MANY HAVE OVER
30 DAYS' SUPPLY
OF WHEAT FLOUR
•
Little Actual Hoarding Dis
covered by Food Ad
ministrator
More than 3 3,800 pounds of flour
over the amount allowed by law is
by less than 5,000 Dauphin
county householders, it was an
nounced at the Dauphin County
Food Administration > office this
morning. This is only half the num
ber of householders whose reports
are yet to be tabulated which have
already been sent into the Food Ad
ministrator. This is less than seven
pounds per family and is not re
garded as hoarding by the adminis
-1 trator.
The excess flour supply is enum
erated by the householders on their
flour cards. Owing to the unusually
heavy influx of the cards, it is im
possible to make an accurate report
of the number of householders who
are stocked with more than a thirty
days' wheat flour * supply, but the
average is thought to be one house
holder out of every three.
The largest excess supply report
ed to date is 400 pounds, more than
the householder's normal thirty
days' supply. The householder
pointed oilt that it is his usual early
spring supply, as he stocks up every
fall for the entire winter.
Equally Divided
The reports which were tabulated
to-day show that the excess sup
plies held by householders is eqaultj
divided among city and county resi
dents. It has been found, however,
that the excess supplies reported by
the farmers are very much larger
than those reported by city house
holders. This is because farmers are
more likely to lay in their winter's
supply, while city householders do
not store flour far ahead of time.
While the flour reports show that
there is a large amount of excess
flour on hand. It is not thought that
hoarding in the county is prevalent.
The excess flour supply is divided
among so many householders that it
would be hard to assemble it for the
common good. It Is hardly likely
that seizure of the flour held In ex
cess will follow the registration, but
such a course is permissible by the ,
local administrator, under authority
from the federal administration. The
registration has not shown that any j
householders of Dauphin county are I
suffering with an actual flour short
age.
The Food Administration requests
householders to seal the envelopes
containing their flour reports and
put a two-cent stamp on them if
if they reside in the city, or three
cents if they live outside the city !
limits. The flour reports, it was
pointed out, are classed as first-class
mail because of the writing on them.
Every day the postage due tolls at
the Food Administration offices run
unusually high because of the num
ber of householders who place a
noe-cent stamp on the unsealed en
velopes in which they mail their
flour report. Through an oversight
the Food Administration at first ad
vised holseholders to mail their re
ports unsealed, with a one cent
stamp, but the reports were classed
by the mail authorities as first-class
mail.
TARDY IfIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Camp Hill, March 9.—ln a month
the number of tardy pupils of the
local high school has dropped from
sixty-six to fourteen. This decrease
Is largely due to the student gov
ernment committee. A session of the
committee was held last night and
four pupils of eight tardy during the
week were exempted. Four of the
students who were unable to get ex
empted suffered a markdown of two
per cent, in the average exempting
them from taking the final examina
tion. If the students' average be
comes too low he will be compelled
to take the examinations at the end
of the year.
LABOR HEARS OF
ITS PART IN WAR
AGAINST THE HUN
British War Commissioner
' • Tells How England Docs
Its Part
Labor Pledged to
Stand Behind U. S.
IF YOU saw your lit'tle children
{fathered tip In fragments you
would buy a gun and kill the
first German you saw.
We can hold back and beat the
Hun if America will only rein
force with food.
England is a transformed na
tion. One million women work
in munitions factories.
. The "American Bolsheviki"
should all be driven over to Ger
many.
Each person should ask him
self or herself to-day—"What am
I doing to win tfle war?"
There is no excuse for labor
troubles now. Organized labor is
pledged to stand by the nation.
American soldiers are the
finest type of lighting men seen
in France.
Germany has plenty of food
which it raises within its own
confines. It cannot be starved,
but must be beaten by arms.
The stalwart ranks of Organized
Labor marched into Chestnut Street
Hall last night to hear a distinguish
ed English labor leader and publicly
attest labor's loyalty to the United
States government in this crisis. It
was no place for an I. W. W. Be
fore the meeting was oVer J. E.
