Moyer Indicts Kaiser
and All of His Gang
At the celebration of the anniver
sary of the birth of Lafayette held
Hi Independence Square, Philadel
phia, Gabriel H. Moyer, the retiring
state president of the Patriotic Order
Sons of America, indicted the Kaiser
and his advisors as follows:
"I want to see a more distinct
Americanism. I want to see a law
enacted in Pennsylvania that will
make it compulsory for every child
to memorize "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
The greatest need in this country at
present is the removal of everything
that, smacks of Prussianlsm. Every
German and pro-German should be
interned during the war and sent
C. O; D. to Germany after the war,
and every publication in the German
language should be suppressed."
"The Kaiser nor any of his Pots
dam gang should not he at the peace
table, but should be tried for their
foul crimes, convicted and sentenced
to stew in Hell broth. We demand
that just punishment shall be ad
ministered wherever personal guilt
is shown. The time has come to
say to the Kaiser: 'An eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' So
only shall we be in line with the
Nazarene who drove in righteous in
dignation the money-changers from
the temple."
BRITAIN AND BEER
London, Sept. 10.—Announce
ment that the breweries of the i
United States will be closed down
December 1 for the purpose of |
saving coal and grain for the use j
of the Allies in the prosecution j
of the war is creating a deep im
pression in Great Britain. The
Sunday Evening Telegram says:
"No more beer will be brewed
in the United States after No
vember; that is a simple if dras
tic way of answering the ques
tion of bread or beer. As Amer
ica sends us grain, it looks as if
she is closing her breweries that
ours may remain open. It is very
doubtful if, supposing the cir
cumstances were reversed, we
should do the same for her; but
it is a notable example of the
determination of the United
States to let nothing stand in the
•way of carrying on the war."
More Aircraft, Cry
of Allied Forces
Washington, Sept. 10 Represen
tative Padgett and seven other mem
bers of the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee returned yesterday from
Europe, enthusiastic over the work
of the American navx in the war
zone.
Representative Farr, of Pennsyl
vania. said the King of England told
members of the committee he wished
more aircraft would come from
America. Premier Lloyd George
said the American troops arrived in
force just in time, while Premier
Clemenceau, of France, Mr. Farr
said, declared the American forces
"not only brought punch, but good
luck."
"Our men are doing wonderfully
good lighting," continued Mr. Farr.
"It was the recklessness of their dash
that at critical moments over
whelmed the enemy. Aside from
what they achieved themselves they
have put new courage and inspiration
into the French and British.
"The destroyers we have over
there are doing great work, but we
need more of them.
"We need more aircraft and then
more. That is the cry that goes up
from the Allied forces—send more
aircraft."
LIGHTING COST CUT
By an arrangement with the Har
risburg Light and Power Company
the city will be allowed s3l a year
reduction for each live-light standard
on which two of the globes have been
discontinued as a fuel saving meas
ure. There are about seventy such
cluster standards according to City
Electrician Clark E. Diehl and tho
saving from August 1 to December
31 will total more than S9OO, lie
said. The city had been paying SBS
a year for each live-light standard
and under the new arrangement with
two of each five lights discontinued
the city wiil pay $54 a year.
CHARGED WITH STEALING
MILK FROM DOORSTEPS
Charged with stealing a bottle of
milk, Frank Sans, 1110 North Sev
enth street, was yesterday held for
court by Alderman Fritz Kramme.
It is charged that Sans stole milk
from Mrs. G. Levi, 439 Verbeke
s.treet. For the past few months
residents of the neighborhood have
been complaining that their bottles
of milk have disappeared from the
front doorsteps.
GERMANS SHELL
WOEVRE TOWNS;
PATROL ROUTED
Huns Afraid at Seeing Ameri
can Negroes in Opposing
War Lines
With the American Army in
France, Sept. 10.—The enemy heavily
shelled towns in the Woevre sector
behind our lines yesterday morning.
One of his patrols attacked the
American outposts but was easily
driven off.
There was considerable patrol ac
tivity in the Vosgeß district on Sun
day night. One encounter took place,
the enemy retiring with one wounded
man. Colored troops have occupied
one Vosges village in which French
civilians were held prisoner.
The Frenchmen on coming through
to the American lines declared the
Germans were considerably excited
at finding themselves opposed by ne
groes of whom they are said to be
afraid because of reports that the
American colored troopers cut off
tho oars of their prisoners. Tho
negro in this sector recently had an
example of German treachery when
a German patrol attacked after
shouting "kamerad." They now are
thoroughly determined to have their
revenge.
Pittsburgh Man to

