PARIS, April 3.-The council OF
four ID continuing its deliberations
Ia ths deepest secrecy and only guess
eaa b made as TO the prosre" Of
10 lsbars. II Is stated that It has
already concluded it, first survey
u peace conditions and is about TO
10 over the ground more carefully
again. Meanwhile, the debate in the
French chamber shows increasingly
every day that France is becoming ex-
tremeiy weary Of delay, also more
Ind more mys,ified by the TACT that
Dhe questions which concern her most
Sither have not been discussed or
Aeen considered without any reference
whatever TO her opinions.
/ Much Suspicion.
"a There is already so much irrita-
Non and suspicion, no doubt If of a
Temporary nature, that a public opin-
lon OF oil countries will do well TO be
IN its guard against hasty impress
bions. In the French press appeals TO
Premier Ciemenceau to speak frankly
Snd firmly to Premier Lloyd George
Ind President Wilson are becoming
more and more frequent and In the
minds of some Frenchmen there is
kruwing up a feeling that France is
Iot playing the part TO which she is
Satitled in the regulation OF the vic
bory for which she has bled.
There are representatives in Paris
bf every conceivable national move
Snent OF the belligerent world. The
Armenians, Let's, Albanians, Kurds
Esthonians, the Irish, the Lebanon,
iths Ukraine-all have delegates al
the conference. We are further
threatened with missions from White
Russia and the Wcnds Of Saxony.
I. Picturesque Peasants Arrive.
Among the most picturesque Of the
recent arrivals are some peasants o.
characteristic Slav type who have
been brought from the Carpathians tc
help support Polish claims to GER
tain districts of the Austro-Hungar'
ian monarchy. The deputation consist,
of . young parish Priest and two
peasants in homespun jackets anc
round astrakahan caps IRON the re
gons of Orawa and Spiesr which lie
south OF the mining districts OF III,
Duchy OF Tcschen where the Polisl
claims are at variance with those o
he Czecho- -Slovaks. The two peasant
are men who have returned TO thei
ZONES from America after suiii
,ient pile TO buy farms and se,tl
down and have been chosen to rep
resent their oountrymcn owing to thei
knowledge OF English The griey
nnce this quaint delegation presen,
is that in the first place, the provis
ional line drawn by the allies mill
tary mission between Poles and Slo
vaks was unfair to the Poles; second
ly, that Czecho troops have not re
spected the line, but have oocupie
Polish villages beyond it. The sens
of the peasants Of their Polish ma
tionality is evidently very strong on
of them having been to America twic
returning each time to buy it'll
more land for his family. They hav
no rooted feeling Of hostility towar
the Slovaks, they merely do no, war

Although practically all the bars
in the city and county are closed,
proprietors of hotels and saloons still
are optimistic about the removal of
the prohibition ban and with the ex-
ception of about half dozen, all of
them to-day renewed their liquor
licenses for the month of Novem ber.
According to County Treasurer
Mark Mumma only a few have not
paid the monthly license fee for No
vember, and it is believed that by
closing time late this afternoon
every proprietor in the county who
held a license this month. will have
paid the November instalment.
The only hope now of the saloon
men is that Congress will approve
the Peace Treaty and then President
Wilson will declare the war at an
end. This declaration will end the
wartime prohibition period, and
would permit the sale of any kind
of intoxicants until next January
when the constitution amendment
becomes effective.
Prohibition leaders are equally
confident that liquor sales are at
an end and that the saloon is closed
permanently.

MINISTERS TO
THREE WHO DIE
IN DEATH CHAIR
Suburban Pastor Looks After
/ Spiritual Needs of Con-
demned MurdererS

Just tell Brown to get ready to
meet God" was the message Will
liam Evans, colored, sent to Law
renee Brown, just as he was about to
pay the death penalty earlier in the
week for murder.
Brown is in the Dauphin county
degree murder. No date has been
set for his electrocution.
The message from Evans was
brought back from the western peni-
tentiary by the Rev. L. D. Gottschall,
pastor of the United Brethren
Churches at Linglestown and Rock
Vile.
The Rev. Mr.. Gottschall witnessed
the electrocution of Evans and two
men from Lancaster county who
paid the death penalty. The min
ister conducted services with the
men in the morning and acted as
chaplain in the death room, being
assisted by the chaplain at the peni-
tentiary.
Browns reply to the minister
when he brought to him the mes
sage from Evans was: I'm doing
it." The Rev. Mr.. Gottschall has
been visiting the Jail frequently con-
Quoting services with the prisoners.
After the date for Evans electrocu-
ton was set he visited the con-
demned men daily, and went with
him to Rockview, remaining there
until Monday. He said that Evans
maintained until the last that he did
not know whether he had killed
Rufus Gillian. the man he is charged
with numbering.

