NO TROUBLE TO
MOVE GUARDSMEN
Railroads Look Upon Task as
Mere Matter of Handling
10000 Passengers

The best equipment owned by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway, will be
used in transporting troops to Mt
Gretna. For three days, working
forces have been busy putting locomo-
tives in. shape for war service. Steel
cars will be used exclusively, and the
movement of the 10000 members of
the National Guard to the mobiliza-
close attention by transportation off,
cials.
Both the Pennsylvania and the
Reading Railroads, it was announced
to-day are fully prepared to do their
share in the concentration of the
troops. While orders for the move
ment of trains were not announced
until to-day the railroad managers
took the initiative several days ago, at
the first sign of possible mobilization,
and laid their plans accordingly
Since early on Monday morning both
roads have been in position to turn
their equipment over to the use of the
State. The situation was learned on
Sunday. Forthwith the managers sent
orders to get everything in readiness.
There was little hustle or commotion.
The machinery, tested In previous
years of handling militia equipment,
moved quickly. Within a compare
lively few hours the railroads now can
empty the State of guardsmen.
Starting Points
The Pennsylvania and Reading will
pick up the troops along their lines,
working out from places where they
have their yards. The Pennsylvania
will distribute its equipment from
Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pitts
burgh, from Williamsport, Sunbury
burg it will drain the central southern
section of the State, while from
Waynesboro, on the south and Oil
City on the north, the western part
will be tapped. The main storage cen
ters of the Reading include Phila-
delphia, Harrisburg, Tamaqua, Shen-
anooah, Shippensburg, Williamsport
and Allentown. At all these places
train crews only await the word to
move.
Officials of the railroads do not
consider it a difficult task to trans
port the troops. They have lost sight
OF the military aspect of the work and
view it strictly in the light of the NOV
ing of so many passengers. 1t was
said at the Reading office here an un-
expected Atlantic City crowd on Satur-
day would cause far more trouble
than that of carrying the guard. Much
in the same way was it viewed at the
offices of the Pennsylvania. The only
trouble anticipated will come at the
functions the roads make with the
Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad, ON
the line of which Mt. Gretna lies, 10
mics equidistant from Conewago on
the Pennsylvania and Lebanon on the
Reading. This is a small road with
limited equipment and it is believed
a speedy mobilization will give this
road the test of its career.

GERMANS GAIN TRENCHES

Paris, June %. - After violent at
tacks lasting all night the Germans
captured front line trenches between
Fumin wood and Chenois, in the Yer
dun sector, according to an official
statement issued to-day by the War
Office.
The Germans attacked in force on
both banks of the Meuse after the
usual heavy bombardment. An attack
on the south slope of Dead Man Hill
was checked by grenade detachments
according to the official statement,
On the right bank of the river there
were violent engagements west and
south of Fort VauX during which the
Germans gained a footing in a corner
of Fumin wood, but were Immediately
expelled. Later they returned to the
attack when some trenches were cap
turned. A German grenade assault
north of Hill 321 was stopped by the
French fire.

A resolution authorizing the. Presi-
dent to draft national guardsmen will
ing to take the Federal oath imme-
diately into the regular army under
the terms of the new army bill was
submitted by Secretary Baker to
Chairman Hay, of the House military
committee. Mr.. Hay said he would
call 1t up tomorrow and press for i'm
mediate action.
If possible, Mr.. Hay said, he would
obtain consideration of the resolution
by unanimous consent. but he was pre-
pared to ask for special rule If neces-
sary.
The resolution differs slightly from
the provision of the measure originally
prepared for bringing the national
guard into Federal service in that it
would provide for service during the
period of the emergency" instead of
the period of the war"
Subject TO Draft
Members of the active guard OF the
reserves in all states. territories and
the District of Columbia who take the
new oath would be subject to draft
under the resolution. The President
would be authorized to combine vari-
Gus incomplete units In order to bring
them up to war strength and to ap-
point officers for them.
When Mr.. Lansing saw the news
paper men at II o'clock he said there
still were no reports on the Carrizal
incident from American sources. Asked
whether he had ordered American
consular officers out of Mexico, he said
that all had been arranged for, the
consuls now in Mexico had their in
structions and knew what to do. All
consular officers were instructed some
time ago to use their own discretion
about leaving their posts.

