Passing Appropriation
Measures
By Associated Press

civil bill, carrying $003,000,000, the
District of Columbia's annual budget

completed last night and to-day will
be sent to the White House. Pres
ident Wilson will be unable to ap
prove the bills until he returns but
embarrassment to government de
partments owing to delay in making
funds available is anticipated.

plished after many delays to-day ,
with controversies centered upon the
sundry civil and army measures.
The recess gives Congress a rest over :
July 4 holiday and when It returns j
it is expected that President Wil- :
son will submit the treaty negotiated j
with Germany. legislation for
more strict enforcement of war
time prohibition also is to be taken j
up Immediately upon reconvening.
The army bill as adopted repre- I
sents a decrease of $114,000,000 1
from the amount carried in the Sen- j
ate bill, and provides for mainten- ,
ance of an average army of 325,000
men during the fiscal year which be
gan to-day. The conference report

CHAOS REIGNS IN
EASTERN EUROPE
Writer Says Conditions Favor
Reproduction of Middle
Ages Epidemics
Ixnidon. July 2.—ln the condition
of chaos in which Eastern Europe
is at present, famine and fatigue
have produced a condition of low
ered resistance to infection which
favors the reproduction of the epi
demic of the Middle Ages," says a
writer in the Lausanne, (Switzer
land), Gazette.
"Prisoners are wandering in East
ern Europe on their way to their
hemes, innumerable Russians on
their way to the East from Germany,
Germans. Austrians and Hungarians
passing from Russia to the West,
erbs and Croats striking South,
Poles going to the North, crossing
one another in indescribable confu
sion in Poland, the Ukraine and
Hungary. The absence of linen and
clothing forced these prisoners to
clothe themselves in rags of skins
in the same way as the civilian pop
uation.
"The fight against typhus consists
mainly in bathing the men and
sterilizing their clothing. The Hun
garians possess ovens, but no coal;
the Czecho-Slovaks have coal but no
ovens. Soap and body linen are
absent everywhere. Linen when put
into the oven is so wretched as to be
unwearable afterwards and the own
er has to be sent away clad in his
sheepskin. Prisoners and wandering
civilians know this so well that they
take every means to avoid disinfec
tion more than anything else to
avoid being stoved at a station they
get out of the trains when they stop
at the smaller stations and enter
the town in small scattered groups
which attract less attention."

Members of Lutheran Congre

Choice of Language
Waynesboro, Pa., July 2.—The
.committee on the thirty-third an- r
nual Lutheran reunion at Pen Mar, j
for July 24, the Rev. G. W. Enders,
York, chairman, has sent out post
cards announcing the event and in
j viting all the pastors and congrega-
I tions, Sunday schools and church
| societies to turn out and bring their
! friends along. The orators selected
i for the day are the Rev. Robert D. j
j Clare, of St. Mark's Lutheran church,'
jof Baltimore, and the Rev. A. R. 1
.Wentz, of the Lutheran Theological
Seminary, at Gettysburg.
! In concluding the call, the com
! mittee requests all to come and say,
j "Hier Stehe Ich," and sing "Ein
Keste Burg." This.latter appeal is I
| said to have had a "grating" effect
I on the nerves of some of the local'
J members, whose anti-German sensi
j bilities are yet quite acute. They re
| gard this flaunting of the kaiser's
! jargon in their faces as being ex
! ceedingly ill-timed and indiscreet
; and it is said that sharp letters of j
; protest have gone or will go to the ,
1 committee from some of the local '
brethren. It is unfortunate that justi
at this time the English language;
could not have been found sufficient j
to cover all the purposes of the com- j
mittee. As the case now stands,'
taking local sentiment as an index, j
many will not be inclined to go!

Paris, July 2.—The Turkish situa
tion is giving the Peace Conference
much uneasiness. Reports received
here indicate that there have been
organized in Asiatic Turkey three
Turkish armies whose generals re
-1 fuse to obey orders from Constan
tinople. These armies are concen
trated at Amasia, Balikesri and
Konia. The Trusk at Konia are
threatening the Italians while those
at Balikesri are opposing the Greeks.
As the position of Constantinople
has been much weakened by the re
■ fusal of the Conference to consider
proposals from the Turkish dele
gates immediately, it is feared that
independent movements will develop
throughout Asia Minor.

