It Is not to be assumed that the

Because of the fact that the Am

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

TWO HARRISBURG BOYS
ARE WOUNDED IN FIGHT
Daniel H. Werner, Unofficially Cited For Bravery, and
Janjes W. Fesler, Who Got Two Huns, in Hospitals
DANIEL H. 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

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

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

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. A

ties are making an effort to break up
the practice.

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

was learned that the Keystone Di

boys, is pushing forward in the
midst of the present offensive in the
Rheims-Soissons salient.
Little is known about the nature

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.

At the at the Majestic Theater to-
Mujentlc day. 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.

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. The act is in reality a
superbly-mounted European dancing
act that has proved a great surprise
as well as a most original noveltv in
this country. Miss Meroff was, until
lately, a member of the Imperial Rus
sian Ballet, and is an artist with an
international reputation. Another
Harrisburg favorite. 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.
Other acts on the coming week's bill
at the pary will be Hector, the mind
reading dog, a canine marvel that is
sure to interest you. The Three Eddvs,
in a laughable comedy acrobatic stunt
and Onetta, the dervish whirlwind, a
novelty from the Orient.
For Thursday evening the park
management announces a grand free
fireworks display, with a new line of
up-to-date pyrotechnical novelties.
This exhibition will be under the di
rection of the same firm of pyrotech
nical expert# that have produced all
the previous displays at Paxtang, and
a grand array of bombs, rockets and
setpieces may be looked for.
For the week of August 19 King
Kelly, the world champion parachute
jumper, will be at Paxtang with his
new war balloon.
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."

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.

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.

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.

French Troops Continue
Envelopment of Roye;
British Capture Bray
London, Aug. 12.—The French are
continuing their advance between
the Avre and the Oise and have cap
tured the town of l'Echelle-St. Aurln, Jk
three miles directly west of Roye.
The line now runs from l'Echelle-
St. Aurin, southeast through Arman
eourt and Tilloloy, three miles south
west of Roye, and continues in a
southeasterly direction throughGury,:
eloven miles southeast of Montdi-,
dier. It then curves east through the.
MOntigny quarry to the hill north of
Antoval, northwest of Ribecourt, on
the Oise.
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.
