War Made in Germany but
Peace Will Be Made in US.


As a preliminary to the approach
ing Red Cross drive, Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise, of New York City, deliver
ed a stirring address to members of
the executive committee of the Har-
risburg Red Cross Society at a meet
ing in the Chestnut street auditorium
last evening.
His talk dealt with many phases
of the great world war, but particu-
lar attention was paid to the splen-
did work being done by the Red
Cross Society along every battlefront
and in every camp and cantonment.
Characterizing each oversubscription
to any war fund as another shot at
Kaiser Bill Hohenzollern, Rabbi
Wise said that he had no doubt that
Harrisburg would again show its in
tense patriotism by subscribing and
oversubscribing its quota in the cam
paign as it has done in every war
campaign to date.
Speaking more generally, the Rab-
bi said I'VE have spent millions in
the prosecution of the war and we
have sent more than 100000 men to
France, but we will spend a million
times as many millions and send five
million men to France instead of
100000 rather than see one German
foot remain to defile the sacred soil
of France or Belgium. The war was
made in Germany" he added but
the peace will be concluded in the
United States"

veals Plan to Utilize Arms
Against Nation
By Associated Press

New York, May 14.-ReportS that
thousands of rifles had been secretly
imported from the Krupp works at
Essen in order to "Germanize' the
United States were related to-day at
an inquiry conducted by State At
torney General Lewis into rumors
of boarding of army stores by Ger
| man interests in the United States.
IC Edgar A. Holmes, of this city, a
witness, credited the reports to a
man named H. j. Grossley. Holmes.
as broker, tried to buy the rifles,
but was unsuccessful, he said. Dur
ing the negotiations Grossley told
him that some one million rifles had
been imported from Essen via the
Hoboken docks of two German
steamship companies, and were to
be used in the United States if the
Germans were successful in reaching
the English Channel ports.
Mr. Holmes identified a copy of a
letter written by himself offering to
sell one million Spanish Mausers and
enc million cartridges. The letter,
dated June 8, 1917. was addressed
to DR.. Thomas Darlington, of New
York. former health commissioner.
Holmes testified he had never seen
the articles, but had talked with an
engineer named Francis L. Judd,
who said he had seen boxes contain
ing $4,000 rifles. Two months ago.
Holmes said, the United States tried
TO buy them but they were not pro-
duced. Holmes had been in touch
with United States officials through
out the negotiations. he said.
Lussing Has Secret
Gustav Lussing was named by
Holmes the the man who was said
by various Intermediates to be able
to deliver the goods. Judd told
Holmes the rifles had been in an
East Side warehouse in New York
and had been removed, but were
within an automobile ride of an
hour and a half from Broadway
Charles H. Murray. a hotel owner
OF washington, D. c., testified he
had heard of the existence of the
rifles through a Russian agent. Ivan
Norodny, who claimed they had been
taken to an upstate New York farm
and that he had shot one of them
hlmself. Norodyn said Lussing had
farm at Woodbury. Falls and that
party of German officers, including
'oaptaln Hans Tauscher. had visited
II after dining at the German Club
in New York. Through Norodnv
Murray met Lussing and was shown
an ltemized statement of the ouan-
uty or rifles hidden. as follows: 450. =
900 Mauser, 250.00O.OOO cartridges.
100000 carbines. 1000 rounds cart
ridges 100000 rifles, coo machine
guns.
Lussing, according to the witness,
sald they We're stored in forty diff
Ierent places in the United States.
Robert I. Tucker. a tanner of
charleston, S. c., testified of hearing
OF the rifles through his acquaint-
ance with Russians in business. Judd
told tucker. he said. he had seen
cannon and rifles at a warehouse in
Brooklyn. According TO the wit
ness a New York lawyer finally told
MIN the rifles had been sold.
l., am thoroughly convinced tha
those rifles are in this country and
that Lussing knows where they are

NEGRO SELECTMAN CARRIES
HIS UMBRELLA TO ARMY CAMP

ATLANTA, Ga, May IA negro
selectman from south Georgia coun-
ty reported for duty at Camp Gordon
with a big umbrella under his arm.
The receiving officer told him he
wouldn't have any use for that imple-

back from the trenches in France. The
negro was at loss to understand that
a soldier never carries an umbrella.
"Boss, you mean to say Use got to

way you can help abundantly."
The girls complied with that advice,
but they did not stop at that. They
started Victory Garden-a big one

an active and energetic interest in
it. The fact that they were in col

practically all their time was no OBJ

CAVE-MAN HUSBAND
INSTEAD OF LOVER
Is KIND that Wins

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE great
mistake | made was that for twenty
years | played the devoted lover,
whereas l should have been the cave
man. William Grant Brown said to
a reporter, summing up the matri-
monial experience. about to culminte
in Reno suit for divorce. Mrs.
Brown, president of the State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, has gone to
Reno, Nevada, to bring action.
For twenty years" the reformer
and civic worker said, as he paced
the floor of his law office in the Wool
worth building, 81 yielded to Mrs.
Browns wishes on every matter per-
tanning to our married life. I had no
other desire that to make her happy.
"She was ambitious She wanted
a career in public life Although this
naturally meant some sacrifice of the
things that go to make up the home
life of the average man, | gladly Sec
onded her hopes and encouraged her
in every way l could Indeed, with
out wishing to seem vainglorious,
can say that it was I who gave her
her first instruction in the great broad
principles that underlie the woman
suffrage movement.
when we were first married she
was like a child in her views on the
questions of the day. But she learned
rapidly and soon began to taste the
fascination of public life. Then her
ambition grew beyond all bounds Of
reason, but still l went on, blindly
encouraging her and backing her up
in everything she did, not seeing, as
| should have seen, that my course
would inevitably lead to-this!
Incompatibility! the lawyer ex-
claimed bitterly" That, am now told,
is to be Mrs. Browns reason in court
for wanting a divorce. What does
incompatibility mean? 1 had always
thought in a vague sort of way, it
meant a condition in which two peo-
ple's ideas and ways Of life differed so
radically as to make it impossible for
them to get along tobether. But I
give you my word, until Mrs. Browns
father and mother came to me the
day after her departure and told me
that was why she had gone west.
could not have even imagined that the
word could apply to anything in our
life together.
well, the long and short OF 1t was
that I didn't know anything about
women. I've learned lot in the last
month. Instead of idealizing Mrs.
Brown and deluding myself with the
supreme confidence that whatever she
did was all right and beyond ques-
ton I should have taken her firmly
in hand and managed her as most men
manage their wives"
