4 STERN MEASURES FOR GERMANY IF SHE DOESN'T SIGN Allies Will Reimpose Blockade; Marshal Foch Goes to the Rhine to Take Such Action as May Be Necessary By Associated Press. Paris, May 15. —The Allies are Considering immediate measures tending to the further subjugation of Germany if its delegates refuse to sign the peace treaty. The Council of Four, composed of President Wilson, David Lloyd George, M. Clemenceau and Signor Orlando, have under discussion the immedi ate reimposing of the blockade against Gremany in case that coun try declines the Allied terms. On the other hand, it is antici pated that the blockade will be en tirely lifted immediately if the Ger mans affix their signature to the treaty. Announcement has also been made that Marshal Foch had been sent to the Rhine to take such ac tion as may be necessary in case of German refusal. The answers of the Council of Four to the German notes on pris oners of war and labor subjects were delivered yesterday afternoon. One of the later German notes, dealing with economic clauses of the treaty declares that they mean the ruin of Germany if they are en forced. A note on territorial questions protests particularly against the Sarro valley arrangement and the transfer of the Malmedy Moresnot and Eupen districts to Belgium, as well as the forced evacuation of a part of Schleswig. Responsibility Disclaimed A note on reparations does not protest against the payment by Germany for the devastation wrought in Belgium and Northern France which, it says, Germany is, ready to do willingly. It is added, ! however, that Germany will not pay | reparation for this damage on the principle that she was responsible for tho war.

SJJAMMSNI*GQAS THURSDAY EVENING, i oners says: The German peace dele gation notes with satisfaction that the project recognizes the principle of the return of prisoners of war and civilians with the least possible delay. The delegation deems that all the details of the execution of this measure ought to be submitted to a special commission. "Direct oral iscussions between the commission and nearly all the belligerents concerning prisoners of war have been considered, even dur ing hostilities, as the surest means i of solving the difficulties. It ought to-day to be all the easier to recon cile the different viewpoints and clear up certain obscurities still ex isting on certain details of the prob lem. As to Prisoners "For instance, as a result of the diversity of the view point of the law in the different countries inter ested, the German delegation con siders it indispensable that prisoners of war and the civilians undergoing penalties for other infractions than those of discipline should be in a group that ought to be repatriated, unconditionally. Germany has rec ognized this principle regarding prisoners of war and civilians of the allied and associated powers in its custody. "The German delegation deems it necessary for reasons of equity to accord certain improvement in the treatment of prisoners, military and civilian, pending the time when they may return to their own country." MEETING POSTPONED The meeting of the Home Folks' Victory Association that had been scheduled to be held in the Armory this evening, has been postponed be cause of the parade of the Keystone Division in Philadelphia. The asso ciation will meet on Saturday evening in the Armory, at 8 o'clock, instead. MILLIONS SEE TROOPS MARCH IN 28TH PARADE Transport Peerless, With 108 th Field Artillery, Is Delayed at Sea By Associated Press. Pliiladclpliia. May 15. —Philadel- phia surrendered to-day to the . Twenty-eighth Division, composed largely of former National Guards men from this State. About seven teen thousand soldiers here from Camp Dix had prepared for the pa rade of the Iron Division over the principal streets. The route is eight and one-half miles long and more than two million people were in the grandstands or lined the streets over which the men were to march. No such elaborate decorations have probably ever been eeen be fore in this city. At historic Inde pendence Hall the display is notable. Here a court of honor has been erected. Grandstands more ornate than were ever built before in Phil adelphia almost hide the hall and the surrounding buildings. The " statue of George Washington, bought with the pennies of echool children which has stood l'or years in front of the hall, had been re moved to make way for the Liberty Bell. This relic was brought from its shrine in the corridor of Inde pendence Hull and was on view for the benefit of the marching sol diers and the multitude. Peerless Delayed It was announced that the trans port Peerless, which is bringing home from France the One Hun dred and Eighth Field Artillery, made up largely of Pennsylvania soldiers would not arrive at this port until to-morrow. The Peerless was due yesterday, and the men were to participate in the parade. Major General Charles H. Mulr, commander of the Twenty-eighth Division, his staff and the colonels of regiments making up the di vision, were given a dinner by the city of Philadelphia last night at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. Cov ers were laid for 500 guests, who include Governor Sproul, Mayor Smith, Justices of the Supreme Court, Judges of the Superior, Com mon Pleas and Municipal Courts and other- State and city officials. Mrs. Sproul, wife of the Gov ernor. and a large number of wom en, who have been prominent in Red Cross and other war work, oc cupied gallery boxes during the din ner. Medal For Mulr Governor Sproul, on behalf of the people of the State, presented Gen eral Muir with a gold medal and in an address he eulogized the men of the Keystone Division for the "mag nificent service rendered during the war." The inscription on the medal was: "Presented by a grateful Com monwealth to Major General Muir, for gallant service, May 15, 1919." The Governor announced the ap pointment of Brigadier General William C. Price. Jr., of Chester, as head "of the new National Guard to be organized in Pennsylvania. General Price commanded the Fifty-third Field Artillery Brigade of the Twenty-eighth Division. Announces Candidacy For Jersey Governor By Assooiated Press Trenton, N. J., May 15.

