STEELTON NEWS ITEMS
PLANT DRIVE
NETS $55,SOO
First Days Results Are En-
couraging to Solicitors in
Steel Company Drive

Artillery fire in all parts of the
district and in steel plant depart
ments in the form of "Buy-a- Bond"
ammunition, kept up a ceaseless, un-
tiring attack yesterday, with the re-
suit that solicitors are getting many
subscribers.
Keeping up the battle of Liberty
Bonds which was started yesterday,
this borough poured more than $75,-
900 into the Golfers of the govern
ment, according to unofficial reports
this morning.
Steel company officials this morn
ing reported that $55,S00 had been
subscribed by plant employees yester-
day, while bank officials were unable
to give out any information in re-
CARDS to the campaign in the district
The steel plant figures represent a
few of the department results only,
as many of the solicitors are holding
out in order to run up the totals later
in the week.
Local bank officials announced this
morning that bonds have been re-
ceived and will be delivered to any
subscriber wishing to buy them out
right. Beginning tomorrow results
of the campaign each day will be
posted on a downtown store window
and in the various departments of
the local plant.
Keen rivalry is evident in the
plant drive, each department trying
to outclass the other. This is largely
responsible for the good showing, as
all departments are working hard
for perfect records.

Not Throwing
the Bull, Either

Liberty Loan Bond statesmen at
Royalton met u farmer.
You're going to buy bonds,
aren't you?" they said to him.
.'Nho-mc?" said the farmer,
his eyes twinkling.
You bct-you," said the bond
sellers.
"Sec that steer" said the farm
cr, pointing to whopping big
beef hitchcd to the rear OF the
wagon. The aforesaid beef was
not looking happy.
I'VE sec him. said the bond
statesmen.
I'm just taking him to the
butcher's," said the farmer. HE
weighs twelve hundred pounds
as he stands ttlere-having just
drunk about twenty-five pounds
of water, by the way. He's what
you call n prime and 1 am GO
ing to get prime price for him
NOT less than fifteen cents n
pound. What will that give mc?"
The bond statesmen did some
quick figuring.
You will get $3.50, if he goes
200 pounds
That's right" said the farm
or. .And if you see me after I
see the butcher I will buy three
$50 Liberty Bonds-and IL you
have any Baby Bonds i'll your
clothes bring them along. too"
Which the statesmen did-and
which the farmer did, too.

GUFFEY SAYS
LOAN IS FIRST
Candidate For Democratic
Nomination Quits Business
But Is Selling Bonds

Joseph f. Guffey. the acting Dem
ocratic State Chairman and candi-
date of the Democratic machine for
Governor, yesterday resigned his
business connections with Pittsburgh
utilities, but declared that he would
not engage in any campaign work
until the Liberty Loan work was
finished. He is one OF the committee
in charge of the sale of Uncle Sam s
bonds in Pittsburgh and much inter-
ested in the work.
This is no time to attempt to di-
vert the public mind to politics" Mr..
Guffey said last night. "The first duty
of every man and woman is to do all
within his or her power to win the
war and the important thing to do
just now is to aid to our utmost the
sale of Liberty Bonds. This duty
overshadows all else and no man is
wholly patriotic if he does not make
other things secondary to success of
the loan. There will be plenty time
after May 4, the date the loan cam
paiEn is to close, to interest the
people in the state political cam
paign and, as a candidate for the
nomination for Governor, / will do
nothing until after that date that
might turn the public mind from the
important duty of each one giving
his best for the success of this loan'
During the loan campaign all of my
time will be devoted to its success.
propose to forget politics for the
time and put all thought and energy
into the sale of Liberty Bonds. The
public should resent the attempt on
the part of any man or organization
to bring politics to the front during
the Liberty Loan campaign. Every
candidate should give all the time
and money possible toward making
the loan a success"

balance of the S5S,000 in sales OF
much smaller magnitude. The lit

this time. as we'll as the "big 'uns.

British Excel Germans
in Production of Dyes

London, April 23. - The British
Dyes Company. promoted by the Board
of Trade with the assistance of the
Treasury, to take the position held
before the war by the Germans has
been at work for over two years and
is able 10 report good progress. The
works at Huddersileld,. near Leeds,
have reached the proportions of a
small town and are still expanding.
The directors have gone to the heart
of the German success.
Compounds have been devised and
dyes produced even beyond the in
genuity of the Germans. for the
British Dyes Company did not have
to start at, the beginning, but where
Germany left off in August, 1914.
The company has been able to manu-
facture nitric acid, fuming sulphuric
acid. and intermediates. such as BEN
zoine, betanaphthol and synthetic
phenol. as well as fine dyes, and is
evidently in control of a complete
organization. From financial point
of view its success is demonstrated
by the fact that it has been able to
pay the maximum dividends allowed
upon each share of capital during
the last two years.

