.WILSON REPLIES
x TO QUESTIONS OF
LABORCOUNCIL
Declares Covenant Forum to
Hear All Claims For Self-
Determination
By Associated Press
On BO*nl President Wilson's Spe
, dal, Sept. 17. —Setting: forth pub
licly for the first time his Interpre
tation of the Leaguo of Nations
Covenant as it affects Ireland, Pres
ident Wilson said in a statement to
day that the League would consti
tute a forum before which could bo
brought all claims for self-determi
nation which are likely to affect the
peace of the world.
"The Covenant would not bind
the United States to assist in pat
ting down rebellion in any foreign
- country," he asserted, "nor would it
limit the power ct this country to
recognize the independence of any
people who seek to secure free
dom."
Replies to Council
He said Ireland's case was not
heard at Versailles because it did
not come within the jurisdiction of
the Peace Conference.
The President's statement was in
reply to a series of questions sent
to him by the San Francisco Labor
Council. It is understood that
within a few days he will reply sim
ilarly to the questions put by other
labor bodies regarding Shantung
and the representation of the Brit
ish dominions in the League assem
bly. Replying directly to a question
as to his attitude toward self-deter
mination for Ireland, Mr. Wilson
said his position was expressed m
Article eleven of the Covenant, un
der which it is declared that any
member nation can call the atten
tion of the League to any circum
stances whatever affecting interna
tional relations which threaten to
disturb international peace "or the
good understanding between na
tions upon which peace depends."

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
down a rebellion of its subjects or
conquered peoples?
Answer—lt does not.
2—Under the Covenant can this
nation independently recognize a
government whose people seek to
achieve or have achieved their in
dependence from a member of the
league?
Answer —The Independent action
of the government of the United
States in a matter of this kind is
in no way limited or affected by the
Covenant of the League of Nations.
3—Under the Covenant are those
subject nations or peoples only that
are mentioned in the Peace Treaty
entitled to the right of self-determi
nation or does the League possess
the right to accord a similar priv
ilege to other subject nations or
peoples?
Answer—lt was not possible for
the Peace Conference to act with
regard to the self-determination of
any territories except those which
had belonged to the defeated em
pires, but in the Covenant in the
League of Nations it has set up for
the first time in Article 11 a forum
to which all claims of self-determi
nation which are likely to disturb
the peace of the world or the good
understanding between nations
| upon which the peace of the world
depends can be brought.
*—Why was the case of Ireland
not heard at the Peace Conferencs?
And what is your position on the
subject of self-determination for
Ireland?
Answer—The case of Ireland was
not heard at the Peace Conference
because the Peace Conference had
no jurisdiction over any question of
that sort, which did not affect ter
ritories which belonged to the de
feated empires. My position on the
subject of self-determination for
Ireland is expressed in Article 11
of the Covenant in which I may say
I was particularly interested, bo
cause it semed to me necessary foi
the peace and freedom of the world
that a forum should be created to
which all peoples could bring any
matter which was likely to affect
the peace and freedom of the world.

"the citizens of Glendale," and read:
"As a token of our high esteem
and appreciation of your devoted ef
forts for the benefit of mankind."
Itobert T. Small, Washington cor

