4 PRESIDENT ACCUSED OF EMPLOYING WAR FOR PARTISAN USE Republican Senators Object to Administration in Politics; • Democrats Uphold "Stand by the President" Slogan Washington, Oct. 25.—That Presi dent Wilson and other Democratic leaders are trying to capitalize the war as an asset to the Democratic party In the present campaigns was charged by Republicans In the Sen ate yesterday during an extended political debate. Republican contentions that the third clause In President Wilson's fourteen peace terms, providing for the removal of economic barriers, is u free trade plank, furnished the vehicle for the discussion. Senator Thomus, of Colorado, Democrat, in sisted that the President merely meant there shotild be no prohibi tive or irritating tariffs. Senator Watson, of Indiana, and other Re publicans, declared the Republican party objects to fixing by peace treaty or any other treaty the do mestic policy of the United States. Senator Thomas referred to pro tests by Chairman Hays, of the Re publican national committee, and others against contentions made by Democratic leaders that a Republi can victory would be interpreted by the Kaiser and our enemies abroad as a repudiation of President Wilson. Asked by Senator McCumber of North Dakota, Republican, if the last senatorial election in Wisconsin, when Senator Lenroot, a Republican, was elected, had any influence, one way or the other on German peo ple. Senator Thomas said he did not think so, but added there is a vast difference between a solitary con test and a general election. Republican Speeches Read Mr. Thomas read extensive ab stracts from speeches made by Colo nel Roosevelt, former President Har rison and Senator Lodge, in 1898, in which they urged the reelection of a Republican Congress on the ground that not to do so would give cheer and comfort to Spain and would in effect be a repudiation of President McKinley's conduct of the war. "If that was true in 1898, it is true in 1918," declared Senator Thomas. "It is more eminently true because the war is not over and because a comparison between the wars makes the other one insignificant." Senator Smith, of Michigan, Re publican. referred to conditions pre ceding the Spanish War and de clared that President Cleveland had refused to permit this country to de clare war on Spain. "Cleveland was greatly admired by the Republicans," said Senator Thomas. "He was a very good man, but in my opinion he'll go down in history as the arch destroyer of the Democratic party." Senator King, of Utah, Democrat, said President McKinley after his election failed to interfere,, and that e'ighty-seven Republicans organized in the House and threatened to act Jointly with the Democrats favoring war with Spain unless the President should change his attitude. That, he added, was after the Maine had been -sunk. An Unfair Argument Senator Smith declared the Utah Senator was partly wrong in his facts, adding there never was any question about going to war after the Maine was destroyed. Senator Williams, f Mississippi, Democrat, also charged that '"stand by the President" was the Republi can slogan in 1898, of which every advantage was taken. The argument was unfair then, and is unfair po litically now, Senator Williams said. Senator Smith said that President Wilson has earned the gratitude of the American people, but that he is hot entitled to dictate to the Michi gan electorate who should be elected senator. Senator Williams pointed out that the President ha,s not con ffi f r The New Store of MM WM. STROUSE I "TC- M - 1 4 LEADER SINCE 1894 Fall Clothes 4Pf' Time's Here /\V llfS/K.