Roach, of the American Federation
of Labor, to this band as
the "Bolsheviki of America" promis
ed that they would all be driven back
to Germany or safely incarcerated
here.
He told how the labor unions were
absolutely united in one mighty ef
fort to d<J everything possible to
hurry on the final victory and how
cautious they have been to avert
any agitation which will interfere
with speed and efficiency.
William Jennings, chairman of the
Committee of Public Safety for Dau
phin county, presided at. the open
ing and introduced H. M. Brooks,
president of the Central Labor Union,
as permanent chairman. The audi
ence joined roundly in the "Star
Spangled Banner" and Dr. Robert
Bagnell then made a most impres
sive prayer.
The speaker of the evening, W. A.
Appleton, secretary general of the
British Trade Unions, instantly won
the big audience by his sound sug
gestions and mature observations.
With an accent that smacked both of
Irish and Scotch and a sincere elo
quence he described the gravity of
the situation unless America sends
food.
Plenty to Eat
"I may say that I was surprised
on landing here," said he "at the
great plenty of eatables. You do not
see it in England. It occurred to me
that America does not yet realize
what it means to feed those mil
lions of troops nor what sacrifices
fnay be necessary."
Mr. Appleton had recently made a
tour of the trenches and there came
in contact with the American sol
dier. He was evidently much im
pressed by what he said last night.
"I tell you they will hold against
this drive, so will the British. They'll
hold and they'll beat the Hun, but
only providing that you reinforce
all the time with food. It is im
perative that you do not waste any.
We had to learn this lesson in Eng
land." He seriously regretted that
America had not had the same treaty
with Belgium that England has, so
that she might have gone to war as
fcoon as Germany invaded Belgium.
Personal experience in escaping
bombs from Zeppelins Mr. Appleton
had right at his own house, the fam
ily being turned out one night with
a terrific explosion, in which, how
ever, no one was killed. He gave
some vivid descriptions of the lioW
rible destruction done by these at
tacks, one in particular "under his
observation, that public school in
which sixty-etght children were
mangled by bombs. "If you saw
your little children gathered up in
fragments you would buy R gun and
kill the first German you saw," he
uttered with fierce emphasis.
Tells How Women Work
His description of English women I
working in all sorts of activities was
an eye-opener to many. The whole
nation has been transformed he told.
Over 1,000,000 Vvomen are engag
! Ed in munition factories alone, and
; through their help England has been
able with the forces of men not in
! military service to produce in two
1 weeks now as great a quantity of
ammunition as the nation did the
whole first year of the war.
The English labor leader in end-
I ing spoke encouragingly enough, nl-
I ways, however, reminding of the ne-
I cessity of keeping open the trans
portation channels and sending food.
| "I saw thousands of American sol-
I diers in France," he said, "and they
are the finest type of fighting men
j I ever saw. The French people
i were of the same rfotlon."
f "There is no excuse for labor
i troubles now," declared J. E. Roach
who followed Mr. Appleton, "and
the unions have pledged themselves'
( to keep the situation clear."
Chairman Brooks paid a high
: compliment to Harrlsburgers as a
patriotic center, reminding that in
addition to all her records for serv
ice she is unique in that no Harris
burg man has been discharged for
inefficiency. The meeting ended
; with a vigorous speech by C. J. Hep
burn, attorney for the state food ad
ministration, who called for more in
tensive conservation of food, espe
cially of wheat. ,
I Germany Protests Because
Neutral Nations Charter
Ships to Entente Allies
* By .Associated Press
The Hague, Friday, - March 8. A
I reply was made to-duy by the seml
| official news agency to the recent ar
] tide in the Norddeutsche Allgemelrie
1 Zeitung. a semi-official newspaper of
Berlin, in which it was Germany con
sidered as unneutral the arrangement
now being made for the chartering
of neutral ships by entente powers.
