SEEKING NEW QUARTERS

The State Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings to-day
announced that rather than pay
eXtortionate rentals for office
and storage room when the
policy of concentrating offices of the
state government in Harrisburg goes
into effect the commonwealth will
erect temporary office buildings in
Capitol Park extension. Inquiries
have already been made at Wash
ington as to cost of some of the tenn
porary office buildings erected in
that city to house bureaus created
after the outbreak of the war.
1t is the plan to bring here in the
next year number of officers now in
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other
places and when the new office build
ing is completed 1t will take core Of
some of them. Governor Sp-oul in
announcing his plan a short time ego
estimated that the State could have
$4,000 year now spent In rentals
by constructing additional office
buildings here.
Want Fair Rents
The Board officials say that they
will accept fair and reasonable rent
ais to rule until the additions TO the
Capitol are completed, but that If
attempts to raise too high we're made
leases would be cancelled.
Efforts are now being made to Sc
cure a place for the State Board
of Moving Picture Censore, whose
offices have been ordered here from
Philadelphia.
The Harrisburg Chamber Uf Com
merce has offered its co-opera ton in
the effort to find suitable quarters
for offices to be moved here and to
obtain reasonable rentals.

TO NAME GREAT
NEW CARGO SHIP
HARRISBURG G.
City Wins Honor For It's Low
atty in Liberty Loan
Campaigns

For its excellent work during the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive when the
quota assigned to the district was
far surpassed, the Harrisburg dis
trict has earned the right to name
one of the twenty cargo ships to be
named by the divisions of the Third
Federal Reserve District, it has just
been learned. Included within the
district are Dauphin, Perry and
Juniata counties.
Lively interest has been aroused
by the announcement, too, that Il
girl of the district is to be named
as sponsor to serve. at the christen-
ing of the ship. Information that
the district had been selected to
name and to have christened one of
the ships was received this morning
by the committee who directed past
Liberty Loan drives in the district
from officials in charge of the drive
in the Third Federal Reserve Dis
trict.
The name selected for the ship,
the Reserve District committee
rules, shall be compound one. The
first part of the name shall be Vic
tory, with the selection of the re-
mainder of the name left to the To-
cal committee.
The time of holding the event has
not been definitely selected and
neither has the place for holding it.
The christening will take place, it
is known, however, at either Hog
Island, Chester or Bristol.
Harrisburg now has one of the
big troop transports named in it's
honor. The Harrisburg is running
regularly between New York and

Berlin, March 13.-Spartacan
forces, under pressure from govern
ment troops using artillery and mine
throwers, were abandoning their po-
sitions in Lichtenberg yesterday
The government forces took a large
number of prisoners, many of whom
were executed summarily.
The government troops entered
Lichtenberg after bombarding heav-
lily the main Spartacan nests. The
Spartacans fled, leaving behind them
their weapons and ammunition. The
suburb is surrounded by government
troops. and the only chance the
Spartacans have of escape Is by dis
carding their weapons and conceal
ing their identity by mingling with
the peaceable inhabitants.

Nearly Every Infantry and

Get Glimpse of Germany

Here's your chance to go TO Ger

"Ninety-nine chances out of
hundred are that every man who en-
lists in the infantry or the field ar
tillery will be sent to join the army
of occupation as soon as he gets his
preliminary training at Columbus
barracks" said Colonel Kemper, in
charge of the United States army
recruiting office here this morning.
There is a big demand for men
overseas" continued Colonel Kemp
err" There are in the army of oc-
cupation thousands of men with
dependents at home who are trying
to get their discharge. But they can
not be released until requirements
have been received and these re-
placements are being made up OF

A lot of young fellows who failed
to get across during the war are
sorely disappointed and are taking
advantage of the present oppor-
tunity."
Men have gone to Columbus every
day since the office was opened here.
Two commissioned officers came in
yesterday and enlisted as privates
in order to go back into the SER
vice and overseas for the experience
they failed to get during the war
period. Men who have seen service
may enlist for one year, others for
three years without reserve require

having been lieutenant colonel of the
old Eighth Regiment at the border
and Regular Army instructor of in
fantry in the National Guard, is we'll
pleased with the results of his re-
cruiting efforts up TO this time.

