4 DRY FEDERATION TO WORK HARD FOR PROHIBITION Suburban Towns to Have Big Meetings on National Question With the primaries only one week oil, the Dauphin County Ratification Committee is hard at work to pro mote the tight of candidates pledged to back the national prohibition amendment, both on the Republican and Democratic tickets. A house-to hou9<) canvass of voters on the eve °f the nimaries, a monster demon stration against John Barleycorn and a series of meetings throughout the county in the interests of the "dry'' candidates constitute part of the jrogram which they will exe cute. • Much attention is being paid by officials of the committee to the work of organization that a higher degree of efficiency might be at tained. To bring this about, the co ordination of various church federa tions in county boroughs has been secured. Plans are now being made for the house-to-house canvass and details are being arranged for the big oarade on the eve of election as an anti-booze demonstration. Meetings in the interest of the "dry" candidates are being arranged for the entire county, but as yet final arrangements have been made only for those meetings in the lower end. Each of the county meetings will be addressed by prominent county anti-saloon workers, after which organizations will be formed to work during the week in the in terest of the candidates. The first t\.o of these meetings will be held this evening at Oberlin and at En haut. The Oberlin meeting will be held in the Citizens' fire-engine house and the Enhaut meeting for Enhaut and Bressler will be held in the Gooodwill enginehouse. These meet ings, as all of the evening meetings will. start at 8 o'clock. The schedule for the remainder of the week follows: Steelton, First Reformed Church, Wednesday evening; Penbrook, Unit ed Brethren Church, Thursday even ing; Royalton, United Brethren Church, Thursday evening; Hum melstown, Star Theater, Friday even ing; Highspire, in front of Dr. Mc- Daniels' residence. Friday evening, and Middletown, Sunday afternoon. War Made in Germany but Peace Will Be Made in U.S. As a preliminary to the approach ing Red Cross drive, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York City, deliver ed a stirring address to members of the executive committee of the Har risburg Red Cross Society at a meet ing in the Chestnut street auditorium last evening. His talk dealt with many phases of the great world war, but particu lar attention was paid to the splen did work being done by the Red Cross Society along every battlefront and in every camp and cantonment. Characterizing each oversubscription to any war fund as another shot at Kaiser Bill Hohenzollern, Rabbi Wise said that he had no doubt that Harrisburg would again show its in tense patriotism by subscribing and oversubscribing its quota in the. cam paign as it has done in every war campaign to date. Speaking more generally, the Rab bi said "we have spent millions in the prosecution of the war and we •have sent more than 500,000 men to France, but we will spend a million times as many millions and send five million men to France instead of 500,000 rather than see one German foot remain to defile the sacred soil of France or Belgium. The war was made in Germany," he added, "but the peace will be concluded in the United States."

Holmes, of this city, a witness, credited the reports to u j man named H. J. Grossley. Holmes, jas a broker, tried to buy the rifles, ] I but was unsuccessful, he said. Dur-j ins the negotiations Grossley told . him that some one million rifles had | been imported from Essen via the i Hoboken docks of two German! steamship companies, and were to i be used in the United States if the Germans were successful in the English Channel ports. Mr. Holmes identified a copy of a j letter written by himself offering to > sell one million Spanish Mausers and , cne million cartridges. The letter, j dated June 9, 1917, was addressed' to Dr. Thomas Darlington, of New] York, former health commissioner. ! j Holmes testified he had never seen i ! the articles, but had talked with an i engineer named Francis L. Judd, I who said he had seen boxrs contain j ing 280,000 rifles. Two months ago, I j Holmes said, the United States tried j to buy them but they were not pro | duced. Holmes had been in touch I with United States officials through out the negotiations, he said. Lussing Has Secret Gustav Lussing was named by Holmes the the man who was said by various intermediaries to be able to deliver the goods. Judd told Holmes the rifles had been in an Last Side warehouse in New York and had been removed, but were within an automobile ride of an hour amd a half from Broadwav. CTharles H. Murray, a hotel owner Z * Washington, D. C., testified he had heard of the existence of the rifles through a Russian agent., Ivan >.orodny, who claimed they had been taken to an upstate New York farm and that he had shot one of them himself. Norodyn said Lussing had a farm at Woodbury Palls and that a party of German officers, including Captain Hans Tauseher. had visited t after dining at the German Club in New \ork. Through Norodnv, Murray met Lussing and was shown an itemized statement of the quan nnn °*/ es hid(J en. as follows: 450.- ?nn n<w> aUSe ui 250 00 °-000 cartridges, 100,000 carbines. 1.000 rounds cart ridges, 1,000,000 rifles. 600 machine guns. Lussing, according to the witness, said they were stored in fortv dif ferent places in the United States. *°t> er t T- Tucker, a tanner, of Charleston, S. C„ testified of hearing of the rifles through his acquaint- ? n .S. e th Russians in business. Judd told Tucker, he said, he had seen cannon and rifles at a warehouse in Brooklyn. According to the wit ness a New York lawyer finally told him the rifles had been sold. . " r am thoroughly convinced tha those rifles are in this country and that Lussing knows where thev are" said Tucker at the close of his exam ination.
