CAMPS' RETURNS
LACK RESULTS
OF VOTES TAKEN
Commissioners Get Few Bal
lots, With Heavy Ex
pense Accounts
A few of the returns filed at the
department of the secretary of the
commonwealth by commissioners ap
pointed by the Governor to take the
votes of Pennsylvanians in military
or naval service do not contain any
1 statements of the candidates for
whom the men voted. The names
of the men voting are given, but
no statement of results.
In one instance a commissioner
reported fifty-nine soldiers voting
and stated that their names had been
sent to the twenty-nine counties
whence they hailed, but that there
was no record of the way they voted.
In another return names of thirty
of thirty-two men who voted were
filed here without any vote. Offi
cials here took statements from the
commissioners regarding the situa
tion and are hoping that the returns
sent to counties may be found to con
tain some figures.
Eighty-seven out of 126 commis
sioners have tiled returns and ex
pense accounts at 10 cents a mile.
In one or two Instances It is calcu
lated that the votes cost the state of
Pennsylvania $lO apiece, while In
the Salt Lake case, wherein the com
missioner found all but two men
gone when he arrived, the state will,
pay more for affording means to
vote. In all. men were sent to 109
places, Camps Lee, Meade and other
big stations having more than one
commissioner. The Camp Lee com
missioners brought back the largest
vote, about 3,000 out of 13,000 men
from Pennsylvania reported in that
cantonment.
Some of the return books do not
contain oaths of election officers,
some are without names of camps in
proper places and with other omis
sions which officials here are en
deavoring to correct.
Somewhat of a chill was cast over
Republicans here when the returns
of about eighty commissioners to the
bulk of the qamps and stations were
canvassed for Congressional votes.
These returns were from the big
camps like Lee and Meade, and
showed these soldier votes regarding
candidates in Congressional districts
where contests are close: Tenth—
Farr, 74; McLa-ne, 56; Eleventh —
Carpenter, 71; Casey, 111; Sixteenth
—Lesher, 42; Duy, 29. There are
forty commissioners to report, but
the bulk of the big camps and sta
tions have been heard from. Just
what will be done about votes where
the returns are lacking or imperfect
is not known now.

A Disgrace
to Journalism
Blacker discredit was yesterday
afternoon brought on American
newspapers, than by any event In
the memory of the oldest jour
nalist. it is all very line to rush
out in ordinary times with sensa
tional hut unverified dispatches, in
order to snatch a few more pen
nies from credulous folk. But to
deceive the public and purvey
false news in reference to cgie of
the most momentous events in the
history ot the world—this is noth
ing short of an offense against
public morals, as well as a viola
tion ot professional ethics, which
ought to be severely punished.
And the reckless papers, which
tlumed with a report that they
should have known to be incred
ible, and which was shown to be
untrustworthy on the slightest
inquiry, involved in their disgrace
other editors who strove to be
honest with themselves and with
their patrons. For the public is
little discriminating It lumps all
the newspapers together, and, af
ter yesterday, will give new edge
to the sneering question: "You
surely don't believe anything you
see in the papers?" It is for this
reason that the Evening Post
feels that yesterday's reckless im
' position, and betrayal of public
confidence, t>y the United Press
ought seriously to be taken Into
consideration by ull newspaper
men who wish to keep their call
ing reputable.
We speak ot the gross offmse
of the United Press,.but we should
speak just as strongly of the As
sociated Press If it had been ca
pable of such criminal trifling with
the- public. Take the original
story and the later lame defense
of the United Press. On its face,
the Paris dispatch was inherently
improbable. It was inconsistent
with what we knew about the
journey of the German eommls-,.
stoners to Marshal Foch. Even
before the Inter dispatches show
ed that the United Press telegram
was either a pure invention or a
stupid misunderstanding, the evi
dence of its huge improbability
was before every news editor.
The thing might be printed us an
unconfirmed rumor, hut the whole
affair cried out for careful veri
fication. This was instantly un
dertaken by the Associated Press,
and in no time enough was dis
covered to show that the United
Press dispatch was either a fabri
cation or the most idiotic blun
der. Yet with incredible levity
and in the tiiggest headlines the
dispatch, which every intelligent
newspaperman knew to be vio
lently suspect, was flung to the
public without a hint that It was
not otficial, and not to be taken
for gospel truth. The limping
and shamefaced explanations could
not overtake the original lie. In
fact, the alleged explanations had
lying stamped all over them.
The press, as we say, has a duty
to perform respecting this outrage
but has not the public also? Will
our easy-going people simply pass
It off as merely one more proof ot
newspaper irj<ponslhility, and
laugh at the next tale offered to
the gullible? All that we can say
is that if renders of the papers
who got this blow on the head are
not Toused by It to protest, and.
to resolve to distinguish between
the Journnllsm that strives to he
accurate, and that which does not
care a straw what it prints, so
long as it sells, they will continue
to he cheated by unscrupulous
newspapers. And, In our opinion,
they will deserve to be cheated.
What ought to follow is some kind
of organized and visible public
protest, to bring it sharply home
to the pockets—we speak not of
their consciences—of dishonorable
papers that their impostures and
their frauds do not pay.—New
York Evening Post.

