Washington, April 30.—The Ger

against Alsace-Lorrainers. according
to a Basle diplomatic dispatch yes

"Last Friday," the dispatch stat
ed, "the chief committee of the
Reichstag discussed the regulations
sent out by the military authorities
for the purpose of preventing the
giving to any Alsatians or Lorrainers
positions where they might gather
important information.
"Deputy Groeder, of the Center
party, having declared that he did
not consider this action as good pol

Insisted upon the necessity of taking
precautions against the Alsatians
and Lorrainers, as many pass into
the enemy camp and give out infor

the cause of serious losses in the
German army.
"He declared that before consid

leaders ought to think of protecting
the soldiers' lives. The imperial gov

publicly that the Alsatians and Lor
rainers do not consider themselves
Germans and that it cannot keep
them as Germans.
"Sentences of natives of the dis

French are common. They could be
noted every week."

"We want a Bond Flag in every

With these words the chairmen of
the district, county and city this
morning constituted every resident
a Liberty Bond worker to finally
drive the Harrisburg district safely
beyond its quota. Liberty Bond work

quotas or returns this week. Harris

have been sold. Figures will be

themselves over the top to-morrow

headquarters this morning. Hum

that she has raised $104,000, and it
is now only a question of time when
she will jump over the mark fixed

of a $2,000 subscription.
"Have a heart, I have ?;übscribed"

'HEAVY TOLL EXACTED
OF HUN MASSES

the region of Locre the Germans are making their heaviest strokes
j but each assault has been thrown back brilliantly. Especially
bitter is the fighting in and around the villages of Voormezeele
' and Locre which still are held by the British and French.
Huns Meet With No Success
From the 12-mile front between Bailleul and Zillcbcke the
enemy has extended his attacks to the north of Ypres against the
Belgians along the Yscr. But he is meeting with no more success
here than elsewhere in Flanders, the Belgians hurling the Germans
from positions they had occupied by counterattacks.
Ypres is yet to be attacked
directly from the east, but from the
intensity of the enemy assaults south
and south wast it is evident the Ger
mans desire most to take the hill
positions west of Mont Kemmel. To
hold these hills would not only
menace the entire allied position in
Flanders and eastward toward Dun
kirk but would virtually compel the
evacuation of Ypres.
Plan Flank Movement
German progress westward from
Voormezeele would, if carried to
any depth, outflank the hill posi
tions west of Mont Kemmel which
must be taken separately. The at
tacks against the French at Locre
are an attempt to get between Scher
penberg and Mont Rouge and out
flank them as was done at Mont
Kemmel. Held by the French at
Locre, the Germans are essaying
frontal attacks against Scherpen
berg and Mont Rouge but these
also have been disastrous.
On the Picardy battlefield, where
American, British and French troops
await the next enemy move, only the
artillery has been active. The Ger
mans have not repeated their local

agers and boards of health are join

Clean up! Clean up! is to be the
slogan.
The American Civic Association
through its president, J. Horace Jlc-
Farland, has suggested many com
munities might well combine with
their clean-up program a salvage
program and that the earnings from
the salvage be devoted to the Red
Cross or other war charity. Tin foil,
brass, lead, copper, iron, old rubber
shoes and boots, automobile tires
and inner tubes, discarded newspa
pers and magazines, bottles, cold
cream jars and in some communities
burlap and gunny sacking, white
rags and separated mixed rags are
the things most likely to be found.
During "Clean-up ' Week"' thousands
of dollars' worth of material may be
salvaged and made to serve public
organizations organized for our boys
who are fighting in France.

Italy's First Girl Skipper,
Signorina Elise Belluomini
Paris.—Elise Belluomini. a pretty
Italian girl, whose home is at Via
reggiq, enjoys the honor of being
the first regularly appointed captain
in her country's merchant marine.
Her dreams as a child followed
the picturesque sailing ships, which
she watched from the outpost beside
the blue Tyrrhenian Sea, and grad
ually her musings transformed
themselves into a determination to
become a sailor.
The good folks of Viareggio look
ed askance at her when she first
spoke of her resolution, and the old
er and more superstitious of the pop
ulation did not hesitate to declare
her possessed by the devil.
Persisting in her idea, however,
Elise gained the ear of a veteran sea
captain, through whose Intermedi
ary she obtained a recommendation
to the naval authorities at Leghorn
and eventually she was allowed to
follow the course at the Nautical
College.
The girl made astonishingly rap
id progress in her studies, mastering
easily the most complicated prob
lems of navigation, and she has just
obtained her captain's certificate.
Signorina Belluomini relates her
success in a letter to a Paris cor
respondent, and seems to have to
doubt of her ability to inspire confi
dence in her crew. She writes;
"Where shall Ibd sent? Ido not
I know, but I am ready for every
| thing. I join the marine in troubled
i times, and I know seamen risk their
I lives every day.

