FRANCE IN NEED
OF YANKEE GOODS
W. P. Starkey Declares Eng
land Will Be Able to Look
After Her Own Markets
Predicting that France would have
to come to America tor billions of
dollars worth of supplies, but that
England would take care of its needs
in its own labor markets, William
P. Starkey, general superintendent
of the H&rrisburg Pipe and Pipe
Bending Company, discussed labor
conditions abroad upon his return
yesterday from a four months' stay
overseas.
American labor is fifty per cent,
more efficient than British labor, he
said. Tho American workmen are
mora patriotic than the English
workmen, he added. He ran into a
strike at Glasgow and another at
London. Labor conditions are very
unsettled. He told how he saw wo
men doing the hardest kind of man
ual labor iu foundries and factor
ies.
The food supply is very low in
England, he said. Food restrictions
still are enforced, and the first time
he ate any sugar was when he visit
ed the Grand Fleet. At London's
greatest hotel, butter was served
only at breakfast.
"The British people have a great
sentiment for America," he said,
adding that they feel the Americans
won the war. During the war rail
roads conserved coal, to bring more
Americans overseas, and the Eng
lish were willing to undergo almost
any hardships to get the Yanks on
the front.
Mr. Starkey visited the huge mills
in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland.
He was accompanied on his trip by
Joseph A. Steinmetz. of Philadel
phia. a director in the National Re
search Council. They also visited
the Grant Fleet, and inspected the
machinery of the great battleships.
They made an inspection of the U
TO. "one of the captured L'-boats.
l.ater they made a trip to the West
ern battlefront and visited Verdun.
"Oh! What a Rel ie f
After Years of Torture"
Says William Loy, a well-known
bricklayer, of 306 South Fifth street,
Reading, Pa. "I have been a suf
ferer for years with pains in my
back and a disordered stomach, had
night sweats and would itch so at
nights I could not sleep, which,- no
doubt, caused my nervous condition.
Eventually my system was run
down to such a degree I broke out
with boils, due to general run-down
condition of my blood.
"I have spent hundreds of dol
lars trying to get relief, but no medi
cine 1 ever took gave me the relief
Tonall has in such a short time.
Boils, nervousness and pains in my
back and that tired feeling are all
things of the past."
This testimonial was given Feb.
15, 1919.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' drug
store, Harrisburg. and all leading
drug stores in Eastern Pennsylvania.

THRILL HEARERS
Signorina Eufemia Gianninni
and Company in Notable
Concert at Orpheum _
Vyieclad hills, sunny skies, trilling
birds and glowing passion were in
the minds of several hundred people
who braved an unpleasant evening
to get to tho Orpheum theater
where Signorina Eufemia Gianninni,
lyric soprano; Signor F. A. Gian
ninni, tenor; Vittorio Gianninni,
violinist, and Signorina Elizabeth
Donato, ptaniste, appeared in a con
cent program of much merit last
night. The audience largely was
made up of the compatriots of the
musicians, who gave ample proof of
their friendliness and admiration.
It mattered not that at ono point
in the program an enthusiastic
listener, thrilled by a particularly
high and resonant tone of the star
of the evening, burst into single
handed applause even though Sig
norina Gianninni had not at the time
reached her climax In the immortal
"Cavatina," from Verdi's "La
Traviata." did it make any dif
ference Tjgien a solemn-looking
emerged from the wings
to lower the top of the piano, an
other seat-holder, for whoso act
there was ample precedence, start
ed to applaud the performance of
this humble, though quite necessary
function. Happily, he was alone in
his proof of approval.
There never has been any question
about the distinguished ability of
one G. Puccini to write florid and
entrancing melody, and there was
no question cither of the ability, in
a most gratifying artistic sense, of
the singers to interpret what G.
Puccini wrote, but G. Puccini's mu
sic failed to bring nearly the amount
of applause from the audience that
the flowing, appealing music of one
Guiseppe Verdi, two of whose num
bers were used, inspired.
There was not a dull moment on
the program which, happily, for
those of American birth, contained
several songs in tlieir own language.
For instance, Signorina Gianninni
was kind enough to sing "Some
where a Voice Is Calling." known
almost everywhere, and Signor
Gianninni sang a very pleasing bal
lad. the composition of the violinist.
Vittoria Gianninni. "Only in
Dreams," together with several oth
er more or less engaging American
songs.
Of course. Signorina Gianninni
was at her best in the Verdi "Cav
atina." although she arose to artis
tic heights in the Comez duet with
Signor Gianninni. both voices deep
ly thrilling their hearers in the
climax of "Sento una Forza" from
"The Guarny." Signor Gianninni,
too, touched a tender place in the
hearts of the audience when he sang
two patriotic songs, "The Yankee
Boys in Italy" and "When Our Boys
Come Sailing Home."
Signorina Donato played splendid
ly in the liszt arrangement of the
quartet from Verdls "Rigolettof
The young pianiste was exceedingly
good to look upon and the bright
ness of her countenance when she
smiled warmed all hearts toward
her. She played the "Scherzo, Opus
31." of Chopin's with breadth and
musicianly conception and she was
thoroughly capable in her accom
paniments with the other artists on
the program. The audience appre
ciated her work so much that at the
end of the Liszt-Verdi number she
was given a cluster of beautiful
flowers, the gift being preceded by
an outburst of applause that must
have compensated her performance
of the difficult work she had set her
hands to throughout the program.
Vittorio Gianninni was a most sat
isfactory violinist, his playing of
Guirand's "Allegro Appassionate."
Rehfeld's "Spanish Dance" and his
own "Passing Serenade" being quite
out of the ordinary avenue of offer
ings by performers on the violin.
In the obligato to Signorina Gian
ninni's singing of Thurlow Lieur
ance's "By the "Waters of Minne
tonka," the young man showed
genuine sympathy and compelling
praise.
Governor Sproul Urges
a Day For the Poles
"For a century and a quarter the
people of Poland have been the vic
tims of military agression from hos
tile nations on all sides of their na
tive land, and have been humiliated
and injured by seeing their country
partitioned by their enemies and
their people separated and forced
to abide under foreign rulers.
"The proud and courageous Polish
race, with devotion to their own
noble traditions and racial ties, have
nevertheless maintained a national
spirit through all these years, al
though scattered in various lands
and under different flags. Many
thousands of them have come to
this country where they have been
among our most valued citizens,
springing to the defense of this land
of their adoption and of the princi
ples of freedom and civilisation when
America called to them to join in the
great war.
"The people of the United States,
and especially of Pennsylvania,
where so many Americans of Polish
birth or descent have settled, have
a deep interest in the fate of Poland
and a reverent hope that she may
come through the unsettlement of
nations and the chaos of races which
now is in evidence in Europe, a
strong and united nation, with a free
government and the deserved liberty
for which her loyal people have
awaited through generations.
"I would, therefore, respectfully
suggest that we set aside Sunday,
March 2, as Polish Day, in the hope
that our people, through public
meetings and in other ways, may
show their interest in the welfare of
Poland, their appreciation of the pa
triotic services of our Polish fellow
citizens in the world's crisis, and
their hope that Poland may attain
her national aspirations speedily and
effectively. It is to be hoped that
ways and means may be devised for
such encouragement as may seem
expedient for Poland's people in their
efforts for the establishment of a
Polish nation."

make this nation wide sacrifice for
the general welfare of the govern

Commission in ordering the Lehigh

Wilkes-Barre and Towanda. The
decision was given in the case of
Henry J. Schadd against the Lehigh

another complaint after the crisis

is held that some relief should be
accorded now.
