2 CITY COUNCIL Z AND DEMOCRATS .V HONOR GORGAS 'i4*;\esolution of Respect Passed on Death of Former fc Commissioner L . Resolutions of respect in honor of tVilli&m Luther Gorgas. former City , Commissioner . and Acting Mayor, and widely known in banking and ' Masonic circles, were passed at a special meeting of Council, held this morning. The members decided also to attend the funeral services on Monday in a body. The Rev. J. Bradley Markward. pastor of Beth- It-hem Lutheran Church, will officiate JLfit the services at the home. 904 North Third street, at 2.30 o clock, while the Masonic Order will conduct an impressive ■ service at the gra\c. At the Council meeting this morn -fcing following the passage of the res olution. which was introduced b> , _v> Commissioner W. H. Lynch. Mayor •"■Daniel L. Keister made a short ad- i t dress, in which he paid tribute to the ■—ervine and integrity of the ex-Com- N- inissioner as an official and a Ipisi '• nessman. He also called attention to ■2 the honors conferred upon Mr. Gor gcis and mentioned his political and fraternal activities. ? Commissioner E. Gross also if made a few remarks before the reso- Z lotion was passed. He mentioned, 2 particularly the services of Mr. ,t Gorgas and his work in connection ' with charitable institutions, notably the Harrisburg Hospital, of which he v was treasurer for years. Y The complete tribute and resolu tion as passed unanimously by 1 Council, and as it will be placed on :he official record of councllmanlc ' procedure, follows: • Whereas. William Luther Gorgas has been called front service to re "■ ward, and the good that men do is j oft interred with their bones,* there- | I Tore it is fitting that a record of his j municipal work be made while these j matters are still fresh in the memory of those who were associated with j him. Now. therefore. * "Be It Resolved. By the Council of -i the City of Harrisburg. that the foi -1 lowing minute be spread upon the •b records of the Council, that a copy 'Jt thereof be forwarded to his family, and, as a mark of respect, that we attend the funeral in a body." •William Luther Gorgas, busi- nessman, banker, philanthropist and citizen, began his active service for i the City of Harrisburg upon his elec- | i lion as a member of the Select Coun- j j| oil from the Fifth ward in 1883. He | V served in this capacity trom 1883 j * to 1886 and from 1887 to 1890. His diligent and faithful service, ability ' and interest were so appreciated by j his fellow-members of that body that he was elected president thereof dur i ing the years 1883 to 1886. In 1902. when the original Board of Public Works was created, he was select ed as a member, and rendered signal 1 ! service in assisting that board to ex- ] ,1 eeute the important work entrusted - to it. In 1913, when the Clark act V went into effect and four members Y of Council came to be located on the .; non-partisan'ticket. although he was to be a stalwart member of —rhe minority party, he was so high esteemed by the electors of the Spci ty that he was nominated and elect f 'jeil with the largest vote received by gYunj candidate. Recognizing his fit- S ? 'nss in character, learning and ex i'"" p. rience. lie was by his associates * placed in charge of the department b; of accounts and fiance, which de- J: partment he organized and conduct- Jl ed for two years with his usual effici fi- ncy. in recognition of his services, £ : lie was in 1915 re-elected as a mem l! tier of City Council, and again placed J at the head of the department of fl •-- nance and accounts. During the year r 5 ; 3 917. on two occasions and for a con | eiderable time, he served as Acting * j Mayor of the city by reason of va- SL fancies in that otfice. He was also £? vice-president of the League of Cities fcof the Third Class for two terms. j. "He brought to every position in I the muniicipal government which he J filled a trained and a charac 1-*er rich in experience, which enabled . him to transact business with a com , plete grasp of the situation, accuracy - and dispatch, lie was always a shin * ing example of a successful business woman. ready to sacrifice his own time £'apd interest in carrying on the mu v . nicipal government." * The Central Democratic Club also . met and passed resolutions honor ■ ?ing the banker and former city oftl * - cial. They are as follows: *S. "Whereas, Almighty God, in His wisdom, has seen lit to remove from] eour midst William U Gorgas, and "Whereas, By his unexeptecd 1 Lrieath the city of Harrisburg has lost } a public-spirited citizen who always fflahored to promote the best inter rests in our city government and | whose wisdom and sound judgment *' will be sadly missed in our municipal * and "Whereas, He lias always loyally V defended tlie principles of the Dem jMocratic party and sought to niain jf tain its glorious traditions, be it | "Resolved. That the Central Dem-1 *f. ocratic Club hereby expresses its pro found sorrow at the death of Wil liarn U Gorgas and extends its i'lieartfelt sympathy to the members S? of his family, and be it further * "Resolved, That these resolutions I be spread upon the minutes and a ,; °Py be forwarded to the family of Jithe deceased. - (Signed) "EDWARD MOESLEIN.

