GUARD OFFICERS
TO PLAN FOR
REORGANIZATION
Recruiting of Eighth Regi
ment Units Is Gathering
Momentum
Officers of the Eighth Regiment
of Infantry, recently appointed by
Governor Sproul, will hold a meeting
I in the Penn-Harris Hotel this even
ing for the purpose of working out
plans for recruiting. In addition to
the Harrisburg officers, the follow
ing towns will be represented at the
conference: Chambersburg, Car
lisle, York, Huntingdon, I.ewistown.
Middletown, Milton, Wlllianisport
and Sunbury.
Rearutting of men in Harrisburg
is gathering momentum. There is
some doubt as to whether I Company
will again be located in the city.
The present arrangement calls for
but one company of infantry in Har
risburg, in addition to the Headquar
ters and Supply Companies. This
may be altered later on, if Harris
burg shows that it is able to support
an additional letter company, of In
fantry.
Lieutenant Colonel Edward H.
Schell, who commanded a large sup
ply center in France, is taking an
active interest in the reorganiza
tion of the Eighth Regiment and
particularly in the Supply Company.
The final selection of company com
mander and second lieutenant for
this company has not been announc
ed as yet, but men interested in join
ing the Supply Company may obtain
information from Colonel Schell.
Captain Philip T. Meredith is or
ganizing the Headquarters Company,
including the Eighth Regiment
Rand, and may he reached at his
home personally or by phone.
Company D is being organized by
Captain Josiah P. Wilbar and Lieu
tenant Frank Fahneetock. These
officers are confident of having their
unit filled to 100 men before Janu
ary 11. 1920, the date upon which
the one-year enlistment privilege for
ex-service men expire.
A new ruling of the Militia Bu
reau, said General Reary to-day, pro
vides that men with dependants will
be accepted in the new organiza
tion.
Moorhead Employes Get
Another Increase in Pay;
' Plan Christmas Dance
Announcement of a voluntary In- i
crease In wages, by the management
of the Moorhead Knitting Company,
came as a surprise to the large force
of employes, as it is only recently
that similar action had been taken, :
at which time the company also in- ;
sured its employes. G. IV. Deiker,
superintendent of the factory, said j
that in recognition of the efficient:
services rendered by the employes, 1
the executives of the company at a ,
recent meeting, decided on this ad- ;
vance.
The savings association .conducted
by the employes, will this year pay
out approximately $30,000 of sav
ings, which represents the largest '
amount yet disbursed since the in
ception of the association five years
ago.
Another feature of thrift has been
the purchase of approximately $57,-
000 in Liberty Ronds during the vari
ous drives.
The Moorhead employes, as in i
former years, will this year entertain 1
the children from the Day Nursery |
and Children's Industrial Home. This !
event will take place on the evening i
of December 18 in the recreation:
hall of the factory. An elaborate j
program has been arranged, includ- |
ing a Christmas cantata by the i
Moorhead Choral Society, directed ]
by Mrs. Florence Ackley Ley; singing !
of Christmas carols by the children
and moving pictures. Large Christ
mas trees bedecked with gifts for the
little folks will be provided, and at
the conclusion of the evening's en
tertainment, the gifts will be dis
tributed.
The closing event of the season of I
1919 will be the Christmas tree 1
dance, December 19, at Chestnut;
Street Hall, given by the company |
to its employes, their families anil !
friends when each employe will be ]
remembered with a beautiful and ;
useful gift.
Upon the completion of the new i
four-story factory and recreation 1
building, now in course of erection, j
the Moorhead Entertainment Com- i
pany will present the operetta 'Paul- [
ine' in the new recreation hall, which j
will accommodate seating capacity of'

island this afternoon with the Ma
roons for the championship of
America.
Then there was a rush to seize
the visitors' handbags, several steps
to waiting automobiles, and a flying
trip to the Penn-Harris, where the
champions of the New England
States are quartered. It was the first
time that the boys from the original
dry state had left the New England
States for a championship contest.
They won their spurs by virtue of
their defeat of Manchester. N. H.,
the latter team being looked upon as
world-beaters.
