Steelton News LECTURES ON SOCIAL HYGIENE First Lecture to Be Given This Evening in First Metlio t tlist Church The first of a series of lectures preparatory to a big campaign In flfte interests of social hygiene, is to Te given this evening in the First Methodist church. The name of the speaker is not known, but it will be a woman physician sent here from the War Department at Washington. The talk this evening is to be pre paratory to a big campaign to be j cajrian on in the borough through ] the gf . le schools, high school and | Industrial plants. The necessity for education on the' subject was brought to the attention of the War Department by the ex periences of the various camps and cantonments during the time of mobilization, and a committee to carry on the work of education was Immediately appointed. It is this committee that has made the ar rangements for the educational campaign here. The meeting this evening will be opened at 7.30 o'clock and a good attennly on one sector but on 1 two or three sectors. He confessed to having felt a little anxiety, not knowing what was likely go con front him, but in perfect Confidence, knowing as he rode along In his car, that the train of trucks following him was driven by the men of Com- , pany A. As for the men of the com- j pany, they would have or would again to-day follow Captain Mcßain had he been headed for Berlin. The Captain made a short pause and asked the men to remember with bowed heads for a few minutes their comrade. Corporal Albert Schoffner, who died from wounds received while in action on the field of honor. He then went on to say that the events of the day and the thorough and perfect harmony of pleasure which were enjoyed had proven again the indomitable spirits of the men, by their ability to stage and carry on such an affair on this Christmas | Day, even though situated in a lonely, muddy woods of France under the most "unfavorable conditions. Concluding bis speech the Captain said, "This la the one event that 1 have hoped and prayed for ever since I have been associated with men of Company A. to sit with them at a real feast. I have never been to Har risburg in my life but the one thing which is my earnest wish is to visit Harrisburg and meet you men in your homes and surroundings. I have never at any time been assov ciated with so fine a personnel. The most that I can say is. that this com pany needs no commanding officer: every man is his own embodiment of honor and has at all times done his utmost, whether under supervision or not. tt> perform his duty as a sol dier and a man. If at any time I can aid or assist any man in Company A, I would consider it a pleasure." Next we were favored by a song from two of our company members. Leroy Sutterly and Edgar Meyers, whose ability as entertainers has be come known to ail in the 38th divi sion. A. parody on the "Dixie Volunteer*" called the "Keystone Volunteers." Oir master of ceremonies, ''Arty" Jones (the ragtime kid) asked for a few words from our hardworking Y. M. C. A. man, Mr. Turney, of Pitts bjrgh, who told us of his desire ever since last December when he arrived overseas to be attached to the 28th division And how he had finally suc ceeded after working for some ttme in the rear areas In being attached to the lOSrd Supply Train. How much he had enjoyed the work since his attachment and how gratified he was by the appreciation which the men had shown of his efTort, no mat ter how slight it may have been. He told a few comical occurrences of which he had been the basis. Then he told of when he arrived here he has messed with Company B up until their departure a few weeks previous when they had left to go back to the coast for new trucks. He had ln quired where the best place to mess one advised him that Company A be yond all doubt had the best cooks. So late one night he appeared at our kitchen dressed in a raincoat and hip boots, asked the mess sergeant, Francis Slmonetti, what the chances were for a meal. Our worthy ser geant mess, ever watchful that too many outsiders did not ring in and deprive the company members of their full alloted share of mess said, "1 don't know, there are too many of j ou fellows from that bunch blowing in here as it is." Of course, after Mr. Turney had explained that he didn't belong to that organisation but was the new Y. M. C. A. man. he was fed heartily and has beep enjoying full and plenty ever since. As a fiuale he told the men that he is always at iand and would be glad of an oppor tunity to do anything to help the boys in any way. More songs— Meyers-Sutterly: - "In the garden of my heart" "If he can tight like he can love— ' Good Night. Germany."' (with ah original parody) "When the Germans met the 2Sth Division." "Mother pull in your service flag, your son's in the S. O. S." The Record Reviewed An address from our friend. "A darn good dentist." Lt. Jenkins. Upon his entry to the Supply Train and his pleasure since being with it. How he was made to feel right at home, having been accepted as one of us. (however Lt. Jenkins would have been received anywhere just