QUINN OUTFOR
STATE SENATE
Federation of Labor Head
Seems to Have Clear Field
for Democratic Nomination

Interest in the race for the Demo
cratic state senatorial nomination.
stirred yesterday to fever heat by the
announcement OF the candidacy OF Ar
thur A. Quinn of this city. conferred
today chiefly about conjecture on his
probable opponent at the primary
polls. The field of organization candi-
dates has narrowed down to such pro-
portions hat Quinn practically Is
alone.
Quinn workers were today busy cir
culating his petitions. Yesterday they
rounded up the Democratic delegates
from the county in session at The State
Federation of Labor here. Quinn,
himself, was too busy yesterday n
today. attending to his duties as presi-
dent of the federation. to make n
comment on his candidacy or discuss
his platform. He Is permitting his
friends to work for him In this
''cmergency."
The Quinn candidacy has placed the
so-calied Democratic organization In q
quandary. Quinn was an active anti
or~ganfzatioaist two years ago when he
opposed Senator w. E. Fforance for
the nomination. It was a bitter battle
Quinn's candidacy Is known to oppose
the desires Of some Democrats.
On the other hand Quinn's position
as state federation of labor head. the
active campaign he waged last time
and the seeming lack of opposing
candidates, appear to pave a clear way
to the nomination. One by one h
candidates who may be termed or
g~anization men, have eliminated them
selves. Former e~ssemblyman George
L. Burton of New Brunswick with
drew, but the big announcement
came with the withdrawal from con-
sideration of the name Of ex-Assem-
biyman John p. Kirkpatrick OF
Jamesburg. Quinn and Kirkpatrick
served together In the assembly and
were on the most friendly terms. 1T
is assumed that Quinn's determine
ton again to seek the nomination in
hnenced Kirkpatrick,s withdrawal.

Hundreds of boys from Harrisburg
and suburban towns have already re-
turned to their homes after receiving
their discharges from army camps.
The number is expected to grow
steadily. The announcement by the
War Department that more than 15,-
600 soldiers are being discharged
daily, and that this number will prob
ably be doubled in the near future
promises to bring many of the BOYS
to their home firesides for Christmas.
The rehabilitation from camps
cantonments and training schools
Las brought the khaki uniforms on
the streets of the city in great num-
bers. Many of the large stores ana
some of the smaller shops have taken
on a martial atmosphere by the ap-
pearance of uniformed men behind
counters. AS one customer remarked,
she was 80 glad of the opportunity
to buy something from that nice
soldier"
But the boys in khaki are to be
seen elsewhere than in the shops

has one or more of its returned boys

Soldiers Mother Has
Received No Pay Since
July |; Needs Money

Reports continue to be received Of
neglect of soldiers dependants by
careless officials at Washington. The
latest is from Mrs. Hester Mcclure,
Of 1880 Green street. Mrs. Mcclure
writes the Telegraph as follows:
My son, Samuel G.. ONeil, Eleven
Hundred and Third Aero Squad, en-
listed in May, 1917, and was sent to
France in August OF that year. Be

ment of $50 a mon j, later insuring

home soon / cannot give him a real
welcome"
The Telegraph has undertaken to
lay this case before the proper au-
thorities at Washington, hoping to re-
ceive some explanation for the delay
that will be helpful to the scores of
others who are in the same difficulty.
Mrs. Mcclure says that she has writ
ten repeatedly, but has received no
answer to her complaints.

Berlin, Dec. 17.-Several hundred
boys and girls paraded through the
streets of the city yesterday on their
way to the ReichstaE building, where
the Soldiers and Workmen's Con-
gress is being held. They demanded,
among other things, votes for per-
sons eighteen years of age, the
abolition of corporal punishment in
schools and the participation by chill
dren in the administration of the
government and schools. The march,
ers carried red flags and incendiary
plaCardS.
A soventeen-year-o lad made an
address warning the executive COM
mittee of terrible consequences"
if the juvenile program was not car
lied out. The chairman of the exc
cutive committee declared his SYM
pathy with the children's demands.
Later the procession gathered in
the square in front of the Reich
stag Building. where youthful ora
tors demanded the removal of Pre-
mier Ebert and 2hilipp Scheidemann
from office, opposed the convening
of the national assembly and threat
ened Il juvenile strike throughout
Germany if their demands were not
Immediately accepted.

BY associated Press

London, Dec. 17.-Friedrich Eb-
ert, Socialist premier of Germany,
declared in an interview yesterday
that he did not know of any legal
method by which William Hohen-
zollern's surrender could be forced.
Il cannot think of any provision
I'm law upon which the former en-
peror would have to be given up"
he said. But that is not a question
whih closely concerns us. We have
separated ourselves from him, and
now desire only that guilt for the
outbreak of the war should be finally
fixed in order that he may be eX-
posed, once for ALL"
AS to his view of the future, Ebert
said: Il am optimistic, but you must
remember that our influence upon
the course of events is limited. We
cannot create bread for the Ger
man people.
IF the nation is allowed to starve
then the inevitable will follow. That
a nation can be brought to a despe-
rate pass and burst through all re-
straints has been shown by the eX-
periences Of the past year.
Our old system came to the
ground as a result of Prussian events
which it, itself, provoked. 1t is poor
consolation, however, that in FAIL
ing, one drags ones enemy to the
ground. To us any other solution
would be preferable" ---

PLAIN WORDS
ON PROGRAM
Wilson Seeks to
Work Out His
Own Method
BY associated Press

Paris, Dec. 17.-After the confer
ences he has had in Paris and the
personal examination he has made
into the situation here, President
Wilson has come to understand fully
why the peace conference cannot get
under way before the first of the
year. The mere physical proposition
of getting the American mission to
the conference settled in it's officers
is a tremendous job.
Seeks Minds of Compatriots
President Wilson's visit to the
American troops at the front and
his review of them in Paris will be
out of the way by the first of the year
Meanwhile the informal conferences
which mean so much in laying the
ground work for the task before the
peace conference, will continue. The
President is seeking to get acquaint-
ed with the men with whom he is to
deal so that he may discuss with the
greatest freedom the problems
arising and develop the value of the
personal equation.
Plain Things to BE Said
From the Presidents viewpoint, it
is INDICATED, there are plain things
to be said and he wants to say them
and avoid antagonisms because,
despite all the points to be cleared
up and the wide divergence of opin-
ion which have been expressed as
representing public opinion in Eng
land and France, he is confident that
an acceptable agreement will be
