Her action followed a protest by the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs against the sale of the German toys. One member sug ' gested a "Boston Tea Party" to throw offending goods overboard from the ship which brought them across the Atlantic. The federation named a committee to investigate the importation, with a possibility of a direct appeal to President Wilson. Part ci the German articles which had oeen held at Rotterdam owing to war conditions, were abandoned to customs officials yesterday by Butler Brothers, an importing firm, which bought and paid for them in the spring of 1914 In a statement ex plaining their refusul to accept the shipnymt the importers asserted they had eliminated the goods from their catalog long ago and accepted the loss. Declaring that American man ufacturers had taken the Germans' place in the toy and china market, they declined to assist "German propaganda designed to introduce its product into America." Butler Brothers feel that the American children should have American-made toys. They are there fore willing to accept any loss which may be occasioned by their refusal of this shipment, because they feel it will help to keep German-made goods out of this market. Miss Marbury's statement, which it was said would receive wide cir ' culation through branches of the committee throughout the country, declared that "German militarism is but the tool of German economic world domination" and the only way "to retaliate for German sav agery'* is for the women of America to refuse to have anything to do with the products of the Teuton em pire. ROOSEVELT IS 60 YEARS OLD Oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct. 28.—Colo nel Theodore Roosevelt was 60 years old yesterday. He spent the dhy quiet ly at Sagamore Hill. With him were his three children who are in this country. They are Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mrs. Richard Derby and Captain Archlhald, who was wound ed on the Toul front and invalided home. Three grandchildren also as sisted id celebrating. They are a son and daughter of Mrs. Darby, and Archie, Jr., who is only eight months old. * " During the last year the Colonel lost his youngest son, Lieutenant Quentin. who was killed while bat tling a German airplane. His oldest son. Theodore, Jr., recently made lieutenant colonel, has also in the past year been wounded in battle, re turning only Saturday to the firing line. His fourth son, Captain Kermit is also with General Pershing's forces in France. Play Safe — • Stick to KING OSCAR CIGARS because the quality is as good as ever it was.

Olympia, National and Cambria Club arenaa have offered their buildings for a show. Henderson Gilbert is chairman of the "stents" committee here, and he should have immediate response from all athletes and others who can help free, of course. Lafayette, for ex ample, has pledged her entire receipts of two footbail games.

It is hoped that the Harrisburg committee will in a few days have a line on what we may expect here. Airships would make a great hit In Harrisburg. Nearly all cities are ar ranging for a cloud-bUFting tourna ment and one would surely be appre ciated here. Whatever is staged should bring out a huge and cheer ful crowd, for the cause is worthy and many thousands of Americans are sacrificing their personal affairs to help Uncle Sam and the boys who are risking life for us, at home. I ) CARLISLE WINS OVER ACADEMY Soldier Students Too Classy For Harrisburg Boys, Who Lose Out, 27 to 0 Coach Rudisil made a very fair showing on Saturday with the Acad ! emy football talent against the Dick inson College team which had all advantage, the decision being 27-0. At his wit's end to engage somebody the opportunity came to tackle the student-soldiers of old Bellaire and Rudisil chaperoned his lads into the lion's den. Carlisle had it on the Academy in all-around class, and her weight alone was enough Jo win. Dickinson had not been cut in a regular garnet until Saturday but the material was there and her men seemed to be in prime shape. For one quarter it was 50-50, but Carlisle was only measuring up the visitors, and thereafter it was all one way. Pipa and Young, particularly, shone in running tactics ami the Academy back field gave a good account of itself. Considering the inequality in class. Academy need not be ashamed of its performance.

