FRIDAY EVENING,
dred delegates who bolted the Pro
hibition convention the new National
party came into real being yesterday
by the adoption of a platform. The
original hundred or more delegates
were composed of Socialists, Single
Taxers, Suffragists, Social Democrats
and Progressives. The platform on
which these elements united is long
and includes most of the cardinal
principles for which the varied ele
ments composing the new {pag-ty
stood as separate units.
Extension of the federal loan law
is among the Important legislation
concerning farmers which is advo
cated. Advance loans upon crops or
products In storage, government in
surance of farms and stock, Federal
inspection of farm products at ter
minals and untaxing of all farm
equipment and measures to prevent
the holding of large tracts of land
idle are included.
Limitation of immigration, short
ening of working hours, governmen
tal insurance, more rigorous inspec
tion of factories and working places,
adequate inforcement of child labor
laws, are some of the things nrged
in the labor plank. Tt is also ad
cated that the government forbid
interstate shipments of articles made
by children, women enfployed more
than eight hours a day or six days
a week, convicts under private con
tract or persons employed in unin
spected factories or mines. Aboli
tion of contract prices on labor and
the honor system in prisons is advo
cated.
Other conditions advocated are
freedom of speech both by word or
mouth and by printed matttr, the
short ballot in state and municipal
elections, right of absentee citizens
to vote by affidavit,.public ownership
of public utilities and .extension of
the postal and parcel post systems.
Virtually the only argument over
the platform came o nthe question
of whether negroes should be speci
fied in the suffrage plank and wheth
er governmental insurance of labor
ers should be compulsory. A bril
liant speech by John Spargo, of Ver
mont, kept the word "negro" in the
first mentioned plank and it .was de
cided not to urge compulsory insur
ance.

ROTARIANS MEET
FOR CONFERENCE
Harrisburg Sends Two Score
Delegates to District
v Convention
Lancaster, March 8. —Rotarians
of Pennsylvania, Maryland and the
district of Columbia are holding
their annual district conference
here to-day. Among those present
are a party of 37 Rotarians and
their wives of Harrisburg, one of
the largest delegations from any
i city.
Much of the time of the delegates
was taken up with a consideration
of war work and reports of the
various clubs as to what Rotary is
doing to help win the war. All of
the clubs have been active,, few
more so than that of Harrisburg
which is among the most energetic
and enterprising of any in the east.
During the morning Captain
George F. Lumb, president of the
Harrisburg Club, distributed cards
on one side of which was printed
the weekly and monthly doings of
that organization and on the other
this boost for Harrisburg:
OVER THE TOP
I have been twice.-around the
world and from the rock bound
coast of Maine to the sunny
slopes of California, but you
could not drive me out of Harris
burg with a club! Why'?. It is
the capital of the greatest state
in the Union —has more parks,
paved streets, live businessmen
and good neighbors than any city
of its size in the United States,
is "busting wide open" with
PATRIOTISM and radiates the
spirit of ROTARY.

The ladies are being entertained
by the ladies of the Lancaster Club
and the meetings will conclude with
a joint social gathering this evening.
Must Conserve More Wheat
to Meet Demand of Allies
Washington. March ?. All ex
ceptions to the Food Administration
rule requiring the purchase of an
equal amount of substitutes with
each purchase of wheat flour were
revoked yesterday because of- the
necessity of conserving wheat for the
AJlies. The entire country thus is
put on a parity in regard to buying
of wheat flour. Exceptions to the
rule had been allowed in certain lo
calities where substitutes are little
known and hard to obtain.
Increased demands for breadst.uflfs
from the Allies -were announced sev
eral days ago, when the Food Admin
istration abolished the meatless meal
and the porkless Saturday, as it was
deemed more important to save the
grain than the meat.
Shortage in arrivals from Argen.
t.ina caused the enlarged requests on
this country.

