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.

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.

persons were killed in the big wind
storm that swept the city early to
day. Miss Rose McDermott, 85 years

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.
