American Sailors MObbed
in Streets. of Cork by
Gangs of Irish Youths
BY Associated Press

London, Sept. ATTACKS on
American sailors on Sunday night
are reported in a dispatch from Cork
to the Chronicle. 1t is said that
gangs of young men paraded the
streets and set upon the Americans
who were accompanied by their
sweethearts.
One instance cited as that of two
Americans who were attacked on the
chief street of Cork, a young woman
with them being insulted and having
her hat torn off. The correspondent
reports that the sailors did nothing
improper or contrary to good taste
to invite the attack and as far as
could be learned did not retaliate.
They escaped on a tram car.
All the girls who suffered at the
hands of the crowds the dispatch
says, belong to the respectable class.
An attempt was made at IL p. m.
to break into places where Amer
leans are staying, the dispatch states,
but after a short seige the attack
ers departed. Several parties pa
raded the streets singing Sim Fein
songs and performing military evo-
lutions. Some windows were broken.
One party raided the premises of an
officers training corps and stole fifty
six rifles, thirty revolvers and q num-
her of swords, none of which had
been recovered, the correspondent
SAYS, at the time of writing his dis
patch, nor had any arrests been
made. He reports that he talked
with several American sailors YES
terday and that they believed the
affair was organized but were not
aware of the reason. They said they
had been well treated hitherto in

Work Day and Night to
Get Camp Meade Ready
For Penna. Draft Army
By Associated Press

Camp Meade. Admiral Md, Sept 4.
Work on the construction of the
immense national army cantonment
here for the selected men of Penn
sylvania swept forward to-day with
renewed vigor after the first day of
actual idleness since the camp was
begun, more than two months ago.
Only few hundred of the 5000
men employed on the task appeared
for work yesterday because of the
holiday.
Night work is to start this week
that further postponement of the
calling of the first increment of 5 per
cent. of the selected men may be
avoided. Powerful electric lights
have been installed and many of the
men have agreed to work fifteen
hours day. from o'clock in the
morning until midnight, with an hour
for lunch and an hour for supper,
time and half time being paid for
every hour in excess of eight a day.
1t is figured that on this basis some
of the men will make between $40
and $50 a week where they have
been accustomed to drawing from
$22 to $40.

Russian Situation Is
Described as Dangerous
to Present Government
By Associated Press

London, Sept. 4.-The Petrograd
correspondent of the Times views
the internal situation pessimistically.
THE government" he says, "is
still dominated by irresponsible
forces. General Korniloff has been
Obliged to take personal measures to
victual the army and has ordered the
forcible appropriation of cereals from
the peasants, within the war zones
and is negotiating with the railway
men with a view to satisfying their
just grievances. His program of army
reforms is still in suspense. NJ.
Nekrasoff says that the government
has accepted it in principle and prob
ably will agree to all Of Korniloffs
demands.
''Nekrasoff denies any conflict be-
tween the government and Kornil-
off or the cossacks, but admits that
arrests have been made for all al
legged conspiracy against the revolu-
ton, though he denies that the men
arrested belonged to Korniloff's en-
tourage."
The correspondent asserts that the
BolshevilIi have regained the upper
hand In the council and are display
ing the greatest activity in all the
cities of Russia. Ominous signs, he
points out, are repeated acts of arson
in the munition works at Petrograd
and ire burning of Kazan. He adds
that the government anticipates Sc
rious Bolsheviki disturbances and
that armored cars are in readiness
in Petrograd for any emergency.

FEWER ERRORS FOUND
Steelton "Slackers" Present
Selves For Examination;
Disallow Claims

The certification apd the sending
back to the local boards the names
of SO men of Fulton county and
nearly a hundred of Huntingdon
CO nty comprised the larger part of
the work of the district appeal board
of the Middle Judicial District at its
meeting in the House caucus rooms
at the Capitol to-day.
Six agricultural claims from Ad-
ans county were also acted upon
and two were allowed. The other four
were rejected on the grounds of in
sufficient evidence. The board con-
tinued in session until late in the aft
ernoon anu in all probability will
meet again tomorrow morning. The
claims presented by all the counties
of this district will be acted upon at
this session and as they will be al
phabetically, those of Dauphin coun-
ty will not come up for action until
late to-day. The board will endeavor
to clear up everything at this session
and as soon as the names are certi-
fled and the required time has
elapsed they will be sent back with
all haste to the local boards. Every
effort will be made to have consider
able more than the necessary five
per cent. ready by September 19.
The presentation of reports of
some of the local boards have inter-
fered somewhat with the smooth
working of the appeal board. This
morning as soon as Clerk Free ar
rived at the office he was greeted by
several young men who wished to-
claim exemption. Investigation into
their cases revealed lack of knowl-
edge on the part of the local boards
and as result the appeal board will
be subjected to much Inconvenience
in order to straighten out matters.
However, mistakes are becoming
fewer and fewer each day, the ap-
peal board having sent out addi-
tional information and advice.
Slackers Coming In
The "hullaballoo" about the slack

MUCH OPPOSITION,
TO COLLECTION OF
ASHES FROM CURB
Civic Club Members and
Other Greater Harrisburg
Advocates Against Plan

That City Council will have opposi-
tion from all parts of the city should
the officials attempt to carry out the
plan which has been discussed to re-
quire householders to put ash and
garbage cans in front of their homes
or days for collections, was the pre-
dlction voiced by residents of the city
to-day.
Many of the citizens who have been
cooperating wherever possible in
public improvement work declared
the city streets would soon become
Uttered with ashes and waste should
collections from the curb be started,
and number of property owners em-
phatically declared they would do all
they could to oppose any move to
start such a system.
Would BE Great Pity
Mrs. William Henderson, who is
president of the Civic Club, and deep
ly interested in the city development
and public welfare, in speaking of the
plan, said: 81 think it would be a
great pity to have to ask people to
place ash and waste receptacles in
IICnI OF Inelr nOnleS. 'IHeSe would De
left there for hours, as the city could
not operate enough wagons to make
immediate collections"
Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, another
active member of the Civic Club,
pointed to the impracticability of the
plan and the unsightly conditions
which would result from placing ash
cans along the curb line. "It would
be extremely unhealthy and insani-
tary to use such a system" Mrs. Jones
said.
Others predicted that vNious or
ganizetions in the city would probably
start a campaign against an attempt
to adopt the collection plan which has
been considered in connection with
the ash and garbage removal.
