CENTRAL NEEDS
TROPHY CASE
Prize Cups Won by Crack
Athletic Organizations Not
on Display

Stored away in the Central High
school building are more than twen-
ty beautiful prize cups which have
been brought to this city by high
school championship teams in foot
ball, basketball, track and debating,
which have rarely been seen by
either students or the public.
1t is time these trophies were put
on view to serve as living reminder
of the prowess of Harrisburg ath-
letes, the Centralian Society, COM
posed of boys in the junior class
thing, and they have accordingly
started a campaign TO raise a fund
to provide a suitable trophy case to
be placed in the corridor of the high
school,
The cost of the trophy case, which
will be made of either solid oak or
mahogany, is estimated at $3.50, and
it is planned to appeal to the gene
rosity of the high school alumni and
civic organizations to help finance
the project. The case will have a
brass plate on which will be engrav-
ed the names of contributors to the
fund.
The trophy fund committee con-
sists of these members of the Gen.
tralian Society: Seymour Nissley,
William l.. Kay, Thomas Caldwell
and Noble Frank.
The committee hopes that the tro-
ply case will be ready by June Is.

Twenty Men to Drive
Forty Republic Trucks

To take a large crew of men to
the factory, if you're an automobile
distributor, and drive home a fleet of
the cars you represent, seems to ne
quite the thing during these days OF
freightcar shortages. Next week /. w.
Dill and M. *. Thomson, of the Penn
Mar Motor Car Co., with twenty men,
will leave here for Alma. Mich, the
home of the Republic Truck. There.
they will receive a consignment of
forty Republic Trucks, which will be
driven overland to Harrisburg.
When the freight car shortage be-
came acute, many dealers were pinch
ed. Little difficulty was experienced
in selling cars but it has been prac-
tically impossible to make deliveries.
Now distributors and dealers have
hit upon the plan of going to the fac
tory. getting their cars and driving
home. In this incident; however, the
Republic boys are going one better.
Twenty men for forty trucks is al
most, if indeed, not altogether, rec
ord, and some discussion was caused
in local automobile circles as to how
it was going to be done. Finally, Mr.
Dill confided in a representative of
the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH that
twenty of the trucks would be loaded
on the other twenty and brought
overland to be put into service in this
territory.

Railroads Asking
For Speedy Action

Petitions have been filed with the
Public Service Commission by rail-
roads of the State asking that the
rules controlling the construction of
supplements to tariffs eb modified in
accordance with the authority
granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the filing of the pro-
posed increases in rates on the basis
of fifteen per cent. above the rates
now in effect. 1t is stated that such
a change would mean a saving of
many thousands of dollars in print
ing bills and also a delay of from
three to six months before tariffs can
be properly prepared. The Commits
sion will hear the petitioners on
Monday afternoon.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture announced to-day that it had
reached an agreement with the rail-
roads whereby shipments of agricul-
tural machinery and seeds will be
given preference during the spring
plowing and planting season. I'm

Food and Financial
Problems Taken Up by
British and French

Washington, April 2S. - American
of1cials to-day met members of the
British and French commissions in
the second days series of conferences
devoted entirely to discussing and de-
c!ding definite problems of the war
without the preliminary grouping aft
er bases of mutual understanding.
The, day promised to develop rapid
progress in the solution of what the
United States is to do to aid the
allied nations most efficiently in beat
ing Germany
The morning was devoted to busi-
ness talks among Americans, British
and French. behind closed doors at
number of government departments,
with various experts paired off to
work over particular phases assigned
to each.
Food and financial problems loomed
large as the conferences progressed
and the former is dependent largely
on Americas ability to supply ships
to keep stream of supplies moving
from this country to Europe. In this
connection Germany's recent increas-
ing effectiveness with her submarine
blockade was given serious consider
alton, particularly by Foreign Min
lister Balfour and the other British
commissioners.

