Herr Haase Bitter in
Reichstag War Speech

Amsterdam, June %. - The speech
of Herr Haase. in the Reichstag, is
given in the semiofficial Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitunger. Its version OF
the speech is assfollows:
Doctor Helfferich and Admiral Won
Capelle told us in 1917 that the Unit
ed States would be unable to take any
further part in the war and that its
military Importance was nil. To-day
til ere are 700, 600 Americans on French
soil and nothing has been heard OF
any U-boat booty in the shape OF
American transports. The speeches of
Count Won westarp and Herr Stresse-
mann regarding American powerless-
ness must therefore be taken with
the greatest mistrust.
Herr Haase went on with bitter
attack on the German military rulers
for their method of conducting the
war, which was alternating the friend
ship of the whole world" He said
their methods were making decent
peace Impossible and that the German
people must take matters into their
own hands.

AUTO DEALERS
PROMISE FULL
AID TO NATION
Plan to Eliminate All Possible
Services in Great Econ
omy Campaign

The elimination of night service
and Sunday mechanical service, the
elimination of clerical work by do
ing business on a cash basis and the
elimination of waste by means of
halting unnecessary demonstration
expenses are the war economy regu-
lations of the Commercial Economy
Board of the Council of National
Defense, which were endorsed by the
Harrisburg Motor Dealers Association
last evening at their meeting in the
Board of Trade Hall.
The rules were explained by F. w.
A. Vesper. st. Louis, president of the
National Auto Dealers Association,
and E. f. Peake. Kansas City. secre-
tary of the association. Mr.. Vesper
in explaining the rules declared that
the public would soon become ac-
customed to giving up its usual
service and adapt itself to the new
conditions. He declared that the
rules were suggested by the War
Service Board as a means by which
each motorist and driver could do his
part toward winning the war.
Declaring that the need of drivers
and mechanics for the Government is
great, Mr.. Vesper said that the Ma
tional Motor Dealers Association fur
nished $4,000 mechanics and will
furnish total of $4,000 before the
war is ended. The number pledged
by the association was $1,000.
Relense Mechanics
1t is thought that by the elimina-
ton of unnecessary repair work
many mechanics can be released for
war service. An effort to make the
owner do his own minor repairs was
suggested. Sunday and night work,
except on essential cars. would do
much to release mechanics for war
work, the speaker said. A class to
instruct owners in making repairs
was suggested. BY the elimination
of unnecessary demonstration ex-
penses much oil, grease and gasoline
could be saved, the speaker said.
Mr.. Peake spoke on the measures
taken to appeal against the classi-
fication of the automobile industry
as nonessential. He declared that
eighty per cent. of the automobiles
used in this country are used in an
essential way and sixty per cent. are
used in the essential business of
farming.

Railroads May Take
Steps to "UnscrambIe"
Before McAdoo Acts

Apropos of the recent talk that the
government is going to insist on all
the railroads dissociating themselves
from all their interests not directly
connecting with railroading, with
particular reference to such roads as
the Lackawanna, Reading, Lehigh
Valley, Jersey Central, Delaware G.
Hudson, Erie and others, which
made profit last year because the
increased profits of their coal busi-
ness offset the big declines in their
railroading earnings, a railroad man
yesterday remarked that nobody
seemed to have noticed that the
railroads themselves might under
take the task before the governme ent
asked them, If McAdoo insisted upon
telling them what to do with all their
income, from whatever source de-
rived. By ''unscram bling" a flank
movement might be achieved head
ing off Mr.. McAdoo, leaving him
with no excuse for attempting to
control the coal income, while the
stockholders would receive their
property without any fundamental
change.-New York Times.

to essential industries. Should the
daylight saving plan come to its
scheduled end on October 27, how
ever, other plans will have to be
adopted to meet the needs of these
war industries.
Power dealt out by the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company to nom
essential industries and to private
residences may have to be curtailed
announcements say. This step may
be taken by local fuel administrators
on their own initiative, it is said,
or may be taken through official ac-
ton of the government.
May Close Early
Manager Kaltwasser this morn
ing said that the maximum demand
for electrical current in Harrisburg
is experienced between $50 and 6
o'clock, in the evening, due to the
current needs at that time of offices
and private dwellings. Much current
is consumed, too, by street railways
companies.
One plan that was suggested this
morning by Manager Kaltwasser
as quite feasible for adoption in
Harrisburg, would be the closing of
the supply of current to nonessen-
tial industries at 4.30 o'clock in the
afternoon, before the increased
needs of the railways and dwellings
reach any great magnitude. By this
method, the needs of the war indus
tries in Harrisburg will be fully met.
The proposed continuance
throughout the year of the daylight
saving plan is but an extension of
the ideas of DIR. Harry A. Garfield,
Federal fuel administrator, and
Herbert Hoover, Federal food ad-
ministrator, as made known at the
time the daylight saving plan was
first proposed in the Congress in
March.
Some objection
Should the daylight saving plan
be adopted for the winter, some saw
ing of current would be made, es-
pecially in those offices which do not
open especially early. In many
homes, however, the current would
be needed in the morning and would
place somewhat of a strain on the
Light and Power Company. This
would not, however, nearly reach the
magnitude of the strain occasioned
by the need of light during the late
afternoon.
Some objections would arise to
the plan, too, from those risers who
would oDJect TO go TO work before
the darkness had lifted.
The daylight saving plan has
worked admirably thus far, but II
has never been thoroughly tested.
The real test, light officials through
out the country believe, will not
come until the winter season. Elec-
trio current problems will then be
greatly aggravated and some meth
ods must be adopted to meet them.
Electrical supply companies are
given little opportunity for enlarge
ment, even though the temporary in
creased demand for current would
warrant it, because of the scarcity of
the supplies that would be needed.
So the only measurer to ease the con-
dition will be some plan for the cur
tailnent of the current consumed.

