SWAT THE FLY"
IS CRY OF NEW
HEALTH CRUSADE
Anti-Tuberculosis Society Re-
quests Early Slaughter
- of Disease-Carriers
"Swat the Fly"


This is the cry heard from the
Anti-Tuberculosis Society of Harris
burg and vicinity, which is already
starting it's campaign against the
disease carrier that they may be kill
ed before they have multiplied to any
great extent
The society will carry out its cam
paign largely through its organi-
cation of school children of the
county, The Modern Health Cru
saders" as they have been termed
by the officials of the society. In
struction has been given by officials
of the society to the children that
the insect causes the death of more
people than all of the beasts and rep
tiles of the jungles.
The campaign provides for the de-
struction of all possible fiy-breeding
nests. The society says that many
of the flies that have survived the
winter have already laid their eggs
and urged n cleanup OF possible har-
bors of eggs at once.
This campaign is in line with one
inaugurated by Mayor keister after
conference with State Health De-
partment officials. He has requested
the city health department to make
Investigations and take steps to over
come nusiances which are possible
fly breeding nests, at once. 1t is un-
derstood, also, that the Civic Club
will conduct it's usual Swat the Fly

SUPPORTS ITALY'S
CLAIM FOR FIUME
Rev. Lewis Harnish Says Will

Stand

president Wilson has made a seri-
Gus and tragic mistaken which may
cause the withdrawal of Italys
friendship for America though many
generations"
The speaker was Rev. Lewis Har-
nish an alumnus of Franklin and
Marshall College and Seminary who
graduated at the latter institution
in the same year with the Rev. Mann

and who waS chosen by the Y. NJ. c.
A. shortly after America declared
war, to re<resent that activity at
Florence. Italy. Rev. Harnish came
from Huntingdon county stock, of
good, old Reformed Church faith, the
family being identified with farming
a brother. William, is now a promi-
nent lawyer in Lancaster and his
brother-in-law is Rev. Homer Skyles
May, pastor of the Fourth Reformed
Church at Market and Sixteenth
streets, where Rev. Harnish last
night addressed the audience.
After a period of hard work in
remote section of this State. Rev.
Harnish was called to the city of
Hartford. Conn.,, where he has long
been the head of that city's social
service functions. From there he
responded to the Y. NJ. c. A. call, and
retulned only yesterday morning for
brief visit here.
Rev. Harnish consented to talk
with a Telegraph representative from
the single motive of truth as he sees
it and with the very keen desire
| that America should get a real under
standing of the Italian attitude in
the present agitation. At the head
of the great "Y' work in his district
he explained that in the course of
one year and a half he personally
shook hands with perhaps, two and n
half million Italians, soldiers and
civilians. Being a responsive person
and accustomed to dealing with facts
in his social labors at Hartford, he
| concentrated on gathering facts.
"The peasants of Italy are chill

ITO estimate the spirit which
moves the country in this crisis one
should know that the first people to

Many marks of this Industrious race
are still to be seen, and their pro-
gressive spirit is still the foundation
of this race, cropping up at Just such

this ancient sentiment; GaribaIdi

FAMINE GREETS
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
RETURNING HOME
Peasants Eat Oats and Make
Bread Out of
Straw

With American Forces i'm North
Russia, April 2S.-Russian soldiers
returning from Germany to their
homes in Northern Russia find their
fatherland vastly changed since they
went to war. Scores of these SOL
diers are passing through the Boil
shevik lines and making their way
to the American and other Allied
outposts.
They tell tales of pitiful suffering
from hunger in the villages through
which they passed. One of them. f.
Evlampieff, of Archangel, thus de-
scr!bes his experiences when he re-
turned from Germany:
AT Petfograd, we were sent to
barracks, where n Bolshevik COM
missar started to read us the Soviet
program. The prisoners protested.
Give up first something to eat,
and then read us your program
they cried.
Then the commissar gave up try
ing to read the program, saying we
were not fit elements for propaganda
and left us. Each of us received 25
. rubles in advance on his salary.
! uIIhu Up oatS
| Famine was reigning in Petro-
grad. The first category (working
people of Bolshevik sympathies) re-
ceived one pound of oats daily. The
second category received one-half
pound. The citizens grind the oats
in coffee mills, to make -four for
bread. For Christmas the Petrograd
inhabitants received two potatoes for
each person. A slice of bread is sold
for 25 rubles. There was no to-
bacco. People smoked cabbage and
nettle.
THE situation at Vologda was the
same as in Petrograd. 1t was fam
inc and the population stood in line
for bread sometimes for two days
There was no private commerce. The
shows were empty"
Bread From Straw
On his way from Vologda toward
Archangel a commissar tried to coax
Evlampieff into serving in the Red
Army and, on his refusal sent him
back to Vologda. A peasant hid him
in a load of hay and carried him to
his uncles home in Torozk. In the
villages he passed through, he said
there was famine. The peasants cut
straw, cook it and make bread
! Eventually after a long journey or
foot through the snow Evlampiefi
reached his home in Archangel.
When such prisoners reach the
territory of the Provisional govern
ment of the North they are cared for
as we'll as possible. Many of them
voluntarily have joined the White
Guard Army because of their hatred
of the Bolshevik.

