Gettysburg High School
Overcrowded With Pupils
Gettysburg, Pa., July 22. —From
present Indications the local high
school will be more overcrowded
than ever. For several years the
high school has not been able to ac
commodate the pupils In the manner
desired by the school or the faculty
and everything possible has been
done to relieve the situation. Last
I year's graduating class numbered
thirty-three, which with a few who
always step school before they have
finished a course, might make the
number forty who will not return.
The incoming freshman class will
likely number seventy, making the
situation one that is causing con
siderable worry to those in charg/e.
A year or more ago the directors
put up to the people the question of
building a new high school, but this
was turned down by a substantial ma
jority at the election. Something
must now be done and the directors
are negotiating with several prop
erty owners. It Is altogether likely
that before many days go by an addi
tional property will be purchased
where the household arts depart
ment will be housed, giving the en
tire school building over to the
teaching of the academic branches.

THREE KILLED |
WHEN ELECTRIC i
CAR HITS AUTO
Mechanicsburg Youths Tried '
to Cross Grade Ahead
of Train
After the driver had attempted to
speed past an electric car on the
Cumberland Valley Railroad yester
day afternoon, near Mechanicsburg, |
three youths of that town were in
stantly killed when their automobile
was struck and hurled 25 feet. An
other suffered injuries so bad that
he is in a critical condition at the
Harrisburg Hospital, and three
others suffered slight bruises and
CUtB.
Roy Eckert, Herbert Rider and
Earl SheafTer are dead. Eugene Getz
is in the Harrisburg Hospital in a!
critical condition with his left fore- j
arm broken, with a deep gash on |
his head and with bad cuts on his I
nose and chin and around his mouth. |
He may have suffered internal in- 1
juries. Glenn Morrett, Lambert j
Hooper and Benjamin Snelbaker,
Jr., suffered only slight injuries. All |
were between 16 and 18 years old. j
Eckert was the son of Park Eck-;
ert.East Locust street; Sheaffer of j
L. W. Sheaffer,~W r est Marble street; j
Rider, of Mrs. Tura , Geiling, East;
Locust street. Getz is the son of
Charles Getz, East Simpson street;
Snelbaker, of B. F. Snelbaker, pro
prietor of the Mechanicsburg Shirt
factory. East Simpson street; Hooper,
an employe of the Adams Express
Company in its Harrisburg office, is
the son o James Hooper; Morrett,
proprietor of a North Market street
cigar store, is married.
Yesterday afternoon the seven
youths started for a swim in the
Conodoguinet creek in an automobile
owned by James Hooper, father of
one of the injured youths, and driven
by Morrett As they came to the
York street crossing of the Cumber
land Valley Railroad, an electric car,
running between Dillsburg and I
Mechanicsburg, was seen approach
ing. and Morrett stepped on the ac
celerator to speed cross.
The front part of the automobile
had barely passed the tracks when
the car crashed into it. Getz, Eckert
and Snelbaker, in the rear of the
machine, and Morrett and Hooper,
In front were hurled out. Snelbaker
was the only one in the rear to es
cape with slight injuries.
Eckert was hurled across the rail
road tracks. The bodies of Sheaffer
and Rider were pinned beneath the
automobile and that of Sheaffer was
literally cut in two. The clothing
of practically all the vicUms was
torn to pieces.
The automobile was entirely de
molished and the front steps on one
side of the electric car was broken
off.
N. A. Cook, motorman, and Alex.
Wireman, both of Dillsburg, were in,
charge of car. The motorman is
said by bystanders to have sounded
his bell, which went unnoticed .by
the autoists. He threw on his emer
gency brakes when the car sped
across the tracks, but was unable to
prevent the accident.
Investigations have been conducted
by an agent of State Investigator of
Accidents J. P. Dohoney. His re
port is expected, later in the day.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad will
conduct an investigation while an
inquest will be held this evening by
Coroner G. H. Deardorff.
Germany Harshly Criticised
by Marysville Minister
Marysville, Pa., July 22.—Germany
was harshly criUcised again last
evening in the sermon of the Rev. S.
B. Bidlack, of the Methodist Episco
pay Church speaking on "False War
Teaching's That Should Be Correct
ed."
"We should not be too eager to
forgive Germany," he said. "This
ardent desire to forgive may lead one
into sentimentallsm and weakness
that would give victory to our ene
mies and to crime. Many seem to
think that forgiveness rests on one
persons alone at all time and in all
places. This is not so. I recently read 1
an editorial In a religious paper
stating that Germany must not be
asked to pay a large Indemnity after
the war, lest she should harbor a
hatred In her heart that would cause
another war.
"Then the French indemnity paid
to Germany since 1871 and the
French hatred was used as an illus -
tration. This is so wrong an argue
ment and illustration. It is almost a
plea for Germany, the most criminal
of all nations that ever had an ex
lstence. To advocate forgiveness to
the central nations now which are
so brazen, criminal and determined
to conquer the world, Is throwing
away this refined attribute for beasts
to trample under foot. Not until the
evildoer sees his folly. Is sorry and
repents to the nations so Berlously
wronged, can forgiveness be shown."

