DR.. MullOwney's "Peace
Calendar" Gets Attention

DR.. John J. Mullowney, of PaNtang,
prominently connected with the State
Department of Health, has just issued
a Peace Calendar" and diary for 1916.
1t is from the press of Paul Elder 4.
Co, of San Francisco, and every leaf
let contains an appropriate sentiment
on the subject of peace, including the
following from Governor Brumbaugh:
Il am intensely interested not only
in the preservation of the peace of the
nation, but in the development of the
spirit of peace in the citizens of this
great Commonwealth
There are also quotations upon
every one of the 365 pages of the cal
endar from distinguished public men,
authors and speakers in all the ages of
the world.
II is a calendar which will doubtless
attract much attention and it's form as
a daily memorandum and diary gives
1t special value. The purpose of the
calendar and diary as stated by DIR.
Mullowney is educational. He says:
1T appeals to all men TO put away
from their hearts the race hatreds and
national greed and lusts from which
wars and lighting come
There is a peace message for every
day of the year. David Starr Jordan
makes an appeal for peace as a fore
word to the calendar.

Visit of Kaiser Was to
Obtain Land to Assure
Neutrality of RumaniG
BY associated Press

Paris. Dec. diplomatic circles
at Rome believe. says the correspon-
dent of the Journal that the visit of
Emperor William TO Vienna was made
to reconcile If possible, divergent views
of Germany and Austria and obtain a
pledge of territorial sacrifices from
Hungary in the hope of assuring the
neutrality of Rumania.
Alexander Marghiloman and =. p.
Carp, leader of the Rumanian con-
servatives are reported to have as
sured the Duke of Mecklenberg-
Schwerin when he was in Bucharest
that the benevolent neutrality of
Rumania could be counted upon by
the Teutpnic allies if Germany could
induce Austria to cede Transylvania
and part of Bukowina to Rumania. NJ.
Carp is said to have promised also to
bring about changes i'll the Rumanian
ca binet
Negotiations between Berlin and
Vienna, the Journal says were fruit
less owing to the determined opposi-
ton of Hungary and it is asserted
that the German ruler is endeavoring
to induce Emperor Francis Joseph TO
consent to the sacrifice of Transyl-
vahia upon the understanding that
Germany will return to Austria two
provinces of Silesia annexed to Prus-
sia in 1866.

TO BREAK RECORD
FOR XMAS SEALS
Mrs. L. E. Johnson, Chairman
of Steelton Committee, in
Charge of Sales

Plans are being made to-day by a
number of prominent Steelton people
for an active campaign to push the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, the
little stickers from the sale of which
the Anti-Tuberculosis Society obtains
funds to carry on it's work.
Mrs. Lewis L. johnson, an active
member of the Civic Club, has been
appointed chairman of the local COM
mittee in charge of the sale and within
a few days will announce the per-
sonnel of her committee.
Mrs. johnson to-day visited a num-
Der OF the borough's business places
where she arranged to have the seals
placed on sale. The Steelton head
quarters will be at J. a. McCurdy' S
drug store. Front and Locust street,
where fresh supplies of the stickers
may be obtained.
In speaking of the campaign to-
day Mrs. Johnson said, eve are espe-
cially interested in making n record
sale of Red Cross Seals this year in
Steelton because we receive a great
deal of financial assistance from the
Anti Tuberculosis Society. We shall
endeavor to break all records and will
enlist the businessmen and school chill
dren in the campaign.

timekeper's record. But slight hope
is held out for the recovery OF the sis
injured men who were taken to hos
pitfalls.
Deputy Coroner Harvey Nichols this
morning took charge of the remains
of the victims, nearly al of which,
however. were but human fragments,
and began an investigation. Later he
will summon a jury and a formal in
quest will be held.
Remnants of Bodies Found
All this morning officials of the
DC Pont company were hard ut work
on the list of victims endeavoring TO
have the list already published either
verified or corrected. Difficulty is eN-
perienced by reason of the fact that
many of the men were known by name
only, some having come to Wilmington
to work recently. and their homes
have not yet been located.
The manner in which the bodies of
those in the mill were mangled and
the fragments scattered far and wide
makes IL difficult to assemble the parts
into the Semblance of a complete body.
On the other side OF the Brandywine
river was found a human trunk, the
clothing on which was torn and
scorched. but it was by the clothing
that ii was recognized as the major
part of the body of Allen ThaXter, one
of the workmen. His home is in Port
land, Maine. This was the largest of
the many remnants of bodies that
were found and the only one that was
positively Identified. The names were
taken from the payrolls and il is
known that not a man who was in the
mill at the time escaped either death
or in Jury

Efficient Railroad and
Telegraph Lines Erected
Along German Front
BY associated Press

