The brother, William E. Wilson, is locat ed at Camp Wadsworth, Spartan burg, S. C. Miss Wilson is exceedingly modest when she speaks about her efforts. "They are very slight," she says. "Anyone could do what I am doing." But the members of the firm are not quite so sure that Miss Wilson could bo as easily replaced as she would have others believe. They tell how she works long hours each day about her duties, duties which would tax the mental and tire the physical ca pacity of quite a few men with more than average capacities in these re spects. Miss Wilson had been engaged as stenographer at the offices of the Harrisburg Chapter, American Red Cross, when her brother was called into service. That her position at the headquarters could be more easily filled than could the quarry position, she quickly decided, so she resigned her position in the rooms of the Red Cross workers to give her greater effo:'. in the interests of Hoffman Brothers & Wilson. Miss Wilson has made herself so valuable as secre tary-treasurer of the firm since en tering upon her duties that she has been selected as temporary junior partner during her brother's absence. The quarry firm is supplying every ounce of its crushed limestone to the Emergency Fleet Corporation. This product, officials explain, is used in Scotchmen of City See Bonnie Plaids at Bowman's Store Virtually every Scotchman in Harrisburg stood before the big win dows of Bowman's store this morn ing when the thoughtful window decorator put on display plaids worn by the leading Scottish clans. "Hoot, mon!" gasped a canny Scot as he furtively wiped a tear from his eye. "It's the first time 1 hae seen the plaid since X left Edinboro town!" "Mon, dinna ye see Harry Lauder wi' his garb?" asked his neighbor. "The wee bairn was ill. I couldna see 'im," the first speaker explained. "Oh, and it's so purty," exclaimed a grayhaired woman who joined the party. "Why, there's our own plaid wi' the bonnie gay colors," and she pointed to the silk of the Malcolms. The crowd surged back and forth and the silks were the center of attraction all through the morning until a thought ful Harrisburger brought Burke's "Peerage" and "The Book o' the Plaid" for the information of the onlookers. Clans represented by the plaids in the window include the Clan Rose, the Clan Stewart, Clan Macbeth, Clan MacPherson and Clan Malcolm. In the various plaids there are rich tones of royal purple, brilliant red, green and gold much in evidence. It is a matter of wartime interest that these plaids are identically the same as those now being worn by the Highlanders in France. "Here's a good one!" a Scot told the Telegraph representative. "These plaids are worn by our bonnie Hielander. The Germans called them women until they knocked the Ger mans into pudding. Now the Huns call 'em old women from Hell! They are staunch and sturdy fighters too, m'lad!" GROCERS PLAN TO CLOSE THURSDAYS [Continued from First Page.] would be exceeding his authority in issuing such a compulsory edict with out authority from Washington. He is, however, in full sympathy with the dealers, and has made certain recom mendations to them in the following lejtor addressed to Monroe A. Morri son, secretary of the Harrisburg Re tail Grocer's Association: "ThefcFuel Administration would apprecifce it very much if your as sociating could see its way clear to adopt resolutions, requiring all your members to not open their stores be fore 7 a. m. nor close later than g p. m„ during the coming winter.

"However, as we are all giving our time and money to win this war by saving light and so that fuel can be used for essential purposes, we will be doing our duty fully here at home by doing this."

While being held under the au spices of the Harrisburg Retail Gro cers' Association, all Interested deal ers have been cordially invited to at tend. The meeting will start at eight o'clock. Denies Pro-German Is ' to Teach at Academy That Ado'.ph Schumacher, Balti more, an alleged pro-German had been elected to a position on the fac ulty of the Harrisburg. Academy, was vigorously denied this morning by Arthur E. Brown, headmaster of the local institution. A story was cir culated several days ago that Schu macher, who had been discharged from a position on the faculty of St. John's College.

He is serving with the Headquarters Motor Section; Fourth Artillery Corps, at the South Carolina camp. Building and Loan Associations Cannot Buy Bonds, Confirmed Attorney General Brown to-day ren dered an opinion supplemental to his opinion of some weeks since deciding; that building and loan associations cannot legally purchase Liberty Bonds. The opinion is largely reitera tion in an amplilied form of the con clusions reached in the first. Mr,. Brown replies to points raised at a hearing attended by representatives of several of the associations. To the contention that the associa tions could buy Liberty Bonds and sell them when it became necessary to liquify funds, the attorney general suys that the government has decided that Liberty Bonds are not to be con sidered as securities, to be bought and sold during the war, and that it would not be patriotic for the as sociations to buy and sell under these circumstances. Mr. Brown says it is not necessary for the associations to withhold idle funds from the government, for the reason that they may be turned'back to shareholders either in the form of loans or as cancelled shares and that many large holders of association shares have expressed willingness to buy bonds if their money is released by the associations. To the contention that there is in some associations mon%y that the shareholders cannot withdraw, the attorney general says he doubts very much if there is such, and says he does not understand, under the law, how there can be funds of the kind. If there is, he adds, it could be Invest ed in Liberty Bonds, but he again ex presses doubt as to its existence.