It came when the Republicans led by ex-Speaker Cannon, forced the adoptin of the big six million-dol lar military deficiency bill while the Democrats were endeavoring to force an adjournment to prevent the hu miliation of HeHin, of Alabama, who had been successful contrary to the House rules in having the President's partisan appeal placed in the record before the statement was issued. For the sake of partisan politics, Heflin and his Democratic associates were willing to sacrifice the impor j tant war measure. If the House would combine upon putting through the war measure, Mr. Cannon declared, he himself would ask that the President's pro nouncement be placed in the record as of the present date. The speech of Mr. Cannon was one of the most stirring of the war Con gress, when the ex-Speaker urged upon the members of the House the necessity of supporting the men in the trenches with true patriotism, and without partisanship. He re -1 minded the House that while there . was no quorum present, because many m%mbers hud departed to their homes under the gentleman's agreement reached between the leaders, it wtts of the utmost impor tance to take up immediately the conference report on the military deficiency bill, which will provide the appropriations for the equip ment and sustenance of the Army j fighting in France. Consideration of 1 this measure, he told the House, was 1 being stopped by Representative I Heflin's threat to make a point of I no quorum. Later when the conference report j was adopted the President's state i ment was incorporated in the min utes of the day in the record. A Sign of Weakness Republicans and many Democrats ; believe the President's appeal to be a serious blunder. He has injected partisanship at a crisis of the war and cannot complain if his chal j lenge is accepted by political oppo- j nents. Leading Democratic newspapers i declare a serious mistake has been made. The St. Louis Globe-Demo j crat says: "The future of America depends upon our wise application i of the lessons df the war to the life ! and the pursuits of peace; we can : not agree with the President that a j Democratic majority is essential to j our solidarity for war, and we dis- I tinctly disagree with him in the as sumption that it is necessary for the great settlement that must come aft crwards. The tendency of President Wilson's act will be to disrupt the i unity of spirit that is our strength ; and pride, for no Republican can fail ! to resent its implications." The Cincinnati Commercial-Tri- I bune says, "He (the President) de- I scends from the high attitude he has held and distinctly violates the ethics I of the situation when he attempts to 1 capitalize the patriotism of the coun | try in war time for the partisan in- I terests of the party to which he be j longs." Another angle is suggested by the Minneapolis Tribune. It says: "Of one thing the President's ap i peal for a Democratic Congress is ' mighty good evidence and that is that the Democratic managers are genuinely alarmed by the prospect of Republican success in the con gressional elections. We are bound to assume, out of respect for his of fice, that if the situation were not serious from the Democratic stand point, the President would not have taken the position of rank partisan ship which this note exhibits." Democratic eaiftiidates all. over the country, it is believed, will suf fer as a result of the unprecedented Presidential move. A half-hearted campaign immediately takes on high energy and the Republican slogan will be henceforth "Unconditional Surrender!" Secretary of the Treasury Mc- Adoo's letter to R. E. O'Malley, of Kansas City, urging election of ex- Governor Joseph W. Folk to the United States Senate is also giving comfort to Republicans as a further indication of Democratic panic. His declaration in this letter that "the prestige and power of the President and the Influence of America in this war would be irretrievably hurt if the President should be repud(pted at the forthcoming election by the return of a majority, against him in either or both Houses of the Na tional Congress" is cited as further evidence of the partisan scheming of the administration under the lead of the President.

George Cpckill's Steelton High School cripples, all plastered with Red Crosses and wearing flu masks, hobbled down there and, much to Lancaster's amazement, gulped down Stevens Trade School 19-0. Steelton had a line-up which sounded like the Czeko-Slovak's declaration of independence. Captain "Bill" Wues chinksi, a Jugo-Slav, could .not make the trip, as he had celebrated the oc casion with a serious dose of flu. but A.. Sharosky demonstrated what, he could do to, Austria by booting the pigskin half a mile and following it up for a goal. Toward the end of the day this same Sharosky again scored and this time kicked a goal, and backed up by his allies, he led the offensive once more before call of time, giving his team a smashing vic tory, when 1t was supposed that the STATE CHAMBER PRESENTS BRIEF Senate Finance Committee Gets Arguments in Regard to Taxation Legislation Steps have been completed by the special commitjee of the Pennsyyl vania State Chamber of Commerce on national tax legislation to submit the views of the big manufacturers and others of the Keystone State who are its memers to the Senate finance committee.

