12 ASKS SUPPORT FOR CANDIDATES ON 'DRY' ISSUE Bible Class Told Party Lines Figure in Fight For Prohibition Support for the two candidates for the Legislature on a dry platform, A. Ramsey Black and Dr. G. Willis Hartman. both Democrats, was the subject of an earnest address before the Men's Bible class of Derry Street X.'nited Brethren Church yesterday by O. P. Beckley, who was very ac tive in handling the recent parade under the auspices of the Dauphin County Ratification Committee. Aft er complimenting the men of this class for their efforts Mr. Beckley declared: "The time is past xvhen men sin cerely for prohibition can refuse to vote for dry men because they may happen to be of a different political faith. Politics have ceased to cut a figure in this right. It is solely qne of principle, and I repeat that all men and all forces of whatever party, pledged to support none but dry men, must refuse to support such candi dates as have not come out squarely for the National Prohibition amend ment. "The time has come in Pennsyl vania when principle is more im portant than party. While the Rati fication Committee was not success ful in having dry men nominated on both the Democratic and Republican tickets, thank God two men —as tine as ever came before the voters of Harrisburg for support —pledged to support prohibition, were named by the Democratic party." Railways Company Will Continue Investigation of Saturday's Acccident Officials of the Harrisburg Rail vays Company to-day continued their investigations of the accident in South Cameron street. Saturday after noon. when a truck owned by the Steel ton and Harrisburg Transfer Company and driven by E. E. Fiese crashed in to the front end of a north-bound Steelton car at the "font of the ap proach to the Mulberry Street Bridge. The truck was loaded with members of the Sparrows Point baseball team. Fiese was taken to the police sta tion and was released from custody when he explained that the brakes on the truck did not hold as he was going down the Incline. A witness appearing In his behalf said that he pushed the brakes too hard and caus ed the truck to skid into tl* front •nd of the street car. which at the time was moving slowly, preparatory to making a stop. The.machine was running so fast that to make the turn Fiese had to run onto the track on the far side of Cameron street. Thomas W. Towson. manager of the ball team, in a signed statement given to the railways company, said in part: "The driver was Apparently under the influence of intoxicants and he at tempted to make a turn south, and instead turned into a street car run ning north." In another statement. Albert L. Emling, a member of the team, said the street car was "just about moving." At the police station Ihe police liief said that thf driver ••f the truck, by the time he arrived there, gave no evide>nce of being un •lor the influence of intoxicants." Banker Catches 8-Pound Trout, 27 Inches Long, After 40-Minute Battle Slate College, Pa.. May 27. W. L. Tester, president of the First Na tional Bank of State College, caught the largest trout ever lured from the waters of Central Pennsylvania.

Railroad Officials to Consolidate For Traffic Twenty-five official* of the rail road* of northeastern and central Pennsylvania, including representa tives from the office of Superintend ent Alllbone, at Sunbury. met at Wllkes-Barre for the purpose of dis cussing plans for the consolidation of all freight traffic carried by the roads in that section of the state. The Lehigh Valley railway. Pennsyl vania. Delaware and Hudson. Jersey Central and Philadelphia were rep resented. Those in attendance proposed the consolidation of freight traffic in Wllkes-Barre at one central point, or, if this cannot be accomplished, a consolidation of this traffic to move over one line into Sunbury and to j have egress by another trunk line. \ All Pennsylvania railroad engines 1 in Wllkes-Barre are to use the Le- 1 high Valley roundhouse and thus | much motive power will be saved. The eastern end of the Sunbury divi sion of the Pennsylvania railroad will be operated entirely on the I<e high Valley tracks and under Le high Valley supervision. Final action on these plans will be 1 taken shortly so as to prepare : against transportation difficulties | that might recur again this winter. , Locomotive Engineers Elect Chief For Six-Year Term At Cleveland. Saturday, the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers i re-elected Warren S. Stone as their : chief for a term of six years. He | was chosen by acclamation and < unanimous endorsement was given his action in Government matters. | Railroad Notes Richard L. Fultz, a Pennsy brake- j man, 21 years of age, was killed at Cresson Saturday. He was thrown under the train when the couplings broke. Paul Huebner, Reading Railway florist, put out 12.000 plants at lead ing. He :s now working on the Har risburg division. Many of the men employed by the Reading Railway Company, particu larly along the Wilmingjon and Co lumbia division, have gardens along the company's right of way and ex pect to raise all that they will need. j John C. Burns, a retired Pennsy j employe, died at Sunbury Saturday. Tjcket Examiner John A. Brum baugh. of the Pennsy, has returned from a five-day vacation. Harry Griffin, Pennsy usher, is on a ten-day vacation. He has been called to war duty and willJeave next week. Three big trains hauling draft men to training camps were handled by the Pennsy in this city yesterday. The Pennsylvania Railroad Glee t'lub will sing to-night at Camp Hill and will close the concert season at Mifflin, June S. • The Pennsy is running special trains to and from Harrisburg and York to accommodate Marsh Run workmen.

