Austria's peace delegation will not
receive the terms of peace from the
Allied representatives until Monday.
Aftr the plenary session of the Peace
Conference held yesterday afternoon
Is was announced that several of the
smaller powers directly interested in
the treaty to be presented to Aus
tria had asked for 48 hours in which
to study the pact. This makes it
necessary for the conference to hold
another plenary session Saturday.
Austria la Milling
The Austrian delegation has been
Informed that the presentation of
the treaty will not occur until Mon
day, and has acquiesced in the de
cision of the conference. There is
no suggestion of a disagreement in
the conference over the terms, but
M. Bratiano of Rumania, pointed out
that Poland, Serbia, Rumania and
other small nations desired a short
time for consideration.
The treaty is not yet fully com
pleted. the clauses involving mili
itary terms, reparations and some
phases of the frontier settlements
being omitted from the draft sub
mitted at the plenary session.
World League to Guide
The vexing problem of the dispo
sition of Fiume has, according to
Paris advices been definitely settled.
Fiume becomes an independent state
which will be under the guidance of
the League of Nations. Questions
relative to the Dalmatian coast have
been adjusted by giving Italy strate
gic islands along the coast, but there
seems to be some discrepancy be
tween dispatches as to the future
status of Zara. capital of Dalmatia.
and Sebenico, a seaport on the coast
70 miles southeast of Triest. Presi
dent Wilson and Premier Orlando
were in conference this morning
over the details of this settlement,
which was to be assuming definite
shape.
Experts Translate Proposals
Ex P erts are busy in translating
the German counter-proposals sub
mitted yesterday by the enemy dele
gation. Nothing specific regarding
the contents of the German replv
other than received on Wednesday
from Berlin through London has
been made public. It is probable,
according to dispatches that the
French and English translations of
the reply will not be ready for the
consideration of the Council of Four I
before Saturday.

To Those Who Went Away Singing and Never Came Back
NATION BOWS IN
TRIBUTE TO ITS
SOLDIER HEROES
Memorial Services Held For
Men Who Gave Lives in
Great Battles
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 30.—With deep
ened solemnity the first Memorial
Day after the close of the great
world conflict was observed in the
national capital to-day, the nation's
heroes of earlier wars sharing its
tribute with those who fell in the
struggle to maintain the liberties
and ideals for which their fore
fathers fought.
Memorial exercises were held at
Arlington National Cemetery, the
United States Soldiers' Home and at
other points under the auspices of
the G. A. R., United Spanish War
Veterans and allied organizations,
which participated in the annual pa
rade earlier in the day. A special
j committee decorated the tomb of
, the unknown dead at Arlington as
a tribute to American soldiers who
fell in France. Special exercises also
were held at the mast 'of the U. S.
! S. Maine at Arlington.
Vice-President Marshall was the
speaker at exercises at Battle
Ground National Cemetery, con
! ducted under the auspices of the
G. A. R.
With the Senate not in session,
members of the House devoted the
j day to paying tributes "to those who
I served or gave others to the serv
ice of the country in the Great
i War."
Graves of Americans in
France Are Decorated by
Loyal Hands Daring Day
By Associated Press.
Paris. May 30. Not a grave of
any American who fell in the Great
War was overlooked in to-day's ob
servance of Memorial Day in France.
Seme of the services were held in the
vicinity of the battle line along which
the troops fought and sacrificed their
lives—in the cemeteries where they
were laid to rest. Others took plat-e
near the hospital centers further
back. v. here those whose wounds
finally caused their death have been
buried.
Wilson and Prrshlng Speak
The two most notable events of the
day were at Suresnes, near Paris, and
at Romagne, near the Argonne. Presi
dent Wilson left the labors of the
Peace Conference to go to the former
place for an address in the American
Cemetery there, while General Persh

