By Associated Press
Tjonrion, Aug. 3.—Lance Corporal

Rangers, who was landed on the
coast of Ireland from a German
submarine three months was
pronounced guilty yesterday and
sentenced to death. The sentence,
however, was commuted to penal
bertliude for life.
Early In Juno It was announced
In the House of Commons that an
unnamed man had been put ashore
on the west coast of Ireland from a
German submarine. A collapsible
boat was used to convey the man
from the submarine to the shore.
A few days later it was announced
in Commons by James I. MacPher
son, parliamentary secretary to the
war office, that the man, then a
prisoner In the Tower of London,
was Lance Corporal Joseph Dow
ling, of the Connaught Rangers.
Dowling's trial by court martial
opened on July 8. The prisoner, of
medium height and slim, and of a
wide-awake appearance, pleaded
r.ot guilty to the formal charges, !
which were under three heads:
First, that while he was a pris
oner of war in Germany he Joined
a hostile force; second, that he en
deavored to induce others to join;
third, that he participated in an at
tempt to land a hostile force In
Ireland.

Yankee Troops Widely

Will Correct Casualties
By Associated Press
Washington. Aug. 3.—"1 have re- [
ceived a cablegram from General
Pershing in regard to reports of
casualties," said Secretary Baker
yesterday. "He points out that our
troops are still widely separated,
, serving in many places, and that our
wounded are taken to French hos- j
pitals, as well as our own, caus- 5
ing great difficulty and complication'
in securing accurate information. j
"In addition to thi3, the troops 1
are separated from their records!

New Yorker Staats-Zeitung
Tells of 'Rude Awakening'
. of German-Americans
New York, Aug. 3.—Under the
caption "German Debit and Credit"
the New Torker Staats-Zeitung pub
lishes the following editorial:
"To-day four years ago, as Prince
Lichnowsky has shown us, the Ger
man military party, by declaring war
upon Russia, brought on a catastro
phe under which the world must suf
fer unspeakably. Four years of gi
gantic struggle such as history never
saw before. And what has Germany
achieved during this four-year world
war?
"On the credit side of her ledger
we find:
"1. Germany has taken possession
of nearly all of Belgium and a part
—now growing even smaller —of
Northern France.
"2. She has taken rich booty and
many prisoners.
"3. Through th revolution and
the subsequent early collapse of the
Russian Empire, she has temporarily
through the outrageous treaty of
Brest-Litovsk, enslaved the now
helpless Russian people who are
struggling for liberty.
"4. Together with Austria-Hun
gary, Germany has well-nigh de
stroyed Serbia and Montenegro and
crippled Rumania.
"6. She has helped Bulgaria and
Turkey to increase their territory,
and, as former Ambassador Morgen
thau says In his series of articles in
the current numbers of The World's
Work, she encouraged the Turkish
military leaders. Enver Pasha, Ta
laat Bey, and Djemal, to massacre
over one million Armenians and oth
er Christian inhabitants of contigu
ous territory,
"6. She has sunk millions of tons
of shipping and destroyed property
worth billions, showing no regard
for the lives of noncombatants, and
not even for those of women and
children.
"7. The military party hindered
the passage of the election reform
bill and delayed the progress of
democracy in blocking the Reichstag j
resolution for 'no annexation and no
indemnities.'
"All these are the 'achievements'
pf Germany under the whip of the
military party. But what do we
find in the other side of the ledger!
"1. Germany has sacrificed the)
flower of her arms-bearing youth, j
Millions of her sons have fallen on ,
the field of battle, have .been crippled J
or taken prisoners losses which
cannot be made good by the greatest j
victories.
"2. She has lost by far the great- j
est of her colonies in Africa and else-j
where, and has placed a burden of,
debt upon her people under which i
they will have to groan for decades
to come.
"3. She has completely demoraliz-;
ed her domestic commerce. She has;
brought her people to want and,
hunger and destroyed her foreign!
commerce for an indeterminate per-j
led. For the last four years her mer- j
chant flag has not been sent upon the 1
seas of the world.
"4. The acts of her army com
manders and statesmen have!
brought the German name into dis
repute in America. For more than,
two hundred years German-Amcr- j
leans successfully endeavored to
build a new and happy home fori
themselves and their descendtnts and J
took are that their name should'
be respected everywhere. Their in-j
dustry and sense of duty became |
proverbial everywhere, and now In j
bitterness at heart they had to see |
that they were regarded with dis- j
gust. However, through their un- j
shakeable loyalty to the United States
they have succeeded in retaining the j
confidence and good-will of their i
fellow-citizens. This in spite of the!
doings of the German military party.!
"5. Millions of the people of Ger-;
many are firmly convinced, even if j
they do not dare to speak of it open- j
ly, that the defeat of the present au-!
tocratic- government would be a!
blessing for them and their poster-j
ity. They have at last seefl through j
the motives of their rulers, whose
purposes are selfish and aim at the
suppression of the ideas of liberty!
and the forcing of their hated gov- •
ernment upon the whole world.
"For a long time German-Amer-'
leans were unable to see the peril, [
and rude was their awakening. Their'
sense of duty showed them the right
course to pursue. They point with
pride to their sons and grandsons l
lighting for them under the Star-;
Spangled Banner. And they will
fight on until every danger is remov
ed and the world relieved of a bur
den which lies upon It like an in
cubus, for it is only through the
overthrow of the present German
government that the repetition of a
similar world catastrophe can be
yrevented."

