Support Movement
tn the echo of the most thrilling war j
adventure, related at the Harrishurg Club !
last evening by the city's own heroes, ]
the local campaign for the Salvation j
Army Home Service was launched to- |
day by a sis-cylinder execuUve com- |
mittee. sounding the slogan: "dollars
for doughnuts" and "a man may be
down, but he is never out." The big
assembly room glittered with military
uniform, and the welkin resounded with
the convincing pledges of captains, lieu- !
tenants and privates to "go over the |
top" for the Salvation Army who "were j
always there where the shells were <
dropping."
The drive starts next Monday, run- j
ning from May 19-26 and is nation-wide j
for a total quota of $13,000,000. A great j
number of big cities, especially in the ]
West, have gone over their share; Scran
ton is raising $150,000. and the amount
for Dauphin County is set at $35,004.
These and other facts were set before
the gathering at the Harrlsburg Club
last night by Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr.,
who was unanimously chosen chairman. !
His executive committee will have more I
or less the appearance of a regimental I
staff, including: Captain John T. Bretz. |
in charge of soldiers' canvassing teams; j
1 .ieut-Col. Edward Schell. Capt. Jackson j
Herr Boyd. Lieut. Wilbur Towsen, i
Capt. William McCreath. Capt. Meade D. j
Detweiler. Lieut. Charles W. Thomas.
Capt. E. Laubenstein. Capt. H. M. Stine;
Lt. Joshua Swam. A 1 K. Thomas. Kl
wanis Club ; Eli N. Hershey, Rotary Club;
Mercer B. Tate, all-round-jazz; publicity.
Allen Sangree and Laurence Shepley.
The headquarters have been established
at the former Gilbert Store whence the
other drives were conducted.
Chairman Stackpole put the situation j
before the gathering promptly and with I
brevity, laying stress on the fact that j
almost the entire bulk of the local
quota remains here : the treasurer being ■
William Bowman, and if a sufficient i
sum is raised a substantial Salvation j
Army building will be established where
home work may be carried on in emi- j
nently progressive and satisfactory fash- i
ion. He informed that Pennsylvania is
taxed with a total of $2,000,000. the
eity of Philadelphia taking over half
of that, the rest for the State outside.
It was not necessary to make an appeal
for energy; the soldier volunteers could
barely hold themselves in leash from |
springing out on their humane mission |

Joint Conference Planned

and Municipal Building i
City Commissioners may decide at
the regular council meeting next
Tuesday when they will ask for a
joint conference with county of
ficials on further plans for a munici
pal office building and county court
house, now that the bill permitting
the erection of a joint structure has
been signed by Governor Sproul.
Members of both bodies to-day re
iterated that they were in favor of
completing plans for the building
now and are anxious to meet to dis
cuss the important questions which
must be decided during the next sev
eral months.
Estimates of floor space needed
for the city departments have been
made by various officials, and it is
likely similar figures will be secured
soon by the county. Selection of a
Htte, an architect, decision on the
size and cost of the joint building
are some of the other problems
which will take weeks to decide.
Mayor D. D. Keister said to-day
he probably will not call a joint
meeting until after the council ses
sion next week when he can consult
with the other commissioners about
the proposed conference. County i
Commissioners C. C. Cumbler, H. M. I

Bills making the State capital the

courts sitting at Albany, were in

Women Score Peace Terms
By Associated Press
Paris. May 14.—The Peace Conference to-day received from the
Women's International Conference For Permanent Peace at Zurich
the resolution, adopted yesterday by the conference, denouncing the
terms of peace with Germany.
The resolution declares that the terms tacitly sanction secret
diplomacy, deny the principles of self-determination, recognize the
right of the victor to the spoils of war and violate principles of jus
i tiee. Rule of force, it is declared, is continued by the financial and I
| economic clauses.
LABOR HEEDS PLEAS
OF WOMEN WORKERS
Three of Gentler Sex Attend Convention to Press Their De
mands For Equal Rights With Men Competi
tors in Business Field
Will women play an important part in labor after the war?
Women delegates to the Pennsylvania State Federation of La
bor believe they will take prominent place in the industrial and
economic world even though hostilities have ceased and soldiers
are returning to their peace-time positions.
Among the delegates registered for the sessions of the conven
tion are three women: Miss Marie A. Depue. Philadelphia, repre
senting the American Federation of Teachers; Miss Pauline New
man, Philadelphia, of the Women's Trade Union League, and j
Miss Fannie Seldens, New Kensington, representing the Central |
Labor Union of her city.
Miss Depue is a teacher in the,
| West Philadelphia High School for)
Girls. There is just a trace of gray!
in her hair, but her eyes shone with j
a gleam of resolution as she told ot
her associaUon's plans for the bet
terment of work among school
teachers. "We are, so far as I know,
the first teacher's union in the State,
and we rank as fifty-eighth in the
seventy-eight unions already formed
throughout the nation. We want an
equalization of salaries first of all,
and our bill is now in the Legisla
ture.
"You will find this bill appl.ies only
to antiquated cities, such as your
own Harrishurg, Erie. Bethlehem
and poor little old-fashioned Phila-
I delphia. Other cities have already
I awakened to the crying need. Do]
| you know the American Federation
i of Labor is backing we schoolteachers
lin this bill for the first time In the
'history of the State? There are sev
jeral other unions now formed in the
j State, and in a few months we hope
j to be completely organized."

otary and the filing and preservation !
of the records and documents of his
office."
The bill repeals certain sections of
apts of 1834 and 1855 that would
interfere with the purposes of the !
measure.
The Superior Court bill is similar j
and contains repealers of certain |
sections ( of acts to carry out the re- i
moval idea.
Tile bills will be considered by l
committee next week. The Supreme i
Court will begin Its annual session '
here next week.
Fits With Governor's Plan
The bills are in line with Governor >
Sproul's plan of cncentrating the i
State government in Harrisburg and j
• if they become laws the State cap- !
- ital would be the center of the ju- !
i dlclal branch which is now in Phil- |
adelphia. Eventually it would lead |
i to erection of a building for the ex
. elusive use of the courts in Capital 1
- Park.
s For years a sentiment in favor
t of having the appellate courts sit
t here, as they do In other States, has
i been growing in Pennsylvania. If.
j is understood many influential men
r favor the establishment of the
i courts here.

vides that in event of the Supreme

i perior Court shall become similar
! i officers of the supreme Court.

"Hello, Jim!" she called, as a big.
brawny delegate came up the stairs ]
of the Board of Trade building. "Got

"Yeah," he told her. "Jim's on my!

porter. "Say. Jim. guess what I did
last night. I went to the movies."
"You see, I never get a chance to go
to the movies in Philadelphia. We're
always busy! So 1 just ran away and
saw Pearl White—and she was
great."
I Miss Newman is in Harrlsburg In
the interests of her organization, to
see that the eight-hour legislation
is passed. "Take it from me, there
are a thousand men to one woman
working eight hours a day. The wom

they stand the strain? We are
bringing this before the lawmakers
and some day they're going to wake

Insists on the doctrine of fair play

PARIS, May 14.—The three German notes delivered to the

Germany s economic situation; the second, with the manner in

One of the notes under consideration is a note presented by

that the request will be denied.
