FACTS NOT GIVEN
TO GERMAN PEOPLE.

Up to the last moment (England
even held out until noon of the 4th OF
August, 1914, when the German army
had already swept like torrent over
the boundaries of the nelghboring coun-
tries on every side) the rulers, minis
tiers and diplomats of England, Russia,
France and Serbia did all that lay
within human power, even to the ut
most seIf-abnegation, In order to pre-
serve peace for the world. This fact
Is clearly manifest; the documents con-
corning it set it forth in black and
white to the gaze of the world. They
are acknowledged as authentic by the
German government, but they are nat
urally withheld from the German peo-
pie. No one wished to attack us, either
then or at any later time. All that Aus
trla could ask OF Serbia with even the
slightest sembance Of justice was free
Iy granted.
Thus from the very beginning of the
war the sympathy Of the entire world
belonged properly to our neighbors
who had been so wantonly attacked.
! But 1t did not stop at sympathy; the
scoundrels who govern you and control
you, by the colossal atrocity of their
methods of warfare, by such brutality
as In itself to be a menace to the whole
neutral world, by disregard of all es-
tablished treaties, managed step by
step to enrage all civilized humanity
to war against us.
If bloodthirsty maniac should be
let loose on the streets those whom he
attacked would defend themselves. All
peace-loving men would hasten to their
rescue; only towards would stink tim
idly away. This is today the attitude
of the world toward Germany. There
will be no peace, and justly so, until
the murderer is imprisoned and shorn
of his power to harm.
THIS MURDERER is
GERMAN EMPEROR.

himself has chosen for his infamous

England's titled men and women are
in this war to win, and are actuated
by the same motives and feelings as
the humblest Tommy. The noblemen
of England have as whole gone into
the army or navy and have proved
their courage and sacrifice as evil
denced in the days citations and casu-
atty lists. The women are also doing
their bit. Few Of England's prominent
women are not enrolled and actively
working in the various service leagues
assisting the government. The Duchess
of Abercorn has two daughters In war
service. One is working in a munition
factory and the other is in the Red
Cross service.

Three years have passed since the

into a sea of blood and tears.
Trained from childhood to be a sol

he has encouraged It, He supported
and fomented the almost daily quar-
rels Of the other powers through the
Pan-German press by his infiamma-
tory speeches. Last OF all he affixed his
signature to the various declarations OF

For nine years the diplomacy of our
neighbors, consistently anxious for
peace, succeeded in averting this dis

policy which was falsely presented tc

which Germany was always most
heartily invited to participate. Ger
many was not isolated, but the German
government, and In Its wake the Aus

civilized nations, as criminals from hu

dispatch from Amsterdam.

that Germany cannot be certain of
winning the war by force of arms
caused an indescribable sensation in
the Reichstag. says a Zurich dispatch
to the Petit Journal. His prediction
that the war may last through a fifth
winter was received in silence. and
there was CONSERVATION among the

The debate which followed the
speech was stormy, pan-German
| speakers being interrupted by the
Left.
I'm the midst of antiquities can
be seen the deadl yuneasiness of the
Kaiser" remarks the Petit Journal.
The Foreign Secretary must have an
abnormal degree of imprudence to
declare, the day after the Emperor
glorified himself for foreseeing the
war, that Russia and the Entente
started it."
The speech was intended for Ger
man consumption, in the opinion of
the Excelsiors, which says the Ger
man people need such "recomforting
tonics."

Conservatory to
Be Removed Soon

George A. Shreiner, superinten-
dent of public grounds and buildings
to-day declared that the Capitol
Park conservatories bought yes
terday by Samuel Fishman at public
sale, are to be removed as soon as
possible. I'VE expect to get action
and 1 understand Mr.. Fishman is
arranging to have the building re-
moved. The people who bought the
plants will have to remove them
soon. Mr.. Fishman bought a number
which he placed at his residence, /
understand"
Mr.. Shreiner said that he thought
the state lucky to get a bid for re-
moval of such a delicate proposition
as the conservatory and that instead
of the building being worth anything
like what the state had paid for il
in construction, extension and re-
modelling in the last thirty years, he
had been informed that it could be
duplicated in a better style for S14,-
600.
The fact that the conservatory,
then known as the rose house." had
figured in the Stone campaign be-
cause of the cost, was recalled to-day
by many people. Mr.. Fishman is
hunting people to start the removal
work but does not know who will
buy the material the house contains.