WORST WOMAN ON
EARTH DIES AT 81
Lizzie Holiday, Who Slew
Six Persons, Passes Away
in State Hospital

Beacon, N. Y, June 29.-Lizzie
Holiday. who a quarter of century
ago killed her husband. an imbecile
stepson and two women friends near
Birmingham, Sullivan county, and
who during her long term of i'm
prisonment at Matteawan State Hos
pital murdered two women attend
ants, is dead in the State Hospital
here.
The career of Lizzie Holiday,
known for many years as "the worst
woman on earth" because she killed
those who loved her, is one of the
most remarkable in American GRIM
inal history. Born with the desire to
kill, the woman eXacted a heavy toll
of lives before she was finally sent to
Matteawan. And once in the insti-
tuition she took the lives of the only
two women who pitied and befriend-
ed her.
For more than twenty years Liz
zie Holiday was the most dreaded of
the inmates in the women's hospital
at Matteawan. Since 1906. when she
killed Nellie Wickes, young attend
ant, she had been closely guarded to
prevent another display of her
craftsmanship.
She was Elizabeth Margaret Nc
Nally, born in Ireland fifty-seven
years ago, and came to this country
in 1867, where she married Charles
Hopkins. Hopkins died suddenly and
the only son of the couple eventually
found his way into a Pennsylvania
institution.
The woman married Artemas
Brewster. He died within a year and
his widow married Hiram Parkinson,
from whom she separated. George
Smith was her next husband. After
trying to poison him she fed to Bel
lows Falls, VT, where she was the
wife of Charles Playstell for two
weeks.
She burned a small store in Phila-
delphia for the insurance and served
two years in a penitentiary. Later in
Newburgh she married Paul Holiday,
septuagenarian with an imbecile
son. Her first step was to set fire to
the Holiday home, burning to death
her newly-acquired stepson.
In 1893 Holiday disappeared. A
search of the cellar revealed the
bodies of Margaret McQuillan and
her daughter. Sarah. A day or two
later Holidays body was found
buried under the house.
Governor Flower commuted Lizzie
Holidays sentence of death after a
commission of doctors had pro-
nounced her insane.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
DOING GOOD WORK
What This Splendid Organization
AccoRpiishes Over.

The following shows wha. the
American Red Cross is doing over
seas:
Palermo-Six hundred young sons
of Iitlaian soldiers. living in the Villa
Filipino at Palermo, under control
of the AlIeanza Feminile. were enter
tanned at a picnic by the American
Red Cross. Complimentary TO the
Americans. the boys sang "rhe Star
Spangled Banner" and, IN tnrn were
presented with post cards on which
to write messages 10 their fathers at
the front. and. of course, a delicious.
nourishing picnic dinner without
which 70 fiesta would &c complete
The boys hare tccn a9iFc3 in many
ways by the American Red Cross since
its arrival in Palermo. For several
months they were supplied with hot
soup to restore them to normal health
and they were also given sandals.
This is merely another instance of
The close cooperation between the
American Red Cross and the Italian
organizations for war relief
Rome-Thousands of Italian chill
dren living in towns far removed from
railroads are now being provided with
food by the American Red Cross. The
chief article on the list is a soup con-
saining vegetables, grain and bit of
American beef, a formula that was
adopted only after much experiment
tation with a view to obtaining the
greatest nourishment for the young
sters. These ingredients contain ev-
erything a growing child needs. One
of the mos. picturesque of these small
towns is Tolfa, situated on mountain
overlooking the Mediterranean. The
three hundred children of the town
romp and play about the garden of an
old convent while their mothers work
in the valley below gathering the
great harvest which has blessed Italy
this year. The arrival of a Red Cross
automobile with consignment of sup
plies is always the signal for a spon-
taneods celebration during which the
children sing 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" in their native tongue.
Rome-The small farming towns in
remote parts of Italy have contrib
uted nearly every able-bodied man to
the country's fighting line. AS re-
suit the women have to work long
hours in the fields gathering the har-
vest. To enable them to do so the
American Red Cross is cooperating in
the work of caring for and feeding
their children.
