TUESDAY EVENING,
EX-GERMAN PRINCE
HAS BROKEN BONES
By Associated Press.
Amsterdam, April B.—Former
German Crown Prince Frederick
William is suffering from a brok
en hand and wrist as a result of a
motorcycle accident. He was
riding in company with an offi
cial of the Dutch Ministry of
Communications and turned a
corner too sharply, the machine
crashing into a gate, according to
a Wieringen dispatch to the Han
delsblad.
plainly from the city last evening,
and attracted the attention of hun
dreds of persons.
It is believed that slightly more
than four hundred acres of land has
been burned over, but all of this has
been swept by flames many times.
On the south side of the mountain
land of H. S. Miller and of the
George Alleman estate has been
burned while on the north side the
flames are on land of Albert Seldel,
of Marysville. The Are is burning to
day only on the Alleman and Seidel
lands. The acreage burned over in
cludes 150 owned by Miller: 130 of
the Alleman estate and slightly more
than 100 owned by Seidel.
The tire first broke out on Sun
day afternoon and burned quite
fiercely during the night, creating
considerable interest in this city
from which the flames were quite
visible. The flames had been gotten
fairly under control yesterday, but
got away from the lire fighters when
the wind freshened yesterday. Care
less arbutus hunters are blamed for
the original flame.
There is no forest fire burning in
the neighborhood of Duncannon, as
has been erroneously reported. The
forest fire that has been seen from
this city is near Bella Vista,
in Cumberland county, approximate
ly ten miles from Duncannon. Three
mountains intervene between the
burning land and the Perry county
town.

What's it worth to you to have

What's it worth to you to have

The citizens of Harrisburg,
during the Victory Loan com
paign which begins April 28 will
have an opportunity to answer
this question to the boys them
selves.
Chairman Andrew S. Patter
son, of the Harrisburg Victory
Loan committee, proposes to en
list the services of hundreds of
returned soldiers in the cam
paign for the sale of the fifth
and last Liberty Bonds.
With the announcement yesterday

soldiers returned from France and

These soldiers will have some per
plexing questions to put to persons
who cannot see their way clear to
purchase Victory Bonds.
SOVIET ARMY IS
LOOKED TO FOR AID
[Continued from First Page.]
Germany, and the resumption
of a "brotherly connection" with
the Russian and Hungarian
peoples is announced in the
proclamation of the new Soviet gov
ernment for Bavaria, formed here.
"Long live the world revolution!"
the proclamation concludes.
The text of the document reads:
"The decision arrived at for Ba
varia is the formation of a council
of the republic of revolutionary
workers and peasants of* Bavaria,
including all our brothers, now
united, separated by no party laws.
From now on no exploitation or op
pression will be tolerated. The dic
tatorship of the proletariat has now
become a fact. The legalization of
a genuine socialistic community now
is achieved, in which every working
man may participate in public life
and in a just socialistic age.
"The lantag has been dissolved
and the old ministry retired. Peo
ples commissaries, responsible to
the people and chosen by a council
of the working people, will receive
extraordinary powers to be employ
ed in certain labor fields. Their as
sistants will be intelligent men from
all parts of the revolutionary and
socialistic community. Countless
valuable forces of officialdom, espe
cially from the lower middle official
class, will be asked to co-operate in
the new work. The bureaucratic
system will be absolutely eliminated
and the press will be socialized.
"As a protection for the Bavarian
council of the republic against revo
lutionary attacks from without and
within, a Red army will be created
immediately and revolutionary court
will pursue ruthlessly every attempt
upon the ouncil.
"The government of the Bavarian
council republic follows the exam
ple of the Hungarian and Russian
peoples. It will resume immediately
a brotherly connection with these
peoples but it declines any connec
tion with the contemptuous Ebert-
Scheidemann government because
that government is continuing under
the flag of a socialistic republic the
imperialistic, capitalistic and mili
tary business of the disgraceful,
broken down German empire. It
calls upon all German brothers to
take the same view. It greets all
proletarians wherever revolutionary
socialism is fighting—in Wurttcm
berg, in the Ruhr district, in the
whole world.
Establishes Wide Holiday
"As a sign of joyous hope for a
fortunate future for all humanity it
establishes April 7 as a holiday for
all humanity, as a sign of the be
ginning of the departure, the flight
of the age of capitalism, all work is
stopped. Bavaria ceases, on April
7, insofar as it is not necessary for
the welfare of the working people,
to do labor.
"Long live free Bavaria! Long
live the council government! Long
live the world revolution!"
Spartacan Loaders in Control
Copenhagen, April B.—A political
movement of great importance is
imminent in the region of Ham
burg, reports from Berlin say. Doc
tors Herz and Hauffenberg, Spar
tacan leaders, it is added, have al
most succeeded in making them--
selves masters of the situation and
in converting Hamburg and the re
gion between Hamburg and Bre
men into a Soviet republic.
Protests against the formation of
the Soviet government, voiced at a
political meeting in Bamberg, north
ern Bavaria, are reported in dis
patches from that city. Deputies
of all the Bourgeolse parties of the
three Franconian governments upper,
lower and middle Franconja, met In

mous protest against the proclama
tion of the new regime at Munich.
"The whole population of north
ern Bavaria," reads the protest, "is
warned against allowing itself to be
intimidated through fear of a van
ishing minority, mainly consisting of
persons predominantly of a foreign
face.
"Bavaria is on the edge of a
precipice, and if it is not preserved
from a downfall everything is lost.
Bavaria will then become the prey
of fratricide, plundering and famine.
A further consequence will be the
complete collapse of economic life.
Foreign countries will refuse food
and assistance to a Bolshevik Ba
varia and help from Russia and
Hungary is out of the question, as
they are tortured by famine.

countrymen, and not foreigners who
a few months ago knew nothing of
Bavaria and who are indifferent to
your fate."

WOULD CHECK
SALE OF HABIT
FORMING DRUGS
Bill Introduced in Senate Last
Night by Allegheny
Senator
One of the most draslic regulatory
measures yet introduced to stop the
sale of dangerous drugs was intro
duced in the Senate last night by
Senator Leslie, Allegheny.
The bill would prohibit the sale of
all habit-producing drugs, with nit a
physician's prescription. The pres
ent acc forbids the sale of opium
and cocaine and their derivities.
A prominent official in the Bureau
of Drug Control, made the following
statement concerning the measure
this morning.
"For a iondr time the Bureau of
Drug Control has been hampered in
its offoits to regulate the drug evil,
because the present bill exempts all
habit-forming drugs, except opium
and cocaine, from restriction as to
unlimited pure hose.
1 "One of the most deadly of habit
f irming narcotics is chloralhydrate,
against whose sale, no law exists.

of ail' habit-forming drugs, without

Many people are discouraged because they
have tried in vain to get rid of a "stub
born," deep-rooted com. which is making
their life miserable. But they should take
hope for the worst corn in the world can
be cured. Here is an easy but scientific
treatment which your own druggist will tel
you actually docs the work. Simply give
the feet a good Cal-o-cide foot-bath in hoi
water, then apply one of the little bul
powerful plasters supplied with each pack'
ago of Cal-o-cide. It may take a second
treatment, but rest assured the corn wil!
! positively come out, root and all. This
treatment also overcomes burning aching
! and sweating. A package of Cal-o-cidc
costs only a quarter but is surely vrortt
dollars to most people.—Adv.
