TUESDAY EVENING,
lanother conference of operators and
) miners be called.
Mr. Palmer opposed.•further con
ferences, saying wage increases pro
posed to Dr. Garfield equalized the
average miner's wages with the pres
ent high cost of living without in
creasing the price of coal- This, he
said, was fair to the mfners and pro
tected the public.
"The cost of living is now at the
high point," Mr. Palmer said. "To
grant the demands of the miners
would make the cost of living still
higher. The new wage conference
would run three winters, and there
fore, would maintain a higher cost
of living for substantially three
years. Sich a situation cannot be
tolerated. ,
"In addition to this, Dr. Garfield
suggested a consultative body to in
vestigate more completely the whole
situation, to be composed of repre
sentatives in eaual number of the
miners and operators, and to be pre
sided over by the Secretary of the
Interior. Such a body would in-
vestlgate. among other things, the
profits of the operators. If these
should be found to be unrcaonably
high, the public should receive the
benefit in a decreased price of coal,
after the miners have had their
wages finally adjusted on a fair
basis I understand this plan is ac
ceptable to the operators. If the
miners return to work and agree to
this plan ,a way would be immediate
ly opened for permanent settlement.
"In the meantime, however, the
operators have posted the advance in
wages proposed by Dr. Garfield, so
that working miners will immedi
ately receive the benefit of this in
crease. The production of coal now
closely approximates 50 per cent of
normal and I have confidence that
a sufficient number of miners will
comply with the wishes of their Gov
ernment and respond to the needs
of the people to increase this pro
duction in the near future to a point
which will supply the demand if
economy and conservation in indus
try arc employed.
"Any other plant to reopen nego
tiations for a new wage scale be
tween the miners and operators
would be futile and would delay
rather than advance production. As
long as the leaders of the miners'
organizations believe that their un
lawful strike will force the public
into a condition of suffering and loss
which will compel further increases
of wages, continued conferenes on
the subject will only -result in in
fluencing miners not to return to
work.
"The situation calls for the stead
fast support by the public of the
Government's position as
by Dr. Garfield. The public should
refuse to be stampeded by theats of
lack of fuel into concessions which
will insure unreasonably high prices
in all commodities for at least three
years to come."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
MAKES APPEAL
FOR ARMENIA
Red Cross Committee Re
quests U. S. to Rescue It
From the Turks
Geneva. Switzerland, Dec. 2.—The
InternaUonal Committee of the Red
Cross has sent to President Wilson
and to the people of the United
States an appeal to rescue Armenia
from extinction at the hands of the
Turks. Tha plea is signed by
Edouard Naville, president of the
committee, who has asked that it bo
given widespread distribution
throughout the United States. In
voking the aid of America, the In
ternational Committee disavows any
political interest and asserts that it
is moved only by humanity and pity.
In part the message says:
"During the war it seemed to the
Armenians that the day of deliver
ance was dawning. How different
is the situation now! Armenia
seems to be forgotten; the Turkish
army is reconstituted; the greatest
part of the country which had be'en
liberated is now occupied again; the
Armenians cannot return to their
homes from which they had been
driven by violence; thousands of
them are still fugitives and have
found a temporary asylum where
they live a life of misery under the
constant threat of renewed massa
cres.
Future Seems Dark
"Unless the Allied powers step in
and resolutely take up the cause of
the Armenians, their future is not
a mere return under Turkish domi
nation; it is the completion of the
work of destruction which has al
ready been carried on with such ap
palling results. Armenia will no
more exist; it will be wiped away
from the concert of Christian na
tions.
"In this dreadful conjuncture, the
Armenians stretch toward America
their bleeding hands. They know
that America alone can save them
and they entreat us to join our voice
to their ardent cry for help.
"We therefore appeal to the feel
ings of generosity and justice of the
American nation. Is the day in
which other peoples joyfully hoist
the flag of liberty to be, on the con
trary, the day in which Armenia is
laid in her grave and her tomb
sealed forever? We do not believe
that America can remain indifferent
to such a revolting injustice or that
the cry of despair of the Armenians
will not be re-echoed in many
American hearts and homes.
"Once more let America come for
ward for the cause of justice and
humanity and rescue a dying nation
from a certain extinction. This will
be one of the choicest fruits of
America's victory."