They Live
Address of Rev. Dr. Lewis S. Mudge at Dedication of
Rotary Club's Flower Boxes on Mulberry Street Via
duct in Memory of Harrisburg Soldiers, Sailors and
Marines Who Died in the War
TO-DAY if we could but have our way, we would be across the seas.
We would be walking in the fields where the poppies grow, and
where our soldier boys lie at rest row upon row. This Memorial
season we would be eager to strew their graves with flowers and to adorn
them with flags.
This great honor and privilege is of course denied us, and so here to
day in the city which sent many of these boys forth to make the supreme
sacrifice, we are unveiling these boxes of living flowers to their memory.
Symbols have always been of the greatest helpfulness to men. Symbols
speak to us; they make invisible things concrete to us and link us to the
infinite, the eternal, the invisible. Among the symbols most cherished by
men are the flowers and it is most appropriate that we should use them
to speak to us and to our city to-day. In the name of the boys in whose
honor these flowers are placed, they bring two messages to our hearts
to-day.
First, they tell each one of us to be a real American citizen. These
flowers were vitalized and energized in American soil; they are growing
in American earth; they speak to us of American vitality. Now there is
nothing finer under God's heaven than true Americanism. It is the sum
mation of the broadest culture, the deepest purpose, and the widest
vision. It is rendered concrete in the finest of men, in the most beauti
ful of women, and in the most gracious of children. As real Americanism
is the most magnificent thing on God's earth, in loyalty to the boys who
BIG COUNTRY HOME IS
GIVEN OVER TO WOUNDED
John Lindner Provides Comforts and Pure Air For Men Re
cuperating From Gas and Shells of Battlefields
Through the efforts of Colonel
Keefer, head of the United States
Army General Hospital No. 31, at
Carlisle, the country estate of John
Cinder, president of the Cinder Shoe
Company, at Forest Hill, has been
thrown open for the summer months
to the at that Institution.
Forest Hill, on the Conodoguinet,
four miles from Carlisle, is one of
the most beautiful summer estates
in the entire Cumberland Valley.
Here the overseas veterans will have
perfect rest, no discipline, and no
duties except that perhaps of eating
three "squares" a day.
The camp has already been plotted
to accommodate 50 men, eight large
tents having been erected for this
purpose. At a later date its size may
be substantially increased. There
will be adequate provisions for medi
cal attendance for the wounded and
sick vets, and a hospital stafT will
be in attendance at all times.
Under the direction of Cteutenant
J. H. Atkinson, athletic officer at the
[Continued on Page 19.]
hospital, there will be tennis, golf
baseball, quoits, fishing, bathing and
volleyball provided. Swimming suits
have been secured for all of the men
and the athletic equipment will be
secured from the general hospital.
The camp will be in charge of an
oversea officer, who will generally
supervise work, but there will bq
no attempt made to enforce military
courtesy, or the usual army forma
tions.
In addition to the athletic recrea
tions, the "Y" and kindred organiza
tions will take the movies, and
other stunts to the camp, and all to
gether, nothing will be lacking.
Sir. Lender's offer is in line with
the sacrifices many local people have
been making on the basis that noth
ing is too good for the boys who
came back from the front maimed
and battered. Colonel Keefer, al
ways on the outlook for benefits to
be secured for "his boys," immedi
atly accepted the offer, and the camp
will soon be a reality.
