MAKE MOVE FOR
HARDSCRABBLE
APPEAL TRIALS
City Solicitor Planning to Have
Writs Issued Setting Down
Cases For Jury Action

First steps toward the settlement of
pending appeals from the awards of
viewers of Hardscrabble properties,
will probably be taken in Dauphin
county court next Monday, City Solicit
tor John +. Fox announced to-day.
Although a number of property
holders in the North Front street dis
trict are willing to give up possession
at the prices named in the viewers
report, City Solicitor Fox said he be-
lieved it would be inadvisable to take
only part of the property, as the
awards have not been confirmed ow-
ing to appeals.
If action is taken next Monday it
will be to have writs issued to set
down the cases in Common Pleas
Court for trial before a jury. This
may cause a delay of months, it was
pointed out, but will prevent any
further legal difficulties if jury YER
dict upholds the awards of the view
ers, and no appeal is then taken.
Whether Council has the right 10
issue bonds by increasing the public
debt, so as to make settlements with
several of the residents, is another
question which Solicitor Fox must de-
eide. 1t is not believed, however, that
settlements will be made before O
hearing and verdict on at least one of
the pending cases is made.

Washington. March 2O.-Further
steps to protect American lives and
property against the warlike operations
of German submarines are expected to
take some more definite form after to-
days cabinet meeting.
AS has been the case since all off,
cial Washington acknowledged that a
state Of war practically exists between
the United States and Germany, there
is a wide range of speculation on the
precise action President Wilson con-
templates, but there is no official
ground for any forecast.
Calling of Congress in extra session
before April 16, the day first chosen
for it's assembly, still continues among
the probabilities, but there are no in
dications that President Wilson has
finally decided upon it. On the other
hand there were some indications that
the date of the session would not be

POLITICAL CHANGE
in GERMANY IS THE
SOCIALIST DEMAND
Democracy Must Supplant
Prussianism Reichstag Leader
Says in Berlin Newspaper
NEED NEW GOVERNMENT
No Reason to Wait Until Wars
Close to Give People
Voice
By Associated Press

Berlin, Monday. March 19, via Lon
don, March 20.-Philipp Scheidmann,
Socialist leader in the Reichstag, says
in the Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts:
1T does not require many words to
explain why almost the whole world
is arrayed against us. The answer
is given quickly. The whole world
sees among our enemies more or less
developed forms of democracy, and
in us it sees only Prussians.
I'VE have always answered by re-
ferring to the absolution of Russia,
but now czarism has gone and the
Emperor's successor is to accept the
throne only if the representatives of
the people agree. These representa-
tives are to be elected on the
basis of universal, equal, direct and
secret suffrage.
In Asia the empire of the Man
darins opposed every reform. They
desired an emperor with absolute
power, as long as he did their will
and thereby undermined the mon
archy and laid the foundation of a
republic.
"In the European central empire
similar spirits seek to build similar
Chinese walls and hinder every re-
form. The clock shows five minutes
to twelve. They imagine they hold
up the time when they move back
the hands to eleven.
why does the chancellor shrink
back now from unconditional neces-
sity? Always the hesitator the pro-
crastinator, Bethmann-H Hollweg wants
to begin to cure Prussia after the war.
Russia also promised all reforms af-
ter the war but the war lasted too
long for the Russians. Why postpone
till tomorrow what is absolutely nec-
essary to-day, what even the king
himself declared years ago, was one
of the most urgent matters of the
business of the state? Now is the
time for decisive action. The diff
culties which might arise If the gov
ernment adopts the Reichstag system
of elections for Prussia and the full
est assurance that it furnishes the
preliminary to new German sue

To Enlist Women For
Active Service in
Navy if War Comes
Bv IfSSocintcd prcrr

Washington, ID. c., March 2O.-Sec-
retary Daniels to-day ordered naval
commandants at shore stations and
all recruiting offices to be prepared to
enlist women in the actual naval serv-
ice IN case of an emergency. While it
is not intended to place women aboard
ships, they may be utilized for shore
duty in connection with coast defense
work.
Grades corresponding to the yeo-
man class will be given to those quail
fying as stenographers, clerks, typists
or similar positions. Training in
camps, number of which have been
organized under the auspices of the
Navy League. also will be recognized
by navy officials as n factor in choos-
ing the women recruits. Another grade
of work for which they may be desig-
mated is that of radio telegraphy and
other communication divisions.

Want More Authoritative
Reports of Men in County
Available For War Service

County Commissioners are consider
ing plans for a more complete report
on men in Dauphin county who will
be available for military service should
a call be issued by the government.
Assessors lists for 1916 showed that
there are 25.16S men between the
ages of 21 and 45 years who could be
called to the colors.
County Commissioners believe how
ever, that this list is exaggerated and
contains tn epames of number who
would be exempt because of physical
disability. 1t is planned when lists
are made again in September to have
more complete information gathered
by assessors, including names of those
ranging in age from Is to 45 years.

The British are advancing more
slowly than the French. but nothing
either in the official reports from
Paris or London, or in the unofficial
stories of newspaper correspondents at
the front, indicates that either army
has yet come in contact with the main
German forces. The theory that the
Germans propose to halt their retreat
on the Hindenburg line has been put
forward by military critics in the allied
capitals, but there has been no indica-
ton from Berlin of the plans of the
German general staff and the purpose
and meaning of the dramatic retreat
of the invaders of France remain
clothed in considerable mystery.
