Birmingham, Ala, May 7.-One hun
dred and fifty white-robed men, In
Ku KluX Klan uniform. carrying an
American flag and a fiery cross al
the head of the procession. rode
through the streets of Birmingham

The riders distributed cards saying
the United States is at war; that ev-

cards say in part:
IF you would be justly entitled to
the liberation and protection you are
enjoying. find work to do and do IL.
No able-bodied man. rich or poor,
has a right to consume without pro-
ducing. Take heed and go to work.

Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn, who has
returned to Harrisburg to give a six
days demonstration of war cookery,
under the auspices of the Telegraph,
gave her initial lecture and demon
stration yesterday afternoon at
Fahnestock Hall, Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing to an audience of women that
well filled the main auditorium and
that received her address with en-
thusiasm and watched her demon
stration with great interest and
profit.
Mrs. Vaughn was introduced to the
audience by Mrs. John w. Reilly,
local chairman of the Council of Ma
tional Defense. who graciously re-
ferred to the enterprise of the Tele-
graph in bringing Mrs. Vaughn here
at such a propitious time.
Warmly Greeted
Mrs. Vaughn was warmly greeted
by the women who heard her on the
occasion of her last appearance here
and by many new friends as well.
Mrs. Vaughn wears the shield of the
council as we'll as other insignia OF
national significance. She is accom-
panied in her work by Miss Vivien
Kieffer, of Lancaster.
Unlike many speakers on house
hold economics. Mrs. Vaughn makes
a point wherever she goes of giving
straight from the shoulder patriotic
talks. In fact her teaching through
out the demonstration bears constant
reference to the war and the work
that women must do to win 1t. she
thrilled her audience yesterday aft
ernoon with the thought that for the
first time in the history of our nation
the government of the United States
has been obliged to rely upon its
woman-power, as second only to its
man-power and hardly of less i'm
portance in the present world crisis
Then she told how this woman-power
must be modified for service eX-
pected of it and from that went
quietly and logically into a demon
stration of ways and means, which
was of the most practical value. She
took occasion to mention the activity
of the food conservation workers
here which is evidenced by the fact
that the local grocery stores are
stocked with various kinds of flour
substitutes, also by the great number
of food cards that are displayed in
the windows of the homes through
out the city.
Real War Bread
Mrs. Vaughn's first demonstration
yesterday afternoon was war bread
which she made using no wheat
-four. She used one cup of potato
flour, one cup of cornmeal, one cup
of buckwheat flour and one cup OF

AMERICAN ARMY :
IS ARRIVING IN
FORCE AT FRONT
Yankees Hurrying to Take
Their Places in Battle,
Says Clemenceau
FRENCH ARE CONFIDENT
Hun Hordes Are Being Held
in Check by Allied
Armies
By Associated Press

Paris, May 7. - American
troops are continuing to arrive
on the front in force, Premier
Clemenceau told Marcel Hutin,
editor of the Echo De Paris, on
returning to-day from a two
days visit to the front area.
The premier brought back, he
said a feeling of confidence in
the invincibility of the entente
forces.
Germany's hordes are still held in
check. Neither in Flanders nor in
Picardy nor along the important Ar
ras sector has the enemy renewed
his attacks in force and he has not
reacted against the gain made north
of the Somme by the Australians in
which more than 200 prisoners were
captured.
On both battlefronts, however, the
artillery fire has been most intense
and the German attack cannot much
longer be delayed if the enemy
hopes to take advantage of what
ever damage has been done to the
allied positions by the heavy bonn
bardments carried out by his guns
since the repulse north of Mont
KENNEL more than a week ago. The
greatest German artillery activity
has been on the northern half of the
Flanders front and south of the
Somme to below the Avre in Picardy.
Americans Await Attack
American troops in their positions
south of the Somme have been sub
jected to intense artillery fire, the
enemy using more than $4,000
shells, mostly gas, in a short period.
There have been no signs of a Ger
man infantry attack against the
Americans who confidently await
the first signs of reawakened activ-
ity.
A large part of the southern end
of the important Arras sector has
been taken over by Canadian troops,
who also are being visited by a
storm of German shells. French
generals believe the Germans may
attack simultaneously on the Elan
ders, Arras and Amiens fronts in
an effort to push the allies back in
one mighty blow. The hill positions,
however, are held by the allies and
their guns dominate the Germans
AL along the line.
Hold Up Austrian Blow
The Austro-HungaTan blow
against the Italian front has not de-
Veloped. Rome reports only mod
crate artillery fire along most of the
front from Switzerland to the Adri-
attic and no infantry activity. The
Austrians, however, may be waiting
for the most favorable moment,
probably the renewal of the German
drive in France.
To-day, May Z, is the third ami
versary of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania by a German submarine with
the loss of 1915 lives.

Topping Over Soup Kettle

Dorothy Kahn. the 3-year-old
daughter of David Kahn, 1871 North
Seventh street, is in the Harrisburg
Hospital, seriously scalded about the
body as the result of an accident at
her home yesterday.
The little girl was playing in the
kitchen during her mothers absence
and pulled over a kettle of soup
which was boiling on the stove. The
boiling liquid poured over her cloth
ing, scalding her seriously. The
screams of the little girl aroused the
mother. who sent for the hospital

Then she sent around some mint jelly

BIG DEMAND FOR
ICE IS RESULT
OF HEAT WAVE
Price List For Summer An
nounced; Hard to Move
Natural Product

The warm weather of yesterday
and to-day caused the consumption
of hundreds of ,ons of ice in the city
and vicinity. This ice, according to
the statement of the officials of the
United Ice and Coal Company which
delivered 100 tons of ice in the city
yesterday, and perha ps more to-day,
is being sold at the same prices as
last year. This is in spite of the
high cost of materials and labor, and
the difficulty of securing ammonia
for artificial ice.
The United Ice and Coal Company
has been able to secure a supply of
ammonia to keep its artificial ice
plants in the city running daily with
an output of 105 tons per day. Much
of the ice sold and consumed in the
city during the present hot spell is
artificial.
Owing to the car shortage on the
railroad, the general manager of the
United Ice and Coal Company an
nounced to-day that it has been un-
usually difficult to secure a supply of
natural ice in the city. The COM
pany stored great quantities of the
natural product during the winter,
but is beginning to anticipate diff
Guilty in getting it to the city over the
railroads. The shortage of cars is
the only eXigency which can cause a
scarcity OF ice here this summer with
accompanying soaring prices, it was
said this morning.
The prices of ice as announced this
morning are:
Per twenty pounds ..... $40
Per hundred pounds ...... AS
Per fifty pounds ........... .25
When the customer delivers the
ice himself, per hundred
pounds ............ 80
Per fifty pounds, delivered by
the customer ........ Is
BY lots of at least 200 pounds,
per 100 pounds ......... .35
BY more than two ton lots, per
ton .................. 500
1t was announced some time ago
that the only increase in price for
ice this summer will be when II is
sold in large quantities. These in
creases have not been announced as
yet.
