Because of the fact that the Am ericans were brigaded In tho fight ing with British and French forces, many of the wounded were taken to FYench and British hospitals and the task of collecting their names was a difficult one. Tho problem of securing the names of tho killed and missing was said to bo much simpler and this Is taken here to account for the relatively large numbers of killed and missing re ported in tho first list.

WERNER James W. Fesler, who is named in this morning's casualty lists as being "wounded to a degree undetermin ed." killed two Huns before he let them "get him." In a letter to his mother, Mrs. James W. Fesler. 621 Kelker street, he tells her he "got" two Huns and ex-pects to "get" more of them before be is finished. Young Fesler enlisted April 17, 1917, at the local recruiting station. He was sent to Fort Slocum, thence to San Antonio, Texas, and later to Syracuse. He sailed September 7. If he had remained in Harrisburg, his name would be on the list of mem bers of next year's graduating class at Technical High school. He is now in Company L of the Ninth Infantry. Fesler comes of a fighting family, and his father is proud of the fact. His great-great-great-grandfather was Colonel Umberger in the Revo lutionary War, his great-uncle help ed to storm the Confederates at Get tysburg. and his grandfather was also in the Civil War. His parents were proud to hear that their son is on the battlefront, taking his place In the fight for democracy. When a Telegraph representative brought them the news of his injury, they had not heard from the War De partment. • Daniel H. Werner. 17 North Sev enteenth street, who was recently BURGLARS CRACK 5 SAFES, MAKING $25,000 HAUL Bold Sunday Robbery in Phil adelphia in Shadow of Citv Hall Philadelphia, Aug. 12.—Within seventy-five yards of City Hall, where policemen are most numerous, yegg men early yesterday morning looted five safes and escaped with $25,000 in money and other valuables. These shops suffered losses: Dalsimer Clothing Company, sec ond floor, 1303 Market street. Marcus & Company, stationers, first floor, 1303 Market street. Philip Berger, ladies' tailor, sec ond floor, 1305 Market street. Reiszner shoe store, first floor, 1305 Market street. Guilord's Men's Furnishings Com pany, first floor, 1305 Market street. Entrance was gained by breaking skylights and doors. No explosives were used on the safes. In each in stance a drill opened the corner of the safe before a "can opener." was used to separate the metal from the inside plaster the bolts then being clipped. The robberies were discovered by the police on the beat. Soon after ward a squad of detectives, police men and fingerprint experts arrived. After four hours' deliberation they confessed they were "stumped." While the detectives were reticent about talking, one of the victims vig orously denounced the police for their "inefficiency." He said that a short time ago delegations of busi nessmen .alarmed by the numerous safe cracking right in the shadow of the City Hall, visited Superintendent of Police Robinson and told him that, inasmuch as the police were! unable to handle the situation, they were going to employ private watch men. He further said that the superin tendent laughed at the idea, telling them that it was needless waste of money, as there were six men on duty at Thirteen and Market streets at all times and that their fears were groundless. Two years ago a similar attempt to enter the Dalsimer store was foiled by a policeman, who shot and wounded one of the men. Plan Poultry Exhibit Beginning August 20 A poultry demonstration to last two days ha£ been arranged by H. G. Xiesley, county farm agent, for August 20 and 21. H. C. Knandel, poultry extension expert of State College, will be on hand to demon strate to the farmers the methods to cut out the non-laying hens of the poultry yards. It is pointed out that on some farms more than half of the hens are non-laying. Mr. Knandel will show the farmers how to eliminate the "slackers" from the "patriotis." STOLE FROM GARDENS, CHARGE James Reigan was given a hearing in police court to-day on the charge of stealing produce from the war garden of H. W. Eyster, located at Fifteenth and Verbeke streets.