YANKEES IN ONE OF WAR'S WORST ATTACKS [Continued from First Page.] admitted the British troops had been forced back to the western out skirts of Bullecourt. General Mangin has in his com mand some of he finest American divisions, together with elite French and colonial troops. The fighting during the past 4 8 hours has equalled in ferocity anything as yet seen during the war. General Ludendorff, in conse quence, has thrown in the best divisions he can muster. These are Alpine regiments, Prussian guards and picked Bavarian and Saxon units. Nevertheless the enemy had to give way and the Franco American forces have won hall the plateau between the Soissons and the Coucy le-Chateau. The Soissons-Coucy and the Soissons-Anizy-le-Chateau roads are threatened and the Germans are faced by the danger of the French getting behind Chemin des Dames in the rear. Mangin Attacks General Mangin attacked the southern end of the line. The region in which he is fighting forms an elbow where the line running from Dunkirk to Noyon meets a line run ning at right angles across France to Nancy. This "hinge" position is exceptionally strong since it is based north of Soissons on a high plateau overlooking the valley of the Aisne, to the south, and the Ailette, to the north. There are wooded ranges of hills in this St. Gobain country which dominate Laon and a serious defeat here would oblige the enemy to make a precipitate retreat and force him to abandon, not only the line of the Vesle, but the three lines formed by the Aisne, the Chemin des Dames and the Ailette. Waited Too Dong Conservative military opinion here views the situation with great satis faction. It is felt the Germans de layed their retreat too long and that they are fighting so hard and sacri ficing men to gain time because the Hindenburg line is not yet ready. In any case that famous position is not believed to be such a solid rampart as it was when first made a year ago, when the works were new and well kept up and were gar risoned by solid troops with unim paired morale. They now are a formidable obstacle, but everything depends on the condition they are in and also the state of the troops which will fall back into them.

