SENATOR KNOX
SEEKS TO STOP
LEAK TO KAISER
Presses Action to Have Direct
Information as to Turkey
and Bulgaria
Wa>liingtoii. April 2o. —The reso
lution introduced by Senator Brande
gee, of Connecticut, calling upon the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee to give early consideration to a
resolution proposed hv Senator King,
of Utah, providing for, a declaration
of war against Bulgaria and Turkey,
was called up for consideration in
tile Senate to-day.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania.
Republican, and former Secretary of
State, offered a substitute fur the
resolution proposing that the Presi- \
<jent be requested if not incompatible!
with the public interest, to inform I
the Senate if there were many rea-1
sons against declaration l ; of warl
with Turkey and Bulgaria.
After spirited debate resolutions '
designed to initiate the war declara-1
tions went over until to-morrow.
"It is a travestry and a tragedy for
lis to lie declaring war against one!
< duntry and at the same time main- :
tainiixg friendly relations with the|
other countries allied with that one," i
Senator Brandgee declared. i
Senator Knox said:
Knox Defends Request
"This substitute Is entirely a prop- j
er one lor us to press. I feel the ;
weight pressing upon me—l think j
every member of the Senate feels the;
weight—that we do not know enough |
about matters upon which >ve are'
constantly called'here to act There I
is a feeling throughout the country'
that we iio not know enough that we,
ha - .e not the facts."
Senator Knox pointed out that the j
Bulgarian minister here is received \
in American homes and that he can!
get information, "dropped at the din* I
ner table" and also Irom other'
sources in the Capitol that would be!
Of value to the enemy.
Suy.s kaiser Gets Information
"Does any one imagine this infor
mation is not going to the kaiser and !
going constantly?" asked Senator!
Knox. "The people have the right to
know why we are permitting it and !
if there are reasons why, they should '
be made known."
Declarations of war against the:
t\yo Teutonic allies. Senator Knox j
asserted in any event would "be only !
declaring the fact." H® said that I
when the President recommended [
war only against Austria hist Decern-j
ber he was satisfied and also would j
he satisfied if the President now j
would give reasons for inaction.
Time 1 1 ere For Direct Information j
"But 1 think the time has come,"|
said the Pennsylvania member, 1
"when we should have information;
and have it direct."
Senator Brandegee accepted the
Knox resolution as a substitute for l
his own, reiterating a disclaimer of!
intending to reflect on the Foreign!
Relations Committee. "I think the I
sentiment uf the country demands j
war against Turkey and Bulgaria," 1 ;
he said. "I think the Senate wants it.
I do not think it can be considered!
acting hastily after a year of war.)
The Turks have been waging war;
against our allies."

TUESDAY EVENING,
GERMAN NATION
A LEPER, LOAN
WORKERSTOLD
Time Has Come to Drive
Taint From Nation, the.
Speaker Declares
Deputy Attorney General Keller:
at noon to-day brought the several \
hundred volunteer Liberty Loan
bond sellers to their feet, when, at
the first of the get-together meat
ings of the home drivers, he declar- 1
ed that Germany is a pariah nation.
"Germany is a nation that is out
cast," said Mr. Keller. "It is a leper
—an unclean thing! It is our duty to
banish it —to drive it away from us; j
to ban it from our schools, from our
! newspapers, from our pulpits! And
j It is our duty here and now to prom- ]
| ise that never so long as we live will;
j we buy anything bearing the stamp j
j 'Made in Germany.' "
To-day's meeting gave the Lib-;
| erty Loan bond sellers an opportun- 1
; itv to sec the workroom at the new
Post i ifTice. In this huge place the.
I war-time lunch of sandwiches and!
'j coffee was served (he men who in the I
i next three days will eomb Harris-j
I burg in an effort to sell not less than!
1 $."...">00,0ii1l worth of bonds and ns;
' much more as possible.
Deputy Attorney General Keller j
j sounded the keynote for the workers!
| to-day,
"Every man in this room," he said.]
J "if an epidemic or a pestilence were;
threatening would give up every-j
! thing he has in the world to protest j
' his wife and his children; his mother!
!or his sisters—his family. That)
: menace is here now; and it is up to
i each one of us to give everything;
jin his power to stop it. The one j
! thing that saves the United States of |
| America from the fate that overtook;
I Belgium and parts of France is 'he!
j thin blue line of English. Irish, Aus-;
tralians. French, Canadians and |
j Americans which stems the tide —)
i which fights on the field of France.
"Might Makes Right"
"The Germans have preached for)
j years that 'the German people :ire|
I always right because they are the,
| German people.' and they have said |
that the smaller nations and peoples;
have no rights which a German need j
respect. This country made the samei
i error sixty years ago when in the)
! Dred Scott law it said that negroes)
I had no rights which white people j
| were bound to respect. It required t
| four years of war and the blood of a|
million men to wipe out that pro-]
; nouncement. And it will take years;
' of fighting and the blood of millions j
■of men to wipe out the pronounce- i
| nient of the German nation.
' "In their campaign of ruthlessness
| the Germans have resorted to de-1
; struction, to arson, to murder, and!
to rape. The German ofllcers have)
I connived and encouraged their men i
I to ravish women in the lands they!
j have captured. Who will say that
I with the excellent discipline of the'
I German army crimes of this sort!
I might not have been prevented had |
'the ofllcers desired? General Sher
man and 50,000 Americans marched I
i from Atlanta to the sea during the!
• Civil War, and while there was much !
laying to waste it is not of record!
that one white woman was injured.)
"In this country we are blind to,
I the dangers that besets us. We are.
i pitted against a foe v that for fifty;
! years haia made war its business.
I Germany deliberately went into the
I wars of 1866
! when in three short months it defeat
i ed France at a cost of only $480,000,-
j 000. it demanded and secured an in
demnity of $1,000,000,000 and the
j provinces of Alsace-Loraine, worth
at least $2,000,000,000 more. Thus
j with the blood of its own men —its j
own people—it embarked on wars cf |
| conquests and laid plans for con-1
ijuests of the future. I
Time to Show Best
"I cannot see why we require thir-J
| ty days' campaign to sell $3,000,000,-'
i 000 worth of bonds in the country, |
I and $3,.'i00.000 in Harrisburg. These
i bonds should have been taken. up
i over night. The funds have the best
I security back of them —the pledge
of the United States; and that pledge
Is backed by your property and mine. |
j The man • who hesitates at buying
bonds because the interest is but;
4 1 * per cent, is too small t.o be i-on- |
] sidered. it is not a time to be pica-'
j yunish over such trifles. It is a time!
j to do vour best."
Chairman Frank Sites explained
| what is to be done by the teams, a|
did President Andrew S. Patterson
lof the Chamber of Commerce. The I
division commanders, togged in mil;-!
tary coverings, were presented to the |
plaudits of the crowd.
The home drive is on!
Full List of Wheat