STROUSE FRIDAY EVENING, fined his efforts to Republican states and candidates, but went into Geor gia and Mississippi, where, he said. Democratic candidates were not re garded as desirable and opposed their nomination. In conclusion, Senator Thomas said the Republican organization is seeking support for candidates who have been severely attacked for their course regarding the war. He said Senator Norris, the Republican can didate in Nebrnska, is an honest and upright citizen. "But the senator's' record for paci fism," Mr. Thomas said, "is notor ious. If I remember correctly he made a speech here placing the dol lar mark on the American flag. The man running against him has no. such blemish on his record." In Kansas, Senator Thomas said,, Governor Capper, the Republican candidate for senator, is 'notorious for his pacifism," while Representa tive Roberts, the Republican candi date for senator in Nevada, the sen ator continued, voted against war with Germany. "If pacifism is the test, why interv fere in Michigan'.'" Senator Smith asked. Senator Williams in reply said the speech in this Senate which the dol lar mark was placed on the Amer ican flag was 'disgraceful" and at least had not been made by Henry Ford, the Democratic candidate for senator in Michigan. While denying that he had any intention of saying anything against Mr. Ford or Truman H. Newb arry, the Republican senatorial candidate in Michigan, Senator Smith said the Democratic party was guilty of klep tomania when it taok a man out of "the neutral zone" and him its exclusive candidate. Senator Williams charged that Newberry - spent "a whole lot of money" in his campaign. Senator Smith denied this, saying Newberry in his affidavit filed with the secre tary of the Senate had declared he had not spent a dollar. "Well, somebody spent it for him," replied the Mississippi Senator. Senator Smith asked how much Colonel E. M. House, of New York, and Thomas D. Jones, of Illinois, contributed to the last Democratic campaign fund. When Senator Williams concluded the debate ended and a vote was taken on the military deficiency bill, after which the Senate adjourned until Monday. Chairman Fess, of the Republican Congressional campaign committee, in a statemeilt to-day attacked Presi dent Wilson's letter, made public yesterday, asking for the election of Democratic senators from New Jer sey, as 'subject of just criticism by voters who have resented the capi talization of the war for party pur poses." Administration For Food Secretary Daniels in a public statement tO'day urging Michigan voters to support the candidacy of Henry Ford for the United States Senate declared naval officers of the United States and foreign countries have pronounced the Eagle boats produced at the Ford plant in De troit as "next to the destroyer, the best weapon to exterminate the sub marine." By next summer, Mr. Daniels said, the government expects to have a hundred or more of these new craft in the water. In referring to Mr. Ford as a sena torial candidate the Secretary's state ment says: "In war lie knows liow to produce weapons to win peace and in the problem to be settled after the war his practical judgment as senator would be of the highest value." A letter from Secretary Daniels MONDAY TO OPEN RED CROSS DRIVE FOR WAR LINEN Thousands of Towels and Sheets Needed For Over seas Hospitals The Red Cross "Linen Shower," calling for linens to be sent over seas to hospitals, announced several weeks ago as postponed indefinitely because of the influenza epidemic, will open Monday morning. It was announced to-day by Red Cross of ficials. Mrs. C. W. Burtnett, appoint ed as chairman of the campaign, is now heading the office work of the city emergency hospital.

Appealing to women of the city for their co-operation in the drive, Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, chairman of the I-larrisburg Chapter, American Red Cross, said: "This appeal coming from the hospitals in France and represent ing such an urgent need cannot but touch our hearts, and I trust the community will respond in having each household represented in this 'shower.' The gifts range from a handkerchief to a sheet and are, therefore, within the reach of us all." Germans to Release ■ Belgians Held Prisoners By Associated Press Washington, Oct. 25. —Release of all Belgian political prisoners held in Belgium or in Germany except where a military menace would re sult, has been promised by General Von Falkhausen, German military governor of occupied Belgian terri tory. This became known here to day in connection with news that Burgomaster Max, of Brussels, had been set free.

TELEGRAPH Want Among City's Poor Eliminated by Workers of the Associated Aids Harrlsburg was appalled by the destitution disclosed when the influ enza epidemic held full sway, but did it reflect for a moment on how the disaster was being checked and as suaged by the Associated Aids So ciety, an organization comparatively little known but one of most compre hensive and valuable activity? There is a call now for personal contributions to make up for the heavy expenses entailed in this work and Harrlsburgers should respond plentifully for this organization lifts all responsibility from the citizen and plays the systematic good Sa marltnn in a manner that no one person or smull group of persons could with such efficiency. The Associated Aids has been es tablished only ten years. The secre tary is John H. McCandless; his as sistant, Miss Qlenn Oottschall who with three woman assistants make up the working staff, and the officers are: President. Donald McCormlck; vice-presidents. Mi's. George Kunkel, Edwin S. Herman; secretary, Mrs. Mercer B. Tate; treasurer, Frank J. Brady. Board of directors: Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, Mrs. Francis J. Hall, Mrs. William Henderson, Miss Mary C. Hlester, Morris 1 E. Jacobson, Paul Johnston, David Kaufman, Vance C. McCormlck, Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted, Dr. Clarence R. Phillips, Miss Mary E. Reliy, Stanley G. Jean. The Associated Aids is supported wholly by personal subscriptions and the point should be emphasizzed that any one wishing to give something to alleviate suffering in this city, and there is plenty of it, should con tribute through this honest, discrim inating organization which sees that the money reaches the right place at the right time.

