18 MORE GIRLS NEEDED TO FILL CITY'S QUOTA Hospital Nurses' Drive Falls Short of Mark Set by Nation If Harrisburg's drive for student nurses is to be a success, eighteen nurses must register before Saturday evening. This is the present situa tion in the nursing drive as explained this morning by officials in charge of the campaign. The campaign was launched several weeks ago and is • to secure enlistments for the United States Students Nurse Reserve. The object of securing the nurses is to release graduate nurses for service overseas. Harrisburg's quota for the drive is 40 student nurses. Up to noon to-day there were twenty-two applications for enlistment received at the local recruiting station at the Harrisburg Hospital. Miss Frances M. Scott, chair man. A single new application was announced, being the application of Martha Creswell, 211 Harris street. .\ntlon-\Vldr Drive The local campaign is in co-opera tion with a nation-wide drive for 25,000 student nurses. The drive is under the auspices of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. According to "Red Cross Clippings," the official bulletin of the Pennsy 1 vania-Delaware division of the American Red Cross, the plea for students is meeting with great suc cess in other cities throughout the entire country. Many Pennsylvania cities have already passed their quota and Red Cross officials have expressed their desire that Harris burg may pass its quota, too, in order to uphold the eneviable reoord of be ing an "over the top" city in other drives. "The requirements for enrollment are very free," reads a recent staate ment .of the National Council. "Ap plicants can be between 19 and 35 years of age. Their education may vary from sub-high school to college graduation They must hold themselves in readiness until April 1. 1919 for their assignment to training school, unless they have, in the meantime, entered other government war ser vice. They have been asked to en roll without restriction as to school, which may be either a civilian hos pital or the Army Training School. "If Boys Must Fall, Let Faces Be Toward Front" Washington, Aug. 15. ln support of the assertion that America is united in the war. Clarence Ousley assistant secretary of agriculture, tells of an I experience in a recent trip through Texas. He was asked to speak at a campmeeting on the agricultural pro gram. "When I reached the meeting the congregation had just risen for prayer," he said. "The minister pray ed with great fervor and the air was electric with spiritual rapture. He praved for the soldiers and added. 'But, O Lord, if they must fall, let them fall with their faces to the front.' There was a sob and a chorus of 'Amen.' "When mothers and fathers in re mote districts, away from the sound of the fife and drum and the sight of warships, airplanes and marching pa rades. can say amen to the courage- I ous death of their sons, we need have no fear that the plain people of the I United States will fail in the resolu- j tion to sustain." Toll of Shipping Reduced in July to 270,000 Tons Paris, Aug. 15. The allied and neutral shipping sunk by German submarines during July amounted to 270,000 compared with 534,839 tons sunk in July, 1917. This radical de crease in. losses is doubly significant when the increase in merchant ma rine navigation resulting from the I American shipbuilding effort is con- j sidered. The Entente nations constructed j during July a tonnage in excess of 280,000 over that destroyed during the month by enemy operations. The Entente tonnage sunk in 1918 was 50 per cent, less than that lost in 1917. "Gas Attack" Off Carolina Coast Is Unconfirmed By Associated Press Washington, Aug. 15. —Although , final reports of the investigation into I the "gas attack" on Smith's Island, North Carolina, last Saturday, have not yet reached the Navy Depart ment, there were strong intimations to-day that the "gas" was not from i a German submarine as first re ported. No explanation of the inci dent, however, has been offered and ••"one probably will be until com plete information is at hand.

Griffffey and Glass, both carpenters for the Harrisburg Burial Case Com pany, were working in the lumber yard at the rear of the building when the rain began, and to escape the de luge, they took shelter under a lum ber pile. A few minutes later the lumber pile was struck by lightning. Griffey was killed instantly. Glass was badly stunned, but revived suffi ciently to walk to his home. Griffey is survived by a wife, two : sons, Amos and Francis, and a daugh ter Esther. His son has been called for service in the army.

