FRIDAY EVENING,
cals and newspapers in various sec
tions of the country.
To clean out these nests of "kul
tur" raids were made simultaneously
on Wednesday in various parts of
the country. Todd Daniel, special
agent of the Department of Justice
here, and. his aids confined their ef
forts to Reading and Lancaster. In
the Berks county city Janssen and
Thun are both rich mill owners, and
their homes and establishments were
searched by the authorities, assist
ed by the military and naval intelli
gence bureaus. Other raids were
conducted in New York and Chicago.
Successor to Bernstorff
Charles De Woody, chief of the
office of the Department of Justice
in New Tork. said yesterday that the
records seized in raids upon the
homes and business places of Ru
dolph Pangenstecker, William Kaupe
and Charles Unversagt had revealed
that Pangenstecker, Kaupe. Thun and
Janssen were the direct agents of
German propaganda in this section.
He also intimated that they were
the direct successors to Count von
Bernstorff. Captain von Papen and
Captain Boy-Ed. when those German
emissaries were banished from the
United States.

Raw Meat Ritual
J Mr. Rosenbaum said yesterday the
evidence was indubitable that Thun's
,home. which is a pa!: ' ! place in
I Wyomissing. a suburb i.f Heading,
had been the place where the pro-
Germans gathered to give proper
Hun expression to the killing of
women and the murder of babies.
The Thun home,' on this occasion,
Mr. Rosenbaum further continued,
was a scene of gayety and revelry./
i The guests included all the proml-\
j nent propagandists for the Kaiser in
i this section, and Thun was the host
, because of his prominence in doing
I the Kaiser's work, Mr. Rosenbaum
i further stated.
! While Mr. Rosenbaum said he
i could not reveal in extreme detail
i the manner in which Thun and his
; guests are charged with having
| toasted the submarine commander
and his imperial master, other re
ports say that the guests ate raw*
I meat as a part of their rite. %

FIFTH FLOOR FILLED WITH FINE FURNITURE
HARRESBURG (AK& TELEGRAPH
of Justice yesterday began to in
quire into the mass of letters, pa
pers. documents and other data that
were seized in the various raids en
ginered in this section. The greater
part of these came from the homes
of Thun and Junssen. and while the
contents remained a secret yesterday,
Mr. Daniel and his aids said they
expected to uncover the ramifica
tions of the propaganda carried on
through the press and periodicals
similar to Jeremiah O'Leary's Bull,
which was suppressed and its editor
arrested on the charge of treason.
WnU'lieil Slitfo I*. S. Kutcred War
An interesting revelation by the
federal authorities is that the places
raided and the men suspected had
been under surveillance since this
country entered the war. This es
pionage was placed upon the sus
pects and thei); homes, it was further
stated, because of the avowed pro-
German sympathies that they are ac
cused of showing prior to the day
the United States became a bellig
erent.
A partial examination of the papers
seized, it was stated, seemed to in
dicate that the owners had been
charged with carrying on the Ger
man propaganda after Count von
Bernstorff and his assistants had
been bantshed from this country.
Thun and Janssen, it Is held, were
especially prominent in spreading
propaganda, their especial duties be
ing to handle the money that financed
this sort of work. Huge sums are
said to have been distributed, the
principal benefactors, according to
the authorities, being George Syl
vester Viereck, publisher of the
Fatherland, alias Vlereck's Weekly,
the publishers of The Spirit of the
Age in Chicago and other periodicals
whose intense pro-Germanism wus
rampant before the United States be
came active in the war.
"The home of Prof. Richard C.
Scheldt, in Lancaster." said Mr.
Rosenbaum. "was the agency that
seems to have been most frequently
used In forwarding funds to different
points. In one instance we have
found that Thun sent a sum of
money to Professor Scheldt with in
structions that he buy a bank draft
before sending it to New York in
order that it might not be traced."
WOUNDED IN FRANCE
Hiiinmelstown, Pa.. Aug. 9.—Mrs.
Annie Raush, of Poplar avenue, re
ceived a letter from her son, Her
man Raush. of Company D, 112 th
United States Infantry, stating that
he was in the hospital, suffering from
a wound In the right hip by being
hit with a piece of shell. He says
he is getting along nicely and ex
pects soon to Join his company.
MEN FOR ARMY OR
NAVY MUST COME
FROM DRAFT LIST
Daniels and Baker Stop En
listments Until Man-Power
Bill Is Passed
Washington, Aug. 9.—Enlistments
in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps
were stopped yesterday. The restric
tion will prevail until Congress
passes the new man-power bill en
larging the ages of military service.
That action was taken in view of
the proposal of Senator Wadsworth,
of New York, to extend the selective
service act sa as to end voluntary
enlistments In th# Army, Navy or
M.i rine Corps.
If Congress decides that men for
the three branches of service shall
Ibe called through the draft, volun
tary enlistments in the United States
will become a matter of history tuid
AUGUST 9, 1918.
all men called In the future will
have the same status In service.
Secretary of War Baker was to
appear before the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs this morning to
explain the new man-power bill.
Secretary Baker would not indicate
| his position with respect to applying
the draft act to the Navy.
"The Secretary of the Navy and I
have discussed informally the ques
tion of extending the draft to cover
the men needed for the Navy, but
no conclusion has been reached," ho
said. "I should not be willing to
say anything on this subject except
by conference and concurrence with
him."
Mr. Daniels said as all men of
Navy and Marine Corps enlistment
age would be Included in the new
draft ages, the Navy necessarily
would have to draw on such classes
for Its personnel, under arrange
ments with the War Department, if
the Wadsworth amendment is not
adopted.
In announcing the suspension of
enlistments Mr. Daniels said:
Order Enlistments Stopped
"The large Increase in enlistments
In the Navy and Marine Corps has
made It possible to suspend further
enlistment until pending legislation
affecting the draft for the Army is
disposed of. When It is resumed It
will be in full co-operation with the

One More Day of
Special Prices On Sheets.
Pillow Cases, Bedspreads,

Instant recognition of the remarkable
value-giving made this annual event vie- jgSpSßSzk
i| torious from the start. The first day buy- flw
ers told their friends of the unusual re
ductions, including such staple brands as
Utica and Pequot sheets and pillow cases.
1 He second day, although but a half day, caused many
to come in the morning, and the third day the sale con
tinued as successfully as the first day. Tomorrow, being
the last day and the store open until nine in the evening,
we expect many to avail themselves of these sensational
values. We say sensational because many of these ma
terials cannot be duplicated today at wholesale prices at
the price we offer them to you, and some of the items
will be difficult to get at any price, due to manufacturing
facilities being used for other purposes.
So buy what you need at the substantial saving we
