18 HARRISBURGERS BORN IN ITALY CELEBRATE DAY Forty-Eighth Anniversary of Unified Nation Quietly, but Generally Observed To-day is Italy's forty-eighth an niversary as a unified nation, it be ing just that number of years ago when the troops of King Victor Em manual entered Rome, after meeting with but little resistance, and though that auspicious occurrence will have no concerted celebration in Harris burg. evidences are plenty that all the local descendants of Caesar are noting the day with more than usual interest. This, of course, is due to the war and the prominent part be ing taken by Italy helping to win the titanic struggle for democracy. Ital ians of Harrisburg, as a body, have never signally observed the day of Italy's liberty. Epitomizing the feeling of Har risburg Italians on jhe war and the forty-eighth birthday of their native land. V. F. Salerno. 113 South Third street, prominent Italian of this city and venerable of the Lords of Carlo Alberto, said this morning: "The war looks prettty good to me now and should be won for the Allies. Italy, who won her inde pendence and unity forty-eight years ago, is glad to be on the side of her French. British and American broth ers in their fight for the same prin ciples of unity and liberty through out the world." Indications are that although there will be no large public observance of the day among Italians here, many informal recognitions of the gala event will occur in the .hundreds of Italian homes in this city. SEES IN RIVER MEANS OF POWER [Continued front First Pago.] was unquestionably the best possible location: it was and is, as was ex plained. the 'neck of the bottle,' where railroad traffic coming from the west, destined for the Atlantic coast centered. It is in the heart and center of the state that has and is now producing and manufacturing, over 30 per cent of all our war ma terials so far purchased by the gov ernment. It is the one center from which all the large Atlantic ports, such as New York. Philadelphia. Baltimore, Newport News and even Boston are easily accessible. To tome At Ith Pence "Naturally, it was a source of great personal satisfaction to have these three depots located in the district I have the honor to represent in Congress; my only regret was that we could not convince the govern ment that the contracts for the erec tion of the depots should be placed in the hands of our local contractors, in reference to which we had numer ous conferences and who we felt then and feel now would have been able to construct these depots to the en tire satisfaction of the government. As to the possibility of making the Susquehanna navigable, it is my con tention that this is not only possi ble. but entirely feasible and should bo done, especially now as the gov ernment itself has such extensive In terests located on the river's banks. Of course no one will contend that this project should be urged at this time, for we all feel the Imperative necessity of a vigorous proaecutlon of the war to a conclusive peace; but. when peace has been establish ed, then the Susquehanna should be declared by Congress a navigable stream and the government should assume full jurisdiction and make of it a public natural water highway. I.cngth and Drainage The Susquehanna river is over 400 miles long. It drains a water shed of nearly 25.000 square miles. Rising in the state of New Y'ork. in the Cats kill Mountains, it flows through New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, into the Chesapeake Bay, then on through the Virginia Capes into the Atlantic Ocean. It courses through the great Anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania and through some of the richest farming lands in the Uni ted States, Including the counties of Dauphin. Cumberland. Lancaster and York. It is a copious and powerful stream. Early Hintory "In the early days, the eiver was an all-important public water high way. In those days and. for many, many years, millions of feet of lum ber was rafted down the Susquehanna to Williamsport, Middletown and many other points, where immense saw mills and planing mills were erected and the finished products dis tributed over a wide expanse of ter ritory. The Susquehanna river has carried thousands upon thousands of tons of coal and. before the construc tion of the railroads, commerce on the river had tremenduous propor tions. We find in the early days, even tributary streams were recog nized as navigable. In 1771, an Act was passed declaring the Conestoga, a stream running from Lancaster to the Susquehanna, a "public highway" and providing that all obstructions to his Majesty's subjects and their com merce up and down .the Conestoga river'" shall be held to be common nuisances." "Later. t*ie government appropriat ed $45,000 for the improvement of navigation on the North 'Branch of the Susquehanna from a point just above Wilkes-Barre to the New Y'ork state line. Later still, other appro priations were made for the dredging and improvements from the Maryland state line to the Chesapeake Bay, amounting in all to $316,000. "However, with the coming of the railroads which provided more rapid transportation the commerce on the river gradually declined until it was practically abandoned. Now, how ever, with the present high freight rates and the congested condition of the railroad traffic, it seems that the old river can be made to serve a most useful purpose. I'resent Conditions "At the present time, there are located on its banks, large numbers of thriving cities and towns extending from the Catskill mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Great and import ant industrial establishments, steel and iron mills almost without num ber; veritable hives of industry, giv ing employment to thousands upon thousands of wage earners, line its banks, all awaiting the benefit of water transportation. Governmental Appropriations "In the past, the government has been eStremely liberal In Its appro priations for the improvement of other navigable streams, many of which do not and never will .carry the traffic or tonnage that wIU be carried by the Susquehanna, If it is made navigable, but the government ' not given much consideration to the Susquehanna; why this neglect? "I shall not mention the number of small streams on which the gov ernment has expended many millions of dollars which carry a very atnall * FRIDAY EVENING, ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS WAR SPEAKERS SPUR RAIL MEN Only Two Kinds Are Worth While, Soldier's and Workingman's | Altooiut, Sept. 20.