: vice director of the experiment sta
' tion of the Pennsylvania State Col
lege, has returned from a special trip

CLAUDE E. BKINSEfL
C. OF C. PICNIC TO
BE BUSY EVENT
[The Fun Is Scheduled to Begin
at 12.15 P. M., Next
Thursday
"Can you imagine what Harris
' burg would be like, if more than two
hundred of its leading citizens, in
cluding merchants, bankers, railroad
men, lawyers, doctors, and the dis
ciples of nearly every other voca
tion known in Hurrisburg, would
suddenly leave the city?
"Well, that's what is going to
happen this Thursday at a quarter
after twelve o'clock, when the
Chamber of Commerce holds its an
nual picnic, and that many of its
members leave the city to take in |
the festivities."
This was the declaration made this
morntng by a member of the com
mittee in charge of the event. The
members of the committee, who are
Mercer B. Tate, chairman, George X.
Barnes, Boyd M. Ogelsby, Martin
W. Fager, and Frank J. Brady, have
• been working hard for the event,
for Chamber of Commerce picnics
have been so successful in the past,
that nothing is left undone to make
each event come up to the sttgidard
set by previous outings.
The fun is scheduled to begin at
12.15 o'clock, Thursday. Many of
the members of the Chamber have
volunteered the use of their auto
mobiles to those who do not drive
cars, and the picnickers will be I
loaded into the cars in Market
Square at that time. The trip wilt |
then be made to Guadaloupe, near j
Fort Hunter, the summer home of ]
John W. Reily, which has been the
scene of previous Chamber outings.
"Guadaloupe is filled up with the
ghosts of good times the Chamber
of Commerce has had there before,"
chortled a member of the committee
to-day. "We're sure to have a rip
roaring afternoon Thursday."
The committee in charge has had'
particularly good experience with j
one phase of Chamber of Commerce
character as exemplified in the
members. The committee is the
same one which has charge of the
regular luncheon meetings, and i
therefore knows bow to make ample
preparation for tli e viands which j
.will augment the stunts, games, anil I
good time. Just to prove thai lavish
arrangements are being made for '
everybody's appetite, a well-known !
member of the committee confided |
to-day that he is going to save up
on his eating for two days, so that
he can enjoy the day all the more.

Greek-Americans to
Petition U. S. Senate
Nicholas Notarys. 317 Market street,
left for Washington to-day with a pe
tition signed by numerous Greeks of
this city, who were soldiers in the
American Army. The petition is to
be presented to President Wilson and
the U. S. Senate along with pe
titions from five hundred other cities
of this country asking them to in
tercede in behalf of the return of
Thrace and other territory to Greece.
Mr. Notarys will represent Harris
burg in the general meeting of Greeks
in Washington when they will pre
sent their claims. The territory un
der discussion is that which was
given to Turkey by a combination of
European powers in 1827. The lands
nominally remained Greek, however,
and in 1910 Italy took them from Tur
key, and now wants to hold on to
them.
The petition comes from over 65.-
000 Greeks in the Army, and claims
| that the Greeks have a valid claim
•to Thrace, Northern Epirus, the 12
islands of the Aegean Sea and West
ern Asia Minor. The claim is based
on the principle of nationality as ad
mitted by the delegates to the l'eace
Conference.

Sneak Thieve? Robbing
City War Gardens
Some of the heavy penalties pro
vided by law for the despoilers of
war gardens are about to he im
posed upon the sneak thieves who
have twice within a short period of
time invaded the highly-cultivated
and successful garden of John M.
Shelly at 24 36 North Second street.
Not only did these marauders steal
the best tomatoes of a prized lot
in the first visit, but destroyed the
vines, and on the second trip, a day
or two ago. got away with a lot of
fine or.'ions.
There is widespread indignation
over the robbing of these and other
gardens, and steps are being taken
to apprehend the lazy loafers who
reap where they have not sown and
aim to live on the honest efforts of
industrious citizens, including many
children who have responded to the
appeal of the national and State
food departments to utlie the va
cant lots everywhere to Increase the
food supply.
WILL PROBATED
The will of C. Day Rudy, late of
this city, was probated to-day and
letters issued by Register Ed. H.
Fisher to the widow, Sarah K. Rudy.

Declares Germany Is
Grateful For American
Treatment of Prisoners
Berlin, Monday. Aug. 18. —I
America has won the deep gratitude
of Germany for her treatment of
prisoners of war and her labors for
their behalf in Siberia, declared ,
Daniel Steucklen, member of the j
National Assembly and Imperial i
commissioner for war and civilian i
prisoners, to-day at a meeting of |
majority Socialists protesting against |
the further retention of German i
prisoners in France.
The meeting was the first move by j
the Socialists in the plan to bring |
women forward as an influence for
the return of prisoners, it being felt
that they can arouse more sympathy
than men. Herr Steucklen blamed
France for the holding of these
prisoners and said the condition of.
the men there was bad. He said
the men were treated well in Italy,
but that in Japan they were miser
able, owing to different customs,
habits and methods of housing the
prisoners. He said 200 Americans
working in Siberia among German
and Austrian prisoners are doing '
good work. The empire is spending I
seven million marks per month for I
the maintenance of these prisoners, |
in addition to which there are huge [
sums available from private charity.

Mention's Harrisburg's
Police Chief in Sermon
■ "God's T'se of the ITarrisburg T?o- |
I lice Chief, J. K. Wetzel," was the |
; theme of a sermon preached by Dr. i
!J, Albert Sterrett, pastor of the j
i Monumental A. M. E. Church, on j
j Sunday morning. The minister used
; that same text, II Samuel 22nd
1 chapter, 7th verse, to which Chief
j Wetzel referred one of his recent
| correspondents when making re
[ quest that he recommend to her a
! fortune teller.
I The preacher held before his
j audience the advice given by Chief '
I Wets el and severely arraigned the j
' fortune telling practice. At the I
evening service Dr. Sterrett preach- j
cd from the subject, J'God's College >
in Hell." That the sermon was con
sidered a masterpiece, by the large |
audience, is evident by a general <
and pleasing discussion of it j
throughout Steelton this week.
Dr. Sterrett hus recently come to j
the Monumental Church from Dov- I
er, Del., where he was pastor of the
Calvary Church for ten years. He
ranks among the foremost Christian
workers of America. Many persons

dramatic and appealing influence of
his eloquence.