All Doing Better
1t will be observed that each of the
four counties is doing more in bond
sales in the third loan flotation than
the second. Perry county, for exam
pie, has already sold more bonds this
loan than in the second; and Juniata
county is within $1,000 of the last

WORKERS PUNISH
BOND STACKER
Appeals of Officials Save Aus
trian From Rough
Treatment

Displaying their determination to
rid the local steel plant of all un-
patriotic foreigners, employees of the
machine shop department yesterday,
bound, Kaspar Hartick AN Austrian,
with rope an dprepared to throw
him in the old Pennsylvania canal
because he refused point blank to
subscribe to a Liberty Bond.
The men were persuaded to free
the man by officials of the plant after
they had carried out part of their
plans in Furnishing the dsloyal
worker. Although the foreigner was
not thrown into the canal he was
badly treated and received lacera-
tions and bruises of the face and
body. it is said.
Officials of the local steel plant
said this morning that Hartrick had
been discharged after the incident.
The police department made an in
Vestigation and found that some of
the reports of the incident were
greatly exaggerated, officials said.
How long Hartick worked at the
plant and whether or not he was
naturalized they were unable to say.
Committeeman Tells Story
A steelworker told the following
story to-day: 81 went to Hartick on
Saturday and asked him to buy a
bond. He said he did not want to
buy any, [ told him to think over
it until Monday, that during the
time he may change his mind.
Yesterday I went to him and
asked him if he had decided about
the bond. He said he did and that
he did not want to buy any. Not
being able to do much with him I
went to a fellow worker and sent
him to see Hartick. He is said to
have declared at this time Damn the
Liberty Loan"
THE incident gained wide circu-
lation and workers at once decided
to impress upon Hartick's mind what
they thought of such actions. The
foreigner was bound tand taken down
through the shop. AS the steel
workers and Hartick made their
way through the shop the crowd ac-
cumulated and by the time they
reached the door the gang was COM
posed of about $50 workmen.
AT this point the bosses persuaded
the men to release Harticll and he
was taken to the office and after
ward escorted from the plant by the
ponce.
1t is reported that when the men
were taking Hartick down through
the plant he would try to hold them
back by holding fast to car wheels
and other Instructions. He would
release his grasp when struck on the
arms by workmen, it is said.
After Hartick saw the workmen
meant to punish him for his lean
ings, it is understood, he said he
would subscribe but then the work.
men told him it was too late.

URUGUAY AND
ARGENTINA TO
DECLARE WAR
South American Nations En-
pected TO Join Allies
Against Germany

London, April 23.-Uruguay and
Argentine are expected to declare
war against Germany at an early
date. according to Berlin advices for
warded by the Exchange Telegraph
correspondent at Amsterdam. The
German newspapers have been not-
red to prepare the public for this de-
velopment, he adds.
Uruguay's relations with Germany
are known to have been tense for
some time. On April IL. Monte
video dispatch stated that Uruguayan
mission TO France had been captured
by n German submarine. Uruguay,
the dispatch stated, had asked Ber-
lin. through Switzerland, If Germany
considered that a state of war exist
ed with the Uruguayan republic as
stated by the commander OF a SUB
marine who captured n Uruguayan
military mission bound for France.
IF the reply was in the affirmative,
il was announced Uruguay would de-
clare state of war.
Break Since October
Uruguay definitely broke diplomat
ic relations with Germany by act of
Congress Or October last, following
the crisis over the relations between
Argentina and Germany brought
about by the LuSburg incident. Pass
ports were handed to the German
minister and the neutrality rule was
waved as to the entente allies. The
attitude of Uruguay towards the
United States as q belhGerent had
previously been markedly sympa-
thetic.
Argentina has been apparently on
the verge of break in relations with
Germany over the submarine sltua-
1ion several times since the publica-
ton last summer of the documents
in which Count Won LuXburg, Ger
man diplomatic representative at
Buenos Aires, advised the Berlin for
eign office, among other things, that
a certain Argentine merchant vessel
should be sunk without trace.
There has as a matter of fact, been
little diplomatic communication be-
tween Buenos Aires and Berlin in
this period as Count Won LuXburS
was handed his passports and only
remained in Argentina because his
health was represented to be such as
TO require him to be treated in a
Sanatorium.
Relations Grow Tense
Dispatches from Buenos Aires in
February indicated a growing tense
ness in relations and a g. growing
anti-German sentiment. Since then,
demonstrations have been held in the
Argentinian capital in celebration of
the entry of the United States into
the war and the Uruguayan authori-
ties have made it known that Argen-
tina has agreed TO place the Argen-
tina armed forces at Uruguay's dis
posal if Uruguay's northern provin-
ces were threatened by a German up
rising in Southern Brazil.