Lung Trip Here
Tech's opponents left the largest
city of Maine Thursday night at
8.35. A night on the sleepers and
they were in New York city. One
minute lute caused them to miss the
train that Should hlive brought
them into Harrisburg at two o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Instead of ar
riving at 5.50 they did not reach
Harrisburg until 6.15.
Many of Tech's alumni were on
hand to get a first glimpse of the
visiting aggregation. They are in
charge of Graduate Manager O'Con
nell, whose younger brother plays
j right halfback. He brought to Dr.
'Charles B. Fager, Jr., principal of
1 Tech, the greetings of the Portland
| principal. Coach Frod Ostergren
was also with the squad. The eoach
is a Holy Cross product of the big,
rugged type. He has had charge
of the Maine High school boys for
four years, and is also a teacher in
the million-dollar plant on the coast
of Maine.
The Portland lads took no chances
on the change of water, and brought
six big demijohns of water with
them. They used this aqua entirely,
having some of it served to them
! last evening at their light lunch.
Tech players were on hand to show
| them the central part of the city
j beforo the coach tucked each ot his
i stars in for the night. Early this
j morning the players were up stroll
. ing about and after a light meal
! the squad went to the island for a
1 light scrimmage. The players were
i loud in the praise of the Penn-Har*
i ris, and noted a marked improve
j ment in the train riding through
Pennsylvania.
Made No Prediction
' Coach Ostergren was unable to
; predict anything in regard to the
, game, as ho stated that Tech is
' reaiiv ah unknown quahtity to the
'visitors. "We hope for cold weather
[ on the order that we have up in
! New England. With cool weather
j we hope to make a good showing,
I although the fact that we have
i taken a long trip, and are on strange
i grounds will have some bearing on
' the result." Captain "Squanto"
! Ward weighs 174 pounds and looks
every inch a rugged lad. It was an
I open secret that Ward will bear
; the brunt of the visitors' attack.
Ward is counted the best backfield
player in the down-east elevens.
Taggart. referee; Okeson, umpire,
and llitchler, head linesmen, were
the selections of the officials. Port
land was satisfied, because of the
fact that those selected are Central
Board officials, and all from out
of-town.
When the kickoff came at 2.30
the largest turnout of the season
was on hand to see the classic strug
gle for America's championship.
Teams Get Ovation
When the teams trotted on the
field there was an outburst of cheers
that were heard on this side of the
river. Portland was given a big re
ception. They were given the club
house as their dressing rooms, and
there was everything a real-football
team needed.
Special seats were arranged along
the left field bleachers for the visit
ing college notables and newspaper
men. Many State officials also oc
cupied the special seats.
It was a great scene, with the
many spectators wrapped in blan
kets and wearing heavy coats. The
players were also well cared for in
I the way of large blankets. V. Grant
Forrer, superintendent of
parks, hao everything in good shape.
Temporary board floors were placed
for the players, newspapermen and
special guests.

of adjudication" than had been I
given under the rules of the Gen- 1
eral Council. He declared also that I

British Buy Goods
in America to Sell
to Baltic States
London. Dec. B.—Brit ish, interests I
are purchasing American goods to'
sell in the new Baltic states as part;
of their plan to "get in on the ground j
floor" commercially when turmoil
in that part of the world ceases.
The American Chamber of Com
merce in London understands that
Esthonia has sold to Great Britain
its exportable surplus of timber for
the next eighteen months in return
for supplies which Great Britain can
not now produce and which are be
ing purchased in the TTnited States
in order that the contract may be
carried out.
It is pointed out that 40 per cent,
of Russian - exports normally pass!
through Lettish ports. The Chamber;
strongly advises American businessi

TENSION EASED BY
JENKINS' RELEASE
[Continued from First Page.]
when he made public information
In his possession concerning the ac
tivity of the Mexican government in
the spreading of radical propaganda
through the United States. This'
charge has been denied in whole by
the Mexican embassy.
Forceful Diplomacy
Other grievances with Mexico ex
'ist and to what extent thgse would
affect the future policy was a sub
ject of wide discussion to-day in of
ficial circles. In some quarters It
was contended that the release of
Jenkins would not cause a letup in
the policy of forceful diplomacy,
while others claimed it had placed
u damper on.the negotiations.
