasses.
Local boards must receive permis
sion from state headquarters before
they induct a man under the new
ruling which accepts registrants with
physical imperfections. The dis
i qualified registrant who is eligible
| for induction under the ruling re
| ceived last night, must also prove
[himself to be carrying on in civil
' life the occupation which he wants
Ito continue in the military.
State draft officials point out that
the ruling is not to be construed
that men who have been physically
disqualified for military service will
be accepted in the branches open to
the registrant by induction. It is for
men who have been rejected for
slight physical defections and classed
as fit for limited service. It also
gives the registrants who tried to
enlist previously to December 15 and
were rejected for slight physical de
fects a chance to enter a preferred
branch of the service.
State draft officials explained this
morning that all inductions will be
deducted from Harrisburg's quota
when the next call for the draft
army comes from Washington. The
quota, it was pointed out. will be
figured at Washington and the in
ductions taken into consideration
there. Officials here will have noth
ing to do with figuring the quota.
All cases of induction are wired to
Washington, so that they will be de
ducted from Harrisburg's quota.

cases and almost as many new crim
inal suits, it is likely a' third Judge
will be called to the city so that
three *courts can be held.to dispose
of criminal cases, it was reported to
day. Five murder cases are listed
and two of these may be called for
trial if three courts are held.

ASHPROBLEMBY
NO MEANS SOLVED,
SAYS HASSLER
Special Session of Council
Called For This Afternoon
to Meet Situation
Commissioner Hassler called a
conference of members of Council at
4 o'clock this afternoon to discuss a
I plan proposed by a number of men
in the city to provide for regular ash
collections.
Commissioner Hassler explained
to the Commissioners the only sys
tematic method of removing ashes
and refuse will be by regular collec
tions and pointed out that if the city
cannot afford to pay for weekly re
moval of the waste, some arrange
ment should be made for collection
at least every two weeks.
While the motion passed by Coun
cil on Tuesday authorized the Bureau
of Ash and Garbage Inspection to
make a general cleanup and to hire
teams and men in the future to do
this- work whenever it is thought
necessary, Dr. Hassler contends the
city will have no assurance that it
can get teams or njen unless some
arrangements is made.
It is understood an offer has been
made to the city to make collections
every two weeks and to do the gen
eral cleanup work for $4,000 a month
for ten months, or until the end of
the year. As Council has appropriat
ed $40,000 for the ash removal work
the amount will be sufflcient to pay
for the work if the offer is accepted.
Commissioner Hassler said the
cleanup will require at least six weeks
as at present in many of the yards
the ashes are frozen in receptacles j
because of the snow and rain and!
annot be removed. Some of the I
refuse is being taken in the j
uptown sections but it will be ncces- 1
sary to go over the same districts j

