Steelton Red Cross
Workers Charge Man
Started False Story

1t is reported that A. Patterson. a
driver for an oil company. residing at
Fifth and Delaware streets, when
asked to contribute to the Red Cross
by a resident of Steelton in a Front
street hotel, Steelton. during n recent
campaign, accused the Red Cross of
loose housekeeping.
A witness says that Peterson, with
an oath, declared that his wife had
knit a sweater fC" relative and
turned IL over to ~ Harrisburg Red
Cross for shipment. He said that
some time later his wife was at the
Red Cross Headquarters and saw a
woman wearing what she believed
was the sweater she had knit. When
making the sweater she placed a
mark of Identification on it and asked
the woman tn sec it, She discovered
the mark on the sweater. ne said. The
story, of course, is not true.
This story is getting wide clrcula-
ton, and an investigation has been
conducted by a committee in charge of
the campaign. Unless this man apollo
gizes publicly. the matter will be
taken up with the Federal Govern
ment. members of the Steelton con-
tinRent said to-day.
When a reporter asked Patterson
about the matter. he said: "I have
nothing to say just now; nothing to
say"

Trial of the Harscrabble appeal
cases will be started in county court
on Monday morning, when the jury
from the November session of Com
mon Pleas court will serve. With
the verdicts returned in these Gp-
peals from the awards by viewers
for damages to property owners on
the west side of Front street, from
Calder to Herr streets, the last step
in the acquisition of this territory
by the cit ywill be taken. City Of
ficials preferred to wait until all
appeals had been settled before
taking over any of the properties.
If there is no appeal from -hs jury
awards the city can begin at once
taking over the ground and razing
some of the buildings, after the
damages have been paid to the
owners.

No Time Set For Departure
of County Selected Men

w. G. Murdock, disbursing officer
at the state draft headquarters to-
day said that no information had
been received from Washington as
TO the dates when the remainder
of the quota under the first draft
call would be sent to Camps Meade
and Lee and that inquiries made in
Philadelphia were merely to ascer-
tam the condition of the local boards
IN regard to the number of men
needed to complete the quota.
While 1t is believed that the 1 900
men needed to complete the quota
Tor Camp Sherman will be sent De
cember IA or 15 there is nothing to
indicate when the men will go to
other camps.
The statement that Dauphin conn
TVS remaining men would start for
camp Meade December II was pro-
nounced without foundation. The
same is true of Philadelphia and
other counties. Dauphin county draft
officers, who inquired at the state
headquarters regarding the reports
that the men would start Decem-
Der II were informed that there was
nothing on which to base such re-
ports.

FIRST STORM OF
WINTER HOLDS UP
TRAFFIC IN CITY
Snow TO Continue All Night
With Cold Weather
in Wake
STREET FORCES ARE BUSY
Railway Schedules Are Held
Up; Pavements Are
Dangerous
STREET FORCES ARE BUSY

The first real snowstorm of the
winter is now at it's height. Har
risburgers awoke this morning to see
the first flakes begin to fall and in
short time the ground was covered.
According to Weather ForecaSter
Domain the storm will most likely
continue throughout the night. The
temperature will probably rise slight
ly tomorrow and then suddenly
drop. Mr.. Demain said that indica-
tions are that tomorrow will be
the coldest of the season. There is
slight possibility that the snow
might turn to rain if the tempera-
ture rises
In order to keep the streets free
for the heavy Saturday night traffic
the City Highway Department has
its full force of men working to clear
the streets of the snow. The Harris
burg Railways Company has put the
sweepers into operation to keep the
car tracks free, for service.
Christmas Trees Here
Christmas trees made their first
appearance in the city this morning.
A wagonload of pine and spruce trees
was brought to market by John OFT,
of Granville. More than thirty trees
made up the first lot. A number of
green holly stocks with the big red
berries was also included in the
holiday greens. Because so many
people thought that the trees would
wither before Christmas and were
not anxious to buy. Mr.. OFT stored
the trees and he will sell them next
week. The price asked for the trees
was fifty cents apiece.
Because so many people were un-
able to clean the pavements, a num-
Der of persons slipped on the snow
and fell. Vehicular traffic also was
held up by slippery pavements. No
serious accidents were reported to
the hospital authorities.
Railways Tied Up
The main lines of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad is within the storm
area, and trains were not running
with any regularity to-day. The
worst trouble, according. to reports,
is on the Pittsburgh division, Where
there was heavy snow yesterday.
The Middle and Philadelphia divi-
sions were kept open with the aid of
construction and track gangs. They
were called out early and will be on
duty all day. and tonight if neces-
sary. No trouble has been reported
on switch troubles. Special forces

