Washington, Oct. 6.—Acting upon the "express direction of the Presi dent and Mrs. Wilson" Secretary Tumulty to-day made public a state ment containing an itemized list of presents received by them while in Europe. Mr. Tumulty's statement follows: "While on his western trip the President's attention was called to the resolution of Representative Rodenberg, of Illinois, and the state ments of Senators Penrose and Sher man in regard to gifts received by the President and Mrs. Wilson, while they were in Europe. "Senator Sherman indicated the basis of the various stories touching this matter when he said that 'cloak room gossip laid the values of these gifts at half a million dollars.' Sen ator Penrose said he had been in formed that the Presidential party 'brought back to this country pres ents from crowned heads and for eign Governments amounting to sev eral million dollars.' "The Facts" "Here are the facts: "Outside of a considerable number of small gifts, such as books, walking sticks, an old silver dish found in the ruin of Txiuvain, war souvenirs made by soldiers out of war material and numerous medals struck off in | his honor, the following are the only | important gifts received by the Presi- j dent in Europe: "In England: Photograph of the King and Queen of England.

"A Mosaic presented by the Pope. | "In France: "A bronze figure, presented by a body of students. "The President also received num erous honorary degrees from nearly all of the countries of Europe, and many resolutions of respect and gratitude. "Knowing that there is a consti- | tutional inhibition against the Presi -dent receiving gifts from foreign J rulers or States, the President, after ! consulting the Secretary of State, was preparing a list of the presents he intended to ask the permission of Congress to netain, just before he started on hts western trip. Mrs. Wilson's Gifts "In addition to the gifts received by the President, the following tokens were presented to Mr. Wilson while she was in Europe: "In France: "A pin of Parisian enamel with : tiny diamond chips, presented in 1 Hotel de Vllle by the city of Paris, j "Linen hand embroidered lunch set (small cloth and dozen napkins) : in a case, presented through Madame | Poincare and Madame Pichon by the . working women of France.

Seems as if It Might Be a Good Idea For Us to Wait and See How Those Who Have Tried It Like It CONDITION OF WILSON SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Spends Another Good Night; Consultation Held by Physicians By Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 6. President Wilson continues to improve and passed a satisfactory night, said a bulletin issued at 11 a. m. to-day signed by Rear Admiral Grayson, the President's physician: Rear Ad miral Stitt, head of the naval medi cal school here and Dr. Sterling Ruffin, of this city. The bulletin follows: "White House, October 6, 11 a. m. "The tmprmtrcment In the President's condition noted yes terday lias continued. He had a satisfactory night. (Signed) "GRAYSON, "RUFFIN, "sri'iT." This was the first time Drs. Stitt and Ruffin, who have been assisting Dr. Grayson, have signed the bulle tin, which was issued after a con- j sultation between the doctors. Wants to Work Amplifying the bulletin Dr. Gray son said there was a slight improve ment in the President's condition and that he again insisted upon at tending to public matters which he considered pressing. The President particularly desired to write a mes sage to the industrial conference to be read at the opening session to day. Dr. Grayson said he was not yet ready for the President to do any work any would continue to insist that he h£ve absolute rest and keep his mind awsy from official mat ters. Collers at the White House to-day included Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska. the administration leader in the Senate Treaty fight, who told Secretary Tumulty to assure the President he need not worry over the Treaty. Mr. Hitchcock t said i' was not expected that there would be any deveuopment in connection with the Treaty fight requiring the President's attention for two or three weeks. WII.I; RATIFY TO-DAY / By Associated Press• Paris, Oct. 6. (Havas) Ac cording to a dispatch from Rome, a royal decree ratifying the Peace Treaty with Germany will be signed to-day.

