WANT ALL CHESTNUT VENDORS
CONCENTRATED AT NEW HOTEL

The Sons of Rest this morning
adopted a resolution directed to the
Chief of Police asking that all the
chestnut vendors in Harrisburg be
compelled to confine their activities
to the Penn-Harris corner. Third and
Walnut. The one solitary vendor at
that point has good charcoal fire,
but the brazier is so small that only
two Sons of Rest can huddle over
it at one time; and the vendor says
they hide the chestnuts.
Work proceeded apace on the
Penn-Harris this morning. The Sons
of Rest who are riding herd on this
job are well pleased with everything.
1t is true that the inspectors are
troubled slightly with stiff necks,
from looking upward so much, but
arrangements will be completed
shortly whereby the roof of one of
the buildings in Third street will be
available for watchers.

Germany Is Putting
1913 Soldiers in Field
For Cost of One Here

Washington. Nov. S.-Germany is
putting 14.S soldiers into the field
for the same amount of money
which the United States is paving
for a single fighting man, according
to calculations to-day of government
experts. They said the same general
proportion was true also of main
tanning the armies in the field or in
other words. America must raise
$14.30 where the enemy nations
raise only 81 for the purpose of car
rying on the war.
The difference was said to be due
to the higher pay of United States
soldiers and the greater cost of sup
plies in this country, and the con-
trast was used as a text for admon-
itions that resources alone would not
win the war. but that strict economy
was necessary.

There was no decision. The first toss

still demurring at the time the Tele-
