so. Consider the case OF william A.

Some time ago Il was all arranged
for Miss Brady to take an import

had escaped from the port of Funchal,
Madeira Islands. without clearance
papers The Portuguese minister to
Germany was today instructed to call
the matter to the attention Of the
German foreign office.
Though no state of war has existed
between Germany and Portugal, the
Portuguese government, under the
terms of an alliance with England,
has openly sided with the Allies.
Portuguese troops have aided thei
English in operations against the
Germans in Africa.
1t is believed that the governments
arbitrary action will force an inn
mediate break both with Germany
and Austria Officials, however, pro-
fessed confidence that whatever the
outcome Of the affair, Spain. at least
for the present. will continue to pre-
serve her neutral position, and that
Portugals course will not induce her
to enter the war on the side of the
Austro- Germans
Captain RegO carried out the decree
at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Aboard a gunbOat and under the guns
of two Portuguese warships, he vis-
tied each Austro-German vessel. gave
the crews three hours in which TO
disembark, and after they had left,
hoisted the Portuguese colors. AS the
German and Austrian sailors were
being rowed ashore the Portuguese
warships doomed a salute of twenty
one guns.
The governments action was ex-
tremely popular and crowds gathered
in the streets today cheering the gov
ornment buildings. Indignation against
Germany has been rising steadily since
last summer when a German U-boat
sank two Portuguese ships. The Por-
tuguese congress on two separate oc-
casions, has declared it to be the duty
of the government to declare war on
Germany whenever that action seemed
necessary.

To The Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In the early part of the typhoid epi-
demic in and around Harrisburg your
paper stated that the Hershey Choco-
late Company had no connection with
the Hershey Creamery Company and
that it was not a dealer in ice cream.
In spite of these published state
ments there isi confusion in the public
mind and the Hershey Chocolate Com
pany is receiving inquiries as to the
facts. AS the Hershey Chocolate Com
pany and its allied interests employ
1900 persons, any false report or i'm
preston that disturbs its business may
be n serious matter for considerable
part of Lebanon Valley.
We ask. therefore. that you inform
your readers again by the publication
of this letter or otherwise that the
Hershey Chocolate Company, the Her
shey Industrial School. the Hershey
farms, the town of Hershey and all the
interests associated with the name of
NJ S. Hershey are wholly distinct and
separate from other organizations
USING the name of Hershey.
None of the Hershey interests here
has any connection. direct or indirect.

But casting down the columns of

many diseases, almost pestilential in

ceding paragraph predicted cold,
wet weather for Spring and shortage
