INFANT MALADY
IN 18 COUNTIES
Infantile Paralysis Prevalent,
but Conditions Are Not
Alarmingn
Infantile paralysis exists in eight
een counties of the state at the pres
ent time, according to reports re
ceived at the office of the State De
partment of Health, but in no place
has it assumed alarming proportions
with the exception of Franklin
county, where there are twenty-six
cases, fifteen in Chambersburg. The
Board of Health, of Chambersburg,
has forbidden the opening of schools
until the disease is under control
and has excluded all persons under
the age of eighteen from all public
gatherings. The county medical in
spector, in co-operation with the lo
cal Board of Health, is investigating
each case in the borough and is like
wise visiting each case reported in
the rural districts.
Reports luivc conic from the vi
cinity of Wilkes-Barre of what is al
leged to be a strange malady from
which a numhpr of people have been
suffering and which has caused
some deaths. An investigation has
been made by the medical inspector
of Luzerne county and his conclu
sion is that the disease is dysentery.
There have been three deaths and
there are, at the present time, two
active cases. The cases are all lo
cated in Wilkes-Barre township In
the vicinity of Laurel Run. One of
the state nurses has been detailed to
visit those afflicted and render nurs
ing assistance.
An auxiliary state forest reserve of

WILLIAM JENNINGS
IS VINDICATED
[Continued from First Pngc.]
the height of the famine there was
little or no demand for it and thou
sands of householders declined to
accept buckwheat sizes, which are
only about one grade above coal dirt.
Persistent Misrepresentation
Notwithstanding these facts the
Harrisburg Patriot again to-day per
sisted in the effort to convict Mr.
Jennings of a violation of the regu
lations.
Even if the well-known chairman
of the Committee of National Defense
and safety in this county, who has
also been chairman of the Dauphin
County Liberty Loan drives and ac
tive in all manner of war work, had
inadvertently violated some obscure
regulation, which he has not done,
his friends all over the district be
lieve that the great public service he
has rendered entitled him to some
consideration, especially In view of
the fact that such misrepresentation
would have a tendency to place him
in a false position among those who
do not know of his patriotic efforts.
His friends everywhere have not
forgotten that Mr. ..ennings has two
sons in the service in France and that
Mrs. Jennings is the head of the Na
tional War Aid here.
The Fuel Administration lias urged
householders who tan use the small
er grades of coal to do so. in order
to conserve the sizes that are avail
able for general domestic purpose,
and by the purchase, of buckwheat
coal, Mr. Jennings has to that ex-'
tent relieved the Perry county mar
ket. The amount he bought this
year is only one-third his annual re
quirements regardless of the fact
that he might have purchased under
tlie rules two-thirds of that amount
in larger sizes.

Sets Draft Drawing
For Early in October i
Washington, Sept. 6. The rapidity !
with which the men must be called to
the colors under the new selective ser
vice law, in order to keep the canton
ments tilled next month, was empha
sized by Provost Marshal General
Crowder, who said that the drawing
to determine the order in which regis
trants were to be called probably
would be held on October 2 and the
lirst of the new recruits Inducted into
the services by October 15.
Becuuse of this emergency all of
the officials connected witli the com
i plicated draft machinery have been
called upon to make unusual efforts,
not only in registering, but in classi
fying under the questionnaire system
the 13,000,000 men who are to reg
i ister on September 12. It is General
I Crowder's hope that this great task
of classification may be in its com
pleted form by January 1.
It will require a steady flow of the
new registrants into the camps to
meet the program for an Army of
5,000,000 men by next June.
Roundup of Slackers
Stirs Senate Again
Wnsliington, Sept. 6. —Controversy
over draft slack roundups broke out
again to-day in the Senate. Senator
Smoot, of ytuh. Republican culled i
up his resolution pioposing an inves
tigation by the Senate Military Com- j
mittee of thj arrests in New York
and elsewhere, particularly to dis- >
close by whose orders soldiers .and
sailors participated.
Senator Jone.s, of New Mexico, Dem
ocrat, vigorously protested against
adoption of tile resolution.
The raids, he said, are nothing new
and have accomplished much in iden
tification of slackers. In Chicago, lie
said 800 were found and in New
York 1,500, besides several hundred
deserters from the army.