as wel comely. due to his pleasant personal ity and good fellowship). He also stated that this Christmas Pay would be remembered by him as o?e of the real pleasures of his life. "Arty" next introduced Lt. Sehepp of the re pair unit, who, though claiming to be unprepared, made good. He had heard of the 2Sth division as being a good one when they were stationed at Camp Hancock and he endeavored to get witty It at the time, was very well plea%ed that he hda finally suc ceeded. The master of ceremonies called for a word from his own com mander Lt. Douglas, our M. P., who has done a great deal towards keep ing our sick report the lowest in the division. He commended the men on their work ever since the very start when of our first encampment at Mt. Gretna when they had entered the army as truck drivers. Although "grecnies" they had established an enviable record. He has watched the company from Camp Stewart to Camp Hancock and accompanied them on their two overland trips from De troit to Baltimore. From his view point he praised the men and- their work highly. How While In Hancock they handled the arrival of all the organizations whjch eoihpi4*ed the SBth and driven the big trtfcks over the sandy, unused roads with practi cally no lights, wo'king day and night, never failing to add to their record by keeping the railhead al ways clear for the new arrivals. In concludi\£ his address the lieutenant referred to Irwin Cobb's version of "his first sight ot the Statue of Lib erty on his return to the United States—hoping tmt' we may all soon enjoy the same sensation. Cpatain Torry, of Company B. was asked for a word. He enlivened the gathering with a little for the un listed men and a little thrust at him self as an officer filling an unneces sary position. He spoke p£ the truck drivers deserving as mu?l) credit as the infantrymen thoughiwhil* not having contributed toward the actual killing any Germans; I they had served as the backbone for the men on the line and were in equally haz ardous places. Our singers again favored us with: "Smiles." "They were all out of step but— Jim." "Just a baby's prayer at twilight." The master of ceremonies called for the man who needed no introduc tion, one who had proven his worth to the government, the officers and the enlisted men, the first sergeant, Herman A. Early. Sergeant Early made a short speech, presenting td the captain a leather toilet apt given by the men to their captain %s a token of their es teem. The captain explained that due to the position which he hell as an army officer he was not llv.ved to accept the gift, but would tetein it for the boys until .released from the service. He appreciated ;he thought which accompanied tne gift more than any gift which mig.n have been presented to him for it assured him Of his standing with the men of his command. , This concluded the afternoon and as we passed from the rendezvous w< were given more cakes, candy, cigars and cigarets. Fire Rides the Rails as Fast Mail Speeds * Over the Pennsy Line By Associated Press Pittsburgh, Pa., Feb. 4.—Fire, starting in a fast mail train speed ing toward Pittsburgh from Phila delphi , destroyed a car loaded with mail for Chicago and badly dam aged another bound for Indianap olis, at Pitcairn. twenty miles east of here, this morning. The cars are said to have carried registered mail valued at many thousands of dol lars. The fire which for a time .hj-eat ened to destroy the entire train, had gained great headway before it was discovered by the crew between Traf ford and Pitcairn. The speed of the train fanned the blaze, which spread to the Indianapolis car before the lo comotive was stopped. The lire was extinguished by firemen from nearby towns after it had delayed traffic on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad for more than an hour.

Payne visited many parts of Eng land' the last time he was overseas. He made ten trips acros the Atlantic. He visited London, Southampton, Liverpool. Portsmouth and stayed two weeks on the Isle of Wight, con sidered the garden spot of Englaud. While there the Plattsburg was an chored to the same buoy that held King George's yacht 'during the yachting season before the war. The clubhouse is very picturesque, according to his description. The walls are overrun with ivy, and it is situated on a point of land known as the town of Cowes, with a popula tion of ten thousand. The people of Cowes seemed overjoyed in their greetings to the Americans, as they were the first American sailors to anchor in the port in five years. . Another plaee of interest on the Isle of Wight described by Mr. Payne is a castle qeac the town known as Newport, where the water is drawn from a well by a donkey on a tread mill. Besides these English places, the young machinist mate has visited a number of cities in France, includ ing Brest, where he met his brother, Robert A. L. Payne, who also is serv ing Uncle Sam in the United States Navy. While anchored at Brest, he visited the chateau there, where he saw the ruins of the dungeon where a princes had been imprisoned in 1400, A.