Teutons Get But Little
Wheat Out of Russia
WaslUngton.—Failure of the wheat
i crop In European Russia this year is
forecast in reports on food conditions
there which have reached Washing
ton.
The planting of this year's crop
was limited to a small acreage, as
compared with previous years. Be
cause of unsettled conditions and the
risk of confiscation the peasants
have declined to plant grain in nor
mal quantities, or even in sufficient
amounts in many instances to meet
l their own needs.
Both the German and Austrian
; armies have met with disappoint
ment In efforts to find wheat in quali
ties in Russia. Such portions of the
crop of last year as still remained
were burled by the peasants before
the coming of the armies of occupa
tion.
Austrian government officials said
recently that only thirty cars of
wheat had been brought into the
dual monarchy from Russia.
Foch Lauds American
Soldiers; Fight Gallantly
New York, April 30.—A cable
gram from General Foch. command
ing the allied armies on the western
front, was received here today by
Benjamin Strong, chairman of the
Liberty Loan Committee of the New
York Federal Reserve district. It
reads:
"With magnificent ardor America

Xcw York, April 30. —"Oh, bov,

One of Pershing's veterans he
was, a veteran fully 19 years old,
who had been gassed and bombed
and shelled In France. Tin hat
on the back of his head, gun
slung from his shoulder, brown
of face and lean with the lean
ness that means steel muscles and
nerves inside, he swung easily
along with his forty-nine compan
ions up Broadway to the City
Hall.
And as he walked he looked
from side to side where people
stood on the sidewalks and jam
med into the streets, stood on
tiptoe and yelled and waved their
handkerchiefs and hats or nearly
fell from the windows of big office
buildings to get a glimpse of him
below, for as far as the eye could
see over the sills were heads
shouting welcome. The boy look
ed at them and then grinned, a
slow, pleased, utterly happy grin.
"Oh. boy, but thi? is God's
country," he said again.

FOR SORE THROAT,
COLO ON CHEST
Mustarine Subdues the Infla
mation and Eases the Sore
ness Quicker Than Any
thing Else on Earth
Pay only 25 cents and get a big box
of Begy's Mustarine which is the
original substitute for the old-fash
ioned mustard plaster and is made of
strong, real, yellow mustard —no sub
stitutes are used.
It's known as the quickest pain
killer on earth, for in hundreds of in
stances it stops headache, neuralgia,
toothache, earache and backache in 5
minutes.
It's a sure, speedy remedy—none
better for bronchitis, pleurisy, lum
bago, and to draw the inflammation
from your sore feet there is nothing
so good. You get real action with
Mustarine —it goes after pain and
kills it right oft the reel. Yes, it
burns, but it won't blister—it does
n't give agonizing pain a slap on the
wrist. It does give it a good, healthy
punch in the jaw—it kills pain.

To Harrisburg Dyspep
"Try Rl-nmlm If It Domn't Help You
—lf You Aren't I'lfiUfd—lt fonts
Nothing; I'll See Thnt You (iet
Your Money Back."
"No matter how bad your case may
be; how long you may have suffered;
or how many things you have tried,
If you suffer from acidity, gas, wind,
food fermentation, sour stomach, or
any form of indigestion or dyspepsia
due thereto, we want you to try Bl
nesla. It's not a cure all. It contains
no drastic or dangerous drugs—but It
gives such quick and universal satis
faction that every package contains a
guarantee of money back if it fails,
and we stand back of that guaran
tee."
Here's the way to look at It: You
may have spent hundreds of dollars
trying to get relief, but without
avail Your money Is gone and you
cannot get it back. All you have to
show for your time, pain and money
is a receipted bill. Then try Bl
nesln. The chances are about 95 out
of 100 that it will help you; but if it
doesn't you get your money back. Bl-

CROWDER ASKS
THAT YOUTHS OF
21 BE MOVED UP
House Would Delay Calling
Young Men For Service
in the War
By Associated Press
Washington, April 30.—Provost
Marshal General Crowder to-day re
quested Congress to eliminate irom
the bill extending the draft to youths
now 21 years of age, the amend
ment putting at the bottom of the
eligible list those who would register
under the measure and asked that
the bill basing draft oiuotas on the
number of men in class 1 be amend
ed to make its operation retroactive.
General Crowder made this re
quest in letters to the chairmen of
the Senate and House military com
mittees. Of the proposal to put the
new registrants at the bottom of the
list of eiigibles General Crowder
said:
Proposes Fairer Plan
"The plan proposed by this office
would result in these registrants be-*
ing given order numbers scattered
throughout the entire lists of order
numbers. This seems to be fairer
than the plan proposed by the
amendment. The result of the House
amendment in many jurisdictions
will be to delay the calling of theso
young men for a considerable tinv.
In the meantime their status will
have changed, they will have mar
ried or become integrated with the
industries of the country.
"Moreover, it establishes a prece
dent, provided aliens are registered
under the provisions of the new leg
islation based upon treaties to be
negotiated."
