TRIES TO- POISON
10 At ONE TIME
Boarder Unified" Because He's
Asked to Pay Bill, Puts Po-
tion in the Food

Presumably because he was "miffed"
at a request to make payment on his
board bill, Andrew Melocovich, who
lives with Mr.. and Mrs. John Pollici
1101 South Ninth street, put poison in
the sauerkraut and potatoes and added
soft soap to the coffee, causing serious
cramps in the stomachs of seven mem
bers of the famil yand eleven boarders,
it is alleged.
Charged with a poison plot, Andrew
was arrested early this morning by
Constable Alexander Gibbons and
taken to the Dauphin county jail. He
will be given a hearing before Alder
man Nicholas late this afternoon.
The first intimation of the poisoned
condition of the family was given by
DIR. John II. Parks, a druggist, at 62l
Race street. from whom three MEM
bers of the ailing family purchased
medicine to relieve their pains. He
investigated and found the cause of
the trouble.
Beside the father mother and
boarders, five small children were af-
fected-John. aged 4; Katy. 6; Joseph,
z; Mary, 9. and Peter, aged 1 5 months.
Melocovich first showed his resent
ment when his host asked a small
payment on back board bill last Sat
urday: the next day several of the
boarders were sick. II was NOT until
yesterday that the poison plot was dis
covered.

American Ambassador
Served English Colony
From Warlike Turks
By associated Press

London, Dec. 8, 4.1o a. Iii. - The
Chronicle to-day publishes a letter
from Athens praising the activity of
the American Ambassador, Henry
Morgenthau, in Constantinople, on the
night of November 10, when the Eng
lish colony was not allowed to leave
the city.
The action of the Turks caused a
panic among the British refugees. but
the American Ambassador assured
them he would endeavor to get them
away the next day. The refugees
passed a terrible night of anxiety and
besides the police were harsh and
brutal.
The sights ne witnessed made Am
bassador Morgenthau determine to
make the Turks respect his wishes He
formally advised the Turkish govern
ment that unless the British colony
was allowed to depart he would de-
mand his passports and take them all
as his private guests on his special
train.
The Turks, the letter says, had no
desire to fight America as we'll as the
allies, SO they gave In, but took re-
venge by assessing the refugees an
arbitrary and Illegal tax of from SIS to
500 each.
The next day the colony assembled
at the station. Ambassador Morgen-
thau was there and personally super
Vised all the smallest details of the
departure. Words can hardly express
the gratitude due him, the letter con-
cludes.

For the first time since the Germans
were checked in their advance on
Warsaw IL was possible to-day to gain
a fairly clear idea of the military sit
uatiOn in Russian Poland in its broader
aspect. Adviccs from both Berlin and
Petrograd indicated that the Germans
had definitely succeeded in throwing
back the envcloping Russian forces
and were maintaining stolidly their
positions west of LowicZ. Further

undertaking an energetic offensive.
The completeness of change I'm the

failure of the Russian General Rem

the Germans and to the brilliant stra-
tegy OF the German leaders, is indi-
Gated by report telegraphed from
Petrograd by an English correspondent
who previously had announced that
the Russians had won an overwhelm-
ing victory. He now states that the
Germans are holding their positions

tremely interesting and hazardous
The latest official announcement
from Petrograd states that the fighting
has become less severe.

By Associated Press

New York, Dec. 3.-The results %

from the reports received from more
than 900 correspondents, including
governors, mayors, officials of unions,
industrial organizations, banks and
building associations will be made at
the fifteenth annual meeting of the
National Civic Federation which be-
gins here tomorrow.
The report says that conditions are
improving and predicts that a further
advance toward prosperity will be wit
messed during the next few months.
Strikes Gloomy Note
The report was prepared by John
Hays Hammond, chairman of the COM
mittee which handled the investigation,
and strikes n gloomy note in speak
ing of the unemployed. 1t states that
the country win be confronted this
winter "by a situation which will de-

