CUMBERLAND VALLEY
SUGAR HOARDER
UNDER ARREST;
Cumberland County Adminis
trator Brings Action Against
Food Speculator
Carlisle, Pa., June 15.—Prompt
action by the food administration,
following the report of one of the
most flagrant violations of the food
•administration rules which has yet
occurred in the state, is expected to
result in a better observance of the
rules and to demonstrate that the
organization is in earnest.
Upon the charge of violating the
rules of the Federal Food Adminis
tration in the sale of sugar. Howard
\ Miller, living near the Pine woods
on New\ille R. D. 3, was given a
hearing before Dr. H. H. Mentzer in
the offices of the Committee of Pub
lic Safety, Chamber of Commerce,
here yesterday.
Quizzed relative to the alleged vio
lations, Miller admitted a number of
tilings in reference to the sale of
sugar in large quantities. He stated
that he had brought 700 pounds of
sugar to the offices of the food ad
ministration and tha* he still has 300
pounds on hand, which he is holding
pending instructions from the food
administrator. During the last two
weeks of May he purchased from a
Philadelphia firm over 2,000 pounds
•>f sugar, which he sold in lots rang
ing from forty to 300 pounds to res
idents of the neighborhood. In ad
dition, he said that he had sold
amount of five pounds or less to oth
er persons In the vicinity.
This case has been reported to the
state administration and Miller was
given the alternative of standing
"rial in the United States Court on
the charge of violating the provisions
of the I,ever bill, providing a fine of
55.000 and two years' imprisonment,
or of meeting all expenses in secur
ing the sugar which he sold, return
ing that on hand and contributing
SIOO to the American Red Cross.
A check in this sum was made
out. arrangements made for the re
turn of the sugar and the checking
up of the sales from which further
developments may result.

The Machine Way in Shorthand
A Short Cut to Success
Stenotypiats have been unusually successful and are in such
acti\e demand that we have decided to put In a batterv of steno
types, so that in the future students may pursue their course with
out purchasing a machine, just as they do typewriting. Stenotypy
being easier shorter more accurate and more speedy, which is in
keeping with other Twentieth Century Methods, you will do well
to give it careful consideration.
Schools teaching Stenotypy also teach shorthand. Thev KNOW
both. They have watched the progress of both in the ciass-room
and in the offices. Only such schools ha?ve an intimate first-hand
knowledge of both. Only such schools can advise you intelligently
safely and honestly. •
Students may select the course desired, and are

Carlisle Will Not Buy
Motor Truck For Firemen
Carlisle, Pa., June 15.—After be
ing a subject of tense interest for
several years, the proposal ta buy a
new motor truck for the Empire
Hook and ladder Company and thus
J complete the motorization of the Car
lisle tire department, has • been
dropped. The voters sanctioned a
SIO,OOO bond issue last November
but when an attempt was made to
buy it was found that the price was
higher. Later other arrangements
were made and an ordinance for the
purchase adopted. However. Burgess
Newsham vetoed the ordinance and
at the June meeting it could not be
passed over his veto, so that the
proposition is lost for the time. The
reason given is that there is too
heavy a drain on the town for war
expense.

AMERICA READY
WITH GREATEST
WAR SACRIFICE
Willing to Pool Manpower
and Material With Allies to
Loss of Individuality
Washington, June 15.—Intimation
that the United States is ready to
make some new and startling sacri
fices In France for the cause of lib
erty have recently been indicated in
the dispatches from abroad. The na
ture of these sacrifices, however, has
been little known until now.
From reliable sources it is now
learned that a proposition is under
consideration by the War Depart
i nient which will Involve the cora
j plete pooling of the manpower of the
nation and the materials of war in a
■ single lot with those of the Allies.
| Such a sacrifice of the identity of
! separate fighting units of United
j States troops, and the delivery of all
I supplies into a central distributing
j agency, is an evidence of the com-
I pleteness with which the Govern
j ment has accepted the exigencies of
j the situation and its whole-hearted
I entry into any plan which is deemed
j necessary to bring victory to the Al
lied cause.
| The brigading system, which
I placed the inexperienced American
soldiers ahiong the French and Eng
lish veterans, has permitted the use
of the troops at a much earlier date
than would have been possible under
the old order.
The regiments of American ma
rines fighting side by side with the
French have done as splendidly as
any new troops could. Carrying the
system to its logical development
will place nearly a million of Amer
-1 ica's best men in the fight with the
j Allies at no distant day, all battling
| for the same cause and under the
j same supreme commander.
