WINDOW AND PORCH BOXES

TIME window and porch box cam
paign inaugurated by the Har-
risburg Telegraph with such
marked success last year is to be con-
Quoted on q greatly increased scale
this year, but this time the news
paper will not have to be the pioneer
in the movement. Every man or
woman who put out a window or
porch box last summer is a thorough
convert to the cause of the "City
Beautiful" and from all parts of
town come reports of neighborhood
efforts to enlarge the scope of the
box gardening area this spring.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole
lump. So does one window box
spread the contagion of city beauti-
fication throughout a whole COM
munity. The Telegraph is highly
pleased that the seed it sowed last
year is bearing such wonderful har-
vest. For the benefit of the newcom-
ers in window garden work this news
paper is planning q series of instruc-
tive articles and pictures showing
what has been done elsewhere and
what can be done here.

Z eSstnce 1914 he said, Switzerland

States in particular for many essen

ofwhich is grain. On the other hand,
Switzerland has become equally de-
pendent on the Central powers in gem

equally essential commodities, the
most important of which are coal,
from, chemical fertilizers and pota-
tees. That the Central powers should
not supply us gratuitiously with coal
and iron is as natural as it is natural
tina the allies should not allow us to
pay#for them with the foodstuffs they
export to us.
@"Thet Allies have recognized that

A Gulf Port, Sept. 17.-Customs
officials Saturday boarded a Spanish
steamer here, shortly before he
vessel was scheduled to depart for a
European port and seized $4,000 in
gold secreted in a barrel of satr pork
that formed a part}of the ships stores.
An investigation conducted by the
federal district attorney vas followed
by the arrest of three members Of the
ships crew, charged with violating
President Wilson'S proclamation of
September 10, prohibiting the export
Of gold, save under license.
Officials at first were inclined to the
belief, they said, that the gold bears
some relation to reports that Ger
many has received gold through COM
munication of her submarines with
neutral ships.
Following the investigation COM
,ment was withheld. *
Full details were wired to- Wash
,ington tonight by TIE collector Of the
port. 1t is understood the money wa
obtained by the ships cook from a
local bank, cashing a draft for the
full amount on a bank in Havana.
The individual giving the draft is a

QUIET REIGNS
ALONG FRONTS
Military Activities Seem to
Be at Minimum for
This Season.
(By The Associated Press.)

r.g.FU-.
Russia's internal situation was con-
siderably clarified by Saturdays new
dispatches which announced the ar
rest of General Korniloff, marking
the definite end Of his revolt, and the
formation of a new cabinet at Petro-
grad. Publication of the names of
the new cabinet members was defer
red for a day.
With General Korniloff was arrest
ed General Lokomsky, who was in
command on the Russian northern
front when the. revolt started and who
cast his lot with his chief. What the
fate of the two men will be is prob
lematical. Opinion in Russia seems
widely divergent as to the treatment

Sweden Is minded to do everything
possible to set matters right so far as
she was concerned with the German

Military activities on most Of the
fronts seem al a minimum for this
season., when active operations are
still possible virtually everywhere in
the field OF hostilities.

porting activity Of italian lines on the

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Sept. 17.-(By the Canadian Press).
There have been no infantry en-
gagements on the Canadian front dur
ing the past few days. The enemy has
apparently given UP patrolling in the
chaos Of wrecked houses, or which
No Mans land consists on the greater
part Of the front. Retaliation for
recent projection Of gas into Lens was
not swift, but when 1t came, it was
vigorous and direct. On Friday af-
ternoon the German trench mortars
opened fire! on our lines to the west
of Lens, where the enemy perhaps be-
lieved u gas projectors were 1locat-
ed. After the mortars had been go
ing for some time, enemy guns, light
and heavy, were also turned loose or
this section of the 'front.'. In response
our artillery put a barrage on the
German line and silenced their trench
mortars, but the violent artillery due
continued for several hours. The only
reasonable explanation of the enemy'E
marked activity is that his losses
from our gas attack have been sc
serious that even at great cost In pro
that part Of the line from which he
believed the attacks came n the hope
of locating and destroying the pro.
jectors.
The situation OF the Germans in the
center of Lens, with the vigilan1
enemy on high ground to the north
and southwest, is not a happy one

she has been generous towards us.
Burning exclusively German coal, the
Swiss people suffered less from last
winters cold than the German peo-
pie themselves. Last year three
fourths Of our imported potatoes were

we were in dire need of potato seeds
Germany, in spite of her own short
age, supplied US literally.
When the RumorsS of the threat

which provoked still more rejoicing in
Berlin than anxiety in Berne, it WAS
intimated@ that If the Allies failed us
we might rely on Germany even for
our cereal foodstuffs. u
I'm the present situation there are

many would not make If they were
fruitful of political advantage. For.

1.-THE United States government
has 1t in its power to serve Switzer-
land or to ruin her. For America to
serve Switzerland in the present crisis
is to clear the way for a realization
Of the American peace idea, by con-
vincing the most hardened Of Ger
man skeptics and cynics Of its abso-
lutte sincerity and of it's moderation.
For America to let Switzerland perish
or to allow her to be served through
the shrewd and calculating generosity
of. the Gereman autocracy would be
to abandon the most ancient and the
f1rrhest foothold of liberal and fed
erative democracy on the continent of
Europe. Could anything more hope-

"And on the other hand could any

true intentions Of the American gov
eminent and the true obstacle to last

treatment Of that country which. at
their doors, is for friends and foes OF

ment of the decomratic idea?

tic and foreign war news. The maxi
mum penalty for this is twenty years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
All these lines of information laid

TAG SLACKERS,
1000 OF THEN,
TO BE PUNISHED
Hall, on War Path, Makes
New Drive on Car Own
ers Without License
Especial to The Forum

lSpeclal 10 Inc FOrum.)
Bismarck, N. D., July 9.-There are
1000 tagless automobiles in North
Dakota, Secretary of State Hall de-
ciared this morning.
In the Red river valley, that Sec
ton of the state clamoring most
strenuously for state and federal aid
in highway building, 800 automobile
owners are driving cars bearing Min
resota tags. as a means Of cheating
the highway fund out Of $3.50 on
license fees for the next three years.
The head of one of the most i'm
p0rtant automobile and road-boost-
Ing organizations in the Red river
valley wears q Minnesota tag on his
North Dakota car, says Mr.. Hab.
North Dakota has registered to
date $4,000 cars. The actual number
Of machines in the state is estimat-
cd at $4,000.
One prominent business man in
the capital city boasts that he has
never invested in an automobile
for years.
3 These are some warm weather
statements ELECTED this morning from
Mr.. Hall, who was even hotter than
the thermometer.
Minot Cleanup a Picnic,
"If some of those people living in
the border counties in the eastern
part of the state do not come through
soon, the Minot cleanup will not be
in it with what will happen to them"
said Mr.. Hall, I'VE need every penny
we can get to improve our highways.
We want good roads not only for
these same automobilists to enjoy
but to aid the farmer next fall in
marketing his crops. The road fund
is entitled to this money; the coun-
ty authorities are at last aroused,
and we intend to show these auto
mobile slackers that the laws of their
state are not to be ignored.
Pasteboard licenses are the latest
graft foisted on the state. They are
exact duplicates of the metal tags,
but printed on heavy cardboard.
From short distance the sham can
not be detected.
A favorite practice is said TO be the
use of a License Applied For" tag.
That will not work either, Hall as
gerts.