FORTY-EIGHT
HOUR WEEK FOR
SHOEWORKERS
Harrisburg Shoe Manufactur
ing Co. Announces Change;
Will Put in Restaurant
SEES PROSPERITY AHEAD
No Reduction in Wages Be
cause of Shorter
Hours
The Harrisburg Shoe Manufactur
ing Company, with plant in Vernon
street, announced to-day that begin
ning Monday it will put into effect
a forty-eight-hour week with no re
duction of wages and will install in
its plant an up-to-date restaurant
capable of accommodating 12 5 peo
ple at a time.
"The company is prospering," said
Robert E. Cahill. the general man
ager, to-day, "and we believe the
employes should share in this pros
perity. We have been seriously con
sidering the forty-eight-hour week
for some time and now find it pos
sible to put it into effect without a
readjustment of Wages."
The new restaurant, Mr. Cahill
said, will be located in a large room
on an upper floor of the plant and
will be fitted out in the most mod
ern style. The whole idea is to pro
vide the employes with a cheaper,
better meal than they can get for
the price elsewhere, part of the ex
pense being born by the company
and everything being sold at lost or
below.
"The ideas we are working out
are simply in line with modern
thought." Mr. Cahill said, "and are
intended to make working condi
tions better in the factory."
The company has had a most
prosperous year and has orders so
far ahead that it sees nothing but
growing business during the re
mainder of the year.
Claster's New Office
Building Is to Cost
$200,000; Plans Ready
Building: operations at the old
Board of Trade building, which is
to be converted by Henry C. Claster,
well-known Market street jeweler,
Into a modern eight-story office
building, will start in about two
weeks, it was said to-day.
Mr. Claster has already leased the
structure for a three-year period to
the State. The total cost of the al
terations and additions to be made
to the building will be about $200,000
he said to-day. It will be completed
by January 1, 1920.
During the remodeling and other
construction work the Mayor's office
and police headquarters will be al
lowed to occupy the basement and
first floor, but it is understood that
Mayor D. L. Keister and other mem
bers of Council are looking for a
place now for these offices until the
! new city and county building is a
reality.
The interior and front of the
present building will be torn out. A
steel framework and re-enforced
concrete interior will be used and
a new front of granite, marble and
tapestry brick will be built. The
entire building will be fireproof in
every respect and will be open on
all sides, so that all the offices will
have outside windows for lighting.
Two elevators will be installed
and all other modern office im
provements will be provided to
make the building one of the best
in the city. The structure is located
on a plot fronting seventy feet on
Market street and extending in
depth 105 feet. Mr. Claster pur
chased the property last August.
Released From Jail Only
to Be Arrested For Theft
Charged with shoplifting, Alberta
Williams and Abbie Smith, colored,
were arrested by Harrisburg police
last evening less than two hours af
ter being discharged from the Dau
phin county jail. They had been held
in connection with the death of
George Mitchell, who had been
found unconscious in the Smith
girl's home after a "dope" party in
which Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell an-d
the two colored girls participated.
The girls went to the Pleur-de
Lis. 412 Market street, where they
purchased a shirtwaist. They are
said to have picked up two others
and secreted them while the clerk
was wrapping up their purchase.
The theft was soon discovered and
the police notified.

