20 ATTORNEYS TO AID IN DRAWING UP INSURANCE Tinr Members Volunteer Serv iees to Families of Men Under Arms I^aw.vet's of the county have been •n I luted to give their service without charge to soldiers' families who need assistance in the preparation of war risk Insurance applications. A let ter was sent to all members of the Bar Association to-day by Judge George Kunkei, Charles C. Stroh and A. C. Stamm, who are chairmen of the legal advisory boards of the draft boards, asking their aid in helping the. soldiers' families. Members of the bar also volun teered their services in assisting to till out questionnaires. This advice was given without charge to drafted men who were in need of it. An excerpt from a letter written by the Secretary of the Treasury, which follows, is included in the ad visory board's letter: ' "The American Bar Association desires to co-operate with the Trfas ur.v Department in combatting il legal and reprehensible activities on the part of certain claim agents, pen sion attorneys and other persons in seeking to obtain employment in connection with the collection or preparation of claims under the War Risk Insurance act. "There is no necessity for the em ployment of claim agents or attor neys for the collection of the bene fits granted by the War Risk Insur ance act because the process of such collection is exceedingly simple and the Bureau of War Risk Insurance stands ready to render any and all assistance required. A great service can be rendered by making these facts clear to the dependents of sol diers and sailors who are being ap proached by unscrupulous persons. The suggestion of the American Bar Association that Ihp patriotic law yers of the country advise claimants free of charse of their rights under the law is deeply appreciated by the Treasury Department and affords a splendid opportunity for service to the nation and to the men who are facing the fire of battle for us."

AUSTRIAN HEAD SAW JUSTICE IN LORRAINE CLAIM I Official Note Accuses Em peror of Assuming Role of Count Czernin I'arls, April 12. —The following of ficial note was issued last night: "Once caught in the copwlieels of lying, there is no means of stopping. Emperor Charles, under Berlin's eve, is taking on himself the lying denials of Count Czernin, and thus compels the French government to supply the proof. Herewith is the text of an autograph letter communicated on March 31, 1917. by Prince Sixtus De Bourbon, the Emperor of Austria's brother-in-law. to President Poin care, and communicated immediate ly. with the Prince's consent, to the French premier: " 'My dear Sixtus: The end of the third year, of this war, which has brought so much mourning and grief into the world, approaches. All the peoples of my empire are more close ly united than ever in the common determination to safeguard the in tegrity of the monarchy at the cost even of the heaviest sacrifices. " 'Thanks to their union, with the generous co-operation of all nation alities. my empire and monarchy have succeeded in resisting the grav est assaults for nearly three years. Nobody can question the military ad vantages secured by my troops, par ticularly in the Balkans. " 'France, on her side, has shown force, resistance and dashing cour age which are magnificent. We ail unreservedly admire the admirable bravery which is traditional to her army arid the spirit of sacrifice of the entire French people. " 'Therefore it is a special pleasure for me to note that, although for the moment adversaries, no real diver gence of views or aspirations sepa rates many of my empire from France, and that I am Justified in hoping that my keen sympathy for France, joined to that which ore vails in the whole monarchy, will forever avoid a return of the state cf war, for which no responsibility can fall on me. Concedes I.orrainc Claims " With this in mind, and to show in a definite manner the reality of these feelings. 1 beg you to convey privately and unofficially to Presi dent Poincare that X Will support by every means, and by exerting all my personal influence with my allies, France's Just claims regarding Al sace-Eorraine. 'Having thus laid my ideas clear ly before you, T would ask ydu in turn, after consulting with these two powers, to lay before me the opin ion first of France and England, with a view to thus preparing the ground for an understanding on the basis of which official preliminary negotia tions could be taken up and reach a result satisfactory to all. "'Hoping that thus we will soon he able together to put a limit to tli" sufferings of so many millions of men and families now plunged in sadness and anxiety.

The Unionists will not sit quiet and allow the bill to be rush- ! ed through. The Nationalists are' fnore concerned in the defeat of con- I scription than in obtaining home j i rule.

SANDERS, State Economic Zoologist, to-day examined peach. plum, cherry, quince, apple, gooseberry and currant buds from the fruit farms of Robert J. Walton, near Ilummelstown, and found most of them uninjured by the freezing weather of the past few days. If these tests are taken as an ex ample of conditions elsewhere the fruit jcrop of Central Pennsylva i nia appears not to have been In jured seriously from the storm of the past few days and unless hard freezing weather with a temperature much below 30 is j experienced, the crop may come through the bad weather in good I condition. The samples were taken by Mr. Walton at random | from his orchards. 1 predicted to-day that there will prob ably be no serious damage result ing from the storm. The fact that the sleet and snow has melted read- I ily forms his basis for the opinion that there will not be much freezing of early produce. Plants .May Rot The farmers fear principally for the early blossoming fruit. The long I duration of the storm also furnishes ground for their fears that in addi tion to the danger of freezing, there is the danger of early plants rot ting. The storm early yesterday after noon took the form of a severe sleet storm, which continued several hours, and quickly coated the town with a slippery mass of slush and snow. During the night there was more rain. The total downfall until this morning had amounted to two and a half inches. This morning the storm, which has | passed through all the phases shown ] by the storms of summer, fall, spring | and winter, turned into a heavy snow ' fall. The flakes fell as thickly as at ! almost any time during the winter, I adding to the disagreeable conditions j underfoot. No storm in months has | been responsible for so much dls | comfort as the weather conditions ; of the entire week. Grip an Epidemic An epidemic of colds and grip that had already been troubling the resi dents of this vicinity, is breaking out anew, and there is hardly an office force that has not furnished its quota to the sick list. The grip and colds have been brought on in almost un precedented numbers by the sloppy walking conditions, and the damp ness pervading the air. The weatherman promises no let up in the near freezing temperature. It has hovered around the freez ing point for forty-eight hours and until late to-day will continue to do so. At no time during the day and night is a temperature of higher than 36 degrees promised. The scurry to the coal yurds which ; began a couple of days ago con tinues. and many who were without fires during the mild weather last week are finding it increasingly diffi cult to be taken care of during the last two days. Dealers, too. tire having difficulty making deliveries during the rough weather. Wires Are Down The prolonged storm with its accumulating weight of sleet and snow, is causing the telephone and telegraph companies much confusion and in some cases is demoralizing the service. The Cumberland Valley Telephone Company appears hardest hit by the storm. The service outside the city is suffering. Many are out of serv ice. Between this city and Carlisle and between here and Gettysburg the service has been practically dis continued. The lines of the company as far as Martinsburg, West Vir ginia, have suffered seriously from the effects of the storm. The Western Union lines have also been hit by the storm. A break be tween this city and Pittsburgh oc curred yesterday, and the service be tween here and Philadelphia was in terrupted by a break in the vicinity of Philadelphia last night. The trouble to the west has been reme died, while • provisions have been made to take care of service to the east. Many Poles Fall | The Postal Telegraph also report led trouble to-day. The most of their trouble centers between here and Carlisle, where more than a hundred poles are said to be down. Trouble in the vicinity of Philadelphia on the Postal lines was reported to-day. This delays service eastward, as the routes remaining open become con gested. From Philadelphia to a point thirty miles west of the city, the lines of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company are report ed damaged by the heavy storm. During the night and to-day mes sages east and west have been sent on other routes. While service has not been interrupted, the routes re maining open are effected by the in ) creased congestion. | Little wire damage has occurred I in the city itself.