LIEUT. TOWSEN
WOUNDED FIVE j
' TIMES IN ACTION!
Jaw Broken in Battle Near j
Verdun; Captain Hupp j
Wounded
Convalescing In a base hospital in '
France, after having been wounded (
In five different places in one en- j

Lieutenant Towsen was engaged in '
the vicinity of Verdun in the opera
tions which took place September 1
25-27 Although he was wounded in '
an engagement on the latter date in.!
th 6 jaw, hip, foot, arm and wrtst, he i
, was able to wtjJk front the lines, and •
[ did not seem to feel the effects of his '
j wounds ,until after he had left the 1
I zone of excitement. His most serious I
wound is In the jaw. which was
broken.
j His loft hand, It is claimed by
! Lieutenant Towsen, was saved by
j his wristwatch, a Hying missile hav
: Ing struck him in the wrist of that
I hand and lodged against the watch
i case, with such force as to have
j otherwise severed his hand or made
I amputation necessary. Lieutenant
Towsen reports that when leaving
the battle lines, he saw Captain
Hupp lying on the ground wounded
.and, as he thought, dead.
It was thought that the Captain
Hupp referred to was a Shireinans
town man, however such report
! could not he confirmed to-day. Some,
j say that the Captain Rupp referred j
Ito may be a York man, formerly |
connected with the Governor's I
Troop.
Lieutenant Towsen is a member
of Company D, Three Hundred and
Thirteenth Infantry. He received his
training and commission at Fort
Niagara, N. Y., and later was sent to

Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first lord of the British admiralty.
. Reichstag Leaders to Know
It is regarded probable in well informed circles that Prince
Maximilian, the German imperial chancellor, will to-day com
municate! the terms of the armistice to a committee of Reichstag
party leaders and will himself convey their vote to authorize the
plenipotentiaries to slfpi the armistice.
Germany May Use Wireless
It is probable that the Gertnan reply to the Allied terms for
an'armistice will be brought back by the same courier ihat took
them to German headquarters at Spa yesterday. Under the cir
cumstances, it is believed the#reply cannot be delivered before
the middle of this afternofln, at the very earliest.
The German g . eminent, however, may use the wireless, in
which case the plenipotentiaries at Marshal Foch's headquarters
will have only to ratify the decision thus conveyed to them.
BRITISH SEIZE |
MAUBEUGE; PUT
ENEMY IN TRAP
Haig Men Make It Impossible J
For Foe to Meet New
Attack
Washington, Nov. 9. —Capture of J
Maubeuge the British, General |
March said to-day, marks the deli-1
nite severance of the last German I
artery to that sector of the west j
front and will make it impossible I
for the enemy to shift his fofces to !
meet a new attack.
Summarizing the Allied successes j
since the inauguration of the for
ward movement. General March
pointed out that the Germans have
been driven sixty-four miles farther
from Paris and the territory they
occupy in France has been reduced
from 10,000 square miles to less than
2,500.
The American First army under
General Pershing has advanced
thirty miles in the last eight days.
Denounces Fake Dispatch
General March characterized the
publication of the erroneous an
nouncement of the armistice us
"very bad for the military program
of the United States." For instance,

Price of Boston Papers
Go Up at Week's End
Boston. Nov. 9. —Publishers of
Boston daily and Sunday papers
voted to-day to advance the price,
next Friday to 2 cents morning and,
evening, and 6 and 7 cents on Sun-!
days. To-day all the Boston evening
papers sell for 1 cent, except the
Transcript, which charges 3 cents,'
and all tho morning papers for 1,
cent except the Boston Globe, whlcn
sells for 2 cents, and the Christian|
Science Monitor, which sel's for 3
cents. All the Sunday papers sell I
for 5 cents.
Boston is the only lurge city in
the country in which there still re-1
rnained 1-cent-newspapers, nnd the!
increase to 2 cents has been under ■
consideration for some time. Largely,
increased bperatlng expenses and the ■
jumping price* of print paper have 1
made the 1-cent paper impossible. j

