13 CITY BUSINESS TO ORGANIZE ON 1 A WAR BASIS Stringent Regulations a Move For Conservation of Cap ital and Man Power One delivery a day for all mer- j cantile establishments. A charge of twenty-five per cent, on all goods sent C. O. P. A delivery charge of 5 cents for all goods, irrespective of size or content. A charge of 25 cents for all special deliveries outside of reg ular deliveries. No exchange of goods after package has been opened. These are war-time conditions : which will prevail in Harrisburg and j Dauphin county retail mercantille es- | tablishments. Tney will be enforced ! by a County Director of Mercantile j Economy, t" be under the jurisdlc- j tion f E. Lawrence Fell, State Dl- ] erctor of Mercantile Economy, who I outlined the tentative plans to the I conference of merchants in Fahne stock Hall last evening. J. William Bowman was appointed chairman of a committee to work out further plans for the saving of time, men and material during the war. To Frame IteKUiations Within forty-eight hours the com- j mittee will have framed the regula- I tions to be followed by the mer- I chants, and they will be put into ef- : feet as soon as they are approved | by Mr. Fell. In addition to the rul- | ings outlined above, the slate direc tor also suggested that deliveries to suburbs be limited to one or two deliveries a week: that delivery routes be doubled up, that every pos sible care be given to the saving of labor, teams and gasoline and that businessmen and others employing private chauffeurs give them up so j they might be employed in essential j war industries. Several hundred merchants h'eard j Mr. Fell outline the work of the War Industries Board, under which he gets his powers as Director of Economy. He declared that the Aim of the Government in putting on de livery charges is to cut down on ex penses and the help necessary to maintain delivery systems. In Bos ton, Mr. Fell said, the imposition of charges for deliveries cut the num- j ber of deliveries eighty-one per I cent. In Philadelphia the deliveries I were reduced forty-two per cent. | The same effect will be apparent in j Harrisburg, he said. Utiles Obligatory Mr. Fell pointed out that the rules are obligatory upon the merchants after they are once framed, and he said that they will be imposed with all the force of his office. William Smedley, secretary of the Retail Merchants' Association of Pennsylvania, also addressed the merchants. He spoke on the power of organization in business. Follow ing the address the merchants en- Raged in a discussion and decided to consider tentative regulations as soon as they were outlined by the committee to be appointed by Mr. Bowman to-day. Th.e following men, composing the merchants' committee of the Cham ber of Commerce, were instrumental in bringing Mr Fell here last even ing. This is the lirst city besides Philadelphia in which Mr. Fell has spoken since his appointment as Di rector of Mercantile Economy, The committee is as follows: J. William Bowman, chairman: William H.

ATTRACTIVE ' BUYING LEVELS Big interests continue to take all stocks offered at present attrac tive prices. The Markets are fluctuating within narrow limits, apparently gathering impetus for another advance. One hundred years ago the final defeat of Napoleon was foreseen in advance by at least one Eng lish financier and the foundation of the great Rothschild fortune was the result. Doubtlessly, there will be inter ests and individuals who will foresee the successful end of the present great war clearly enough to profit greatly in the markets Our latest weekly market digest gives latest data on the follow ing active stocks:— Aetna < urlln IVrlKht-Martln Submarine U.

Coover, of Highspire, will lead the singing with Miss Sylvia Coover as accompanist, and Mrs. Caroline Coover as reader. On Thursday evening, June 6, the Boys' Hand of the Public School of Lancaster entertained the guests of the Masonic Homes with a concert. On Saturday evening, June 8, an il lustrated lecture on the work done by the American Red Cross for the boy and girl refugees in France and Bel gium was given in Grand Lodge Hall. Miss Margaret.