Prow ell Backs Bill Which Ap pears in the House ! Fishermen's license, which created j considerable stir in the closing days of the legislature of 1917. bids fair j to occupy a prelty fair place in the I deliberations ofYhe House commit- I tee on fish and fisheries this scs jsion, as a bill establishing a dollar license for ail fishermen has made its appearance in the House with ; the influential backing of Chairman i Rlchayd W. Powell, of the Fish com mittee. Sir. Powell halls from Lu zerne county and took an active part in the work of that committee at the last session. The aim of the bill is to provide a definite revenue for the operation of the Department of Fisheries, just as the hunters' li cense furnishes the funds for the maintenance of the Stdte Game Com mission offices and its force as well as its preserves and the bounty sys tem. The bill aroused considerable opposition and much talk at the last session and was sharply attack ed. "This bill which 1 have introduced is virtually a duplicate o9 that in the session of 1917," said Mr. Pow ell. "The object is a dollar liqense. the proceeds to be devoted sblely to the work of the State Depart ment of Fisheries. If that depart ment is to be run on a broad basis, such as the fishermen of the State demand it, it must have money. There are many calls for State money and we have been going through unusual conditions which require large appropriations. The people at the head of the Depart ment of Fisheries say more money is needed. I believe that the opin ion of many people in regard to a fishermen's license has changed since the last session, just as opinion has changed in regard to hunters license, which many recall, was vig orously fought. The bill is in. Now it can be discussed." It is estimated that the measure, if it becomes a law. will bring in about $600,000. There are almost 700,000 people who like to fish, many of whom it is calculated, would pay a dollar for the sport if they got' returns in the shape of more fish and better stocking of streams. The fish license bill got 66 votes in its favor in the House last ses sion and its advocates will be get ting busy. PEACE OF JUSTICE AS BERNSTORFF SEES IT [Continued from First Pago.] frontier. Naturally, however, we do not desire a spread of Bolshevism over Germany and other countries. J "As for point No. 7, we are pre- j pared to pay for all damage done to the Belgian civil population and their property as far as will be proved to have been perpetrated by •German aggression.' Fears New Wrong in Alsace "The same applies to point number eight, relative to damage done civilians and their property in North ern France. As for Alsace-Lorraine, we could not consider it 'righting a wrong' if through the peace settle ment a new wrong should be per mitted. That, however, would be the case if Germans were compelled to become French against their will Likewise," it must be emphasized in connection witli point number nine, that justice would forbid forcing Germans to become Italian subjects without their free consent. "Point number ten, treating on the question of Austria-Hungary. has been subsequently enlarged by the American government, in the sense that the Slav nationalities of the former dual monarchy must he granted, not only autonomy, but ab solute self-determinatiou. Justice will demand that the same privilege he accorded to Austrian-Germans. Tn the same manner, we consider points 11 and 12 merely the demand of jus tice that various peoples of the Bal kan peninsula and the Ottoman em pire should be given their rights without distinction and the freest opportunity for self-determination. "As regards point 13, justice com pels us to consent that present Ger man territories .'inhabited by indis putably Polish populations' should form a part of new Poland, but jus tice likewise compels us not to toler ate that territories he placed under foreign sovereignty which are inhab ited by indisputably German popu lation. Moreover, we would consider 1 it a wrong of the gravest character, if. to satisfy Polish ambition. East Prussia should be cut off front the rest of the empire. Self "Determination tlie Basis "Concerning all territorial changes to be considered by the Peace Con ference. we absolutely rely on point number two of Mr. Wilson's address at AJount Vernon, in which he em phasized the fact that settlement of all such questions must be made 'upon a basis of free acceptance of settlement by the peoples imme diately concerned.' Indeed, a peace of right and justice presupposes that, under guarantee of the league of na tions, the principle of national self determination will be made superior to all territorial questions. As to Guilt For War "As to tlie question of guilt for tlic war, the German government tins proposed that tills question should be submitted to a neutral commis sion. This seems to be the only Just solution. The German people, in tlie vast majority, do not feel guilty, al though they do not deny that mis takes were made."

The new board will meet shortly and elect its staff.

