The flrst of the terrific detonations which occurred shortly after 3 o'clock, shook windows In downtown Manhattan and caused considerable alarm. Visions of another Black Tom disaster or a bombardment by the Germans were in many minds. Burning cinders, which arose in the heavy cloud of black smoke, were carried by the wind across the North River and fell along the water front. Writer Has Unique Plant to Collect an Indemnity From Germans Washington,—"l swear, so long as I live, never knowingly to buy anything made in Germany." Such is the pledge which all en emies of Germany the world around are asked to take and which is to the basis of a campaign of commer cial pressure which may bring Ger many to her knees or, failing that, which will collect from her an in demnity for her outrages against civilization. The plan was originated by Wil liam Atherton Du Puy, of Washing ton. a magazine writer. With rela tion to the United States it is to be executed through patriotic societies and particularly through women's organizations. These societies will distribute the pledges through their members. The theory is that the trade o; an individual is worth SSOO to Germany. By signing the pledse Germany is deprived of that SSOO. In so doing an Indemnity of SSOO is collected from her. It is believed that the great mass of tho people of the commercial world will be found anxious to col lect their individual bits of indem nity, to thus place themselves on record as denvinu tlieir patronage to the nation which tears up treaties, reverts in warfare to gas and liquid fire, enslaves women and mutilates children with official sanction and which would deny freedom to all peoples. The signature of all the people will not be necessary, however, to get the maximum effect. Commercial Germany knows that if, after the war, 5 per cent, of purchasers ask a dealer if goods are made in Ger many before buying them, that deal er will not handle merchandise so made. If 25 per cent, of the people take that position there is no hope for German trade. A Simple Way To Remove Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any dru> store (tills is all you wUI need), ap ply it at night when retiring: uw enough to moisten the scalp and it in gently wnth the finger tips. By morning, most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and thre or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.—Adv. To Look After Property of Soldiers at Front Ht - - If -3Tg„ *Bs ■ * .iSE" HhS! HSNXSY r DAVTSOM. Henry P. Davison, chairman of the American Red Cross War Coun cil in France, declared in a recent address that the American Red Cross has organized services to take care of the families of the boys at the front, many of whom are -worried over the taking care of mortgages and the payment of taxes. "Our government is taking care of our boys and their families, but it is in the way of money," said Mr. Davi son. "The purpose of the Red Cross is to supply our boys with moral help and sympathy, which money does not supply. Our boys are here from 3,000 to 6,000 miles away from their homes and we have organized a service to obtain news from their families. We have organized a ser vice especially to look after the pay ments of taxes and taking care of mortgages. The property of our boys will be looked after as if they were home." Tells How Boys in Camps Appreciate Red Cross Tiiat the work of the Harrisburg chapter. American Red Cross, is ap preciated by the boys in the service, is shown by the letter which follows, received this morning; from Robert L. Myers, Jr., of Camp Mill, stationed at Line 92. Kelly Field, South San Antonio. Texas: "Bvery time I wash, brush my teeth or comb my hair I am brought face to face with the fact that I haven't as yet had an opportunity to write and thank the Harrisburg; Chapter of the lied Cross for the comfort kit I received from it. Even now I am using the stationery I found in the kit. When I realize how hard it would be for me to get alonp with out the little comforts in that kit. I am very thankful indeed, to Mrs. Cooper for suggesting to me the pos sibility of getting such a kit. and to the Red Cross for giving it to me. "There are many boys here who suffer many inconveniences from not possessing such a kit and even those who were fortunate enough to se cure a kit. seldom received one as complete as mine. Please accept mv sincere thanks for the kit and my earnest prayer and best wishes for the success of your great work." Myers is the son of Robert L. My ers. president of the Lemoyne Trust Company and before entering the service was a member of the faculty of the Cumberland Valley State Nor mal School at Shippensburg. MUST GET MEN TO BATTLEFRONT TO WIN THE WAR Chairman Hurley of Shipping Board Outlines Shipbuild ing Situation New York, March 27. —America's! effort to meet German submarine j war. whose full menace has just been revealed in British Admiralty fig ures on sinkings of ships was out lined here to-night by Chairman j Hurley, of the Shipping Board, in aj frank statement setting forth the shipbuilding situation In the United] States. * Before the National Marine Lea gue, Mr. Hurley disclosed that des-j pite delays, the country soon will have 730 steel and wooden ways turning out ships and that the government's mammoth steel ship building program of eight million tons on March 1 was twehty-eight per cent, on its way to completion. This does not mean t)iat twenty eight per cent, is In the water, but that construction as a whole had ad vanced that far. Eight per cent of the vessels actually have been put into service, Mr. Hurley said. The three government yards near Philadelphia, when in full operation, will be able to produce, Mr. Hurley said, more ships in a year than all the yards of England, heretofore the greatest shipbuilding country in the world. The high point in the curve of production has been delayed, Mr. Hurley, pointed out, by a number of causes. Gradually, thede are being overcome, he declared, and before many months, the have been reached. "When the high point curve finally has been reached and the magnitude of America's shipbuild ing is realized," he said, "it will be a continuous performance o fproduc tion and launching." "Unless we get out men to the battlefront, we will not win the war, and therefore it all comes back to ships," said Mr. Hurley. "Upon the Shipping Board has devolved the re sponsibility of supplying this need and supplying it under the most ex traordinary conditions that ever ex isted, t a time when every other industry is being taxed to its utmost capacity in the matter of materials and labor to provide war necess ities." "The handicaps have been many. We were not a maritime nation. With the exception of a few widely scatter ed yards., merchant marine construc tion had almost become a lost art with U3. Then came this sudden call at a moment when the Navy was undergoing the greatest expan sion in its history—when most, if not all. of the established yards were feverishly engaged in rush con struction on dreadnaughta, destroy ers, submarines, fuel ships, tenders and other auxiliary craft and when munition makers were absorbing that part of skilled labor which has not been called to government navy yards or private shipbuilding plants. So it was a case of not only working from the ground up, but of first securing the ground upon which to make a start, some of it marsh land which had to be filled in before launching ways could be laid. There fore, we who are engaged In the work appreciate the magnitude of the task. I doubt if the magnitude of the task is generally appreciated. I am not here to emphasize. I am here to tell you of the situation as it |% lllV "I wish to remind you gentlemen, that ships are not built overnight. When we took hold of the ,job of shipbuilding, we found there was no shipyard in existance with which we could place an order. The old yards were filled to capacity. We were faced with the necessity of creating an entirely new industry. Wa had to establish the yards first, get the shipbuilders to take charge cf them, and train the men to build the ships. , There were thirty-seven steel ship yards in America at the time of our entrance into the war. We have located eighty-one additional steel and weed yards while eighteen other yards have been expanded. We are building in the new and expanded steel yards 235 new steel shipways, or twenty-six more than at present exist in all the shipyards of England. If we had been content with doing the job in a small way, we might have built a few new yards and add ed a little to our capacity. A few ships might have been finished more quickly; but it was the spirit and will of America to do the job in a big way and the judgment of the country will be indicated by the re sults when all these new ways are completed and are turning out ships. Many of these ways have actually been finished. The new industry we have created will make America the greatest maritime nation in (he history of the world."

