S. By Associated Prest ton, Sept. 19.—investiga tion of political and propaganda ac tivities of the brewng iterosts was ordered to-day by the Senate. It will bo directed particularly at charges that the brewers have bought a Washington newspaper con tributed unprecedented sums to cam paign funds, influenced . newspapers through advertising contracts, paid money to citizens and even govern ment officials and obtained pledges from members of Congress. Arthur Brisbane, owner add ed itor of the Washington Times, an nounced yesterday that he bought the Times with money loaned by a brewer. A resolution ordering the Inquiry by the Judiciary Committee or a sub committee was introduced by Senator Jones, of New Mexico, and was adopted by the Senate with little de bate. It sets forth that it has been publicly charged against the United States Brewers' Association that there is evidence in the Department of Justice that the brewers have made contributions to campaign funds in violation of laws "on a scale without precedent in the political history of the country." • Mr. Palmer, the Department of Justice and United States District At torneys are called upon in the reso lution to supply what documents they have to support the charges. Senator Jones said he believed the evidence would be largely documen tary. It is alleged the brewers wore al lied to suhorganizations, among them being the German-American Alli ance, and the National Association of [Commerce and T.abor, and the Manu- I factu'rers' and Dealers' Association, and that the brewing association and ! browing interests have ramifications in other organizations. CITY IS FACING BIG PROBLEM [Continued from First Page.] an address on his findings before the Chamber at luncheon to-morrow. Impressed Witli City He was very much impressed with the city as a whole, this bqjpg his first visit. Many of our types of houses he found good and not a few of the local developments met with his hearty : pproval. He saw many houses that might be greatly improv ed at small expense but was more deeply interested with entirely new operations, it being his comment that there is plenty of well situated land about the city upon which attractive groups of modern houses might be located which would sell or rent at gures easily within reach of the aver age workingman. "The whole purpose of the survey," said Mr. Jackson, "is to ascertain just what Harrisburg ought to do to provide good houses at reasonable rentals for its working men. We realize that our need in this is great and we hope Mr. Velller will be able to find a solution for us. Of course we cannot say now what will or will not be done. Mr. Veiller is here in an advisory capacity and to talk for publication now would be to antici pate what he will have to say at the luncheon to-morrow. We hav£ tried to put all necessary Information at his disposal." Mr. Veiller was very much im pressed wth the Cameron Extension section, which hesaid is an excep tionally good example of this type of housing.

HAfUUSBURG t6BBl TELEGRAPH NATION PLANS TO TRAIN PRISONERS FOR WAR DUTIES Scheme Will Have First Trial in New Jersey; to Work or Fight By Associated Press Trenton, X- J., Sept. 19.—An ex periment which may lead to inten sive military and manual training of more Oian 400,000 prisoners in jails throughout the country to prepare those physically, .mentally and morally, lit for service in the Army has been approved by the War De partment. according to a statement to-day by Burdette G. Lewis, com missioner cf charities and correc tions, who said the plan would have its first rryout in New Jersey. Prisoners in this state, said the commissioner, will be utilized tnwork essential to the war and will be drill ed finder the supervision of an Army Officer for incorporation in a separate unit of the military forces. The plan, the official stated, will eliminate the objections of military officers to the enrollment of felons and misdemeanants with other troops. Prisoners should "work or fight," declared Mr. Lewis, asserting that the New Jersey scheme, if applied to other states, will result in the em ployment cf .the country's entire prisoner class in war work at home, noneombative service in camps here or abroad or actual fighting, accord ing to the capabilities of the Indivi duals. ROUNDING UP OF FOODVIOLATORS [Continued from First Page.] likely to take place in the county. The force of agents is designated as the Food Administration's Field Agents. These agents work in their speci fied territories, assisting the County Food Administrator in investigation and report to headquarters definitely and specifically on violations in the county. The organization reaches to every township and borough, and every violator of food regulations is discovered sooner or later. The personal identity of the food agents is never revealed. In Dau phin county it already has brought many food regulation violators to justice. . Where a delinquency is discovered ivy the food agents and the transgres sor has made an error., it is correct ed with the least possible trouble to the delinquent. Serious measures aro employed only in cases of defiant and willful infractions of the regula tions, * Where an error is discovered by the food agents and can be correct ed without disclosing the identity of the unintentional violator, the se cret agent brings it to the attention of the local food administration who corrects it secretly without disclos ing the identity of the violator. Each of the sixty-seven counties of the state is organized in the same way with thd food investigators, and the system already has achieved splendid results. The first force was organized in Philadelphia. It began with only a few members, but was augmented from time to time, until now it has the entire city under surveillance. In the same manner, Harrisburg is or ganized and any infraction of food regulations is almost certain to be detected. The agents are citizens who have volunteered for the patriotic serv ice. They include men and women of every walk in life and nearly ev ery nationality represented in the city's population. These field agents are under the direction of Houston Dunn, of Phila delphia, who has organized the force and will continue as its chief. Y. M. C. A. Secretary to Tells How It Feels to Go "Over the Top" C. W. Sayers, a Lancaster Y. M. C. A. secretary, who went "over the top" with the boys in France, will tell of his experiences overseas, at the Fall housewarming of the Central Y. M. C. A. to be held in the "Y" building, Thursday evening, October 3. This was announced at the weekly lun cheon of the social work committee held in the assembly room of the"Y" building at noon to-day. It is plan ned to make the event a "get to gether and be acquainted" time. Plans were also laid for a Hal lowe'n party for the men of the as sociation. Bobbing for apples, "Spooky Hollow." and other oldtime games will be included on the pro gram of the evening. Popcorn, ap ples and Hallowe'en refreshments will be served. Over-the-top-people —"the doers—find rare inspiration in the wonderfully flavored and full bodied cornflakes POST TOASTIES # They Save Wheat CONSERVATION OF FOOD DURING THE WINTER IS URGENT Administrator McCormick De clares Fresh Beef Will Become Scarce I Donald McCormick, county food [,administrator, who returned from a; ] conference between county food ad-i ministrators and State Food Admin istrator Howard Heinz at Philade!- ; phia yesterday, announced this! morning that the regulations gov-j erning wheat, sugar and substitutes will remain in force until spring at! least. 1 Beef regulations likely will become! ; more stringent within the very near, j future, he said. As soon as huge re- j | frigerator plants now being built in! ; France are completed, the beat beef I products of the United States will j | be shipped over seas for the use of: | the armies there. This will neccssi- j J tate a curtailment of the use of! j fresh beef in this country. The limitation of two pounds per 1 person monthly on sugar will remain! :in force indefinitely. The lack of j ships to import sugar, the shortage! ! of sugar beet and cane crops, the j destruction of huge refineries in France and Belgium, and the enor-1 mous supplies needed for the sol-j diers, combine to make the econom ical use of sugar necessary. Storing Wheat.. Wheat is being stored against a future shortage, he said. While the crops of this harvest wero bountiful, he said, next year's may not be so, 1 and it is necessary to provide against a shortage. Moreover, he added, the Allies and armies are looking to the nation to send them enough wheat for their sustenance. Every eouniry fighting against Ger many, he said, is on the four-to-one wheat purchase ration recently put into effect here. Mr. McCormick issued a request that all householders conserve in their homes by using substitutes with wheat flour when baking. , "Users of wheat who refuse to hake substitutes in with their wheat flour should he frowned down upon and publicly branded as slackers, the same as violators of the gasolineless Sunday order have been," Mr. Mc- Cormick said. Public eating houses still are limit ed to hut two ounces of hread td a patron at. one time. Other wheat products, including pie and pastry, however, may be sold in addition to the two ounces of wheat bread to one patron. INSPECT SCHOOMHJIMJINGS Grttyshara:, Pa., Sept. 19. Mrs. Walter H. O'Neal, accompanied by persons of Gettysburg, interested in the Daughters of the American Rev olution and War Work, made a trip of inspection of the buildings of the Indian school at Carlisle.