From end to end they not only gave a tine display oX individual defense, but their team work in repelling attack was a co hesive unit Lieutenant Newcomb, last year's Buckne'l captain, played a wonderful game at. tackle, Gardner at guard, aso distinguished himself. Pete Garlow, who learned football at Carlisle under Glenn Warner some thing like fifteen years ago, played a wonderful defensive game. Time and again he tackled runners on the ends, and also was invariably the first man to reach an opponent after he had broken through the line. Hank O'Day, veteran umpire of the National League, says he is anxious to go to France and call decisions for the American soldiers in their base ball games. O'Day says he has heard j that umpires are in particular de-! rnanf! back of the lines, where basc-| ball is one of the principal forms I of recreation of lighting men who! find competent officials scarce.

In the ot jfensive the Americans have captured [more than 20,000 prisoners. The Americans attacked on a I front of twenty miles from the Ar igonne to the Meuse and the advance ! has made in the face of al most insurmountable difficulties, due particularly to the nature of the ground which is covered with fiills, deep ravines and woods.

Ahead of them lies the Freya position, which has been reached at one point in the region of th Bantheville wood. The advance has ben particularly difficult because the Germans have stubbornly resisted every foot of the way and have used more than thirty three divisions on the twenty-mile front. The enemy continues to giake a formidable effort to hold this front in order to protect his great lateral line of communication run ning through Hlrson, Mezieres, Sedan, Montmedy and Languyon.

F. Royer, Acting Commissioner of Health, urges the school authorities to take every pre caution to guard against additional outbreaks of influenza. While the reports throughout the state do not indicate that any great number of school children have been afflicted with the disease, nevertheless it has been'found that children are pecu liarly susceptible to it. Dr. Royer suggests that local health boards throughout the state make a census of each school district and onjy open such schools where at least two-thirds of the pupils come from homes havitig no one sick from influenza within ten days. Dr. Royer further urges that due consideration be given to the fact that a great majority of the teachers in the public, private and POLITICAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING - - - ■ —- "A COTTON BELT CANDIDATE" Philadelphia 'North American\ Believes Leiby Would Be Easily Handled By Southern Democrats, Who Fix a Low Price For Wheat But Boost Cotton to the Sky Congressman Focht Has Always Stood By the Farmers From the Phila. "North American," October 20. v Opponents of Congressman "Benny" Focht, who would like to see him defeated, are not at all pleased with the selec tion made by the Democratic State Committee's executive committee and they say that Senator Scott Leiby would be little improvement on Focht, as far as representation at Washington ik concerned. Senator Leiby is one of the most faithful of the Palmer-* McCormick "me too" Democrats. He is belled, so that the Palmer-McCormick state committee and Secretary Warren VanDyke tan locate him at any time. If he were to go to Washington he would likely be every bit as easily handled as though he were from the cotton belt, but wouldn't be able to get nearly so much for his constituency as the cotton belt statesmen. . , As a State Senator, Leiby's chief claims to distinction lay in the fact that he voted dry when occasion arose to vote wet or dry and that he was one the very few McCorraick-Palmer Democrats in the Senate. He began his campaign against Focht a couple of weeks ago by declaring that Focht had no patriotic record. To this Focht retorted that Leiby seems to have no military medals, and that the Army is in need of men such as Leiby asserts he is. Focht suggested that Leiby enlist. Leiby had no reply to make, at least not in the paid advertisements. Leiby lives in Marysville and makes his living in Harris burg, where he practices law. He will probably serve in the Legislature during the coming session instead of going to Congress. _ ■ - ■■ ■ 9 the third touchdown. Fetrow missed the goal.

He asks that at leust a full of time be given these • loyal helpers to rest and recuperate before resuming their school duties. Dr. Royer believes that it would be a great mistake, where the schools have been closed, to open them hurriedly without knowing that children coming to school come from homes free from infection, at least a week or ten days. Also it is feared that thousands of teachers, who have been acting as volunteer nurses may for a short time be carriers of the disease. Children have not sickened ac cording to reports from a number of authorities, in the same proportion as adults, and yet in one state insti tution with ttvo hundred children of school age 75 sickened and two have died. Dr. Royer is anxious to avoid danger to children by delay fng the opening of schools at least a week after new cases develop. It is not fully appreciated by the pub lic nor is it fully appreciated by the school authorities that thousands of parents have been keeping their children on their own premises and away from any known source of danger during the time drastic re strictions have been imposed on account of the influenza epidemic.