NO SOLICITORS TO BE NAMED IN MEMORIAL DRIVE Soldiers and Their Families Not Expected to Contrib ute to the Fund EVERY MAN HIS OWN CANVASSER Every Harrisburger -was this morning commissioned an active member in the most unique war campaign ever staged in Har risburg. In this campaign, there are no solicitors or canvassers. Every one may be his own can vasser. Every Harrlsburger must solicit from himself, S2O for some soldier, sailor or marine, and turn it into the Chamber of Commerce offices to make the campaign a success. Any Harrlsburger can call at the Chamber office and be equipped with cards and author ity to collect from his friends enough to make up twenty dol lars for some soldier friend. No soldier, and no soldier's family, is expected to contribute to this fund. With 3,600 service men and 80,000 Harrisburgers, there is no necessity for such contribu tions. One hundred and thirty six names are printed to-day, of boys for whom S2O has been paid. The inclement weather which marked the first day of Harrisburg's last war campaign, failed to dampen the ardouy of the officials at head quarters of the War Memorial Drive '.n the Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce offices. Perfect confidence in the ability and intention of Harris burgers to Are the last shot of the war for all it is worth, and cover ' every service star that flew in the city during the war with a S2O bill, was responsible for the high spirits of the committeemen. "One week ago to-day the cream of Harrisburg's youth paraded the streets in the accoutrements of war- Vare, and inspired every one of the thousands and thousands of Harris- Wrgers who watched them, with pride in their relationship to such a fine body of young men," said Stanley G. Jean, treasurer, this morning, "surely those thousands of citizens who gave the boys such a warm welcome only a week ago, will not be found wanting when they are [Continued on Page 9.] DR.

Matters to be taken up at the opening session In addition to the choice of a permanent chairman and preliminary organization, probably will be the selection of & number of committees. 'IT'S HARD TO GET A HARD DRINK IN THIS MODEL CITY Wink to the Bartender Really Means Nothing and Gets the Patron Less Is 2.75 BEER A MISNOMER? | Drinkers Shocked to Learn | That the Brew Really Con tains but Half Per Cent. If you desire a drink with a "stick" in it, don't wink at the white-coated Individual back of the bar, for it will do no good. The investigator, hearing of the ease with which you can get hard liquor if you camouflage your re quest with that cabalistic lowering of the left eyelid, walked into a prom inent hostelry whose bar is still do ing business at the old stand and asked in a decently modulated tone foi ginger ale. The request was ac companied oy the well known wink. The barkeep reactied into the ice box and then did something under the Bar—the investigator thought he was g< tting the stick—and set t:ie |on the bar. It was ginger ale and no mistake. What the man was do ing under the bar was putting some icf in the glass. The bartender thought the wink was some form of morning salutation. 2.75 Not Guaranteed The barkeep was uncertain how to take the advances of the fresh strang er, who winked and was more or less nonclmmittal to his questioning. Af ter another visitor had quenched his thirst with a glass of beer the in vestigator wanted to learn if the i drink was one-half of one per cent, or tne well-advertised two seventy five. "How do I know."' answered he of the white waistcoat, "they put It In here, they call it beer and we serve it for beer." Beer drinkers were Indignant when they learned the alcoholic content of their favorite beverage may be far below the average they had learned to cultivate. It is next to impossible to get an edge on with two seventy five, so bow iitthe world will a man get along with one-half of one percent was the way one of them expressed It. Fact Is the cubic contents of a beer drinker will not permit of an edge with lighter brews. A look around the bars in the city shows beyond the hint of successful contradiction that beer drinkers have given Up the fight and none are trying to drink enough to "f£el" It. Since hard liquor is banned, the consumption of beir his materially dropped— it used to be pcssible to get an "edge" by throw ing in a few hard ones first. The Only May Ont But s-h-hh! It is possible to get hard liquor if you are careful; but keep this quiet! If you stroll through the Seventh ward, near the railroad you will sec an individual who looks as though he were in a receptive mood. Approach him and convey the impres sion that you* want a drink. He will take your money and get you an un certain brand in quantities from a half pint on up. Don't give this secret away as it was given to the investi gator in strictest confidence. This is the only way you can get liquor, too. this is too hard for the aver , age man who wants a drink. He is used to walking into a bar and get- I ting it without trouble. There are but few men who will submit to that inconvenience for a drink. Conse quently the large majority of those who like the stuff are going without it. You must put yourself in the po sition of a man doing something un lawful In order to get a drink with this exception: Hard on Hard IJqnor . You must either have a supply in a private cache under your cellar steps or you must know a man of generous 'mien who has such a supply. The natural conclusion is reached that it is next to impossible to get a drink of hard stuff in the city, and that the average citizen, without a private supply is going without liquor. Wartime prohibition Is pro hibition for everybody unless he de- Bires to thwart the forces of law and order and patronize the bootlegger. This class of citizens is so far in the' minority that he is negligible when the general question of booze and its supporters is being discussed. Boy Killed When He Runs in Front of Auto Running in front of a. moving! automobile near Sixth and Cumber land streets about 11.30 o'clock this morning, Leroy H. George, six-year-j old son of John T. George, was run over and injured to such an extent i that he died within a few minutes after reaching the Harrisburg Hos-j pital. The youth, playing behind a stand- j ing wagon, failed to notice the ap-' 1 proach of the automobile, driven I south on Sixth street by D. H. Wise, j 2514 North Sixth street. Suddenly the youth darted from behind thel wagon into the path of the on-com ing automobile, not allowing Wise sufficient time to stop his machine before striking him. The machine was stopped and the youth taken at once to the Hospital, but he died within a few minutes. Mr. Wise personally reported the accident to police headquarters. Front Street Property to Be Made Into Flats W. S. Miller, contractor for Miss Gertrude secured a permit to day to remodel the property at 317 North Front street at a cost of $7,000 Alterations wfll be made so that th 9 property can be used for apart < ments.