SCHMIDT BAKING PLANTS CLOSED [Continued from first Page.] extenls from May 30 to June 27, inclusive. The three Schmidt plants closed by the Food Admiuistrator's orders are the Acme Baking Company, the Schmidt Baking Company and the Harrisburg Baking Company. Tl\ese three plants supply thousands of loaves of bread to the consuming public in Harrisburg and surround ing towns. The order closing them will serious deplete the daily city supply and may seriously inconven ience the persons dependent on bakers' bread. . To alleviate this condition as much as possible, Schmidt will offer his supplies and help to his com petitors. When seen this afternoon Schmidt issued this statement: "Concerning the order to close, I nothing to say, other than I regret the matter. I am offering my .supplies and help to my competitors in order that the consuming public may suffer the least possible Incon venience." Mr. Schmidt would add nothing to this final statement, refusing to give data concerning the number of loaves he furnished dally to the city and suburban town. When seen this afternoon, other officials of the concern claimed they supply four-fifths of the city re quirements. "We volunteered the information to Federal t administrators," one of the officials said this afternoon, "and after investigation the authorities deemed It .necessar yto close our plant. We were not caught up. We were guilty of a misdemeanor and will take our medicine like men. i We did not violate the food requlre | menu intentionally." . "Wake Up, America," at Chestnut Street Hall Next Monday Evening "Wake Up. America." recently] given before an audience of officials] in Washington, wi'l be delivered in this city at Chestnut Street Hall, Monday evening, June 3, under the auspices of the Chamber of Com merce. The lecture received the ap proval and the hearty commendation of the committee on public informa tion, as well as other high officials. Illustrated by stereopticon slides and moving pictures the lecture de picts the horrors of the German methods of warfare. In striking and piteous contract to American scenes of peaceful industry are shown the battle-torn fields and cities of France and Belgium. The early education of the ruler of Germany is pictured and Bismarck, Von Hindenburg. Bernstorf and oth ers shown, together with schoolchil dren chanting the "Hymn of Hate" and the "Prayers of Vengeance." Maps show the tailroads of Ger many. Then come pictures of HeliFs>- land. the location of the Kiel Canal, the great Krupp works at Essen, and pictures of the German army and navy and then the call to Amerifca, quickening the heart beat and thrill ing the nerves. America awakes and gets into action with characteristic enthusiasm. Harrisburg Lodge of Elks Frowns on German Harrisburg Lodge of Elks has. pass ed resolutions forbidding the use of the German language in the club home and barring the doors of the club to all enemy aliens. Edwin J. Lewis. exalted ruler, to-day caused the following to be posted about, the clubhouse: "BE IT RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this lodge, that the German language be not spoken in or about the home of Harrisburg Lodge. No. 12, B. P. O. Elks, for the duration of the war—and be it further "RESOLVED, That any member of the order w.ho shall introduce an enemy alien, male or female, into the home, shall be made the subject of charges—and be it further "RESOLVED, That notices to this effect shall be placed upon all bulle tin boards within the home, which shall also request all members of the order to perform their patriotic duty and report to the proper Elk author ity. any conversations or actions on the part of any person or persons, which would indicate anything but steadfast wholehearted loyaltv to our country—and be it further "RESOLVED, That as the Benevo lent and Protective Order of Elks, is a truly American Fraternity, Pro- Germanism in any form will not be tolerated within the portals of our home." WANTS TO TAR AND FEATHER PERRV COI'NTV MAN A citizen of the little county of Iferry journeyed all the way from