President Wilson is expected soon
to take an active hand in the Mexi
can tangle and as a result of his
conference with the President, it
was believed the Senate, State De
partment and White House had be
come co-ordinated in a supreme ef
fort to obtain final settlement of th"
whole Mexican problem.
Clearing Up Report
The State Department wus engag
ed to-day in clearing up the report
that Consular Agent Jenkins had
been released on hail in compliance
with President Carranza's request,
instead of upon the diplomatic in
sistence of the United States govern
ment. /
On the heels of the report of Jen
kins' release, news dispatches were
received from Mexico City that a
check for the SSOO bail bond had
been deposited with the civil au
thorities at Puebla by J. Walter Han
sen, a friend of the consular agent.
Later dispatches said the bond
was placed without Jenkins' knowl
edge and that he was attempting to
re-enter the prison and await un
conditional liberty.
Point to Other Grievance*
Senator Fall and other Republicans
said they hoped the outcome of the
Jenkins incident meant that Carranza
had determined to adopt a new policy
toward American interests, hut point
ed out that other grievances still-ex
isted. Much significance is attached
by Senator Fell to the evidence re
garding alleged radical propaganda
by Mexicans in the United States, and
lie said lie would lay before the Presi
dent photostatic copies of letters by
Mexican officials endorsing stich a
campaign. One of these letters, he
said, was signed by President Car
ranza.
The discussion between the two Sen
ators. delegated by the Foreign Re
lations Committee, and President Wil
son yesterday, produced no definite
conclusion us to the Mexican rela
tions.
Propped up in bed, the President
talked of many features of the Mex
ican tangle. With a right hand and
arm free above the bed cover, tho
.Senators said, he shook hands with
thein and took up and read papers
which were on the table beside him.
He was described as weak and ner
vous. but it was said he Jested about
exaggerated reports of his illness and
promised within a few duys to give
Congress nis advice on what it should
do about Mexico.
"He appealed to be a sick man,"
said Senator Fall afterward, "but
mentally alert and perfectly able to
cope with any question with which he
might have to deal. He appeared to
me. certainly, in as good mental con
dition as any man could be after be
ing ill for nine or ten weelfcc"
The other delegate of the commit
tee. Senator Hitchcock. Democrat, of
Nebraska, said the President seemed
greatly improved since he saw him
two Weeks ago.
"My opinion is that he has been a
verv'siek man but is improving."
said Senator Hitchcock. "He has a
prettv good idea of the Mexican situa
i ion. and although he did not give a
final decision oti the subject he indi
cated that too many serious consider
ations were involved to warrant any
hasty action."
Hcnr of Jcnkln*' Release
Announcement of Jenkins' release,
it was said by those present, gave
the conference its'only dramatic turn.
The news was telephoned to tho
White House after the two Senators
had arrived, and was communicated
to Dr. Grayson by Secretary Tumulty.
Returning to the sick room while Sen
ator Fall, one of the bitterest critics
of the administration's past policy to
ward Mexico, was in the midst of his
argument for a diplomatic break, Dr.
Grayson informed the President that
Jenkins bad been set free.
All of.tho.se present expressed grat
itude at the news, and then Senator
Fall resumed his statement. He is
chairman of a subcommittee which
has investigated the whole subject of-
Mexican relations and he told the
President of much of the evidence
turned up by the inquiry, especially
regarding the alleged activities of
Mexican officials in spreading Bol
shevist propaganda in this country.
Senator Fall also gave the Presi
dent a copy of his resolution asking
that diplomatic recognition ot Car
ranza bo withdrawn. This resolution
now is before the Foreign Relations
Committee, which meets again Mon
day to act upon it. It was said the
President expressed no final judg
ment regarding it but indicated he
would give his advice to the commit
tee or to Congress by the end of the
week.

Railroad Representatives
Gather 'Fqr Conference j
on Cut in Schedules'
Philadelphia, Dec. C.—The follow- '
ing announcement is made by L. W.