Messenger Boys Ungallantly
Go on Strike When Girls
Are Given "the Soft Jobs"

"All us men "a got t. stand to-
gedder, now. Hully chee, TIL wo-
men folks is buttin' into everything.
Un'erstan' now, we got t. stick!"
A feeble cheer, accompanied with
savage leer at two dapper cute lit
tie messenger girds inside the Postal
Telegraph office. followed the lead
er's speech, and the strike of mes
senger boys was on.
'Yeh, l guess We'll stick" mediat-
ed one thoughtfully, "only l know
me mudder is going t give it t. me.
She says women en- do anything a
man can"
When the first messenger girl was
employed no objection was made by
the regular staff. Even a second did
not cause any disturbance. There
was something rather interesting in
working with the young women, for
time; made the hardships easier.
But when the Postal found that girls
were quite efficient and more of
them to be had the boys become
alarmed. Quite a few jobless bows
are still sullenly realizing the fact
that women folks are butting into
everything.

HUN AND ALLIED
ARMEN BATTLE
OVER SWISS TOWN
First Infraction of Switzer-
lands Neutrality; No Ma

By associated Press

Geneva, Switzerland, Friday. Dec.
7.-The first aerial battle between
allied and German airmen over Swiss
territory occupied around Basle to-
day. 1t appears the Germans hard
pressed by their opponents, entered
Switzerland on purpose. The fight
took place at great height and the
number of the airplanes is not
known. The encounter lasted twenty
minutes Seven bombs were dropped
on Swiss territory but no material
damage resulted.
Eventually the airmen sped toward
Alsace, still fighting, while Swiss, SOL
diers bombarded both parties with
shells from anti-aircraft guns. The
resident of Basic and the neigh bor-
ing territory are indignant over the
violation of Switzerland's neutrality.

TEUTONS PAYAWFUL
PRICE FOR ADVANCE
ON ITALIAN FRONT
Within Four Days Defenders Have Been Forced Back
Three Miles on Ten-Mle Front; Many Prefer
Death to Surrender

London, Dec. S.-The number of
Italians captured by the Germans
and Austrians in their new offen-
sive now exceeds 10000, according
TO an official Austrian announce
ment. Strong points east of Asiago
have been stormed, the TtItement
says.
Americas declaration of war on
Austria Hungary comes at a moment
when the Italian northern front be-
tween Asiago and the Brenta is being
hard pressed by an Austro- German
army under Field Marshal Conrad
Won Hoetzendorf, an Austrian. The
passage of the declaration by Con-
gress with only one dissenting vote
and it signing by President Wilson
late yesterday, probably will be a
great moral help to the people of

Italy, and especially to the heroic
troops in the Trentino.
In four days the invading Austro-
Germans have forced the Italians
back an average of three miles on a
ten-mile front. But the advance was
gained at a great cost in casualties
as the Italians fought desperately
every foot of the way and at some
points preferred to die rather than
to surrender or retire. In addition to
losing -Ionte Sisemol, three miles
east of Asiago, the Italians, accord
ing to Berlin, have given up four
thousand prisoners.
Although superior in numbers, ar
tillery has forced the Italians to re-
treat, the defense line has not been
broken and there is yet ten miles OF
mountain country to fight through

Complement of 07 Men

Complement of 07 Men
The complement of the Jones in
peace times was five officers. five
petty officers and eighty-seven en-
listed men. Undoubtedly this has been
increased to a hundred or more. From
the first report it would appear that
the, loss of life would be upward OF
sixty.
The attack. which was at o'clock
at night, was delivered by torpedo.
In the rolling icy seas of the North
Atlantic winter weather the subma-
rine probably had plenty Of opportu-
nifty to pick her time for the shot.
The submersible probably came upon
the destroyer patrolling her course
in the dark and had all the best of
the engagement. No details were
contained in to-day's report but it
has been the case heretofore that
when a submarine gets a hit on a
destroyer it is more due to a chance
meeting and good opportunity than
fighting skill on the part of the sub
marine.
Went Down Quickly
The large loss of life would indi-
cate that the torpedo, with its deadly
charge of high explosive, made fair
hit plump on the destroyer's thin
hull and that the submarine hunter
probably was blown fairly in two.
That she went down quickly is evil
denced by the fact that nothing is
said of survivors getting off in life
boats. Those saved got off on RATS
which probably noated off the sink
ing ship as she plunged down in the
icy darkness.
The names of the ten survivors re-
ported follow: Lieutenant John X.