The arrangement prescribes the sections where the Poles and Czechs are to exercise civil administration and military occupation and regu lates the operation and disposition of the output of the mines. As soon as possible after its arrival, the com mission will go to Teschen to ex amine the matter at issue. This, al though unknown to the outside world, has been a very important and dangerous factor affecting rela tions between the newly-created states. Title to the Duchy of Teschen is involved in the controversy. This duchy was formerly a part of the crownlands of Austrian Silesia and has a population of less than 500 - 000. The Czechs' claim rests on suzer ainty exercised over the country by the kings of Bohemia in the Four teenth century and the fact that coking coal is more essential to them than to the Poles. The Poles, on the other hand, hold that the section should be di vided along ethnological lines. This system would give them control. Flume Presents Its Plan President Wilson and other mem bers of the Peace Conference have received from the president of the National Council at Fiume, the mayor of the city and members of the House of Deputies, a memoran dum concerning the situation in that town, which expeots its fate to be decided this week. The memoran dum maintains, that upon the disso lution of Austria, Fiume became an independent state, exercising all state functions, as it had notified all governments of Europe and Amer ica. Greek Premier Makes Claims Premier Venizelos. of Greece, was before the supreme council of the Peace Conference at Its session this morning and made a statement on the claims of Greece. The ap pearance of the Greek premier be fore the council was announced in the official statement given out af ter the seselon.

President Wilson last night told deputies and senators In an addres in the Chambers of Depu ties. The President also had for his auditors President Poincare and the personnel of the French cabinet. "France sees." said the President, "that the sacrifices which arc neces sary for the establishment of a so ciety of nations are not to lie com pared with the constant dread of an other catastrophe falling on the fair cities and areas of Frame." The President was accompanied to i the Palais Bourbon by President j Poincare, who called for him at the ! Murat mansion. Paul Deschanel re- i ceived the party on the steps of the i building. V Given Military 'Hnuom Military honors were rendered by | the Republican Guard, resplendent j in new uniforms and their full re-1 Salia. The Presidential party enter- ! ed the chamber amid a fanfare of! bugles and the rolling of drums, j Then the band of the Republican I Guard played the American national! anthem and the Marseillaise, all those inside in the chaniber mean wi*le rising and cheering. M. Deschanel opened the sitting by delivering a short 'but eloquent speech of welcome, to which Presi dent Wilson replied in English, an interpreter translating it into French." As President Wilson walked to ward the tribune, the Deputies. Sen ators and others arose and cheered and applauded for fully Ave minutes. The audienc insisted on hearing the Presidents address standing. Mm. Poincare . Oemenceau and_ Dubost also stood. This seemed to embarrass President Wilson, who made ges tures that the deputies remain seat ed. hut they shouted: "Standing! We will hear you standing!" President Wilson turned to M. Deschanel. begging him to request that the deputies be seated, but the president of the chamber shrugged i his shoulders, as if helpless, and President Wilson began in a low voice". Which gained force as he pro ceeded. Spoke in English There was a ripple of applause now and then as lie was speaking, but the majority of the Deputies and Senators were unable to understand English clearly; thus the enthusiasm did not break out until the interpre ter translated the speech. Then Dep uties and Senators gave full vent to their feelings. President Wilson spoke as follows: "i am keenly aware of the unusual I and distinguished honor you are | paying me by permitting me to meet j you in this place and to address you j from this historic platform. "Indeed, sir, as day has followed | day, and week has followed week in | this hospitable land of France, I have felt the sense of comradeship ever become more and more inti mate, and it has seemed to me that the making of history was becoming singularly clear. "Wo knew before this war began that Era nee anil America wore unit ed in affection. We knew the occa sions which drew the two nations together in those years, which now seem so far away, when the world was first beginning to thrill with the impulse of human liberty, when the soldiers of Franco came to help the struggling little republic of America to get on its feef anil proclaim one of tlic lirst victories of fi-ecdom. "We had never forgotten that, but we did not see the full meaning of it. A hundred years and more .went by, and the spindles were slowing weav ing the web of history. We did not sefc it to be complete, the whole of the design to be made plain. Big Tilings Happen "Now look what has happened! In that far off day when France came to the assistance of America, America was fighting Great Britain. And now she is linked as closely to Great Britain as she is to France. We see now how these apparently diverging