I'ed Cross workers during the past week conducted a census of in i sons in the town on an employ ui( lit basis. This will be used in thf present and other campaigns. 1 'f the money to be raised, half goes to the Red Cross, SB,OOO to Y. M. iA. and Y. W. C. A. war work, $4,000 to the Carlisle Hospital and the rest apportioned in varyini? amounts to meet all war funds and local "calls. There is an emergency fund of $2,500 to remain after the b idget is complete. | Tornado-Windstorm Insurance i A* j > | Can You Afford to Lose Your Property ? ;!; Din THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOIiLARS . •;> "'l* WORTH OF PROPERTY REVERTS INTO A ,j, i MASS OF DEBRIS IN THE TWINKLING Ol j;!

Harrisburj* Railways Company SENATORS FIND ORDNANCE WORK AT HIGH PITCH Official Visitors to Bethlehem and Midvale Are Pleased With Production WoalitnKton, May 18. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chairman of the subcommittee of the Senate Mil itary Affairs Committee to inspect ordnance production, upon his re turn from a visit to the Midvale and Bethlehem plants, in Pennsylvania, declared that production in these es tablishments of guns for the Gov ernment was about reaching the peak. He said that he was greatly impressed with the complete organ ization, especially at Bethlehem, which he asserted has exceeded his expectations in vastness and multi plicity of production. "The committee is satisfied that everything that human ingenuity can do is now being exerted by both em ployes and labor to produce guns on the western front." he said. "Of course, these plants are from three to four months behind in what the committee has' been promised. Tt was because of this situation, the de lay in production, trhat the commit tee determined upon a personal in spection of the plants and the pro duction going on there. The War Department kept Informing us that the plants were capable to produce what they had contracted to do. The mills, on the other hand, said that they were hampered by the constant changing of specifications and were not able to proceed after the con tracts had formally been awarded. "We are satisfied that there were many changes in specifications by the Ordnance Department which militat ed against normal production. Some of the plants had labor troubles and were unable to get prompt delivery of materials. No changes have been made in specifications since February last. Transportation facilities are now up to a standard and as a con sequence these two plants have reached the point where they can proceed at maximum production. "At Midvale we found that the first eight-inch guns had been shipped this week and that others will fol low in great quantities. Conditions there are very good and from *vhat we saw we were led to the conclu sion that this plant will be able to produce its maximum in a very short time. "At Bethlehem they are now turn ing out 123 three-inch guns a month. The maximum production is 125. As soon as the contract this firm has with the British Government is fin ished, in another week, work will begin making nine-inch'guns for this country." Different Version WnxlilnKtoii, May IS.—Government operation of the steel mills' of the country may be sought if the joint steel committee appointed yesterday representing the War Industrie* Board and the American Iron and Steel Institute fails to agree on steps to increase production for Gov ernment and the Allies' needs and re strict nonwar consumption. Chairman Baruch and his chief aids. J. Leonard Replogle, director of steel supply, and Alexander Legge, chairman of the requirements divi sion of the War Industries Board, are understood to be prepared to ask President Wilson to take drastic ac tion the moment they are convinced that is the only way to get increased steel production.