FESLER cited for bravery on the battlefront. has been wounded, he writes in a let ter to friends in Harrisburg. Werner in his letter asks that his relatives should not be alarmed if his name appears in the casualty list. He says he has been gassed and is in a Paris hospital, but that he will be fighting again in the near future if everything goes well. Several weeks ago, In dispatches from a special correspondent with the American Army under General Foch, the name of Werner was cited for conspicuous bravery and special services. With the news of his be ing in the thick of the fighting it was learned that the Keystone Di vision, in which are many Harrisburg boys, is pushing forward in the midst of the present offensive in the Rheims-Soissons salient. Little is known about the nature and extent of young Werner's in juries, but he says his head and back have been injured. The letter says that'he was fighting in hand-to hand combat with the Huns. He is optimistic concerning the outcome of the war. Werner is in Company I, of the One Hundred and Twelfth Regiment. This was formerly the old Eighth. PANTING CROWDS STORM STATIONS FOR SUNDAY ICE Unusual Heat Wave Melts All of Harrisburg's Supply; Relief Comes by Rail "Ice! Ice! My kingdom for a piece of ice!" This was the classic thought yes terday of many thousands of suffer ing citizens, only they put it into rather more caustic languaage. Almost from the peep of dawn a universal wail of "no ice in the box" set going the most astonishing cru sade ever witnessed here on Sunday. Men. women and the very smallest of children charged upon the ice sta tions, particularly upon the United Ice & Coal headquarters at Fifteenth and Chestnut streets. As many as a thousand were gathered there at one time, clamoring for the ice, ice in Ave . pounds, ten pounds, twenty pounds and any way, so it was cold ice. At moments, the crowd surged so dangerously that there was fear of a panic. Inside the selling booth a company official, lone-handed, took care of the thirsty throng, and the money came in so fast that he used big wicker baskets, casting the filthy lucre into this one and that, ac cording to denomination. From investigation to-day it ap pears that the sudden and unexpected shortage started on Saturday. "At 2 o'clock, Saturday" said one ice deal er "I bet there was not five cents worth of ice in all the storage ware houses of Harrisburg." Summer Supply Gone This was the case with the United, which usually has 3,000 tons stored in the city. This is supposed to last until September I, but this season, the uncommon heat melted down that ice tower until it was all gone by August. The Jitney stations were cleaned out by 9 a. m. yesterday, and everybody rushed to the big plant. Here, fortunately several freight cars full of ice arrived from Bear Creek in the Lehigh Valley and saved many a suffering mortal from further agony. Ice dealers explain that shortage of labor and shortage of cars have interefered with the usual supply; however, it is not expected that there will be such another panic this year. There was a shortage in Steelton also. Boy, Shot by Brother, in Serious Condition Ray W. Troup, 12 years old, 1188 Christian street, is in a serious con dition as a result of the wound he received in the temple when he was shot with a ,32-caliber rifle by his younger brother. The boys were playing at the summer home of their parents along the Susquehanna river near Marysville. It is said Ray walked in front of the target at which his younger brother was shooting and received the shot. FRACTURES SKULL, Theodore Fuhrman, aged 15, of Clarks Valley, who was injured when he was thrown from his ma torcycle on the state road near Dau phin about 8 o'clock last evening, is in a serious condition in the Har risburg Hospital.

For the first three days of the week the- will present "The Bet," a screamingly funny offering, in which Hodges plays a feminine role. The latter part of the week the bill will be changed. The same company will then present "Broadway Jimmy." Hodges made a ■wonderful impression with Harrisburg theatergoers last winter, when, at the head of his own big company, he presented for the first time here "Pretty Baby." It is a company of equal proportion that accompanies Hodges this time. A bevy of pretty maidens, extravagantly costumed and well trained, form a background in front of which a half dozen or more principals keep the fun moving all the time the play is on. In spite of the fact that this is the most expen sive week's booking that the Majes tic has ever known. Majestic prices will remain unchanged. In one of tbe latest Paramount pictures, "Mile-a-Minute Kendall," showing to-day and Jack Plckford In to-morrow at the "Mile-n-Mluute Regent Theater. Kendall" the famous screen star. Jack Pick ford, plays the roll of a rich man's son. Becoming infatuated with a wo nian, whose reputation does not stand investigation, he is disinherited by the elder Kendall, and during a seri ous illness, is nursed back to health again by a sweetheart of childhood days. He realizes that his life was nearly wrecked in his previous riotous living: turns over a new leaf; marries his old sweetheart: invents a motor that brings him a fortune; wins back the good graces of his parent and be comes a man of prominence in the world of affairs. There is abundance of comedy, several highly dramatic scenes and altogether a picture of signal merit. What would you think of a husband who actually placed a mortgage on his own Dorothy Phillip* in wife? Hard "The Mortgaged Wife" to believe? Well, that is just what Gloria Harris had to face when her husband mortgaged her for $50,000, shortly after their marriage. What would you do, if confronted with such conditions? The story presents complex prob lems that seem almost impossible of solution, but Glori- Harris works out her own salvation and in a most sat isfactory and satisfying manner. The way in which she conducts herself under the trying circumstances in which she is placed, forms the basis for an absorbing motion picture. "The Mortgaged Wife," which will be shown at the Victoria Theater to-dav and to-morrow. The vaudeville bill at the Paxtang Park Theater for this week will have as a feature at- Strong Attractions traction Luba at Paxtang Park Meroff and Company. i n what is known as vaudeville's dainti est offering.

El Cato. the king of the xylophone players, will also be at Paxtang this week ready to plav any piece of music that his auditor's may ask of him on the xylophone.

Monday and Tuesday the attraction booked at the Colonial is "The Girl in His House." Some men are At the hard hit when the girl they Colonial love turns them down, and some take it philosophically and start right out to look for another mate. James Armitage was the for mer kind, and so when his best girl jilted him, he turned over his estate to his lawyer and sailed for Bermuda, where for six long years he buried himself, when a newspaper told him she was a widow. And then he came back. But did he return to her? That would be telling. But he certainly was a surprised man when he found his home occupied by a beautiful young girl. Earl Williams and Grace Darmond are the man and girl. Wed nesday and Thursday Norma Tal madge, the favorite of all, will be seen in "The Social Secretary." PEACEMAKER STABBED David Wells, aged 25, 1219 North Seventh street, was stabbed in the neck yesterday afternoon. According to Wells, two men were fighting in front of the restaurant at which he was tending counter and he went out to stop them. One of them pulled a knife on him and stabbed him.

