IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: personally
we would rather see Elihu Rood at the
head of a diplomatic commission than
one Colonel House Of Texas who at
best is simply an softfooted man. Men
like Root carry world authority. How
ever, this may be merely matter OF
opinion and we are not going to quar-
rel about IL.

in some cases amounting to as great as fifty

of expenditures made by European nations. His
words, however, may set some Americans to

has reconsidered his intention to<exclude fra

"HARDENING UP"
Getting Ready For Active Ser

National Guardsmen from Central
pennsylvania counties are getting
ready for active service by working
at the Mt. Gretna camp site which
is being put into shape for mobili-
Zaton of the National Guard and as
training camp for volunteers. The
usual spring work at the camp is
being speeded up and in addition
permanent roads. are being con-
structed and water lines extended.
To-day men connected with vari-
Gus units of the Eighth infantry left
for the camp as individuals to work
on the roads. In same cases they
were accompanied by their officers,
but they did not go as members of
the Guard. One squad was made
up of men from the machine gun
company of the Eighth, including
men living in Harrisburg, Lemoyne,
New Cumberland and Mechanics
burg. Men from places in Lancas-
ter, Lebanon and York counties are
taking advantage of the chance to
harden up" for active service by
working at the camp site.
National Guard officers stated to-
day that the men were going to
work on their own initiative and that
no orders relative to work at the
camp had been issued. The spirit
of the men was highly praised and
it was declared that when the call
for active service came, which will
be soon, they would be in fine ply

TEN YEARS TO
RECRUIT ARMY
At Present Rate It Will Take
Long Time to Enlist Forces
to War Strength

AT the present rate of recruiting
it will take from five to ten years to
enlist the United States army and
the National Guard up to war
strength and the young men of the
country had better awaken to the
fact that they will be drafted; and
that they better have an understand
ing with Uncle Sam at once, if they
don't want to be drafted" said Cap
tain William +. Harrell, in charge of
the Harrisburg district for army re-
cruiting with offices in the Strouse
building, this morning.
Captain Harrell received a COM
munication from the Adjutant Gen
eral of the army stating that all re-
cruiting districts in the United States
would be required to double their
quota, or enlist two men out of every
thousand. They will also be re-
quired to get this number of men
within thirty days after the war bill,
which is before Congress at present,
is passed.
Recruiting has fallen off here dur
ing the last few days.
The navy recruiting office broke
all records here for nonenlistments,
not single applicant being received
at the office last week.

nothing to look forward to but an
increase in price and a coal famine
equivalent to the one in 1902 again
this fall During the month of April
virtually no coal has been received
in this city and it is a question
whether any will oe received for
another month"
When asked what was the reason
for the shortage, he said, THE
nation produced more coal last year
than ever before in history and it
also consumed more. The same con-
sumption demand is again being
made this year and the operators are
not able to get out the coal owing
to the fact that many miners have
factories, leaving the operators short
in labor. The shortage of cars to
ship the product also is a big
factor in the situation"
Highest in Half Century
An official of the Paxton Flour
and Feed Company said this morn
ing that flour is now higher in price
years. Pennsylvania flour has in
creased S2.65 per barrel during the
last month and Western -four has
increased $500 in the same period"
j. Grant Schwarz, president of
the Witman- -Schwarz Company,
wholesale grocers said: There is
greater shortage of foodstuffs to-day
than l can remember of and not
only in a few articles but in every
thing. The price has been gradually
| increasing in all foodstuffs during
| the past month or more and is still
increasing, with no relief in sight.
Flour is from two to three dollars
| higher in price than it was a month
ago and is still going up. The price
of sugar has also increased greatly"
When asked the reason for the in
| creased prices Mr.. Schwarz said
1T is my opinion that the great de-
mand exceeds the supply. This holds
true especially in sugar. Dealers
will only sell a limited amount and
the wholesale price has jumped to
eight and a half to nine cents per
pound, while retail dealers are SELL
| ing it from nine and a half to ten
cents per pound.
An official of the Evans-Burnett
Company, wholesale grocers said
| this morning that in mis- opinion the
| consumers had a great deal to do
with the increasing prices of food
| stuffs. "They accumulate a large
I supply of food, thus reducing the
! channels of consumption and in
creasing the price. If the consumers
would only buy enough for immedi-
! ate use the situation would be re-
! lieved greatly" he said.

