TWO HUN FLYERS
MADE ATTACK ON
u. S. HOSPITAL
Inquiry Reveals Bombard-
ment of Red Gross Insti-
tuition Was Deliberate

| Paris, July 1S-Two German air.
planes took part in the deliberate
bombing of the American Red Cross
hospital at Jouy late Monday night.
An investigation of the affair has
! been made at the request of Harvey
ID. Gibson, American Red Cross Com
missioner for France, by Daniel Il.
Pierce, of the Committee on Public
Information
The report shows that four bombs
were dropped at IL o'clock at night.
Two fell squarely on tents. and the
fourth failed to explode.
There are no structures of any kind
near the hospital and the nearest
railroad is three kilometers away. In
addition to the usual Red Cross mark
ings, large cross 100 feet long was
in position on the lawn. Photographs
taken recently from airplanes showed
that the cross was visible several
thousand feet in the air.
Seven ILLNESSES agreed that the Ger
man aviators flew back and forth
several times. They then shut off
their engines, dropped to within
few hundred feet and let go their
bombs after a careful observation.
The German aim was good, but for
tunately only two enlisted men were
Killed and nine of the hospital per-
sonnel wounded.
TWO pieces of a bomb went through
window and passed within four feet
or the surgeon in charge, who was
performing difficult operation.
When the bombs fell all the lights
went out, leaving the operating tables
in darkness, and the surgeon with
great difficulty was able to give the
patient temporary relief. Another
piece of bomb tore open the chest of
an orderly as he was raising a pa
tient to give him a drink.
One of the nine hospital attendants
wounded lost a leg, amputation being
performed Tuesday. A private from
Philadelphia was struck by a piece of
bomb at almost the identical spot on
his back from which piece of shrap-
mel had been removed a few hours
previously. A fragment of steel
traversed the entire length of a tent
only few inches over the head of a
long row of surgical and gas cases,
went through the end wall of the
tent and struck a nurse who was
standing outside. She was not
wounded seriously
The hospital had until recently 60
wounded German prisoners among it's
patients They had received exactly
the same treatment as the other pa
tients and were even given special
Fourth of July delicacies. All the
Germans were grateful. except a lieu
tenant, who objected violently to be-
ing placed in the same ward with his
men.

cred with insulation of ample thick
ness.
That the surface of steam piping.
drums and feed water heaters which
waste heat by radiation be properly
covered with insulating material.
That exhaust steam be utilized
wherever possible instead of direct
steam from the boilers. Exhaust
steam from the engine contains
about 80 per cent. of the heat in
live steam. Never allow exhaust
steam to escape to the atmosphere
when it can be used for any useful
purpose. Use it for heating build
ings, feed water and general pro-
cess work.
That a committee of employees be

servation outside of the power plant.
Some form of bonus arrangement
is suggested for those of the COM
mittee most active in accomplish
ing results.
The plants are also asked to use
stagger manufacturing operations so
that the peak loads will be fiattened
as much as possible. The replacing
of carbon lamps with mazda and the
elimination of arc lamps by using
large lighting units of a more eff
cient type are recommended.
No Coal For Stubborn Landlord
Out of the seventy-five cases which
Thomas M. Hyndman, associate
counsel for Chairman Lewis, has in
Vestigated tenant and landlord have
been brought to agreement in sew
enty-four instances; but the case of
Samuel Englander, who insists that
his tenant in No. $500 block. Wyalus-
ing avenue, must vacate, could not
be adjusted. Consequently the city
fuel administration yesterday sent
notice to Englander that the house
should receive no coal during the
coming winter This means that the
house will be vacant till next coal
year begins. 1t is the first applica-
ton of the recent declaration made
by Chairman Lewis to prevent prof.
teering landlords from taking ad
vantage of tenants.

City To Worry Along This
Summer Without Dog Catcher
High Wage Scale at Munitions Plants Works Havoc in
Ranks of Eligibes County Tax Supersedes That of City

Despite the world war and the
news of great drives there is one
bright spot in the summer skies for
the youngsters in the city. There
will be no official dog catcher in
Harrisburg this year.
OF course that means that a GER
tain mischievous summer sport will
no longer be enjoyed. but who cares
about opening the door of the dog
catcher's wagon when there isn't 60
ing to be a dog catcher.
Harrisburg will not impose a dog
tax this year and will not make any
effort to round up stray dogs, except
any unlicensed ones which may be
shot by the police" a city official
said. "The state law passed last year
directs that owners of dogs must pay
a license fee to the county treasury
and as the law applies to the city
and county districts it is not the in
tention of council to impose double
tax on the owners of CANNES in the
city"
The custom in past years had been
to appoint a dog catcher in the city

