j. S. Print Shop Is
a Busy Place Now

D If you ever have occasion to doubt
that we are in real war just ask the
government printing Office. There are
employees here who, having success
fully weathered two wars, know just
as much about war as Sherman did.
and they are certain that so far as
printing goes there has never been a
waro like this one, writes Frederic j.
Haskin, in special Washington letter
to the Chicago Daily News.
A few days after the sinking Of the
Maine, which precipitated our last war
a report concerning the disaster was
sent to the government printing Office
and ordered to be printed. It contained
300 pages of text and required "a full
page engravings. Although the rough
draft of the report was not received
until o'clock one afternoon, it was
printed, bound and engraved and on
the desks of senators and representa-
tives at 9 o'clock the next morning.
The printing Office was rather proud
of this record in 1898. Today it is
ashamed of it. "Why, we could do ten
times that amount of printing, binding
and engraving in "a hours nowadays"
boosted one employee the other day.
"ln fact, there really amt no limit to
what we can do" he added modestly.
As an Aid to Free Speech
Apparently, this is no exaggeration.
There is practically no limit to the &C.
tivities of the United States printery
today In times of peace it is one of
the busiest departments of the govern
ment-a government which is Wig
liant advocate of the American pre-
rogative of free and prolonged speech.
But the amount of work produced dur
ing the past two months has estab-
lished record never before equaled
in the history of the plant.
With the declaration of war came
hundreds of rush orders from the vari-
Gus departments. Every bureau want
ed its bulletin first. Also, congress
started on legislation which required
whole books of hearings and enlarged
the Constitutional Record to formid-
able size. Then, on May 10, the first
number of the Official Bulletin, pub.
lished by the committee on public in
formation, was received. This bulletin
makes eight pages, and $1,000 copies
must be printed each day and mailed
out. So the Office, inaddition to all its
other multifarious duties, now gets out
a daily newspaper ION the side"

Thursday afternoon Mrs. o. A. Bar.

FANS MUST DO THEIR BIT
WAR TAX PLANS COMPLETE:
FREE TICKETS INCLUDED

Local baseball fans will be obliged
to contribute to the war fund. A
tax of 10 per cent will be imposed on
all baseball tickets on and after June
l. Even holders of complimentary
tickets will have to pay five cents
every time they see ball game free.
1t means two and half cents tax on
every 25-cent admission ticket sold
at Island Park.
Manager George Cockill said to-
day "he did not know how the base
ball tax problem would be worked
out in Harrisburg" He is of the
opinion that stamps Will be sold and
holders of coupon books will not be
obliged to stop at the gate every day
and pay the tax. The local man
ager would like to see enough books
sold and attendance large enough to
permit paying the tax. He said:
Will Await Ruling
81 will wait until the law IS
threshed out. 1t will mean some
complications for time, but think
everything will come around all
right. Until there is d ruling of some
kind no one will be able to figure out
out this tax proposition. Everybody
must do their bit. Plans will be fixed
by the Major leagues for the coll
lection of the tax and the miners
will fall in line when the time
comes" A dispatch from WASH
ington says
THE baseball fan will have to pay
10 per cent. more for his fun after
June ! than he ever did before.
President John X. Tener, of the Ma

tional League, stated yesterday that
the war tax as levied is satisfactory
to club owners, for, instead of levy
ing tax of 10 per cent on the gross
receipts, as was at first suggested, the
fans Will now have to pay the tax
when they purchase their tickets of
admission at the parks. Both the
National and American leagues OBJ
Jected to tax on the receipts on
the ground that the obligation would
be so heavy that 1t would be ruinous
to the business.
Starts June
After June / when the fans buy
their tickets at the ticket window of
the parks they will also have to pay
tax of 10 per cent. This is the same
system that has been in vogue at
Toronto and Montreal in the Inter-
national League. 1t means that the
purchaser of the fifty-cent admission
Will have to pay fifty-hve cents, the
seventy-five cent admission eighty-
three cents, the 81 tickets will be
S1.1O and the $3.50 box seats will be
S1.65.
"All holders of complimentary
tickets to the baseball games will
have to pay a tax of five cents and
the tax on children under twelve
years of age will be one cent.
The National League has called
meeting here of it's club owners for
Saturday morning. At this meet
ing the club owners will discuss the
probable effect the war tax will have
upon the game and the probable eff
feet of conscription on the younger
players"

FLYNN AFTER
WELSH'S SCALP
Manager For ''Pete" Hartley
Issues Challenge to Eng
lish Champion

Manager Leo p. Flynn, who has
9 under his charge, Pete Hartley (The
New Durable Dance, is after the
scalp of Freddie Welsh. In letter
TO the Sporting Editor of the HAIR
RISBURG TELEGRAPH, Manager
Flynn says:
II see where Freddie Welsh (who
by virtue of his ability to hold and
rum is still the worlds lightweight
champion, has agreed for the sake
of sweet charity" to risk his title
in four-round bouts with Dundee,
Willie Jackson, Pete Hartley, and a
number of other first-class light
weights, and turn over the entire
gate to the Red Cross Fund.
This, on the face of it, looks
merely like a new excuse to obtain
a little new publicity to Manager
Pollock's sham chapion. In the first
place a four-round bout would not
draw, as the public would think they
were to be treated to an exhibition
only.
Issues Challenge
Now if Mr.. Welsh is sincere in
his offer to the Red Cross and not
merely seeking publicity on the
strength of patriotism, he will ac-
cept this proposition of Pete Hart
ley (The New Durable Dane) whom
he( Welsh) run out of a match
with in Cleveland two months ago,
and who has shown himself to be a
real contender for Welsh's crown by
beating Joe yelling. Rockey Kan
sas. and Milburn Saylor in the last
six weeks. Here is Hartley's propo-
sition to Dodging Freddie.
Hartley will box Welsh ten rounds
for the title in New York or any
city in the United States, and will
pay all his expenses, to whatever city
the match is held in, and will turn
everything over to the Red Cross
Fund. and, Furthermore, as he has
an even money chance of knocking
the "staller" out in ten rounds, will
toetaoi- 'oit, IL Ogwkto (uSSiv nahA-
in the event of his winning the
championship turn over so per cent.
of his entire earnings as champion
to the Red Cross fund, during the en-
tire time the United States is at war