To Form Truck Train.—Adjutant
General Beary is arranging for the
formation of a truck train for the
Reserve Militia of Pennsylvania. The
place has not yet been designated
t and a study of conditions is being
made. General Beary says that ex
perience in the preparations for the
Mt. Gretna camp demonstrated the
superiority of the motor vehicle over
horse drawn wagons for the militia
and that the train will be establish
ed. Authority will be asked of the
Legislature for other auxiliary
troops. Word has been received at
the State Capitol that each of the
regiments and the cavalry squad
ron of the Reserve Militia will be
represented at the rifle matches by
complete teams. The matches will
begin August 12.
, Many Tractors.—There are ap
proximately 2,250 tractors at work
on the farms of Pennsylvania, ac
cording to men at the State Depart
ment of Agriculture who are fol
lowing such matters and the number
is increasing weekly. In some dis
tricts the number of tractors has
doubled and orders are in for many
! more of them. A few years ago
there were so few tractors plowing
on Pennsylvania farms that they
were a curiosity, but now in the
eastern agricultural counties they
are numerous. Plowing by tractors
for wheat seeding has been started
in some of the counties of the state.
Public Service List.—The applica
tion of the Chester Valley Electrfc:
Company for the purchase of the
property and franchises of the
Downingtown Electric Company, and
of tha Philadelphia and Reading
Railway for approval of plans for
the new bridge across the Susque
hanna at Harrisburg are listed to

To Start at Once.— ATrangements
are being made for a prompt start
of work on the sections of the Balti
more piko in and Chester
counties on which contracts for con
struction were let at the State High
way Department this week. This
work has been held up for months
due to the inability of the first con
tractor to finish the job.
A Big Month.—The July receipts
of the State Game Commission
amounted to $5,664, establishing a
record for "revenue received for the
state. Of this amount $260 came
from the sale of confiscated weapons,
the rest being from fines imposed
for violation of the game laws, in
addition the state game wardens ar
rested many men for breaking fish
laws, especially having trout or bass
that failed to meet the limits.
Catching of undersized fish seemed
to be the chief offense among Ille
gal fishermen, while some Instances
were found of men' catching bass out
of season. There were 350 gpme
law prosecutions alone and hundreds
of firearms were confiscated In homes
of foreigners, some of whom were
forced to give up dynamite which
they were suspected of throwing
Into streams. Owing to the war tho
police work of the state game ward
ens has been very important and in
conjunction with the Federal 'ood
administrators and state police they
have rounded up several bad gangs
as well as aiding in checking some
tish law infractions which undid the
work of years of planting of young

HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH
110 TH GIVING A
GOOD ACCOUNT OF
ITSELF AT FRONT
Every Effort Being Made to
Rush Through Battle's
Casualty Lists
Washington, Aug. B.—War De
partment officials yesterday discred
ited as a "German lie to bolster home
morale" the statement contained In
an official Berlin dispatch that the
First and Second battalions of the
110 th Infantry Regiment of the
Pennsylvania National Guard Divi
sion virtually had been annihilated
in the recent fighting.
The German dispatch quoted a
prisoner of the First Battalion, which
Is part of what formerly was the
Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, as
saying all except thirty men of his
battalion and all except fifty of the
Second Battalion had been put out of
action.
The casualty reports from General
Pershing have been slow, but Sec
retary of War Baker made public
yesterday a message from the Amer
ican commander explaining the
causes of this delay.
"But if anything like the losses
claimed by the Germans had taken
place in the Pennsylvania outfit we
would have heard about It," said a
high officer in the War Department.
Old Tenth Still on the Job
The dispatch of Raymond Carroll,
correspondent with the American
expeditionary forces, printed yester
day, was cited as proof of the fact
that, far from being wiped out, the
old Tenth Regiment still was very
much in the fighting as late as Tues
day and was, in fact, wiping out the
Germans.
Mr. Carroll's dispatch cited Major
Joseph H. Thompson, of Beaver
Falls, who is in command of the
First Battalion of the 110 th Regi
ment, and Thomas Anderson,
of Latrobe, who leads the Third Bat
talion In that organization.
The 110 th is composed of the old
Tenth and part of the Third Penn
sylvania regiments.
Discussion of the Berlin statement
drew from army officers of the reg
ular establishment unstinted praise
of the Pennsylvanians. They dwelt
on the fact the Twenty-eighth Divi
sion was sent overseas a compara
tively short time ago and was sent
into the hardest kind of fighting aft
er a minimum of training in France.
This record has not been approached,
they said, by any other National
Guard divisldn and scarcely by any
unit of the regular army. The man
ner in which the men have acquitted
themselves has demonstrated that
General Pershing made no mistake
in his decision.
Secretary Baker has been especial-1
ly anxious to obtain a full report of
casualties as soon as practicable, and
he made the following statement yes
terday, to show the difficulty in ob
taining such lists promptly under
conditions:
"I have received a cable message
from General Pershing with regard
to reports of casualties. He points out
that our troops ar estill widely sepa
rated, serving in many places and
that our wounded are taken to
French and British hospitals as well
ag our own, causing great difficulty
and complication in obtaining accu
rate information.
"In addition to this, the troops are
separated from their records while in
the area of conflict and must depend
upon inadequate and temporary tele
graph lines, which are subject to fre
quent Interruption and must, for the
most part, be devoted entirely to the
urgent business of the battle itself.
"General Pershing assures me that
he is making every effort to collect
casualty lists, have them confirmed
and verified, and that they will be
transmitted promptly."
250,000 Christian Greeks
Deported by Turks in Asia
New York, Aug. 3.—More than
2 50,000 Christian Greeks have been
deported by the Turks from their
homes in the flourishing regions of
Turkey bordering on the coast, 1
notably from Samson, Aivali, Trebl
zond and Smyrna, according to a re
port from the Greek office of the
relief committee for Greeks of Asia
Minor, given out here yesterday.
"These Christian Greeks," says the
committee, "who have been among
the most peaceful and prosperous
of the peoples of Asiatic Turkey, look
fo America as their only hope."
AH Men Fit For Service
Will Be Sent Overseas
Washington, Aug. 3.—Under an
order of the chief of ordnance an
nounced yesterday, service in the en
listed personnel of the ordnance de
partment, except at arsenals and
proving grounds, will be restricted
hereafter to men physically disquali
fied for general military service.
All men now serving In the ord
nancee dpartment at Washington
and at ordnance depots and con
tract plants in the United States who
are physically qualified for general
military service will be sent overseas
for duty.
Uses Motor Car For
Railroad Inspection
From all quarters of the country
come reports of new uses to which
motor cars are being put In various
lines of commerce and industry. All
are interesting as revealing fresh
fields in which the motor car creates
a higher degree of efficiency of sav
ing time or labor, or both.
Word of one of the latest develop
ments comes from Savannah, Ga.,
where a railroad superintendent has
abandoned the regulation division In
spection equipment of locomotive
and coach In favor of a motor car.
W. H. Wright, superintendent of the
Savannah division of the Central
Railroad of Georgia, has an auto
mobile fitted with steel-flanged rail
road car wheels, and is free to tra
verse his dlvlslqn tndependently of
steam power.
This unique inspection car is a
