MAY SOON CROSS THE OCEAN

Mobilization of the national guard
began Monday. While no orders for
embarkment of state troops for
France will be given until after Au-
gust 9Th when the entire force will
be formally drafted into the United
States army, there are indications
that some divisions will be regarded
as ready to board transports soon af-
ter that date.
The first clause of President Will
sons proclamation providing for the
liberalization of the national guard
for the war became effective Sunday,
the 18th. Under it all guard units
from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia. Michigan. Wisconsin,
Minnesota Iowa North and South Da-
kota and Nebraska went on the feder-
al pay roll from that date.
Actual concentration of troops in
their home or state camps began
Monday. Approximately one-half of
the total strength of the national
guard or more than $4,000 men, is
included in the force assembling.
To Relieve "Watchmen."
Rapid progress is being made in
relieving guard regiments which have
been in the federal service since the
declaration of war guarding proper
ty This work will be taken over
largely by civilian watchmen. 1t will
be necessary to retain guardsmen for
the protection of certain big NUM-
lions works and other property vital
to the conduct of the war. The de-
partment commanders will hold such
troops as they deem advisable for
this purpose.
The next step in the general mobil-
ization will be the ordering of divis-
ions to the camp sites already select
ed for them. A full supply of tentage
| is available department reports show
! and the divisions will entrain as rap
| idly as the commanders of the de-
partments from which they come and
of those in which their camps are To-
Gated agree as to dates.
May Use French Guns.
The most serious shortage of wal
equipment for the guard is in the ar
tillery. For training purposes the big
gun regiments undoubtedly will con-
tinue to use the equipment they have
supplemented by such additional ord
nance as the regular service can
! spare. II ltSdlhtd ~ dNtlNdliy
certain, however, that if the guard di-
visions are sent to France at an early
date they will be equipped with
French artillery on their arrival
there. Presumably their first wal
work will be with the famous French
"75s."
Departure of the guardsmen for
France, il was indicated, will be gov
erned by the shipping problem. War
department officials regard many di-
visions of the state troops as virtually
ready now for the intensive training
behind the fighting line in France
which will prepare them for their
place in the trenches. There is no
reason why some elements could not
go forward at once except lack OF
transportation and the submarine
menace.

AS \ MAN, ARE YOU SHORT?
THEN GO JOIN THE ARMY

If you are short. do not be wor-
ried, you can join the army. If you
are no shorter than feet, | inch. the
/. y. G. will take you. The shorter
you are, the better chance for the bull
lets to go overhead. thus saving dam
ages TO the department of the interi-
or. This new ruling came Wednes-
day. The l. n. G. needs men. Ma
poleon was only 5 feet, l inch high
and he lived to meet many bullets and
escaped them all, finally falling a vic
tim to desertion and loneliness on
St. Helena. The government is US
ing the argument about the little cor
poral to show the logic of little men
getting into the uniforms. So, If you
want to join the army and are not as
big as Jess Willard, remember that
the short men can dodge the high
balls and have not so far to fall. This
standard Of length will be maintained
until the militia Is recruited to its
quota.

Citizens Experience?
Something new is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as repre-

The statement of manufacturer is
not convincing proof of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had a bad

A lame, weak or aching one,
Would you experiment on it?
You will read of many so-called

PARDON CASE
CAUSES SPLIT
McClain and Brown Differ as
to Merits of Harrisburg
Italians Case

Members of the State Board of Par
dons split to-day as to whether or not
Bruno Pizzimenti, Harrisburg I.al-
ian, should be pardoned from serving
the remaining nine years of an 49,
year term for murder in the second de-
gree.
Attorney General Brown and Lieu
tenant-Governor McClain took oppo-
site sides--Mr. Brown contending that
Pizzimenti was a victim of cireum-
stances and had suffered enough while
the Lieutenant Governor declared that
Pizzimenti should stay in the peniten-
tiary.
Pizzimenti pleaded guilty to sec
ond degree murder in the Dauphin
county courts in March, 1907. He and
his brother, who was also implicated
in the killing of a fellow countryman
in South Second street, were sentenced
by Judge Capp, then specially presid-
ing here from Lebanon, to eighteen
years. The brother later was par
doned.
Re-arrestcd in Chester
In 1913 Pizzimenti was paroled and
was employed by w. III. Pierce. who
organized the strike here of the Broth
erhood of Railway Employees, to or
ganize italian trackhands. He was ar
rested in Chester county for melting
to riot and sentenced to six months
in Jail. AT the conclusion of this term
Pizzimenti was sent back to the East
ern penitentiary to serve out his un-
expired term. C. A. Carroll. of Phil
adelphia, and w. J.. Loeser, of this
city,. appeared for the prisoner and
District Attorney M. e. Stroup opposed
the pardon.

In an effort to catch alleged Ger

making maps of munitions plants and
railr-LG centers in Pennsylvania, spe-
cial officers of the Philadelphia divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania railroad, to-
day watched every possible avenue of
escape.
Two suspects on train No. s leaving
Harrisburg at 2:35 yesterday after
noon either got away from the detec-
tives by changing their makeup or
leaving the train at Lancaster before
search was made in that city.
The suspects started activity when
the train passed Steelton. Several
pictures of the steel plant We're taken
when the train slowed up, the detec-
tives say. At Middletown more pic
lures were taken. Captain Barclay
was notified by telegram from Mt. Joy.
He wired Lancaster authorities to
make a search of the train, but the
men could not be found.
AT Philadelphia, government agents
and Philadelphia detectives boarded
the train at West Philadelphia where
they made a thorough search, but
were unable to discover any person
with cameras.

Washington. Feb. 21.-President
Wilson has practically decided to ap-

authority to protect American seamen

While officials said to-day there was
bare chance that he will not carry
out the plan, there was every indica-
ton that he would make his address
either late this week or early next
week.
The Presidents position, as outlin-
ed authoritatively to-day, is that Con-
gress before adjourning should pass a
broad resolution giving him additional
authority. He has definitely decided
what he will say to Congress but that
had not been made public. Officials
generally expect that sooner or later
arms will be furnished to American
ships.
Ships Still Tied Up
Despite the statement of the British
government that a very small percent
age of vessels going to and from the
war zone were being sunk by German
submarines, officials pointed out to-
day that most Am erican vessels in til e
transatlantic trade were still held up.

Recruiting Records
For Ten Years Broken

The past ten days has seen more re-
cruiting for the military and naval
forces of the United States than in
many years, it was reported this morn
ing at the recruiting stations in the
Bergner Building.
The Harrisburg district in the army
branch now stands fifteenth on a list
of fifty in the number of recruits
turned in by postmasters. it was said.
Postmasters, under a new act of Con-
gress, are paid $5 for each recruit they
can get for Uncle Sam, and they are
working hard toward getting men to
serve with the colors. Lieutenant
Lesher, assistant to Captain Harrell
said this morning that correspondence
with postmasters throughout the dis
trict is now being carried on with the
view of developing this form of re-