Fuller Bergstresser, of the Middletown St. Peter's Lutheran Church, delivered the sermon. Y. M. C. A. RECRUITS NEEDED FOR FRANCE [Continued from First Puirc.] - Z population of that village. Enough villages to accommodate a whole di vision of about twenty-six thousand men will often take an area twenty five miles across. The men are, therefore, separated into units from three hundred in number up to two or three thousand. This alone vast ly complicates all problems of public entertainment and recreation. Our men are living right in the houses with, the French people. The French men have all been removed, that is, all the able-bodied men from eighteen to fifty years of age. In these peasant villages there are no re sources at active recreation. Our men cannot speak with the French people: there are no newspapers, no news comes in from outside: life is endlessly monotonous, except for what is furnished by the "Y." Monotony Deadly The food is good but about the same from day to day. The daily training becomes monotonous and irksome in the course of a couple of weeks. The physical director has in his hands the only physical activity that is open to the men. Under such conditions boxing is a life-saver. I.arge soccer games are also valu able. Our soldiers have absolutely no other resources of an active kind. It is impossible for men to do noth ing. The situation is quite different from what it is here in America where we have so many resources. Another reason why physical di rectors are extraordinarily Important over there will become evident as soon as our men really get into the big fight. Continued tragedy wears down personality. A great many men are permanently injured in ways which we do not understand, but which prevent their ever netting back into any large activity. "Shell shock" is a general term descriptive of many different kinds of mental and nervous pathological states. When a man has for three days been lighting almost without interruption, has had practically no sleep with but little to eat: has heen marching or running, carrying weight, helping to drag guns and the like, he has been doing work which makes foot ball seem like child's play. Men alongside of him have been left out in the field either dead or alive. He has seen his own comrades, some of them blown to pieces and some bayoneted. When a man under such conditions has opportunity for food and rest and sleep his body can re cover quickly, but often the tragedy of the situation goes round and round in his mind and it is utterly beyond his will to control. If Ciis lasts long the man is ruined. These are the conditions when a man is. practically without any will, and temptations for excitement are prac tically irresistible. These are the conditions under which humans have always dissipated, for dissipation gives the one great opportunity for some interest that will come in and crowd out the tragedy and the mon otony. The physical director who can sub stitute football for alcohol, vice or gambling, is performing a service greater than a physical director in peace time ever has the opportun ity to give. It is for this service that our men will be needed in France shortly, it takes trained men of big personality to give service of this kind. More than twp hundred represen tative ibusiness and professional men of the country heard the appeal of Dr. John R. Mott, general secretarv of the National War Council of the Y. M. C. A. in New York last Tues day for recruits to the service of the Red Triangle with the Allied Armies. Dr. Mott. who recently returned from his fifth tour of the war zone brought the appeal of the official military authorities of all the coun tries fighting Germany on the west ern front, for immediate and ade quate relief. Dr. Mott stated that un less the Y. M. C. A. is to fall in the work which has been entrusted to the association, the forces of the Y. M. C. A. in France, England and Italy, must be increased by at least four thousand workers before Sep tember 1. The budget for immediate needs calls for the recruiting of 2.- 210 of these workers before July 1, leaving 1,000 a month to be obtained during July and August. As the basis for local, county and state recruiting campaigns, Dr. Mott presented the following reasons for immediate action baaed upon his Blain Boy Arrives Overseas With Regiment \ "* HARRY F. PATTERSON I Private Harry F. Patterson, of I Blain, connected with Battery F, 108 th Field Artillery, Twenty-eighth Di j vision, has arrived safely overseas according to advices just received by i his wife. Private Patterson, who be j fore his enlistment, was employed by 1 the Western Union Telegraph Com- I pany. saw active service on the Mex ican border. conferences with allied leaders in Europe "We must have 4,000 men and women workers added to our forces overseas before September 1, for these reasons: "First—To relieve from Impossible strain the 2,000 and more American men and women already overseas. They work on an average of four teen hours a day wherever they may <be, whether in the port cities or in the training areas or in the zone of combat under shell Are. It is not right, it is not just that we should ask them to bear that burden alone. "Second—To till gaps caused by death, physical breakdown and the removal of the few misfits who have crept into the service despite our most, careful efforts. Within two weeks three of our workers have been killed, one by shell tire and the other two being victims of German gas. Several weeks ago two of our women workers were killed. The Red Triangle is no uniform for the siack ei and the pacifist. "Third—To provide successors for many who have given all the time they can for the present and must return to theitf families and business in the United States. A majority of these are eager to go back to France. "Fourth —To increase our efficiency from the present fifty per cent, ef ficiency to what it might be if we could obtain the necessary recruits. The patriotic women of this country and the men above draft age must settle down to the belief that this is going to be a long war, and make whatever sacrifice is necessary to win the war. "Fifth—To overtake arrears in | unoccupied areas. We have been obliged to call upon the British workers to receive our men in num erous cases where we were so short handed that we could not extend a welcome to our own boys coming across the seas 3,000 miles to stay until the victory is won. Many of our units are without a single work er, with no one who can relieve their homesickness. "Sixth—To keep pace with the ever expanding Army and Navy over seas. Our men are going over by the thousands. The Y. M. C. must go with them, not behind them, and ahead of them if possible. "Seventh—To have a reserve force so that the critical situation we now ! face will not recur. A military leader ! would not think of going to war without reserves. The Y. M. C. A. is a part of the military machine —to the extent that it provides recreation and keeps up the morale of the fight ing men—and the Y. M. C. A. must have reserves: , "Eighth—T° win this war the Y. M. C. A. must have sufficient workers to do the work which General Per shing, the President and the premier of the French Republic, the King of Italy and the King and Queen of England regard as so essential to the defeat of our enemies." Hun U-Boat Under Fire of British Vessel; Single Shot Was Sent By A ssociated Press An Atlantic Port, June 11.—A Ger man submarine was attacked and apparently sunk by a British steam ship a week ago Sunday morning off a British port, according to passen gers on the vessel, which afrived here to-day. A United States Army officer who saw the single shot fired at the U-boat, which was only 150 yards away, expressed the opinion a clean hit was made. The British vessel was met some distance from this port by a scout seaplane, which escorted her here. The liner carried 176 passengers. FRENCH REGAIN LOST POSITIONS [Continued from First Pope.] | orders to go ahead heedless of what the others are accomplishing. While attempting to do this, the Germans are coming under the fire of the allied batteries and groups of 1 machine guns, which possess the accurate ranges of all points. Hoist on Own Petard This fierce opposition offered by the allied troops appears to have disconcerted the German high com mand, which expected to be able to reduce the allied salient around No.von much more easily. The enemy guns were very busy throughout yesterday and last night l but were well countered by the al- . lied artillery. In addition, the wind changed its direction and tin of; thousands of poison gas shells fired by the Germans did more damage to themselves than to the allies. Indications show that some of the enemy divisions which started the attack are already being withdrawn from the line, because of the severity i of their casualties and are being re placed by fresh units. The armies are fighting it out foot by foot and it cannot be claimed up to this writing that the enemy has j gained any definite advantage, de- 1 spite the fact of the indentation he I has made in the allied line. This j was a very natural result under the tremendous smash. I HOWDKR CAM'S O.WHI Washington, June 11. Nine thou sand white draft registrants qualified for special limited military service, were called for to-day by Provost Marshal General Crowder. They will be put to work in the military aero nautical corps of the Army and wil| be sent to Vancouver. Wash., to get out material* lor airplane production. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Recruits For Army Are Sought on Circus Grounds; Veterans to Lead Rally The fact that \he public attention was focused on the circus to-day was utilized by the publicity bureau of the Harrisburg recruiting party to re mind folks that a big recruiting drive is on and men are needed in the Army. An Army tent was erected early this morning in the "city of tents" and recruiting officers were on hand all day to encourage enlist ing. A Kaiser head was placed at the grounds and a "nail the Kaiser" party was staged. The meeting to-morrow evening will be in charge of the veterans of foreign former wars. Inasmuch as rain prevented the meeting to be held under the auspices of local Army officers last night, those in charge of the drive will make an effort to have the speakers scheduled for last evening on hand to-morrow evening. Attorney General Hargest. Major Garrison and Major Gray were the scheduled speakers. Mem bers of the G. A. R., Spanish-Amer ican War Veterans and Veterans of Foregn Wars, will participate to morrow night. Thursday night's activities will be in charge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows The meeting will he preceded by a parade of the Odd Fel lows in full dress uniform.