BXWUBBURO <NMI TELEGRAPH ACT ON PHYSICAL TRAINING COURSE Military Training to Go With Physical Culture if J Desired The bill prepared by' the State Board of Education tor a system of physical training in the public schools of Pennsylvania has been made ready for presentation in the legislature during the coming week and it is the idea to have the act take effect immediately upon its ap proval, except in third and fourth class districts. The bill was drawn after an ex tensive study of the subject in the State conducted by Dr. J. George Becht, the secretary of the Board, tTOring last year and some studies made by him in foreign countries. By the provisions of the bill the course "shall be adapted to the ages and capabilities of the pupils in the several grades and departments, and shall include exefcises, calisthenics, formation drills, instruction in per sonal and community health and safety and in correcting and pre venting bodily deficiency." Instruc tion in citizenship as they relate to community and national welfare is also mentioned, while for female pupils there is prescribed instruc tion in domestic hygiene, first aid and nursing. The State Board is to make the regulations and adminis ter the act under a bureau of phy sical education to be cyeated by the State. Board. A State supervisor will be named. An annual report is required on the first Monday of July. In addition it is provided "If the Board of Education of any school district shall determine that the course in physical training as pre scribed for male pupils shall include military training such a course shall be prepared under the direction of the State Board of Education, and i the Adjutant General and shall be la part bf.the course of physical I training for male pupils. All male I pupils of the high school shall be required to take this course, exqept | ing in the case of boys physically , unfit, as determined by the medical I inspector or whose parents may have I conscientious scruples against mili ' tary training." The system will start in third class ; districts in 1920, and in fourth in the following year.

NEBRASKA'S * GOVERNOR SEES CAPITOL PLANS Declares the Brunner Scheme Will Make a Wonder ful State Park "Pennsylvania has a splendid Uapitol and your plan of surrounding it with a Capitol park that will be a civic center of the commonwealth is a wonderful idea," said Governor Alc-j Kelvey, of Xebrusko, who enmo here to-dy to inquire as to the methods used by the Keystone State >n con structing a State House.

Thomas Herchelroth, of East Marietta, to day received from his friend, Pri vate George Gress, serving in the United States Army, in France, a copy of what the Germans were dis tributing from airships over their lines before the armistice was sign ed. His friend says he picked it up on tlie battlefield on the Hazivant Farm,■ A'engneulle, France, and held it until he was sure the censor would pass it. It may be the only one in America. The headline—Peace in Sight—was displayed in bold type. It reads: "Austria-Hungary lias pro posed to enter into negotiations of peace. Germany, Bulgaria. Turkey have no objection to it. Peace is close at hand. Peace before winter. Peace, the yearning of all nations. It now depends upon the Allied governments to speak out. Or, should' they prefer to turn a deaf ear to the appeals of their subjects, it is up to the people themselves. Is now the time to start negotiations for peace? We beiieve so. Upon the German spring and summer suc cesses there followed the successes of the Allies. But it has not come to a decision. The German army is in readiness in its former strongly fortified positions. Both sides are prepared for fresh fighting. But what can they achieve at tlie very beat? Drive back the enemy slowly and lay waste more French soil. And all this at tlie price of this monstrous bloodshed. Therefore, tlie time has come to enter into negotiations of peace and to pre pare a peace of understanding. It is up to the Allied governments and nations to say their mind." Private Gress is a native of Columbia, and enlisted at the outbieak of'the war in Company 3. and was later trans ferred to another command. New Market Boy Faces Death in Many Battles New Market.

Here is part of letter which he wrote to his mother January 11: "Mother, I am going to tell you something that I never told you tie fore. I was in three of the largest battles of the war, Chateau Thierry, A'erdun and St. Mihiei. \ have learned many things since'l joined the army November 3. 1917. One thing is. you have to fight shoulder to shoulder if you want to accom plish anything. I was up on the front lines at Chateau Thierry and A'erdun with the Third Division and they were sopie fighters as they nev er once yielded an inch of ground to the Huns. I saw shells bursting close to where I was and waiting for one to be my finish. I faced death many a time as did the other boys of the Third Division. I have seen all I wanted to and I am cer tainly glad that the war is over. I was pretty lucky to escape without a scratch. 1 never told you this he fore as I was afraid it would tnake you worry and yon had enough of worry. A'ou did your share whefT you gave your two sons to Uncle Sam and that is more than many a mother did. I will be coming home some of these days so cheer up, mother, and we will wait the time when we can meet again under the old home roof." Another 4bn Pri vate Charles D. Bates, is also in France but expects to sail for home soon.
