Alleged American Spy Is Of
l' fered For Plotter in At
lanta Prison
\\ SHhliißton, June S.—Secretary of
State Robert Lansing, in a note
which bristles with defiance, has re
futed a demand from tho German
I'vernment for the release by ex-
chs.uro of Captain-Lieutenant Frit*
Von Rintelen, "master spy and plot
• ter"
■\ threat to Institute reprisals
r on?r United States prisoners is
Inn-led back with the warning that
lh fate of all Germans- In the cus
' totfv Of the United States iepends
vi>< n strict adherence to accepted In
ternational practices.
A note received in the State Pe
-1 part men t on April JO through the |
Sw ss Minister proposed the exchange 1
of -iegfried Paul convicted
hv 'lip Germans as a spy in Warsaw
mil sentenced to ten years' penal
[* servitude.
The difference in the station of the
two prisoners and their respective |
values to the governments concerned
!•= regarded as a glaring example of
Germany's unwillingness at any time ,
to make a fair bargain.
Siegfried Paul London is referred j
t • in the German communication as
• "citl*en of the.Unlted States." As j
n matter of fact, he was born in j
' elpxlg of German parents and has i
redded In Russia the last sixteen |
vrars. He took out naturalization !
papers In New York in 1882.
Captain-lieutenant von Rintelen is
one of the most conspicuous figures
connected with German Intrigue in
this country and England. He was
custodian and disbursing agent of
the great fund, estimated at $15,-

lie was convicted only a few .
months ago of conspiracy and sen- I
tenced to serve two years in a fed- I
erul prison. He is now In Atlanta j
and is likely to stay there, according
tp the authorities.
Great interest was attached to the j
arrest of Captain von Rintelen. ow- .
Inp to the assertion that he Is an il- |
legitimate son of the Kaiser. This
ha-- never been refuted, and it is re
garded as a certainty at the State
Department that the prisoner's con
nection with the German nobility is :
the direct cause of the measure taken
to procure his release.

at Cliezv and Damipard, may have 1

Further north the French have j
Improved their positions in the j
reighborhood of Ambleny, while at i
Faverolles, in the Villers-Cottcret ,
urea, a violent bombardment is re- j
l-orted.
American marines and French
troops on the sector northwest ofi
Chateau Thierry have driven the
Hermans back two and one-half,
miles on a front of six miles, and
'utest reports are that sharp fight-!

' l> !
Friday the lighting was of a more
v ilesperate character than on Thurs
day but the Germans were compell-.
Ed to give ground, the impetuous ma-j
fines and .French being too much |
for them. German prisoners taken
now exceed three hundred. As a
result of the advance the enemy'
has been driven back on the river]
and across it at Vinly. He no longer;
menaces the height positions south i
of Veuilly which form an importanti
part of the barrier holding the Ger-I

Paris.
Artillery Duels Violent
On the wing between the Marne ■
and Rhoims the French have com-,
pleted the capture of Bligny. Else- i
where on the salient the infantry j
lighting has been at a minimum and!
nowhere have the Germans essayed
attacks. The artillery duel is vio
lent west of Rheims along the Marne
und north of Ourcq.
In reporting on the fighting north
west of Chateau Thierry on Thurs
day, Berlin says "local attacks Hy
the enemy were repulsed." A Ger
lii; n advance near Sarcy. between
Rheims and the Marne, in which 300 |
prisoners were taken, is reported.
French troops on the Flanders sa
lient have improved their positions
near Looro. On the Picardy battle
field American troops took prisoners
. in a raid. There and in the Woevre
• and in Lorraine the American and
German artillery have been active.
Anglo-French airmen on Thursday
ur< ounted for thirty-five German
airplanes and a half dozen observa
tion balloons in addition to dropping
more than sixty tons of bombs on
targets behind the enemy lines.
Increased activity is reported from
the Italian front. In attacks be
tween Lake Garda and the Piave,
Italians und French troops captur-
d more than seventy prisoners. Aus
, " fro-Hungarian troops attempted ad
vances on the Asiago plateau only to
be beaten back. At several points
along the mountain front enemy pa
trol parties were repulefcd by the
Italians.

Heal Skin Diseases
" 1
It is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
SI.OO lor extra large bottle, and prompt
ly applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating;
disappearing liquid and is soothing to
the most delicate skin. It is not greasy,
is easily applied and costs little. Get
it today and save all further distress.

