MMHMnnrrinaKiM : The Specialty Store For Men and Boys, 310 Market St. THURSDAY EVENING; !vote, twenty-six being needed, this] number being mad* up of nominees who arc declared to be certain of , election and holdovers. ! The Dry Federation made public I tho names of 103 nominees for the House whom It claims will note to ratify and who are asserted to be I sure of election. In some cases tho | names of more than one nominee fcr ! a single v%.*ancy Is given, this being ! due to the fact that the district is 1 close and both candidates are count -1 ed as dry. The names of eight others are J withheld for the present, it is said-,! because these nominees have refus ed to permit the public use of their! names in this connection, but the! Dry Federation asserted that .these j men have privately pledged thern > selves and are regarded as safe, thereby making the total of 110 claimed. In commenting upon the list ot names made public by the Dry Fed-J eration. Dr. Harris, the state super intendent. said: ' ' There is absolutely no doubt thut i th j House Is safe for rati.Vatlon and ,jthHt ihe Senate Is only slightly lets ; so. However, It Is not our Intention to take too much for granted. In' | addition to tho districts of the lower \ house given as secure, there are close ! ] contests for about twenty-five other! ; seats and the dry forces will en-' deavor to make the majority even . ; larger by electing some of these j men. In tho Senate we believe that j real fights exist In only six of the'' ! districts given—the Fourteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-fourth, Twenty- I I sixth. Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth, I : and we are entering our strength in 1 | these places. I "Our margin in the Senate as i things now stand is not a very large | ono but we feel safe in making the ! prediction that the next Peunsyl ; vania Legislature will ratify. I "In addition to the htfld-over Sen ators minted there are several others | whom we expect to vote on our side who did not do so last year. The I reason for this is the fact that when the hold-over Senators were elected j ratification was not an issue and the | people in their districts had no op portunity to indicate to their repre sentatives in the Senate how they • wished them to vote. "At the recent primary, however. : ratification was the dominant issue ; and the people of certain legislative districts which are included in Sen ; atonal districts represented by hold ; over Senators who voted wet last yer'r oave unmistakably declared themselves in favor of ratification by nominating dry men for the lower house. This is particularly true in the Twenty-first district, represented by Senator Sterling R. Catlin; the , twenty-fifth district, represented by i Senator Frank E. Baldwin; the Twenty-seventh district, represented iby Senator William C. McConnell, and the Thirty-fifth d strict, repre l sented by Senator Hor.ice A. Tomp kins. We expect these four Sena tors to analyze the d.-y cote at the Mer primaries and to a~t accord ing!;*." Congressmen Run When Shells Fall WiUi the American Forces on the AL-we-Mju-no Front, Aug. I.—| half dozen war-tired American Congress men slowly made their way back to Paris after having witnessed from a hillside on Monday the tussle for possession of the town of Sergy, two and a half miles southeast of tire former German base at Fere-en- Tardenois, in the Soissons-Rheims j pocket. The Congressmen saw American infantrymen in action, witnessed the firing of Entente Allied big guns, and heard the rattle of German machine guns and the crashing of the heavy cannon of the German Crown Prince. The Congressmen probably woul4 have remained on the eminence longer had not the German heavy shells began exploding overhead. That ended the sightseeing trip in that vicinity, one Congressman re i marking that the Germans could nuit that sort of business right then so far as he was concerned. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH EICHHORN MOST 5 RUTHLESS KIEV KAISER GENERAL i Unrelenting in Starving and Plundering Ukraine For j i Germany's Benefit i i London, Aug. 1. —The Amsterdam 1 * correspondent of The Daily Express J t telegraphs: ' j "The assassinaUon of Field Mar- i J shal von Eiehhorn, while causing j widespread indignation in Germany.!] I must have occasioned little surprise j 1 among those who knew what this | most ruthless or all the kaiser's gen-j i > i*ra!s had done at Kiev to starve and j " 'plunder Vkraine for the benefit of f I Germany. "From the very beginning Eich-1 1 horn treated the Ukrainians as slaves i i whose only reason for living was to I ; see that Germany obtained enough j| I food from the land. His first measure' | was to force the peasants under the] ; most severe penalties to cultivate I I the land for the Germans' benefit. His I last was to fix a price for corn which I would enable the Germans to obtain brend more cheaply, ■but which would absolutely ruin the I'kraine I peasants