RAILROAD RUMBLES TRAINMEN STAND FOR PROHIBITION Pass Resolutions Urging Con gress to Pass War-Time Measure Members of Keystone Lodge No. 42, Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, went on record yesterday as favoring prohibition. At the semi monthly meeting held in Trainmen's hall in the aflernoon resolutions were adopted culling upon Congress to pass the war-time prohibition bill now before Congress. Exceptions were taken to the policy advocated by Samuel Gompers, the trainmen claiming that he did not represent them in his recent statement. The resolution follow: Whereas, The government has en acted prohibition for our Army and Navy because it found it necessary for the production of the most effici ent fighting machine; and Whereas, It is admitted by all well-informed persons that the use of alcoholic beverages produces the same results under all conditions, lessening efficiency among workmen and creating trouble, because hu man nature is the same everywhere and human requirements vary only as surroundings differ: and . Whereas, The attitude of Labor to ward the liquor traffic has been mis represented by Mr. Gompers and Mr. Hurley and Mr. Colby in their so called testimony before the United States Senate's Agricultural Commit tee. it being the uniform testimony of labor organizations in those states that have enacted prohibition that labor conditions and labor efficiency have greatly improved; and Whereas, There is now before the United States Senate a bill providing for national prohibition during the war: therefore Resolved, That while we. Lodge No. 42, Brotherhod of Railroad Traimen, recognize the efficient serv ice that has been rendered by Pres ident Gompers along labor lines, yet we feel compelled emphatically to dissent from his mistaken testimony before said committee, and to say that while he may have represented the comparatively small number of brewery employes connected with the P'ederation of Labor, yet his tes timony did not represent the vast army of railroad and industrial em ployes. Resolved, That while we are glad to render service to our government to the best of our ability in our reg ular employment and to join the great army of our fellow citizens that are conserving at much sacri fice along numerous lines to secure victory over the Huns, yet we most earnestly protest against the policy of government that fosters the most potent enemy of the Hun in our land, the liquor traffic: that gives it abundance of grain and coal and sugar, while our children suffer for lack of them all. Resolved, That we most earnestly petition the United States Congress without further delay to enact war prohibition as necessary to the most speedy triumph of our arms, and we call upon our own United States Sen ators to give their efforts and votes to this end. Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be forwarded to the Presi dent of the United States, to the United States Senate through both Senator Knox and Senator Penrose, and to the United States House of Representatives through our Con gressman, the Honorable Aaron S. Kreider. Worshipers Are Stranded When Carmen Call Strike Chambersburg, Aug. 12.—The con ductors and motormen of the Cham bersburg.

Train to Run Through From Harrisburg to Lebanon In effect at midnight yesterday, all trains to and from Lebanon over the Pennsy will run in and out of Har risburg. This was planned some time ago, but it remained for the regional director of this district, C. H. Mark ham. to put it in effect. The order was Issued two weeks ago and men have since been under instructions. From Conewago to Lebanon the line was formerly known as the Lebanon and Cornwall Railroad. Re cently the Pennsy took possession and it was made the Lebanon di vision. Crews, however, have been changed at Conewago. Passengers | also have changed cars at this point. Now it is said all business will be handled through to and from Leb anon, making Conewago a stopping j point. The yards at Conewago will | also be operated as a part of the Philadelphia division. Railroad Notes W. H. Newman, formerly presi dent of the New York Central Rail road, died Saturday in New York. Federal Railroad officials are still working on a new schedule. Engines, not cars, are most need ed at the present time to facilitate railway freight movements. Such is the opinion of the officials of the railroad administration in Washing ton. The congested conditions of last winter were produced because ! there were not enough locomotives I to haul the loaded cars. The increase in expert machin- j lsts' wages to 69 cents per hour has ! made it far more easy to supply the j needs at the locomotive shops of the j Reading Railway. There has been ] an increase in applications since the j raise, according to the officials. A gain of 1,481 in the number of women employed on the eastern lines ] of the Pennsylvania Railroad was made during June. At the end of June 8,354 women were at work. In addition more than 1,000 are em- | ployed in the general offices at Phil adelphia and Pittsburgh. Before the war there were few women in the service of the company. MEXICAN WORKMEN WILL GET RAILROAD JOBS Hnzlcton. Aug. 12.—Notices re ceived here yesterday stated that the government has let down the bars against immigration of Mexicans for railroad and mining jobs. The meas ure is merely for temporary relief, but the men can be brought to help out in the anthracite region, where the labor situation has hampered coal production and transportation considerably. Heretofore they could not be used in any collieries except those in the middle west, which mine lignite, a | hemi-bituminous grade.

The British have captured the western edge of the town of Ba-ay, on the Somme, the advices state. Apparently the attack on the southern part of the front was being continued by the French thia morn | ing. Main interest centered in the sector around the Lassigny Massif. The French must be close to the crest of it. The whole position on the southern line depends upon its possession. In the region between the Roye road and the Somme the position has been stabilized. The Germans have massed heavy artillery on this front and are heavily counterattacking. The towns of Albert and Chaulnes seem to-day to be held by theenemy and Roye has not fallen.
