Greek-Americans to
Petition u. S. Senate

Nicholas Notarys. 317 Market street,
left for Washington to-day with a pc
tition signed by numerous Greeks of
this city, who were soldiers in the
American Army. The petition is to
be presented to President Wilson and
the u. S. Senate along with pc
titions from five hundred other cities
of this country asking them to in
tercede in behalf of the return Of
Thrace and other territory to Greece.
Mr.. Notarys will represent Harris
burg in the general meeting of Greeks
in Washington when they will pre-
sent their claims. The territory un-
der discussion is that which was
given to Turkey by a combination of
European powers in 1927. The lands
nominally remained Greek, however,
and in 1910 Italy took them from Tur-
key, and now wants to hold on to
them.
The petition comes from over 65,-
900 Greeks in the Army. and claims
that the Greeks have a valid claim
to Thrace. Northern Epirus, the II
islands of the Aegean Sea and West
ern Asia Minor. The claim is based
on the principle of nationality as ad-
mitted by the delegates to the Peace
Conference.

Declares Germany Is
Grateful For American
Treatment of Prisoners

Berlin, Monday. Aug. IS. -
America has won the deep gratitude
of Germany for her treatment of
prisoners of war and her labors for
their behalf in Siberia, declared
Daniel Steucklen. member of the
National Assembly and Imperial
com missioner for war and civilian
prisoners, to-day at n meeting of
majority Socialists protesting against
the further retention of German
prisoners in France.
The meeting was the first move by
the Socialists in the plan to bring
women forward as an influence for
the return of prisoners, it being felt
that they can arouse more sympathy
than men. Herr Steucklen blamed
France for the holding of these
prisoners and said the condition of
the men there was bad. He said
the men were treated we'll in Italy,
but that in Japan they were miser-
able, owing to different customs,
habits and methods of housing the
prisoners. He said 200 Americans
working in Siberia among German
and Austrian prisoners are doing
good work. The empire is spending
seven million marks per month for
the maintenance of these prisoners,
in addition to which there are huge
sums available from private charity.

Sneal. Thieves Robbing
City War Gardens

Some of the heavy penalties pro-
vided by law for the despoilers OF
war gardens are about to be i'm
posed upon the sneak thieves who
have twice within q short period OF
time invaded the highlyzcultivated
and successful garden of John M.
Shelly at 2436 North Second street.
Not only did these marauders steal
the best tomatoes of a priced lot
in the first visit, but destroyed the
vines, and on the second trip. a day
or two ago, got away with lot OF
fine or'ons.
There is widespread indignation
over the robbing of these and other
gardens, and steps are being taken
to apprehend the lazy loafers who
reap where they have not sown and
aim to live on the honest efforts OF
industrious citizens, including many
children who have responded to the
appeal of the national and State
food departments to utilize the va
cant lots everywhere to increase the
food supply.

C. OF c. PICNIC
BEBUSY EVENT
The Fun Is Scheduled to Begin
at 1915 p. NJ, Next
Thursday

"Can you imagine what Harris
burg would be like, if more than two
hundred of it's leading citizens, in
Guiding merchants, bankers. railroad
men, lawyers, doctors, and the dis
ciples of nearly every other voca-
ton known in Harrisburg, would
suddenly leave the city?
We'll. that's what is going to
happen this Thursday at a quarter
after twelve o'clock, when the
nual picnic, and that many of it's
members leave the city to take in
the festivities"
This was the declaration made this
morning by a member of the COM
mittee in charge of the event. The
members of the committee. who are
Mercer b. Tate chairman. George y.
Barnes, Boyd NJ. Ogelsby, Martin
w. Eager, and Frank J. Brady, have
been working hard for the event,
for Chamber of Commerce picnics
that nothing is left undone to make
each event come up to the staAdard
set by previous outings.
The fun is scheduled to begin at
1915 O'Clock, Thursday. Many of
the members of the Chamber have
volunteered the use of their auto
mobiles to those who do not drive
cars, and the picnickers will be
loaded into the ears in Market
Square at that time. The trip will
then be made to Guadaloupe, near
Fort Hunter, the summer home of
John w. Reilly, which has been the
scene of previous Chamber outings.
Guadalupe is filled up with the
ghosts of good times the Chamber
of Commerce has had there BEFORE"
chortled a member of the committee
to-day. Were sure to have a rip
roaring afternoon Thursday"
The committee in charge has had
particularly good experience with
one phase of Chamber of Commerce
character as eXemplified in the
members. The committee is the
same one which has charge of the
regular luncheon meetings, and
therefore knows how to make ample
preparation for the viands which
Will augment the stunts, games. and
good time. Just TO prove that lavish
arrangements are being made for
eVerybody's appetite, a well-known
member of the committee confided
to-day that he is going to save up
on his eating for two days, so that
he can enjoy the day all the more.

that same text III Samuel 22nd

fortune teller.
The preacher held before his