and landowners. ; "The climax was reached when he | had two popular members of the first j I'kraine government arrested ayd sentenced to various terms of im j prisonment for plotting against Ger- I VMany. The sentence of the German field tribunal last week caused gen eral indignation. Journalist* Sound Warning | "Germany will see to it that Eich ! horn's murderer is punished at once, but the matter will certainly not rest there. German journalists who trav j eled through I'kraine recently all re j Berlin sounding the note of | warning that the Germans were more hated there than anywhere in the world. The fact that Eichhorn's as sassin Is a Russian and not a Ukrain ian is significant. It will probably cause Germany to seek a qi&rrel, not : so much with the Skoropadski gov | ernment at Kiev, which is German through and through, only moving at the German ambassador's beck and call, but with the Moscow gov ernment. which Is unable to discover Ambassador Mirbach's murderers. "There are many signs that Ger- i many only awaits the opportunity of I ; breaking with the Bolshevikl now j that their power is waning. The j j newspapers are more and more in sistent about the punishment of Mir-1 bach's murderers. A semi-official note i published yesterday by the foreign i office accused the Bolshevist envoys now visiting Berlin with the object of "completing'" the Brest-Litovsk; treaty of doing everything to destroy that treaty, and hinted plainly that j Germany's patience was being sorely ; tried by the Bolsheviki. "A few days will show whether J the assassination of Eiehhorn will serve as a pretext for a rupture with the Bolsheviki, or whether Hinden burg and Hertling will await the as- 1 sassination of the kaiser's next en-1 voy to Russia. • Wilson Likely to Call Miners From Army Washington, Aug. I.—Within a few days President Wilson will issue a proclamation relating to the coal mine labor problem that will be i somewhat along the lines aSked by the National Coal Association. At the same time he will cause action to be taken in regard to drafted miners. It is said the proclamaUon will go to the utmost limits in using the President's prestige as a means of stimulating the miners to renewed 1 efforts. The action as to the draft ; probably will be such as to make ! possible the return on furlough of miners already in the Army, and will positively suspend the applica tion of the draft law to all coal miners until after March 2, 1919. An appeal also will be made, it is likely, to miners who have left the mines for other employment to re turn to them. Whether any attention will be paid to the appeal of the operators that national prohibition be put into effect immediately as the most im portant step in increasing coal pro- | duction is not known, but it is In timated that the President will go to surprising lengths in his effort to assist production. To Begin Work on New Second Baptist Church Harold A. Hippie, contractor, began construction of the new edifice for the Second Baptist Church, Monday. The new structure will, it is said, rank among; the most beautiful churches in the city. The entire building will be built along modern lines and will be a monument to the splendid perservance of the men and women who have labored long and 1 faithfully for the upbuilding of tfie Second BapUst congregation. Much inconvenience has fell to the fortune of the church members since their church building was burned. Incongruous as it may seem, they worshipped in a dance hall for a long while. They have had many trials and discouragements but in the fu ture expect to have brighter times. The entire building will not be completed at the present time. The ground floor and foundation of,the Bible school, it is expected, will be built in the near future, and as soon as the finances of the congregation improve, they will continue the con struction. —^ "The church members are making many sacrifices for the new building and they appeal to all their friends j who have made pledges to give cer-! tain sums, or who would like to give)! something to help them," says the j ] Rev. Albert Josiah Greene, pastor of j the church. "It will require about HO,OOO to do what we hope to do at this time." U. S. Considers Seizure of AU Traction Lines Carter Field, in the New York Tribune, says: "There is excellent authority for the statement that the federal government will before very long take over virtually all of the street railway systems in important cities in the United States. This in cludes all of the systems in New York City, subways and elevated, as well as surface lines. "MAJOR" JvONG IS ARMY DESERTER J. A. Long, who has been held as a deserter and forger by Lieutenant Lesher. of the Harrisburg recruiting! party, since his arrest at Ephrata last, week by state police, and who claim ed to be a major, was sent to Fort Monroe to be court martialed as a deserter, forger, and to answer a charge of larceny. He deserted un der the name of Sullivan, it Is said.
