BIG BREWERIES
TO MAKE ICE FOR
"DRY" NATION
Icc Manufacturers Vote to
Meet Here Regu
larly
More than twenty breweries of
large sine, in the State will be turn
ed into ice manufacturing plants.
Despite this, the shortage of ice will
he great. A prominent ice manu
facturer attending the sessions of
the Association of Ice Manufactur
ers of Pennsylvania made this fore
cast in an interview last evening.
The manufacturer presented the
cheering news that in his lbellef
there will be no advance in the price
of ice this year. He emphasized that
the association is not formed for the
purpose of raising prices or of dis
cussing them. "We are banded to
gether for mutual protection; for
careful keeping in touch with all
bills introduced into the State Legis
lature which will effect ou interests:
for the perpetuation of the spirit of
co-operation among the ice manu
facturers of the Keystone State, and
the conducting of an efficient cam
paign for lower tire and workmen's
compensation rates.
The closing feature of the conven
tion at which organization was ef
fected, was the. first annual banquet
held in the Penn-Harris ballroom
last night. "It will be the policy
of this administration during the
next four yenrs to spend at least a
hundred million dollars on good
roads and other improvements,"
Lieutenant-Governor JO. E. Beidle
man told the banqueters. He oppos
ed a tlat 25 per cent, increase in
teachers salaries, explaining that
some teachers who are now receiv
ing live and six thousand dollars a
year don't need a tlat raise, while
the poor, struggling county teach
ers do need this raise. He express
ed confidence that the increase will
be taken care of fairly.
Senator Clarence J. Buckman fol
lowed with a brief talk. "I do not
believe the present session of the
Legislature will continue long," lie
said. "We haven't accomplished
much and I don't believe we will
because this is not the time for har
assing. We want to work on recon
struction."
The, members of the association
were so much delighted with the
kindly treatment accorded them by
the management and employes of
the Penn-Harris and the people of
Harrisburg, that they voted the Capi
tal City their permanent annual
meeting place. It is probable that
semiannual meetings will be held in
some other city of the State. Plans
to this effect will be worked out later.

SATISFY GERMANS
Upon Delivery of Ships, Allies Will Undertake to Re
victual Them Until the Next Harvest—To Pay
in Coal, Potatoes and Other Products
By Associated I'rcss
Paris, March B.—The council of
the great powers took action to-day
toward relieving the rather acute
situation created by the interruption
of the negotiations at Spa concern
ing the taking over of Germun ships
and supplying Germany with food.
! At a conference yesterday between
I David Lloyd George, the British pre
mier, M. Clemenceau, the Erencli
prime minister, and Colonel Edward
M. House, of the American peace
delegation, a resolution drawn by
Lord Robert Cecil, member of the
British peace commission, was ten
tatively approved for adjusting the
affairs. This resolution provides that
.on the delivery of the ships the al
lies shall undertake to revictual the
Germans until the next harvest, pay
ment being made In coal, potatoes,
nitrate and other products which
Germany has and the allies want.
Export Settlement
The agreement reached between
the British, French and Amerclan
members of the council leads to the
expectation that the council will ac
cept the settlement to-day and that
the negotiations at Spa will be re
sumed.
The council yesterday took final
action on food relief measures for
Bohemia and other sections of Aus
tria which had been interrupted by
the closing of the frontier by the
Italians. A committee was named
on which Dr. Silvio Crespi, the Ital-

was given to William German of
the Harrisburg Gas Company, a
cousin of John German, Jr., scout
master of Troop 13 who entertained
the big gathering of boys with an
illustrated lecture on a fishing and
camping trip through Canada, which
was thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. Ger
man took great pains in presenting
this splendid lecture so that the boys
would fully realize the delightful
jd.easures of a camping trip. An
other feature of the evening was a
treat of looking at the planets
through a large telescope on the
roof of the Boyd building, conduct
ed by Mr. William Jacobs, an attor
ney, of this city. The night was
ideal for the occasion and the boys
were more than pleased to have a
look at the far distant stars—The
company then proceded from the
gymnasium room in marching order
to the dining room where refresh
ments were served. Mr. Frank J
Consul mpai expressed his pleasure
for the very excellent evening the
Clover cla.")s had through the court
esy of the scouts and scoutmaster of I
