true, although was arrested. An
other party stole the horses, and
when the officers caught them they
told them the Carton boys got the
horses so they could make their get

to have been tried next month, but
the officers, finding We were not
guilty released me, holding Robert

IS PROTESTED

WASHINGTON. May 2o--Protcst
TO Germany against the detention OF
American citizens was made by the
stale department, today through the
spanish government. The govern
m"nt has received positive informal
non that Americans are held i'll Ger

definite statement of the imperial gov
rynmrnIS attitude concerning their
departure.
II is uuintcd out this government
always has aciCu promptly on appli-
cation OF German subjects 10 leave The
United States.
The departments protest Is based
specifically upon the cases OF TWO
americans, employees OF afl electrical
company 1T Antwerp. The names
have been withheld. 1t is not be-
li"vrd that there are more than 30 or
= Americans in Germany.
All efforts 10 obtain any informal
lion as to why the two men at Ant
werp have not been allowed To depart
have failed.
The department statement annOunC-
! ing tho protest directs attention 10 the
i fact that no obstacle has been placed
in the way OF Germans wishing TO
leave America. This WIS construed as
an iniimari,n that some measure OF
rcprisal might b. adopted in The event
Germany persists in ignoring the right
uf Americans To leave her territory.
1t is regarded as probable that Ger
many might plead difficulties present

Kaiser Controlled Press
Declares Socialists Lead
Germany to Brink of Ruin

Copenhagen, via London, May 3.
Such German newspapers as are
now permitted to reach here, al
though evidently carefully selected
for the absence of military news or
any information in regard to the
strike movement, indicate that the
campaign against Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H -Hollweg is again in full
swing. The conservatives, although
insisting as usual that the other
parties observe a political truce IN
the interests of the fatherland, have
adopted and published set of reso-
lutions sharply attacking the chan
cellor and censuring the govern
ment for weakness and vacillation
on the peace question and in dealing
with the strike agitation.
The resolutions express grave grief
and concern ct the steadily growing
influence of the socialists, whose
peacemaking efforts are declared TO
be leading Germany to the brink of
ruin.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Hamburg Fremderblatt says that
dissatisfaction with the governments
policy is growing in all directions
and that its reticence on peace terms
is being used to sharpen mutual sus-
picions and the antagonisms of the
parties. The Socialist leaders, he
continues, do not hesitate to explain
and justify the latest strike move
ment on the ground of the delay IN
reforming the Prussian franchise.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-05-03

More than 500 members of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
cheered to the echo last evening the
patriotic addresses of DIR. Newell
Dwight Hills and former Congress-
man James Francis Burke, of Pitts
burgh, delivered at the dinner meet
ing of the Chamber in the large au-
ditorium of the old Board of Trade
building.
Seldom has a Harrisburg audience
had national issue so clearly pre-
sorted, both from it's sentimental and
its business point of view, as DR..
Hills and Mr.. Burke laid before their
hearers last evening the great causes
leading up to the plesent world con-
tlict, the principles that led America
into the war, the enormous RESPONSE
bilities confronting us as a partici-
pant and the absolute necessity of
coming through triumphant.
President David L. Tracy, presi-
dent of the Chamber, introduced

Librarian, as POSTMASTER at the
conclusion of the dinner and DR.. Hill
lis was the first speaker.
DIR. Hills Address
/
hour holding his audience in rapt at
tention frequently interspersed with
outbreaks of applause. The address
was a mastery presentation of the
history of democracy as opposed to
autocracy and the speaker likened
America to-day to Athens of old,
with the Macedonians a military peo-
pie threatening it's invasion and he
pictured the ruin which followed the
attack of the prepared upon the un-
prepared. The lesson he pointed was
that the United States must now
throw every ounce of her strength
into the work of preparation, to
make up for years upon years of fail
ure to note the plans of Germany to
overrun the world.
He told of the war maps made by
Germany for her faithful servants,
long before the outbreak of the pres
ent conflict, showing how by 1925 all
Europe and most of the rest of the
world was to be laid tribute to the all
conquering Kaiser, with Paris and
London, and Quebec, and st. Peters
burg and the other great capitols of
the world mere county seats existing
at the pleasure of Berlin and Vassals
to her government. He told how
these maps were supplemented by
others. picturing the United States as
province of Germany, with even
her name changed. He told how
Germany at one stage of the present
war was ready to propose to the al
lies that she be allowed to quit the
war, pay a heavy indemnity and be
permitted to lay the United States
waste and collect the money here.
DR.. Hills closed with a plea to

the French mission, purely as an act
of courtesy to the visitors, because
il has facilities for issuing copies
of documents and the French mis-
sion has none.
War Department officials declined
to discuss the incident at all, be-
cause it touches on subject about
which the department discourages
any speculation at this time. Only
to-day, Secretary Baker in an official
statement, deplored speculation on
when American troops were to go
abroad and indicated that no final
decision has been reached.
The explanation most freely given
is by Emile Hovelaque of the French
mission, who has been acting as an
interpreter and who read to news
papermen a translation of Marshal
Joffre's statement last Sunday. This
translation contained the reference
which was expurgated from the Off
cial report when later issued through
the state Department by the French
mission.
In referring to the expurgation
of the statement, Mr.. Hovelaque
said:
I'VE discovered that it might be
unpleasant to the War Department; /;
that it might react on public opinion.
We eXpurgated the formal state
ment. NJ. Viviani did not see it
before it was read to the news
papermen. Colonel Cosby and l
translated it. We saw that Marshal
Joffre had spoken in too definite
terms so a paragraph was struck

to become effective May 1, but up
to yesterday 10 reply had been re-
ceived from the contractors, either
individually or collectively.
Yesterday afternoon the executive
board of the union got together in
Labor Hall, while the contractors
held a meeting in the Commonwealth
Hotel Building. At 2.30 a commit
tee from the union called on the
contractors and we're told that the
contractors weIc not ready to meet
the men. The union men say they
asked to be called by telephone when
the contractors were ready and that
they waited until nearly . o'clock,
when the announcement was made
that the contractors were willing to
pay a minimum of 40 cents an hour.
with Il sliding scale upward. and q
nine hour day.
The men say they are now re-
ceiving forty cents an hour and
working nine hours. The meeting
of the union followed this morning,
when the men in employ of con-
tractors who have not signed the
scale decided to quit work.
I'VE are asking for only what We
believe reasonable" a representative
of the union said to-day Living
costs have gone up to such an en-
tent that we have to have more
wages. In comparison with some
other employees of the building trade
and in consideration of the fact that
we cannot work every day, due to
weather and other conditions, we
think we ought to have fifty cents
an hour"