Garfield McAllister Dies After Long Illness W WM ggl• *** iJH 9HHi, ■■ GARFIELD MeALLISTER The death of Garfield McAllister, former Y. M. C. A. secretary, oc curred at the Grand View Sanator ium, Wernersville, last night. Mr. McAllister, who resided at 804 North Sixteenth street, had gone to that institution recently in the hope of regaining his health. For a number of years he was connected with the auditing depart ment of the Bell Telephone . Com pany, where he was held in high esteem by all his associates. In De cember, 1917, he obtained a leave of absence to engage in Army Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Sevier, South Caro lina. He continued in this work for more than a year, when he ac cepted a call to become Army sec retary of the Central Y. M. O. A. of Harrisburg. Mr. McAllister for a number of years was an active member of Mar ket Square Presbyterian Church, being especially interested in the Sunday school and Christian En deavor Society. He was the efficient scoutmaster of Troop 4, the oldest troop of the city, from the time of its organiza tion until he left the city to engage in the Army Y. M. C. A. work. . He is survived by his wife \nd two sons, Howard McAllister and David McAllister; also by his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore McAl lister, of Gettysburg, and by the fol lowing brothers and sisters: John H. McAllister, of Mechanicsburg; the Rev. J. A. McAllister, of Mayaguez, Porto Rico; Luella McAllister, of Wilmington, Del.; Margaret McAllis ter, 'of Gettysburg; Mary McAllister, of Lock Haven, and Lieutenant Commander H. Ross McAllister, of the United States Navy. Funeral arrangements will bo an nounced later. HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH REPORT ADMITS ERROR MADE IN AIR PROGRAM Task of Producing 22,000 Planes in Twelve Months Said to be "Impossible" Washington, May 15.—Admission Ithat both military and civilian ex perts over estimated the country's capabilities in setting out in 1917 "to accomplish the impossible task" of producing 22,000 airplanes in 12 months is made in the official his tory of the Government's efforts to build up the industry made public to-day by the War Department. Realization of this error resulted almost immediately in the placing of contracts in France for 5,875 planes of the Spad, Nieuport and Breguet types. The report shows that by May 23, 1918, American factories had deliv ered 5,270 planes, or 24 per cent of the ambitious program, while the Trench had delivered 31 per cent of the number promised on that date. Up to November 11, a total of 11,304 airplanes had been produced in America, but these were largely training machines, fighting planes completed during the war period totalling only 3,328. "Broadly stated," the history says, "the United States produced for her army alone in iicr second year of manufacture, as many airplanes as England produced for her army and navy in her third year." Problems Overcome Organiaztion of the manufactur ing industry is declared to have been the smallest of the air ser vice's problems, an alarming short age of cloth and varnish, or "dope," for the wings developing at the very start. Lack of an adequate supply of linen was overcome quickly through the assistance of the United States Bureau of Standards, which evolved a special cotton fabric with a tensile strength of 90 pounds to the square inch. Production of this material was soon at the rate of j 1,200,000 yards per month. "Cotton proved to be not only an I admirable substitute for linen, but: even a better fabric than the orig- ! inal cloth," the report says. "No I matter how abundant the supply of] flax may be, it is unlikely that linen, will even again be used in large ] quantities for airplanes wings." New Chemical Plants Search for a varnish to protect airplane w'""s resulted in the estab lishment ot ten large chemical plants to produce acetone, the prin ciple ingredient. "Had the war continued," says the history, "these new plants would have taken care of all American apd Allied military needs, allowing the production of private plants to go exclusively to fill commercial needs." Development of aircraft was so rapid that frequent changes in models and designs were before the service experts for consideration. At the time of the armistice, the whole production machinery had been, or was about to be, turned over to putting out a new De Havi land, known as 9-A; the Lepere, a two-seater built around the Liberty engine, and the great Handley-Page machine for bombing work. Experi ments were under way with the Italian Caproni, to be driven by three Liberty engines. "But American invention was able to bring out a strictly American bombing plane that promised to superecedo all other types in exis tence," says the report. "This was the Martin plane, which with a wing spread of 75 feet, attained a speed of 118 miles per hour against 100 for the Handley-Page and Caproni. Where the foreigners required 46 minutes to climb 15,000 feet, the Martin craft took 30 minutes." One entire Chapter of the history is given to the evolution and prepar ations for the production of the Lib erty engine. First drawing were made May 29', 1917, and the first 8- cylinder engine was delivered July 4, 1917. On August 25, the first Liber ty "twelve" successfully passed a 50-hour test.
