co. COMMISSIONERS
OPPOSED To LOSING
VOLUSIA TERRITORY

c, F. Burgman, chairman of the
board of county commissioners OF
Volusia county yesterday. received
the following telegram from Hon. Da-
yid Sholtz, now representing Volusia
county in the state legislature:
What does Board Of County Com
missiOners wish respecting proposed
Flagler county?"
In reply Mr., Burgman sent Mr.
Sholtz the following:
The Board of County commission
ers of Nolusia county in session April
9TH directs the representatives in the
legislature to oppose with all their
power the taking away of any part OF
Nolusia county to become part of the
proposed Flagler county and you viii
all of you. receive instructions to
that effect through the clerk Of the
board, over the seal of Volusia coun-
". I would call attention our repre-
sentatives in the legislature and sen
ate to the fact that that part of No-
lusia county sought to be embodied
in proposed Flagler county represents
a valuable asset of Nolusia county
and that if taken out of Nolusia coun-
ty it would leave the great highways
east and west now being improved
and to be improved under bond is
sues in Volusia county. Thus leav
ing the burden of road Improvement
and maintenance TO the tax payers
OF Volusia county and give the bene-
fit of these improvements to the prop
erty owners OF the proposed Flagler
county without a compensating return
in taxes and increased incTements in
land values upon which taxation is
based. Flagler county then would
reap all the benefits and Nolusia
county would pay all the bills. Kill
the proposition as far as Nolusia coun-
ty is to be brought into this kind OF
scheme with all the force and power
at your command. Please show this
letter to Senator Alexander and Repre-
| sentative Putnam. as it is intended
for cur entire delegation in the legis-

the Brethren, this morning when in
terviewed concerning a sign he had
posted this morning at the corner of

The Rev. Mr.. Conner further said:
Il did not post the bulletin with the
intention of being uEpatriotic, for |
think l am as patriotic as any many,
only l believe that l can serve my
country in more effective ways than
by bearing arms. The sign was posted
to advertise a sermon entitled War
and Salvation which / will deliver to-
night. Salvation has been the KEYNOTE
of my sermons at the Brethren Church
for the past week."
He continued: LAS you know. If is
against the belief of the Brethren
Church to bear arms. think il is ALI
right for man who is not a Christian
to bear arms. but not so with a Chris
tian. Come and hear my sermon to-

Economy Commission to
Decide on its Report

Members of the State Economy and
Efficiency Commission will decide this
afternoon how much of the report of
the commission shall go to the Legis-
lature. The financial statement, which
will include the budget as far as pre-
pared. will be submitted to the Senate
in accordance with the resolution
passed some time ago, but the mem
bers of the commission have not yet
indicated what they intend to do about
the recommendations.
Solicitor McDevitt completed the
recommendations some time ago but
their scope was so broad and contem-
plated so many changes in the State
government that State officials
thought they had better go slow. The
recommendations have since been
studied, although it is said that a
thousand copies of the report were
printed some time ago.

dispatches from the front which say
that the town has already been partly
razed by the Germans.
To the north of st. Quentin the
British are surging forward along a
30-mile front their rapid advance in
the last few days, unaccompanied by
any major fighting, proving that Cen
eral Haig is not yet in touch with the

With st. Quentin and La Fere prac-
tlcally in the grip of the allies the
Lllle-Laon line appears doomed and
military critics express the opinion
that either Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg never contemplated a stand here
or that he was outgeneralled by the
amazingly rapid advance.
French Are Resting
At present the French seem to have
relinquished the initiative to the Brit
ish who are driving a wedge in the di-

and now within five miles of the Brit

neither Paris nor London pays much

efforts by Germany to mass reserves

observers still predict that Field Mar

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick. sour, gassy
stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs. Dyspep-
tic, jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin
helps neutralize the excessive acids in
the stomach so your food won't sour
and upset you. There never was any
thing so safely quick, so certainly eff
fective. No difference how badly your
stomach is upset you usually get
happy relief in five minutes. but what
pleases you most is that 1t helps to
regulate your stomach so you can eat
your favorite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
timcs-they are slow, but not sure.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-04-02

'Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neu-
tralizing the acidity, so the misery
won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin' comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no
belching, no eructations of undigested
food, your head clears and you feel
fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large fifty
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from
any drug store. You realize in five
minutes how needless 1t is to suffer
from indigestion. dyspepsia or any
stomach disorder due to acid fermen-
tation.

MODERATE DEALINGS
MARK DULL OPENING
Representative Stocks Relatively Neglected. Irregular
Price Change Largely Restricted to Specialtes and
Issues of Minor Importance

New York. April .. Wall Street
Representative stocks were relatively
neglected on the resumption of trading
to-day, the moderate dealings at ir-
regular price changes being largely re-
stricted to specialties and issues of
minor Importance. United States steel,
the accepted leader, rose and fell with
in fractional radius and rails inclin-
ed to lower levels, Canadian Pacific
yiyelding, a point. Shippings, Central
Leather and General Motors were in
cluded among the backward shares
with gains of l to y points for Ohio
Gas. Mexican Petroleum, American
Woolen and Wilson Packing.
Dealings during the dull forenoon
reflected the attitude of traders toward
impending developments at Washing
ton. The tone was more hestant in the
hrst hour, but became strong later,
shippings reversing their reactionary
trend with appreciable gains in rails,
coppers and prominent industrials as
represented by United States Steel and
Bethlehem Steel. Equipments also rose
substantially. their advance being at
tended by reports of the closing OF new
Russian contracts under favorable
terms. Special issues continued their
initial upward movement, Ohio Gas be-
ing most conspicuous at an extreme
gain of 3 y points to the new record OF
1S9. Bonds were irregular.

the money paid by brewers. dIstillers
bottlers, wholesale and retail liquor
dealers, for licenses to do business un-
