General Crowder Issues
His Orders for Calling
National Army to Colors

The ~first 100000 men of the
National Army will be called to
the colors September /.
They will be sent to their re-
spective training camps between
September 1 and 5.
The men will be ordered to
report to the local board which
examined them by $40 D. m.
on September l for retreat roll
call.
Approximately one-third of the
quota from each district will be
ordered to report.
Five alternates will be sum-
moned in each district in addi-
ton to the men selected to go to
camp.
Lodging and meals will be pro-
vided for the men by their local
boards while they are waiting 20
entrain and on the way to the
training camp.
Men may be allowed to spend
these last days at home, at the
discretion of the local boards
They must report for rollcall at
the headquarters of their local
boards each afternoon at $50.
The men will be allowed to
take only few necessary toilet
articles and a change of under
clothing to the training camp.
When each detachment reports
to it's local board for it's first roll
call, a member of the squad will
be appointed its leader.
Men failing to report when or
dered will be considered de-
serters.
They will be sought by the
military authorities, and when
captured will be tried by court
martial.
On the day of departure for
camp, each party must assemble
at the headquarters of it's local
board forty-five minutes before
train time, plus an adequate time
allowance for reaching the rail-
road station.
There will be a final rollcall
and a checking up of the de-
tachment. This will be repeated
at the station as a final precau-
tionary measure.
Prior to reaching camp the
J men will not come in contact
with the military authorities, but
will be under the control of their
respective local exemption boards
and under direct command of
one of their own number.
Once at camp, h0wever, they
will be taken in charge by army
officers. Strict military discipline
will rule from the first.

OFFICE BUILDING FALLS
INTO. EXCAVATION
[Contlnued From First Page

the work in progress when the build
ing fell that one man was placing
props against the Carnes building
when the latter fell. Contractor
johnson does not know who was at
work at that point, and due to the
fact that some of his men were not
working this afternoon he cannot
tell whether any of his employees are
in the RUNS until the wreckage is
cleared away.
Manager III. B. Taylor, of the type
writer company, was in front of his
place of business a few minutes be-
fore the crash came. He said he
heard cracking sounds in the walls
1t was very short time after that
old structure, would collapse, and
secured what Valuables he could get
his hands on and left the building.
1t was a very shrort time after that
the collapse came. There was a big
rush of people who were on the
street near the scene of the accident
and many were too excited to know
just what to do first.
Tratnc Officer Lyme, who was on
duty at Third and Walnut streets,
sent in a call for aid. Fire Chief
Kinder was notified and he called
outthe fire companies from the Cen
trail district. In the meantime Lieu
tenant George Shoemaker, of Troop
c, Governors Troop, and his
troopers were passing enroute to
the island. where a game of baseball
was scheduled. AS soon as it was
made known what had happened,
Lieutenant Shoemaker ordered his
troopers to lend a hand in clearing
away the wreckage, to ascertain
whether any person was buried be-
meath.
Citizens, Boy Scouts. and firemen
joined with the soldiers and worked
hard. They lifted the heavy timbers
from the top of the pile of debris
and with their hands dug into the
dirt and bricks. Valuables in the
way of typwriters, multigraphs ma
chimes, etc, were tossed on a pile,
the one big desire being to get to
human beings whom it was feared
were buried in the wreckage.
Superintendent f.. O. Johnson, who
is employed by Murphy x Co., con-
tractors in charge of the hotel ex-
cavations, organized his working
forces and the clearing away of the
wreckage moved along more sys-
Dramatically. The big crowds were
pushed back and n squad of state
police placed on duty.
Superintendent johnson also put a
force of men at work propping other
buildings and to enable the firemen
to clear away the timbers. Braces
were placed against the building ad-
joining so that carpenters would be
able to work on the hanging portions
of the fallen building with safety.
Those Injured
Miss Mary Rainier, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. II. Miles were in the Philadel-
phia dental parlors when the crash
came. Harry Young, IA, of West
Fairview, is believed to be the most
seriously injured of those taken to
the hospital.
Miss May Sutton, an employe of

had just stepped from the lower end
of the building to the upper rooms
to answer the telephone, when the
entire room collapsed. She fell clear

Johnson, superintendent of the work
at the hotel.
Mr.. Johnson said that shortly af-
ter the blast he noticed the cracks
appearing in the walls and at once
put men to work bracing the build
ing in the same manner that the ones
adjoining it have been propped.

Mr.. Johnson continued. With the

Build
At Reasonable
Cost

Today is your
opport tn n ity to
build at reasonable
cost.
If you pass by the
present opportunity it
may be years before
you will have the op-
portunity to buy lum-
Der at prices as reason
able as we now offer.
The impression seems
to prevail that building
material prices are very
high and that the pros
pective builder who holds
off will be able to buy
bargains later.
The fact is, lumber
prices have increased
somewhat in the last three
years - but not in pro-
portion to advances in
other lines.
There is no element of
artificial initiation in our
prices and they must
eventually go higher.
The Government is de-
manding billions of feet
OF lumber for merchant
vessels and other war pur-
poses. This item alone
is sure eventually to make
a big advance in price.

BIG RAIROAD STRIKE
HAS BEEN AyERTED
Railroad Managers Accept Terms Of
Employees at Last Moment.

Employees at Last Moment.
New York, March 19.-The railroad
strike has been averted. Yielding to
the appeal of President Wilson and
facing the probability Of the country's
entrance into the world war, the rail
roads this morning, granted the four
brotherhoods' demands for for a basic
eight-hOur day.
The brotherhoods called off the
strike What is regarded as COM
plete surrender of the railroads viii

yearly
Three hundred thousand Of men will
profit by concession which puts the
Adamson law into effect irrespective
Of the supreme courts action.
The crisis resulting from the sink
ing Of three American ships was a
prime factor.
The railroads decision came after
tifty hours anxious conference, all of
which until short time before the
announcement pointed to an inevitable
deadlock and after the mediators made
no secret of the fact that they viewed
the outlook with pessimislh. Both
sides had been told of the seriousness
of the international situation but ap-
parcntly it had fallen upon deaf ears.
Secretary Lane had issued a state
ment saying he would renew the con
fcrences Monday, intimating he was
none too hopeful and the brotherhood
chiefs had gone to their hotel.
Mcdiators conferred with railroad
managers again with the result that
the latter are said to have voted
unanimously to yield to the brother
hoods in order that neither al home
nor abroad should there be fear or
hope that the efficient operation of
the railroads of the country would be
hampcrcd or impaired" Secretary
! Lane paid high tribute to the pa
triotism Of the railroads.
Secretary Lane and other mediators
were visibly affected when they learn