SEARCH REVEALING
HIGHER DEATH TOLL

or damage to property. Each report
from searchers, however, revealed
the Increasing magnitude of the dis
aster.
The great piles of wreckage strewn
from one end of the city to the other
may conceal numerous be dies, it is
believed, and to-day hundreds of men
were at work exploring them. Offic
ials generally were agreed the death
list would exceed 100, and some un
official estimates placed it as between
200 and 300, with hundreds of persons
injured or suffering from exposure.
Estimates of the propery loss varlo-1
from 310,000,000 to 315,000,000.
The best available Information here
early to-day placed the known dead
[in Corpus Christi at 47. Seventy-sev
en bodies, all blackened and bruised,
were reported to have been washed
ashore last night on the north side
of Nueces bay, upon which Corpus
Christl is situated. Other points also
reported the washing ashore of bod
ies during the night.
No Trace of Soldiers
Military officials were exerting
every resource to-day to ascertain
the fate of 20 or more soldiers who
were washed out into the bay while
the storm was at its height and of
whom there has been found no trace.
The men, members oX Company I,
Thirty-seventh Infantry and other
reglmgnts on border duty were at
the government rest camp here for a
week and furlough when the camp
was washed away.
Captain B. M. Egeland, of Webster,
8. D., camp commander, was drowned
during the storm and his wife also
Is believed to have lost her life.
Attempts were being made to-day
to rig out several sail boats to cross
Nueces bay to rescue 25 persons who
are reported in desperate straits at
White Point
Hrfngrrs Starring
A message was brought into Corpus
Christi to-day saying 25 bodies were
at White Point and that 25 refugees
there were starving.
Many strange incidents are coming
to light as the story of the storm
unfolds.
Find Baby Alive
After floating on the open bay more
than two days, a ten-months old baby
was hauled ashore late yesterday,
fastened to a raft. The baby was
alive and in fairly good condition.
A fisherman of Rock Port, named
Biggins, was carried across Puerto
bay, and more than half way to Sin
ton over the plain. Biggins said he
left Rock Port in a skiff Sunday, but
was soon adrift, with nothing but
a life belt which carried him until he
was enabled to climb upon a house
top which came in his path. Escap
ing from the chilly waters was little
relief, however, for sharing his raft
were a number of large rattlesnakes.
A tree top with several additional
reptiles drifted against the house top,
and Higgins fought for hours before
he dislodged them with a piece of tim
ber.
Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. 17. —
Forty-seven victims of the tropical
hurricane which swept over Corpus
Christi and this section early Sun
day morning had been brought to
the temporary morgue in the county
courthouse last night. In addition
to the deaths in this city, fifty-six
were reported dead in the vicinity of
Portland, across Nueces Bay fri>m
Corpus Christi.
With the death list mounting and
the property loss now placed in the
neighborhood of $10,000,000, the
people of Corpus Christi to-day seem
ingly were Just coming to a full real-
I ration of the catastrophe through
which they passed. Every industry
in the city is prostrated, business is
at a standstill, communication of all
kinds demoralised and the food and
housing problem acute.
Dallas, Texas, Sept. 17.—A staff
correspondent of the Dallas News
sends the following dispatch under
date of Sinton, Texas:
"Seventy-seven bodies, black with
oil until some could not be identi
fied, were washed ashore on the
north side of Nueces bay to-day.
"Of the seventy-seven bodies re
covered from this side of the coast
country to-day, thirty-eight were
taken from West Portland, twenty
nine from White Point, nine from
Sinton and one from Odem."
State machinery for the relief of
storm sufferers was completed late
Tuesday by Governor Hobby, who
ordered units of the Texas National
Guard to relieve Federal troops, in
charge of the Eltuation at Corpus
Christi, as quickly as transportation
could be arranged. The Governor
issued a proclamation urging prompt
contributions of money and supplies.
Three relief trains reached Corpus
Christi to-day with food, bedding,
clothing and medical supplies for
the thousands of homeless and
stricken residents, and other trains
were en route. Two relief trains
were repored stalled by washouts at
Alice, Texas. ■
Seven scout airplanes were or

Latest estimates placed the prop
erty loss in Corpus Christ! at $lO,-

cated the damage at Port Aransac

President Frank B. Musser and

for use of Market street to Fourteenth

of the track In Thirteenth street be

This plan will be submitted to High

did not look with favor on the plan
for a single track on the approach.
There was also a plan for two tracks
on ThirteenLjj street discussed. The
temporary plan will be effective until
the bridge is finished nnd Mr. Greiner
said that it would facilitate work of

pick up parties along the road or
to carry people to and from work.
The companies contended that there
would be no schedule and that it
would be a new kind of common

