LOOSE STANDARD RESPONSIBLE FOR DISEASE SPREAD State Health Department to Wage Campaign Against Ravages of Illness Insidious diseases caused by loose living standards are to be stamped out in Pennsylvania, according to plans for a campaign to be waged by the State Health Department, an nounced in an address before the Harrisburg Academy of Medicine by Major S. Leon Gans. recently re turned from organization service in the United States Army, and now director of the genito-urinary di vision of the State Health Depart ment. It is planned, said Major Gans, to establish stations in various parts of the State to fight these diseases. Two camps will be established some where in the State where members of the Health Department and nurses will be educated as to sani tation and other phases of disease combat. The camps are to continue for two weeks, and Major Gans said as far as he knew they are the first of their kind to be estab. lished anywhere. The question of handling these diseases is not only a health meas ure but an economic- measure as well, he said. "If we can elimi nate a certain disease from Penn sylvania we would need but one in sane asylum in the State." Controlled in Array To illustrate the peril of these dis eases Major Gans set forth lhat eighty-five per cent, of the civilians coming into a certain camp were in fected. When they were under con trol, the total dropped to fifteen per cent. He called on the people of the State to hack the campaign. "This State was first in the medical re serve work. Now we want her to be first in this campaign. Pennsyl vania's not afraid to do anything w hen she knows it's right." Many drastic measures are to be taken to stamp out the disease, he explained. A prophylactic station will be opened in Pittsburgh April 1. Other stations are to be estab lished throughout the State. Also 16,000 signs in frames will be hung in certain public places, warning the people about the perils ,of loose moral standards. The citizens are to be educated up to better standards of living and every effort is to be made by the State officials to com pletely check the ravages of the dreade diseases. Following; Major Gan's address, doctors present took part in a dis cussion of the program he set forth. I)r. H. R. Douglas, president of the Academy of Medicine, presided.

SATURDAY EVENING, AIR SERVICE FOR ENGLAND IS PLANNED Fifteen War Planes Will Carry Both Freight and Passengers I 'ljondon, March 29. —Just as soon as aircraft regulations have been de finitely arranged by the peace con ference, an airplane passenger and freight service will be inaugurated between the principal cities of Eng land and the continent, it is an nounced. It will be an experiment only insofar as the whims of the public are concerned, as the fifteen machines to be used all saw more trying service in niglit bombing work during the latter months of the war. There is no doubt in the minds of the promoters that the project will be popular at first among those who enjoy adventure and are not hampered by lack of funds but, in making the announcement of the new service, F. Handley Page said that his company wanted to put tne service purely on a business basis and that charges would not be out of reach of the average merchant who might want goods transported quickly or make quick trips in Eu rope. Announcement of the plans was made simultaneously with the first public exhibition of a passenger carrying airplane in 1-ondon. The plane is one of the night bombers with the fuselage equipped to ac commodate seventeen passengers. It saw service over German cities but appeared much different on ex hibition. Huge glass windows had been cut into the sides of the fuse lage showing the saloon fitted with heavily upholstered leather chairs lined on each side of the carriage with a narrow isle between. Space is provided for sixteen passengers inside. The seventeenth one sits outside in the very "bow" of the machine in the seat formerly occu pied by a gunner. Philadelphia Situation Is Not Yet Composed Capitol Hill was discussing to-day with considerable interest the Phila delphia situation, in view of Senator Penrose's declaration last night that there would be "no deal" or compro mise with the Vares on charter re vision or the mayoralty. Linked up with this was the state ment that a bill for the metropolitan , police lorce to take care of Philadel phia and its suburbs was to appear, and that it would replace the John R. K. Scott legislation and take police-' men and firemen out of politics. Tho| name of Colonel John C. Groome, hi ad of the State police department, who is on leave of absence of Armv |Sfrvice, would organize and direct the force. This would confirm reports that the Colonel was gMng to retire as head of the State Police force and that new officials would bo named to organize it under the terms of the Powell hills for a new troop and to create the bureau .of fire protection and records. Another interesting report was that the opponents of the bill to repeal the non-pat tisan feature or the third class city election laws were demanding a hearing. . This bi'l does not have much chance since Senator Penrose said that he opposed any changes in election laws. The hearing, however, will Itke'v take place during the coming week. Y. M. C.

MANY MEMBERS JOIN COMMERCE BODY IN DRIVE | Campaign to Line Up Busi nessmen For Organiza tion Is Successful | The Membership Committee of the : Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, which is conducting a campaign for new members, has reported highly satisfactory progress as a result of the first day of the campaign. The drive will continue until next Thurs day noon. The purpose of the campaign is to extend the membership of the Cham ber to a list of desirable prospects, who have been listed as eligible for membership. This list of prospects is limited. Several progressive business men who were interviewed by member ship canvassers this morning, ex pressed their intention of joining the Chamber in no uncertain terms. "I have been doing business in Harrisburg long enough to know that it is the right kind of a town to live in," was the way a • lerchant who joined the Chamber to-day re ported his sentiment on the subject, "and I feel that by withholding my membership from the Chamber. I am shirking an obligation. I derive ad vantages from the good things the Chamber is accomplishing in Harris burg, and feel, moreover, that the amount of prosperity Harrisburg has accorded me, makes it :ly duty to join the organization in order to do what I can for Harrisburg." A number of representative pros pects told -the canvassers that they had always considered the Chamber of Commerce membership limited to a certain number, and were decidedly pleased when informed they wore eligible for membership. Gale of 30 Miles an Hour Will Abate This Evening, When Mercury Will Go Up A fierce gale, blowing between twenty-five and thirty miles an hour, continued to play havoc throughout the city to-day. The wind will die down to-night an<j warmer weather will come to-mor row, Forecaster Demain says. A portion of the tin roof of the State Printery building, at Tenth and Mulberry streets, was blown off, roofs were torn from smaller out buildings, a large tree is down at Sixteenth and Berryhill streets and branches are strewn over all com munities with shade trees. I This morning the strong winds blew in a big eight by ten feet plate glass window at the Crystal res taurant. A number of additional wires of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company were torn down. This company especially suffered, wires and poles being blown down in many sections of the city. For a time lasl evening, four light cir cuits, supplying more than one-half of the residential district, were out of service. Linemen were and are being kept busy in their repair work. Eight poles were blown over the Valley Railways tracks at Church town, delaying traffic considerably.

