WAR DEPARTMENT
STARTS FORMING
NEW GUARD UNITS
Pennsylvania Advises Chiefs
State Has Force Enough
to Maintain Order
By Associated Press•
Washington, April 23.—Reconsti
tution of the National Guard was
actually started to-day, when the
War Department, through the Bu
reau of Militia Affairs, authorized
the organization of seven regiments
and one extra battalion of infantry,
one squadron of cavalry and eight
een companies of coaßt artillery.
The State of New York was au
thorized to raise four regiments of
infantry, one squadron of cavalry i
and twelve companies of coast ar
tillery. New Jersey was authorized
to organize one regiment of infan
-I.ry and two companies of coast ar
tillery; Ohio, two regiments of in
fantry, and Oregon, one battalion of
infantry and four companies of I
coast artillery.
Other authorizations for units are
epccted to follow soon. The States
lirst considered were those in
which conditions were such that
their Governors considered armed
forces might be necessary under
certain contingencies. The State of
Pennsylvania, for instance, reported
to the War Department that it pos
sesses at this time a very efficient
State Constabulary and 3,000 State
Iroops, sufficient to handle any
emergency which could be foreseen
at this time.
FIUME CANNOT"
BE ITALY PART
[Continued from First Page.]
for solution at to-day's meetings of
the conference leaders.
Italy May Itcccdc
Italy's delegation at the Peace
Conference, however, seems to be
showing a disposition to recede from
ihc extreme attitude which it had
taken and which has brought an ad
mittedly grave situation in the work
of restoring peace.
Reports front Paris indicate a
willingness on the part of the Ital
ians to listen to suggestions of a
compromise, this leading to hopes
that some way will be found to ad
just he conflicting demands of Italy
and Jugo-Slavia regarding the city |
of Fiunie and the Dalmntion coast. I
To Yield Habitation Hinterland
Italy, it is said, has offered to give
up all claims to the Dalmation Hin
terland if given Fiume, the Dalma
tian coast and the coastal water
shed. On the other hand, she lias
rejected ofTers of Fiume in return
for relinquishing any claims she may
have on the Dalmation coast.
Rival Claims Impend
Rival claims of China and Japan
to Kiao Chau and the Shantung
peninsula have not been settled, and
if the Chinese and Japanese home
governments consent it seems prob
able these claims will be left to be
taken up by the League of Nations
after peace has been declared. After
conferring on the subject yesterday
the Council of Four announced that
Germany's rights to the territory
involved in the dispute would bo
terminated, but no linal disposition
was made of the peninsula or the
former German fortress of Kiao
Chau.
Hungarian Situation Quiet
It seems to be established that the
Soviet government of Hungry has
crumbled, but the situation is still
quiet and obscure. The party that
lias assumed control is not definitely
known. Munition and arms fac
tories at Budapest are in full oper
ation, it is said.
The report that a Soviet regime
had been set up in Turkey is doubted
in London, where it is pointed out
that if there was any truth in the
rumor, reports would have been for
warded by wireless to the British ad
miralty by the British warships now
lying before Constantinople.
Poles Defeat Russian Reds
The Russian Bolshevik reverse on
the northwestern front, reported on
Tuesday was at the hands of the
Poles, who have taken Vilna and |
have pierced the Bolshevik line to •
the south.
Vilna was the nearest approach oft
Russian Bolshevism to Germany. On |
the north Russian front the Allies
have pushed forward a considerable
distance along the lines south of the
Murmansk peninsula.
Mobs Clash With Police
Serious disorders occurred at
Hamburg. Germany, on Saturday and
Sunday. In the suburb of St. Pauli,
on the western outskirts of the city,
mobs have flashed with the police
and appear to have met with some
measure of success.

