day placed before Fuel Administrator

Tlie Hardwood Electric Company,
operating in Schuylkill, Carbon,
Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne
and Montour counties has filed notice
of an increase in electric rates with
the Public Service Commission. The
York Railways Company, has also
filed notice of an increase in fares.
Lieutenant Colonel W. D. I'liler,
chief engineer of the State HighwaJ
Department, now on army duty at
Washington, was at the Capitol to
day. He will spend several days and
have a talk with Commissioner
O'Neil regarding the progress of

Capitol congratulated him on his re
cent promotion.
Commissioner of Fisheries Natlian
R. Buller has returned from a hatch
ery inspection trip.
Men of the draft age In Philadel
phia who had failed to appear for
examination or entrainment and were
classed as delinquents and so certi
fied by local draft boards to district
appeal board No. 2, but which the
appeal board failed to certify to the
Adjutant General, are to be put back
on the classification list and sent
questionnaires. Their numbers will
not be changed. A ruling to this
effect was received to-day from
Washington by State Draft Head
quarters. When the local boards
certified the names to the district
appeal board the men were stricken
from the lists. They will bo put back
and called up.
The Publie Service Commission
has sustained a complaint of the
borough of Ashland against the ac
tion of the Schuylkill Railway Com
pany, In advancing fares from six to
seven cents on May 28, 1917, and
ordered the old six cent rate to be
restored. The opinion in the case
was rendered by the commission and
after upholding the right of the bor
ough to make the complaint analyses
the business of the company. In
commenting upon the contention of
the company that the increase was
justified iby increased cost of labor
and materials the opinion says "In
creases in labor and material might
justify an increased rate of fare If It
were shown that additional revenue
was needed; but where, as in the
present case, the operation of the
company for years past shows very
substantial surplus after deducting
expenses, taxes and depreciation, the
higher cost of labor and material is
not alone sufficient to support an in
crease in the rate to seven cents
per zone. Something more should
be shown."
Cecil Proclaims an
Economic League For
the Entente Countries
London, July 15.—An economic
association of twenty-four naUons
comprising the Entente Allies is al
ready in existence, said Lord Robert
Cecil, British Under-Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs and Min
-a-t luatuajtfis n u; apt:>poia jo .tajsii
garding the world's trade after the
war.
Whether Germany eventually shall
be admitted to this economic as
sociation declared the British min
ister, will be determined by the test
established by President Wilson,
when the President said on Decem
ber 4 that if the German people
should still, after the war was over,
"continue to be obliged to live under
ambitious and intriguing masters in
terested to disturb the peace of the
world," it might be impossible to
admit them to the partnership of the
nations or to free economic inter
course.
Lord Robert described this state
ment by the President as a definition
of the qualifications for member
ship in the association of nations,
and added: "To these declarations
we give our warmest assent."