regulation Dodge Brothers motor
car, especially equipped in the rail
road shops. In addition to the rail
road> wheels, it has been supplied
with the various accessories neces
sary to a railroad man's work. Its
test runs have proved so satisfactory
that other divisions may be furnished
with similar cars.
When the motor car is in use. It Is
given a schedule Bf running time and
a number. Just as though It were a
regular or a special train passing
over the line. It not only affords a
more enjoyable and comfortable
means of traveel for th superinten
dent and his party, but it affords a
better view of track and road bed,
and is under direct control of the
superintendent as to speed. It also
eliminates the necessity of divert
ing for inspection tours, railroad
equipment which can put to other
uses.
INCREASED TAXES
TO BOOST SMOKES
TO DOUBLE PRICES
Ways and Means Committee
Agrees on Huge Increase
in Revenue Bill
Washington, Aug:. 3.—The Ways
and Means Committee yesterday de
cided to Increase the tax on leaf
tobacco from 13 cents to 30 cents a
pound, a tax which is of great inter
est to Pennsylvania, where a large
amount of tobacco for medium-priced
cigars is raised. Increases In the
taxes on cigars and clgaretes were
also authorized. The government re
ceives about $168,000,000 from these
taxes while the increase agreed upon
is expected to yield $340,000,000.
By the decision, doubling the taxes
cn clgaretes and cigars, the Ameri
can smoker will pay twice as much
for his smokes next year as at pres
ent. The five and six-cent smokes
will disappear.
Increases in the taxes on cigars,
clgaretes and tobacco tentatively
agreed to by the Ways and Means
Committee to-day, compared with the
present law, are as follows:
Cigars weighing not more than
three pounds per thousand, raised
from $1 to $2 per thousand.
Cigars weighing more than three
pounds per thousand, retailing at not
more than 4 cents each, raised from
$3 to $5 per thousand.
Cigars retailing at more than 4
and not over 7 cents each, raised from
$4 to $lO per thousand. .
Cigars retailing at more than 7
cents and not over 15 cents each,
raised from $6 to sls per thousand.
Cigars retailing at more than 15
oents each and not over 20 cents
each, raised from $8 to S2O per thou
sand.
Cigars retailing at more than 20
cents each, raised from $lO to S3O
per thousand.
Clgaretes weighing npt more than
three pounds per thousand retailing
at less than two cents each raised
from $2.05 to $5.00 per thousand.
Cigaretes retailing at two cents or
over, raised from $2.05 to SB.OO per
thousand.
weighing more than
three pounds per thousand, raised
from $4.80 to SIO.OO per thousand.
Tobacco raised from thirteen centi
to thirty cents per pound.
Cigaret papers and tubes double*
as follows: papers in package
of more than twenty-five and not
over fifty papers, raised from half a
cent to one cent per package; pack
ages of more than fifty and not over
100 papers, raised from one cent to
two cents; packages containing 100
papers and over, raised from one cent
on each 100 papers to two cents;
tubes raised from two cents per hun
dred to four cents per hundred.
Treasury experts estimate that
these increases in the tobacco sched
ule will yield $340,000,000 for th&
twelve months period. The estimat
for the twelve month period under
the present rate Is $168,000,000.
Draft Boards Ordered to
Examine Men Closely
State Draft Headquarters to-day
sent to all local draft boards a tele
gram received from Washington urg
ing that greater attention be given
to medical examinations, as recently
reported rejections of Inducted men
are running too high. The rejections
•at some camps have been as high as
34 per cent, and that the unfitness of
some men sent to the cantonments is
obvious. This matter, it is stated,
"demands immediate attention and in
stant correction."
Overland Light Delivery Car
Serving Sweets to Soldiers
Sister Susie who qewed shirts for
soldiers now has a rival in the Over
land light delivery wagon, accord
ing to a candy manufacturer located
in close proximity to one of the large
Army cantonments.
This Overland delivery car Is suc
cessfully serving sweets to Sammies,
in fact so successfully that the manu
facturer bought it on the first dem
onstration trip.
The Taylor-Made Candy Company,]
of Battle Creek, Michigan, found
that soldiers like sweets. , The busi
ness has been Increased to such a
large extent by the demands of the
boys at Camp Custer that they re
quired additional motor equipment
to handle it.
To do this satisfactorily necessitat
ed three to four trips daily.
Feeling sure that the Overland
1200 delivery car would answer their
requirements, the dealer offered to
make a demonstration. On this trip
the car was heavily loaded with can
dles, besides two occupants. In mik
ing the trip to the camp from Battle
Creek, a long steel hill is encounter
ed. This hill has about 20 per cent,
grade which, according to the deal
er, requires a dependable car to
climb it. especially with a load.
The round trip including the load
ing and unloading was made In less
than an hour, the distance being
about ten miles.
The Overland dealer reports that
the manager of the candy company
was so well pleased with the success
of the demonstration that he bought
the car on the spot.

