GERMAN PEOPLE MUST BE CRUSHED TO INSURE PEACE Big Crowd at Patriotic Rally Hears New Indictment of Kultur A determination to win the war. and to sacrifice anything in order to bring about its successful termina tion. was the spirit of the represent ative Harrisburg crowd which filled the hall of the House of Representa tives in the Capitol at Saturday eve ning's meeting of the Pennsylvania branch of the League to Enforce Peace. The spirit of the American people In waging this war was ably ex pressed by Dr. Smith Burnham. of the Normal School, West Chester, the spirit of the men In the trenches by Captain Alister .St. Clair Camp bell of the Clark Island Southern Highlanders, and the spirit of the Hun by Bishop James Henry Dar lington, who presided at the meet ing. "There is not a soldier in France who does not want peace, but not one would stand for a premature or inconclusive peace. We want peace, but peace on our own terms. Any other peace would be traitorous to those who hav e given their lives. * declared the Scotch hero who was twice wounded and once invalided during his two years of active war fare in France. German People, Too Declaring that the German people are one with their government, tak ing sides with militarism and waging war on humanity, he said that the Germans as a people must be crushed until they come bleeding in every wound and beg for peace. It is the Germans, Captain Campbell said, who inaugurated gas and liquid fire warfare, made war on women and children, and bombed hospitals and civilian populations. "The war must continue," he said, until the lustful spirit of the Ger man is crushed." Captain Campbell paid a glowing tribute to the Americans in France, declaring that the allies were aston ished at the tine appearance of the Americans when they first appeared along the battlefront. "Their only anxiety is to make good," he added. He then recounted the hardships of trench life, and added that to sus tain the morale of the soldiers forced to live this life the morale at home must be maintained. Fourth Time in History Professor Burnham had the audt ence in applause the moment after lie began. Declaring it a privilege to live at such a crucial period, he said that at only three times has the world stood at such momentous crossroads in the fields of history. Once, he said, 2,500 years ago, when the small nation of Greece held the fate of democracy in its hand while it stemmed the onrush of the Asi atics: again 1,000 years later, when the Franks, ancestors of the men who held the Germans at bay at Verdun, stemmed the Mohammedan flood on the field of Tours; and again iu the Sixteenth century when the iTritish defeated imperialism by de stroying the Armada of Spain. It is on such a high cru sade, the speaker said, that ten mil lion Americans, if necessary, will be sent overseas. There can be but three results from this war, he said. The first is :i triumph of democracy, for which the nations are fighting; the second is a German triumph, which he de clared would not come until after cverj* American had died fighting with his back to the wall; and the third would be an inconclusive peace made by a war-weary World. This, he declared, would turn the whole world into a vast drillcamp. and make Russia an armed school for the Prussian drillmaster to whip -5,000.000 Russians into shape for the next war on democracy. Bishop Darlington concluded the meeting with a retftal of the worst horrors perpetrated by the Germans on the east and west fronts, as a reminder that in making the war for right the Americans must not forget to hate wrong. Professor John W. Phillips and the Grace Methodist Church choir led the community singing. The Rev. George E. Hawes pronounced the invocation, and the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. George Preston Mains. Dr. J- T. Rothrock, secretary of the Pennsylvania branch of " the League to Enforce Peace, who was responsible for the meeting, readthe resolution adopted by the national convention, committing the members to the whole-hearted support of the Government in its effort to win the war. The resolution was unani mously adopted by the gathering. It was as follows: This war, the most destructive, the most unnecessary in the history of mankind, the most degrading and brutalizing In its tendencies, the most regardless of the sanctities of home, of womanhood and of the infirmities of age. can be distinctly traced to the insane spirit of dominion that srows out of and flourishes in an au tocratic government, which is re sponsible to no higher power, and is therefore indifferent to justice, or to the rights of weaker nations. The simple fact, that of all the warring nations, Germany alone was ready for battle and was the first to move, is proof positive that Germany is responsible for this crime against mankind. In addition to this, there Is the most convincing circumstan tial evidence that the war is mere ly of a long preparation for world domination, which is so nearly ac complished that there r.emains no other safety for mankind, for civili zation and for all that makes life de sirable than the obligation of auto cracy in the present German states, and the universal adoption of Dem ocratic or representative government To this high duty the people of the United States along with their allied nations have dedicated all their pow ers. Therefore, We Pennsylvanlans in ft patriotic rally met, do hereby re affirm our belief in representative government, and we do pledge our loyal support to President Wilson as our national head, and will make all of every sacrifice required under the law or by the spirit of patriot ism for such triumph of our own and of our allied armies, as will lead to a peace guaranteed and enforced by a League of Nations and make the world at last free. Dr. Rothroclc referred to the great meeting of the League to Enforce Peace held in Philadelphia some weeks ago when five thousand dele gates from all parts of the country declared their purposes to win a decisive victory.

