Dick 0. Allday, Charged
With DislOyalty, May Not
Be Brought to Trial

Tt is probable the case of Dick o.
Allday, of Chambersburg, charged
with having made seditious remarks,
will be dropped by the Department
of Justice. Federal officials have
stated that, since the war is over,
the government is dropping many
cases of this nature. Allday is a real
estate operator living in Chambers
burg. He was a recent car didate for
Congress in the Seventeenth district
and his arrest caused considerable
excitement in Chambersburg.
In Federal court yesterday Franz
Schwartz, Lebanon, was given a SEN
tence of thirty months in the Eastern
penitentiary at Baltimore on the
charge of making threats against
the President. Schwartz, it was tes-
titled, was born in Germany. Despite
tn fact that he has lived in this
country for twenty-siX years he has
never been naturaliZed.
The civil case of Victor E. Le-
Barre, Perth Amboy, n. J., against
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way Company, is occupying the pres-
ent attention of the court. The case,
an action in trespass opened yester-
day afternoon. The plaintiff alleges
that although passing train did not
hit his automobile, it scraped the
sides, thus demolishing the car and
killing his wife. The case is bristling
with technicalities and it is possible
that it will last for some time.

THE RED CROSS
BY James Henry Darlington,
Bishop Episcopal Diocese of
Harrisburg

No words of mine are needed
to impress upon the people of
Pennsylvania and Delaware the
necessity for the continuation of
their hitherto generous support
of the Red Cross. With the in
fiuence still prevailing in France
and England, and in many camps
in this country-with the danger
from pneumonia and many other
illnesses from exposure to win
ter's cold and damp, our soldiers,
sailors and aviators will need con-
slant and skilled care if they are
to return to us in good health by
spring and summer.
Many of our wounded are still
to be nursed back to vigorous
health; and the adjustment to new
conditions. to various climes and
the perils' incident to travel by
land and sea will require great
care and attention; while those of
our men who are in northern
Russia are subjected to the cold
of the Arctic circle, and the war
fare not yet ended brings con-
tinual risks and dangers which
will not cease for some time to
come.
With two brothers and three
sons in the service abroad / know
what this means.
1 trust that in the Christmas
rollcall pennsylvania will make
its membership unanimous.

STEEL MEN FAVOR
REDUCING PRICES
OPENING OF YEAR
Chairman Gary Opposes Re
duction of Scale of
Wages Yet

New York, Dec. 10.-A moderate
reduction in the scale of maximum
prices for steel. beginning on January
1. is favored by the general commit
tee on steel and steel products of the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
which meets with the War Industries
Board on Wednesday.
This was announced by Elbert H.
meeting here of steel manufacturers
yesterday. with the recommendation
that the question be referred to the
committee with power, which was
done.
No Reduction of Wage Scales
Mr. Gary opposed any effort to re-
ing that while labor is receiving high
er compensation than ever before, the
rates are no higher than are proper
and just" in view of the cost of liv-
ing.
Perhaps the most satisfactory way
of reducing "the present basis of
general prices that are abnormal"
Mr.. Gary said, would be the making
of simultaneous reductions "in every
direction" but this, he declared,
would be impractical.
He urged, therefore, that the steel
industry as the barometer of trade"
begin reductions in prices, even at
the cost of sacrifice. Such a course,
he declared, would result in price
reductions by persons buying steel,
and so on down the line" until
staple business basis was reached.
Fair Treatment Reciprocal
"If the worllmen are treated fairly
and literally" he said, they will
stand and contend for fair treatment
of the employer.
"You have a chance to do some
thing valuable toward sustaining the
business equilibrium of the country.
While some might suffer losses at
present. perhaps it would prevent
greater losses in the future. We
would be leaders in a movement cal
culated methodically to readjust con-
ditions in an orderly way. We might
have some influence on steadying
business generally, and, remember,
this question than any others, for
labor constitutes the greater part of
the cost of production, from the raw
material down to the finished product
and its use by the consumer.
"Our employees must continue to be
treated literally with respect to their
compensation and general welfare.
We will continue to show them that
it is our intention to consider its
merits, and to treat them as asso-
ciates and valuable assistants in our
work.
There is no ground for believing,
as sometimes limited, that the workers
of this country are desirous of con-
trolling the methods of production or
They know they could
not be successful in the experiment"
Mr.. Gary predicted that, if business
is fair to It's employees, it's customers
and its competitors, the next five
years will be the most progressive,
prosperous and successful in our his
tory"

Red Cross Memberships
IN Pack of Santa Claus
Suggested as Boosters

Many expedients have been put
into use to boost the Red Cross
membership as much as possible
during the campaign which will be
held December 16 to 23. Among
other means of swelling the lists
Red Cross memberships as Christ
mas gifts have been suggested. But
it has remained for the Colonial
Country Club to inaugurate very
unique way of benefitting the or
ganization and securing new mem
bers.
Next Tuesday night, the monthly
card night of the Colonial Club, the
usual prizes for women and
men will consist of memberships to
the American Red Cross Society. Six
prizes will be given three for women
and three for men, which will In
reality be six Red Cross buttons en-
titling the winners to membership
in the society. The committee on
entertainment for the card night are

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces, of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning. most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drugstore. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.

Trip of 1909 Miles

II. L. Lark. an attorney residing at

November 80. after an auto trip of
1903 miles. He will remain there un-
til next May In an interesting letter
written to Deputy Prothonotary Henry

of the trip We're over the worst roads
he ever travelled. mostly in South
Carolina and Georgia. One day, in
driving twelve hours. he only covered
104 miles, from Doric. Ca, to Jackson
VILE, Fla. He said that the reason for
the poor roads in the two Southern
states is the shortage of convict labor
in recent months. due to the prohibit
tion legislation now in effect, and the
big decrease in crime.
The best roads, Mr.. Lark said. are
from oxford, Pa. along the Eastern

Shall We Hate Germans?

Well that depends upon your
definition of hate. Do you nate
the blood sucking tiger that kills
your child?
Do you hate the rattlesnake
that strikes its fangs into your
wife?
Do you hate the murderer who
kills your mother and the brute
who outrages your daughter?
Is it hate that prompts you to
kill such fiends in defense of your
loved ones, or is it merely a de-
termination to rid the world of
them, knowing that in doing so
you are protecting all humanity?
Germany embodies the blood
IL ,of the tiger, the deadly fangs
OF the rattlesnake, the cruelty OF
the murderer and the beastly
nature Of the outrager- and in
to this war it has thrown all of
these powers, guided by science
prostituted to such vile ends.
Christ prayed for those who
crucifed Him, saying, they
know not what they d." but
the Germans know full we'll ex-
actly what they are doing. They
gloried in preparing for war, they
gloried in its atrocities, and no
one can ever pray for them on
the ground that they did not
know what they were doing, Any
prayer for them must be on some