TRACKMEN
UNFURL FLAG AS FOREIGN
PUPILS SING Il. S. SONGS

Subdivision No. Y, p. r. r. track
men. raised the American flag at
their tool house at Uorth street and
Pennsylvania Railroad yards.
This large beautiful flag was pur-
chased by nine Italian workmen who
are in charge of Foreman II. II.
Harro, of 1906 Wallace street.
The flag was borne to the yards
at North street by six girls, all of
foreign birth, from the Penn school
building, followed by the 800 pupils
of the Penn building, accompanied
by their teachers.
The men of the yards were group
ed on one side of the pole, the pupils
on the other.
The exercises were opened by the
singing of America" by the chill
dren, followed by the Battle Hymn
of the Republic"
Little Grace Harro, of the fifth
grade, then pulled the rope which
raised Old Glory to the top of the
pole. All the pupils saluted the flag
and sang the Star Spangled Ban
ner."
w. II. Jacobs, supervisor of schools,
gave a brief but splendid address, on
loyalty to the flag and loyalty to our
country.

Ground Broken For
Six New Stone Houses

Ground has been broken in Second
street, just south of Seneca street Cor
the erection of six stone houses by
c. L. Long. The houses will be of a
distinctive type of English architec-
ture, new to Harrisburg, and will be
constructed of stone from. the ground
to the roof.
One of the features of the new
buildings will be slass enclosed front
porches. Hardwood floors on the first
and second floors, open fireplaces,
and tiled bathroom on second floor
with marble shower connected, are
some of the many modern features
of the new homes. Each house will
contain nine rooms and two baths.
The houses will be erected singly,
with 20 feet of ground between, on
large lots with garage privileges.
Work will be expedited in every way
possible looking toward the compile
ton of the buildings about Octo-
ber /.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-04-23

Every one present gave three
cheers for the flag and the children
followed with three cheers for Mr.
Harro and his patriotic workmen,
who by this act showed themselves
to be loyal sons to the country of
their adoption.
After the exercises the children
marched back to the Penn building
and were disbanded.
The pupils of the Penn building
are mostly of foreign birth or chill
dren of foreign born parents, but
they sing America" The STAR
Spangled Banner" etc, with as
much enthusiasm as any girl or boy
who boasts of generations of Amer
lean ancestry.
For the last two or three years, in
the spring of the year, after the
weather becomes warm enough, they
have gathered very frequently on
Friday afternoons on the steps in
the front of the Penn building and
have sung the patriotic airs for fif-
teeen or twenty minutes. The Penn
building is right in the midst of the
foreign district.
The pupils followed with "Colum-
bia, The Gem of the Ocean"

Nervous Breakdown
Stamford, Conn, Nurse Tells
How She Found Health

Stamford, Conn. - II am a nurse
and suffered from a nervous break
down. l had no appetite and could
not sleep at night and nothing SEEM
ed to help me. By chance l heard
of Vinol, and after taking the first
bottle l noticed an improvement,
and four bottles made me well and
strong, it gave me a hearty appetite,
so l can sleep soundly night or day.
l consider Vinol a wonderful tonic. "
Edith r. Forbes, Stamford, Conn.
The reason Vinol is so successful
in overcoming such conditions is be-
cause it is a constitutional remedy
and goes to the seat of the trouble.
1t is the greatest strength creator we
know-due to the beef and cod liver
( peptones, iron and manganese pep
| tonates and glycerophospates which
! it contains, all dissolved in a pure
medicinal wine.
We have seen so many wonderful
| recoveries like this right here in
| Harrisburg caused by Vinol, that we
| feel perfectly safe in Offering to re-
| turn money in every such case where
