Tricolor Flies and Command
ers Tell How Autocracy
Fell in France
(lamp Meade, Md., July 16.—Wel
fare agencies of the camp, acting
through General Joseph A. Gaston,
joined yesterday in observing the
anniversary of the fall of the Bas
tile. The celebration was held in
the new building of the Jewish Wel
fare board. Addresses were made
by Edward C. Baldwin, head of the
Young Men's Christian Association;
Francis A. 1-iitz, of the Knights of
Columbus, and A. A. Steinbach, head
of the Jewish Welfare Board. There
was music by the depot brigade
band.
The "Marseillaise" and other
French patriotic airs were played.
The French Tricolor was flown from
flag staffs on this occasion as the
Italian flag was displayed a few
weeks ago to indicate the feeling of
fellowship with the Italians. Every
commander impressed upon his men
the importance of this day was mark
ing the fall of autocracy in France
and thus it is a date of rejoicing
for all liberty loving- people at this
time when liberty is lighting for its
existence against Hohenzollernism.
17,000 New Men Coming
Everything is being put into shape
for the arrival of 17,000 new men
this week. The number may lie
swelled to 19,000 before the week is

and the District of Columbia. While
Pennsylvania will not send any this
week, it will have its inning next

call, will be sent here to make up
a new liberty division.
Unofficial word was received to
day that the 313 th Infantry of the
79th Division, which trained hero,
j had reached "over there." Absolute
i confirmation of this, however, could
not be made. It is a fact, though,
that the 313 th sailed some time ago
for France.
The work of enlarging the water
supply ,and the sewerage system of
the camp wiU be started within a
few days. More pipes will be laid
and filters built. The coming of

It is not known how the accident oc

MEXICAN QUAIL
WILL BE BOUGHT
State Game Commission Is
Hopeful of Securing Sup
ply From the Republic
The State Game Commission is
going to make another effort to ob
tain quail for stocking Pennsylvania
counties next year. Notwithstanding
the disappointments attending the
shipment of several thousand prom
ised from Mexican highlands and
arranged for here this spring, corre
spondence has been undertaken with
men who claim that they will avoid
revolutions and comply with federal
government requirements and deliver
the birds to Pennsylvania when
weather und food conditions are
right. The commission at its meet
ing here a few days ago found a
marked desire on the part of many
sportsmen to have the state stocked
with quail on an extensive scale not
only to.furnish sport, but to replenish
the losses caused by last winter.
Promises to enlist interest of farm
ers in feeding of quail because of
iheir great value as bug destroyers
have also been received here.
The commission has already con
tracted for thousands of ringnecketf
pheasants to be delivered next year
and has liberated many and distrib
uted hundreds of dozens of eggs to
sportsmen this year. It is planned to
buy some deer next winter. Other
game will lie purchased and an ef
fort to propagate grouse will be un
dertaken.
Approval of the first three auxil
iary game preserves and the order
for opening: of the new Forest coun
ty state game preserve, to be known
as No. 24, are expected to stimulate
interest in game propagation. The
three auxiliaries will 'be wired in
Clarion, Luzerne and Bucks coun
ties. Clarion has the honor of being
first and it is believed that these aux
iliaries will be followed by others
from western counties where the
state does not own forest land, but
where sportsmen are eager for pre
serves and hope to Ret around the
oil and gas lease situation and ob
tain use of cover for game. Al
ready several inquiries have come
as to what steps should be taken to
list auxiliaries.
Action of the state's game author
ities in closing the state except for
a few counties in the extreme south
eastern section to the hunting of the
ruffed grouse for a year seems to
have met with favor in many sec
tions judging from word coming
here. Some objections have been
heard of, but in the main the step,
the most extensive of the kind taken
without legislative enactment, is
supported. Lehigh and Montour
counties, two of the six which had
not tiled petitions have sent word
that they will file in a short time
and York and Adams will probably
follow suit.
; The general desire to protect the
quail resulted in closing for another
year's time of a number of the west
ern counties, which had been closed
by the commission. Allegheny coun
ty, for instance, was closed for two
years because of requests to further
conserve its quail, deer and phea
sants. Washington, Westmoreland,
Butler and Lawrence were closed
for one year pn quail and pheasants
and some stocking will be done!
Several eastern counties were also
closed. About half of the counties
which had been closed under action
taken a few years ago on petitions
for conservation of various game,
have been closed for a year. The
western county sportsmen have been
moving more systematically than
the east to protect the quail.
Reports to the game commission
indicate great activity of the game
protectors in enforcing fish laws
and the statutes against aliens hav
ing firearms. The protectors have
made over 600 arrests for violations
of fish laws in conjunction with the
fish wardens, while they have taken
scores of guns and reported to state
police or food administrators hoard
ers of explosives, food and provi
sion. This is a little known branch
of useful activity of the game offi
cers in war time.*

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
TOBACCO RATION
FOR AMERICANS
IS A POSSIBILITY
Government May Limit the
"Smokes" and Control
Whole Industry
Washington, July 15.—Govern
ment control of the tobacco Industry
of the United States may result from
the heavy requirements of the armies
and the American military forces
abroad. Rationing of the American
population is believed to be a pos
sibility.
The war industries board announc
ed yesterday it has been conducting
an investigation to determine the
requirements abroad and the amount
that must be conserved in this coun
try to met the situation. It estimates
that approximately two-thirds of the
leaf tobacco raised in this country in
I 1917 will be available for American
manufacturers. Out of this must
come cigarets and pipe tobacco for
troops not yet overseas and exports
of manufactured tobacco in addi
tion to cigarets and tobacco pur
chased here for Belgium.
810,000.000 Pounds for Allies
The crop in 1917 was 1,196,000,000
pounds, and of this the board esti
mates that 850,000,000 pounds will
be available this year for United
States manufacturers while 346,000,
000 pounds of the leaf will be avail
able for export to the allies.
Tobacco issued to the military
forces of England, France nnd Italy
amounts to approximately 159,000,-
000 pounds a year, the board said.
England and France each allot 40
per cent, of their entire consump
tion to the army and navy, and Italy
allows her military forces 45 per
| cent. The total yearly consumption
of the entire populations of these
countries the board estimates at
i 387,000,000 pounds, or 41,000,000
more than this country is able to ex
port.
Consumption Here Large
Persons who pointed to possible
government control in order to as
[ sure tobacco, for the allies and
American forces said it is more than
probable that with the allied armies
consuming between 40 and 45 per
cent, of the total consumption in al
lied countries, American forces
would use more than 50 per cent, of
the total amount used in the United
Stales. The War Industries Board
quotes the annual per capita con
sumption of the United States and
the allies as follows:
Italy, two pounds; France, three
and a half pounds; Great Britain,
four pounds, and the United States, l
seven and a half pounds.
England, France and Italy are now
chiefly dependent on imports from |
the United States, as their imports
from other tobacco-growing coun
tries has been materially reduced
through lack of shipping and in
ability to import from Turkey and
Bulgaria.