Such an expansion of the brigading
can lead to but one end in the han
dling of supplies, and the proposi
tion now being considered by the
President and the Government offi
cials assures this second feature if
the first is put into operation.
it will be manifestly impossible
for the United States to continue to
equip and provision its own troops
if they are divided among those of
France and England. Such an ar
' rangement would inevitably require
I the shipment of all supplies from the
I United States to a central distribut
i ins agency, which would receive as
I well the w'ar materials of England,
i France and Italy that are to be used
; on the western front and apportion
j them among the Allied troops.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
SPROUL'S ADDRESS KEYNOTE
FOR CAMPAIGN
REPUBLICAN HARMONY RALLY
Slate Committee Gathering Biggest in Years; Ovation For
Senator Beidleman; O'Neil on Platform; Hags
and Penrose Make Addresses
Philadelphia, June 16.—The an
nual meeting of the state committee
of the Republican party In Pennsyl
vania yesterday, at which State
Chairman William E. Crow, was re
elected chairman and W. I-larry
Baker, secretary, is pronounced by
leaders everywhere as the largest
and most harmonious gathering since
the days ol' the old state conventions.
"There are no yesterdays in Re
publican politics," declared Will H.
Hays, chairman of the Republican
national committee in addressing the
gathering and as far as the state sit
uation is concerned. Chairman Hays
was right, for there has not been in
recent years such an exhibition of
party unity.
William C. Sproul, the nominee
for Governor, was greeted by his un
successful rival, J. Denny O'Neil, who
was wildly cheered as he mounted
the platform and proclaimed his
fealty to the Republican party and
unqualified support of the entire Re
publican ticket
Senator E. E. Beidleman, of Har
risburg, candidate for Dieutenant
Governor, was given an ovation when
called to the stage.
State Chairman William E. Crow,
who staged the proceedings and was
afterwards hailed as "the prince of
harmonizers," called Congressman
William S. Vare to the platform later
on and the South Philadelphian went
upon record, too, for the entire ticket
notwithstanding the fact that he and
his associates had 'backed two of the
defeated candidates.
Senator Penrose Delia lit
The climax came when Senator
Penrose who had previously grasped
hands with Congressman Vare and
Congressman John R. K. Scott, whom
he helped to defeat for the Dieuten
ant. Governorship, was called upon
I and he made a sensational speech in
which he challenged the right of the
President or any one else to curb
or prevent legitimate criticism or
independent action of members of
Congress during the period of the
war.
The utterances of the senior Sen
ator were emphasized when con
trasted with the remarks of the na
tional chairman, who had advocated
support of the national administra
tion in the present crisis without
qualification of any kind.
Chairman Hays won the hearts of
j the stalwart party men by his mag
netic: and snappy personality, and he
was repeatedly cheered as he pointed
to the record of the leaders of the
Republican party in supporting the
national administration in every
emergency.
"I Must Make Good"—Sproul
Senator Sproul, following his in
troductory remarks, said he proposed
to read what he had to say formally
in order that he might not be "mis
understood or misquoted."
"As a candidate 1 must make good
to my party," he said, "and when
elected 1 must make good to all of
the people, not only of this great
commonwealth but of the nation and
of the world, for what Pennsylvania
does or fails to do in the next four
years is a matter of crucial moment
In the future of this republic and in
the fate of democracy, of liberty and
of civilization itself. Pennsylvania's
place in the present tremendous
crisis is just so important as that. At
a time like this the service of the
public is a consecrated duty."
"Pennsylvania has always been the
heart of the American nation's loy
alty and the center of our national
patriotism- In every crisis the coun
try has known Pennsylvania has
stood by and her righteous endeavor
has been a great influence in all of
our progress as a people. Pennsyl
vania statesmen, Pennsylvania sol
diers and sailors, Pennsylvania
thought and Pennsylvania philanth
ropy, Penrtsylvania industrial genius
and Pennsylvania brawn, inspired by
Pennsylvania ideals, have been a de
termining factor in the making of
this wonderful Republic.
"But to-day, in this awful time
when all that has been builded up
by the toil and travel and suffering
of centuries is threatened with de
struction in an orgy of blood and
barbarism, when the very fundamen
tals of all that civilized man has at
tained In a thousand years are in
danger, Pennsylvania's part in the
defense of human liberty is stu
pendous.
"That the resources of this won
derful, self-contained, God-favored
empire of a state, in work, in muni
tions, in money and in men and
women, should be made most effec
tive in the quickest possible time, is
essential to the future of mankind.
That is the duty that is before us—
the most tremendous responsibility
our people and their leaders have
ever known.