MONDAY EVENING, THIRTY THEFTS IN PARDON LIST j Unusual Array of Cases Listed | For the Meeting of State Board This Week Thirty of the \\\ cations for par two-day session of the State Board of Pardons, set IWjPffiQQQV; for June 19 and bearings for the Si summer, involve theft or crimes i MpMHHfP connected with j unlawful taking of property and ; seventeen are based on homicide of I varying degrees. Only nine appli | cations were made by persons in i volved in various grades of assault. ; There are only half a dozen general crimes in the whole category pre j sented this month, an unusual condl ! tion. ! Philadelphia has twenty-three of 1 the applications for clemency, one j of the three rehearing applications and one of the held over list. It will : probably have a special day fixed, j Luzerne, Allegheny, Chester and l York are next with four each, while j Lackawanna and Schuylkill have three each. The homicide applicants Include two from Allegheny, who are sen tenced to electrocution, while there ! are three applicants saved from i death some years ago, Georse L. j Marion, Luzerne; Freda Trost and Louis O. Hine, Philadelphia. Three I cases are manslaughter and nine are I second degree murder. Lackawanna, I Schuylkill and Luzerne having some of them. The Pizztmenti case from j Dauphin, in which a man convicted I of second degree murder broke pa ! role is up after five appearances be | fore the board. j The board will not sit again until , September. • Listing C.ys.— State Compensa tion referees have begun to list ' claims of aliens in enemy countries j to secure action in accord with the ! recent decision of Chairman Mackey 1 after the intervention of the custo ' dian of alien property. Many of ! these cases will be continued indefi nitely, but in others in which proof jis obtainable they *-111 be pushed | through and any awards will be j taken charge of by the federal au i thorities. 1 Compensation Case The State Compensation Board in a decision : rendered in Bendle vs. Elder & Fort j enbaugh, a Cambria county case, i makes the recommendation that pay ! ments for injuries should be re ! sumed as long as disability is shown, ! but that "The claimant should try | to forget his physical ailments. part j of which we think may not be due ito his accident and continue to search for some work he can do." This position has been taken by the j board in a number of cases lately, it being pointed out that men are needed in industry and that they should seek light employment if un jable to work at former occupations. In a Western Pennsylvania case the board makes this ruling in an alien dependency claim. "The mother of the deceased employe, being an alien parent and never having resided in the United States, payments of sums of money due by the son's earnings | either directly or by the father for j the son should not establish de ! pendency either of the mother or of j the father.". In the case of Moore vs. Tyler Tube Pipe Co.. McKees port. it is held that an employe who doctored an Injury to his foot, which later became gangrenous and had to be amputated, is not entitled to re cover any money expended for medi cal attention during the first four teen days of his disability, but is en titled to an award for compensation for loss of his leg. •lovrrnor to Attend.

Public sentiment ; is declared against the expenditure ' of a large sum of money on the old ! county building. When bids were ' opened for the proposed repairs at a meeting it was found that the work |as outlined by the architect would I cost more than SIOO,OOO.

HUNS OUTWITTED BYAMERICANS [Continued from First Page.] irg they composed a working party, the artillery was signaled for a bar rage. The American artillery and machine guns, before the enemy bar rage could get started, inflicted heavy casualties on the unprotected Germans In No Man's Land. The original plan was for the Ger mans to divide and to enter Xivray from three directions. Only one sec tion actually reached the outskirts, but only after It had been cut up badly by the American barrage Are. Of these, only a small group got into Xivray. where they were quickly sur rounded by the Americans and either captured or killed. Eight pris oners, including a lieutenant, re mained in the American hands. A majority of the American cas ualties, which do not Include any missing, resulted from the German artillery fire. Shell Hits Churchgoers Casualties among French civilians occurred when a German shell burst near a church as a procession of vil lagers was emerging from mass. Many of the French wounded were cared for in American hospitals. This afternoon the American artil lery sent retaliatory shells behind the German lines, while the Ger mans. apparently angered by the fail ure of the raid, .bombarded villages ps far as eight miles behind the American lines. The entire Toul sec tor is now echoing to the heaviest gunfire in many weeks. PIMPLES BURNED] ANDSMARTED Awfully. Came in Blotches and Itched.

In the last year approximately 3,000 pheasants have been put out, practically all of them have been carod for on the state game pfe serveß during the winter. They have been reported as in good shape and the breeding season will materially JUNE 17, 1918. increase the number. In addition the commission has sent out over 10,000 eggs and the reports on hatchings have been favorable. The Interest In the plan to close the state to the hunting of ruffed grouse has progressed so well that in a number of counties requests have been made for extension of the time for filing petitions and this has been done in the hope that the sig natures will be very representative and that every county will come in. Some questions have arisen from time to time, but they have been straightened out. The time for the bulk of the petitions to close is June '2l, but extensions have been given to varjoua dates up to July 8. The commission will meet here on July 8 to take action on the peti tions and some moves for creation of additional reserves. Something will probably be done regarding sev eral moves for auxiliary reserves, on which there has been much inquiry of late. Late reports coming here in re gard to quail have been favorable. There are Increases reported In some localities, while farmer's have been taking care of the birds owing to the value in clearing out' the bugs. The commission's reports also tell i of numerous quail in agricultural re gions. 7