TELEGRTAPH
HUN HORRORS IN
BELGIUM BEYOND
DESCRIPTION
Brussels Professor Tells of
Plan to Blot Out
Nation
A recognized authority on Belgian
affairs, the Rev. Dr. Henri Anet,
teacher of social sciences in Brus
sels University, told a graphic story
last night at the Protestant 'Episco
pal See House of just what the Ger
mans have done to poor Belgium.
After a brief introduction by Bishop
Darlington, this patient Belgian
scholar and missionary arose and
gave his straightforward story In a
way that made a deeper impression
upon the hearers than all they have
read. .
His narratives of brutality show
that barbarism of the Germans Is
not confined to the "kultur" class
and the military, but that the blood
thirsty passions are common to near
ly all soldiers. On one occasion 200
Belgians were jammed in an apart
ment and smothered to death be
cause they refused to promise to
work for the Germans. He gave de
tails of Individual outrages which
made the hearers quiver with indig
nation.
Dr. Anet said that without any
doubt whatever it was, and still is,
Germany's determination to abso
lutely blot out the Belgiatv nation
by starvation and murder by quicker
methods. Nevertheless, the Belgian
army is in prime shape and the na
tion resolute in its purpose never to
make peace. The reconstruction of
this country after the war, he show
ed, win be a colossal task, for there
is practically nothing left standing.
At the present time coffee sells for
$5 a pound: tea costs $lO a pound;
rfrce, $2; eggs, $4.80 a dozen, and ruilk
is 30 cents a quart, but almost im
possible to get.
Church Quits German
For "Children's Sake"
York. Pa.. March 8. The council
of Christ Lutheran Church has de
cided to suspend the services in the
German language. For the last 100
years German und English services
have been conducted in this clmrcli,
which is the oldest Lutheran congre
gation west of the Susquehanna river.
Some months ago the pastor, the
Rev. Dr. G. Wenders, who has since
been registered as an enemy alien,
declared that services would be con
ducted in German in Christ Lutheran
Church as long as he was the min
ister in charge.
The resolution which suspends the
German services states that action
is taken "for the best interests of the
church and Sunday school, and es
pecially the younger generation."
FARM PRICES HIGH
The farm sale of J. F. Rupp, on
the Bishop-Zimmerman farm, near
Sporting Hill, brought some high
prices. One horse sold for $272; one
pair of young horses brought $476.
Cows'j-ame high as $l5O. The total
sales were $5,380.

the award made so tfat it will
terminate when Willis "shall have
acquired an earning capacity," but
allowed a fee for the surgical op

In the case of Jurdana vs. Mrozek

pensation to an alien whose country,
Austria, is at war with the United
States, but certifies the case to .the
custodian of alien proj>erty. Com

Consignees Must Take
Eggs, Even at Loss
New York. Heavy losses faced
hy dealers and speculators in eggs
becausa of a twenty-seven-cent drop
in the retail price, were given con
sideration by the Federal Food Board.
Their trouble is due to the heavy
shipments received in this city.
Mapy speculators, who are hardest
hit. have refused to accept shipments
of eggs in the face of such loss and
in these cases transportation com
panies, which are holding 26,534,16!)
eggs here for delivery, have threatened
to sell them at the market price and
let shippers and consignees divide the
losses. The Food Board, however,
will force consignees to accept the
eggs they have ordered, according to
the board's director of transportation
and distribution.
Many of the eggs started for this
city three weeks apro, when the retail
price was seventy-two cents a dozen.
Since then the price has fallen to
forty-flve cents.

Delaware Co. Citizens Ask
Wilson to Stop Rum Making
Media, Pa., March 8. —At a mass
meeting of the citizens of Delaware
county held at Media, resolutions
were unanimously adopted calling
upon President Wilson to exercise
the authority vested in him by
Congress to issue at once an order
prohibiting both the manufacture
and sale of all intoxicating bever
ages for the duration of the war
The Senate of the United States
and the House of Representatives
are asked without delay to enact a
law prohibiting permanently the
manufacture and sale of all intoxi
cating beverages. .
"In the raising and transportation
of the necessary grains and other
foodstuffs for the making of intoxi
cating beverages," says the resolu
tions, hundreds of thousands of
men are employed and thousands of
railway cars are used and hundreds
of thousands of tons of fuel are con
sumed and hundreds of thousands
of acres of good land cultivated, all
of which might be employed to help
win the war instead of helping to
produce that which destroys both
food and fuel and men.
"The grains consumed by the
breweries are sufficient to make at
least 7,000,000 pound loaves of bread
each day.
"In the manufacture of intoxicat
ing drinks nearly $1,000,000,00# cap
ital is tied up that might be em
ployed in useful business, and more
than 4,000,000 tons of coal consumed
that might be used to warm the
homes of the people or furnish fuel
for factories.
