Washington, Feb. 2O.-Oficial tests
of Germanys reply to the American
note on the naval war zone and Great
Britain's replies to the American notes
on the use of the American flag and
the Wilhelmina case, all arrived to-
day at the State Department.
The German reply, delivered by the
Berlin Foreign Office three days ago to
Ambassador Gerard, had been delayed
in transmission. 1t was at once con-
Verted from the diplomatic code and
sent to the White House to be laid be-
fore the President who, however, had
already been informed of its contents
by Mr.. Gerard and the unofficial text
published Cwo days ago.
With the official text at hand. how
ever, the President and his advisers
will begin formal consideration of
Germany's reply to the warning of the
United States against destruction of
American ships or lives in the naval
war zone about the British Isles. Gen
orally the tone of the German note
has been regarded as friendly.

GIVES FIRST
OF BUSINESS TALKS
Average Man Uses One-thirtieth
Of His Mental Capacity; Right
Thinking Is Urged

With a good hard punch, Frank
Jewel Raymond. famous for his abil-
ity to rejuvenate business, gave busi-
nessmen and clerks a timely talk last
night.
1t was the first of series of MAX
ing Good in Business talks by Mr..
Raymond under the direction of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Raymond said:
Your oportunity lies in yourself.
Are you investing your time a little
each day to grow? Success is not a
bequest. It's a conquest Inquests
are held over the dead ones. People
who are satisfied with themselves are
satisfied with very little as a general
rule. The average man to-day uses
but one-thirtieth of his mental capac-
ity. Are you one-thirtieth man."
Mr.. Raymond also urged the sales
people and store folk in general to
have a cleanly and neat personal ap-
pearance. He further laid consider
able stress upon good health. He
said:
The things that make for good
health don't cost you anything. Right
thinking, eating, breathing and drink
ing are the four ways to nourish the
body"
The next talk will be held at Tech
auditorium Tuesday night. February
2S The subject will be Measuring
Men" The third and final talk will
be given at Chestnut street auditorium
and will be on Making the Sale"

GOVERNOR MEETS
MANUFACTURERS
Talks Over Compensation and
Child Labor in Candid and
Friendly Manner

Child labor and compensation were
discussed yesterday by Governor
Brumbaugh and Joseph R. Grundy, of
Bristol. president of the Pennsylvania
Manufacturers Association. and John
f. Wood. of the same association.
The Governor stated afterward that
his two callers had come to give their
views on legislation affecting child
labor and workmen's compensation,
principally the latter. He had listened
to what they had to say and was in
terested in learning their viewpoint
but had not discussed the subjects
with them in the sense of expressing
any of his own opinions
Mr.. Grundy told the Governor the
manufacturers association had for a
long time been in favor of a work
mems compensation act and the Gov
ernor expressed himself as pleased to
learn this.
Governor Brumbaugh this after
noon explained in more detail than
heretofore his continuation school
idea, which he hopes to see incor-
porated in the child labor act. His
idea is that all children between IA
should go to school part of the time,
say one day a week. Schools could be
established in connection with large
manufacturing plants or in public
school buildings, but in either case to
be a part of the public school system
and under the control of the school
authorities.
The training would be entirely vo-
cational and designed to make the
child more quickly efficient in the
trade with which he was engaged"
said the Governor.
Asked whether this would be feasible
in connection with small industries, he
replied.
Yes. wherever twenty or more chill
dren are employed. In large plants
where hundreds of children work they
could be divided, so that some would
go to school Monday. some Tuesday,
and so on. thus keeping the school in
operation all week Where only few
children are employed they could go
to a central school"

HALF OF WORLD IN CONFLICT

Immense Area of Nations Involved in
Greatest War of History
When it is said that half the world
is at war, the true meaning is that
the nations now involved in warfare
and their dependencies take up half
of the earth's land area.
The Russian Empire alone COM
prises one-siXth of the territorial sur
face of the globe, approaching very
nearly in extent to the dominions un-
der British rule. Add to these the
German Empire and colonies and with
the other countries involved you find
half of the world in warfare.
The Telegraph is presenting to its
readers an official war map which
contains all of the essential features
necessary in following the reports of
the great European conflict Every
body wants this information and here
it is in compact form, accurate and
authentic in every particular. Only
short time remains in which YOU can
get one of these score cards" of the
battling nations.