Both men were employed as brakemen on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad. Both men were killed almost instantly. The Harris burg ambulance was rushed to the scene but the doctor at once pro nounced the men dead. Huns Force Russians Into Ranks of Army By Associated Press London, Aug. 15.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Vladivostok, dated Sunday, says the Germans al ready are conscripting Russians on a small scale. "According to stories of prisoners taken by the Czecho-Slovaks," says the dispatch, "German flying col umns are impressing males from 18 to 45 years of age and are bringing those who disobey the mobilization order before Germanized revolution ary tribunals, which condemn them to death. "These conscripted units have Ger man company and platoon com manders and are stiffened by twenty Germans or magyars to every sixty Russians." Two Harrisburg Printers Chosen on Committees Frank Sohmer and Oliver Osier, Harrisburg delegates to the sixty fourth annual convention of the In ternational Typographical Union, now in session at Scranton, were elected to important committees. Sohmer was chosen chairman of the label commit tee and Osier will serve on the Fed eration delegates committee. SOVIET TROOPS BEGIN LEAVING RUSS CAPITAL Loss of City Serious Blow to Cause of Bolsheviki; Re public In Danger Amsterdam, Aug. 15. (British Wireless Press). —Soviet troops have begun to evacuate Moscow. The gold reserves which had been in the base ment of the Kremlin already have been removed to an unknown place. Dispatches received in London on Monday reporting that Premier Len ine and War Minister Trotzky had fled to the naval base at Kronsvadt, added that all the government de partments would be removed there. The flight of Lenine and Trotzky was said to be due to threats by the So cial Revolutionists of the Left that they were about to begin a reign of terror there. Whether the Soviet troops were forced to depart from Moscow is not clear, but the loss of the city to the Soviet government un doubtedly will be a serious blow to their cause. Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia, was made the Soviet capital in March. The Lenine government fled there from -Petrograd toward which the German troops were marching. It has been reported with in the past few days that the Ger mans had renewed their march to-ward Petrograd. Czecho-Slovak troops have been reported in force along the Volga, about 500 miles east of Moscow. London, Aug. 15. —The Soviet gov ernment has issued a proclamation declaring the Russian republic is in danger, according to telegrams from Helsingfors received in Stockholm and quoted by the correspondent of the Times there. The Petrograd Soviet has removed to Kronstadt owing to the insecurity of the city. Bands of armed peasants are reported marching on Petrograd from surrounding districts. de clare they are starving and that the Red Guards have stolen all their food. Dissatisfaction with the Soviets is said to prevail everywhere in Rus sia. Reuter's Limited learns that Brit ish troops on their way to join the Czecho-Slovak troops on the Ussuri front, were received by the Czechs with the greatest enthusiasm at Nicolak and elsewhere. The Ussuri river joins the Amur near Khabarovsk, north of Vladivo stok. The Czechs have been engaged with the Bolsheviki in this region for several weeks. I Washington, Aug. 15. —Official dis patches from American Consul Gen eral Poole, In Moscow, lifted the cur ! tifln for-a moment on what has been i going on in Moscow and revealed an amazing train of events. Consul General Poole, after wit nessing the violation of the French and British consulates and the ar rests of the consuls general and their staffs, destroyed his code book and papers and turned the affairs of the American consulate over to the Swe dish consul, at the same time de manding safe conduct from the coun try for himself and his associates. French and British citizens have been arrested and the Bolshevik have announced they would hold them as hostages because of the attack on the Soviet government by British and French troops at Archangel. Members of the French and Br't ish military missions stationed in I Moscow were refused permission to j leave the country in spite of a previ i ous promise of safe conduct, j It is possible that since the send- I ing of Consul General Poole's tele- I grams, which began on July 29 and | continued until August 6, the situa i tion may have changed, because it is | reported that Lenine and Trotzky, the Bolshevik leaders, have fled and the Soviet government in Miscow may have been overthrown. In that event, Mr. Poole and the entente missions may find themselves in a better situation. The story is told in sequence in the State Department's official an nouncement of its devices from Mr. Poole. It follows: "The Department of State has now received several telegrams from Consul General Poole, at Moscow, concerning recent events in that city. Following is a summary of them: " 'One of the telegrams, similar in character to a previous message re ceived through other channels, states that on July 29 Lenine declared re peatedly before an official gathering of the Soviets that a state of war existed between the Russian republic and the allied powers. Because of this the diplomatic representatives in Moscow of Great Britain and the consular representatives of France, Italy and the United States visited the commissariat for foreign affairs and inquired if Lenine's declaration should not be considered a declara tion of war, involving the rupture of de facto relations and the depart ure of the consul. Tchitcherin said that it need not be so understood, that it was a state of defense rather than a state of war. and that the government desired to continue its relations with the entente as it did with Germany, under analogous cir cumstances. "The consuls demanded that to be acceptable the explanation must be publicly made by the head of the government himself. They also pointed out that the question was inseparable from that of the depar i.ire of the members of the former military mission. After having agreed to facilitate the departure of these persons, in accordance with in ternational law, the government, they said, had raised absolutely inadmis-; sable objections. The foreign repre-, sentatives alsc stated that they could, pot see in this attitude anything butj confirmation of Lenine's declaration | of the existence of a state or give, a reply within three days. "On the night of August 2 a reply j was received from Tchitcherin. lt| stated that inasmuch as Lenine's lit-1 terances were made behind closed j doors, public explanation could noti be given about nonpublic utterances, j As to the members of the military j missions Tchitcherin said that nego-, tiations had been begun with the! German authorities to procure safe; passage from Petrograd to Stock holm for theie officers, passage through Archangel being impossible because British cruisers had already begun the bombardment of the is lands covering Archangel. "A third report from Consul Gen eral Poole refers to the arrests of British and French citizens at Mos cow." SOLDIER ARRESTED FOR BUYING BOTTLED LIQUOR Stanley Hillen, stationed with the Six Hundred and Thirty-fourth Avia tion Detachment at Mjddletown, was arrested by Patrolmen McCann. Blair, Nalen and Romlck last night on the charge of trying to secure liquor at the Elscheid Hotel. It is said he entered the hotel wearing a civilian cap and purchased bottled liquor. When Joseph Elscheid, pro prietor, discovered the deception and ordered h'm out, it is said he grew abusive, . _ , „ . 34 MEN LEAVE CITY FOR ARMY TRAINING CAMPS Men Inducted by Local Draft Board to Study Auto Mechanics Thirty-four draft registrants from the three city boards entrained at the Pennsylvania station at 11.40 this morning to go to the University of Pittsburgh, where they will take a special course of training as auto mechanics.

City's New Traffic Law Making Speed Limit 24 Miles Effective Tomorrow When Harrisburg's new traffic or dinance goes into effect to-morrow, there will be only slight changes in any of the rules issued from time to time in the past by the city police department. The state law provides a twenty four-miie-an-hour speed limit, except in congested districts or along high ways placarded with danger signs, where fifteen miles an hour or less is the limit. This has been written into the new traffic measure for the city, together with all other existing regu lations of one-way streets, parking near fire plugs and streets in which parking is prohibited. Another ordinance prohibiting park ing in Second street, between Walnut and Strawberry streets, has been in troduced since the present traffic measure was passed, and will prob ably be presented for final passage next week.