State Problems to Be Met
"I am glad to see so many of the
men here who will be in the next
Degislature. The next session and
the next state administration will
have problems before them the like
of which have never confronted
Pennsylvania at any time in her his
tory. There will be countless prob
lems of local import brought about
by the great international disturb
ance and the exigencies of the Fed
eral government.
"There will be questions of reve
nue and of taxation, of retrenchment'
of state activities in some directions
and expansion in others to meet new j
and rapidly ch -iging conditions. I
There will be questions of conserva-!
tion and of public morality more 1
pressing than those of ordinary times
—but the great overshadowing, all-i
important matter will be the co-op-1
eration to the very limit of our state!
with the nation and our Allies in j
the winning of the war. We must;
get through with this business as 1
quickly as we can, but we must get}
through with It thoroughly and tri-1
umphantly or nothing else that we
may do or have done will matter)
much. Unless we finish this war.l
and finish it right, there won't be!
much that is worth while in what we'
have done before—our history will'
not be of much Interest as the rec-1
ord of a defeated and decadent peo-I
pie.
Patriotism Spells Republicanism 1
"But Pennsylvania will do her duty!
and we will win the war if we have l
to win it ourselves. The Republican!
party in the nation has thrown par-i
tisanship to the four winds and has I
stood by the administration through!
the national emergency as no oppo-!
sition party has ever stood by In a -
time of national peril in all the'
world's history. .
"We are patriots or we wouldn't
be Republicans. The Republicans in
Congress have been In the forefront
In all movements for the national
defense, and the great Republican
newspapers of the land have been
leaders In the uprising of our people
for the defense of democracy.
"We linve fought out our primary
contests and are united in the sup
port of our state, congressional and
legislative ticket*. The factions you
read about in the New York and
Washington pa pern, which never arc
well informed on 1 nnsylvania poll- j
tics, are only skin keep. In the great
body of the state we know nothing of
them. We never even think of them
when we go to elect a President
or a governor, or to settle a great
issue.
"We will show the country this
fall a Republican vote which will
indicate that we realize the import
ance of Pennsylvania's place in the
nation, that we are for the winning
of this war no matter what the sacri
fice, that to the last man we will
stand by the Federal administration
and pledge our all to that end, but
that we are determined that Repub
lican policies and Republican .states
manship shall soon again dominate
the government of this great repub
lic."
Assemblage dicers Penrose
livery man in the room and in the
galleries, despite factions and previ
ous strife, Jumped to his feet when
Senator Penrose arose. They cheered
him for many seconds.
The Senator prefaced his address
with the prediction that the state
ticket would be elected in November
by an overwhelming majority, "only
exceeded, perhaps, by the majority
given Colonel Roosevelt when he ran
for president and carried this state."
He immediately plunged into the
national situation, saying, in part:
"I don't believe in the specious
theory of the adjournment of poli
tics during the present war. I be
lieve that political discussion is just
as necessary as it is In times of peace.
This war is not going to be a thing
of a day and the issues are of im
measurable importance which will
confront us in the adjustment of
national and international affairs.
When the war is over- it will be
scarcely less important than it is
now. To say that there is only one
man or one party or one faction of
a party that should conduct the af
fairs of the United States is, to my
mind, an untenable proposition. I
recognize still that the Constitution
of the United States prevails and I
see no reason to abandon it, simply
because of the war and owing to the
great war crisis which confronts us.
Under the Constitution the President
of the United Sates is the command
er-in-chief of the Army and the Navy
and he has the veto power over legis
lation, but beyond that the powers
of the Government are vested in the
legislative branches of the •Govern
ment and in the courts of the Gov
ernment. Neither of them should
abdicate their functions to President
Wilson or the Democratic party or
any other individual of the nation.
I have my responsibilities so long as
I hold the position which I do and
which was so generously vested upon
me by the state of Pennsylvania.
I will go further and say, not
only ought the Republican party be
kept alive and vigorous, but the
Democratic party should be kept
alive and vigorous, because it is only
by the conflict of discussion of par
ties that free governments can be
conducted.
Contrasts European System
"If incompetence prevails, if in
efficiency exists and there are abuses,
or ir there is corruption which is
hidden away in dark places, I con
sider it my duty as a Republican,
just as it is that of every other Re
publican or any other man, to do
my duty and to expose such ineffi
ciency and corruption in order that
the war may be speeded to a success
ful conclusion. 1 know of no coun
try in the world where the peculiar
doctrine prevails that there sh'all be
no parties during the waj\
