BtARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WAR PROBLEMS IN WAY OF CONGRESS RECESS JUST NOW Vital Questions on Calendars For Solutios; Wire Con trol Important . By disociated rress Washington. July 3.—The resolu tion authorizing the President ta take oxer telegraph and telephone lines, the $12,000,000,000 Army ap propriation biU. the proposal to in crease the government guaranteed price of wheat to J2.50 a bushel and I war-time prohibition to-day stood in the way of the proposed recess of Congress this week. Leaders in both the Senate and House were not hope fUi that this legislation could be (disposed of in time to recess Satur ijfij until August 10. while the new revenue bill is being drafted by the House Ways and Means Committee. Tht- opinion of Speaker Clark, recess plans had "sone glimmering." Plan Recess This Week gome members, however, had not given up hope to-clay of being able to leave Washington this week. Ten tative plans were proposed to hurry the passage of the Army bill which is now In conference, due largely to numerous amendments added by the Senate, and to have the telegraph and telephone control resolution go over until August. Disposition of the last piece of legislation before recess depends upon insistent of the administra tion. It'is known President Wilson is anxious to have the resolution passed so that action might be taken should a crisis arise in the telegraph situa tion. To provide funds for the Army, agricultural department and other government agencies, the appropria tion bills of which have been held up, the Senate to-day planned sidei a blanket resolution passed by tlu House yesterday continuing as an emergency last year's appropria tions. $2.50 Wheat Price I.ikcl> Agreement on the amendment in creasing the guaranteed price for ! wheat to $2.30 appeared likely after j weeks of discussion In conference. ! It was intimated that House man- j agers would agree to a compromise | on the price in view of the over- ! whelming vote in the Senate against • lowering the wheat guarantee. It was generally believed that war-time ! prohibition would go over until after thr recess in view of the inability of prohibition leaders in the Senate to get the amendment up for con sideration yesterday. Hearings on the new revenue bill by the House Ways and Means Committee were scheduled to close to-day. Work of drafting the measure will be started immediately, it was said. R. K.

Camp Site Is Inspected by a Big Delegation of "Boys" Everything is looking fine for a very successful V. M. C. A. camp on a beau tiful site- along the river near Liver pool. The ground was cleared, the "engineer'" corps erected a bridge arid sanitary arrangements were made b\ a party of enthusiasts, who journeyed to the site yesterday. Of course, there was much doing that was not on the program. Al. Thomas tore the tire off his big car , trying to use it for a trench digging machine, a certain well-known outer ■ lost his reputation as a camp cook by ] falling down on his job. "Art" Bacon ' broke a tooth as the result and the aforesaid Mr. Thomas, who acted as commissary, got a new idea as to the size of a camper's appetite. A few • got mosquito bites and sunburn, but all returned impressed with the idea of an />uting for the boys of the as -1 sociation and the decision was reach ed to open camps Wednesday of next j week for ten days. All the boys who were out yesterday hope to "touch"' their fathers for the price of admis • sion. which will be very reasonable. The boys who composed the party of investigators and who highlv ap proved of the camp site, consisted of ; the following: Robert Leiby, William ! Diener. William Brown. Frank C. Foose. Jr.. Donald Xissley. Robert Ma j thias. Albert Thomas. George Hilte beitel. Roswell Lyon. Richard Stein metz. Edward StoufTer. Theodore Langdon. William Harris and Danil Bacon. Most of these bovs, whose .ages range from 12 to IS vears are l planning to attend the cainp. Two smaller boys. William Keller and Alfred Thbmas, went to the site a guests of Al K. Thomas. The men of the partv included: John A Affleck Clinton Harold. A. K. Thomas. A. c' Hauck. G. M. t-teinmetz. John S. A. D. Bacon. A. H. Dinsmore and C." W. Miller. During the afternoon Mr and Mrs. W.

FOUNDED ISH (""' : " ' : 1 To "The Land of the Free And the Home-of the Brave 99 Thirteen million foreign born persons in the United States have im migrated to this great country—believing it to be the land of liberty and individual opportunity. Thirty-two million, or 35 per cent, of the entire population are of foreign-born parents. What an important factor they are in the making of this nation is evidenced by a few figures: Immigrants contribute 85 per cent, of labor in meat industry— seven eighths in woolen mills—seven-tenths of labor in coal mining—nine tenths in cotton mills—one-half in shoes—four-fifths in furniture, one-half in collars, shirts and cuffs —four-fifths in leather— one-half in gloves—nineteen-twentieths in sugar making—one-half in tobacco industry—and the mammoth steel industry depends largely on . the immigrated foreign-born people. Side by side with native born they build up our industries and be come citizens. Their sons and daughters through our public schools ac" quire the same education and social recognition as our own. And thus the amalgamation of foreign-born and native continues in the land where 142 years ago to-morrow, the Old Liberty Bell pealed forth the joyous tidings that a new nation was born. , The spirit of 76 is the spirit of 1 91 B—the American spirit, on this, the most significant Fourth of July America has known. Our soldier boys and their soldier boys may not be with us in person, marching in step to martial music and receiving the plaudits of the mul titude on the sidewalk, but they are with us in spirit as on this occasion we step down from the curb, foreign-born and native born, to march in their places and pay tribute to them as we proclaim anew the doctrine of democracy. 1 , '*-• V ' i i ■ i. . . ii■. i. i J | fully, blazing out at times, at others j almost quenched, but sustained by the I figure on Calvary; kept alive by the principles of Christianity, burst into I a full. red. unquenchable flame with | the pealing of the old Liberty Bell I when the grandson called to his I grandsire in the old belfry 011 Chest j nut street, "Ring, Grandpa!

German and Finnish troops are teported moving rapidly toward the Murmansk coast, where American, British and French forces are guard ing allied supplies intended for Rus sia.