Baldwin, regional director of the
Allegheny region:
"In line with the effort to con
serve bituminous coal in every way!
possible, consideration is to-day be- '
ing given by L. W. Baldwin, regional '
director to the saving that can be ;
effected by the ruilroads in the Alle- |
gheny .region through the curtail-!
ment of regular passenger train ser- !
vice. Representatives of the rail- i
roads In the region, east ami west of'
Pittsburgh, have been assembled in
Philadelphia where they are pie
paring special schedules which will
be put into effect next. Wednesday,
December 10. This is the date set
by the railroad administration for'
similar curtailments throughout the 1
I country. Just as soon as it lias been
I decided which trains can be most:
! readily discontinued or consolidated,
an announcement to tlifj public will'
|be made by the railroads. So far
jit has been definitely decided that
i the Broadway Limited, the twenty
i four-hour train between New York
and Chicago on the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Twentieth Century
Limited, on the New York Central
railroad, in the eastern region, will i
not be operated after Decernber 9. ,
Accommodation between New York;
and Chicago, and the principal inter- I
mediate cities can be had on other'
trains between these point? and their J
withdrawal can be accomplished |
without a great amount of incon
venience.. This action will not only j
conserve coal but will facilitate the
handling of the large quantities of i
coal that are now moving from the |
east to the we3t. , I
"Announcement has been made of !
the withdrawal of all Sunday excur
sion trains beginning next Sunday. ■
In making arty reductions or eon-I
solidattons in regular passenger train ,
schedules, however, it will lie the
policy to give the maximum service!
with a minimum consumption of]
coal.
"During the present shortage, thej
judicious use of coal is more im- 1
portont than providing luxuries in;
travel and while the business needs J
of the country require good anil i
convenient train service, never Ihe
less, until more ample supply of bi- I
ituminous coal is available, passenger!
service will be reduced to absolute;
necessities. Through truin service I
as well as suburban service will be j
analyzed with the greatest of care,
and elimination of some trains and |
the consolidations of others will lie j
made. In fact, advantage is being;
taken of every possible means of i
saving coal on the railroads."

Siiuation Reported Improved,
but Need For Houses
Is Urgent
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, through its housing secretary, i
! Mrs. Bessie S. Boone, is getting some
1 statistics on the needs of this city
iin apartments and houses. Mrs.
' Boone has been conducting the bu-
I reau for some months and endeavor
! ing to assist Incoming residents in
1 their efforts to find dwelling places.
I She has at present a waiting list of
more than three hundred people.
Paul Johnson is head of the bu
reau which Is laying the facts of
the situation here in Harrisburg Ijp
, fore the builders and real estuto
i dealers In an uttempt to alleviate
; conditions. A careful study is being
' made by the committee appointed
' through the housing bureau, and
I particular attention is paid to
j individual cases, in order that a
I more intelligent solution to the many
j problems in Harrisburg may be
; solved.
! Mrs. Boone said this morning that
iin her opinion the situation was rath
!er better this week, as she had plac-
I ed five houses and seven apartments
!to eager househunters. There are
| some weeks when practically no
changes are made. Mrs. Boone re
gards the past week as an Improve
ment and bases her opinion on the
fact that several new houses have
been but recently completed and are
being occupied by their new own
> era, leaving older houses to tie rent
j ed.
Much more building must be done
| however, according to Mrs. Boone,
;if Harrisburg is to grow. So many
' now offices are being located here,
that the city is unable to take care
of the workers. I the past few
: duys a family lias moved to Meehnn
' icsburg because they were able to
, secure there a more comfortable
i apartment than Mrs. Boone was able
!to get for them. She hud previous
. ly placed them here in town,
i This condition of forcing people
I to go to surrounding towns in order
jto obtain accommodations, is un
j heard of, said another member of
I the committee this morning. There
must be more building nnd lots of it
if we are to take care of our growing
city. The new hotel helped out but
that is a drop in the bucket com -
: pared with the needs of the city.
' Then next year we have the legis-
I lature again with its hundreds of
members.
; That the situation is loosening up,
however, is the opinion of Mrs.
! Boone, and it is with the idea of
; further loosening that the Cham
ber of Commerce committee is going
ahead with its work.