Paris, Dec. 1.-The remarkably ef-
fective system of railways and tele-
graphs which the Germans have con-
structed to connect with Field Mar
shall Won ITindenburg's forces along
the Riga-Dvinsk front is described by
Charles Rivet. in a dispatch to the
Temps from Petrograd. He says the
Germans have given full scope here 10
their genius for organization and
that their railways have excited the
admiration of all who have seen them.
These lines are brought from the
rear to the front in pieces like chill
dren's toys and Immediately linked to-
gether. Thus a network of rails ex-
tends behind the entire front. At the
same time they have constructed three
main lines from East Prussia to Riga
Dvinsk sector. These lines have regu-
lar schedules and are open to the pub
lie. There also are electric tramways
connecting the small villages notably
around Poniewesch.
Similar efficiency has been shown in
constructing telegraph lines in all
directions. NJ. Rivet draws the con-
clusion that the completeness of this
railway and telegraph construction in
dicstes that the Germans intend to
make the Riga -Dvinsk line the base
for their projected advance upon
Petrograd.

BANKRUPT NERVES

Each of us has a certain supply of
nervous energy. Every act even
every thought, uses up some part OF
this energy. During rest and sleep
the supply is increased by the blood
which gets the needed elements from
the air we breathe and the food we
eat
Your nervous energy is like a bank
account. If you use 1t up faster than
YOU add to it you overdraw your ac-
count. Neurasthenia is the name
given to nervous bankruptcy. 1t means
that the power to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up so that IL
will increase the supply of needed eIe-
ments to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
tonic that especially builds up the
nerves because they supply to the
blood the elements that the nerves
need. Many nervous disorders, some
times chronic ones, have yielded 10
this tonic treatment with DIR. WiIIiamss
Pink Pills when other methods failed
to give relief. They are certainlv
worthy of q trial in every case of weak
nerves and thin blood.
DR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere or will be sent
by mail postpaid on receipt of price,
so cents per box, six boxes $3.50 by the

would tap lateral sewer leading TO
the Susquehanna river.
Such a sewer has been spoken of q
number of times in Steelton council
TO do away with the old canal nuisance
winch with its stagnant or sluggishly
howtng water has been a constant
menace to health in the upper end of
Steelton. Each time the project has
peen mentioned, however it has been
held up by the men who knew that
ultimately the railroad company would
nave to utilize the canal to reach tho
profitable freight business of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company.
For months past railroad engineers
nave been at work endeavoring to
plan new line to the steel works that
would not cross the right of way of
the Reading company, which follows
closely the west bank of the canal
BY the present canal the Pennsyl-
vania tracks will follow the towpath
from the typewriter works, to where
tracks have already been laid down
through Steelton to the steel works.
The tracks would cross Franklin, Con-
estoga and Trewick streets at grade, it
is said. The spur into the Hoffer
FIGURING Mills would be made by cir
cling the Readings right of way which
ends short distance below Trewicl1
street, it is said.
Just how soon the interested COM
panies VIII make public their plans
is not known, but Steelton municipal
circles are expecting an ordinance
granting the privilege of crossing
Franklin, ,Conestoga and Trewick streets
will be introduced in Steeltons council
within the next few months and prob
ably at the December meeting.

Kingsway with the probable loss of
five members of her crew is reported
by London.
The Balkan States continued to
dominate both the military and diplo-
matte situation in Europe. Rumania' IS
attitude apparently is causing the CEN
tral powers great uneasiness, while
Greece's refusal to limit her military
effectiveness as requested by the en-
tente is of equal concern to those pow
ers.
Rumania is said to be only waiting
the presence in the Balkans of pre-
ponderant entente military forces, be-
fore dispatching an ultimatum to Aus
tria and German military critics ac-
cording to a dispatch reaching
London express considerable dissat-
isfaction with conditions in the Bal
kans, predicting both military and
diplomatic difficulties ahead despite
the brilliant Serbian campaign of
Field Marshal Won Mackensen. More
over 1t is reported that Austria is op-
posed to the idea and possibility of
bulgarian domination off the Balkan
States, aud 1t is suggested that a de-
sire to forestall any friction in this
connection was responsible for the
German Emperors recent visit to
Vienna.
Greece steadfastly refuses to con-
cede to the entente demands for the
unrestricted use of the Greek port OF
Saloniki as a base, and furthermore
declines to remove her army from
Macedonia.
Except for the capture of Prisrend
by the BulSarians there has been nc
marked change in the Serbian military
situation. The fate of Monastir, re-
ported to have fallen before the Bull
gars, remains obscure, notwithstand-
ing definite reports that neutral con-
suls in the city had arranged to turn
1t over to the attackers after with
drawal of the Serbians. But later dis
patches stated that telegraphic com
munication with the city was still
maintained, including that it had moi
been entirely evacuated.
The eastern front has been com
paratively quiet. The Russians are
reported as being greatly strengthen
ed along the Riga line. imbued with d
confidence that they can shatter the
German defenses whenever a forward
movement is deemed expedient.
Vienna reports that the Italians
seem determined to capture Gorilla
with the least possible loss of time
but progress against the defenses OF
the town is exceedingly slow.