While the drive ends Thursday night, ihe number of enlistments is not expected to decrease as activities over the entire twenty-two counties of the district will continue with un abated energy. County Officials Next Week Will Pick Site For Hospital For Contagious Diseases County commissioners and direc tors of the poor next Monday after noon will visit the county poor farm to select a site for a contagious disease hospital. This plan was de cided upon to-day at a meeting of the special committee appointed by Commissioner Henry M. Stine to make plans for the proposed struc tures. Before ' proceeding any further it was agreed to select a suit able location. City officials will probably be asked to accompany the county commissioners and poor directors. At the meeting to-day Director Frank B. Snavely, Charles Yost of the Steelton Health Department, E. S. Gerberick, Middletown borough council president; City Commissioner S. P. Hassler and Dr. C. R. Phillips, county medical inspector, of the ocmrnittee were present; also Health Officer J. M. J. Raunick, Commis sioner Stine and J. W. Bayles, clerk of the poor board. Various plans for new buildings both temporary and permanent, were discussed. The members took up the question of taking over the pres ent smallpox hospital, but according to Dr. Phillips and others a number of important changes would be nec essary first, and a trained attendant would be placed in charge. Dr. Phillips intimated the State Depart ment of Health would not permit the county to operate the hospital in the manner in which the city is conduct ing it, but would require better trained persons to be in charge whenever smallpox patients are there for treatment. .

This work has been under way for some weeks with a small force, but Commissioner Gross expects to have it completed within the next week or ten days. Meanwhile the planting force is preparing to place the vines and plants in the newly graded slope, which was destroyed in the riprap ping last year. It is probable that the .new walk can be continued to Hard scrabble notwithstanding it was nec essary to discontinue the riprapping at a pofnt south of Hamilton street last year. The filling out of the river em bankment from Maclay street to Woodlbine has been so rapid that it is probable the department of parks can establish the walk and the grass along the curbline in this particular section without further delay.
