Through Eager j ness of Young Men to Take Part in Training; Boys Im prove Physically ! COURSE IS OPTIONAL WITH EVERY YOUTH "Our discipline is one hundred per I cent, better this year than ever be -1 fore as a result of our system of military training." This is the im pressive endorsement g,iven by Head master Arthur E. Brown this morn ing in commenting on the success with which the system worked out. Discipline has been Improved in every possible manner. Headmaster llrown said. "Noise in the corridors, he said, "has been reduced' to an absolute minimum and the punctu ality of the boys is remarkable." The one hundred and seventy odd hoys have derived much benefit, physically from their forty minutes daily on the drill fields. .Stories are told of many pounds of additional muscle and iiesh now being carried by the youths as h result of their systematic exercise under the cap able instruction of Captain Francis 11. Hoy, Jr. illness among them is quite exceptional as a result of the tip-top physical condition in which their drill has resulted. But the classreorn work of the youths has been largely benefited too, by the milituiy work. Mr. Brown tells that the boys are ac quitting themselves very, very much better than they did before. After j their methodical physical work un j dor careful supervision, he says, the hoys are in better condition to get down to their work when the study hour comes and they do get down and apply themselves with greater vigor than ever they did before the system of military training was in augurated at the Harrisburg Acade my. Optional Willi \ outlis The Harrisburg Academy was the first local secondary educational in stitution to take up the system of military training and the manner in which the system has appealed to the youths and the beneficial results at tained is consequently of consider able interest. "The system is entire 1} optional among the youths," Headmaster Brown explained, "but there is not a single youth on the roster of the institution who has not availed himself of the opportunity to take the drill." Headmaster Brown spoke in glow ing terms of the work that the boys are doing on the Academy's parade grounds. The system will be con tinued in after years and as long thereafter as the results warrant, he promises All the students are well versed in the foot movements of a soldier and some of the more advanced of military tactics will lie given them later. Approximately a half hundred guns have been secured by Academy officials and these will lie furnished to the older youths who will Do given instructions in Ihe manual of arms v Captain lloy Pleased Captain Franc.s H. Hoy, Jr., military instructor at the Academy, in speaking of the progress of the boys, feels very much encouraged over the manner in which the stu dents have taken to the work. In speaking of the training hefng given the students at the Academy, Captain Hoy said: "My services were secured to instruct the students In military tactics and the liist duties of a soldier, namely obedience to or ders, discipline and courtesy. And 1 am very much pleased to see by the conduct of the students that they have taken to those three principles just as strongly as they have to the maneuvering. "The boys appear in their uni forms at all times," continued Cap tain Hoy. "The uniforms are a cadet gray, made over the exact pattern of the West Point cadet." When asked about undertaking the train ing of students of such varied ages. Captain Hoy replied: "It was quite an undertaking for one' person to teach 180 students ranging in age from 8 years to 20 years, as it is customary in all military cainps or units for one person to instruct a squad, which is composed of eight men." .Speaking along this line, Captain Hoy continued: "But I was very careful in selecting student officers, both commissioned and non-com missioned. All of these appointments were made for merit. I first selected those whose work came to my notice and mentioned their names to Dr. Brown, headmaster, so as to know • of these students' conduct and Mitnd liilg in their various studies. Each one had to make good in the posi tion he was appointed to before he was given his chevrons. officers Named "The present commissioned of ficers are First Lieutenants Budding ton, Hunter, Green and Meistreau. The sergeants are Loose, Bacon, Rose, Michauz, Bennethum and Mil nor. The company is divided into three platoons which 1 expect later to turn into three companus. They have been taughf the school of ' j soldier, school of I lie squad and school of the company, close and open formation. Hetting-up exercises and will soon take up interior guiu'd ' duty and extended order." j When asked about the progress | the students ure making in militury I training. Captain Hoy replied: j "Considering the short time they j | have been together, only having 1 from thirty to forty minutes a day, j I and the fact that the school was ? | closed for such u long period, due i I to the 'flu' ban, 1 feel sale in saying | I it is one of the best military bodies ; 1 of boys and young men in Kennsyl- i. ; vania." Captain lloy added: "I am glad ! ; to say that 1 am greatly encouraged | ; by the support and hearty co-opera- j I tion 1 have received from members j | of the faculty and parents of the ! I students, who, 1 am quite sure, will I I in a short time notice the develop- j I ment of their sons. And 1 am quite | | confident that the Harrisburg Acade- j j my could not have added a more , I important course to their school, j that would have been more beneficial j to its students, than the military j ! branch." Captain Hoy said, finally: "liar- j '■ risburg can feel very proud it has j S such a splendid school and military i j body of student scholars as the Har ; risburg Academy. And when they I appear in their initial parade, they j will be the cause of a great many .favorable comments."