and the wooden city looked more
like a picnic ground than a training
camp for soldiers. The thermometer
at division headquarters pushed close
to the 100-degree mark during the
afternoon.
Many of the negro selects will be
come members of the 808 th Infantry
Regiment, now in course of organi
zation. Negro men of education,
clerks, stenographers, college gradu
ates who are within the draft age
and who have not been called, but
who will be called soon, will do well
to make application at once to get
into this new organization. They
may do so by applying to their draft
boards and asking to be advanced
along the list. Such applicants will
have a splendid chance of being made
noncoms —that is if they measure up
to the mark. Military experience will
not be necessary.
The 17,000 now coming will be the
advance guard of that great body of
soldiers which is to make Meade the
biggest cantonment In the country,
bringing up the normal population
of this camp to between 55,000 and
60,000 men. The work of erecting
the barracks for the 11,000 members
of the signal corps, who are to be
here, already has started.
JULY 22, 1918.
COAL OUTPUT IS
ABOVE NEEDS OF
NATION IN WAR
Record Production Is Shown
For Week of July 13 of
13,243,000 Tons"
Washington, July 22.—jTen more
weeks of coal production equivalent
to that for the week ending July 13
will mean the overcoming of the
present shortage, Fuel Administra
tor Garfield declared yesterday In
announcing the output of American
mines for that period amounted to
a record production of 13,243,000
tons.
Should the pace be maintained for
the next two months, it was said, the
output for the present coal year
would average up to the 12,211,500
tons estimated by the fuel adminis
tration as the weekly requirements
of the nation.
According to the weekly report
furnished by the United States Geo
graphical Survey, this 13,243;000-ton
bituminous output, Including lignite
and coal mode Into coke, is an in
crease over the week of July 6 (five
working days) of 2,987,000 net tons,
or 29 per cent., and over the corres
ponding week of last year of 1,479,-
000 net tons, or 12.5 per cent.
The average production per work
ing day is estimated at 2,007,000 net
tons, as against 2,051,000 net tons
during the week of July 6, or an in
crease of 7.6 per cent., and as com
pared with the average production
per working day of 1,961,000 per
tons during the corresponding week
of 1917.
The average weekly production for |
the coal year to date is 11,568,0001
net tons, or 5.3 per cent, behind thel
weekly requirements. In order to!
make up the deficit it will be neces
sary to have approximately ten more
weeks of production equivalent to
that of last week, or a production of
12,472,000 net tons during each of
the 'thirty-seven remaining weeks
in the coal year ending March 31,
1919. This figure has only twice
been attained —The week of June
15 and the week here reported.
Reports from the carriers show in
creased shipments for the week of
July 13 ranging from 26 to 36 per
cent. /
Anthracite shipments for the week
also Increased, the records showing
42,331 cars of anthracite, against 31,-
493 cars during the week of July 6.
Army to Rescue Russia
Need Not Be a Big One
Washington, July 22.—T0 create
a nucleus for the organization of a
new Russian army it will not be
necessary to send a large allied-
American force into Siberia.
With the 60,000 Czecho-Slovaks
now along the Trans-Siberian rail
road an additional 50,000 men should
ibe ample to furnish all necessary
protection while economic assist
ance is being distributed in an effort
to restore the morale of the people.
This is the conviction of men in
touch with the Russian situation and
in position to speak with authority
as to the real needs presented., The
first thing that must be done, it was
pointsd out , is to go to the assist
ance of the Czecho-Slovaks by fur
nishing complete equipment and sup
plies for every man their command
er can muster.
This body of trained troops al
ready constitutes a nucleus for the
organization of a larger forc§. It Is
necessary to have American and al
lied troops in order that the Russians
may be fully reassured as to the real
purpose behind the movement.

Feet Bothered Her
All the Time
Trouble Was So Bad That
Sometimes Mrs. Gray Could
Hardly Get About.
TANLAC RELIEVED HER
"I can't begin to tell you how I
suffered with my feet and limbs."
says Mrs. Velma Gray, of North 7th
St., Harrisburg, Pa. "They trouble !
constantly and crippled me so that
I was often unable to walk about the
house.
"It was awful. My feet would burn
like fire all the time and nothing I
could do would give me any relief
although I tried everything I could
think of.
"Then suddenly they would begin
to swell and they would puff up un
til there was a great ridge at the top
of my shoes and I would have agon
i izing pains in both feet and limbs.
"Finally I made up my mind to
try Tanlac as a last resort and to my
delight it began to help me right
away. Now the swelling and pain
has all gone away and I can walk all
day without suffering.
"It is certainly a wonderful reliel
and I cannot find words to expres.i
my gratitude to Tanlac and I want
to spread the news of my relief so
that others may benefit."
The genuine Tanlac bears the
name 'J. T. Gore Co.' on outside car
ton of each bottle. Look for It.