. While the town is taxed to its limit
to find sleeping quarters, it likewise
is being .crowded to provide suitable
space for eating quarters. What
available space has not been taken
up by beds has been taken over to
provide eating quarters for the thou
sands of visitors. The entire lower
lloor of the Hershey Men's Club has
been turned into a temporary restau
rant to feed the multitude.
A standardization of dress, not
alone as denominational but also as
a national movement, was advocated
at last evening's meeting by Dr. Wil
bur F. Crafts, of Washington, super
intendent of the International Re
form Bureau. In these days of con
servation of food, or fuel and what
not. he declared, we should have a
campaign for conservation in dress.
"Billions of dollars are wasted an
nually in eccentric dressing." Dr.
Crafts declared.
Fashion Is Tyrannical
"Fashion is tyranny," he told his
hearers. "This war is being waged to
throw off tyranny and therefore why
should we not throw off the yoke of
fashion and her tyranny?" he quer
ied. "We are dominated by foreign
lord of fashion," he declared,
"while we are throwing oft the yoke
of foreign lords of the nations."
A conference of pastors of the
church was held this morning lie
tkeen 8 o'clock and 9.30 in the Hill

War Problems )
Among important questions to be
brought before the conference of the
Church of the Brethren at Hershey
this week are those touching the
present war crisis. The policy of the i
church is a noncombatant one, and i
for many years it was tha rule not
to allow members to accept civil or
governmental office. During late
years the rule has not been strictly ]
observed, and many of the members
are now holders of govei"nmental po
sitions. These positions make them
eligible for war service since they
have sworn to support the govern
ment. The question has been brought
before the standing committee of the
organization with a number of oth
ers of timely interest.
Large State Membership
For many years organs were
banned from the church services,
bjit during recent years the organ
has been brought into the services,
although the singing at the confer
ence is unaccompanied.
The church has 20.000 members
In the state, which is the strongest
single state in the union, in point of
membership. The total membership
is about 100,000. It is planned that
at the next year's convention the bl- '
centennial of the landing in America
of Peter Becker, one of the eduea
! tional leaders of the church, be fit
-1 tingly celebrated. This question is
among those *hlch are now before
! the standing committee. This rul
ing organization is composed of fifty
six delegates from every state and
from China as well. The sessions are
secret and decisions will not be an
nounced until next week.
Committees Named
Elder Taylor, who was moderator
of the recent convention at Winona
Lake, as well as the present conven
tion, is a resident of Neflfsville, just a
few miles from the convention town.

"Bone Dry" Nation
by Present Congress
Sai dto Be Certain
Washington, June B.—Nation-wide,
bone-dry prohibition Is to be nailed
down at this session, according to j
prominent leaders In the Senate.
No chances are to be taken on any 1
slip. It now is proposed to bring
the subject forward In such a way
a* to preclude the possibititv of de- :
feat. " I
' RJder on Food Control
A change of plan was made yes- ]
terday by the prohibition forces. It
heretofore has been intended to bring
in a separate measure currying bone
dry provisions. It now is deter
mined to tack a rider to the food
control bill, already passed by the
House and, resting in the Senate
Committee on Agriculture.
In order to have legislative status,
it Is necessary that\the committee
hring in the bill with the Randall'
amendment. A nation-wide proposi- I
tlon then will be substittued for the '
one fathered by Representative Ran- j
dall. If this course be not fol- •
lowed, the new plan, if added to
some other bill, would be subject to
a point of order.
Rrlvht Outlook For Dryn
Senator Jones, of Washington, who
is actively co-operating with Senator
Sheppard in smoothing the way for
prohibition legislation, said yesterday
afternoon that the outlook could not j
be brighter. He believes there will
be an-abundance of votes to pass the I
proposition, after a brief struggle on j
the Senate floor.
"In my judgment," safd Senator
Jones, "the President will not oppose
the plan now offered for nation-wide
prohibition.'