M'ADOO ORDERS SHORTER HOUJRS FOR RAIL MEN Shop Employes Begin Forty- Eight Hour Week After War Pennsylvania railroad shop em- I plo.ves in this city nnd vicinity start ed their first eight-hour day to-day. A j forty-eight hours weekly schedule | was inaugurated. Three shifts are to bo employed by , the company, as rapidly as it Is pos- | sible to obtain men, and as work ! warrants' the Introduction of tills j plan. Day workers at the machine and car shops reported for duty at 7 a. m. nnd will cease tolling at 4 i p. m. Night forces will start at 4 j p. m. and work through until 12 | i o'clock midnight. Foundry mr n Nut Affected Hecause of peculiar conditions ex- j isting at the foundries of the | [ l ennsy, men working on "heats," will •' j continue on the same basis as at I present, and their time will run nine j I und ten hours. But employes in other foundry de- I partments, such as pattern-ma iters, | I machinists and laborers will observe i I the eight-hour order. The "heaters" j j cannot arrange their tasks as easily !' as men In other capacities and they will be compelled to follow the pres ent method of attending to duties. Snmc llours Saturday ' At the offices of the Pennsy, it was stated that the new order stip ulates that six eight-hour days shall constitute the revised schedule. That provides for working the same hours on Saturdays as on the previous five days, and the usual weekend half holiday will be eliminated. Six eight-hour nights for the night workers are also noted, and the tisua. idleness on Saturday nights is there fore to become a tiling o fthe past, at various departments where night forces are necessary. The total num ber of employes on duty at night is hot great, compared to the army of men working on the day schedule. It is anticipated that considerable objection will grow out of the with drawal 'of the weekly half-holiday. It has been a custom for many years nnd when plans to do away with it last summer were broached as result of the spreading need of ear and en gine repairs, workmen asked for the opportunity to make up the equiva lent of time lost on Saturdays, by go ing to work earlier and quitting later r.teh day. Whether any steps to ob serve such a method under the eight hours plan would be taken, officials ■ could not say. Iltivc %<• I.Hitch Honrs j In accordance with the shortened | schedule, night workers will have no j special hour.for lunching, r.s at pres ent when those working from 6 p. in. to B a. in. have a certain lime to eat a lunch during the night. It is pointed out that beginning to-night, these men will have to snatch a bite whenever their job per mits. While it has one benefit in al lowing them to get home an hour earlier, instead of taking time for lunch, some workers may object and declare the rest and temporary re laxation are more valued than the privilege of reaching home sooner. Day workers will have the usual I noon hour period for dinner. Notice - ! were placed throughout the shops yesterday afternoon. The order was ' received here on Wednesday, but a.t | it was not effective until next week, | two days notice was thought suffi cient for the men. Work Plentiful Now With winter approaching and no apparent decrease In the use of cars and locomotives, the local hops have ■ plenty of work ahead. The repairs continue to be heavy and the scarcity of engines has been noticeable for some time, although the car shortage 1h not so acute. News of the change in orders came as a surprise to shopmen. Several weeks ago it was announced that the eight-hour plan would be inaugurated on December 9, and that the shop hours would he reduced on November 2(i to nine hours and thus pave the way for the still shorter sehedtile. Rescinding of that order by the fed j oral manager, promptly followed, wit.i j the explanation that there was much work ahead to let the eiglit- I hour plan become a reality. \t I'lngliicliouNeH I,liter Willie Wie order applies to shops chiefly. It was stated that the new tegulation of working time wiy eventually be observed at all engine houses as well. That the order will be extended to these forces as promptly as feasible, was the statement of a motive power official. It may be in vogue next week at smaller houses where the operation is of a lesser proportion and fewer employes are required. The general establishment of t lie three forces will probably be deferred sev eral weeks yet, until a sufficient group of men can be obtained. Unsteady workers are going to be affected undoubtedly by the eight hour schedule. They may not take so much time off and affect the produc tion of their departments to such a vast degree hereafter, for their earn ings will be considerably curtailed nnd working on every working day in every week will probably prove a no velty to many of them. Abstenteeism is unquestlonaly destined to receive a knockout blow through the medium of the shorter working day, 1,250,000 Foreigners in U. S. Are Anxious to Return to Europe Now York, Doc. 9.—"lnstead of our receiving hundreds of thousands of foreigners a year, we are to sec a flat reversal of that condition.