SAYS KARLUCK WAS EQUIPPED FOR ARCTIC TRIP ; Captain Pedersen Denies Ves sel Was Responsible For Loss of Life By Associated Press. ! San Francisco, March 29. While i making ready the steamer "ller- Iman," on which he will sail for the ! Arctic on April 2, Captain C. T. Pe i dersen met Vilhjalmar Stcfansson, , the explorer, here yesterday for the first time since 1912 when Pedersen was engaged by Stcfansson to navi gate the ill-fated steamer Karluk ; before the command was turned ; over to Captain Robert A. Bart : lett. I With the meeting was cleared a misunderstanding of which, it ; proves, Captain Pedersen was the i innocent and unsuspecting author and the explorer the victim us the ; result of an interview ascribed to j Pedersen in which Stefansson was ! made to appear responsible for the loss of the Karluk. Denies Alleged Statement "Since the destruction of the Kar luk in the ice in 1914 when eleven members of her crew of twenty-five men perished," said Mr. Stefansson, "I have been held more or less re sponsible for their deaths, especially among the friends and relatives of those who were lost. Among the criticisms has been one to the effect that the Karluk was unsuited for the work called for. Among those who recommended the Karluk and on whose judgment I relied in the purchase of the vessel was Captain Pedersen. i- "It was with surprise, to say the least, that 1 read, a short time after the disaster, an interview in which Captain Pedersen was quoted as say ing that had ho been in command of the Karluk he would have handled the ship exactly as had been done by Bartlett. After the la.pse of six years I met Captain Pedersen to day to find that he never had made any such statement. Steamed Out Into Pack Captain Pedersen, who for the last twenty-four years has been making an annual trip to the Actio, is rated among the most competent of the Pacific ice navigators. In speak ing of the loss of the Karluk, he said to-day: "No ship that T know of was bet ter suited than the Karluk for the work In hand. In Pacific Arctic navigation, the safe method is to keep one's vessel between the ice and the shore. 1 am told the Kar luk, instead of remaining in the shel ter of the heavy shore ice, steamed twenty miles out into the pack, which in my opinion was suicidal, where she was hemmed in. "To ascribe any of the blame for the loss of the Karluk therefore to Mr. Stefansson would be most un just." Clergymen to Plan For Victory Loan at Luncheon One of the most unique meetings held in the interest of any of the Liberty Loans is that scheduled for Monday at 12.30 at the Pen-Harris Hotel when every clergyman in Dauphin, Perry and Juniata counties will be guests at a luncheon to he given by Donald McCormick and Flavel Wright, members of the Vic tory Liberty Loan committee for this district. "It may be," said Mr. Wright this morning, "that we have overlooked some few clergymen in the three counties. If so we wish they would get into touch immediately with Mr. McCormick or myself." Only eight laymen have been in vited to the meeting. One of these is Governor Sproul, and the Gov- I ernor has said that if it is "in the | wood" he will certainly be present, i The clergymen are going to talk Victory Liberty Loan matters; and inasmuch as it will be the first time for a number of years that they have all got together some other matters of importance may be taken j up.

GERMANS WANT DETAIL ABOUT HALLER'S ARMY Allied Demand For Passage of Poles Through Dan zig Frowned Upon bcrlin, March 29. —General Nu dant, representing Marshal Fodu on Wednesday submitted a note to the German government demanding a pass age through Danzig for the Tolish divi sions under General Haller, which are a part of the allied army, and permis sion for their further march to Poland to maintain order. The note added that any refusal would he regarded as a breach of the armistice. The German government, nfter ex haustive deliberations by the party leaders, laid down its standpoint in a note of reply which asserts that, accord ing to the nrtnistice treaty, it was only obliged to grant the allies free access to the Vistula to maintain order in territories of the former Russian empire. In concluding the treaty, the govern ment declares, it proceeded in any case from the standpoint that there could be no question of Polish troops. Refers to Paderewski The note then refers to incidents dur ing the journey of Ignace Jan Pader ewski. the Polish premier, "who. grossly violating the hospitality accorded hint on German soil, gave the signal for re volt and civil war and who. when he was in Danzig in December. 191. said: 'lf the Polish divisions from France and Italy should he in Danzig, then Danzig and all west Prussia would be Polish.' " Proceeding, the note refers to nu merous demonstrations by the German majority in West Prussia who wish to resist Polish attacks by force, and says that by such civil warfare the German eastern front against Russian Bolshev ism will he endangered. In conclusion the communication asks for information as to the composition and strength of General Haller's army, the date of its landing and transit of Poland, and what guarantees the allies can offer that General Haller's army, or a portion of it. will not participate in Polish demonstrations or a possible in surrection of the Polish minority. Paper Fears Outcome The Lokal Anzeiger thinks that a se rious situation has arisen through the exchange of notes between General Xudant and the German government. While it does not abandon hope that General Nudant will accept the German reply as a concession the newspaper fears that his note has no other aim than to deliver Danzig to the Poles, and counsels the government not to yield nn inch. The Zeitung Am Mittag accuses the Entente statesmen of having had their brains addled by the occurrences in Hungary. RI It AI.
