TKLI.S OF WAR WORK
Dr. H. E. Wieand, of Lancaster, i
made an interesting address at the j
services in Christ Lutheran Church !
last evening. Dr. Wieand saw serv- 1
ice in France as an English instruc- j
tor for French officers and in that
way acquired some first-hand infor- |
mation as to the effect of the Araer- !
ican forces on the French popula
tion. He made the statement that j
French educational life has been I
imbued with new stimulus by its ;
contact with western religion. A j
service flag demonstration was held
at the close of the service.

MONDAY EVENING.
A Winter's Scene on the Up-Town Lake
* ITALIAN PARK
% LAKE '
For many years the girls and boys
of Harrisburg, now grown to man
hood and womanhood, have known
übout Italian Park and the lake at
Division and Third streets. Just south
of the Harrisburg Academy grounds.
But there is more interest in this
tract now than at any time in 50
years. It embraces an important
feature cf the attractive plan sub
mitted by the City Planning Commis
sion to City Council the other day
and seems to have met with the ap-

condition he should have free scope
in the performance of his duties, un
hampered by the Council of Na
tional Defense.
"Immediately he took from the
members of that council their power
to order purchases and fix prices
and soon dispensed with the serv
ices of those members of the ad
visory commission who had so de
plorably bungled the control of the
supplies for the Army."
Befriended Big Business
Judge Gary advised the advisory
commission, Mr. Graham said, that
it was operating in disregard of the
Sherman law, the Clayton law and
"all other statutes that are supposed
to regulate business, particularly
big business." When the Attorney
General was called upon by the
commission to answer Judge Gary,
Mr. Graham said, he answered that
the matters referred to as violations
of law were matters of "national
policy," rather than a legal ques
tion.
"Afterwards," Mr. Graham de
clared, "when there was evidently a
discussion in Congress as to the il
legality of members of the com
missions on the Council buying from
themselves, the Council discussed
this general policy and it was sug
gested that 'this embarrassment
might be removed by the plan of
ttm- committee reorganization now
under consideration.'
"The minutes show that on ac
count of this so-called embarrass
ment the War Industries Board was
created, and committees were ap
pointed by the National pf
Commerce, so the .letter of the raw
might be complied with, but by
which scheme no part of the meth
od of buying was changed in the
slightest degree, so far as I can
observe."
Citing cases in which he said the
Council formulated legislation be
fore war was declared, which legis
lation later was considered by Con
gress, Mr. Graham declared that on
February 15, 1917, the Council dis
cussed the draft system and. consid
ered a report from Commissioners
Samuel Gompers and Howard E.
Coffin relative to the exclusion of
labor from military service, on the
same day recommended that Her
bert Hoover be employed by the
Government in connection with
food control, and on March 3 en
dorsed the daylight saving scheme
and recommended a Federal cen
sorship of the press.
About the first thing the com
mission did was to take up the mat
ter of arranging an easy method of
communication between the manu
facturers and the Government," Mr.
Graham continued. "In several
meetings, long before war was de
clared, the commission met with the
representatives of the manufacturing
industries and formed an organiza
tion of them for selling supplies to
the Government.
Bill Against Each Other
"This method consisted of having
the representatives of various busi
nesses producing goods which the
Government would have to buy,
form themselves into committees so
they might be able to sell to the
Government direct. When war was
declared this machinery began to
move.
"Although this scheme was sup
proval of everybody who believes
in the creation of as many fresh-air
and recreation spots as possible.

All Cut and Dried
Mr. Graham concluded his state
ment by saytng so far as he had
been able to observe from the min
u;es of, the Council there had not
been an act of the so-called war
legislation which had not been dis
cussed and settled upon by the
Aiftpncil's advisory commission be-
Tore the actual declaration of Xvar.

j protest against them."