SCHOOL BOARD
WILL CONSIDER
PROPOSED SITE
Ground Is Needed For Con
stantly Growing Needs
of City
City school directors postponed
until the speciul meeting next Mon
day action of the proposed plan to
purchase about* forty acres of
ground owned by the MeKee-Gra
ham estates from Third to Sixth.
Division to Katherine streets,, known
as Hoffman's Woods.
Director George A. Werner sub
mitted the motion that the board
should make the purchase and Di
rector John F. Dapp seconded it.
The move to postpone action came
when Director A. Carson Stamm
said he desired more time to con
sider the plan and that he thought
the public should he given an op
portunity to express its opinion.
The School Board members earlier
in the afternoon had attended the
luncheon at which the City Planning
Commission explained to them and
to City Councilmen the plans for
developing the site for school and
park purposes.
Horn Favors Plot
As a special meeting of the hoard
must be held next Monday, accord
ing to the rules, to elect the admin
istration force in the offices for an
other year, the directors all agreed
to let the motion to purchase the
ground undisposed of until that
meeting. It was evident that prac
tically every member of the board
favored the plan, and it was pre
dicted by officials that there is little
possibility of the board refusing
to make the purchase
Director C. E. L. Keen declared
that he knew of no other site so
well adapted for school extension
purposes. He told the other direc
tors that he had made a study of
tracts in the Allison H'll district
and could name none that would be
as suitable as the one which has
been proposed. He also warned the
board members that they must soon
take action toward the purchase of
additional ground for school facili
ties in the Thirteenth ward.
Now Development
"This district is rapidly develop
ing toward Paxtang and now is the
time to act," Dr. Keen said
"Scores of new houses are being
built or have been completed re
cently and they are selling as fast
as they are going up. The popula
tion in the ward as a result is in
creasing with the erection of the
new dwellings, bringing more people
to that section to reside. Then, too.
Paxtang is getting closer to the citv
and we must look to the near future
when it is almost a certainty that
this borough will become a part of
the c'ty." . .
Similar remarks were made b>
other directors about the expansion
of the citv in Riverside and the need
for ground in the Fourteenth ward.
Secretary P. D. Hammelbaugh ex
plained to the board that it will cost
the citv district about $3,500 more
than had been anticipated in the
usual increases of teachers salaries
' because of the approval of the 'Wood
ruff salary bill. When the. 1919-
1920 budget was made up and ap
proved about $19,000 was allowed
for the increase under the city sal
ary schedule.
Salary Increases
According to the new law in
creases totaling $74,535 will he naid
to citv teachers, of which the State
will pay $63,412.50 and the city
| must make up the balance. sll,-
j 122.50. In addition to this amount
the new law repeals the refund pro
i vision of the former school code,
j adding an additional loss of sll.-
j 452.25 to the city. This makes the
! total amount to he met $22,574.75.
! of which about $19,000 had been in
| eluded in the new budget.
Four teachers were appointed by
I the board upon the recommenda
i tion of Dr. F. E. Downes, 6uperin
| tendent.

i of years employed in the composing
! room of the Harrtsburg Telegraph.

pany. was elected a teacher in elec
tric shop work. Miss Miriam A.
"loyer, Gratz, was named a teacher
v irawing, and Miss Helen J. My

presented to the board yesterday.
The purchase of a Ford truck and
Ford touring car also was ap
proved.
That the tuition charges are too
low in the school district for non

BUSINESS IN
BR AZIL SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT
Marked Indications of Up
ward Trend Since
April
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 2.
Business in Brazil, which had been
stagnated since the first of October,
1918—a month before the signature
of the armistice —has, since the first
of April shown marked indications
of an upward trend and a well mani
fested optimism has taken the place
among business men here interested
in trade with the United States, of
the forebodings which many of
them expressed one or two months
ago.
A canvass of the leading bankers
and Americans commercial repre
sentatives in Kio de Janeiro recently
has brought out the fact that the
old order of transactions on a free
and unpanicky basis has begun. Im
porters are placing orders for new
stocks in limited quantities and a
fair share of them arc going to
American firms and factories.
Brazilian commerce, both domestic
and foreign, has just weathered one
of the most severe storms in its
history and the very few business
failures which resulted was con
sidered remarkable by both local
and foreign business men. The crisis
was due to a number of calamities
which followed one another in rapid
succession. The freezing of about 60
per cent, of the mature coffee trees
was the first, followed closely by the
appointment of a Government Food
Commission which was obliged to
arbitarily fix prices upon certain
raw materials for industry, notably
cotton. The textile industry was
hard hit by this action and the loss
of confidence among distributors of
their product.
Early in October the infiuenze
epidemic clo—•(! mills and paralyzed
trade and this was followed by the
signature of the armistice, with a
general anticipat oi of a drop in
prices in all stap'a tommooities.