SENATOR PENROSE
RETURNS SUNDAY
Confident of Early Passage of
Philadelphia Bills; Has
Many Visitors
Philadelphia reform measures
now pending in the Legislature can
not be defeated by "deals of precinct
politicians."
This assertion was made to-day
by United States Senator Penrose
when asked if he thought there was
any prospect of the Philadelphia
measures being defeated in the
House as a result of deals made by
the Vares with country members.
The Senator was told that the
Vare forces had turned in a ma
jority for the prohibition amend
ment and for the suffrage resolu
tion as a play for the votes of in
dependent members from the coun
try districts.
"Reform measures of the first
magnitude looking to redemption of
the metropolis of the State cannot
be made subject to deals of precinct
politicians," was the assertion of the
senior Senator. He predicted big
majorities for the bills.
The Senator said that he would
try and see the Governor before he
returns to Harrisburg next Sunday.
He intends to leave for Philadelphia
to-day and will go to New York Fri
dayto speak at a dinner.
He said that he was sorry that
he had made the engagement to go
to New York, as it might deprive
him of an opportunity of seeing
Governor Sprout.
His headquarters in the Penn-
Harris Hotel was crowded this
morning with callers. An air of
satisfaction pervaded the place- as
a result of the quick work in re
porting Philadelphia measures out
of committee.

BAKRiaBURG TELEGRAPH
RIVERSIDE TO
BUILD CHURCH
Methodists Plan $30,000 "Struc
ture at Third and
Lewis Streets
Riverside Alethodists have an
nounced the formation of plans for
the early erection of a large mod
ern church and parsonage to cost
$30,000, on their plot at Third and
Lewis streets, Riverside. Plans will
soon be prepared.
At a recent meeting of the quar
terly conference of this charge, at
which every official member was
present, with Dr. Edgar R. Heck
man, district superintendent, presid
ing, after full discussion of the whole
situation, it was unanimously de
cided that the needs of Alethodism in
this growing section of Harrisburg
could only be taken care of through
the early erection of a modern
church and parsonage; and in order
to he prepared for early building op
erations, arrangements were made to
wipe out the debt of S6OO existing
against the presgnt small frame
structure: S2OO of the S6OO has al
ready been raised and paid within
the past month by the enthusiastic
congregation, and arrangements are
now under way to pay off the re
maining SIOO w-ithin the next thirty
days.
This congregation has the good
fortune to have a live-wire musical
organization, tlio Riverside Mandolin
and Guitar Club, which has under
taken to finish oft this debt. This
club has arranged to put on a dra
matic recital to be given in the Tech
nical High school auditorium by J.
T. Wenyon, elucutionist. Thursday
evening. May 1. Mr. Wenyon, who
furnishes the recital, has an inter
national reputation and is not un
known to Harrisburg lovers of dra
matic art. "Lady Audley's Secret"
is his star performance and a capa
city house is already assured at a
nominal admission.
At the suggestion of the Metho
dist Union of the city, and supported
by their unanimous approval of plan
and movement, as expressed in a
meeting of the union on Monday
night, a large number of tickets are
being sent out by mail to the friends
who might be supposed to be in
terested in preparing the way for this
congregation to clear the debt and
prepare the way to go forward with
the new building project. The exigen
cies are such that the work must be
put forward as early as possible.
Until this year. Riverside was com
bined in a circuit plan with West
Fairview. But the recent annual
conference at Sunbury designated it
as a station, and Dr. George Murray
Klepfer, one of the ablest ministers
of this conference, was placed in
charge. The Riverside Methodists

SAVE MONEY!
SAVE SHOES!
In a long chase for a criminal, J. E.
Jones, a secret service man of Chicago,
wore one pair of shoes with Nealin
Soles for nineteen months. This chase
covering both American continents
and Australia, ended in April, 1917.
The shoes were then given a mechanic
at Clearing, 111., and were worn by
him another seven months.
"Until I discovered shoes with
Neolin Soles, I bought new shoes about
every two months," said Mr. Jones.
Twenty-six months of wear under
conditions such as these i 3 indeed
extraordinary even for Neolin Soles.
But Nealin Soles are made by Science
to be especially durable. They are
comfortable and waterproof, too. You
can get them on new shoes for men,
women and children, or for re-soling.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants For Insurance Often
Rejected.
•Judging from reports from drug
gists who ure constantly In direct
touch with the public, there Is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing in
fluence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its remarkable record of
success.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, In an Interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are re
jected, is because kidney trouble Is
so common to the American people,
and the large majority of those
whose applications are declined do
not even suspect that they have the
disease. It is on sale at all drug
stores In bottles of two sizes, medi

this great preparation, send ten
