Price Advance
For over a year now we
have succeeded in main
taining our old prices,
principally by virtue of a
big increase in sales,
which reduced our over
head cost.
For our fiscal year end
ing July 1, 1918, our sales
amounted to over a mil
lion dollars—an increase
of 58% over the preced
ing year.
We had hoped to bridge
the war period without a
change in prices on
Vick's Vapoßub
but we find that our econ
omies do not keep pace
with our rising costs. It is
with sincere regiet, there

announce an increase, ef

The attacking submarine probab-
I ly was the one that sank the Amer

, in showing berself above water with

The Navy received only mea

was issued. The Diamond Shoal ship

The attack upon the light ship may
represent a new phase of engmy sub

viding the bill could be reported at

About July 30, General March
said, the United States reached a de
cision to enlarge its military pro
gram to carry out the policies agreed
upon at the recent interallied con
ference at Paris to speed up prose
cution of the war and brihg it to an
early conclusion.
General March said the shipment
of men overseas would be continued
according to the program now in ef
fect for the present.
Questioned by senators regarding
the apparent'"change of front" of
the War Department in its war pro
gram, March told of the
government's ("cision in accord with
the Paris conference.
For the new program Secretary
Baker and other officials concluded
that there must be an extension of
the draft ages.
While about three million now
are under arms, army officials think
there should be approximately five
million men at home and in France.
In order not to disturb the present
draft system and to avoid calling
men who had been given exemption,
extension of the draft ages is neces
sary.
From General March's testimony
and other information received the
committee has gained the impression
that while all men between the ages
of 18 and 45 would be subject to
military duty under the new law it
is proposed that those between 18
and 20 years of age shall be kept
in this country until the last.
Upon the suggestion of Senator
Wadsworth that the draft system
be extended to the Navy, Senator
Chamberlain announced that either
Secretary Daniels or Admiral Ben
son would Jt>e asked to appear to
morrow before the committee to dis
cuss the advisability of the subject.

Y. M. C. A. to Direct Boys'
Camp on City Island
A. H. Dtnamor®, secretary of boyS"
work, and C. W. Miller, physical di
rector at the Central Y. M. C. A_ will
be in charge of the boys' playground
camp at McCormick's Island, park de
partment officials announced to-day.
The camp for the boys opens to-mor
row morning as soon as the girls now
camping there, leave.
Unable to secure a suitable direc
tor to take charge of the camp, the
city authorities appealed to Robert B.
Reeves, secretary of the Y. M_ O, A-,
and an arrangement was made at
once to have Mr. Dlnsmore and Mr.
Miller, both known to hundreds of
boys In the city, to take charge with
out any coat to the park department.
The action received the approval of
the board of directors of the Central
Y. "M. C. A. at their luncheon in the
Harrisburg Club yesterday. Both
Mr. Dlnsmore and Mr. Miller were
given full liberty by the board, to
proceed with the care of the camp
under J. K. Staples, supervisor of
the city playgrounds. The Y. M. C. A.
board left details to be arranged be
tween Mr. Dlnsmore and representa
tives of the park department.
When approached by a reporter, Mr.
Dlnsmore. in commenting on the
plan, said there is little to be given
out from his ofilce. "It has all come
about very suddenly. It will neces
sarily mean some changes In our an
nounced program for ii camp for
older boys. This camp was to open
within a very few days. No announce
ment can be made as to what will be
come of these plans. We will first
have to go over the entire situation
with the park department officials, as
we are going to put our plans Into
the background wherever It conflicts
with their arrangements. Mr. Miller
and I are glad to be able to sacrifice
our own plans in order to co-operate
in this larger city-wide work. Any
thing further should come from Mr.
Staples or some other park depart
ment official."