PRIVATE AMBULANCE PHONES
MONDAY EVENING,
Y. M. C. A. BOYS
HAVE MUCH FUN
Lads Publish Their Own
"Newspaper" Along Banks
of Susquehanna
Camp Bowman, July 16.—Camp
Bowman, which is the lovely spot be
tween the mountain and the Susque
hanna river, just below Liverpool,
where upward of thirty Y. M. C. A.
boys, of Harrisburg are spending ten
days under the cartful guidance of
Messrs. Dinsmore and Miller, of the
Harrisburg association, weathered
yesterday s storms in fine shape and
presented a joyful, gladsome appear
ance to the numerous visitors .who
drove up from Harrisburg.
There is a rumor that the camp
may continue four days beyond
schedule, but that may have origi
nated in the minds of certain en
thusiastic young chaps who never
get enough of the outdoors. There
is strong hope, however, that it has
some foundation in fact.
The lads are all in good health and
from bugle call in the morning until
"lights out" at night the camp is a
•lively place. Swimming, boating,
athletic contests, mountain clmbing,
nature study, character building ex
! ercises and a little Indian prayer
song as the lads stand with clasped
hands in a circle about the dying
carnpftre just as bedtime ap
proaches. are among the activities
of the day. Among those who at
tended the campfire Saturday even
ing were former Mayor J. William
Bowman and family, of Harrisburg;
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Foose, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Davenport, Mr. and Mrs.
G. M. Steinmetz and others to the
number that made necessary the
spreading of two tables for the vis
itors at the supper hour.
A feature of Saturday's campfire
was the reading of the first issue of
the camp paper, "The Liverpill
Cure," the staff beingm ade up of
"Bill" Diener, editor-in-chief; "Joe"
Clement, advertising manager; "Al"
Tossis, society editor; Ross Lyon, I
joke editor; "Bud'' Beard, sporting
editor, and "Jim" Bowman, circula
tion manager.
The "sheet" boasts many features
of metropolitan papers. Editorials,
news and advertisements are all pre
sented "first hand" without the help
of linotype machines and monstrous
cylinder presses.
Commenting on "Camp Spirit" In
the editorial column. Editor Diener
writes:
"Necessity is the mother of inven
tion; camp spirit Is a necessity. It
can be secured only by the closest
co-operation of all the campers. The
campers should dispel all thoughts
of self and think more of Camp
Bowman and its welfare. As you
know this is the first year for Camp
Bowman, and our object is to put it
on the map. So let us pull together
and show the world that the Harris
burg Y. M. C. A. is a live, up-to-date
institution."
The paper possesses a live column
of lighter matter, published under
the head " 'Joke's' Humorous Hits."
From this we glean:
"Aming the distinguished guests
at Camp Bowman were Muddy Feet
and Miss Fortune."
In the same column under the
caption, "Stuff to Lose Sleep Over,"
we find:
" 'Al' Tossis has a boll in No
Man's Land."
Reading further we come to the
"live" advertising section of the
oreezy journal where we find:
"Wanted—A cure for sore feet.
■Vpply to Mr. Miller.
"Wanted—A lawnmower for Mr.
Dinsmore's whiskers.
"Strayed—Mr. Miller's Mustache.
"Stolen—A good disposition. Fin
der please return to Miss Calculate
ar her brother. Will Calculate."

Germans False in Ideals;
Against a World League
Peace Through Army, Aim
London, July 15. —A sharp indict
ment of the rulers of Germany by
Maximilian Harden is contained in
a current number of Die Zukunft.
The holders of high offices, he is
quoted as saying by the Rotterdam
correspondent of the Daily Tele
graph, when it seems useful to them
selves, profess to favor a new world
order of democracy and national
peace, but they really are only car
rying on the tradition of the power
of the sword.
"No high personage in the German
empire," he says, "wishes to see set
up a league of nations, adhesion to
which has been declared by the states
of North and' South America and
representatives of England, Prance,
Italy. Canada, Australia and India.
The continuance of endeavors to
conceal this fact has become un
necessary since Brest-Litovsk and
Bucharest.
"We know what the enemy wants
and we know we have a government
which calling itself pan-German or
whatever else it likes, only expects
peace through the might of,the army
and feels certain of obtaining it in
a short time.
"We may be certain that no words
of theirs will ever gain belief any
where."

TEV SITES OFFERED
The commission to select a site for
the new Eastern State Hospital for
the Insane, met at the Capitol to
day with offers of ten- sites, but took
no action. Inspections will be made.:
ONECOUNTRYCLUB
WILL CLOSE HOUSE
Ft. Hunter Establishment Will
Be Affected; Colonial Will
Burn Wood This Winter
Indications are that the fuel ad.
ministration order against country
clubs using coal this winter will
close the new clubhouse of the
Country Club of Harrisburg, but
that the Colonial Country Club will
burn wood and remain open.
John C. Herman, of the house
committee of the Harrisburg Coun
try Club, said this morning that the
Fort Hunter Club will be closed if
the order forbids the consumption
of coal during the winter months.
He was uncertain if the order tor
bids the consumption of coal after
December 1, or the purchase of
coal. There is a considerable supply
on hand at the club, which would
last through the winter.
Last winter the club was closed
January for the remainder of the
winter, and the club's coal supply
offered for sale to anyone who was
without fuel. The action was taken
voluntarily by the club.
The relict of the fuel administrator
says that country clubs may remain
open if they burn peat, wood or
anything besides coal to heat their
rooms. It was said this morning by
one of the board of governors that
the burning of anything besides coal
would not be practical.
The Colonial Country Club has
anticipated the Fuel Administration's
order prohibiting country clubs from
purchasing coal for winter use, said
Anson D. Dare, chairman of the
house committee this morning. The
club committee has purchased a
large supply of wood and the club
will be operated during the coming
winter, he said. The purchase of the
wood was made about a month ago.
SECRETARY OX VACATION
Daniel S. Culp, office secretary at
the Central Y. M. C. A. left for a