any freight handling. Applications
were made to-day for certificates for

COMMUNITY FETE
IN OAK WOODS
i Bcllevue Park Association En
joys Out-Door Events With
Dancing After Dusk
There's nothing like a commun
ity club to get all the folks of a
neighborhood interested in each
other and their locality, and so the
fourth annual picnic of the Bellevue
Park Association held yesterday
afternoon in the Oak Woods was a
most delightful and friendly e\ent.
Over a hundred residents and
property owners of the vicinity
gathered for the outing. There wore
games for the children, tennifc,
quoits, baseball for those who cn
• joyed them and the women busied
themselves in various ways.
A general sifpper was served un
der the trees and there was mubic
and a big bonfire that blazed up
beautifu/y as the night came on.
After dusk many of the folks went
to the homo of Mr. and Mrs.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
ITS HOME SERVICE
[Continued from First Page.]
i
has done for the war-stricken refu
gees of the invaded countries of
Europe.
It was a new idea in Red Cross
work, and it required sanction from
headquarters before it could be put
Into effect, but Airs. Jennings did not
hesitate either for lack of uuthorlty
or over the fact that the duties she
proposed to undertake would require
endless work and constant effort on
her own part and for her associates.
She saw the need; that was enough
to prompt her motherly heart to act.
So a letter was written to the
Pennsylvania headquarters, asking
permission to extend the homo serv
ice work to persons outside the Fed
eral war service zone, and the an
swer came back promptly that the
American Red Cross noted with In
terest the pioneer work the Har
risburg Chapter proposed to under
take, and extended to It full au
thority to go as far as It liked,
tfltc the Widow's C7ru.sc
The next step was to procure an
appropriation for the work, and the
Chapter set aside S3OO for the ex
periment.
"It was like moving in the dark,"
said Mrs. Jennings to-day. "We had
to map out an entirely new Held of
activity, and S3QO seemed like a tiny
sum under the circumstances. But
our fund has been like the widow's
cruse. It is almost as large now
as when we started some months
ago, notwithstanding that thirteen
cases, many of them requiring major
surgical operations and prolonged
hospital care, have been treated or
are about to be. When we need
money for some such case it is
always forthcoming from some one
of the good people of Harrisburg,
and so we are going right ahead,
knowing that somehow the expenses
we incur will be met We are glad
that Harrisburg Chapter Is pioneer
ing in this direction and hope to see
the work extended to all parts of
the country."
Airs. Jennings paid a high compli
ment to Miss Rlngland, the secre
tary, upon whom much of the de
tail falls. She it was who arranged
a conference of influential Red
Cross workers of Dauphin county as
far east as Hummelstown and Lin
glestown, the whole upper end, the
West Shore towns and Perry county,
which constitute the Harrisburg dis
trict, and every one who attended
was instructed to look out for cases
requiring medical attention or any
other kind of home service in their
localities. The result has been re
markable.
Mrs. Jennings. Miss Ringland and
Miss Mary Kelker have person
ally visited every home reported,
and in some "oses had to make
three or four trips before they were
able to accomplish what they set
out to do. Mothers either could not
see their children taken to a hos
pital, or the motives of the visitors
were misunderstood, or the children
themselves were opposed. These
and other obstacles had to be over
come, but slowly the kindly, moth
erly attitude of the Red Cross work
ers won the day, and the work has
been made a great success.
The same loving consideration
that has promoted the service is re
sponsible for the withholding of all
names of those benefited. But of
the cases and the results, Mrs. Jen
nings and Miss Rlngland will talk
by the hour.
Some of the Cases
One of the first cases reported
was from the lower end of Perry
County. There Mrs. Jennings and
Alias Rlngland found a little child
suffering from terrible burns, her
face disfigured, her eyes slowly fall
ing and her arms stiffened so she
could not move them from the elbow
down. Bright of mind, attractive of
manner and cheerful of disposition,
this little sufferer is now one of the
model pattents In a great hospital at
Philadelphia, where her sight Is
being restored, the awful sores on
her face are being heaf.id and she
Is able to move her arms.- Under her
pillow is a little pocketbook and a
mirror, which are her treasures.
For weeks the nurse did not know
she had the looking glass, which the
little girl had concealed to watch
her own progress toward recovery,
and every sign of Improvement has
brought with it fresh cheer and
encouragement.
"You. are much .better, Myrtle,"
said Mrs. Jennings on a recept visit.
"Oh, I know. I am," said the little
child. "Every day I' examine my
face, and some time I hope to be
HO r 11C k*s the Original
Malted Milk. Avoid
Imitations n4 .Substitutes
pretty again, like other little girls."
The Next Trip
Mrs. Jennings, Miss Rlngland and
Miss Kelker will make another trip
to Philadelphia on Friday of the
present week, taking with them the
lame lad of Eliznhethvllle and those
others enumerated at the beginning
of this article.
Hilda a Lovable ClUld
Meantime, life is being brightened
for the little lady of Small Valley
who wants to be able to walk and
go to school. The other day Mrs.
Jennings took to her home a black
board, a desk, a set of block letters
and a series of puzzle pictures. Now
Hilda, for that is her first name, is
able to tell all her letters and to
write her name. Hilda has an ex
ceptionally bright mind. She can do
fancy work and embroidery, and she
draws all of her own designs, which
are of unusual merit. Now,
through the kindness of Miss Kol
ker, she Is learning beadwork and
greatly pleased with her progress.
Hers is a lovable disposition and the
Red Cross workers are very fond
of her. .
Others whom Mrs. Jennings and
her assistants have helped are a
9-year-old lad of Williamstown, an
orphan victim of infantile paraly
sis, who has received braces for his
legs and sptaie, and alcohol for rub
bing and milk daily out of the funds
of the Red Cross; a 9-year-old girl
of Willinmstown, orphaned by the
Influenza, furnished with glasses and
throat operation performed; helpless
family In Duncannon tided over ill
ness; Wiconisco child whose eye was
pierced by scissors two years ago,
treated at hospital and spectacles
provided; widow and family pro
vided with monthly sum at Lykens,
father having died of flu; Perry
county man, supporter of six, losing
his sight, taken under treatment
with possibility of saving eyes; Lun
disburg soldier, wound never healed,
given hospital treatment; Lykens
child, aged XI, infantile paralysis
victim. Red Cross furnished exami
nation and braces; child, aged 12,
poorly developed, under-nourished,
rheumatic, treatment provided.
Young Girl Saved
But even more interesting is the'
ease of Miss Blank, a Harrisburg |
girl, deserted by her guardians, dis
couraged and headed for the street,
who is now in college and In the
way of making a great success.
The Bed Cross took her in, her
only support being a soldier then
In the service of his country and
not yet discharged, and made her a
clerk in the offices. A prominent
Bed Cross woman saw possibilities In
her and provided for her education
in college. That was more than a
year ago. Bast spring she finished
her freshman year second in her
class, and is out for first p'ace this
year. The Bed Cross is her new
guardian and the three women who
placed her in the way of getting an
education she writes to as her "three
mothers."
"Don't you think this kind of
work well worth doing?" asked Mrs.
Jennings, in relating the incident.
"Don't you think the public will
support It? We are happy to be the
pioneers in this branch of Red Cross
activity. We hope that other chap
ters will fo'low and that funds will
be provided so that we may enlarge
our work."

