Twenty-Five thousand, eight hun

cording to figures announced by the
County Commissioners office.
Although some of the men would
probably be exempted because of ply

expected that this will be necessary,
however,, as the State troops would
probably be called first.

GUARDSMEN ARE
COMING HERE TO
PROTECT BRIDGES

Reports reached Harrisburg to-day
that Company NJ, of Third Regiment
National Guard, would arrive here to-
day to guard the railroad bridges. 1t
is said the soldiers will be placed on
duty at Rockville, and on the Cum
berland Valley railroad bridge.
While Captain of Police Paul L.
Barclay of the Philadelphia division,
Pennsylvania railroad, admitted that
soldiers would be assigned to duty
on all. bridges, he was not in posi-
ton to say what companies would be
placed on duty in Harrisburg and
vicinity. Captain Barclay said it
would require more than a regiment
to take care of the Philadelphia divi-
sion property.
In addition to the soldiers there will
be $50 special railroad officers on
guard at shops, stations and railroad
terminals. OF this number lis will
be regular men now on duty. The
new men are being detailed from shop
employees, clerical forces and other
departments. The mgn will be select
ed according to their ability. Lucknow
shops will furnish so men.
The men will be assigned to special
duty between Marysville and Fifty
second street, Philadelphia. They will
be provided with quarters. Where II
is possible the shops will be used as
barracks. At some points commissary
and sleeping cars will be located. The
cots and equipment provided some
time ago when a strike was feared
will be used in the barracks and at
stations.
In addition to this extra police force
a regiment of soldiers will be assign
ed to duty on the Philadelphia divi-
sion. Reports to-day said the First
regiment would be sent as guards for
Pennsylvania railroad property. I'll is
is not official. Captain Barclay was
of the opinion that soldiers outside of
Pennsylvania would do guard duty
here.

BRIDGE GUARD
EXCHANGES SHOTS
WITH THREE MEN

Early this morning one of the
watchmen on the Cumberland Valley
bridge was shot at by three men whom
he had accosted for lettering under the
bridge at Island Fark. The guard ex-
changed shots with them and sent for
detachment of police who secured
the island but could discover no one.
The guard noticed three men lciter-
ing and acting suspiciously near the
base of one of the piers. He accosted
them and demanded to know their
business. TIE reply was a single shot
out of the dark that sent a bullet fly
ing periously close to his head The
guard Immediately opened fire on the
already fleeing men but was unable to
stop them.
Rush Police From City
He then hurried to the tower and
phoned for aid. Another man was sent
TO his assistance and an appeal made
to the local police department. A spe-
cial detachment of police and plain
clothes men were sent to investigate
the case but could discover no one.
Crossed in Boat
II is believed that the men landed
in a boat and made good their escape
by the same method. No suspicious
looking men were noticed passing the
tollgates at either end of the bridge.
A special detachment of the rail-
road police are investigating the case
to-day The bridge has been guarded
night and day for some weeks. Armed
guards will be increased to prevent a
reoccurrence of last nights shooting
bout AS one of the guards said to-
day, "the next time some one tries
similar stunt we will have some
tangible evidence, living or dead for
you to work on"

LEWIS FRIENDS
TRYING TO PROVE
He Is INNOCENT


Pittsburgh, Jan. 9-The movement
to clear Athe name of Bernard, W.
Lewis, of the suspicion that he MUIR
dered Maize Colbert at her apart
ment in Philadelphia before taking his
life in Atlantic City, last week, took
form today when a number of his
close friends, including his attorney,
Robert K. Dodds, began the investi-
cation of report that two men had
seen a man leaving the woman's
apartments shortly after the murder
was believed to have been commit
ted.
The story came to James McFay-
den, general manager of the Union
Stock Yards, in a letter from Cleve-
land, the writer asking that his name
be kept secret until he could have an
opportunity to see photograph of
Lewis and thus determine whether
the man he and his companion saw
leaving the place was the Pittsburgh
broker.
Lewis friends declare that he was
not vicious and that he kille1 himself
after learning a warrant had been
issued for his arrest, because he could
not endure disgrace.

RUSSIANS READY
TO OPEN MIGHTY
OFFENSIVE SOON

London, Jan. 9-The Russians are
preparing to launch a great new of
fensive in the Riga sector, according
to a Copenhagen despatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph Company, quoting
German newspaper correspondents
on the eastern front The Russian
troops are said to be equipped with
great quantities of munitions and
backed by large reserves. South of
Riga the artillery fire is said to
have been steadily increasing on both
sides. The weather is frosty. and
clear and the country covered with
snow.
The of the Taegliche
tempted a surprise attack on Sun
day near the Riga bridgehead. Great
masses Of the attackers, succeeded
during a snowstorm in entering a
Germany trench. The correspondent
says that evidently an attempt was be-
ing made to break through the road
between Mitau and Riga. The Ger
mans, seeing the danger, sent all
available reserves into the battle
reaching a pitch of tremendous fury.
The two armies fought with bombs
and bayonets until sunset when, ac-
cording to the correspondent the
Russians retreated to their previ-
Gus positions over snow that had been
redeemed with blood.