H. E. Cincinnati QgQQEIHHn MMM ch,cag ° usiiiii ■■■ By Associated Press. < ComJskey Park, Chicago, Oct. 6. With the rays of the sun becoming Stronger each minute, the fifth game of the World's Championship base hall series gave promise of being played in weather only a little short of what experts agree upon as ideal 'for baseball. The playing field was rapidly drying out from the drench ing it experienced yesterday although it was hardly probable that the base lines from the plate to first and third bases would be quite as fast as they were on Friday and Saturday. The tarpaulins were placed over the field in abundance Saturday night and were not removed until this morning. At noon the bleacher and pavilion crowd was by no means as large as '.t was two hours before the game [ time on Friday and Saturday. j The rain of yesterday cost the players on both clubs money. As the fifth game is the last in which they will share, and as it was a certainty that yesterday's attend ance if a game had been played would have been several thousand in excess of what to-day's crowd will amount to, the players will be correspondingly out their percentage of this difference. Loyal supporters of the Sox ex pressed the belief to-day that the rain yesterday was a "blessing ;n disguise" as the layoff gave Gleason's men a chance to rest and plan a new line of attack. Although the Sox are fighting with their backs to the wall, they are not discouraged. They point out the fact that they have faced more desperate situations than 1 the present one and came through with a rush. Admirers of the Sox recall that in a city series with the Cubs some years ago they were counted down and out, only to sur vive and beat out the Lational Leaguers. August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club, was flooded to -1 day with' telegrams of encourage ; ment from Cincinnati fans, who convinced that the series will end I to-morrow with their favorites in ] possession of the world's champion ' ship. j Although the Sex have made a dissappointlng showing in the series, there has been no falling off in in ! terest. Thousands of persons vislt |ed the park yesterday hoping that • the game would be played, while ; newspaper offices and baseball head : quarters were deluged with thou | sands of telephone calls regarding j the prospects for playing the con • test. Tickets are in as great demand jas ever, and scalpers with choice ! box seats in their possession, are j asking $lO for a seat costing $5.50. i Betting has undergone a big shake jup as a result of the Cincinnati i drive, and the supporters of the Sox ' are asking odds on whatever wagers j they decide to make.

Over Record of Previous Year FEWER AUTOS STOLEN Police Believe Unsettled Con ditions Following End of War Responsible Petty larcenies and robberies re ported to Harrlsburg police during the first nine months of 1919, show an increase of almost 70 per cent, over those reported during the same period of 1.01 X. The value of the goods stolen during the nine month period ending Sep tember 30, likewise shows an in crease over the 1918 record, although it is not correspondingly as great. The excess this year is but slightly more than 11 per cent. Police ksplnin Conditions The figures as reported for this yeay are approximately those of a normal year in the city. It is understood. The big increase this year over last year's record results from the abnormally lew record of last year. With every industry booming and with practic ally no unemployment, thefts natural ly showed a decrease last year. This year, however, affairs have become more nearly normal.
