[Continued on Pago 2.] Senate Paves Way For Bone Dry Order Washington, Sept. 6.—Under a joint resolution adopted by the Sen ate the President would have author ity to make the entire country a "dry" military zone at any time dur ing the period of the war. The reso lution, sponsored by Senator Kellogg and adopted witli or.ly one dissenting vote, went to the House for consid eration. The resolution carries precisely the same regulation as to the declaration of military zones as the Sheppard amendment, which was attached as a rider to the war time prohibition amendment to the food stimulation bill before it was adopted last week, except that the Kellogg resolution removes the time limit of July 1, 1919, as carried in the Sheppard amendment. The "Sheppard amendment is tied up with the food stimulation bill.- There is no certainty as to when the food bill eventually will pass Con gress, and Senate leaders, impressed with the situation in Wisconsin and elsewhere, in which "wet" spots have appeared in the immediate neighbor hood of "dry" zones, wanted to get iiulcker action. BAKKH ORDERS CLASS 1 CAPS FILLED FOR WAR Washington. Sept. 6. —Secretary Baker has ordered the chief of each bureau in the War Department to replace by December 31 all men within the draft ages who would be classified in Class 1 now assigned to duty in Washington or in War De partment branches elsewhere, with men physically disqualified for gen eral military service. FOE IS UNABLE TO HOLD LINES AT ANY POINT Continuing their pressure along the front from Rheims to Ypres, the Allied forces are pushing back the Germans on virtually this entire 150-mile line.- Telling progress has been made in particular by the French and Americans along the southern part of the front. The French are before the old Hindenburg positions along a considerable stretch in this sector, where they are closing in upon the bastion of St. Gobain, the keystone of the German defensive system in the west. < Farther north the enemy armies still are in retreat before the French and British who are capturing town after town as they make rapid strides towards the line front which the Germans attacked in their, offensive of last March. Ham is almost within the allied grasp and Chauny is seriously threatened. The Americans have moved up along the Aisne line, reaching the ground immediately south of the river. The Germans north oi the stream appear inclined to hall temporarily but there seems to be no question that they will be speedily lorced to resume their [Continued on Page 2.] WM. JENNINGS IS VINDICATED, POTTER RULES Buckwheat Coal Not Regu lated by Government as to Price or Delivery William Jennings has been vindi cated of the false charges brought against him through the columns of the Harrisburg Patriot that he had violated fuel regulations by purchas ing buckwheat coal without knowl edge of the fuel administrator of Perry county or through a local dealer. Koss A. Hickok, Dauphin county fuel administrator, sot into telephone communication with William Pot ter, state administrator, at Philadel phia, to-day and received the follow, ing ruling from Mr. Potter: "The state fuel administrator does not consider No. 2 buck wheat coal us a prepared size and therefore it is not reg ulated by the government as to price or delivery." In other words anybody is entitled to buy any quantity of No. 2 buck wheat coal anywhere wthout restric tion. I'ublie Indignant There is a general public resent ment over the Jennings attack which is believed to be an effort to place a leader in war activities jn this com munity in a false position before the people by the Harrisburg Patriot. i'nder pretense of performing a public duty the McCormick morning organ lias endeavored to create the impression through long distance in terviews with the Peri\- County Puel Administrator and otherwise that William Jennings, of this city, who has a country home at Duncannon Perry county, has violated a fuel reg ulation in purchasing buckwheat coal without notifying the Perry county administrator ■or buying through a local dealer. Mr. Jennings stated explicitly when the matter was called to his atten tion yesterday that he was given to understand that there were no re strictions on this grade of coal, which is not available for general domestic use owing to its size. To burn this coal it is necessary to have special boilers, grates and drafts. Puel Administrator Hickock, of Dauphin county, confirmed this state ment, and it is known that others last winter bought buckwheat coal without restriction, for even during [Continued on Page 11.] 64 YEARS IN BUSINESS AT SAME PLACE NEW RECORD MADE BY GEORGE BALSLEY • "The way to get along in life is to like everybody and think they like you," said George lialsley this morning, as he pared oft half u pound of cream cheese in his ancient little grocery store at the corner of Second and Cranberry streets. Mr. Balsev's observation was echoed by half a dozen customers, whose coun tenances reflected the merry one of the man who for 64 years has "tended" store in this same spot; what is believed to be a record for the whole United States. "If you can find any man who has run a grocery store for this period of time Ml give him, let's see, a sack of flour," challenged the venerable merchant, who has just passed his V Sth year. Talk about old Harrisburg. Charles Dickens would have loved to saunter about this ancient booth, CONGRESS GETS POOR START ON BIG WAR BILL No Quorum Present When Kitchin Calls Up $24,- 000,000,000 Measure Washington, Sept. 6.—The war revenue bill, greatest measure of its kind ever brought before the legis lative branch of any government, passed into the second stage of its progress through Congress to-day when it came up to-day in the House with less than one-third of the mem bers ready in their seats to begin its consideration. In fact, there was not even a quorum present when Democratic Leader Kitchin arose to call up the bill, which provides the means of raising $24,000,000,000 to pay Amer ica's share for the war for the com ing year. Representative Longworth. Re publican, of Ohio, gave notice that he would insist at all times on a full attendance. The plan is to pass the measure through the House and have it ready for the Senate in about ten days. The bill is considered by both parties as a win-the.war meas ure. After almost an hour's delay the House succeeded in getting to gether aliout half of its membership —but a quorum nevertheless—and the actual consideration of the bill began. "Here's the bill." said the major ity leader, holding aloft the sheaf of pages which composed the volumi nous measure, "which marks an epoch in the history of the world. ltj>roposes the issue of $16,000,000,- 000 in Liberty" Honds and to take from the people in taxes more than $8,000,000,000. We believe it can and will be done without crippling or hurting a single American indus try or without financially embar rassing a single individual. "Eight billion dollars," continued Mr. Kitchin, "is twice as much as any nation since the beginning of time has ever attempted to collect from the people by taxation and it is three times as much as the com bined taxes und bonds pf the entire Civil War." | fragrant with memories of other I generations, but so neat and efficient to-day that the proprietor is busy as a bapefoot boy in a bumble bee's nest from morning to night. Never a Vacation "Since I started to keep store here," observed Mr. Bulsey. lilllng a kerosene can, "there have been about thirty fellows come and go in the grocery business right around me. Guess they didn't understand the philosophy of things as well as I do. 1 just stayed on the Job and never took a vacation, 'cept to go lishin' on holidays, and the folks in '.he neighborhood knew I was always he*e to supply 'em."
