By Associated Press
Paris, Feb. 6.—The close per
sonal study he has made of con
ditions in Germany has con
vinced Lieutenant Colonel
Searle Harris, of the United
States medical reserve corps,
that the German people are
actually starving. He has just
returned to Paris from a visit to
Germany and says that whije a
superficial view of the country
gives the impression that the
war has not hurt Germany, that
country, in hig opinion, has suf
fered more than any other.
Studying the situation as a physi
cian. Lieutenant Colonel Harris
found that many persons, particu
larly children, were very anemic, as
they were not getting enough to eat
Land of Cemeteries
Germany is a land of cemeteries, ;
hospitals and starvation, he said. •
Xo one knows the number of casual-j
ties in the war. and in his belief no j
one will ever know.
Colonel Harris estimates that thej
casualties vary from a million and I
a half to three million killed and j
twice as many wounded.
Colonel Searle Harris says that j
the German nation is bankrupt, thej
people are actually starving, aW j
that "probably no one will ever know
the number of casualties suffered j
by Germany during the war."
"There are no eggs, no milk and
only half a pound of beet sugar for
each person a month," he says, in
giving details of the situation. "Shop
girls have lost from ten to forty
five pounds in weight, while every
one shows a lack of vitality. I found
children going to school shod with
paper sandals or with cloth shoes to
which wooden soles had been at
tached.
"Xo one knows the composition of
the black, gritty bread that is being i
issued in limited quantities by;
ticket. Tuberculosis is increasing,
and skin diseases due to lack of I
nourishment and lack of soap are!
prevalent. One beneficial result of!
the low diet which has been en-'
forced upon the German people is*'
found in the fact that it. has helped |
many who were overeaters. Bright's;
disease has decreased and diabetes!
.has disappeared. There is no more!
gout in Germany, but on the other!
hand, intestinal diseases have greatly,
increased. These are attributed to
coarse bread. Beer that is being,
sold has no substance."
Conditions which he had found in I
Germany have led Bieut. Colonel;
Harris to the opinion, he says, that'
many women and children will die!
or become defectives if not supplied l
with food.
"The German who overran t
France," lie says, "should be pun-!
ished and permitted to starve, butj
not the women and children, i
Hungry men and women do not!
make good neighbors.
Camp Hill Fire Laddies
Take Back Their Engine
The exhibition of the Camp Hill ,
chemical fire apparatus "to show,
'"amp Hill residents how hopelessly I
inadequate is the apparatus" closed |
last evening, when several members j
of the fire company dragged the'
heavy affair back to the engine- j
house.
By the aid of some of the firemen '
and a kind astoist the engine was
taken to a fire in I.ong street early
Monday morning, but by the time
the firemen and their apparatus ar
rived the fire was out. No persons
volunteered to take it back and it i
remained on the corner of Market
and Bong streets during the sue-,
needing days and until last night so
that the citizens might realize vvAiat
position their borough would be in
if a real fire were to occur and to!