—Pennsylvania ; railroad employes are being spurred I forward to work for the war. in line with a policy mapped out by the War Industries Board, which is em phasizing the need of constant work to keep the wheels turning on the railroads of the country. Several thousand Pennsylvania railroad shopmen here heard a stirring ad dress by Captain J. C. Curran, the Irishman in the Rritish navy, and once a captive of the Germans, now | in America to help speed this na j lion's workmen. "Two kinds of men arc wanted ■in America to-day— the workers and the fighters, and if you can't fight. , get to work. If you can't work, then : fight. If you can't do either, you'd I better go hang yourself." is what i the Irishman said at South Altoona j foundries and the machine shop same rooms, j "There are two uniforms that count." he shouted. "The kind you I see the soldiers and sailors wear j ing and the garments of the work ! insman. You must do your work weli so that munitions, ship-plates i and mountains of coal can be mov ed over the railways. The Penn i sylvania railroad carries gut the greater part of the shipping from the Pittsburgh industrial district -to the seaboard and it is a great cog ; in the war machine. "I'm no prohibition speaker." an ■ nounced the captain, in prefacing his ! remarks, "and I believe it is all right for a man to take a drink on a warm day, if he is tall. Rut I want to I tell you men frankly. I have no re spect for the man who gets so in- I fernally drunk on payday that he can't work the next day or the fol lowing week. Such a fellow is no patriot and is worse than a slacker." "BI.ACK CATS" Quarantined Gettysburg, Sept. 30. Virtually every member of the famous Black I Cat baseball team has been placed under quarantine, it was announced here to-day. The disease is not ser , ious but it was not named in the an nouncement. Because of this situation it ha,s | been announced that the baseball game to be staged here to-morrow af ! ternoon between the Kiwanis Club team. oT Harrisburg. and the Black Cats, who are composed of men from the Cainp Colt Tank Corps, will be cancelled. 10,000 BURGARS SENT TO THE REAR [Continued from First Page.] ahead. Reports of the fighting i indicate the Bulgarians have hur- Iricd up reinforcements without, j ! however, being able to stem the tide. High hills have been car ried by the Allies, who have j reached the Cerna river, at a point about fifteen miles distant jfrom the city of Prilep, which ! seems to be the present objective I in the fighting. In Macedonia, the allied suc cess east of Monastir has been followed by an attack in the Lake Doiran front by the British and Greek armies. A foothold on the enemy's first position was gained and the fighting still is j going on. This attack seems to j be a move in the direction of the i Yardar valley, which has been considered the most feasible avenue into Serbia from the 1 south. tonnage, but it may be interesting to know that on the lower Missis sippi, the government has expended for a distance of one thousand miles, over 1100,000 per mile and, in addi tion, annually expends from three to live millions of dollars to maintain its navigability. On the Ohio, for a distance of 200 miles, an average of $86,000 per mile has been expended and. on some of the smaller streams, the expenditure has been out of all proportion to the tonnage carried . the big sandy river in Kentucky is perhaps the most notable example, it is estimated that the government has spent $350 for every ton of traffic carried on the river per annum. So, it would seem, in the light of pre vious legislation, the Susquehanna should receive favorable considera tion by the government. Possibilities of Power Production "The Susquehanna Is not only a navigable stream, but It presents great possibilities for water power. At a point near Harrisburg. the river is approximately 600 feet above the sea level. With the constantly in creasing population and the multi plicity of manufacturing and indus trial establishments, power plants located on the river would find ready sale for power and would, unques tionably, produce a revenue sufficient to pay a satisfactory rate of inter est on the actual expenditures incur red by the government. The dams which it would seem should be lo cated on the river need only be sup plied with proper locks for the pas sage of vessels which would require a comparatively small additional ex penditure to make the river navi gable. Action By Congreos Essential "However, it must be remembered that any stream that is navigabte wholly and only within the confines of one state remains under the Juris diction of that state. To bring any stream under the Jurisdiction of the Federal government. Congress must declare that stream navigable from an Intervstate viewpoint. Namely navigable in two or more states. "It so happens that on March 8, 1904, the then Secretary of War ruled that the Susquehanna was not a navl gahle stream on the presumption that it was only navigable wlttiln the state of Maryland. This, however, was an error and Is not the fact, and. In an opinion given by Judge Advocate General Crowder to Secre tary of War Garrison dated June 8, 1914. he declared that the ruling of the Secretary of War in 1904 was an error. At present the ruling of the Secretary of War made in 1904 stands • "Therefore, a declaration by Con gress, declaring the Susquehanna navigable Is the first step necessary to bring about this much desired re sult."

I,arge orders are not filled to two thirds their demands as formerly, but all the coal which arrives is dis tributed to householders in two and three tons, and some times one-ton lots, in order to tide them over early winter months, y When winter sets in, it is hoped more coal will have arrived to fill all the bins to at least two-thirds their require ments. To Care For Small Consumer For the consolation of the small householder whose order has not been touched by the dealer, it was said at the Central Coal Exchange ( that their orders will recetve first , attention hereafter, and they will | receive at least a small amount of coal to protect them from suffering when winter's first cold spell arrives. Many of the dealers will not take I orders, as their books are filled al ready far beyond their capacity to fill them at the present time. These consumers can have their orders placed through the coal exchange at 9 North Second street. The exchange will place the order with the dealer located nearest to the neighborhood of the consumer. As soon as possi ble. then, the order will receive at tention. Mr. Hickok has announced his intention to do all in his power ■ to see that the small consumer does [ not suffer.

He, therefore, is! trying, by trickery and underhanded j methods of which he is past master, to induce in the ntinds of the Ger man people doubts of their invinci bility.

"Aviators constantly are distribut ing increasing numbers of leaflets and pamphlets. Letters Written by] German prisoners are falsified in the) most outrageous way.