his home to Harrisburg on Sunday to inquire of Mayor Keister at police headquarters for permission to tar and feather a fellow-Perry countian. who refused to buy Liberty Bonds with the statement that: "I have not bought any bonds, nor will I buy any of the damned things in the future." BIG GUNS OPEN FIRE ON PARIS [Continued from First Page.] tlefront as far east as Rheims, taking j in a new sector which has been quiet since last fall. The thrust between | Locre and Voormezeele is along the I northern leg of the Flanders salient. I on a sector measuring eight miles, where the Germans met with i one of the bloodiest defeats of the war when their drive for the chan nel ports was halted last month. The attack between Soissons and Rheims, however, is the distinctive feature of the new German opera tion. This battle is being fought along the sector which usually is re ferred to as the Aisne front, owing to the fact that for a long time the line of battle followed the Aisne riv er. The present battleline runs along the Ailette river, north of the Aisne, over the larger part of this sector, the French having advanced their line.. The front of attack is about forty miles, which is about fifteen miles shorter than the line of the original German attack this spring, on March 21. Hope For .Supreme Attack In turning to a new sector to strike their blow the Germans have taken a course contrary to that which has generally been predicted by military commentators in the last few weeks, during the pause in the operations. The German strategy may contem plate a surprise attack in sufficient strength to compel General Foch to withdraw troops from the north, in the hope of involving the Allies suf ficiently on the Aisne front to weak en their lines in Picardy and Flan ders. Yankees May Be In It If the Germans counted on the ele ment of surprise to assist them in the new attack, they probably have fallen into a miscalculation. It Is evident from the official British statement that new dispositions of troops have been made along the Aisne front. American troops may be taking part in the new battle. Early in the spring there were several references in news dispatches to the presence of Americans at that part of the line. Part of these forces consisted of ar tillery detachments In training, but at one point, at least, infantrymen were in the tretlches. There has been no recent reference to Amer icans there, however, and they may have been withdrawn. I.tne Well Defended The front between Soissons and Rheims is a difficult one, offering the Allies excellent facilities for the de fense. The country is hilly, with a series of strong natural positions to the rear of the Allied lines. The Germans already have sustained two severe defeats on this front. Last July they undertook what is usually referred to as the "Crown Prince's offensive," which met with the same fate as all the other military ven tures of the heir to the German throne. He carried on the attack for several weeks and met with a costly failure. Lact October the French launched an attack and won a bril liant success, taking 7,500 prisoners the first day. The enemy was driven out the Aisne valley and the line was advanced to the Ailette, the Germans losing all the long-disputed ridge of the Chemin-des-Dames. It is believed the Prussian rulers are being pushed from behind. The internal condition of Germany and Austria is such that a brilliant vic tory is imperatively necessary, un ices the morale of both empires is to collapse with a crash. A few days ago the meat ration In Germany was re duced from nine ounces a head week ly to five and a half ounces. The utter failure of the Ukraine to carry out the undertaking of delivering wheat to Germany and Austria is beyond question. The Stuttgart Tageblatt and other German papers state openly that down to May 12, Instead of 100,000 tons promised from the Ukraine, less than a third of that quantity had been sent to the Central Empires, and even of that quantity, owing to transport and other difficulties, less than 1,900 tons reached German/.