ODESSA RETAKEN BY SLAV TROOPS [Continued front First Pago.] and submarines, destroyers and two cruisers, together with a large num ber- of merchantmen. Moscow, Sunday. March 24,—Offi cial reports say Nikolayev, Kherson and Znamenke, all southern Ukrai nian cities, have been recaptured from the Ausrians by Red Guards and armed civilians. (The recap ture of Kherzon and Nikolayev was reported in press dispatches yester day from Petrograd.) The population of Kherson organ ized and expelled the invaders. A heavy artillery bombardment is re ported in connection with the recap ure of Nikolayev. Demands not set forth by the Germans ip the peace treaty with Ukraine are creating disorder there. The latest of these demands is that Ukraine surrender 85 per cent, of its grain and all the sugar from its refineries excc|t that needed far local consumption. The Ukraine has protested that this is not in the terms of the peace treaty. The Germans commander at Kiev requested the bankers there to float a loan of 10000000 rublfes on secur ity provided by German financial i institutions. The bankers declined. German troops constantly are moving eastward through Kiev. BreadstufTs are being exported frojn Kiev in large quantities and conse quently there Is an *acute shortage. The municipal officials clashed with the rada authorities 6ver the food situation and the mayor resigned. Peasants at Neval fifty-four miles north of Vitebsk organized to resist the German food requisitions. They are reported to have killed eighty German soldiers. Ukrainian Rada Asks Germany to Stop the Advance of Hun Troops Moscow, Saturday, March 23. According to an unconfirmed report the Ukrainian bourgeois rada (which was responsible for the peace treaty with Russia and is opposed by the Bolshevik rada) has officially re quested Germany to stop the ad vance of her troops in Ukraine, as it tended to shako the confidence of the population in the government. Germany is said to have replied that she was invited to restore order and could not leave until this was accomplished. The Austro-German forces ad vancing in Ukraine are moving from both the northwest and southwest against Kharkov, a transportation center the capture of which would isolate the south of Russia from the north. The Austrians have occupied Znamenka, about 150 miles south west of Kharkov, and Konotop, an equal distance northwest of that city. A dispatch from Dvinsk announces that German officers, at a confer- e hey BHB TURKISH CIGARETTES ence presided over by Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg, reached a decision to continue the operations in Uk raine until,the power of the Bol shevik! there had been eliminated. Dispatches from many points In Ukraine indicate that the advance of Austro-German troops is arousing great antagonism, which is not con fined to the Bolshevikl but is being manifested even among who en couraged the German occupation. Forty Members of Han Bread Collecting Crew Killed by Peasants Moscow. Monday, March 25. Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the Gorman emperor, and one of his soas have arrived at Reval Esthonia. They were greeted heartily by the German population hut the Estho nians refused to participate in the reception. The visit is attributed to a desire to create pro-German feeling in the Baltic provinces. The Germans are busy collecting and exporting breadstuffs from the Pskov district, northeast of Dvinsk. At Perchorslcaya, near Pskov, forty members of German detachments) requisitioning bread were killed by the peasants. Bridges were de stroyed by the peasants who also harrassed the Germans by carrying away the bread and destroying carts and wagons. 11/OYD KIFFEIt lirRT Floyd Eiffer, Linglestown, was in jured at the car barn where he is employed, to-day, and brought to the Harrisburg Hospital for treatment.

Egg-Shell Tobacco The votaries of My Lady Nicotine seem to be having a very unhappy time in Germany. One (of them writes as follows: "The other day I ventured to make an analysis of three species of tobacco which had cost me $5 per pound. I found them to consist of cabbage leaves and stalks, egg shells, straw, scraps of India rubber, plaster of Paris, horsehair, string, felt goose-pluckings and other in definable substances. Of actual to bacco the mixture contained less than 1 per cent. "If it be the object of the authori ties to kill off the smokers among German populations they can do no better than to allow this filthy stuff to be sold at It Is now as 'fragrant war smoking mixture.'