the employers have wanted things for
a long time. Police and gendarmes as
the guardian angels of the bosses are
put in the shade by the protection
afforded to the employers by the full
power of militarism. The workers
who make trouble are taken into the
si7.1y, while those Tho boost a ce--
tain policy and those who can pay
500 marks are set at liberty.
Points to England AS An Example
big business that is profiting
through the war is making enor-
NOUS profits; the last year was a
record-breaker for it. According to
the sense and letter of the law these
profits are to remain inviola BILE. When
the war broke out England had only
three munition factories; now she has
more than a hundred. Over there
they have emanicinated themselves
to some degree from the thraldom of
big business. For us, too, the proper
thing would be the naturalization,
not only of the industries engaged in
supplying war material, but also Of all
the industries involved. Instead of
doing that you are militarizing society.
You have often reproached the So
cial Democracy with wanting to pen
up all humanity in one big barracks.
We never had any such conception
of compulsory labor. but, according
to to our view, every one should be
able to choose the wvrk necessary to
insure his existence and his happi-
ness"
Grave doubt as to the efficacy of
the new law is expressed in a lengthy
article in the Leipziger Volkszeitung,
attributed to "a correspondent" but
generally interpreted by the London
press as an editorial, and reading, in
part, as follow:
1--WE doubt whether this creation of
new army will cause the enthusiasm
which seized on many at the begin
ming of the fresh and glorious war.
No amount Of press propaganda will
alter this fact, and when we read
the hints dropped by super patriots
as to how they wish the new law to
look, we are filled with grave con
Germ for the near future. 1t is urged
that all unoccUpied fit persons Of
either sex must receive work to Go.
First, as for the men: Are there really
still so many fit unemployed as to
require special law to deal with
them? All men of military age have
already worwk to do { a better orga-
nization of certain military works
would undoubtedly release many for
more useful tasks), and as, far as we
can see every man above AZ is already
doing what he can. Fathers have re-
placed their sons, trade and industry
haves killfully picked out al useful
workers to fill the gaps left by mobi-
lization. We cannot think that there
are still many who are iidling because
they need not work.
The paper introduces this article by
reminding the authorities that "opin-
ions voicing grave objections to the
scheme are becoming more and more
and more frequent

RAILROADS OPEN
ATTACK AGAINST
1E|GHT-HOUR LAW

Washington, Jan. 9-The supreme
court continued today hearing Of the
test case brought to decide constitu-
tionality of the Adamson act, with the
railroads presenting their side of the
controversy. The roads counsel were
expected to occupy the entire day with
their arguments, leaving Frank Hag-
erman, special assistant to the attor-
ney general, to conclude for the gov
eminent tomorrow.
In outlining the railroads attacks
upon the law, Walker D. Hines, chair
man of the railroads general coun-
sci, who opened today's hearing, laid
stress upon the carriers contention
that the law is not a contention Of
hours of employment but merely a
wage fixing statute. He denied that
Congress is given power to fix wages
under the constitution.
John G. johnson, of Philadelphia,
was chosen to close the case for the
railroads Arthur Miller, of Kansas
City, attorney for the Missouri, Okla
homa and Gulf Railroad, whose attack
upon the law was chosen to test it's
national application, will not. partici-
pate in the oral presentation.
In addition to denying that the
law is an "hours of service statute,
the railroads contentious, also in
cluded assertions that it is work
able and capable of enforcement only
by judicial action.
The railroad. employees, the carriers
commended, are not bound by the law
to remain in service and not strike,
although, the law is binding upon the
railroads in the mandates enacted
when a national railroad strike was
threatened last summer.
The roads counsel insisted that the
law cannot be upheld upon any
theory and asked that Circuit Judge
Hooks decision declaring the law
void and enjoining it's enforcement be
upheld.

DANIELS WANTS
twelve MILLION
FOR MORE SHIPS
Facilities Must Be Enlarged for
Completion of Naval
Program.

Washington, Jan. 9--The naval
program authorized by Congress can
not be carried out with present ship
building facilities and government
yards must be equipped Immediately
for the construction of some of the
capital ships if the United States is
to regain it's former position as
naval power.
This was the gist of the statements
made by Secretary Daniels yesterday
when he urged Chairman Padgett of
the House committee to ask Congress
for $12,OOO,0OO with which to equip
government yards.
The department finds that the pri-
waite shipbuilders of the country are
unable, or unwilling, to undertake the
complete program with any assur-
ance Of speed in completion, even at
prices which the department regards
as unreasonably high.
The Program Hats.
1.-THE preparedness program halts
by reason Of this condition The
present situation demands that the
government largely increase it's
building facilities at the earliest-pos-
sible moment. Six million dollars
were authorized by the act of Aug.
20, 1916, for Improvement of our
navy yard plants, in order to enable
them ito assist in connection with the
program.
''Ships have been ordered built at
the navy yards fully up to the limit
of our present facilities there being
oil 6y CT 0r n
der at the navy yards 10 naval YES
sells Of various types. I recommend
that $12,00O,0O0 more be authorized
for atEng up navy yards, to be made
Immediately available.
Mr.. Daniels shows that it has been
impossible to get contracts for four
battle cruisers and three scout
cruisers. The prospect Of laying the
keels O.. these seven ships is no better
today than it was year ago.
The battle cruisers were Authorized
to cost $16,500,OO0. The lowest esti-
mate received was made on a per-
centage basis and aggregated $19,-
100000, but the company which fur
1nished this estimate could not guar
antee competition within the speci-
fed period.
"It seems to the department neces-
sary,' says Mr.. Daniels, that the
government building facilities should
be largely expanded, so that the navy
may be in position to build much
larger part of the program than at
present. This expansion, in view of
recent conditions, appears to be in
evitable and necessary. Should Con-
gress authorize it the department will
do it's utmost to fit up the yards at
the earliest possible moment
