Present Situation Has Not Discour-
aged Diplomats.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Among
diplomats friendly to the allies, the
view was expressed that while the eff
forts to make peace seemingly had
failed, a sudden turn of events might
at any moment change the situation.
1t was pointed out that If the retreat
of the German army continued, so
that ii would be forced to the borders
of France, and il Austria's reverses
were prolonged, President Wilson's
personal influence in Great Britain
and France might be brought to bear
to obtain a definite statement of
peace terms. These same diplomats
said Emperor Williams version on
peace, which had reached them, was
that he declared at the outbreak OF
Ahe war he would be ready to make
peace in a month. The view. it was
said, he held because of his conf
dence in the ability of his army to
take Paris in that time.
Emperor William has had under
consideration for several days, 1t was
learned, an informal inquiry from the
United States government as to
whether Germany desires to discuss
terms of peace with her foes. Up to
a late hour nc reply had come. but on
it's tenor depends to some extent
whether or not the informal peace
movement, inaugurated just a week
ago, can be pursued further with
Great Britain, France and Russia.
The inquiry was not a formal one,
such as President Wilson's tender of
good offices, but was an effort of an
official character to determine wheth-
er Germany's reported willingness to
talk a was based on fact.

Stones Thrown Through Windows OF

Beresford, Sept. 1.-THE lives of
Rev. and Mrs. ]. A. Quello and their
infant son were menaced when two
large stones were hurled through
windows in their home while the
family was asleep. But for the fact
that the baby's cradle had been
moved from its position lea a win

have received serious injuries.
One of the missiles vas hurled
through a large plate glass window
on the first floor and the other went
through a bedroom window upstairs
where the family was asleep. The
stones weighed over two pounds each.
The motive for the act of the mis-
creant is not known.

Frenchnlen Put TO Death
on Platform of Station

Paris. Aug. 10. 2.45 A. M.-How
five young Frenchmen were shot and
killed in Germany is graphically de-
scribed in an affidavit of Jean Demon
bynes, returned student, who de-
clares, furthermore. that two Italians
travelling in the same train met the
same fate.
The first Frenchman to be killed
had shouted: Long live France!" at
Lorrach, a town of Baden, where he
was awaiting a train. According to
the affidavit, he was Immediately ar
rested, placed against the wall of the
station and shot.
Three other French youths, who
were among the small crowd detained
at Lorrach by the Germans, protested
at the killing and were told to shut
their mouths They were then led to
the place where the first Frenchman
was shot. A group of officers fired at
them and they fell. Women in the
vicinity wept, the affidavit recites,
knowing what had happened
Another Frenchman who shouted
Assassin" was likewise shot. the
affidavit says, while the two Italians
were killed on the road between Wild
shut and Immendngen. One of them
was killed in an argument over the
closing of train window and the
other because he objected to a Ger
man sitting on him.

stores which remain open.
Most of the inhabitants of Liege
remained in their cellars during. Fri
day night but came out on Saturday
upon finding that General Won En-
mich was not permitting eXcesses.
The General issued a proclamation
accusing civilians of firing on German
troops, and threatening to destroy the

STEE[TON'S GARDEN
SCHOOLS A SUCCESS
liz Plots Now Under Cultivation !;
Borough Youngsters Learning
Meaning of Thrift

Whether or not the war is going to
increase the high cost of living isn't
worrying a part of Steeltons popu-
lation a little bit-that is that part
which is fortunate enough to have un-
der cultivation one of the 112 fertile
plots in the Steelton Civic Clubs gar
den school on Cottage Hill.
Here every day from sunrise till
after sunset one may see a consid-
cradle part of the borough's boys and
girls busily hoeing, wedding, sprinkling
and cultiVating their little gardens,
and, besides supplying their homes
with considerable part of their gar
den produce, learning new lessons in
thrift.
This season." said Mrs. G. P.
Vanier, chairman of the garden school
committee, "is proving one of the most
successful seasons we have ever had.
Every one of the siXty-two plots for
children between the ages of 10 and
IA years is under cultivation, as is
also the fifty-odd family plots.
"All of which goes to show the in
estimable benefits that may be derived
from the garden schools which are
conducted by the civic clubs and kim
dred organizations throughout the
country" she went on. There was a
time when the population was rural
and the boys and girls had their
chores and household duties to per-
form. In these days in towns and
cities there is little, almost nothing, of
the kind that these boys can do unless
1t is specially provided. Public school
gardening is a proved success in train
ing the children. 1t reaches the par
ents through the children and creates
an interest in the home gardens,
which alone can immensely reduce the
cost of living. If back yards are put
to use as gardens, if the vacant lots
of cities are used. they will serve to
reduce the cost of living and inspire
people with a new hope and courage
which in many cases is the only thing
lacking for the display of thrift, the
beginning of prosperity.
In classroom studies there must be
definite attention to thrift if children
are to learn the happiness there is
in it. The rapidity with which money
and interest grows is not realized
the artthmetics fail to emphasize it.
There is too little knowledge of prin-
ciples which govern safe investments
as the fifty to one hundred million
dollar losses in wildcat stocks have
demonstration in recent years"
Not only are the garden schools in
Steelton teaching the borough's young
folks lessons in thrift, but they have
done much to improve the appearance
of the borough. The Civic Club, in
connection with it's garden school,
offers five prizes, one in each ward. to
the family that have the best-kept
yard in its district

an opportunity to learn just how vital
a factor water is in camp life when
the water supply of the instruction
camp here was put out of commission
by a bad leak in the pipes to-day.
For several hours the leak remained
undiscovered and 1t was believed the
trouble was due to a fault in the
pemping machinery. In the mean
time the men had to carry every drop
of water used in camp either from
the Hotel Conewago or from the lake
Both places are half mile from the
nearest part of the camp and fully
three miles from the more distant
commands, so that the mere task of
providing water was hard work.

her of officers as compared with pri-
Yates were disabled owing to their

surgeons in particular fell.
The Belgian government has de-
cided against the expulsion of the
Germans. although the country is in
tested with spies and German agents,
who make desperate efforts to reveal
and Illustrate the plans of the military
authorities.
a German major was the first to
cross the bridge entering Luxembourg.
He found his way barred by cabinet
minister, who turned his automobile
across the bridge and taking a copy
of the Berlin treaty from his pocket,
showed it to the major. who re-
marked: Il am acquainted with it,
but have orders which l must exc
cute"
Immediately afterward Marie Ade-
laide, grand duchess of Luxembourg,
drove up in a motor car, which the
chauffeur turned lengthwise across
claimed: The neutrality of Luxem-
burg must be respected. l shall tele-
graph Emperor William"
The German officer answered.: You
had better go home quietly"
When the commander of the Luxem-
burg army demonstrated the German
officer, pointing a revolver toward the
commander, retorted: IF these are
not your methods, they are ours.
Clear out"
Soon the work of military destruc-
tion began. Villas and farmhouses
were demolished. says the correspond
ent, and the thickets cut down for
strategic purposes.
From Luxembourg to Rodange the
fields are devastated and houses razed.
Trenches have been dug. Whoever
casts a glance at these Is arrested as
a spy.
Germany secretly moved 100000
men to the Belgian and Russian from
tiers during the week ending August 2
with the result of surprising and over
prfsing the vesting forces at the outset
of the war. Men were dispatched
without adequate provisions and am