EARLY CHRISTMAS
BUYING IS URGED
[Continued from First Page.] '
hold out the advice to the public to
purchase what they desire early;
otherwise they may find they may
not be able to have their needs filled.
With their working forces already
seriously depleted, due to the exi
gencies of war and in many cases
straining to their utmost to meet
even present demands, heads of vari
our Harrisburg stores are at a loss
to understand how to meet the great
ly increased labor attendant on the
holiday season. If customers wish
to be satisfied, one o{flcial said to
day, they must distribute their pur
chases over a greater length of
time-
War Reduces Salespeople
Big additions previously made to
salesforces during'the holiday sea
son will not bo made this year. One
reason is that it is practically im
possible to get the necessary help,
the other because the stores have
agreed with the. War Industries
Board that, in lieu of the lifting of
the so-called "ban on Christmas
shopping," they will not increase
their forces as they hitherto have
done.
Ready For Santa In October
Practically every store in town
will be ready during the early days
of October to make sale of Christmas
goods in order to relieve the strain on
their employes during the holiday
season and to better serve their cus
tomers. "We hope the people will
take heed and do their shopping
early," said George Bogar, of the
Bogar Sporting Goods Store, which
sells a large amount of Christmas
articles. "By coming early, he point
ed out, thoy may get their pick of
Christmas articles, will have their
needs more satisfactorily cared for,
and will be aiding us in following
governmental requests."
"The War Industrial Board," said
David Kaufman of the Kaufman's
Underselling Stores, "has favored the
merchants by lifting the ban on unes
sential Christmas articles, after it
was pointed out that stocks of them
had already been secured. {Jow it
is the duty to adhe're tb the requests
of the government.
"They have asked us not to in
crease our forces over the holiday
season beyond the average force be
cause of the urgent need for help in
other industries, and this will cer
tainly be udhered to by the mer
chants of Harrisburg. But it is in
cumbent on the public to aid by
having its purchases cover as long a
period of time as possible. In this
way only," he warned, "will we bo
able to meet the needs of people of
Harrisburg and vicinity."
People Must Aid
"Only through the aid of the peo
ple," William H. Bennethuni, man
ager of Dives, Ptjmeroy and Stewart,
said, "will we be able to get rid of
our big stock of Christmas merchan
dise. We are rushed to meet tho
people's demands now; and we can
not increase our force."

Republicans Win in
Maine's Ballot War;
, Milliken Re-elected
By Associated Press
Portland, Me., Sept. 10.—Returns
tabulated late last night made it
virtually certain that a solid Repub
lican delegation would continue to
represent the state in Washington,
and that Republican control o£ state
affairs would be nearly, if not quite,
as complete as during the past two
years.
United States Senator Bert M.
Fcrnald, Republican, and all four
Republican Congressmen, have been
returned to office.
In the contest for Governor, early
returns showed Governor Carl E.
Milliken was running behind Sen
ator Fernald, but indicated that
maintenance of the same ratio in
the unreported communities would
result in his re-election over Ber
trand G. Mclntire, Democrat, by
about 3.800 Votes.
CLASS IN HYGIENE MEETS
The first class of the season in
elementary hygiene and home-care
of the sick was opened at the Civic

Hattie Ensminger as the teacher.
Twenty members were present. Two

There are a half dozen vacancies in
one of these classes. Applicants
have been asked to communicate
with Mrs. James I. Chamberlin,

maintenance of the pumping_statton
and to pay a bill of $1,157.70 pre
sented by J. W. Ledoux, Philadel
phia, the expert who made a report
on the city's water system and pre
pared the rate schedule now in ef
fect.
Aocording to Mr. Hassler the cost
of operating the new electric pump
was not included in the annual bud
get and the expenses of running it
have been paid from the pumping
station appropriation, almost ex
hausting that amount of money. Af
ter paying the Ledoux bill the bal
ance will be transferred to the pump
ing station fund. Ledoux based his
charges as lollows: Preliminary re
port. $107.70; iinal report, $1,000:

