WAsuiNGroN. April 1T may be
stated authoritatively that the United
States viii make no determined effort
to check Japans programme with ref
ercncc to China at this time.
The note OF inquiry sent to Japan
some time ago, to remind her OF her in
ternational obligations with regard to
China. particularly her pledges to the
United States. represents all that Presi-
dent Wilson il prepared to do under the
conditions existing among the nations
to-day.
1t is admitted that China's consent to
Japan's demands will result 90 the in
present and prospective. yet the Admin
istration has reached the conclusion tina.
present circumstances make 1t inadvis-
able TO take action of more positive
character. There is no expectation that
the American note will bring about any
gratifying modification OF Japans pro-
gramme.
The reasons for the position taken by
the Administration are twofold. The
first lis the homely truth that the United
States is not willing or prepared TO fight
for what II has favored with regard
to China The second is the belief
that anything Japan may do with re-
spect to China during the war will be
only temporary in so far as 1t may he
i'm violation of her international obi
cations or contrary TO the rights or
interests OF other Powers in China.
Hopes others VIII Act.
In other words the United States Gov
eminent il counting on other Govern
meats more vitality interested in China
TO restore the balance in China after
the war. If 1t turns out that Japan has
upset this balance. The Administration
believes there are nations sufficiently In
terested to take vigorous action in cast
their interests demand IL.

other Powers interested in China will

MANY VETERANS
ON ROLL HONOR
New P. R. R.. Records Are Likely
by June L; Large
Expenditure

On June 1 of this year the member
ship on the roll of honor of the Penn
sylvania Railroad is expected to reach
5000. This will mean the retirement
of 500 men on the entire system be-
tween now and that time. The aver
age monthly retirement is between
so and 60 men. 1t is said that this
year will bring a large number of vet
Grams up to the retirement age and
that the monthly average will show a
big increase.
The Pennsylvania was one of the
first, If not the first, corporation in this
country to adopt this honor roll sys-
tenn. In the last fourteen years it has
paid out to it's retired employees the
sum of O,563,537.42. The total num-
Der of names placed on the honor roll
is S.416. About half the number have
died since retirement, so that the list
at present contains 4,290 names of
employees.
In the past year the Pennsylvania
Railroad System paid out of it's own
treasury to retired employees pension
allowances amounting to $1,273, ,040.04.

TO HAVE PRETTY HAIR

IF your hair is not as soft, and
pretty, or as fresh and full as that
of some friend, do as she does-give
it daily attention, just the same care
you would give a plant to make it
healthy and beautiful. LuXuriant hair
soft, fluffy, thick and lustrous-is
really a matter of care. If it is too
thin, make it grow. If it is too dry
and brittle, soften it up-lubricate it.
If you have dandruff it is because the
scalp is too dry and flakes off. Freshen
up the scalp and the dandruff disap-
pears.
Partisan Sage an inexpensive tonic,
which you can get from any drug or
toilet counter, or from III. G. Kennedy,
is just what you need-it softens the
scalp, nourishes the hair roots, imme-
diately removes dandruff, and makes
the hair fluffy, lustrous and abundant.
One application will stop itching head
and cleanse the hair of dust and eX-
cess oil. Partisan Sage takes away the
dryness and brittleness, makes the
hair twice as abundant and beauties
1t until it is soR and lustrous.
By the use of this helpful tonic any
woman can easily make her hair soft,
fluffy and abundant. Pretty hair will
surely increase her charm and beauty.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Police Approached in Effort to
Stop Prosecution of Hold-up
Men; No Arrests Yet

Alleged outside interference with the
police activities along with efforts to
suppress facts, will probably prevent a
complete solution of a hold-up game
pulled off Tuesday night.
Notwithstanding denials of the hold
up made on Wednesday by the police,
j. f. Higgins, prominent citizen of
Austin, Pa, was enticed by two men,
claiming to be Elks, to White House
Lane, near Middletown, and robbed of
a diamond ring, valued at S400; a
diamond stick pin, said to be worth
$3.50; a geld watch valued at 500 and
$3.50 in cash. Since Higgins returned

How Holdup Occurred
j. +. Higgins, who was here for the
walked into the Dauphin
Hotel Tuesday night and met a crowd
of young men who were singing. Hig-
gins joined the crowd. Acquaintance
cars were exchanged and Mr.. Higgins
showed an Elks lodge card. One of
two who were in the party showed his
card and invited Mr.. Higgins to go
with them to the country clubhouse
of the Elks near Middletown. Mr..
Higgins accepted the invitation.
At White House Lane Higgins and
his friends left the car. Higgins was
beat up, and after a hard fight was
left in the waiting shanty at this lane.
When he recovered he returned to
Harrisburg and told his story. The
police got busy and learned that one
of the alleged Elks was from Steel
ton and that the other was a resident
of Middletown.
Fred Charles said to be stranger,
was arrested for having the stolen ring
in his possession. He said he found
the ring near Highspire, while walking
from Mount Joy to Harrisburg. Be-
cause the police believe that the two
men, alleged to have help up Higgins
were outside of the pawnshop, Charles
has been held for court by Alderman
Murray for receiving stolen goods.

of the defunct First National Bank of

the stupendous operations of Thomp
son in his "one-man" bank.
Revelations made to-day not only
forecast criminal proceedings against
the officials of the bank. but indicate
that former bank examiner will be
asked to explain why he did not show
the condition previous to 1912. This
bank examiner was Henry A. Williams,
who was chairman of the Republican
State committee of Ohio. His resig-
nation was called for by the officials

Among those things which all women

is a splendid external application sold
in most drug stores under the name of
Mothers Friend" 1t is a penetrating
liquid and many and many a mother tells
how it so wonderfully aided them through
the period of expectancy. It's chief 4
pose is to render the tendons. ligameNs
and muscles so plant that natures ex-
pansion may be accomplished without the
intense strain so often characteristic of
the period of expectancy.
Mothers Friend may therefore be
considered as indirectly having splendid
influence upon the early disposition of
the future generation.
Whatever induces to the ease and COM
fort of the mother should leave its impress
upon the nervous system of the baby.
At any rate 1t is reasonable to believe
that since Mothers Friend" has been a
companion to motherhood for more than
half a century it must be a remedy that
women have learned the great value OF.
Ask at any drug store for Mothers

of great help and value. And write to

Judge McCarrell approving the claim
OF the commonwealth officers for
costs under the rates provided by the
act OF 1901. BY the law in question
the constables are allowed 81 for the
first subpoena served and fifty cents for
each additional one. The constables
bills include all the claims which
were tested out by Constable George
w. Charters of the Second ward, city,
and cover period of five years.
The commissioners took no action on
the bills to-day pending an investiga-
ton as to whether the charges were for
any part of the terms which the Off
GERS served prior to the enactment of
the law. In other words the county
commissioners indicated pretty clearly
that they mean to settle only for SER
vices rendered during terms which be-
gan after the passage of the law.
Commissioner John H. Eby raised the
point.
The bills presented follow; George

$306.42; James Fl. Johnson (dead),