The news agency says:
"In view of the provisions of in
ternational law it would be partial
Hnd not in accordance with neutrality
if a neutral government were to for
bid Its shipowners to allow their
[ ships to sail on other than its own
I interests, as It would be granting co
i operation to a belligerent to whose
interests It was to put difficulties In
the way of its enemies' overseas
supplies. Morever the government,
by so doing would be promoting the
submarine blockade, which It ha 3
branded repeatedly as illegal."
TROTZKY RESIGNS
AS RUSS MINISTER
[Continued from First Page.]
was expelled from Europe for
New York on January 14, 1917, 1
after the overthrow of the Impe
Washington, March B.—Leon Trot
zky, who brought about the armis
tice on the eastern front which re
sulted in the present enforced peace
on Russia has resigned as polsiie
viki foreign minister.
To Trotzky probably more than to
any of the other Bolshevlki leaders,
is due the present situation in great
Russia. He was said to have cast
the deciding vote on the question
whether to send delegates to Brest-
Litovsk a fortnight ago. Germany
by her ruthless demands shattered
his program of self-determination
and nonresistance.
Two days have seen the with
drawal from the Bolsheviki govern
ment of two of the three men who
have attempted to rule Russia since
the downfall of Kerensky, four
months ago Friday. The resigna
tion of Ensign Krylenko, the Bol
sheviki commander-in-chief, was an
nounced Friday. Nikolai Lenine is
the only one left of the three lead
ing Maximalist figures.
The evacuation of Petrograd by
the government and the populace
continues. Most of the population
are reported to be indifferent to their
fata. Lenine has denounced those
who oppose ratification of the Ger
man peace, claiming that a revolu
tionary victory will come from the
peace. N. Bibenko. the Bolsheviki
commissary of marine, has disap
peared.
There is an organized movement
of wide scope within Russia to throw
off the Bolsheviki rule and re
pudiate the peace the Lenine gov
ernment negotiated with the Central
Powers, say advices from Russian
•Sources through Copenhagen. A de
cision to this effect is said to have
been reached at a recent confer
ence in Moscow, news of which was
suppressed by the Bolshevik news
agency, and formidable army sup
ported by the cossacks now is being
organised in the Don region. The
powerful social revolutionary party
is declared to be behind this 'move
ment.
A Bolshevik news agency dispatch
announces a peace has been ar
ranged between Russia and Ru
mania. Rumanian troops some
time ago penetrated into Bessara
bia after several clashes between
Rumanian and Russian troops sub
sequent to the beginning of the
Bolshevik peace negotiations. Ru
mania now promises to evacuate this
Bessarabian territory, the Petrograd
announcement states.
There have been intimations that
Germany would not object to see
ing Rumania compensate herself for
the loss of Dobrudjaj by taking over
Bessarabian territory. Even in the
current dispatches carrying recent
German newspaper comment this
view is reflected and there have
been no forecast of any such ar
rangement as the Bolshevik agency
now announces.
Germans Will Not Hold

Petrograd, March B.—Replying to
| the Russian inquiry as to the rea.-
I son for continuance of hostilities by
the Germans after the conclusion
of peace, General Hoffman, the
German commander, in a telegram
to Ensign KJrylenko, the Russian
commander, says such military op
erations as have taken place since
i the armistice was declared have
! been due to sporadic movements of
disorganized Russian attachments.
The general declares all regions oc
cupied since the conclusion of peace
will be evacuated immediately.

Conclusion of Peace
Between Russia and
Rumania Is Announced
By Associated Press
London, March 9. —Conclusion of
peace between Russia and Rumania
is announced in a Russian wireless
dispatch received here to-day. Ru
mania promises to evacuate all of
Bessarabia, including Benderi, on
the Dniester river forty miles south
j east of Kishinev, within two months.
Russia and Rumania have been
at odds for several months, and a
number of battles have been fought
by the former allies. Rumanian
troops disarmed Russian forces left
in Rumania after the conclusion of
peace with Germany, saying the
Russians were plundering Rumanian
towns. Rumanian troops were sent
into Bessarabia, a Russian province
I populated largely by Rumanians,
saying they had been asked by the
Bessarabian authorities to intervene
and restore order. The Russians
made a number of ineffectual at
tempts to subdue the Rumanians,
and several weeks ago issued an or
der for the arrest of King Ferdinand
of Rumania.
