''The old subterfuges that the note undoubtedly carries show the desper- ate need of peace,'' the article says. There is no need for secret confer ences when President Wilson and oth- CTS already have set forth the Allied conditions There is no doubt that the note was inspired by Berlin. With the cannon of Hindenburg unsuccess- fuI, we will now see a return to the subleties of diplomacy. The note is equivalent to a confession of military weakness.

MAJESTIC BILL
IS EXCELLENT
Holiday Crowds Appreciate
Fine Vaudeville; Musical
Act a Feature

One of the best vaudeville bills Of
at the Majestic for the first half of
the week. Holiday crowds yesterday
enjoyed a fine program of music, song
and comedy patter, each act going
across better than the one preceding
it.
The Shattucks, novelty jugglers,
are first after the pictures. Their
feats are not new but are good for
an opening attraction and arouse in
terest. Roweley and Young are next
with some rapid-fire novelty dance
numbers. Their Introductory song,
"All Right was a hit.
Housh and Lavelle have such a big
variety of songs, dances and clever
comedy patter that there isn't dull
minute from the time they start until
the applause and bows are over. Both
were popular with the audience and
will get big reception IL they return
soon to Harrisburg.
Muriel Morgan and Billy Parker
are another pair who use slim and
stout" personalities as subject mat
ter for their jokes, then offer some
good songs. among them Sweeue',
Somewhere In France Is the Lily,
and Sweet Emelina." :,
The closing feature is Willard
Temple of Music" This is one of
the most enjoyable musical offerings
in vaudeville, the program starting
with a marimba selection, bell trios
and quartets following. Among the
musical numbers are "Huckleberry
Finn" Offenbach's "Barcarolle,
Joan Of Are" and "Over There"

out only a few days, already quite
a large list of colleges have written
stating that they will be represen-
ted. Cornell, Wisconsin, Princeton,
Dartmouth. Pittsburgh, Columbia,
Amherst, Holy Cross, Carlisle, Col

least twenty more delegates have
accepted Pennsylvania's invitation
and they will have their best men
here for the games. Verbal accept
ances have been received from
Michigan, Yale, Harvard, Chicago
and other colleges, but it is always
the policy of the relay management
to wait until an official acceptance
has been received.
CoIIepes Show Increase
AS the number of colleges entered
to date is larger than ever before
so early, it looks as if this years
games would be fully as represen-
tative as usual. The entry of Cor
nell, Princeton and Wisconsin is es-
pecially interesting. Coach Jones
of Wisconsin, has big squad in
training and he hopes to bring along
at least one team that will take care
of one of the championship events
Princeton seems to have a fair
amount of veteran material and
should be a big factor at the games
this season. Coach Moakley, OF
Cornell, is pursuing his usual pol
icy of having weekly track meets
and he is developing lot of mer
who will make their first real ap-
pearance this year at Pennsylvania s
famous races. In fact the Relay
Carnival will be especially watched
this year, for it will be the only
means of getting a line on the large
number of new men that will be the
real contenders at the 1ntercolle'
giate Championships.

USE OF LIQUOR
BY POLICE MUST
STOP SAYS MAYOR
Efficiency Is the Only Goal
Sought, Says City's Chief
Executive

'The use of liquor by men on this
police force absolutely will not be
tolerated" was the parting admoni-
ton of Mayor Daniel L. Keister to
two members of the Harrisburg po-
lice force whom he called into his
office for investigation into the
charge that they had used liquor
while in uniform. Following the ad-
mission of the men that they had in
dulged in drink while in uniform,
the Mayor reprimanded them and
assured them that the practice will
not be tolerated in the force.
Following the information that
any member of the force has used
liquor while in uniform, the chief
executive will dismiss him from the
force Immediately. This was the
substance of a talk by the Mayor
last evening. In answer to the
charge that the police had made for
themselves the reputation of loafing
on the job, the Mayor vouched for
the fact that the policemen are busy
all the time they ar on duty, look
ing up questionnah es, coal emer-
gency orders, and quick charity fund
cases.
AS an evidence of the efficiency
of the department. Mayor Keister
cited the fact that out of $2,O35
worth of articles stolen in January,
$1,799 worth was recovered.
The Mayor is determined to break
up the petty 1ealousies that have
interfered with the work of the de-
partment. He said that the police
men are paid by the taxpayers, who
have raised their wages, and there
fore they must give their best serv-
ice as an appreciation. As q be-
ginning, he made Sergeant Draben-
stadt and Patrolman Wiesman shake
hands in his office last night.
The Mayor has also prohibited the
practice of policemen hiring out" at
dances or theaters. He says it i'm
pairs their efficiency for the city. A
sergeant to take charge of police
headquarters from 4 a. m. to p. m.
is another innovation of the Mayor.
The sergeant will be promoted from
the ranks of the force by city Coun-
Gil at future meeting, the Mayor
said.