lines of history are com ing together. The nations which once stood in battle arfay against one an other are now shoulder to shoulder, fighting a common enemy. "It was a long Hieir people should be happy because they were safe. "They know that the only way to do this is to certain that the same thing will not always happen that has happened this time, that there never shall be any doubt or waiting or surntmise, but that when ever Prance or any free people is threatened the whole world will be ready to vindicate its liberty. "It is for that reason, 1 take it, that 1 find such a warm and intelli gent enthusiasm in France for the society of nations—France with her keen vision, France with her proph etic vision. "It seems to be not only the need of France, but the need of mankind. And France sees the sacrifices which are necessary for the establishment of the society of nations are not to be compared with the constant dread of another catastrophe falling on the fair cities and areas of France." territorial questions to the Peace Conference, that they must refrain from occupying contested territor ies." Feels England Will Yield Premier Venizelos, of Greece, who is asking the Peace Conference for all the Greek islands in the Medi terranean, told the Associated Press to-day that he felt sure England would not refuse to give Cyprus to Greece. The British government, he said, offered the islands to for mer King Constantine In order to Induce Greece to enter the war. The Premier added that he also hoped Italy would give Greece the Dodecanesus Islands. Socialists Agree With Wilson President Wilson, was given an unusual reception by Socialist mem bers at the Chamber of Deputies yesterday afternoon. They tried to drown the applause from the Cen ter and the Right in an apparent attempt to show Mr. Wilson that his ideas were their own. When Cap- the official Interpre ter, who translated President Wil son's address, reached that part of the speech in which Mr. Wilw>n spoke of the Society of Nations, the Socialists rose, shouting "Long live the Society of Nations." some of them adding "Down with war." Dcsctiancl Opens Sitting Paul Deschanel, who opened the sitting, said of the plan for the So ciety of Nations: "Across the chasm of blood and darkness we see the light of the future. We believe that if the En tente, Instead of being formed slowly under the pressure of peril and under the necessities of the mo ment in the shock of battles, could have been instituted long before at The Hague, Germany would never have dared to declare war upon us. We believe that the thirty states which broke relations with Ger many must be the nucleus of a so ciety of nations. We shall continue with all our strength and all our heart to prevent a return to bar barism .gnd to maintain our dear and Illustrious friendship, which shall be no less fruitful in peace than it has been In war."

Feb. 4.—Speaking: before the colonial secretary at Berlin to day, Muth'tas Erzbergcr, one of the Germun armistice commissioners protested against Germany betrig deprived of her colonies, accord ing to a dispatch received here from the German cnpltal. He is reported to have said: "If we no longer have troops or arms, we have our rights. The Al lies liavo accepted Mr. Wilson's 'fourteen points,' as Germany has. Mr. Wilson demanded broad and mtpartial regulation of all colonial questions, but" the Allies are seeking to impose the will of stronger na tions, without taking into account the rights of Germany. "Denrivlng Germany of all her colonies would contain a deadly germ for the league of nutiona even before that league is born. We un derstand it has been proposed to internationalise German . colonies j under the administration of the Lea ,gue of Nations. We ought to cate gorically repel such a proposition, or claim the same treatment for the colonics of all other powers. President Wilson's program gives Germany an ipviolable right to her colonial territories." HOUSE APPROVES DRY AMENDMENT [Continued from First Pago.] ernor and for the amendment, along with all the votes from Yprk, Cum berland, Franklin, Fulton, . Perry, Juniata. other Juniata Valley counties. Lancaster gave four "dry" and one "wet" ex plained. Lebanon voted "Wet." as did Albert Millar and D. 1. Miller, of Millersburg, who seemed to be deaf to the sentiment of this city. Deep-seated Grudges Some of the men here to fight the resolution seemed to have seated grudge ugalnst State Chair man Crow, Lieutenant-Governor Beidleman and W. Harry Baker, who, they said, favored the ratifica tion as party wisdom and to uphold the Governor. But it does not mat ter what they think or do now. Petitions Presented Presentation of several big peti tions favoring ratification of the pro hibition amendment and a remon strance against it marked the open ing of the final action on the amend ment in the lower house of Penn sylvania's legislature to-day. Mr. Fowler, of i-uckawannu, in submit ting the remonstrance, said G5.009 persons had signed it. The petitions j for it came from Westmoreland, Lu 'zerne and other counties. Speaker Spangler, on laying the I resolution before the House, admon ! ished the large audience to preserve | order or he would clear the hall, j i Members were requested to vote in ■ a clear voice so that there would be no mistakes in recording action, f Only