Opposition Crumbles What opposition there was In the House when the bill came from the Senate began to crumble, and hard ly was in evidence. Several amend ments to limit the powers proposed for the President were voted down with little debate. A proposal to exempt the Inter state Commerce Commission, offered by Representative Walsh, of Massa chusetts, Republican, was' defeated, 123 to 87, and one by Representa tive Longworth, of Ohio, Republican, to exempt the War Finance Cor poration and the Capital Issues Committee, was rejected, 109 to 61.

IN THE PRUSSIAN DIET TEST EQUAL SUFFRAGE LOSES Lower House Rejects Motion to Restore Clause to Reform Rill Amsterdam, May 15. —The Prus sian lower House has rejected a motion to restore the provision for equal suffrage in the Prussian Fran chise Reform bill. The motion was rejected by a vote of 236 to 185, on paragraph three of the bill. Advices from Berlin say it is evi dent tlie German government does not intend to come to any decision regarding the dissolution of the Prussian Diet until the suffrage bill returns from the upper House, three weeks from now. The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung points out that the lower House then will have to vote again on the bill. The newspaper says that the question whether the lower House at that time will take a dif ferent view as the result of the di vision reached by the upper House cannot be discussed to-day with detiniteness. On the third reading of the bill in the lower House Monday. Herr Friedberg, vice-president of the Min istry of State, said the government was inclined to an adjustment on the basis of equal suffrage, within certain limits, and adduced as proof of this the statement that the gov ernment agreed to the "safeguard ing" motions. (It has been charged that at least some of these "safeguarding" pro posals have been advanced by oppo nents of the whole measure with the idea of negativing the reforms.) On a vote taken upon the "safe guarding" motions proposed by the Center party these were rejected. In his remarks Herr Friedberg de clared that if the bill were rejected that would not end the matter, but the real drama would then begin. The bill concerning the composi tion of the upper House was accept ed as a whole. Another Telegraph Man Enlists For War Service • - '-- - RAT D. SNOW Hay D.