AIRPLANES RAID
LONDON; DAMAGE
IS QUITE HEAVY

SEVERAL HOMES RUINED
First Attempt to Bomb Eng
lish City Without Aid
of Moonlight
By Associated Press
London, March B.—Eleven
persons were killed and 10 oth
ers were injured in last Might's
airplane raid upon London, ac
cording to tlie latest police re
ports, says an ollicial announce
ment to-day. It is feared that
in addition six bodies are in
the ruins of houses wreeked.
The text of the official announce
ment says:
"Last night's air raid appears to
have been carried out by seven or
eight enemy airplanes, of which two
reached London. The first two
raiders approached the Isle of
Thanet at about 10.55 a. m. and pro
ceeded up the Thames esthu,ary.
Both were turned back before reach
ing London.
Crossed Const at 11.20 P. SI.
"Meanwhile the thtrd raider came
across the Essex coast at 11.20" p.
m. and steered west. At 11.45 p.
m. it was reported over East Lon
don. A few minutes later it dropped
bombs on the southwestern and
northwestern districts. At 11.50 p.
m. the fourth raider, which had also
come in across Essex, dropped
bombs to the north of London and
then proceeded south agross the capi-
I tal, dropping its remaining bombs
on the northern district between
I 12.20 and 12.30 a. m. The remain
ing enemy machines, ail of which
| came across the Essex coast, were
I turned back before they reached
London.
"A certain amount of damage was
caused to residential property in
London. Several houses have been
demolished."
Several Houses Demolished
The greatest damage in London
was, inflicted in the northwestern
section, where four bombs demol
ished several houses. All the dam
age and casualties in this district
were confined to two parallel streets,
although as usual windows were
broken for a radius of several
blocks. A single raider appeared
over this area. Hundreds of per
sons were just preparing to desert
their homes, most of which are
three-story buildings, for the more
substantial shelter of the two nearby
subways when the bombs began to
fall.
Bomb Made Square Hit
The first bomb made a square hit
on a three-story dwelling of concrete
and brick, crashing through two
floors before it exploded. While the
police, special constables and volun
teer rescuers were busy there three
j more bombs fell nearby in quick
; succession. Ambulances arrived
| speedily and, notwithstanding the
. confusion, the rescuers worked ef
! fectively under the anti-aircraft bar
rage. Fol twenty minutes after the
bombing of this district the barrage
was continued.
The raid demonstrated that Ger
j man aviators no ionger depend upon
I moonlight. It was the first time
I the enemy had attempted a night
| raid over London when there was no
moon. The stars were out, however,
and there was little wind.
Londoners were taken by surprise
when the warning signals were
sounded. The theaters were just
closing. The streets soon were clear
ed. The warning to avoid danger
from shrapnel generally was heeded,
every one taking cover. For a time
j the gun fire was heavy.
A bom 1 ' .'hich fell in a northern
| suburb destroyed two houses and
I damaged the windows of every resi
! dence in the street. Doors were
wrenched from the hinges and chim
neys collapsed.
Not far away a dance was in jiro
gress. It was not interrupted, al
though the roar of the guns almost
drowned out the music.
There was a remarkable display
of northern lights last night and it
is believed by many that this fur
nished conditions under which the
air raiders could work more effect
ively than under a clear, star-lit sky.

TEUTON DUKE
PREFERS DEATH
TO SEPARATION
Dynastic Claims of Mecklen
burg-Strclitz Said to Have
Caused Insanity
The Hague, March 8. —The mys
tery surrounding the death of Adolf
Friedrich, Grand Duke of Mecklen
burg-Strelitz, has now been cleared
up and proves to he a remnant of
true German mediaevaiisin. Many
years ago it was agreed between the
Duke and his brother, Karl 3orwin,
that the .latter should marry and
continue the family, whereas Adolf
Friedrich should devote his life to
painting. Ad. *f. Friedrich married a
lady not of ;>iincely family. Karl
Borwin was killed in a motor acci
dent. The heir presumptive is the
late Duke's second cousin, Karl
Michael. In July, 1914, he became
a naturalized general in tjie Russian
Army, and so cannot now inherit
the title.
At the beginning of the war an
effort was made to force the Duke
to divorce his morganatic wife in or
der to marry a Princess of the rdyal
family. Not only did the Duke,• who
was devoted to his wife, refuse to
divorce her, but she herself strenu
ously opposed the project, although,
as German papers assert, the state
demanded it, and the situation ap
parently preyed on the Duke's mind,
although, according to reports, he
continued to appear before the pub
lic as a gay, debonair man of the
world. Latterly, however, he had led
a more and more lonely life,- often
wandering about the woods of his
estate at night, until finally he lost
his reason and committed suicide.
A small Mecklenburg paper pub
lishes a statement, as it asserts, to
dissipate many false rumors. This
journal says that the Duke intended
to become engaged to a Princess of
a German house whom he loved, but
that before this was possible ob
stacles had to be overcome in the
shape of the breaking of connections
with a person of lower rank, and
that this affected his reason.
Thieves With Appetite
For Candy and Hankering
For Jewelry Rob Store
Thieves last night entered the F.
W. Woolworth Five-arr-Ten-Cent
store, raiding the establishment and
securing a small amount of change,
some candy, jewelry and other small
articles. It is thought by 11. L. Grif
fin, manager of the store, that it was
the work of boys. It is thought that
the boys entered the store via the
roof. Some time ago when robbers
entered the building they climbed to
the top of an adjoining roof and in
some way effected an entrance. Po
lice think that the boys who entered
the store last night had the same
plan.
The discovery of the theft was
made when the store was opened
this morning. The office was
"mussed up" and a small amount of
change was missing. The jewelry
and candy counters were in sad ar
ray.
Every evening when the store Is
closed the big safe is wheeled to
the main entrance, and an electric
light is turned on it. The boys seem
ed to fear the spotlight, and so far
as can be seen the safe was not dis
turbed. •