The Dauphin Deposit Trust Company now has a Savings Department and
invites savings accounts, upon which it will pay interest at 2°/o a year, com
pounded semi-annually.
Every member of your family ought to have a savings account. Even if
you already have a savings account, start another one with this strong old
institution for yourself or for someone in whose welfare you are interested.

HERSHEYADDS
NEW BUSINESS
Creamery Company Begins
Manufacture of Chocolate
For Wholesale Trade
Ell N. Hershey, of the Hershey
Creamery Company, told the mem
bers of the Harrisburg Rotary Club
last evening at the meeting in the
Y. M. C. A., that his company has
embarked on the manufacture of
chocolate bars. At present the com
pany is manufacturing only in ten
pound bars for the wholesale trade,
but as soon as machinery can be pro-
Ccured chocolate will be turned out
by the Hershey Company for the
retail trade. Mr. Hershey distribut
ed samples of his confection last
evening and the llotarians were un
animous in pronouncing it the "best
ever." The club members were Mr.
Hershey's guests and enjoyed ice
cream and what tasted very much
like fresh strawberries put up by
the creamery company. S. H.
Rutherford catered.
It was quite a Hershey evening,
the ex-president of the club being
chairman of the committee on the
philosophy of Rotary, and having as
his assistants E. S. Herman, William
S. Esslck, W. M. McCord and S. 3.
Rutherford, put on a little program
of Rotnry instruction that was very
pleasing to the members of the club
and educational to the new members,
Mr. Hershey, Mr. Essick and Mr.
Herman were the speakers.
Captain George F. Lumb, head of
the State Police, threw a scare into
the club when he threatened to re
sign because "John Olmsted had ul
ieged that he, as head of the Slate
Police, had been heard talking poli
tics," and as the Captain is one of
the most popular members of the
organization the Rotarians were all
"het tip" over the incident until it
was discovered that the date the
resignation was to take effect was
not October 1, 1919, hut October 1.
1999. It was sidetracked midst the
laughter of the club members.

Old Age Deferred
BY DR. LEE H. SMITH.
Business men who must speed up the works and make busines
boom during these days—after the war—must recognize the necer
sity of keeping fit. When mind is befogged, when you have du ;
headaches or feel logy, when not "up to snuff," keep the bowe:;
free with a mild laxative. In the morning take a tepid sponge bat
(cold water may be used if it does not chill), follow with a brisk ru >
down; a sufficient "setting up" exercise in good air until you are i::
a warm glow. Have you tried it lately?
Don't let the poisons accumulate in the intestines cither, but tr*
a dose of castor oil the first thing on arising, or a pleasant laxative
occasionally, such as one made up of May-apple, aloin and jalap, rollee
into a tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold in every drug store as Dr
Pierce s Pleasant Pellets. Then a cup of hot water before breakfast,
and you II feel better than a king! If you continue in life thus, you
can pass a Life Insurance examination at sixty.
If you wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if you wan
to increase your chances for a long life, you should drink plenty o.
soft (rain) or distilled water daily between meals. Then procure at th
drug store Dr. Pierce's Anuric (anti-uric-acid). This "Anuric" drive
the uric acid out and relieves backache and rheumatism, as well a
dney trouble. Anuric dissolves uric acid as hot tea dissolves su£a:.