WAR RELIEF FUND

necessitous cases during the absence
of the soldiers at the front. These
men have been suddenly summoned
from their places of employment, and
it is only reasonable and just that their
friends, who embrace the entire pop
ulation of this city, should contribute
to a fund which can be used in any
emergency for the relief of those who
may need help during the period of
service of the men upon whom wives
and. children and aged parents are de-

The Telegraph has taken the initia-
operation of all our people in the Gre
alton of a fund which can be properly
expended to prevent suffering or want
while these husbands and fathers and
sons are absent on the business of
their country.
Telegraph Subscribes 500
II Is expected that some definite
plan will be arranged between the
Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary
Club of Harrisburg to administer the
fund which 1T is hoped will be prompt
ly raised for the purpose stated. Con-
tributions will be received through this
newspaper and properly acknowledged
from day to day and the Telegraph is
pleased to start the subscription list
with a contribution of 500. We be-
lieve that the patriotic citizens of Har-

will promptly rally to this appeal for
those who are compelled to watch and
wait while our soldiers are far away.

Athens, June 2i. - Under heavy
pressure from the entente powers
Greece has accepted without reserve
the demands presented to-day in a
joint note by Great Britain, France
and Russia. At the most critical mo-
ment Greece was without a govern
ment. Premier Skouloudis late to-day
announced to the Chamber of Depu-
ties the resignation of himself and his
associates in the cabinet and the fail
ure for the present to obtain success
sors to them
M. Skouloudis refused to receive the
communications from the entente
powers on the ground that no Greek
cabinet existed as the note was de-
posted at the Foreign Office while he
was on his way back from the resi-
dence of the King where he presented
the resignation of the ministry. On
this account, he explained, he could
not discuss the demands.
Before 1T became known that Greece
had decided to yield it was said in
government circles that 1t would be
an impossibility to accede to the de-
mands. Agamemnon Schliemann,
former Greek minister at Washington
and now a member of the chamber of
deputies, on being asked what the
government intended to do, replied:
sovereignty of our country"
Troops Under Arms
The action of the entente powers
came on one of the hottest days of
many years in Greece. The palace
was darkened. the King was at Cha
teau Tatoy, shops were closed and the
ministries were deserted when the
blow fell. The people were unaware
what had occurred until well on to-
ward evening, when newspapers and
handbills made known the text of the
demands.
Meanwhile King Constantine re-
turned hastily to Athens. All the
troops in the city were ordered under
arms, The deputies were summoned to
the chamber, where Premier Skoulou-
dis announced that he had resigned
The chamber adjourned Immediately,
cheering the retiring ministers as they
left the building

tusions about the body and was uncon-
scious. william, his brother-in.law, had

plosion was the result of an accident,

COMPROMISE HOPED
FOR ON ARMY BILL
Joint Senate and House Con.
ference Probably Will Agree
on 10000 Men

WASHINGTON. April 27.-It is ex-
pected the first meeting of the Senate
and House conferees on the army pre-
paredness bill will take place today. That
this conference, will last two and perhaps
three weeks Is the prediction made last
night. The differences as to the strength
of the army which should be authorized
are so wide between the Senate conferees
and a majority of the House representa-
tion that it will take some time to
straighten them out and bring in a report
which will receive the support of both
branches.
While nothing is known as to the feel
ing among the conferees. 1t is generally
accepted that the number OF men to COM
pose the regular army will be a compro-
mise between the 100000 forces carried
in the Senate bill and the 100000 pro-
vided in the measure as 1t passed the
House. Some members claimed yesterday
that the strength of the standing army in
time of peace would be finally fixed at
10000.
