RESTRICT USE OF
COAL IN BERLIN
Railroad Service Cut; Cafes
and Restaurants Con
serve Fuel
Berlin, Sept. 29. —To conserve
Berlin's coal supply, a move will be
made to change the closing hours
for cafes and restaurants from 11.30
p. m. to an earlier hour not yet de
cided upon.* The theaters and res
taurants will be restricted in their
use of light, and Berlin will have to
expect a material restriction even
before the winter so that coal can
be saved.
The railroad service also will be
materially restricted —sleeping cars
and dining cars will probably be en
tirely abolished owing to the in
creasing shortage of locomotives.
Germany is now short of 650 loco
tives, while 14,000 cars are due to
France.
There seems no lack of raw ma
terials to the railroad foundries, but
the workmen cannot or will not do
liver their peace-time quality for
quantity of labor. A locomotive in
peace time could be built in a week
by 115 workmen. Now 213 work
men are necessary to build one.
The emergency workers of Great
er Berlin have published an appeal
to the miners of Germany urging in
creased production, since they say
a catastrophe threatens Berlin
through lack of coal which makes
it. iinpossible to produce building
ißfhterials, notably cement.
I Waterways are being used in all
cases as K substitute for
steam transportation.

1! Court Decides We Have the Right to Give I
1 WILLARD SERVICE I
I On Storage Batteries
The case of Troy B. Wildermuth against D. J. Moran for alleged
false advertisement was dismissed promptly by Judge Henry as unjus
tified and lacking in any evidence to warrant a case. In fact, it wasn't
even necessary to present our witnesses.
D. J. Moran proved to the satisfaction of the Court that he had I
taken the instruction course at the Willard factory and been duly auth
orized by the W illard Company to c ome to Harrisburg and invest his I
money in the Willard Service Station, the Court held that Moran was
perfectly within his rights when h 2 advertised that he gave service on
Willard batteries or bought and sold them.
I We do not try to prevent any one else from giving service on '
Willard or any other battery, but we do claim that we are perfectly
qualified to render the best of service on Willard or any other battery.
In fact, we have many satisfied custodiers who will substantiate tfre
statement that we have taken their batteries which were condemned
by others and put them into first-class working order.
When you have batteries that are condemned consult us before
throwing them away. We will give you expert opinion as to its true
condition without trying to influence you to buy a new battery unless
absolutely necessary.

ISSUES REPORT
ON STOCKS SOLD
Red Cross Statement Corrects
Inaccurate Stories of
Big Sales
Paris, Sept. 29.—Because many
Inaccurate reports of large sales of
American Red Cross merchandise
have appeared in the past few
weeks, Red Cross headquarters in
Paris has issued a statement ex
plaining that the only materials
which have been sold are certain
perishables, second-hand equipment,
surplus stocks and articles which
can no longer be used for direct re
lief work, either in France or in
Eastern Europe.
The total sales of surplus and sec
ond-hand material by the American
Red Cross in Europe will aggregate
not more than 30,000,000 francs,
says the Red Cross, while the value
of the relief material distributed in
Europe during July and August
alone will amount to more than
100,000,000 francs.
Operations Widespread
The American Red Cross is now
conducting operations in 17 Euro
pean countries. The relief material
distributed in France, mainly in the
devastated districts, since the armis
tice, is valued at over 125,000,000
francs, while in the same period
other European countries have re
ceived more than 200,000,000 francs'
worth of similar supplies, Including
not only medical and surgical ma
terial, but also clothing, food, bar
racks, etc.
Such sales as have been author
ized in France have been conducted
through the American Red Cross
Liquidation Board. The official
statement says regarding this ma
terial:
"Unexpectedly heavy expenses of
work in Poland and the Balkan
States, and the beginning of new
relief activities in Western and
Southern Russia, made it advisable
to turn these stocks into cash to
assist the relief programs, as well
as to save certain of the accumu
lated stocks from total loss.
"Of all the relief material in the
American Red Cross warehouses on
May 1, one-third was set aside for
distribution in the devastated dis
tricts of France. The distribution
of this material is still continuing
and will continue for months to
come, while the shipments of relief
material to the commissions in
Eastern Europe are on a constantly I
increasing BcaVe and will continue
thus for many months.
"In the meantime the shipment
of further relief material from the
United States continue in a large
way, and we have recently received
notice from America of the early
shipment of supplies valued at
nearly 40,000,000 francs."
Plague of Crows
Destroys Irish Crops
New York, Sept. 29. —Millions of
of black crows have been invading
Ireland the past year and destroy
ing nearly half of the harvest of
the farmers of the Emerald Isle,
according to Peter A. Clune, a
Knights of Columbus secretary, who
just returned from abroad. Mr.
Clune was in Belgium, England,
France and Ireland, and in the lat
ter country found that the farm
ers are heartbroken because they
have no practical method to frus
trate the Invaders. The crows have
been arriving in large numbers the
past two years, and the Irishmen
claim the -birds have been driven
out of France and Belgium forests
by the heavy cannonading during the
war and discovered Ireland.
Mr. Clune explained that the farm
ers cannot use any buckshot on the
birds because the country has been
heavily garrisoned by the English
government with troops. Within the
past twelve months every farmer
has been deprived of his favorite
fowling piece by the soldiers who
have seized all kinds of flrearmß.
Some of the farmers tried paris
green poisoning, but the birds still
kept coming. The crowds are very
bold and unlieedful of the scarecrow
effigies thrown about the fields.
Harvard Man Finds
Comet Speeding to Earth
New York, Sept. 29.—A comet of
the eighth magnitude is speeding
nearer to the earth at such a high
rate of speed that it will become
visible to the naked eye just as the
Harvard Endowment Fund campaign

Hero, Vermont, on August 20 when
It was approximately right ascen

Greenwich with a declination of 25
degrees north. At present it is very
near the sun but is traveling at a
high rate of speed on a northerly
course and-wlthin two weeks will be
very near the north star. October
16 it will be approximately 4,000,000
miles from the earth when it will be
four times brighter than it is now
and may even become a "brilliant"
comet.