They could not make way with the donations but meanwhile others, worse off, were suffering. This sort of thing the As sociated Aids adjusts. Furthermore, it aims fo find families too proud or too timid to ask for aid. Broud Scope of Work The variety of charity scattered by this Harrlsburg Is amaz ing. Hardly a week, passes but that it does not send one of its workers to Philadelphia with a crippled child, to be treated there. From the Visit ing Nurses Association it calls out volunteers who respond Immediately to emergencies such as Just occurred. The county physicians, who are of course paid by the county, are at all times . ill touch with headquarters, by this means many are treated free. One big feature of the work Is plac ing of orphans, of neglected and feeble-minded in homes. And as for transients, this establishment is a life saver to the wanderer and un fortunate. Some nights the rooms en tertain wayfarers who having tuber culosis are refused at hotels. In tending to sleep the night in a hay mow, they find their way to these comfortable quarters. Like the Red Cross, the Associated Aids had to immediately abandon Its regular duties when the flu arriv ed and one of the first calls was from a woman whose two little girls died almost at the same moment at the hospital. Not a bit of decent clothing did they have for burial garments, and Miss Gottschtll quick ly supplied-this mint by purchasing some. In another case both parents died leaving three children whose care is now taken up by the Asso ciated. A third instance found the father dead and the mother stricken with tuberculosis, three children homeless. The latter were provided for and the mother sent to Mt. Alto. It is not generally known that the Associated Aids looks after equip ping all Mt. Alto patients sent up by the etate. The Antl-Tuberculosls Society supplies the fundi but Asso ciation workers do the buying. One means of income is the receipts from Red Cross Christmas seals which will be out shortly, and all should patron lzze these tor a big salo means help for the tubercular patient. The Har rlsburg Benevolent Association has an understanding with the Aids that it may draw, checks on it in emergency. But the bulk of the money spent Is from personal con tribution, and the amount of this jsed the last twelve months totaled $15,260.83. As said before, the activities of the organization are myriad. Many In-' sane persons, locked up in rooms, and sadly mistreated are saved and sent to sanltoriums. The Police De partment turns over homeless per sons to get a good bed and break fast, men, women and children are assured of sleeping comforts. For the Insane persons commissioners are appointed by this society's Influence, FOr the children placed In homes, cripples, mentally deficient, deserted, neglected, board must be paid and this expense U .Is heavily. T)ie systematic and comprehensive labors of the Associated Aids has done one big thing for the city, elim inated begging, and to-day Miss Oottschall said It would be a favor to them If any one encountered by a beggar would telephone the fact and that an investigation would Immedi ately follow. The beggar Is almost a stranger In Harrlsburg due to the Associated crusade. | Speaking,of conditions in the city it would appear that a bulk of the j poverty is located in alleys of the ! northern section of town, although Slbletown furnishes its share. Pov erty Is found most frequently where the mother is a widow, or has been deserted by her husband or where drink rpalftes misery. Many fathers squander their whole week's salary on booze and In these homes the wretchedness Is beyond description. No formula fits the general activi ties of this association. Tact must be used in visiting and the worker must often spend long hours before even approaching the subject of aid. Through co-operation with the Inter national "organization Harrlsburg is able to do much good In many ways, recently* finding a husband who had deserted his wife and little girl as they lay in the hospital here.