Berlin Will Aid
People's Kitchens
Berlin, Dec. 2.—Though Germans
complain bitterly of the never-end
ing strikes and unwillingness to
work, the Berlin city government
is aiding striking metal workers in
the Berlin suburbs who refuse to
resume work, although suffering
from lack of money and food.
The majorities have forced
through the Common Council a pro
vision whereby the communtty will
advance 60,000 marks to buy food
for the people's kitchens.
The vote is a novelty in municipal
history and the bourgeois are pro
testing that they will attempt to
repeal the ruling. They maintain
that the huge sums paid to the
workless are sometimes more than
they could earn at their trade so
they prefer to remain idle.
Berlanga Denies He
Will Be Candidate
to Succeed Carranza
Mexico City, Dec. 2.—Persistent
rumors tl\at Manuel Agulrre Ber
langa. secretary of Gobernaclon and
head of the cabinet, was to become
a presidential candidate were an
swered by the secretary recently
when, in a written statement to the
press, he denied he had such am
bitions and pointed out that even
should he entertain such desires he
is not within the age limits set by
the constitution. The minimum age
for a Mexican president is 3 6 years,
and Secretary Berlanga lacks almost
j three years of that age.

t Announcing
The Dauphin Deposit
Thrift Club
i||i
AT the present time there is great need for systematic saving in
Harrisburg just as there is everywhere in the United States.
TN ORDER to make it easy for .the people of Harrisburg to help themselves, the
-*■ community and the country in this respect, The Dauphin Deposit Trust
Company has decided to start the Dauphin Deposit Thrift Club on this plan:
You agree to deposit every week at this trust company a certain definite
sum of money according to the class you enter.
There are three classes, saving and depositing as follows:
$ .50 a week for 50 weeks, you get $ 25.00
1.00 a week for 50 weeks, you get 50.00
2.00 a week for 50 weeks, you get 100.00
The Thrift Coupon Book system has been adopted. The book is of vest
pocket size. Each one contains fifty pages and each page consists of a stub
and a detachable coupon.
You bring the book to us with each weekly deposit. The method is so
simple that it calls for very little bookkeeping on our part, and you will not
have to stand in line for any length of time when you come to make your
weekly deposit.
The Dauphin Deposit Thrift Club Opens Wednesday, December 10th, at 9a. m.
Be one of the first to get started on this plan. In fifty weeks you will have a goodly lump
sum which you can either spend for some special purpose you have in mind, or redeposit in
a regular savings account to earn compound interest.
Plan to join the Club. Let your wife and children join, too.
We've all got to save in these times. So let's do it SYSTEMATICALLY.

New "Archy" Shell For
U. S. Complete Success
The Army Recruiting Officer ct
Harrlsburg tells of a new anti-air
craft shell, perfected by Lieut. Col.
Wallace L. Clay, Ordinance Corps,
U. S. Army, which, it is predicted,
will revolutionize aerial warfare.
This missile, which bears the name
of the "Spot Light Shell," is one and
one-half inches In diameter, five.
Inches high, and carries more than
two miles. Its incendiary proper-!
ties are hidden until it strikes the i
aircraft. This shell is so constructed;
that it does not depend for its con
structive power on the burning ofi
the gas in the balloon but ignites'
the envelope Itself. This is accom
plished by the fact that the nose is i
so arranged that a very light impact |
will explode the shell.
A machine shot down with this!
missile, although it falls within the,
enemy lines, is valueless, since re- j
corded observations are destroyed I
and salvage value minimized.
Another feature of the shell is its ]
safety factor. An explosion occur-1
ring before the shell # leaves the gun i
causes no damage.
A series of experiments have been
conducted at the Frankt'ord Arsenal,
a marked success. Colonel Clay, the
inventor, is well known in army cir
cles as the inventor of the armorl
piercing tracer and armor piercing j
incendiary bullet, which was intro
duced in the fall of 1917.
The shell which shot down in
flames the six large observation bal-l
loons at the proving grourids, Cald-j
well, N. J., in August last, was!
Colonel Clay's new "Spot Li git!
SJiell." !

Strong, Forceful Men A
With Plenty of Iron /ja
In Their Blood— Jf&tm
These Are the Ones With the
Power and Energy to Win
"Mrfny a capable man or woman falls
just short of winning because they don't / K
back up their mentality with the phys- ya U
ical strength and energy which come
from having plenty of iron in the blood," ,
sayß Dr. James Francis Sullivan, for
merly physician of Bellevue Hospital (.Outdoor Dept.), New York, and
the Westchester County Hospital. "Lack of iron- in the blood not only
makes a man a 'physical and mental weakling, nervous, irritable, easily
fatigued, 'but it utterly robs him of that virile force, that stamina and
strength of will which are so necessary to success and power in every
walk of life. It may also transform a beautiful, sweet-tempered woman
into one who is cross, nervous and irritable. To help make strong, keen,
red-blooded Americans there is nothing in my experience which I have
found so valuable as organic iron—Nuxated Iron. It often increases
the strength, and endurance of weak, nervous, run-down people in two
weeks' time. Nuxated Iron is now being used by over three million
people annually an-d it has been used and endorsed by such men as Ignace
Jan Paderewski, Premier of Poland and Master Pianist; former United
States Senator and Vice-Presidential nominee Charles A. Towne; former
Health Commissioner Win. It. Kerr, of Chicago; also United States Judge
G. W. Atkinson, of the Court of Claims of Washington, and others."