BLUE DEVILS OWN CITY AND HEART OF EVERY CITIZEN Principal Figure at Greatest of War Meetings Yet Held in Harrisburg The great nation of Prance walked I into the heart of America last night byway of Harrisburg. Swarthy, sun-kisscd. robust, debonnaire, 100 "Blue Devils," wedged on boarded terraces of the Chestnut Street Hall stage, banked against a white back ground, with an aura of Allied flags above them, convinced the capital city of Pennsylvania that other na tions have just as brave and fine men as the United States. From ev ery eye of the multitude and of the valiant warriors, each of them cov ered with wounds and decorations for valor, there flashed a spirit of universal love and determination that even the cruel Kaiser might have appreciated. It was the near est approach to actual battle scenes and atmosphere that many will en joy, and Harrisburg realized its op portunity with a deluge of song and vociferous applause, not forgetting some genuine tears when a slim, modest, eloquent woman, "Pound-a- Minute" Kathleen Burke, pleaded for the Bed Cross cause with sobs in her dulcet voice. Vast hope and cheerfulness marked the gathering. Any egg, staunch, loyal and passed by the censor, can be properly deviled, but it is safe to say that no community in history, except, perhaps, ancient Edmonton in England, was ever so thoroughly be-bluedeviled. The very moment of the French men's early arrival was a signal for all hands to polish up its "Parlez vous" and by noon many uncommon ly impressionable persons imagined they were in gay Paree. The fire and vigor of the veterans, their light notion of the Germans as fight ers, their supreme confidence that America will help wipe up the earth with the Hun so gingered up the populace that Mercer B. Tate last night gave many vivid illustrations of going over the top, having the orchestra so alarmed that it skipped a couple bases in following the com munity singing. Abner Hartman, song leader, quite outdid him, his sturdy figure curled up into knots as he vaulted altitud inously in his efforts to encourage the audience to "hit 'er up." So im pregnated was the neighborhood with French that when headquarters asked the fat cop who had worked three hours overtime if he wished to be relieved he moaned gently over the phone: "Seel volplane," meaning "if you please." When the "Blue Devils" were pa rading. Chestnut Street Hall and Re formcd Salem Church tilled to the brim with the intelligence and pa triotism of our city. Mr. Hartman waited not to launch the song pro gram and there must have been some really fine harmony, for he congrat ulated his chorus, time 'and again. The chorus of "Old Black Joe" went better than any one other lilt. The soloists were Mrs. Cox and George Sutton, with an improvised orches tra and the Commonwealth Band. Temporary Chairman W. T. Hil drup introduced Jesse E. B. Cunning ham as the one to preside and he first called on Lieutenant Le Moal, Eleventh Battalion, Fourth Regiment of Zouaves. While this hero spoke fairly good English, he was not a man of many words and may have been slightly disconcerted by Mer cer B. Tate, who cut loose a "trench spring" at the psychological moment and called for three rousing cheers. He surely got them, and the exhale of roars made everyone feel caster except the African warrior, who. however, expressed his sentiments briefly and from the heart. "This reception is the nicest we have had in America," he began, and he had to wait until Harrisburg un corked for that compliment. Every body again rose up to cheer when he finished with the assurance that the Allies would win, and a critic In the pressbox, who had upped and downed twelve times, had to pinch himself to make sure he was not in an Episcopal service. Chairman Cunningham then intro duced Miss Burke, telling something of her extraordinary career and work in the trenches. Sent to Verdun by the French government in the height of that fray, she won the name from General Petain of "Little One of Verdun." She was the first woman permitted to visit the French front line. and has the record of raising $2,000,000 in America for war reliefs in a very short time. Her sympa thetic voice and utter seriousncus caught the huge audience as with magic. Owe I.lberty to Them "Owing to these men." she waved to the "Blue Devils," "we can say we are free women and not slaved to-day. "Speaking lightly of her honors and decorations, she declared they were no tribute whatever com pared to the honor of speaking for the American Red Cross. She preached that there should be no ad jective In front of Bed Cross, that it should be international, and from this statement went on to show that this organization can make a united world. She spoke of the pacifists In Eng land, one of whom at a great meet ing declared. "My friends, we paci fists are so few we must hang to gether." "The sooner the better," yelled a British Tommy In the audience. Miss Burke unmercifully lashed the German nation as she saw It murder and outrage with her own eyes. "The only peace that Kngland ian accept," she assured, "Is to crush the scourge of militarism." One of the most stirring narratives was that of the arrival of the first American Red Cross forces in strick en Italy. It appears that. Italy was just on the 'point of giving In to German demands when aid camo in this fashion. ' Thank God for Amer ica." she quoted the Italians as breathing fervently. The enormous responsibility of the man at home was emphasized by Miss Burke, who brought n message from Ftigland saying, "Tell America that when we go Into Berlin seventy-live per cent, of that victory will depend upon the attitude of or° terday pledged Coats For Summer: Special Values at S2O ana himself to buy a war Black and navy poplin and serge coats made In Poriet twill, serge and Burella cloth coats in tan, a plaited back finished with a broad belt trim- naw, Band and black, made with a gathcred savings Stamp for large patch pockets and cape collar of pongee med with self covered buttons; double collar of g ju ; $27.50 each of the remain self material and sflk $20.00 Tweed, wool velour and homespun coats made Burella, serge and poplin coats in navy, Pekin, with a box plaited back, plain front finished with j n ,T months of 1918. tan and black, made in a belted style with large a narow belt, convertible collar and deep cuffs of cape collar of self material and plaid silk $25.00 self material $35.00 This man fought Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Second Floor. with Roosevelt at DesirableWoolßemnantsintheThursdaySale Sa ' 47 ' proudest memories iValues That Will Soon Be Unknown Are Offered are of his old rcgi- JJ The lengths are suitable for waists, coats and dresses and the materials include such ment, the lighting staple weaves as poplins, broadcloth, Santoy, Bonnet plaids, serge and tricotinc. „ R Choose from grey, green, navy, brown, checks and black. lUtn, L. . . \egu- Colored Dress Goods day*on* r^ M .' sses '. 8Ult . in .

The latt speech was made by Cor poral Omerod, a former newspaper man of Washington, a I'ershlng vet eran, who held the multitude with a ringing, blazing few words that hit the spot. "This is your war," he told. "You are not fighting for any body else. That's what we think over there. The happiest men In the world to-day are the Americans In the front trenches. It is not a case of hold on; It is a case of holding them back. If you want to see us again, give liberally to keep up the supplies. \\'n won't come home until we win. We're not going to quit this light until somebody's licked, and licked good and plenty." Thousands lined the streets early in the evening to witness the pa rade from the Civic Club to the hall.
