MOTORISTS GIVEN
OLD COPIES OF
TRAFFIC ACTS
Many Arrests Made Where
Automobiles Were Mis-
informed as to Law

Motorists in Harrisburg complain
that they have been fined for violat-
ing, city ordinances which are not
contained in the printed regulations
given out by the police department
for the guidance of the city's motor
lists.
Nearly thirty motorists have been
fined for violations of the city traf-
fic ordinances during the last two
weeks and some of these claim that
the ordinance they violated, namely,
that of running after dark with their
lights undimmed, is not contained in
the regulations as issued by the de-
partment. These ordinances, they
point out, have been passed by Coun-
ellis since the books were printed.
The department is still using pamph-
let's printed many months ago.
Another ordinance not contained in
the printed regulations is that re-
stricting parking in South Fourth
street between Market and Chestnut
streets. Motorists think the regula-
tons should be complete when issued
by the department. The printed in
structions now being issued were
printed in 1915.
The police point out that ignorance
of the law does not excuse it's vio-
lation and that they are not required
by law to pass out copies of the
ordinance, although it is customary.
They add that when they give out
the printed instructions thay warn of
the additional ordinances. The rea-
son for their failure to print any
books recently is that the ordinances
will be changed in the near future,
they say.

SENATE THROWS
OUT RIGHT TO
STRIKE IN WAR
Lecturers Told, by Gompers.
Withholding of Permission
Will Make Lawbreakers
by associated Press

Washington, April 1.-THE confer
ence report on the bill providing Sc
we're penalties for destruction of or
interference with production of es7
scntial war materials, containing the
clause giving workmen the right to
strike for better wages or working
conditions. was rejected to-day by
the Senate, 81 to %.
The vote will cause the House to
reconsider tho pili. The Senate OPP
position was directed solely to the
clause providing tho bill should not
restrict workmen from striking.
Many Senators who objected to the
provision regarded to-day's vote as
rcbuke to workmen VINO have
struck at 'shIpy and factories en-
gagged on war work.
Gompcrs Dcnounces Proposal
While the Senate was rejecting the
much discussed provision, President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, speaking before the Ma
tional Conference of American Lee
turers here. was denouncing the pro-
posal to prohibit strikes and walk
cuts.
"As a patriotic American citizen"
declared Mr., Gompers, II serve warn
ing on Congress not to permit the
deviltry and folly of such law. 1t
will serve only to make strikers law
breakers as well. Nothing will do
more to create resentment than to
make 1t unlawful for men to stop
work.
Nobody he declared. has served
more effectually in offsetting the in
fuence of pernicious German propa-
Sanda than organized labor.

KAISER AIMS TO WEAR
DOWN BRITISH ARMY
[Continucd From First Page.]

Grst defenses in the lowland, have
cen unable to gain the crest of
Messines ridge, despite many furious
assaults. Armentieres still is in
British hands, but it is the apex of
sharp salient as the result of two
days fighting and British with
drawal to the west of Lys is prob
able.
Seek to Wipe Out British
Emperor William and the German
n military leaders in the present Of
fensive, it is reported in dispatches
from the battlefront. plan the wiping
out of the British army. 1t is be-
Eeved the Germans now are seriously
attempting by 'winging their attacks
to the north to annihilate British re-
sistance. In consequence. further as
saults along the Bcitish front and
much despers ghting is expected.
Infantry lighting on the Picardy
battlefront has quieted down momen-
tarily. The French and German ar
tillery has been violent. There have
been artillery exchanges on the Brit
ish front. which has not yet been
linked up with the northern battle
field. There has been no infantry ac-
tivity on the -Vimy sector,
German artillery fire is increasing.
Hunt United States Transports
Another drop in the sinking of the
Allied merchantmen by German sub
marines is noted in current reports.
The British losses of six ships. in
cluding four of more than 1.6O0 tons,
is the next lowest weekly total since
February, 1917. The lowest week
was that of November IL, when one
large and five small vessels went
down. Last weeks total was thir-
teen, including six of the large ton
mage. One Italian and two French
merchantmen also are reported lost
It is believed in Washington the
falling off in submarine effectiveness
is due to the fact that the Germans
are turning their attention from
merchantmen to transports. Depar-
lures of American troops for Europe
Il is said, now are three times great
er than some time ago and it IL prob
able the Germans may be preparing
for a huge submarine offensive
