that Mr. Chamberlain may present a
new interim budget, but this is con
sidered quite improbable. Answering
press attacks upon Mr. Bonar Law,
Premier Lloyd George has sent a mes
sage to newspapers here declaring it
would be grossly unfair to attribute
cjntinued war expenditures to any
particular member of the government.
Wants to Scrap Warships
The demand of Fisher, of Kil
torstone, former first sea lord, for the
virtual strapping of the navy, hal* of
which is already obsolete, on the
ground that a big navy is not re
quired now that Germany lias been
defeated, has been printed in all the
newspapers here and has catised a
great sensation. Naval experts who
have b;er consulted consider that
Baron Fisher's proposal is much too
drastic and fears are expressed that
there is imminent a great fight be
tween 'he advocates of a small and a
big navy. Sir Percy Scott, who, as
rear admiral, was formerly in com
mand of the first cruiser squadron,
considers that the larger battleship
is doomed and thnt money devoted to
building these ships could be better
employed in other ways. He does not,
however, agree with all of Baron
Fisher's conclusions.
Labor Day Travel Was
Heavy on Reading Lines
Labor Day travel on the Reading
Railway was the heaviest ever
known and it required close figur
ing in order to take care of the
thousands of people. Those who
passed through Reading on Satur
day and Sunday for points in the I
coal regions returned Monday eve- j
ning and it was necessary to provide |
five special- trains to accommodate
them. One of these had 17 cars and j
all were crowded. The travel from |
the local stations on Monday was j
very heavy. No one was injured,
except the young man who lost his !
life at Hamburg. j
WHERE PARENTS
HAVE HELPED,
In their mature judgment, and in :
the wealth of their experience, par- j
enta have the power to make their i
daughter happy in her work. A wise 1
choice of a place for her in the
business world often depends upon
their careful consideration of cer
tain questions.
Will her associates prove to be j
carefully chosen? Is the work per- j
manent? Is the salary satisfactory, j
and will it be increased as she gains j
in experience? Will she find an op- I
portunlty for promotion to post- (
tione where the added responsibility
means still higher salary?
Harrisburg parents have fourd j
these questions answered af- |
flrmatively when inquiring about
telephone operating for The Bell |
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania.
This company invites the interest of
fathers and mothers who wish to in
sure for their daughter work in pro
tected surroundings where she can
enjoy positive advantages.
If you are interested in having
your daughter work under these j
conditions, send her, or better yet,
go with her, to see the Chief Opera- I
tor, 208 Walnut Street.—Adv.
INTERESTING RAILROAD NEWS
Railway Labor Leaders Asking for Goverment Ownership
Left to right, Miles fU'Tlawßon, w!'"GL*LeeN* W B."i':*rter,' iv.'s. Stone and A. rt. Garret son, the big five i

REPORT SURPLUS
FOR RAILROADS
First in Many Months Under
Government Operation;
Some Figures
Washington, Sept. 3. —For the first
time in many months, government op
eration of tho railroads in July
showed a surplus instead of a deficit.
Director General Hines announced
to-day that preliminary figures of tho
month's business indicated net op
erating Income of 177,000,000. After
allowing one-twelfth of the annual
rental due the railroad companies the
net gain is about $2,000,000 as com
pared with a deficit of $22,031,000, the
preceding month, and $65,000,000 in
February, the largest deficit of the
year. The net loss to the government
for seven months is $290,526,307.
In calculating the surplus, however,
no account was taken of the wage
increase offered the shopmen, and
which has not yet been accepted by
them. It has been estimcted that the
four cents an hour advance would
mount to about $45,000,000 a year,
and as It is retroactive, the surplus
| for July may become a deficit of ap
proximately the same amount.

Egypt Celebrates Act
Attributed to U. S. Calling
For Its Independence
Rv Associated Press.
London, Sept. 3. Great enthu
siastic demonstrations were held at
Cairo and Alexandria on Saturday
and Sunday 1 consequence of the
receipt of a telegram declaring that
the foreign relations committee of
the United States Senate had de
clared that Egypt should be Inde
pendent, according to a Cairo dis
patch to the Daily Mail.
It is said that Saide Pasha Zagloul,
head of the Egyptian national depu
tation in Paris, was the author of
the telegram to Cairo.
No action has been taken by the
foreign relations committee of the
Senate regarding Egypt that would
seem to warrant demonstrations in
that country. The committee re
cently gave a hearing in which the