GERMANTFIGHT DESPERATELY [Continued from First Page.l Chemin des Dames branches oft from the road leading from Soissons to Laon. A strong counterattack led by grenadiers of ' the Prussian Guard was Repulsed by the French, who drove the enemy back of the road leading from the plateau of Ange Gardiene to the Colombes farm. This road is less than half a mile from the Chemin des Dames. Fighting Is Severe This success drives deeper the wedge south of the Htndenburg po sitions in the St. Gobain region and facilitates operations in the direction of Finort. The fighting in this region has been most severe (juring the last few days. Prisoners now are complaining that they are frequently left in the front line to shift for themselves. Rarely do their officers stand by them when they are attacked,, they say. It often happens tha£ machine gun "crews are ordered to hold po sitions and discover some time after ward that the troops behind them have abandoned the field. They at tribute the concealment from them of the retreat of the infantry to the fear entertained by their officers that they might be tempted to abandon their posts if they know that they were to be sacrificed.

Half a mile from the terminus, the road was a quagmire and dozens of heavy trucks were stalled and side-tracked. An old driver who had been with Sher man in his march to the sea said that the corduroy roads of Georgiu were macadam compared to this one. It was hoped to-day that the gov ernment would open the military road to this huge assembly. Otherwise a fortune will be lost In repairing of motor cars. Notwithstanding this 'drawback hundreds of cars made the trip to-day and when big circus tents went up, when red and green signs dotted the land and when they began to talk tractor, not the German General Staff could have bothered anybody there.

This is to be a contest where the cards turned face up on the table This committee is made up: Secretary Patton, E. K.

Harmon, Jr.. of the National Stock men and Farmers, Pittsburgh; Wil liam Douglass, chief of the tractor di vision. State Agricultural Depart ment; Prof. R. A. Biasing, of State College, and County Farm Agent Niesley. A supreme court which will give final answer to all appeals con sistes of Messrs. Patton, Harmon and Hlbshman. 4 The actual tests began a little after noon to-day with the following com petitors: No 1, Emerson-Branting ham Farm Implement Company, which has the E-B Tractor; No. 2, C.

First in State This is the first state show in the east and it promises to out-do any thing held in-the west where tractors first beeaame famous. The contest ing machines are four-wheeled and three-wheeled; only one caterpillar showed up, that made by the Cleve land people. The object of the great display is to show the adaptability of the tractor which will pull two or three plows. A tractor plow will cover 12 to 14 inches and a plow will therefore turn over anywhere from 24 to 42 inches. This beats the old fashioned "gee-haw" stuff all to bits | for old Dobbin could not turn up more ! than 12 inches. With this demon ma chine a farmer can turn up ten acres ! a day of fairly good land and what ! this means to increased farm prod ucts any one can estimate. The stated rules for competition : in this contest are the most com | prchensive ever used A govrn ! ment expert goes along with each | machine; the fuel, gasoline or kero j sene is measured; lubricating oil is | tested and the accurate? time taken by i each machine to complete its work will be taken by stop watches, so that every farmer in the land will know precisely what Individual trac tors do. The cost of these labor savers var ies from $7OO to $1,700, and even to I greater sums. One big thing that I will be determined here is the cost per acre for fuel, whether 40 cents las some claim or $2.50. The pro- gram to-®ay was for plowing, but to-morrow afternoon they will lit and seed and the whole plot of 260 acre* is expected to be finished by. Satur day night. i Newport Extract Company Protests Excessive Rates New Bloomfleld, Pa., Sept. It.