Social Revolutionists
Organize to Overthrow
Bolsheviki Regime
By Associated Press
London, March 9.—The Social Revo
lutionaries have decided to organize
a national guard to _ overthrow the
Bolshevik regime in Russia, accord
ing to Dr. ElefC, of Moscow Univer
sity, wilt; is quoted in a Copenhagen
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
as saying that the decision was
reached at a recent conference in
Moscow. A great army Is now be
ing organized in the Don district,
supported by Cossacks, the dispatch
adds, and it is also planned to intro
duce a republic in Russia with a
coalition government which would
not accept the German-Bolshevikj
peace. Professor ElefE asserted that
the news of the new movement had
teen suppressed by the Petrograd
Bolshevik news agency.
India Is Menaced by
Direct Rule f Says Berlin
The Hague, March 9.—"We have
acquired p. direct free front via Rus
sia to Persia and Afghanistan," says
a dispatch from the Wolff Bureau,
the German semiofficial agency, re
ceived here to-day.
The announcement of the Wolff
Bureau, if true, has an important
bearing on the situation in Western
Asia and, possibly, even in India.
The peace terms forced upon Rus
sia at Brest-Litovsk took away from
Russia districts in the Ciscaucasian
region through which it would be
possible for the Germanic allies to
gain entrance from the Black Sea
or Turkey into Persia. Passage
through Persia probably would meet
with only nominal opposition, while
a still further-advance into Afghanis
tan would be possible.
A Peking dispatch, dated February
I 27, said the governor of the Province
of Sin Kiang had reported that the
Turks and Germans were active
; among the Mohammedans there.
Sin Kiang is just to the northeast of
! Afghanistan and about the northern
I border of India.

Austria Approves Right
of Self Determination
Within Own Territory
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, Friday, March
lower house of the Reichsrath adopt
ed a four months' provisional budget
after a speech by Dr. von Seydler,
the Austrian Premier, in which he
declared that the government adher
ed to the principle of the right of
the peoples of Austria to self-gov
ernment within their own territories,
but not beyond the frontiers of the
country, according to a Vienna dis
patch. The government, the Premier
said, also adhered to the right of
self-determination as far as compat
ible with the preservation and de
velopment of the entire state. The
government at the same time adopt
ed the principle of the right of na
tional self-determination, the Premier
said, according to which no nation
ality must oppress any other nation
ality and that every nationality is
entitled to live its own life within
its own territory.
The Premier announced that a bill
iti this sense would be introduced es
pecially dealing with the South Slav
question, the settlement of which
would correspond with the South
Slav's dynastic and imperial royalty.
The Premier further said measures
had been taken to counteract enemy
propaganda in Austria.

SENATORS SCORE
PRICE FIXING OF
FUEL AND FOOD
Meatless Days Caused by
Brainless Days, Declares
Senator Reetf*
Washington, D. C.. March 9.
Strictures on Government price-flx
ir.g and the activities of the Food
Administration monopolized yester
day's session of the Senate.
Eed ny Senator Reed, of Missouri.
Democrat, a group of Senators of
both parties made the attack.
Charges that a general policy of fix
ing: prices for farm products not
authorized by the food control law Is
being instituted were made by Sen
ators Reed and Borah, who said the
licensing power of the law was being
so used that its actual result Is an
unauthorized price-fixing program.
In a four-hour speech teeming with
l itter criticism. Senator Reed also de
nounced the Fuel Administration, as
serting that Administrator Garfield
had not told the truth regarding re
sults of the eoalless days' order,
which lie described as a "lockout" on
Eastern industries. ■' '
In tlie midst of the debate the Sen
ate adopted a resolution by Senator
Saulsbury, of Delaware, president
pro tempore, asking the Food Ad
ministration for its authority in is
suing an official bulletin requesting
bids at fixed prices on tomatoes for
the Army and Navy.
