GOVERNOR APPEALS
To BASEBALL CLUBS
TO AID RED CROSS
First Game For Benefit of Euro
pean Sufferers May Be Played
in Harrisburg

AS result of an appeal to Governor
Tener by Miss Mabel T. Boardman,
head of the Red Cross Society of the
United States, it is likely that all the
baseball clubs in the country will have
a benefit for the relief of the unforth-
nate injured in the war abroad ire
spective of their nationality.
The Governor has conferred with
the mana cement of the Harrisburg
club and it is likely this organization
will be the first in the United States
to give such a benefit. 1t is probable
that Friday of next week will be the
date set.
In Miss Boardman's letter to Gov
ernor Tener she states:
1T would appeal to the general pub
lie, irrespective of interest in any
country, who sympathize with the
thousands of sick and wounded men
already in the hospitals and many
more who will soon fill them to over
flowing The American Red Cross will
send special Red Cross ship with
surgeons, nurses and hospital sup
plies This ship will return for more
surgeons, nurses and supplies if funds
are provided. 1t is a great service for
humanity, and every dollar given
means the mitigating of some poor
mans suffering"
George W. Reilly treasurer of the
Red Cross in this city, said to-day
that the local contributions have beer
very small, only $40 since the date of
the first appeal. Europe has always
responded to calls for aid from this
continent and he is very anxious that
PENNSYLVANIA and Harrisburg in par
ticular shall make a proper return in
TINS time OF dire need abroad.

hero Shows the national

A storm-swept but refreshed city
to-day, while rejoicing in the relief
from the pail of murky air that made
comfort impossible yesterday, is
counting up the damage resulting
from what was probably the severest
storm to visit this region during the
present summer.
The severest damage to any one
place near Harrisburg occurred at the
Berryhill Nurseries at Paxtonia,
where probably $4,000 or more went
up in smoke when lightning struck
the potting shed Only efforts of
neighbors, about twenty five of whom
fiocked to the place, saved the entire
plant from going up.
Save Offices
Through the work of the firefghters
the new office building and two-thirds
of the length of the greenhouses were
saved. The building that was fired
by the bolt striking its northeast cor
ner was known as the original build
and also the water and heating plant
The destruction of the two plants will
occasion the greatest loss.
The storm broke at $50 eased
away for awhile and then came on

JAPAN GOVERNMENT
QUIETLY PRE- PAIRING
FOR EVENTUAL|T|ES
Strict Prohibition Has Been Placed
on News Concerning Troop
and Naval Movements
By Associated Press

Toxic, Aug. 21.-Japan is quietly
preparing for eventualities following
the expiration next Sunday of her
ultimatus to Germany demanding the
withdrawal of German warships from
the Orient and the evacuation of
Kiao Chow.
The strictest prohibition has been
placed on the publication of any in
formation concerning the movements
of Japanese ships and troops All
is censored and the
newspapers are closely watched.
The activities at the German en-
bassy. where personal effects are be-
ing packed for shipment, are the only
indication of what the answer of Ger
many will be. Meanwhile notwith-
standing the most sensat onal reports
of the treatment of Japanese in Ger
many. there is no evidence of anti
German feeling here. On the con-
trary the authorities have given no.
tice that. all Germans remaining in
Japan must be treated courteously
May Be Difficult Task
The war and navy departments are
preparing for a move on Kiao Chow
w iltlts Gpllll dI W CuTIbnt reports, the
fortifications are really formidable.
Since the outbreak of the European
war thousands of Chinese have been
employed in Strengthening these de-
fenses. 1t is believed here that the
taking of Kiao Chow will not be an
easy task.
The Japanese newspapers and lead
ing japanese express surprise at the
tone of the American press that at
tributes sinister motives to Japan in
sending an ultimatum to Germany.
They state that this action was taken
only after weeks of conversations
with Great Britain and was at the re-
quest of and with the approval of
Japan's ally.
Premier Okuma and Foreign Minis
ter Kato have made repeated and
categorical denials that Japan has
designs on Samoa and the Philippines
or any other territory.

Lack of employment and unsatis-

Nearly double the number of re-

fighting at Tirlemont and Louvain is
described by the Ostend correspon-

Trilemont first and later proceeded
to Louvain. He says:
Until lunch time on Tuesday
Tirlemont was quiet and normal,
suddenly, about one o'clock. came
the sound of the first German gun.
The artillery had opened fired
From the church tower it was
possible to see distinctly the position
of the German guns and the bursting
of their shells. The Belgians replied
from their positions east of Louvain.

compartment of the ceaseless thud.

up the peaceful wheatfields not far

Gradually working nearer. the
shells began to strike the houses in
Tirlemont. This was a signal for the
populace which heretofore had been
confident that the Belgian army would
protect them to fly blindly and un-
reasoningly. All they knew that the
Germans were coming. From the
tower the scene was like the rushing
rats from a disturbed nest. The
people fed in every direction except
one.

"At some of the barricades along
the route the refugees and soldiers
arrived simultaneously making the
defence difficult. All about Tire-

always was crowded with refugees.