CHANCES GROW
FOR AGREEMENT
Senator Penrose Awaits De-
velopments in Charter Mat
ter; to See the Governor

: Opinion was prevalent on Capitol
Hill to-day that there was a chance
for some agreement on the Philadel-
phia charter bills so that their course
might be smoother than anticipated
forty-eight hours ago and avoid
mussing up the State legislative pro-
gram.
This was based upon the statement
that Senator Penrose was not inclin-
ed to fight an amendment to the bills
allowing municipal work to be done
by contract if three-fourths of the
council and the mayor agree. The
Senator stands firm on the rest.
Senator Ware has not spoken pub
licly on this proposition and the Gov
ernor has not been heard from. Both
are looked for later in the day.
Senator Ware is expected to speak
his mind in regard to the District
Attorney and other bills in the SEN
ate tonight and the Senator has
withheld comment until he does so.
There is considerable comment in
the Legislature about the reference
of the latest liquor bill presented by
Representative w. T. Ramsey, of
Delaware. to the judiciary general
committee. Other liquor bills have
gone to the law and order commit
tee which plans a general cleanup
Tomorrow and will report out the
Vickerman and Fox prohibition reg
ulators and negative the Ramsey
"2& per cent" bill. The second
Ramsey bill is almost the same thing
and this gives it a chance in the ju-
dietary general committee.
Governor Sprouts stand is against
the State defining what shall consti-
tute drink with a kick" and the
Ramsey bill will likely be vetoed if it
ever gets to him.
Between the charter and the liquor
bills chances for the session ending
in May are growing dim and up State
members are not very we'll pleased
with the prospects.

Useless Matter Sent by

ton of business messages. are clogged

Washington are shooting money out

statement issued yesterday by former
Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Nc
Claim, now director of the State Council
of National Defense.
Triplcation of messages that are
positive subtractions from the sum OF
human knowledge" are daily occur
rences, according to Mr.. McClain, who
protests against the continuance of the
activity of dead relics of the belliger-
ent era"
Not a word of protest has ever been
recorded by Postmaster General Burle-
son against the abuse of the wires and
the mails. Mr.. McClain declares
Most of the abuse comes about be-
cause bureau heads at Washington re-
fused to heed notices that state Coun-
ellis of National Defense had isbanded
after the armistice, he says. Notifica-
ton was sent in December that the
Pennsylvania Council of National De-
fense intended to demobiize its $4,000
workers February l at the latest, but
form letters and kilograms are still
pouring into the offices OF Mr.. McClain

up the wire service in Pennsylvania,
to the disadvantage of business enter
prises. Most of these suggestions that
come from Washington at the present
time, both by mail and by wire, have
no real value, and many of them are
positively subtractions from the sum
of human knowledge said Mr.. McClain.
Possibly there are some states in the
Union that had, as compared with
GNr1Nrania limitation rhOn
copy state councils of national defense
that are still in existance in name, but
Pennsylvania during the time of war
had real council of defense that rem
dered real service, and we cannot help
but feel that the variety of boards,
bureaus and commissions which the war
emergency gave birth to at Washington
have outlived their usefulness, and that
those at the head of the same in most
instances are dead and don't know it.
OF course. we agree that these eX-
tinct specimens of a belligerant era
should be given a decent burial, but
in the same breath. in the interest of
national economy, we feel that the eX-
penditures involved in the practices
herein recited should come TO an end.
That money should no longer be shot
out of fourteen-inch guns and that for
the good of the state and the nation,
the early internment OF many of the
national boards. bureaus and commits
sions is imperative"

economic dominance, manufacturing
practically all the goods used there
and manipulated all finance. Her
traitors teemed in every village, cul-
tivating the populace to Germany's
desires.
Unfortunately, the Italians are
poor propagandists. What they need
is a live American to show them the
benefits of a systematic publicity
which will bring other peoples to this
splendid country. Their fault is that
they have no patience with other ma
tions who do not understand them.
But there is a deeper feeling of fell
lowship of this country than l have
observed any where. The whole pop
ulation loves it's country, loves it pa
thetically, and until this crisis it
loved America with about the same
intensity. The Y men with me and
1 myIrlf, were affected almost to
tears at their demonstrations. That
is the real substance of the Italian.
I attended many gatherings where
the spirit of Garibaldi, Mazzini. Ca
YOUR prevailed and thousands raised
their wonderful voices in that ma
tional song they sing. The Bells of
San Juisto,' sounding the hour when
slavery shall cease. 1 believe this
country is ready for republicanism."
Speaking of Italy's claim for FL
ume, Rev. Harnish explained: 1T is
just the same to Italy as the Monroe
Doctrine is to Uncle Sam; or perhaps
to make the comparison more nearly
it is the same as Alsace-Loraine to
the French. That section on the 9TH
er shore of the Adriatic was Italian
from an early day as AIsace was
French. The Germans conquered and
tried to grow their language there,
but it did not wholly succeed. The
feeling Italy has for this territory is
precisely identical with that which
the French have for Alsace-Loraine." +"