Conl Purchase Authorized
Council to-day authorized Commis
sioner E. Z. Gross to purchase coal
for the various tire companies to the
best advantage of the lire depart
ment as it was impossible to get bids
for the supply. The lowest estimate
for part of the amount needed was
from the Wallis Coal Company, bid
ding $8.85 a ton. Other dealers have
also offered to furnish coal at $9.10
and some of them will receive orders
also, as one dealer will not fill the
entire order of the department, Mr.
Gross said. Other dealers who sub
mitted estimates include United Ice
and Coal Company, H. M. Kelley and
Company, J. H. Gates and Company,
Fry Ccal Company, J. M. Lehr, Mc-
Creath Brothers.
Money to Be Transferred
Commissioner Hassler introduced
a resolution which was passed, au
thorizing the transfer of S4OO from
street lighting fund to fund for elec
tric current and gas, and a total of
more than S7OO from three other
funds to a fund for repairs to the
No. 3 engine at the city pumping
station.
New Fire Alarm Box
The ordinance directing the in
stallation of a, fire alarm box at
Cameron and Maclay streets for the
exclusive use of Pennsylvania
State Lunatic Hospital, was passed
finally. The box will be connected in
a few days City Electrician Clark
E. Diehl said.
WORLDS" SERIES
PLAYERS STRIKE
[ContiirtiCfl from First Page.]
StuffV Mclnnis was the only athlete
in uniform. Meanwhile the crowd
grew restless and there were repeat
ed cries of "play ball."
The commission came out to Fen
way Park and asked the club owners
to ascertain what their teams pro
posed to do, that the spectators might
be informed.
"I told Leslie Mann, the Cub's
leader over the telephone," said i
Chairman Herrmann, "that the com- 1
mission would not change the rule i
and that if the players did not pro-1
pose to play, to inform the public |
at once at the gates. I further told |
Mann that we would end the series
at this point and divide the money
that was coming to the players equal
ly among the club owners and that
we would take care of the players'
share of the Red Cross contribu
tions."
Ban B. Johnson, president of the
American League, said he had noth
ing to add to what Chairman Herr
mann had said.
_At 2.30 p. m. the scheduled hour
for calling of the game, the players
still were 'in the clubhouse talking
over the situation.
Some of them were wondering if
they had enough money to pay their!
way home.
The crowd had something to cheer
for when a large detachment of
wounded soldiers brought to this
country from overseas last Saturday
arrived in the grandstand and took
box seats. The entire grandstand and
the bleachers rose en masse, while
the band played "Over There" and
gave the heroes three lusty cheers,
the loudest and the most heartfelt
that have yet been given in the series, j
During the continued absence of
the playerr the band made gallant
efforts to entertain the crowd which
was showing remarkable patience.
At 3 p, m. Ban Johnson and Garry
Herrmann, representing the National
Commission and Harry Hooper of the
Red Sox, and Leslie Mann, "of the
Cubs, representing the players, still
were wrangling. Herrmann and
Johnson explained the commission's
percentage arrangement to the' plap
ers' representatives, but the dead
lock showed no signs of a change.
After the game liud been held up
for liulf an hour an announcer stated!
through a megaphone that the ganje:
would begin "in about fifteen min
utes."

Few More Teachers Are
Needed in Rural Schools
There are a few more vacancies In
rural schools In the county to be till
ed according to W. R. Zimmerman,
assistant county superintendent. One
of these is In Middle Paxton town
ship, two are schools on islands in
Londonderry township and a few
others are In the upper end of the
county.
According to Professor Zimmerman
a number of married women reading
the appeal for teachers, volunteered
their services as a patriotic act so
that there would be no shortage.
Some of them have had much experi
ence he said and will be a big aid
In meeting the teacher shortage. One
woman has a family of two children
but has arranged her duties at home
so that she can teach a school. She
said she felt it her duty to come for