The great savings institutions of

Certain lines of trade have been
stimulated because of orders placed by
foreign nations, but the purchase of
supplies by belligerent nations salts

GERMAN WOMEN N
PRAY FOR WARS END
Letter to Ed. Kreidler Says There
Is No Suffering in the
Fatherland

Interesting news direct from Ger
many reached Harrisburg to-day in a
letter to Edward Kreidler 1903 Chest
nut street. from relatives in Waldshut,
Baden, Germany. The letter was writ
ten by the wife of young man who
is in the German army. She says
the women are praying for the wars
end. The letter was one month in
transmission, having been mailed on
October 81. In part the letter reads:
81 will only write a few lines this
time, but will send you big letter
soon, as there will be much to tell
which you do not hear about in
America.
"There is no suffering here. We
live the same as we always did before
the war. In France, Belgium and Rus
sin, where the battles are being fought,
there Is great suffering.
There Is no enemy on German
grounds any more, except 100000 pris-
oners, although there were many at
the beginning of the war. So long as
our Great Kaiser was telegraphing to
the King of England and France to
keep peace, the French and Russian
soldiers broke into Germany, but our
soldiers got them out again. and made
lots of prisoners.
by October 1 we had no more enc
mics in our country. Our army has
gone to Russia and Belgium. The
Kaiser with his men is on French
ground, so you can see how far our
soldiers have gone.
I'VE also have prayer meetings, the
same as YOU have in America, and we
women hope and pray that the dread
full war will soon be ended. AS we see
by the newspapers, the English cut our
cables so only English and French
news gets to America They tell moth
ing good about Germany. But by and
by the truth will get over there too.
"Reinhart is well so far. and still
fighting. Thank the Lord! 1 hope.
and pray that he will return safe from
this awful war"

Berlin, via Amsterdam, to London,
Dec. S.-With only one dissenting
vote, that of Herr Liebknecht, a So
cialist, the Reichstag voted new war
credit of $1,25O,OOO,O 900. The presi-
dent of the chamber at the opening
of the sitting dwelt in a speech on
the unity and patriotism of the Ger
man people and commented appre-
ciatively on the large number of mem
bers of the Reichstag who are now
serving the country at the front.
Almost all the members were pres
ent when the body was called to order
and at least tenth of them wore the
gray field uniform. The benches al
lotted to members of the Bundesrath
and all the gallaries were crowded. On
the seat of DR.. Ludwig Frank. the

teer in his first fight, a large laurel
wreath reposed.
Speaker Kaempf, in the course of
his opening speech, announced that
siXty-nine members of the Reichstas
were performing active service. Over
100000 men, he said, had offered
their services as volunteers, but only
a small part of this number has thus
far been called to the colors.
During Herr Kaempfs speech the
stormy enthusiasm of the first DAYS of
the war was changed into a less noisy
but more deep and serious feeling.
The enthusiasm was greatest when the
speaker mentioned the triumph of the
crusier Emden and Germany's sub
marines.
One of the most important parts of
DIR. Won Bethmann- -Hollweg's address
was his declaration of Belgium's guilt
in surrendering her neutrality, of

Irwin g. Cobb reports, I'm the cur

Lord Kitchener. The interviewer en-
countered a man who asked more
questions than he answered, but
having pumped his questioner dry,
expressed his own views freely In the
only talk, Mr.. Cobb declares, which
lord Kitchener has given for publi-
cation since the war began.
"The war will last not less than
three years." Lord kitchener said.
'It will end only when Germany is
thoroughly defeated, not before-de-
feated on land and on sea. That the
allies will win is certain. That for
us to win will require a minimum
period OF three years think probable.
1t might last longer-this war might.
1t might end sooner. 1t can end in
only one way.
That 1t will end in a month from
now, or six months or a year, do
not think likely; so, to be on the safe
side, say three years-at least three
years.
IF Germany gives up sooner, so
much the better for Germany and for