one leave of absence was asked, being for Mr. West, Montour. Mr. Vickerman, Allegheny, open ed the discussion with criticism of the opponents for insisting on speak ing on the measure. "1 can't under stand why they want to talk except to pay a last tribute to John Barley corn," he said. He declared the Re publican party and not the liquor in terests was in control of the House and asked his colleagues whether they did not prefer "to follow the leadership of our splendid Governor or a lobby that has come here from all over the state?" Pennsylvania Congressmen "Dry" Mr. Vickerman closed with the statement that Pennsylvania Con gressmen to the number of eighteen had voted for the amendment at Washington and predicted that the General Assembly would back them up. • 104.581 Signers Mr. Ramsey,' Delaware. \>eKan his speech by presenting remonstrances signed by 104,561 Philadelphia voters and a*ked that the members consider the proposition as though no state had ratified the amend ment. He assailed Mr. Vickerman's criticism of the desire to talk and said that Delaware county while giv ing Governor Sproul a record-break ing majority had elected three "wet" representatives. Mr. Ramsey said men had as much right to come here to lobby against the resolution as had unti-iiquor men to lobby for it and appealed to his colleagues to treat the proposi tion regardless of what New York did. "It should be considered from a standpoint of state's rights," he asserted. Mr. Ramsey said legisla , tors should not run to cover at each storm cloud, but exercise their own judgment Property rights he said would be aflqcted and laboring men would ha'/iV some privileges taken away and be Injured most- Ardent spirits were declared re sponsible for much misery by Mr. Showalter, Union, second speaker for the resolution. The proposition to be considered is whether the licensed liquor traffic is injurious to the public welfare said he. Tells of Trade Unionists Many trade unionists and many returning soldiers will be found against the amendment, said Mr. Fowler, of Lackawanna. He de clared the American and State Fed erations of are against the amendment and that people had no trouble getting "red stuff" in "dry" states. The reason Jails are empty ! in the prohibition states is because low bail is accepted, he contended. He also said that in recent months "much conversation" had been taken out of liquor and that It should be let go at that. Men in the industries have a right to come to Harrlsburg and voice opposition to the amendment Just as much as the prohibitionists, insisted Mr. Fowler -who also said former crusaders against the cig aret years ago were out collecting .funds to buy cigarets for soldiers last year. He closed by saying that, oven if he was to be a pallbearer, he Would vote against the resolu tion. Mr. Wallace, Lawrence, said he was going to be "a joyous pallbear er" and said that Mr. Fowler did not have an exclusive right to speak for labor, because Lawrence had a big labor vote. No Favor For Booze '.'Labor in Pennsylvania is not in favor of booze," asserted Mr. Wal lace. "Why. the only way a labor- InK man can lose compensation is by being under the Influence of liquor when hurt. Labor is not efficient when mixed with alcohol. Labor in this state is clean and efficient, and I'm proud of it."

' • Arguments by the liquor people , now contradict those of the last I legislative session, suld Mr. Wallace. , Arguments that looked good somo ! months ago, he said, are "hohsense | now." | The speaker assailed a pamphlet by I). Clarence Glbboney, of Phils 1 | delphia. When a referendum was i asked a few years ago it was denied and prohibition was said to be tbe remedy. "Now they don't want na tional prohibition," said he. "They say It is a state matter." Men who vote against the meas ure to-day will be sorry ten years from now that they ever did it. Senators in Hc/srs During the arguments most of the I Senators came into the House aud i people flocked from Capitol offlces into the hull, tilling the galleries and the lobbies. William Davis. Cambria, made the plea that the desires of soldiers should be considered. Many of them arc out of the country and must, not be ignored. Mr. Davis charged in consistency by advocates of the measure and said that big state rei - enucs were being wiped out without anything being done to replace it. "Why should we follow the ex ample of the South?" asked the Cambria oounty t man. Mr. Jordan, Lawrence, one of the minister members of tl)e House, made the concluding address, speak ing for the resolution, tie asked thht when the vote is over all members would stand shoulder to shoulder for all other good legislation. The Gov ernor, he said,, had declared for ratification and members should vote to uphold him. "My county is over whelmingly industrial, overwhelm ingly dry," said he. "Don't tell me labor has no Ideals. Don't tell me the laboring man has ideals lower than a lawyer or a doctor^" Mr. Gordon said men were putting money not Into booze but automo biles, "arid I'd rather ride in an automobile than in the most beauti ful patrol wagon," he remarked. The speaker said a vote for ratification is "good politics" and pleaded with the "wets" to "look into the future," He asked if Pennsylvania in this time is going to turn its back on the spirit Of 1776 and 1863.
