OFFICIALS VISIT
STATE CAMP SITE
Plan For Prompt Service in
the Event Troops Are
Called Out

Plans are being worked out by the
Pennsylvania Railroad officials to take
care of troops that may be sent to
Mt. Gretna for mobilization. An in
spection of the campsite and railroad
facilities was made yesterday by GEN
eral Superintendent George w. Creigh
ton and party.
Other officials included Superintend-
ent William B. McCaleb, of the Phila-
delphia division. with his several heads
of the transportation department, and
superintendent n. ID. Smith, of the
Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad. The
railroad officials remained at Mt. Gret-
ma until o'clock in the afternoon,
when they returned to Harrisburg.
Officials VIII Not Talk
No official statement was made as
to the real purpose of yesterdays in
speGtion. 1t is said an early call for
troebs is contemplated and the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company wants to
be in readiness for prompt service
when the troops report for mobiliza-
tlon.
Railroad officials yesterday went over
the Mt. Gretna grounds from ColebroolS
to Mt. Gretna. 1t is said more tracks
and sidlngs will be necessary. 1t is
probable that the yards at Conewago
will be widened and that an additional
track may be put down between Con-
ewago and Mt. Gretna. Following the
visit to the campsite the officials went
to Lebanon. stopping at several points
enroute.

RUSSIAN LEADERS
VOTE TO ORGANIZE
[Continued From First Pagel


new regime in Russia was expressed
Today by Foreign Secretary Milukoff
n statement to the Associated Press.
'The old regime was heavy drag
not only on Russia's relations with
her allies, but on all foreign rela-
;ions," he said. Thousands of tele-
srams of congratulations and good
wishes are coming from the United
States, not to speak of the formal
recognition of the provisional govern
ment by the Washington government.
This has served to show that it is -
the old regime which has been stand
ing for long time in the way of
entire solidarity between the United
States and Russia.
Professor Milukoff emphasized par
ucularly his satisfaction at the atti-
tude of the American Ambassador,
David r. Francis, towards the politi-
cal change in Russia. He said that
the extent to which the new Russian
government had won the sympathies
of the American public was indicated
by telegram he had received from
Jacob II. Schiff, of New York, who
was long opposed to the Russian auto
cracy, wishing success for the new
government in it's task.
There is no doubt" he continued,
that the addition of Russia to the
ranks of the modern democratic coun-
tries will strengthen the adhesion of
the United States to the cause of the
allies. Free countries may have con-
fidence in Russia, especially as we
now find all free countries, allied for
the same aims"

SENATOR ELY BELIEVES


SENATOR ELY, of Kennett, Mo-,
referring to the mass meeting that
had been talked of in Kunklin county
to discuss the attitude Of our Senators
and Congressman toward President
Woodrow Wilson and his war policies,
in an interview published in the St.
things said:
"Some other leading Democrats,
among them Festus J. Wade, of st.
Louis, asked that we limit our reso-
lutions to the approval of the Presi-
dents course and say nothing about
Stone and Reed. Of course it was
obvious to the friends of the Sena-
tors that we should not approve the
action Of President Wilson and also
the action Of the two Senators.
Ely also commented upon the letter
sem him by Senator Stone with the
request that it be read before the
mass meeting in case it was held. In
this letter Senator Stone said referr-
ing to the meeting:
at can lead to great harm; it can
do no possible good. 1t is q bad
time to provoke bad blood within
the party. Of course, the Post-Dis-
patch, the Kansas City Star and 9TH
er papers, as well as some violent
and thoughtless people, would be
rejoiced to see such a quarrel in our
party and will do whatever they can
to foment it. But next year when
we come to elect a State ticket, a con-
gressional ticket. a legislative ticket.
and county tickets in the closer and
more doubtful counties, it is plain
we will have no strength TO frittel