YOUTH OF NATION
ASSIGNED NUMBERS


few months will elapse at the most
between the calling of men in Glass
whose numbers are among those
drawn first and those whose numbers
are among the last to be taken from
the bowl.
Baker Draws First Numbers
The first few numbers to be drawn
were taken from the, bowl shortly
after $50 o'clock by Secretary
Baker. Later, attaches of the office
of Provost Marshal General Crowder
were blindfolded and withdrew the
capsules from the bowl. AS the num-
bers were drawn, they were an
nourced and written on a large
blackboard. When the blackboard
was filled, it was removed to be pho
toSraphed and another substituted.
This operation was repeated during
the more than three hours required
for the drawing.
In comparison with the 10000
numbers required to be drawn a year
ago, only 1900 numbers were drawn
to-day. The district having the larg-
est number of men to register June
8 reported somewhat less than 1000
registrants. To provide for late reg
istrants and emergencies. 1t was de-
cided to draw 1900 numbers. In the
larger number of the districts, how
ever, only the lower numbers will
apply.
Official lists of the numbers as
drawn based on the photographs
taken of the blackboards will be sent
within a few days to all local draft
boards to be used in placing the men
when the questionnaires have been
returned.

tached to the order in which the
numbers are drawn.

Wilson Plans Aid to
Russia From Standpoint
of Trade Improvement

Washington, June 27.-President
Wilson has determined upon the
basic principles OF a plan for extend
ing aid to Russia and is now engaged
in formulating the details. At a
cabinet council, called hastily for the
purpose, he outlined his proposals
and invited suggestions as to the best
means of carrying the policy into
execution.
The Presidents plan does not con-
template military Intervention to re-
store Russian nationality and save
the Russian people from the Ger
man yoke. 1t aims at the CONNER
cial, industrial, and agricultural up
building of the great territory for
merly ruled by Car, through a
policy of mutual helpfulness arrang-
ed between the United States and
whatever Russian authority is es-
tablished through the efforts of this
government along the lines of the
proposals which will be advanced
in the Presidents name. At the
same time it has features somewhat
similar to those in what has been re-
garded by many friends of Russia
as the most feasible scheme for saw
ing Russia from complete political
and economical disintegration.
1t has not yet come to light wheth-
er the Presidents policies contem-
plates joint action with Americas al
lies in seeking to assist Russia. So
much of the plan discussed at the
White House Cabinet conference is
still secret. 1t is believed. however.
that Great Britain, France, Italy,
Japan and China will be invited to
join with the United States in the
measures contemplated for the up
building of Russia. They must be
consulted, at any rate, and their
views doubtless will have weight with
the President.
The proposed administration poll
icy follows the line of prior sugges-
tions in that the commission would
enter Russian territory through ST.

were burned to the ground and two
others damaged by fire that origi-
mated day in the home of Charles
Slaybaugh, in South street. when
Mrs. Slaybaugh attempted to start
fire in the kitchen stove.

burned to the foundations. Sparks
set in flames the roofs of houses oc-
cupied by William Yenstch and Will

laborers employed at the mines who
boarded at one of the houses which

Red Cross Melting
Pot Is Enriched

Wedding rings, Japanese trinket
boxes, silver and tinfoil, old silver
ware and thousands of little trinkets
of every description are included in
the contents of the Red Cross melt
ing pot. This morning members of
the committee in charge of the melt
ing pot drive began to appraise the
contents of the four kettles, which
were placed in various parts of the
city. Among the most interesting
finds were number of rare old coins
and some medals of great historical
value. The latter were given to the
Dauphin County Historical Society.
1t is estimated that the contents of
the various melting pots will realize
a substantial sum for the Red Cross.
Silver candelabra, bonbon dishes,
brass pins and brooches of various
sorts are among the odds and ends.
The committee is making an effort to
secure old surgical instruments not
being used by their owners. They
will be sent to workers among the
refugees. Some silver and gold ar
ticles have been placed on sale in
the store of f. G. Hoover. jeweler.
Proceeds of the sale of the articles
