methods of the Germans in attempt- j

according to a Russian government j
wireless message received here. Dis- j

other provisions. The landowners |
were declared to be outcasts.
Twenty thousand peasants attempt

deadly resistance. Towns and vil

ALL NEWS OF
JOENATHANSON
IN HARRISBURG
Veteran Pennsy Interpreter
Here to Meet Folks From
Foreign Shores
Joseph Nathanson. the veteran in
terpreter of the Pennsylvania rail
road was in Harrisburg last night.
He was here on official duties, th<?
first time in many weeks. Before the
war Interpreter Nathanson was a
daily visitor to Harrisburg, looking
after immigrants. Now foreigners
come to this country only at inter
vals. A large mimber of foreigners
were expected during last night. The
Pennsy veteran said:
"Before the war they came from
the east and by train loads. Now all
foreigners come to the United States
the other way. landing at San Fran
cisco and other ports along the Pa
cific coast. There is quite a num
ber coming to this country from ports
in Japan.
Mostly Women and Children
"They are mostly women and chil
dren who have been fortunate in
making their way to Japan and get
ting transportation to the United
States. They represent a class who
lost everything through the war, and
have relatives here. They are a good
class of people, and will be found
industrious once they get settled.
"Quite a number of these foreign
ers have a little money after reach
ing here. It is not often that many
get east of Chicago just now. West
ern people are taking them on vari
ous kinds of work. You will find in
the west many women working on
farms this year. They will be as
valuable as the men in this kind of
work. Many have had experience in
their country in tilling soil. With the
scarcity of farm help and the need
for workers in other branches, these
immigrants will prove valuable citi
zens."

TRAIN DIRECTOR,
NEW P.R. R. JOB
Will Be Inaugurated This
Week; Three Men Will
Direct All Traffic
Train director is a new office es
tablished by the Philadelphia divi
sion of the Pennsy in this city. There
will be three of them, and they will
,be located in the big signal and
switch tower at the foot of Market
street. Train directors are expected
to prove a big aid in handling
promptly the several hundred trains
moving daily in and out of the Penn
sylvania Railroad station. With the
appointment this week of three di
rectors, the new office will be inaug
urated.
Each director will work eight
hours and his duties will be to as
sign the various trains to places un
der the big sheds and will direct
all trains east and westbound.
For their accommodation an ad
dition has been built to the big
tower. They will have telephone
connections with the office of the
train dispatcher and the stationmas
ter.
Relief For StationiiiaMcr
Heretofore this work has been in
charge of the stationmaster and his
assistants. With trains arriving
from all directions at the same time
it has been a difficult task to assign
the various trains and there have
been delays in the yards until a
track is cleared for each train.
Stationmasterts have also been re
quired to chase from one end of the i
station to another in order to avoid
any delays. Now they will be re
quired to look after the movement
of trains after they have been load
ed only, baggage and mail trans
ferred and the signal given that the
block is ready for train movement.
With the rush of war traffic, much
of which is now being cared for by
express companies, and the transfer
of soldiers to the various ports, the
number of trains have greatly in
creased.
Famine Stalks in
Petrograd; No Food
in Market or Shops
London, May 21.—A dispatch to the
London Times, dated Petrograd,
'April 30. says:
"The famine in Petrograd is be
j coming positively alarming. There Is
practically no food in the markets
|or in the shops. Two-thirds, if not
I more, of the latter are permanently
| closed for want of goods o"f all
kinds, besides foodstuffs. There is
,no flour, no sugar, no potatoes,
j cheese or milk, no grain or groats
. and very little meat. The principal
j necessaries of life have to be got.
• when possible, through friends and
I chance acquaintances at enormous
I cost if you have money to pay for
| them, or its meager rations doled out
by the authorities and absolutely in
! adequate for subsistence. The pres
\ ent ration of indigestible black
bread, half baked, with much mois
ture as possible left in it to increase
its weight, is one-eighth of a pound
per day, and often that is not forth
coming on account of the hopeless
disorder and universal thieving habit.
"Relatives and dependants rob one
another of food without compunc
tion. Hunger has no conscience. If
a morsel of anything is left on the
plate for later consumption, it will
disappear as soon as you turn your
back. Every scrap has to be put un
der lock and key after each meal.
"Prices are quite fabulous. Hams
are offered at £4(l and £6O each, liu*-
ter costs 42 shillings a pouno,
cheese, 36 shillings a pound; white
flour, 30 shillings a pound; eggs, 3
shillings apiece; carrots, 5 shillings
a pound; jrfitatoes, 6 shillings a
pound. With the exception of occa
sional limited sales, most of these
articles can only be obtained pri
vately." .

What Other Medi
cines Failed to Do"
Says Mr. J. R. Cumberland.
Well Known Chain-Worker
"When I started to take Tonall I i
was nearly a physical wreck," say.4 L
Mr. J. R. Cumberland, of 257 East
Prospect Street, York, Pa. "I was
so weak and nervous 1 could hardly
. do a day's work. I had no appetite
and was so constipated that I had
" to take a laxative every day. I was
becoming weaker and was losing .
weight right along. 1 could not sleep,
only just doze off for a few minuten „
I at a time. I read so much about
Tonall and the many difference "
• herbs, roots and barks It contains
and the small amount of alcohol. "■
• that I though I would try it and now
I am glad I did. The results 1 have
obtained from its use have been most
wonderful indeed! I have gained
strength and weight; my appetite is
" good, I sleep soundly, my bowels ate
in tine shape and I feel better in T _
" every respect than I have for years. v
~ My work is a pleasure instead of a
task, and I was only too glad to rec
'• ommend Tonall."
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
' Store. Harrisburg, where its merits
i will be explained by the Tonall
chemist, also at Hershey's Drug
Store, Hershey, Pa-