An idea of the popularity gained by Aviator Walter Shaffer through
bis interesting letters from France, as published in the Harrisburg Tele
graph, can be had from the manner in which the advance sale of seats
is going for his appearance at the Orpheum Theater next Monday even
ing, when, as the central figurh of a big patriotic gathering, he will deliver
a talk "Over the Heads of the Huns." Lieutenant-Governor Beidle
man will preside at the meeting and introduce the Dauphin boy, who at
his own expense took flying lessons and went to France before Fncle Sam
was in the war. The Liberty Singers will provide patriotic music.
Shaffer's friends feel that the city should turn out a-big ccpwdaWMi
testimonial to him, for, besides risking his life as a volunteer to light Ger
many. Shaffer every penny of his savings to become an aviator.
He took flying lessons at J1 a minute, broke one of his first machines, for
which he had to pay. and later defrayed his own expenses to get to France'.
LESSER NATIONS GET
PEACE BOARD PLACES
• " - ri
Nineteen Small Belligerents Granted Nine Seats
to Ten For Five Great Powers; American
Supervision Proposed For Ottomans
By .Associated Press
%
Paris. Feb. 6.—The Society of
Nations commission of llio Peace
Conference lias virtually cover
ed one-third of its tusk, it was
officially announced Ibis after
noon.
Agreement, the statement
adds, has been reached on the
principles underlying the wdmlc
draft for a society of nations.
At its session the commission
discussed articles dealing with
the motives behind the I'orrrih
tion of a society, the objects
which will safeguard the con
stitution of its chief organs and
the qualifications for member
ship.
Paris, Feb. 6. —Positive stsps
for * reconciling differences be
tween the greater and lesser
nations at the peace conference, be
gun yesterday, are continuing to
day. In addition to winning four
additional places on th ecommission
on the Society of Nations, it seems
probable the lesser powers will also
be granted adequate representation
in the executive body of the Society
as well as the lgislative sections. The
smaller powers are insisting on be
ing given a greater voice in the so
ciety. Plans under consideration are
being revised to meet the situation.
When the commission on the so
ciety of Nations meets to-night rep
resentatives of Poland, Rumania,
Greece and Czecho-Slovakia will be
present together with those of
China, Brazil, Belgium, porUigal and
Serbia and the five grear powers.
President* Wilson expects to be pres
ent every night this weke as lie re
gards the work of framing the plan
for the Society of Nations as ex
tremely important.
Nineteen small belligerent nations
won definite recognition yesterday
from the Supreme Council of the
Peace Conference, which granted
four additional seats on the commis
sion of the Society of Nations to
lesser countries. This gives the
small Powers nine scats on the com
mission, which will frame the plan
for the Society, anil ten seats to the
live great Powers,
According to the decision the
smaller powers of Poland, Rumania,
Czecho-Slovakia and Greece will hold
additional seats. This concession to
lesser nations became known last
night following a long session of
the comrpission on the Society of Na
tions, which President Wilson at
tended. It was, apparently, received
with satisfaction by the smaller
powers, which felt their representa
tion lo lie -inadequate.
Bast night's session.of the commis
sion lasted from 8.30 until after 11
o'clock, the chief point discussed
being the constitution of tlie execu
tive body of the Society of Nations.

PREDICTS MORE
BUSINESS THAN
EVER. FOR, 1919
Clothing Expert Savs Soldier
Trade Alone Will Boom
Textile Industry
MINIMUM BY IST. OF JULY
Unsettled Conditions Will Not
Last Long, Says This
Businessman
Brilliant prospects for 1919 as a
business year, especially in the
men's wear and drygoods' line gen
erally, are held oul by A.
Schleiser, representative of the As
sociated Dry Goods Dealers, who is
in this city on business. Trade dur
ing the will be unprecedented
fo'r volume in the annals of this busi
ness, is the substance of his fore-
cast. ,
Many reasons contribute to this
in Mr. Schleiser's opinion. Chief of
these, however, is that the dealers,
and even the ultimate consumer
have been buying considerably short
during the past several years, due
largely to the unsettled conditions
during these times. With lower
prices bound to come within several
months, tlie demanji before the Xew
Year will break all bounds.
Competition promises to be a larg
er factor in this boosting of busi
ness. With the greater amount of
raw materials released for domestic
civilian wear and with more of the
factories again turning tljeir atten
tion to this kind ol' trade, a larger
amount of goods will bo on the mar
ket. and competition in such cases
always is keen.
In \cod of Clothes
The consumer promises to buy ex
! ceptionaly large amounts of clothing

| firms. Many soldiers returning again
I to civilian life must be entirely new
|ly outfitted. In the few instances
I where they still have clothing, re-
I main from their former civilian days,
j they have outgrown it and it is of
practically no value to them. Other
civilians, some of whom expected an
early call to military service when
the armistice put an end to liostilites.
have sparse supplies. Few are the
men who have not permitted their
wardrobes to become smaller than
ordinary because of the high prices
that had prevailed,
j Many of the factories were han
| dicapped during the war for the
: lack of sufficient forces of labor. The
j war conditions seri(*usly depleted
their forces and while substitutes
! performed quite capably, the ma
chinery did not turn with its former
I efficiency. These conditions are now
i<>eing rapidly remedied.
Minimum in July
1 Trade in the men's wear and dry
j goods line will continue sluggish for
! several months as yet Mr. Schleiser
• believes. Unsetled conditions will ac-
I count for thfs. The dealers will con
j tinue to buy in small quantities for
.several months and consumers will
i not buy much more clothing than
\ need, for immediate uje, hoping
for an early drop in prices.
Trices for the year 1919 are ex
jpected to reach what will be almost
j their minimum figure some time in
i.fyily, and about that time trade in
j the dry goods line is expected to be-
I come quite brisk. From then until
i the close of tlie year tratfe will con
; tinue with even greater vfcjor than it
i died before the war, Mr. Schleiser
I added.