and his parents at his home in

At the Norma Talmadge is seen
Colonial at her best as De Luxe Annie
the 2d, in which, it is said,
she gives a subtle touch of craftness
to the role which is very effective, at
moments she rising to quite unexpect
ed heights. Her piquant beauty is
more noticeable than ever, though she
sacrifices it dauntlessly during one
brief scene, when she is clothed in
rags. For the most part her clothes

Sessue Hayakawa is one of the
most polished actors on the screen to
day. His in-

Monduy an<l Tuesday strained and
highly artis
tic rendition of the roles in Para
mount pictures, for which he has been
cast for a long time, have stamped
him indelibly as an historic artist of
the first degree. Mr. Hayakawa made
his first hit in support of Fanny Ward
in "The Cheat," and shortly after star
red In "The Honorable Friend," fol
lowing which he appeared as the star
in many Paramount plays. Always he
has excelled In his work, lending
himself to characterizations of various
types, Japanese, Hindu, Mexican and
so on.
He is an artist in makeup, and not
only an,emotional star but a comedian

"Forthe first time since my child

Katie Zeigler, of Rockville, a town

the man who discovered this won
derful medicine will find his reward
in heaven, for thanks to its help my
health and happiness have returned
and I can rest for the first time in
many years."

"Hashimura Togo." In hi* new Para
mount picture. "The White Man's
Law," written by Marion Fairfax and
John Browne, no doubt he will again
score with a portrayal of an Arabian

less artistic.
Owing to the phenomenal success
of the Harry P. Krivit Company dur
ing the past three weeks
Paxtans at the Paxtang Park
Park Theater, the management
Theater has decided to hold the
show over for the fourth
week. This week's bill will be a new
musical comedy oddity entitled, "I
Don't Want to Get Well."
In this piece Seymour Brown will
play a somewhat new character for i
him, a happy-go-lucky negro, very ill
at ease in a temperance town. He fails
in his efforts to get a drink in the
town, so he goes to the "You Can't Get
Well Hospital," and is immediately
put to work. From then on funny
situations develop thick and fast.
Mr. Brown will be ably assisted in
this new comedy by Charles Vaughn,
Nellie DeGrasse, Tim Whelan and
Margie Phillips, while Krivit's bunch
of beauties that make up the chorus
will be much in evidence. A big fea
ture of the new act is the finale. Dur
ing this part of the show the com
pany introduces their "Syncopated
Wedding," which is guaranteed to
be a sure cure for the blues. Many
other new numbers will be Introduced,
including, "Yum-Yum," "Everything
Can't Be True," "Amuse the Girls," "I
Should Worry," and "Wedding Bells."
In these stirring war timfs, when
the newspapers are full of column
after column
"Up Romance Road," cone erning
at the Victoria the profiteer
ing in various
lines, getting one's money's worth
seems to be an exception rather than
the rule. To-day's program at the
Victoria seems to be giving more
than the money's worth at the price,
when one considers that William Rus
sell, "Fighting Bill Russell," in 'Up
Romance Road," and Tom Mix, in a
screaming comedy, "Who's Your
Father'?." will be shown together with
official war pictures released by the
Committee on Public Information.
"Up Romance Road" is an expose of
German Kulture and their campaign
of intimidation to prevent the en
trance of America into the war. A
smooth-running love story is inter
woven and shows how Gregory
Thorpe, the hero of the story, bests
the master minds of Germany.
