Washlnaton's Two Birthdays.

In 1882 Pope Gregory XIII ordered
that all the Catholic countries should
adopt new calendar. This calendar
was correct and IS at the present
time in general use throughout the
world. In the year that the calendar
was adopted ten days were dropped.
Thus the day after October 4 of the
Julian calendar became October 10 In
the Gregorian. This calendar was not
adopted by England until 1852. Wash
ington being born in 1882, he was
twenty years old at the time the new
calendar was adopted. Thus his first
70 birthdays fell on the 18th of Feb
ruary and the others fell on the 22nd.

Fewer Fire Alarms
In Los Angeles City

Los Angeles, Cal. June 27.-F1re

rapidly. oficials say, because of q fire

duced from $4,000 in 1914 to
$272,000 in 1917.
In Los Angeles during the six
weeks preceding June /, the fre
alarms totaled $50, which was 217
fewer than in the corresponding six
weeks Of 1917.
Those in charge Of the campaign
took. as their slogan, Put the Are
out before 1t starts" and presented It
in educational manner at banQuets,
public gatherings in general and be-
fore 100000 school children.
In addition, a systematic inspection
Of buildings was>inaugurated with the
result that 1859 alleged violations Of
the fire ordnance wore reported and
one arrest was made for rson.

Sir Robert Kindersley, chairman Of
tho National War Savings association,
stated that It IL Remarkably" that
there are 1s,7b0,000 holders Of British
war securities and more than 49,
100000 accounts In savings banks.
1T may be safely alleged, not only
that saving has boon commenced by
many millions who before the war
never saved, but that there 10 every
evidence that the effort Of these sav-
ers increases In intensity % the war
.proceeds."E
This situation is ascribed to the
fact that Thousands are receiving
moro pay than ever and thousands Of
women who prior to the war earned
nothing E now engaged in remun-
erative var work. Also tho incentive
to spend money has been removed to
a certain extent by the regulation Of

ALLIED NATIONS
DISCUSS SPEEDY
HELP FOR RUSSIA
Time Considered Ripe For
Action to Relieve Slavs
From Hun Oppression

Washington, D. c., June 2S.-Rus-
sia is occupying a position of DOM
inant importance in conferences this
week between the Washington gov
ernment and representatives of Great
Britain, France and Italy. Definite
proposals discussed have resulted
from close study President Wilson
has given reports received by the
State Department from American
agents stationed near the scenes of
greatest disorder in the great Slav
nation and to the innumerable sug-
gestions presented to the President
by representative Russians in the
United States.
President Wilson has not altered
his belief that no effective interven-
ton in Russian affairs can be un-
dertaken without the full under
standing and free consent of the
Russian people themselves.
Exactly what form American and
allied assistance to Russia will take
has not yet been decided, insofar as
military operations are concerned. 1t
is realized that the landing of for
eign soldiers in Russia without a
thoroughly worked-out agreement
might have bad effect on the very
large element of the Russian people
unfamiliar with the plans that are
being formulated in their interests.
One important proposal, which
has the approval of President Will
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-06-28

son and his advisers. is to send a
large number of Russian-American
to various sections of Russia for the
purpose of making clear the desire
of the United States to assist the
reclamation of Russia from chaos
and tyranny.
1t is realized, however, that such
assistance can be merely a prelim-
mary to active military operations in
the country now being overrun by
the Germans. State Department re-
ports indicate, however, that Rus
sia is making determined efforts to
assemble and organize elements of
her fighting strength in Siberia and
elsewhere for an effective defense
against further Teuton aggressions.
If these efforts are successful. allied
assistance will be promptly provided.
1t will take the form, at first, of
swift supplies of war munitions. La
ter, if Russia makes the request, al
lied troops will be sent to join the
Russian ranks in a common offensive
against the German and Austrian
eastern front.