PROHIBITION IS
WAR NECESSITY

Reason

tional prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of liquor as a war measure
will be urged upon President Wilson
by an partisan committee, repre-
senting every shade of political be-
lief. which will assemble in Wash
ington next Monday.
A conference of Governors has been
called by Governor Nathaniel h. Har-
ris, of Georgia, to meet here on the
same date to discuss plans for car
rying the fight before Congress and
Jetitioning for the enactment of dry
Legislation. Acceptances already re-
ceived indicate that many State Ex-
ecutives will be on hand. 1t is prob
able that some who are not convinced
the legislation would be wise will also
attend.
The urgent need for the increased
production of food supplies and for
conservating the food and grain al
ready produced, is urged by the lead
ers in this movement as a compelling
reason for legislation to prevent the
diversion of food material into the
manufacture of intoXicanting liquors
which will lower national efficiency

MOTHERS DAY
SET FOR MAY Is
Governor Brumbaugh Issues
Proclamation Designating
Day to Observe

May 13 was to-day officially de-
signated by Governor Brumbaugh
rs Mothers Day." The Governor
issued a proclamation calling upon
the people of the Commonwealth to
remember their mothers on that
day and paying a tribute to the
women of Pennsylvania.
The Governors proclamation was
as follows:
"Mothers of Men, Guardians of
Homes, Moral Guides of the Nation
YOU, the givers of all that is sweet
est, purest and noblest in life, 1 greet
and salute. Fitting indeed it is to
sanctify ourselves on May 13 by
reverent regard and tenderest
thought of Mother. If she is here
still be thankful and pay her the
respect her exalted station warrants
and merits. If she be not here may
our thoughts and our pure love
climb the angel-trod stairs to her
abiding home, that she of the Choir
Invisible may sing with Min the glad
song of a mother beloved and re-
membered.
'Nay all of us be drawn on this
day to our loved ones and in their
midst let us place our dear mothers
and thank God for what they have
done for us, for our Country, for the
Lords Kingdom"

SMASHING ATTACK

lSOntlnucu from f1fSU rage.
they can successfully cope within
the northern section of the great
battlefield, sthe French are keeping
up a heavy artillery fire south from
st. Quentin all around the curve in
the line into the Champagne.
The French seemingly have COM
pleted the count of the prisoners
and booty taken in the recent fight
ing on these fronts. They captured
175 cannon of all calibers, 412
machine guns and 119 trench guns.
The prisoners total 20,7S0.
Berlin Frantic
There are many signs that the
fighting will shortly be resumed on
more terrific scale than ever be-
fore and not least of these omens
are the frantic appeals and threats
being made by the German leaders
and press to avert the menace of
/ a general strike throughout Ger
many. All the far-reaching power
of the German cenship is unable to
suppress the fact that the gravest
discomfort is seething in the ranks
of the German workers and that
the government is haunted by the
fear that May day. the great in
ternational Socialist holiday, may see
whole imperial fabric.
Strike Fever Spreads
That the general strike planned by
the Socialist radicals is not confined
to Germany, but includes Austria
Hungary as well, is indicated by one
of the rare dispatches which have
come through from Vienna. The
Arbeiter Zeitung, organ of the Aus
trian Socialists, accepts it as granted
that a strike will occur throughout
the dual monarchy on May l and
urges the workers to limit the dem
onstration to that day and return to
work on May 2.
The situation in Germany appears
to be that the empire is divided into
three great factions, with the feeling
between the three growing rapidly in
bitterness. First comes the old
junker class, which still talks of o
victorious war ending in anneXations
and indemnities; second is the So
cialist majority which is eXerting all
its influence to force the government
into a declaration that it desires
neither the money nor the land of
Germanys foes; the third party is
headed by the radical Socialists and
includes an unknown but apparently
considerable body of the workers,
sick of the war, disheartened by the
diminishing food rations and de-
manding that peace be obtained at
once, whatever the cost. The only
point in common between the three
parties seems to be to make Chan
Cellor Won Bethmann-Hollw the
target of all their shafts.