Pottsville Stirs to
New Patriotism in
Grief For War Heroes
PottsvUle, Pa., Aug. 3. —Company
D, One Hundred and Third En
gineers, a command which is an off
spring of one of the two companies
of first defenders which Pottsville
sent out in the Civil War, has re
ceived its baptism of flre in France,
and au a result there has come to
this community during the last
thirty-six hours official notification
that six men of the command have
been killed and thirty-one seriously
wounded.
While the city of Pottsville and
the southern end of Schuylkill coun
ty deeply mourn the loss and wound
ing of so many men, the long casu
alty list has tended to intensify the
patriotism of the people. Flags are
flying evrywhere. The families of
the dead and wounded men re
ceiving expressions of sympathy by
the hundred, and all are showing a
fortitude and a courage truly re
markable.
Company I) Formerly F
Company D, Enginers, formerly
'was Company F, of the old Fourth
Regiment of the National Guard.
From the latter comyiand two com
panies of engineers, C and D, were
formed. Company F is one of the
two companies that went out from
here in the Civil War when Presi
dent Lincoln ls&ued his first call for
troops. The spirit that pervaded the
city then is the spirit that pervades
it now.
While many mothers, wives and
sisters of the men collapsed when
the news first came and had to re
main for hours under the care of
physicians, they resolutely have dried
their tears and the words that are
being passed from lip to lip 4s the
casualty list mounts upwatd are:
nance department at Washington
not the weeping sort."

13,000 STUDENT
FLIERS EAGER TO
FIGHT GERMANS
Impatient to Use Their Train
ing Gained in Aviation
Camps
Washington, Aug. 3.—More than
13,000 young American men are
waiting to put into effective use, In
American planes, the training and
expertneßs they have gained In an
ticipation of helping to "blind the
sun" and win to Berlin.
The senate committee on mili
tary affairs has investigated the avia
tion training camps and found little
to criticise particularly since Gen
eral Kenly became director of mili
tary aeronautics.
The number of deaths on the
training fields was a special subject
of Inquiry. The department records
show that 176 fliers have been killed
in accidents in the training campa
—twenty-three between July 1, 1917,
and January 1, 1918, and flfty-two
between January 1 and July 20, 1918.
The committee was Informed that
this is half the percentage of deaths
In the British training camps.
Only three of these deaths are
credited to defective planes. The
standard "J" training plane has been
abandoned, but not because It was
defective In construction, according
to the war department. The three
men met their deaths in two planes,
one a Curtiss and the other a De
Haviland Four. Under the admli
istratlon of General Kenly, a special
study has made of the causes of
accidents and the percentage of
fatalities has been reduced mort
than half by the institution of radl-1
cal reforms in the management of
the fields and in the processes of i
training.