Howard Heinz, state food admin
istrator, is notifying Pennsylvania
farmers to market their surplus
stocks of potatoes immediately, for

his department to assist farmers in

; otates to sell should communicate

Dauphin County Sabbath
School Closes Sessions
The Dauphin County Sabbath
School Association last evening
i closed its last conference and eon-
Ixcntion of the twenty districts in
the United Brethren Church, Pen-
I brook. The Lyric Club, composed
! entirely of women, led in the mu
) ideal program. The principal ad
i dresses were by W. D. Reel, Phila
j delphia, state superintendent of the
i Home Department; C. P. Haehnlen,
!of Hummelstown , county superin
! tendent of the Home Department;
and Mrs. H. D. Jackson, of Progress,
I county superintendent of the Ele
i mentary Department. The newly
i elected district officers are nearly the
! same as served last year.
' At the regular monthly meeting
, of the county executive committee,
; held in this city yesterday, H. How
jard Hoy, of Millersburg; James W.
! Barker, of Harrisburg; C. P.
Haehnlen, of Hummelstown; Mrs.
) H. D. Jackson, of Progress, and Mrs.
! Harry Motter, of Harrisburg, were

Messrs. Henry C. Demming. of
; Harrisburg;' C. P. Haehnlen, of
I Mimmelstown, and Miss Bertha A.
i Jacks, also of Hummelstown, were
j appointed a committee to confer
: with Hie Hershey District Associa
tion relative to the place of meet
| :ng, entertainment of delegates, mu
j sic and all other local matters.
Miss Nellie Buffington, Elizabeth
j ville, was chosen missionary sutfer-
I intendeni of the county, vice J. Gil

The toal enrollment in the Sun
! day schools of the county now ex
; ceeds 72,000, or a little over 52 per
i cent, of the entire population.
District No. 11, Wieonisco and
I surrounding territory, now has 100
per cent, enrollment in both the
Elementary and Cradle Roll Depart
ments, the champion district in the
| county in these respects.
GERMANS MASS BIG
ARMY FOR ATTACKS
[Continued from First Page.]
' Ancre rivers, almost directly east of
| Amiens.
It is not improbable that the Ger
; mans may attack simultaneously the
: British lines in Flanders and those
j directly north of the Somme in an
| effort to wipe out the strong Arras
j position. Field Marshal Haig has
I held stubbornly to the Arras sector
for a month and his line south of
; Albert has fought off numerous en
; emy attacks since the first week of
j the offensive movement. South of
the Somme the German artillery fire
! continues strong on the Montdidier-
Noyon sector.
Airmen Drop Bombs
Anglo-French airmen are harass
ing the enemy by- dropping many
tons of bombs on his military estab
l;shments behind both battlefronts.
In aerial fighting thirty-seven Ger
man airplanes have been accounted
for by allied aviators.
The Germans have not repeated :
their attack on the American lines j
east of St. Mihiel. General Per- i
shins is understood to have reported j
to Washington that the American ,
casualties in Saturday's brisk fight |
exceeded 200 and that those of the ;
enemy were between 800 and 400.
Fighting operations in Macedonia,
although evidently not on a large
scale, are quite active. British Ser
bian, French and Italian troops have
been engaged with the enemy on the
front between Monastir and Doiran.
At Ventrenik the Serbians captured
a position from the Bulgarians and
held it against a counterattack. The
allied artillery has been firing heav
ily on the enemy positions.
Dutch Get Ultimatum
Relations between Holland and
Germany are again reported near
the breaking point and the situa
tion is said to be looked upon with
anxiety in official circles in London.
Rumors are current in the Brit
ish capital that Holland has been
served by Germany with a demand !
approaching an ultimatum. The
Dutch press is becoming uneasy re
garding Germany's attitude toward
the smaller country.

The police department in addition
predicted that the influx .of disor
derly characters here will be increas
ed by the cleanup measures being
taken in Philadelphia. Two men
were picked up last night on suspi

thefts is also Riving the department
much concern.

Magazines and books are urgently
needed by the local Red Cross for
distribution among the soldiers in
troops trains passing through Har

morning at Red Cross headquarters
says. The magazines are used by the
canteen committee of the Harris
