Schlute Firm Refuses
to Settle Proceeding
Against Holman Store

Stating that since the sheriff did not
take possession of the storeroom at
22S Market street, occupied by the
Holman -Haeseler Company, clothiers,
the judgment entered against the local
firm will not be satisfied on the rec
ord, according to the answer filed by
d. a. Schultz, Incorporated, through
counsel.
The Schultz firm, controlling a
chain of retail cigar stores in the
country leased the Bergner Building,
in which the storeroom is located, and
then, it is claimed by local business
men, attempted to GUST the Holman
firm so that a cigar store could be
opened there in competition to the one
in the corner storeroom.
The Schultz firm admits in the
answer thta a. w. Holman, lessee of
the room at 22S Market street, ten
dered his November rent which was
refused, and that he in turn refused
to waive the right to enforce the
clause in his lease which would per-
nit him to extend it for five years
from March 81, 1919. The case will be
argued in the local court.
Counsel for Mr.. Holman, when
Judgment was entered against him al
leging his failure to comply with the
terms of the lease, secured rule from
the Court on the Schultz firm to have
them show why the judgment should
not be lifted and the sheriff not per-
mitted to take possession of the prop
erty, as attorneys for the Schultz con-
Germ had started proceedings to get
the storeroOm.

FORMER CROWN
PRINCE URGED
ARMY PROWESS
Utterances Before War Belle
Words Spoken After
Downfall

On his own record, the former
Crown Prince, notoriously the cham
pion of militarism long before the
war started: has at no time prior
to yesterdays interview given an in
dication of any change of heart or
OF any diminution of his faith in the
potency of Germany's mailed fist.
When the Berlin lokal Anzeiger
was collecting greetings from Ger
man war leaders to illumlne the first
wartime Christmas of the stay-at-
home Germans, the then Crown
Prince, with the smoke of the first
Marine scarcely lifted, sent back the
advice:
Keep cool, and stick to it."
Then He Planned Verdun
A little later he was planning the
adventure of Verdun. A dashing air
of confidence marked him at this
time, as the countless lines of Ger
man troops filed out to the sacrifice.
The dawn of 1916 found his public
attitude unchanged.
IF the new year brings a decision,
with the help of God" he then wrote
| III lAiS ANtN SStl SLCtllHSS W
men, then only one thought must
inspire us: Forward with God, for
the Emperor and Germany, toward
| great future"
When early in 1917 his father pro-
NOTED him to the full rank of gen.
eral, he was still keeping strictly to
| himself the realization that a contin-
uation of warfare could not save
| Germany. In another communica-
| tion to his troops, congratulating
| them on the circumstances of his
elevations, he said:
'I enter this fight with the firm
conviction that my army group will
vctoriously face every enemy attack
so that we shall all justify the con-
| fidence which his majesty and the
| Fatherland place in us, and will pass
! through the fighting, however heavy
it may be, with honor"
Not a great while later this young
man was generally given credit for
leading the opposition which ousted
Hollweg from the chan
cellorship after a section of the
military party had become persuaded
that the scrap of paper" man had
lost his old ruthlessness and that
some fiercer exponent of Kultur
should step into his shoes.
Always Harpcd OH Victory
|. The beginning of the present year
still found the Hohenzollern heir ap-
parently content to fight it out on
prevailing lines.
And even to the end, in his latest
public utterance in September-the
interview in which he jeered the
American soldiers for not knowing
for what they were fighting-the man
who was content to urge on a war
he to-day says he know was lost was
still, to all appearances, unshaken
in his old convictions.
1--WE speak openly of victory"
said he.

RESERVE UNIT
MUSTERED INTO
STATE SERVICE
Captain Batley's Truck Com
pany Accepted by Adiu-
tant General Beary

An important organization was
identified with Harrisburg and the
Pennsylvania Reserve Militia last
night when Adjutant General Beary
at the Armory mustered into service
the motor transport company, with
Captain r. G. Bailey as commander,
and Raymond G. Miller, first lieuten-
ant. The roster as given out to-day
contains the following men whose
homes for the most part are in Har-
risburg and vicinity:
From Harrisburg: Albert j. As
trich, Forrest Grundon. Forrest G.
Metzger, Kenneth r. Rineard, Oliver
b. Simmons, Charles NJ. Toomey,
Harry c. Webb; from Middletown:
George l.. Daley, Jr., John Wagner,

polls, Aubrey r. Todd; Cu@inbcrs-
burg, Lindsay "A. Wallace Oberlin,
Clarence IL. Wealand; Dauphin
county, Samuel r. Hoffman, making
in all twenty-four privates.
The headquarters eventually will
be the Arsenal. and meantime, any
communication will reach Captain
Bailey at his residence or by phone,
at 1927 Green street. The full quota
will include twenty-nine men.
The end of the war, instead of
causing any Indifference to strict
military training, has only inspired
this very efficient organization to
more zeal. and last evening Adjutant
General Beary, who was supple
mented by Captain w. J.. Hicks, of
the State Arsenal, highly compile
mented the men for their determi-
nation and good showing.
This unit will be kept very busy,
especially in camping days at Mt.
Gretna, and its twelve motor trucks,
one touring car and one motorcycle,
will be familiar sights buzzing about
on all sorts of missions as was
demonstrated in the late "nu" cpl
demic when they furnished quick aid
in stricken districts. Their drivers
worked as long as tifty-tw hours at
a stretch.
1t is belived that Pennsylvania is
the first state to attach this sort OF
unit to a brigade, and Captain Bat
ley proposes to bring his men to
high classification. Next Friday the
first drill will take place and the
schedule is elaborate and tense. All
HANDS will be drilled much like in
fantrymen, besides they will be
trained in first aid, hygiene and me-
chanics, including the repair and up
keep of vehicles

Heat and War Make Bulllhead
 lBullheadedish

Mir. and Mrs. Perry M. Williams have returned from a tour of the northern middle states of nearly three months. They visited in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and North Dakota, the eliminating event of the trip being a reunion of the sons of Mrs. Williams, the mother of Mr. Williams at her home at Poynette, Wisconsin. Sons came from all parts of the country even from far off Mississippi.
 Mr. Williams said that wherever he went he encountered unbearably hot, suffoeating weather, which made him long for Phoenix. Other wise his trip was an enjoyable one.
 He had had dreams of fishing for bulIhead. His brother living in North Dakota told him that the water was full of them and invited him out. The first day was without result as was the next forenoon. There was not even a bite but the confidence of his brother that the water was full of them was un- shaken by the reluctance of the fish to manifest themselves. It was supposed that somehow the sinister influence of the war which has been so widely felt had been thrown over those fish to make them more bull headed than usual.