CELEBRATION OF
PEACE TO HAVE
A DEEP MEANING
WITH a great military victory i
and a triumphant peace im
pending, it is the opinion of
many thoughtful people of Har
risbUrg that any public demon
stration should e in harmony
with the Ideals of the war and
the great causes which led the
United States to participate In Ue
conflict. 4 y
There is a disposition too often
to make of these occasions a mere
Jollification without meaning and
contrary to the spirit of serious
purpose underlying the alliance
for righteousness and liberty and
justice. In a premature celebra
tion the other nig.,t upon a false
rumor of peace, there was mani
fest a disposition to treat the
whole thing as a Hallowe'en or
Mardi Grns festival might have
been treated.
The greet sacrifices of the war
have touched many homes, and •
while there' should be great Joy j
and rejoicing over the termination
of hostilities and the coming of j
peace, there ought also tct be a j
serious appreciation of what has j
been achieved and 'what the vie- ]
tor.v means for the country and j
the world.
The Telegraph believes that, I
above all else, there should be a !
recognition of God In appropri
ate services in nil the chulches.
Of course, there should also he a
great public demonstration ifi har
mony with the ideals and purposes
of the war. Rut nil mere garni- i
val features should be eliminated.
It ought, in short, to lie a fine pa
triotic expression of the Joy of
the people along the lino of sev
eral of the imposing demonstra
tions which have marked the
progress of the war in Harrlsburg.
There is no necessity for any !
hasty celebration. It ought to
follow quickly, of course, after
the declaration of peace, but
whatever Is done should be done
after some thought as to the char
acter of the celebration and the
proper arrangement of details.
It would seem that even now
Mayor Keister might call into
conference the chairman of the
Committee of National Defense
nnd others who have been promi
nent in the war activities—men
and women—with a view to out
lining a program to the end that
there may lie no celebration that
will reflect adversely upon a com
munity that has acquitted Itself
so admirably throughout the war.

ASH COLLECTION
CONTRACT PLAIT
[Continued from First Page.]
ment, he claims, has been a satisfac
tor yone, but he is planning now to
have the collections of ashes made
oftener next year, at least during the
winter months. Numerous com
plaints have been received here,
it will cost the city more money,
he said, but will insure much bettor
service. The present arrangement
which went into effect early in tho
year will cost the city $40,000 by
the end of next month. Dr. Hassler
said he could not estimate what tho
bids for the work next year will be.
Behind in Schedules
At present collections are being
made, according to officials of tho
Bureau of Ash and Garbage Inspec
tion, by a fifteen-day schedule. Dur
ing tho last month there was some
difficulty in maintaining this ar
rangement they said, due to the epi
demic of influenza, which caused the
death of two of the collection forco
and at times had many of the other
men at homo sick. November IC,
however, the colection gangs will
start at Market street, working north
and south as usual.
Officials of the bureau have re
quested householders to provide from
four to six receptacles holding from
one to one and one-half bushels each.
They said that with collections every
two weeks, one or two receptacles
would not hold the accumulation of
ashes. Co-operation on the part of
the householders will be a big help
in meeting this condition, they said.
May Collect Rubbish
It was also announced that an
ordinance may be introduced in
Council in a week or two which
will be effective beginning January 1
and will provide for tho collection of
rubbish and ashes from all build
ings in the city. It is planned, i*
possible, to remove the refuse from
hotels and restaurants, fire company
houses and other places not includ
ed in the present agreement. Wheth
er Council will approve this plan of
ficials could not say, but a number
of proprietors of "hotels, and res
taurants during the year have made
complaints because the ashes and
rubbish has not been taken from
their places.
Another plan which may be pro
posed would bo to have weekly col
lections for apartment houses and
other larger buildings where the
amount of coal used is greater and
the ashes accumulate in larger quan
tities. Officials sftid that collections
every two weeks for these places do
not prove as satisfactory as collec
tions once each week.
Youthful Thespians Give
Vaudeville For Belgians
The Keystone Entertainers, an or
ganization of five youthful thespian*.
residing in East State street, made*
their debut in a series of entertain
ments the last few evenings at the
"Williams Playhouse," 1723 Apricot
street, the entire proceeds of which
go to the Belgian Relief Fund. A
neat sum was realized.
Interspersed with lantern pictures,
some vaudeville stunts were cleverly
presented, a change of program oc
curring nightly. A notable feature
of Thursday evening's performance
was the human mummy doll, 27
Inches high, born in Africa in 1784,
and now speaking English fluently
as it danced the latest "bunny-hug."
Last evening's headliner was the
Capture of Sedan, a three-act war
drama in miniature, showing tho
several military encampments, the
forts In action, the hovering air
planes, the gunboats plying the river
Meuse; concluding with tho onrush
of the American soldiers, the demo
lition of the enemy fortifications and
the surrender of tho Germans.