Dimpled Knees For
School Girls! Not Much

Dimpled knees in the high schools
of Harrisburg! Not If the school au-
thorities have anything to say about
it, and they believe they can prop
erly discipline the student body.
Recently girls of the Lakeville
High school, Chicago, started a fad
which will not be duplicated here
If the authorities can help it. Six
girls appeared in the class rooms at
the Lakeville school with their
stockings rolled halfway to their
ankles. When the other pupils and
teachers discovered it they were
Mortified, and action was taken at
once to end the fad. Now those six
girls are not only wearing their
hosiery full length, but they wear
'em as long and as heavy as they're
made.
1t is the opinion here that the
girls would not attempt "any such
antics" But if they should-well,
they wouldn't try it second time.

tive order fixing maximum prices

~ Associated Press

Indianapolis, Oct. 31.-A tenn
porary injunction obtained here
to-day by the government can
not avert the strike of bitumi-
nous coal miners set for mid
night tonight, according to
John L. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers.
Lewis pronouncement came
shortly after he had been served
with a writ stopping strike ac-
tivities at union headquarters
here.
The, process servers entered
the room where the executive
coard of the union was in ses-
sion and thus served the writ to
23 of the "a members of the
board.
Lewis Bitter
Lewis dictated the following
statement:
Il regard the issuance of this
injunction as the most sweep
ing abrogation of the rights of
citizens guaranteed under the
constitution and defined by stat
utory law, that has ever been is
sued by any Federal Court. This
instrument will not avert the
strike of bituminous mine work
ers and will not settle the strike
after it occurs. The injunction
only complicates to a further de-
gree the problems involved in
an adjustment of the contro-
versy."
Serve Injunctions
Service was had on Lewis, Green
and several other union officials and
members of the executive board, at
union headquarters few minutes
before noon. This was a little more
than an hour after Judge Anderson
signed the order.
Must Withdraw Order
Under the order the union officials
are forbidden to send out any other
orders, written or oral, tending to
promote the strike or in any way
make it effective. They are re-
strained from sending any mes
sages of announcement or eXhorta-
tion," or from disbursing any union
funds as strike benefits.
The government forces moved
swiftly, once their mobilization was
completed by the arrival of Judge
Ames from Washington.
Judge Ames made it plain at the
outset of the brief proceedings that
the action was a government af-
fair, taken at the direction of the
Attorney General, as a measure to
carry out the policy of the country
during a state of war.
Judge A. B. Anderson signed the
order on the showing set forth by

SMALLER ARMY
Declares 275,00O and Possibly
Less Enough; Urges
Citizen Reserve

Washington, Oct. 31.-Disagreeing
with War Department recommended
tions for a permanent Army of 500,-
900 men, General John Pershing to-
day told a joint meeting of the
Senate and House Committees that
he thought the number could be
placed at IAN outside figure of 275,-
900 to 100000 and possibly less"
The cost of maintaining a large
Army, the general said, was an eie-
ment which in his opinion, would
make it impracticable to set the
figure any higher.
The general said the regular Army
should be sufficient to protect the
nation against sudden attack and to
meet Americas international obliga-
tions both on the American conti-
nent and elsewhere and that this
should be backed by trained
citizen reserve"
General Pershing, who appeared at
special session of the Committees
which are considering a permanent
military policy, said universal mill

Mr.. Hoverter incidentally took oc-

effect that he has made promises of
appointments following the election.

"You may say for me, most en-

Protest
ASSERTS RIGHTS
ARE VIOLATED
To Support Miners
in Fight to
Dissolve Act
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 81. Off
cials of the American Fedora
ton of Labor protested to At
torney General Palmer to-day
against the action of the gov
ernment in obtaining an injunc-
ton in the coal strike.
Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation, did not accom-
pany the delegation, but an en-
gagement was made for him to
see the Attorney General later
in the day.
The federation officials de-
clared the injunction violated
the rights of union labor and in
dicated that the coal miners
would have their support in any
fight brought to dissolve the in
junction. Mr.. Palmer reiter-
ated that the government was
proceeding solely against one
union, which he declared, was
trying to violate the law. He
said the right to strike was not
involved.
1t is understood that there
will be no change in the policy
of the government as a result of
the representations of the union
men.
Brotherhoods Present
Representatives of the four
brotherhoods, including Warren
S. Stone, grand chief of the en-
gineers, and L. E. Sheppard,
president of the conductors, ac-
companied the delegation. Their
presence was taken as indicat-
ing that although not affiliated
| with the federation, the broth
| erhoods would give their power
full support to any action union
labor might take.
All the instruments of the Gov
ernment will be brought into play
under plans now drawn if the nation
is actually caught in the thores OF
the strike, to relieve the effect OF