HUNS LOVE BLOOD ' Amsterdam, Aug. 31.—An illu minating insight into Teutonic mentality is provided by the Co logne Volks Zeitung, which, la menting the terrible bloodshed and destruction caused by the war, says: "Much as we detest it as human beings and as Christians, yet we exult in it as Germans." BOTH RAILWAYS WILL INCREASE THEIR FARES [Continued from First Page.] increase. Taxes this year, it was said, would be increased more than $40,- 000. * "The new rate," said President Musser," will in no way give the company more profit but instead it will only tend to help carry the enor mous advance in operating expenses. We have been paying no dividends on either common or preferred stock and from figures already compiled a six-cent fare will not permit a di vidend from present indications." "Washington officials pointed out a few days ago," continued Mr. Musser, "that the purchasing power of a dollar in the past two years has decreased from approximately fifty I to seventy-five per cent. That np-1 plies to the street car business as well as any other industry. Prac-1 tically everything in use to-day has been increased in price, doubled and sometimes tripled and it naturally follows that our increased expenses must be met in some manner. Our figures show for the past several months that barely enough fares have been taken in on some lines to pay the wages of the men employed j on those lines and the power con-1 sumed. One line in particular, shows that the expenditures are I above the receipts. With such con- I ditions dividends and interests on I bonds do not enter into the increase. ! There is a loss before the stock shares and bonds are reckoned with. "There was but one of two things left for the directors of the company to do unless we agreed to allow the company to go to ruin. One was to increase the revenue by raising the fares to cut down on the service. Eliminating cars would result in in adequate service, crowded conditions and general dissatisfaction. The slight increase in fares will permit us, we hope, to continue our service as at present and give us facilities for improving it. "Increases in fares rather than elimination of service arp recom mended by the War Labor Bourd of which former President William Howard Taft and Frank P. Walsh are joint chairmen. In a recent re port of the board it is stated that 'ln justice the public should pay an adequate war compensation for a service which cannot be rendered ex cept for war prices. In the face of added expenses, the report continues, bankruptcy, receiverships and de moralization with failure of service will result until there is udequate compensation." * President C. H. Bishop after mak ing the announcement that the Val ley Railways Company had filed no tice with the Public Service Com mission relative to the new tariff, re fused to discuss the company's move. Notices of the increase were posted in all the company's cars last even ing. Since the company has gone be fore the Public Service Commission it is likely formal complaints will be filed by borough councils of West Shore towns, and the West Shore Firemen's Union if these bodies fol low out thoir intentions expressed some time ago. The Camp Hill council has au thorized its solicitors to look up old ordinances which include several agreements between the borough and the railways company. Councilmen are of the opinion that an ordinance granting the company right of way through the borough providing the company give a five-cent fare, will have some bearing on the question. The West Falrview council has also decided to work against an increase in rates. At a recent meeting of this council a committee was ap pointed to appear before the Public Service Commission to protest against any rate advance. Working for the benefit of the en tire West Shore, the West Shore Fire men's Union has taken up the work and will make arrangements at its next meeting to appear before the commission to protest against the in crease. At a recent conference between a committee of the West Shore Union and officials of the Valley Railways Company it was pointed out that the increase is absolutely necessary. Un ion officers claim that it may be nec essary to increase the rates to six cents, but they did not see why it was necessary for any additional in crease. If the increase is made, it is un derstood, the union will make ef forts to retain the flrve-cent fare lor Lemoyne and Worntleysburg and de mand the extension of the transfer zone to Enola. Giving as their rea sons for opposing a seven-cent fare for Wormleysburg and Lemoyne. union officers claim these towns have the poorest service of any on the en tire system. Officers claim trat dur ing busy hours in the morning and evenings and on Saturdays Lemoyne and Wormleysburg residents are the straphangers on the cars. Officers claim that Lemoyne residents getting on the cars alter they are filled by New Cumberland residents are com pelled to stand and similar conditions exist when Wormleysburg residents use Enola and Marysville cars. That the fates would likely be in creased late this year became known last month when President Bishop said it was absolutely necessary to adjust the fare schedule. Directors of the company met last month and decided to appoint a committee to investigate the proposed rate increase and report at the next meeting of the directors. This committee's re port advised that the increase be made and yesterday's action of tho company officials was the result of the company's plans for the last six months, it is understood. The changes made by the new Valley Railways tariff include the following: Increases: Rate of fare increased from five cents to seven cents per zone. Rate for school tickets in books of fifty is increased from $1.25 to $1.75, but the age limit of 18 years is abolished. For transporting packages the rates per zone are increased from five cents to seven cents. Omissions: Sale of books of twen ty-five tickets for SI.OO "good on all lines west of Mechanicsburg" is dis continued. "Picnic rates" to Boiling Springs and Carlisle are discontinued. Changes: A provision is added providing that—"Transfers may be obtained on that portion of the company's street railway system operated along the western shore of the Susquehanna River, lying be tween the northern line of the pub lic square in the borough of West Falrview on the north, the borough of Caitf> Hill on the west and the borough of New Cumberland on the south," AUGUST 61, iVis.

MANPOWERBILL SIGNED BY WILSON arduous duty of soldier life are to bt taken first. Youths in their eighteenth yeca: will be placed in a separate group, the War Department has announc ed, to be subject to a special edu cational program and will not be called until the supply of othcj available men in the new classes is exhausted. This does not mean thai their calling will be long deferred ! however, inasmuch as it has beer j announced that all men in the nev . registration accepted for genera service will be under arms by Jam 30, 1919. The man power bil makes no specific provision for sep urate classification of 18-year-oli boys and War Department plans foi their treatment have been made on executive initiative. Although the "work or fight' clause which would have effector striking workmen was taken out o the bill before passage yesterday Provost Marshal General Crowdei has planned to apply vigorously ex isting regulations relating to idlr men or those engaged in non-es sential employment to the newlj registered men. The Proclamation After citing the law and statins the regulations for registration th< President's proclamation read ai follows: "Fifteen months ago the men ol the country from twenty-one tc thirty-one years of age registered Three months ago and again last month tlioe.e who had just reached the age of 21 were added. It now remains to include all men between the ages of 18 and 46. "This is not a new policy. A cen tury and a quarter ago it was delib erately ordained by those who then were responsible for the safety and defence of the nation that theduty of military service should rest upon all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45. We now accept and fulfill the obligation which they established, an obligation expressed in our national statutes from that time until now. We solemnly pur pose a decisive victory of arms and deliberately to devote the larger part of the military manpower of the nation to the accomplishment of that purpose. "The younger men have from the first been ready to go. They have furnished voluntary enlistments out of all proportion to their numbers. Our military authorities regard them us having the highest combatant qualities. Their youthful enthusi asm, their virile eagerness, their gal lant spirit of daring make them the admiration of all who see them in action.
