WAR PLANTS TO
BE COMBED FOR
ARMY SLACKERS
Shipyards Probe Leads to
Sweeping Rule; All Civil
ian Employes Included
Washington, Sept. 21.—The war
plants of the country are to he
combed for slackers, Charles Piez,
vice-president and general manager
of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, told the Senate Commerce Com
mittee yesterday.
Mr. Piez blamed the officials at
Hog Island as much as the workmen
for making the shipyard a "slackers'
haven," and intimated that there
may be a reorganization there soon.
He did not go into any details.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
is promulgating new regulations, Mr.
Piez said, that will call for a thor
ough combing of war industries for
slackers, and those who have ob
tained employment at Hog Island
and other munition plants in order
to escape the draft and those who,
having obtained employment there,
do not accomplish a full day's work,
will be weeded out.
The military slackers will be
reached by an examination of their
claims to exemption or deferred
classification other than their em
ployment in essential work.
The industrial slackers will bo
reached by a regulation providing
that any man employed in war work
and having obtained deferred classi
fication on that ground, shall lose his
exemption if he absents himself
from his work more than three days
a month without a sufficient rea
son.
Mr. Piez disclosed the fact that
this regulation has been prepared in
discussing reported slackerisrrt at
Hog Island. Reports had come to
committee members that of the 60.-
000 exempted workmen there thou
sands had sought refuge in the ship
yard from the selective draft.
It was disclosed at the hearing
that pugilists, barbers, actors, ball
players and others engaged in non
essential tasks have flocked to the
Hog Island yard and obtained such
employment as their entire lack of
knowledge of shipbuilding would
permit them to perform. But some
of them, . the committee was told,
did not labor honestly at the tasks
assigned to them, but devoted most
of theis time to obtaining "soft
jobs" for their friends and asso
ciates. It is to these that the new
Crowder order regarding absences
from work will apply particularly.
Philadelphia, Sept. 21. —Protests
against the employment of ballplay
ers, pugilists and actors in "easy
jobs," as alleged by the skilled me
chanics, took definite form yester
day when 2,000 men walked out at
Cramps' shipyard. These mechanics
were largely boilermakers, riveters,
reamers and allied artisans. The
strikers said they had taken this
means to accept Rear Admiral
Bowles' plan of having the patriotic
workers "drive out the slackers" and
that there was no other grievance
existing.
Officials at Cramps said they ex
pected to have the trouble adjusted
and that the whole affair savored of
"a rainy dya strike."
MINISTER POOLE
NOT ARRESTED BY
THE BOLSHEVIKS
Norwegian Foreign Office
Gives State Department
Word of Consul
Washington, Sept. 21. —The Nor
wegian Foreign Office advised the
State Department to-day that Amer
ican Consul General Poole, at Mos
cow, had not been arrested by the
Bolsheviki, as recently reported, and
that direct communication had been
held with Moscow as late as Septem
ber 18.
Norway and Sweden were asked
two weeks ago to ascertain the sit
uation of the consul general. Officials
•were much exercised over the report
that Mr. Poole had been Imprisoned
by the Bolsheviki after the qther
Americans had left Moscow for
Sweden.
Mr. Poole elected to remain in
Moscow despite personal danger in
order to be of assistance to his Brit
ish and French colleagues, detained
and menaced by the Bolsheviki. No
direct word has come from him for
several weeks.
New Troops Placed
Against Americans
With the American Army lit Al
sace, Sept. 21.—There are Indications
that the enemy has placed new
troops in the line in Alsace opposite
the Americans. Some portions of the
front, however, apparently are not
held by these new men.
An American patrol penetrated the
enemy wire Thursday and walked
through the town of Ammerzwciler,
which was found to be deserted.
Several prisoners from the 87th
German division were captured last
night by an American patrol west
of Vandieres. This division had been
in the line in this sector only a few
days. It is one of the German crack
divisions, and it was marched into
this area from the quiet sector west
of Rheims where it had been rest
ing.
Plant Guns in Cemetery
In a cemetery near Limey, just
within the German lines previous
to the attack of September 12, Amer
ican troops haVe discovered German
machine gun nests beneath the con
crete pedestal of a large cross. The
Germans had dug in along the cen
er of the foundation and constructed
machine gun positions at three places
facing toward the French lines. The
cemetery is on a hill commanding a
view of the country of the south,
and the Germans assumed that if
an attack were made the cemetery
' would not be subjected to artillery
Are.
When the Franco-American of
fensive started the Germans held
the machine gun nests in the ceme
tery as long as possible, but were
compelled to retreat in haste before
they could use the guns. So hur
ried was the enemy retirement that
several machine guns were found In
the cemetery by the Americans. The
cemetery was not hit by shells and
the cross still stands.

of each soldier from the Thirteenth
ward who is killed in France. The
first tree will bear a plate inscribed
with the name of Fred C, Jones, who

Because of the many important de
tails which are to be completed the
Americanization classes in the schools
as planned by John II Bickley, sup
ervisor of special activities, will start
late in October instead of October 1,
as had been planned. A few days

Americanization committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. Further ar
rangements were made at the time for
the work which is to be done during
the srii-.son. Mr. Bickley reported
through Dr. Downes that much of the
preliminary work including the cen
sus of children is progressing rapid
ly. It was found that 16 per cent, of
the schoolchildren in the city come
from homes in which a language
other than English, is spoken.