cigars are reported to have been
taken. Access to the store was gained
by cutting the glass from one of the
windows.

able date for its signature and
the departure of President Wilson
for the United States, according

ASKS FOR REST MOORING
Seaplane Lands at Mondcgo
River; Cannot Make Port
During the Day
Washington. May 30.—Starting for
Plymouth. England, this morn
ing at t 5.20 under favorable fly
ing conditions. the NC-4, in
charge of Commander Albert C.
Read, was stopped in its flight about
100 miles north of Lisbon, on the
Portuguese coast. In a message sent
from the seaplane Commander Read
indicated that Plymouth could not
be reached during the day. The
message received at Brest and re
layed to the Navy Department said:
Asks For Best Port
"NC-4 at Mondego river; must
await high tide. Seaplane cannot
make Plymouth. Request destroyers
to keep stations. What is best port
to land seaplane within 300 miles?"
An intercepted wireless message
by ihe steamship George Washing
ton from the destroyer Rathburne
to another vessel said: "Have not
s ghted NC-4. Am searching south
ward of station B." The messages j
were interpreted as meaning that
the NC-4 developed trouble, but it j
was at flrst thought repairs had
been effected and the flight resumed.
The message from Commander
Read, however, indicated that the
plane was out of commission so far
as continuing to Plymouth during
the day was concerned. The condi
tion of the plane was reported all
right. Just what developed to stop
the flight was not shown in the Navy
Department dispatches.
There was no information here as
to why Commander Head made a
landing, but officers assumed that
the plane's engines were not func
tioning properly. The plane evi
dently ran into shallow water in
landing or was left so by a receding
tide while repairs were being made.
Brest, May 30.—When the United
States seaplane NC-4 left Lisbon this
morning the weather was cloudy.
There was a barometric depression
over the Bay of Biscay, but the
weather was clear over the English
Channel, with a light southerly
breeze.
The NC-4 passed station A at 8
o'clock this morning and station B
at 9.20 o'clock. She was flying at
an altitude of about 2,000 feet in
calm, beautiful flying weather. She
is expected to make Ouessant light
on the western most extremity of the
islands oft the coast of Brittany, at
11.30 o'clock.
Nothing further has been heard
by the naval authorities at Paris or
Brest front the NC-4 since she com
municated with station B at 9.20
o'clock. An intercepted wireless by
the steamship George Washington
from the destroyer Rathburne to
another vessel says "have not sight
ed NC-4. Am searching southward
of station B."
A message received here relayed
from the destroyer Woolsey at sta
tion C on the route of the NC-4, is
interpreted by the naval authorities
here as meaning that the NC-4 de
veloped trouble, but effected repairs
and resumed her flight.
Washington, May 3 o.—The Navy
Department was officially advised of
the departure of the seaplane NC-4
from Lisbon for Plymouth at 5
o'clock this morning in a brief mes
sage from Admiral Cummings at
Lisbon. The starting time was given
as 5.24 Greenwich time (1.20 a. m.
Washington time). Slow cable com
munication keeps the department
about four or five hours behind in
news of progress of the flight.
The seaplane NC-4, sole survivor
of thre giant machines which left
Roekaway Point, N. Y., on May 8
on the epochal air voyage across
the Atlantic, reached Lisbon at 8:02
o'clock, Greenwich time, on the even
ing of Tuesday, May 27, after a
wonderful flight from Ponta Delgada,
Azores. The flrst day following her
arrival at the Portuguese port was
spent in inspecting the craft and it
was expected that the machine would
start for Plymouth on May 29, but
adverse weather conditions made a
postponement of her flight advisable.
When the NC-4 reached Lisbon
she had travelled since leaving Rock
away Point a distance of 3,150 sea
miles, having been in the air 4 3 hours
and 33 minutes. Her average speed
had been 72 sea miles per hour for
the whole journey, although her
speed from Trepassey,-New Found
land to Horta, Azores, and from
Ponta Delgada to Lisbon averaged
far above that figure. From Lisbon
to Plymouth is approximately 775
sea miles.

Mothers Breathe a Prayer For Heroic
Dead Resting Under Foreign Soils;

SALUTES FIRED OVER THE
FRESHLY DECORATED GRAVES
Memory of the nation's heroic dead was kept green to-day when
millions paused to pay tribute to the thousands who gave their
lives for liberty while wearing the ancient blue and the modern
khaki.
Harrisburg placed its tribute of kinship and love in the ceme
teries and burying grounds within the municipality and its en
virons. \\ ith the break of dawn the journey to the numerous
God's Acres began and long before noon thousands of graves bore
proof of the day's pilgrimage to the last resting places of those
who had gone before.
Scores fo Harrisburg mothers
breathed a prayer for their dead
happy in the knowledge that the
graves of their boys in far off coun
tries which they can never hope to
see have been decorated with flowers
by the hands of their comrades who
passed safely through the rain of
tire, shell and gas on the bloody
battlefields. For the flrst time in
history the armed hosts of the na
tion are treading the earth in Mem
orial service in every quarter of the
globe.
Fighting men of the world's
mighty Commonwealth are placing j
wreaths and firing salutes over the
graves of Pennsylvania's youth in
England, France, Belgium, Ger

At home the remanents of th% once
mighty Grand Army of the Republic
marched bravely, with heads erect
as ever and with steps that faltered
only with the burden of more than
three score years and ten to the rest

Many of the newer veterans

the flag to victory many years be

call of the Nation.
The events in themselves this year
are much the same as usual. The
parade, as in the past, had the G.
A. R. men as the central figures and
the customary decoration of the
graves of the departed veterans and
the exercises in the cemetery were
arranged in the same routine.
But, in all of the memorial events
celebrated or being celebrated
througho\it the city at large, there
is an added significance this year.
More than a score of Harrisburg men
have fallen in another war since
last year's observance, and the de
mise of these men, from the fact
that they are from the very flower
of the city, gives to Memorial Day
this year such a meaning as it has
held at no time for many of us.
While the arrangements for the
events and the events themselves
were as customary, yet there was a
difference in the whole ceremony