SWEDEN CLOSED ITS
GATES TO WILHELM
Herr Hoenzollern, Two Months Before the Armsce Was
Signed, Saw Handwriting on the Wall

The castle is owned by old friends,
Prince and Princess Wedel.
Preparations for his reception are
said to have gone so far that vast
sums were spent in putting the castle
in repair, and comment was criti-
cal in the vicinity because of the
scarcity and cost of materials in
Sweden at that time.
When the Swedish government
learned the purpose to which the
castle was to be put, representations
were made and William Hohenzol-
lern changed his plans, with the re-
suit that in a few weeks he fled to
another castle in Holland.

BUILDING TRADES
WORKERS DELAY
WAGE SCHEDULE
Meeting of Local Unions Has
Been Called For March %
to Decide Rates

Building trades workers of the
city, carpenters, bricklayers, plumb
ers and masons are undecided con-
cerning the proposed increased rate
scale which it had been decided to
put into effect this spring. 1t is in
timated by some that there may be
no increase asked.
The announcement was made sew
eral months ago that members of
the four craftsmen unions located
here would demand that they be
given more money for their work.
No definite action has yet been
taken on the matter, and the men
themselves are somewhat undecided
over the situation, it is said.
Meeting Planned
At the Offices Of the Pennsylvania
Federation of Labor In Locust street,
it was said to-day that definite ac-
ton en- the proposed rate increase
cannot be taken until the next meet
ings of the four crafts. There are
scheduled to take place on Sunday,
March 23, when the actual change
in rates, il any, is expected to be
decided on.

rates, if made, will be put into ef
fecl until May / at least, officials at
the offices believe. Some men have
desired to have increased rates eff
fective April 10, but officials are of
the opinion that no change can be
made until the later date.
Just to what extent the present
rates would be increased has not
been made known, but it is believed
that the craftsmen will receive a
substantial increase If the scale
which is being championed, becomes

HELP YOURSELF,
PLEA OF INCOME
TAX EXPERTS
Corps of Collectors Swamped
With Men Seeking
Advice

Appeals have been made to resi-
dents of the city who must file in
come tax returns that whenever pos
sible they should fill out the blanks
and not call to see the deputy col,
iectors at the federal building un-
less absolutely necessary.
A corps of collectors are working
from early morning until midnight
and even later at the Harrisburg
Post Office and in nearby towns in
an effort to accommodate all the
persons applying at these places for
aid in making returns so that all of
these will be filed by Saturday.
To-day scores of persons crowded
the halls at the federal building
waiting in line and during the morn
ing and early afternoon hundreds
of returns were filed in entirely by
the collectors. the persons making
them only answering questions. In
many instances persons have exact
records of their gross and net in
comes and are able to compute the
amount of tax due. but instead of
hlling in the necessary blank they
wait in line and then let q deputy
collector do the work.
AS result of this the offices are
crowded and many persons are COM
PEELED to wait sometimes almost half
a day before they get to the deputys
desk. Many others left the offices be-
cause they realized the long wait
before them.
Collectors here said they will do
everything possible to accomm odate
every one coming to the federal
building, but they asked that the
persons who must file returns should
be patient and help as much as pos
sible in doing this work.
Many of the men and women I
believe would have little trouble in
filling out the blank themselves"
one collector said. "If they were to
do this it would save much of our
time to aid the others who do not
understand certain requireme ents.
Many of the persons coming here
have accurate accounts of their
earnings, in a number of instances
representing wages earned during
1918, plus interest on small accounts.
By reading carefully the exemption
clauses and other information on
the return sheets, 1 am positive
they could make the return unas-
sisted and probably compute the
amount of tax they owe. Later IL 1t
should be discovered that the re-
turns are inexact they could file sup
Elemental ones"