i Stowaway Hides in
\ Rigging of R-3't
N*ow York. July 7.—That the first
crossing of a lighter-than-air ship
should lack none of the excitement
connected with a seagoing voyage,
there was a stowaway.
W. W. Ballantyne. a rigger, who
was once a member of the crew.
! was told a few days before the
| dirigible "hopped off" that he would
not be taken on the flight. Bal
lantyne, who was a prize-fighter be
fore he enlisted, went to the head
! coxswain and learned that it was
necessary to lighten the crew by
three men and that he was one of
the "unlucky ones." The way he
changed his luck was told in this
way by the stowaway:
"I'd worked hard, I had, bloody
hard, on the bally blimp, but that
didn't matter so much. You see,
I'd never been to America, had my
heart placed on it. and my mind,
too. So I sneaks out a bit before
midnight, about two hours before
the R-34 left Scotland. I hides in
the rigging. Xo one saw me and
we were off. When the balloon was
about 200 feet up I changes my posi
tion to a more comfortable one. I
hid between the gas bags No. 6 and
No. 7 at the stern of the ship.
"I foraged some food and water
and intended to remain there until
the end of the trip, unobserved, I
hoped. But I was outa luck. I took
Sick. I guess I was the only man
aboard who was sick on the trip. I
remained stowed away until I was
i on the point of becoming delirious
! from fever.
"When we were about sixty miles
' out Sergeant Watson stumbles over
| my head, and of course he takes me
jto the head coxswain. The officers
| couldn't do nothing then, and I saw
j one of 'em smile—so I knowed I'd
| see the land where they pay SIOO,OOO

Altoona Honors Men Who
Return From Overseas
| Altoona celebrated the homecoming
; of the Blair county soldiers with a
j fine program covering Friday and
j Saturday, and as a fitting climax, a
j religious patriotic service was held
in the First Lutheran Church yester
day under the direction of the Bev.
I Dr. M. J. Kline, former pastor of the
i Bethlehem Lutheran Church in this
J city. Dr. Kline stated in a public
j announcement that it was not until
j America entered the war—Christian
America—that victory came to the
| Allies, and it was his thought that no
! community celebration in honor of
! the returning soldiers would be
I complete without a religious service
in recognition of the hand of God
in the winning of the war.
Dr.. Kline in his morning sermon
gave a brief resume of the history of
the Republic, its wars, the achieve
ments in the peaceful arts and indus
tries, the realization and develop
ments of the ideals of government of
the people, for the people and by the
people and the priceless heritage
i which has been given to the whole
world by the heroic sacrifices of the
, n'oble lives of the sons of the Repub
| He.
At the evening service Lieut. Col.
Fred H. Bloomhardt delivered an in-
I terestlng address. Many returned
soldiers were in the audience and
the music was of special interest.
Prohibition State
Committee to Meet
The Prohibition State Committee
will meet in an annual session In
State Headquarters, 2X2 North Third
street, to-morrow morning at 10 i
o'clock, Dr. B. E. F. Prugh, chair
man, announced to-day. Delegates
from every section of the State will
be in attendance.
At this time, according to Dr.
Prugh's announcement, "several im
portant matters will come before the
committee for consideration, such as
plans for party work for the year to
come, consideration of world work,
so-called, and a review of the work
of the past year." It Is probable that
j prohibition enforcement measures
will be discussed.
OLD TREK REMOVED

CALLS FOR CURB
ON MEAT PRICES
Department of Agriculture
Says Retail Cost of Beef
Is Not Justified
Washington. July 7. —In recom
mending that joint Federal and State
supervision be effected over the
"manufacture, sale, and distribution
of meat products," the Department
of Agriculture, through Clarence
Ousley, Acting Secretary, declared
that the retail prices of beef to the
consuming public in every part of
the nation were not justified by con
ditions found in the wholesale mark
et or by the returns now obtained
by the producers.
The situation which confronts the
nation, Mr. Ousley says, demands
drastic action, as tlje public is not
consuming beef on anything like the
pre-war scale, and as a result there
is great danger that the livestock
industry will suffer a decline. Pro

The need for the conservation of
beef and lamb for export to Europe
is now at an end, Mr. Ousley states,
as Great Britain, Italy and other
European countries have already
turned to South America and Aus
tralia for these meats and require
only the pork products of the United
States. He adds that the present

a cause of the falling ofT In the pub

protect the consumers.
Mr. Ousley quotes figures to show
that retail prices have not decreased
in ratio to the decrease in wholesale
prices. He also states that the
packing industry is obtaining big
returns from byproducts as a result
of the jump of almost 50 per cent,