ECONOMY MUST
BE PRACTICED TO
CONSERVE COAL
Fuel Administration Sends
QueStonnaires to Heads
of Big Plants

Philadelphia, July Is. William
Potter, State Fuel Administrator,
made the statement yesterday that
he is confident the coal situation will
be such next winter that industrial
suspension will be at a minimum
At the same time movement to put
steam power plants on a strictly eco
nomical basis, involving a large saw
ing of coal, was gotten under way
throughout the state. Each such
plant received a searching question:
naire concerning its equipment and
methods for coal consumption, from
which data for grading its fuel US
ing efficiency will be secured. The
amount of coal allowed will be only
that percentage of it's normal con-
sumption that corresponds to it's per-
centage of efficiency in economic fuel
consumption.
With this QUESTIONABLE went a set
of recommendations headed with the
significant warning, Your coal sup
ply will depend on your compli-
anee with these recommendation"
They urge:

With the British Army in France,
July 17.-German troops in some
portions of the trenches in Flanders

NEW TAX BILL
WILLLUMP ALL
TOLL FOR WAR
Each Citizen Can Calculate
His Burden in $8,OOO,-
100000 Measure

Washington, July 1S-Under the
new $4,000. 900, 900 war revenue bill,
which the House Ways and Means
Committee began considering yester-
day in secret session, the American
taxpayer will be able to determine
the exact toll taken from him to sup
port the war.
Chairman Kitchin announced that
direct taxation on all citizens was
contemplated as the easiest way of
finding additional revenue.
For the first time in the country's
history, all taxation bills are to be
merged in one single measure as far
as possible. The taxpayer, after the
passage of the new bill, which will
be reported to Congress some time in
September. by understanding this
single piece of legislation, will be
able to estimate the war tax levy
against him individually.
In framing the new tax law the
House committee will enter fields
that never before have been explored
by the adventurous American.
No Tax on Breakfast Table
At to-day's sessions there was a
general discussion of the tax on in
comes. excess profits and luxuries,
but no conclusion upon any particular
item was reached and the committee
adjourned until Friday, while the
tentative draft is being further work
ed out
The only new suggestion in the
confidential print of the tentative
bill is as to taxes on candy and fire.
arms, but no rate of taxation is pro-
posed. None of the long list of lux
uries which the Treasury proposed

be taken UP later. Members of the
committee believe many probably
will be discarded. No tax will be
levied upon the breakfast table" or
upon such commodities as sugar. tea,
cotton, lumber. wheat and oil. ac-
cording to members.
This bill will cooperate all eX-
listing tax laws and make it possible
for the taxpayer to determine the
amount of his war taxes and to pay
them all in lump sum-" said Chair
man Kitchin.
All Direct Taxation
However, Mr.. Kitchin did not say
exactly what he meant. He intended
to make clear that the taxpayer, by
provisions of the bill, will have the
opportunity to learn what his war
taxes are to the final cent and not
through the handS OF war pront-
eers." For instance, the new bill
will permit the payment of the tax
on tobacco directly across the coun-
ter, instead of indirectly through the
tobacco dealer.
Profit taxes also will be easily esti-
mated. If the majority of the COM
mittee has it's way the measure will
assess a direct tax of so per cent on
all excess profits due to the war, al
though this British and Canadian idea
was fought by Mr.. Kitchin at the
last session.

AS the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan approaches, the Am

toward Berlin. Under our own
leaders the great American Army
has won a notable victory.
The Fourth Loan must be
great loan. The Fourth Liberty
Loan is a fighting loan.
When our soldiers on the battle
front are braying death, each one
offering to make the supreme sac
rIlice for his country and the great
cause, we who remain safely at
hon,e surely should give them eve
rv supporl, should make every
sacrifice to strengthen them. If we
cannot fight ourselves, we can
make our dollars fight.
IL is a great cause forwhich Am
erica is engaged in this war; it is a
great struggle i'm which the very
hope of the world is bound up that
is being waged in Europe and on
the high seas. 1t is an hopor to
have part in it, and all Ameri
cans, all of their lives, will he
proud of the part they had in it, or
ashamed of their failure TO do
their part.
The Fourth Loan is a Fighting
Loan. Every subscriber to the
Loan strikes blow for Liberty,
for Victory.
