ENOUGH ICE IN CITY TO AVOID RATION CARDS Famine Here Unlikely Unless Continued Hot Weather Exhausts Supply According to Frederick DeWalt, of the United Ice and Coal Company, Har risburg will not be reduced to the ex tremities Philadelphia is being forced to in regard to the ice question. In Philadelphia there ' has been a meeting of city ice dealers and manu facturers and it has been decided to limit each family to a certain number of pounds, probably 50, a day: an equitable system of city-wide distri bution is being insUtuted. Unless Har risburg suffers an unusual number of hot spells such as the one last week, there will be no danger of the supply becoming exhausted and such drastic measures being taken. The average consumption of ice per individual is es timated at 1,000 pounds a year. Seventy per cent, of this amount is used in 100 days during the hot season. It is said that people are buying too much ice and using It carelessly. On account of the very small har vest of natural ice, which constitutes ordinarily two-thirds of the entire sup ply, the present amount is exceedingly small. In this city, however, unless un usual conditions result, there will be enough to comfortably supply the com munity. Mr. DeWalt said this morning that he was in touch with several points in New York State, where it might be possible to get some ice in case of a famine. Along the Hudson, however, where a great proportion of the ice is cut, there was practically a zero har vest last winter and this leaves New York State in a much worse shape than Pennsylvania. Everything which can be done is be ing done by Mr. DeWalt and he prom ises that the poor will not suffer from lack of ice. Everyone is cautioned, however, to go easy on the supply and not use it up carelessly.

Tacit Agreement Calls For Trial of Ex-Kaiser in London; All Agreed Paris, Monday, July 1. What purports to be an authentic account of the incident in the Allied council upon which Premier Lloyd George based his recent statement that for mer Emperor William would bo be tried in London has become avail able from a usually reliable source. It is stated that at a meeting of the council last week the British Pre mier said to his fellow conferees something as follows: "I suppose you have no objection to the trial of the Kaiser in Lon? don." The Premier looked about the cir cle the account continues, and no one objected. Indeed, it is said Pre mier Clemenceau gave his arol ap proval. This tacit agreement was never recorded in writing and Sir Maurice Han key, the British secretary did not include it in his regular report of the proceedings of the council. The assumption is, however, it was added, that Premier Loyd George later had unofficial conversations on the sub ject with one or more members of the council. BRITISH DIRIGIBLE WILL GET AWAY EARLY TOMORROW Engines of R-3b Being Overhauled Today and Fuel, Water, Ballast and Hydrogen Are Taken on; Ready Tonight By Associated Press. Minculn, N. Y., July B.—The en forced stuy of the giant British dirigible R-34, made necessary by unfavorable weather reports cover ing the next forty-eight hours and repairs to her motors, brought hun dreds of visitors to Roosevelt field to-day. The big airship will not take off on her return trip across the Atlantic ocean until aftor dawn to-morrow. In making the an nouncement concerning the return cruise, Brigadier General E. M. Maitland, special representative of the British air ministry aboard the dirigible, positively declared that the R-3 4 would start to-morrow morn ing, "wind or no wind." Mechanics began work this morn ing in overhauling the engines of the R-34 preparatory to the begin ning of her return flight. It was be lieved that the overhauling will be completed by to-night. Work on the engines was rendered impossible on Monday by the swaying of the huge gas bag in the strong wind that swept across Roosevelt field. To Carry Mail Buck Twice last night the dirigible, which is moored to massive con crete anchors, began to settle to ward the ground, but her movement was detected in time for the mem bers of the crew to release a part of the big airship's water ballast and thus prevent injury to the machin ery by coming in contract with the ground. Unless present plans are changed the R-34 will sail over New Yorjc and then make directly out to sea, probably over a course, slightly north of the southern route if con ditions are favorable. Should strong winds prevail in an unfavorable di rection the northern route will be taken. General Maitland estimated that about 3,000 miles would be cov ered on the return trip. On its homeward Journey the R -3 4 will carry twenty-five pounds of mail. About 100 official letters have been received at the New York post office, from officials in this country, congratulating British officials on the success of the trip and about 200 letters had been received yes terday from newspapers and private individuals marked for transmission to England by the dirigible. Those were all put in the mall bag of the R-34, The early starting hour Is neces sarq, Major Scott said, because be fore sunrise the temperature is not so high as to effect the petrol sup ply. By starting before sunrise, Ma jor Scott explained, he would be enabled to take on 4,500 gallons of fuel —"not enough to play about with," he added, but a sufficient supply to last throughout the cruise providing favorable westerly winds were encountered along the mer chant ship trade route which he plans to follow across to the British Isles. The determination reached not to i hav* the dirigible pass over Phila l delphia, Washington and other cities, before setting a course east ward, General Charlton explained, resulted from the unanticipated sit uation which the Britishers found upon reaching here. They had ex pected to find a sheltered spot in stead of an exposed one. Here for the lirst time in its career, the dirigible was forced to remain on land elsewhere than within a hangar shielded from winds. To tarry here longer under such conditions. Gen eral Charlton said, was to run a "willful risk" for which the air min istry did not care to assume re sponsibility. Army and Navy officials who are handling the dirigible while she is here received a temporary scare shortly after 10 o'clock last night when the stern suddenly started to settle. Quick action on the part of an Army balloon officer, who ordered a man to climb Into the car and al low several tons of water ballast at the stern to escape, prevented any damage being done to the craft With the release of the water, the stern rose into the air and soon as sumed a correct posture. Save for the substitution of Col onel William N. Hensley, Jr., of the aviation section of the American Army, for Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lansdowne, of the Ameri can naval aviation service, Major Scott said he expected to return with the same crew and passengers that he brought to this country. However, he was undecided whether W. W. Ballantine, a former mem ber of the crew, who stowed away on the westbound trip, would be al lowed to make the return journey. Ballantine worked as a member of the crew on the way over and has been assisting with the preparations for the return. BIG FINE FOR PROFITEERS By Associated Press.
