ant in Belgium would divide his scanty
rations with needy fugitive sooner
than a wealthy Belgian would dole
out a morsel from his comparatively
well-stocked larder. Perhaps the poor
have less to lose than the rich If their
generosity or charity is discovered by
the Huns.
There have been many Belgians shot
for helping escaped prisoners and other
fugitives, and 1t Is not to be wondered
at that they are willing to take as few
chances as possible. A man with a

.SCHWAB ASSERTS
SHIPYARDS ARE
RACE BRITAIN
Tells Hog Island Engineers
Progress Will Make the
World "Sit Up"

Philadelphia, June 7.-Great Bri-
tain and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration will virtually conduct an in
ternational race to see who will put
the greatest number of new ships on
the seas the coming year. To equal
ize the struggle which is coming, the
United Kingdom has just authorized
the construction of twelve yards, with
100 ways, to meet the problem.
This is the gist of the message
which Charles NJ. Schwab, the master
shipbuilder, gave to the "Pull-To-
gether" Club of Hog Island engi-
GERS, affiliated with the American
International Shipbuilding Corpora
ton lat the Adelphia last night.
Il received this news from Great
Britain by cable to-day" continued
Mr.. Schwab, "and I've just got sport
ing blood enough to want to see Hog
Island and the other yards lick our
greatest Ally, who is our dearest
rival in this shipbuilding contest.
VIII Make World Sit Up
And when Hog Island gets run
HlHS KNOW lndI IL VIII make the
whole world sit up and take notice.
You know there has been much criti-
cism of Hog Island, and 1 often think
it came from fellows who were heed
less. Usually the fellow who does
the most criticising has the idea in
mind, often think, that he wants
you to think he is hell of a fell
low"
Mr.. Schwab, after assuring his
hearers that there wasn't anything
gettable that he would not try to
obtain for Hog Island, told of a con-
ference he had with Secretary Dan
iels, of the Navy Department, on
Wednesday. Mr. Schwab said:
1T told him that he ought to give
us those two big turbine factories
and plants at Buffalo, and that if we
had them we could go ahead pretty
confident that everything was lovely
for us. The Secretary told me that

I WILL BE PROBED
Major Murdock Will Go to
Philadelphia Tomorrow
to Start the Work

"An investigation of the low regis
tration of aliens under class c in half
q dozen of the local draft board of
Philadelphia will be undertaken to-
morrow morning. l have received
word from General Crowder to begin
the inquiry if it does not conflict with
the tabulation of reports of the regis
tration.'" said Major w. G. Murdock,
state chief draft officer, to-day.
II have been in touch with some
of the boards in Philadelphia this
morning and they are gathering in
formation and preparing reports as
70 the. reasons for the low registra-
tion of aliens. The situation will de-
yelop when / get to Philadelphia"
Major Murdoch said that the
schedules for the movement of the
men called to go to Camps Lee, Green
leaf and Sherman would be ready next
week. These men are to start on
June "a.
When asked as to the statement of
General Crowder that he had order
ed revision of class l of the draft
Major Murdoch said: we have been
engaged on the preliminary investi-
cations for that work for two weeks.
We. have had inspectors in the field
looking into this very matter and will

be prepared to make reports to Gem
eral Crowder shortly"
All local boards have been urged to
get their lists of new registrants on
file at the headquarters by tomorrow
night
Returns from all Of the 2S2 local
draft districts in PENNSYLVANIA were
completed late last night and show
that 60,551 men who attained the
age of 81 in the last year registered
June 5.
Enlistments and failure of aliens
in some of the cities to register are
given as reasons why the registration
was not larger. Inquiries into causes
of light registration of aliens in Phil
adelphia will be inaugurated.
The registration by groups was as
follows:
Group A, native and naturalized
white men, 49,980.
Group B. colored men, 1878.
Group c. aliens, 7,19S.

"Work or Fight" Word
to Man Who Would
Sell Toy Balloons

That the Work or Fight" ruling
and antiloafing edict will be rigidly
enforced in Harrisburg was evi-
denced by the following letter sent
by the police department to Thomas
Zingaro, of York, who requested the
chief of police to allow him to sell
balloons and other wares of a SINH
lar nature in Harrisburg streets:
I'm reply to your letter of June A,
1918, I am instructed by the Chief
of Police to say that the selling of
balloons or other wares of a similar
character on the streets of Harris
burg is strictly prohibited, particu-
larly at this time, when all able
bodied men should be serving their
country in some useful way

In This Life.

We hear much Of love to God. Christ
spoke much of love to man. We make
a great deal of peace with heaven.
Christ made much of peace on earth.
Religion is not strange or added
thing, but the inspiration of the secu-
lar life, the breathing of an eternal
spirit through this temporal world.