H, Mauk "£?,,*• i Private Ambulance Phonea * ; FORMER EMPEROR TOOL OF GERMAN PARTY Sclicidemann Says He Has Been Punished; Harden Acquits Hohenzollern London, Dec. 9.—Willinin Hohen zollern already has been suffi ciently punished, but it is essential that his part in causing the war should be clearly established, says Phlllpp Selieldemann, the former Ger man secretary of finance and colonies, in an Interview published bv the Kxpress. He said the establishment of a i state tribunal to try all persons I guilty of causing the war now is | being discussed, but must be decid | ed' upon by the national assembly. I Scheldemann, according to the Ex ] press, said further that Dr. IV. S, i Solf. foreign minister, remains in | the government because it is Delieved ! lie has the confidence of Great Urit j sin and Americu. | The eventual government Germany j will have will be republican in l'orni, "a united states of Germany," Hcrr ! .Scheldemann predicted. *Knlsrr Tool of Militarists .Maximilian Hnrden, editor of the Zukunft of Berlin, said to tlie c< r respondent of the Express according to a dispatch from the German e.tp | ltal, that the impression abroad con j cerning former Emperor William is a ■ false one. He said that he, himself, ! had suffered too much through the j former emperor to Incur a charge of j partiality, but that it was a fact that William Hohenzollern had no personal part In willing the war, but was a there tool in the hands of tiie Military party, by which h'j was re garded as a coward. "When tlie moment for declaring war came, the militarists were afraid he would refuse to sign the declara tion," said Harden. "The former em peror missed his viyatloii. He never was happier than when posing in the limelight. He ought tj have managed a cabaret or taken a show on tour. He was a great- shbwman," Declaring he knew when America came Into the war that Germany would be beaten, Harden said: "I fought with the censors to tell Ihe people this, and when President Wilson published ids fourteen points I advocated ' their acceptance because I knew he could not get bettor or more favorable conditions." 28th and 79th Divisions May Be Home in Spring In his announcement of Saturday, General March, the chief of staff at Washington, made it clear that the 28th Division (Pennsylvania National Guard) is included in the army of occupation and that tlie 79th Division, which was organized at Camp Meade and which also includes many Penn sylvanians would also be witli tlie army of occupation. It thought probable that all the troops will lie relieved in the late spring or early summer. Private advices received in Harris burg to-day seem to indicate that Berlin will be occupied by the Ameri can and Allied troops: that certain railroad units have already been given orders which would indicate service In the German capital. Five divisions, including the 281 h and the 79th, will occupy Luxemburg. They form the second line of the army of occupation, ready to rein force (lie other army on the Rhine if necessary. The official composition of tlie American army of occupation, the Third American army, comprising thirteen divisions, as reported by General Pershing, follows: Regulars—lst, 2d. 3d, 4th, sth, 7th.