BRIGHTESTSPOTIN
WAR, SAYS GEORGE
Trained Skill With Which
Troops Take Their Part
Is Most Encouraging
London, June B.—-Premier David !
Lloyd George, in replying to p toast
to the success of tho .Entente Allied
arms at the dinner of the Printers'
Society of London last night, said
that Britishers- have made unsur
passed sacrifices for a great purpose
and a high ideal.
One of the most' encouraging
things, the Premier continued with
the "superb valor and trained skill
with which the Americans have
taken their part In the struggle and
feated the foe. Jt Is a most encour
aging thing, because there has bean
a great flow of those troops and we
were depending on them."
If for any cause the Allies fail to
succeed it will he a sorry world to
live in, Mr. Lloyd George said.
In reference to the Americans the
Premier said:
"I have just returned from France,
where I met a French statesman,
who had been at the battlefront soon
after an engagement where the
Americans fought. He was full of
admiration, not merely for their
superb valor, but the trained skill
with Which they attacked and de
! feated the foe. His report of the
( conduct of the American troops, a
I division which had been in action for
j the first time, was one of the most
| encouraging things that 1 have
; heard. We know that whenever
they appear in the battle line they
will fight in a way worthy of the
great traditions of their great coun
try. This is in itself a source of
support, sustenance and encourage
ment to all those who, with anxious
hearts are watching the conflict go-
I ing on in France."
In conclusion, Premier Lloyd
George said:
"We have faced a great crisis. We
have heard Ludendorff's threat of
hammer blows. Hammer blows
would crush poor metal, but they
harden and consolidate good metal.
There Is good metal In British hearts
and it has stood the test of centur
ies. It will stiind this new test and
so will that gallant people across
the channel, who are fighting for the
honor of their native land.
"I never saw a sign of wavering
in any French face. They are full
of courage and determination and it
is a united France more than ever."
Bottled Blood Saves
Men Shot in Battle;
Inject Into the Veins J
Cincinnati, June 8. How the lives
of the fighting men on the battle
fronts of Europe are saved by the
injection of bottled blood into their
veins was told and discussed yester
day by members of the American
Surgical Association in convention
here.
This blood is known to the medical
profession as citrate of blood, and Sir
ArbuthnOt Lane, of London, told the
delegates that in the April German
drive in northern France, when the
Third British Army was forced to re
treat thirty bottles of citrate of blood
had been captured by the Germans. "I
hope that the foe will use this blood."
said Sir Arbuthnot; "perhaps it will
make better human beings out of
them." • .
Major W. J. Mayo, of Rochester,
Minn., announced that he had already
enlisted 100 persons of pure blood who
will gladly offer their blood for the
treatment of American wounded.
Colonel Herbert A. Bruce, of To
ronto, Can., reported that he had been
successful in 320 cases of blood trans
fusion during a short period of serv
ice behind the lines.

SEVEN INDICTED
FOR PLOTTING TO
COMMIT TREASON
Five Americans and Two Gor
man Subjects Accused in
Disloyalty Charge
New York, June B.—Five American
citizens and two subjects of tho Ger
man empire, one of them a woman,
are named as fellow conspirators in
two Indictments returned by a Fed
eral Grand Jury here yesterday. In
vestigators declare their operations
the most* sensational undertaken by
German intelligence agents since the
war began.
Those named in the Indictments
are Jeremiah Marie K. de
Victories, Carl Rodiger, William J.
Robinson. John T. Ryan, Albert Paul
Fricke and Kmil Kipper.
The -indictments allege conspiracy
to commit treason and conspiracy to
commit espionage. The assembling
and transmission of information
relative to America's prosecution of
the war; the destruction of Amer
ican piers, docks and troop trans
ports with Are bombs; destruction of
quicksilver mines in this country to
hamper the manufacture of muni
tions; assisting Gcrruany in landing
an armed expedition in Ireland; fo
mentation of a revolt against Brit
ish rule in Iceland; raising of funds
in this country with which to finance
these operations, and destruction of
munition factories and mines in
Great Britain are charged as ramifi
cations of the intrigue.
The wording of the indictments In
timates that the conspiracy may be
of even broader scope. This is sug
gested by a paragraph in the treason
indictment which alleges that in
June last year one of the defendants
sent a cablegram to Olten, Switzer
land.
Shippers to Get Benefit
of Express Merger; Rates
Lower; Shipments Better
Harrisburg shippers, with the
shippers of the nation as a whole,
will benefit by the recent consolida
tion of the four largo express com
panies to form the American Rail
road Express Company. Cheaper
rates and much more satisfactory
shipments are expected as a result ot'
this consolidation.
The Adams and American express
companies have always maintained
offices in HarrLsburg. Henceforth,
under the Ponsolidation plan, when
shipments are brought- to one office
consigned to territory more satisfac
torily served by the other company,
these shipments will be transferred
to this branch. Under this arrange
ment express rates are expected to
be somewhat lower and claims for
loss due to delay in shipment con
siderably reduced. The new or
ganization expectes further to re
duce claims for loss by having men
watch carefully depots, cars, etc.
The nontransportation activities of
the .separate companies will be con
ducted as heretofore. Money orders,
travelers' cheques, travel dermrtment
foreign exchange and banking amL
their respective foreign
which are of international magni
tude, arc among* the things unaffect
ed. These affairs will be conducted
fropi the separate offices of the com
panies as before.

quehanna river near Lancaster yes
