ALL Clues TO Be RUN down
County Authorities Continue In Their
Efforts to Solve the Allison Hill
Skeleton Mystery

The experience of the county au-
thorities in the case of Bessie Guyer,
who has been located well and happy,
will probably be repeated time and
time again before a solution is reached
to the perplexing tangle surrounding
the finding of the skeleton of young
girl in the cellar at 1873 South Four
teenth street, last Friday.
Neighbors are lending the authori-
ties valuable aid and District Attorney
Stroup will follow every clue of a
missing" girl until the end is reach
ed whether it be the same that came
out of the Bessie Guyer search or one
that cannot be traced, evidencing in a
slight degree that she may be the vie,
tim.
Inc anonymous note sent to the Dis
trict Attorney turned the attention of
the investigators to more detailed ex-
animation of the neighbors, who are
giving what help they can. District At
torney Stroup said that efforts are be-
ing made to find the names of girls who
may at one time have been in that
house. Getting the identity of al pos
sible victim, he believes, is the first
step In solving the mystery. The name
or the writer of the anonymous note
has not yet been learned.
Bessie Guyer was located yesterday
by County Detective Walters. She is
the wife of Charles w. Campbell and is
living in Chambersburg. She could give
no information of value to Detective
Walters.

CORNELL PROFESSOR TO SPEAK
DR.. Alvin s. johnson VIII Address
Peace Meeting on March 6

Word has Just been received that Dr..
Alvin ). Johnson, who is professor of
political economy at Cornell University,
viii be the chief speaker of the evening
1T the peace mass meeting which will
be held in the Technical High school
auditorium March 6, at s clock. An
other speaker will also be secured.
Tne selection of an economist, a
practical man used TO dealing with fig
ures, causes and results. is but por-
tent of the present tendency of the
peace movement. The new peace move
ment not only recognizes all of the
truth of the old, but adds the intensely
practical side OF dollars and cents,
showing conclusivelv that war does not
pay and cannot accomplish the end for
which it was created, a. the same time
offering the world a substitute for it.
To explain this side of the move
ment the wcllknown economist of
Ithaca is especially fitted. As the ma
tiOns of Europe have found that they
could not fight and use strong drink at
the same time, so the world has now
learned that war is an anachorism in
the twentieth century. Either civiliza-
ton must end war or war will end
civilization. The PENNSYLVANIA Arbi.
trat.on and Peace Society. of which a
number of prominent men of Harris
burg are members. is arranging to bring

The second of the British bi-weekly

The attack of the allies in the west,

driven back.
