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

another advance.
One hundred years ago the final
defeat of Napoleon was foreseen
in advance by at least one Eng

of the great Rothschild fortune
was the result.
Doubtlessly, there will be inter

NEEDED FOR FRANCE

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

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.

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.

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. The Mu
nicipal Band will furnish music, and
will lead the community singing at
the stand. Frank B. Wiekersham,
and the Rev. George N. Lauffer will
be the principal speakers.
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.

| Spring Rains Aiding Park
Officials in Planting
The heavy rain of last night was a
great help to the department of
parks in the rolling and alignment
of the new walk along the river em
bankment from Maclay street south
t ward. 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.

said the German submarine which !
sank their vessel 110 miles northeast

Walter C. B. Burrows, first* assist- t
ant engineer of the Pinar del Rio I
described the craft with the submer
sible as a vessel of about. 6,000 gross
tons, with a single funnel amidships
Hhe was painted gray and stood some
two or three miles in the offing while
the submarine sank the Rio. When
the American craft went down the
submarine signaled the vessel In in
ternational code "Follow me," and the
U-boat and her consort started away.
Demands Drastic Saving
of Coal to Avert Famine
WimhinKton, June 11. —.The nation
faces the danger of another period of
industrial idleness unless drastic
measures of economy in thtf use of
coal are adopted Immediately by do
mestic consumers and the supplies to
many of the less essential industries
curtailed, Fuel Administrator H A
Garfield announced yesterday.
The time has come, Dr. Garfield
says, when the situation must be look
ed squarely In the face. He Is un
willing to accept the responsibility of
permitting the nation to take the
summer conditions as a matter of
course and face the consequences
when industries are forced to shut
down again during the winter months
because of transportation congestion
and inadequate coal supply.