Steelton New Items
RED CROSS CALLS
FOR BELGIAN AID
With Winter Coining on, the
Little Country's Danger
Is Greater Than Ever
Noting the intense need for Bel
gian relief, the Steelton chapter of
the Red Cross, issued a statement last
evening, asking for three tons of |
clothing, as the borough's allotment.
The campaign will be conducted
next week, September 23 to 30, when
Steelton residents are asked to take
their old clothes to the Red Cross
rooms, in Harrisburg street.
All kinds of, garments are needed.
There is no limitation as to size or
sex, the only requirement being that
the articles submitted, be durable.
No (limsy materials, such as ball
dresses or gowns, stiff hats, or high
heeled slippers. Neither should any
articles containing rubber, be sent.
Rubber heels oil shoes may be re
moved.
The statement recalls the fact that
the winter coining, will undoubtedly
be the hardest for the Belgian people,
since the Germans who now rule the
country, are smarting under a num
ber of defeats, which undoubtedly
will not make the lot of the Belgians
easier.
The statement concludes with a de
scription of the clothes desired,
which includes practically all kinds
of apparel.
Liberty Loan Plans

be used in gathering the pledges. It
is proposed to district the borough,
assigning a team to each district and
offering prizes to the most success
ful team.

Harrisburg Captain
of Torpedoed Liner
Praised For Bravery
Captain Douglass E. Dismukes,
whose home is at 1015 North Front
street, has been praised further for
the magnificent record made by
himself, crew and passengers, most
ly wounded' soldiers, for their con
duct and discipline while getting the
big army transport, Mount Vernon,
back to a French port after it was
torpedoed by a German submarine
about 200 miles off shore, Septem
ber 6.
Dr. Carl Holiday, dean of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences in Toledo
University, who was returning from
France on the ship, said that the
praise given Captain Dismukes by
Secretary of War Baker was not full
enough.
I "No praise can be extravagant for
the men who took that ship back to
port," said Dr. Holliduy. "The tor
pedo struck while we were all at
breakfast, but there was no panic
whatever. Everybody knew instantly
that the ship had been struck, but
those men marched out in tiles, sing
ing marching songs they hud learned
at the front.
"When we reached our boat sta-
I tions we saw the sailors coming up.
Some had been injured by the explo
sion, which was so violent that it
broke glasses on the table in the din
ing saloon. But when those sailors
were told by their officers that there
were a chance to save the ship every
man, even the injured, went back
below to work. The engines did not
stop and the men did not leave their
posts until the ship was safe in port.
"Bucket brigades were organized
to bail out the water as it poured in
at the hole made by the torpedo, adn
as the men worked they sang to the
accompaniment of a piano, played
by a negro, who kept the music go
ing hour after hour. Injured men
insisted upon doing their part, and
wounded soldiers who were coming
back maintained that their wounds
were not serious enough to prevent
them front giving the sailors a hand.
It was a magnificent exhibition of
American discipline and valor."
CITY HAS CHANCE
TO NAME TANK
[Continued from First I'ngc.]
The old store through the kindness
of Dives, Ponteroy and Stewart has
been very patriotically decorated
with flags of all nations fighting the
battles of democracy.
One feature of the headquarters
is the display of posters which are
to be used in the Fourth Loan cam
paign. One of each of the new post
ers has been received, and it will pay
Harrisburg people to go into head
quarters and see them.
"Come On"
The most striking poster of the
lot shows an American soldier in
fighting position, standing over the
fallen body of a Hun. "Come on!"
he shouts to the Huns before him.
The Harrisburg district next Wed
nesday sends a big truck to Phila
delphia to bring home the posters
which will be used in his district.
In the meantime it is urged that
throughout the district all previous
loan posters and placards be taken
down.
Not only can the district name
tanks, as told above, but ten of the
big freigh'.cis being built by the
government may be named by the
Federal reserve district of which
Harrisburg is a part. Not only will
the city make an effort to name a
tank, but it will try to have a ship
named for some section of this loun
district.
What promises to attract
sands of peisons throughout the dis
trict is the coming within a short
time of the big war exhibit tram,
containing le'.ics from the European
battlefields. This will be instructive,
and will give an insight 'into the
despicable character of the enemy
America is lighting.
During the campaign which starts
September 28 war planes from vari
ous seacoast buses will fly over Hai
risburg and the surrounding terri
tory.
The district as constituted In the
three campaigns which have been
finished is changed. Cumberland
county is no longer a part of what
was known as the Harrisburg dis
trict. The lull or now consists of Har
risburg city. Dauphin, Perry and Ju
niata counties. The exact quota Cor
the district has not been learned.
