German Ships on Peace Board
The subject of the German ships,
both mercantile and naval, is again
being pressed upon the attention of
the peacemakers. 1t seems that Po-
land is claiming some of the war
ships which Germany surrendered
having presented her case in this
respect to the Council of Foreign
Minister'S.
To-days Paris advices also report
renewed efforts by the British dele
cation to secure the pooling of for
mer German merchant vessels. 1t
is sought to have them distributed
in accordance with tonnage losses
by the various nations during the
war. This would throw the ships
interned in the United States prior
to Americas entry into the war into
the pool. instead of their all being
retained by this country.

before the dinner was served. Chair
man Stackpole also emphasized that
this drive to firmly finance the Salvation
Army would completely eliminate the
"tambourine" stuff and all asking for
aims. excepting for the Christmas Dln-
ner.
With this understanding he called
upon Mayor Keister who said the Army
had always done good work in Harris
burg being active in pleading at police
court taking responsibility off its hands
and he concluded with NO organization
in the country needs our help more than
this one"
The rare enthusiasm of beginning this
campaign was marked by all and good
humored cooperation is n certainty.
Capt Stackpole will have an uncommon
program of unique events to be an
nounced later. but it safe to say that
the doughnut will get on the map as
never before. Everybody knows the
story of the Salvation Army doughnut-

can doughboy. hungry, his mind and

veritable poor relation of the pastry
cooks family. Her thought was an in
piration-nothing less. The story of
that first batch OF doughnuts. fried
hastily over little wood fire behind the
trenches of France, spread all over the
world. The American soldier found in
these doughnuts more than the little
bite to eat" which that Salvation Army
girl intended them merely to be. The
homely doughnut was comfort to the
soldiers soul 1t transported him mag
ically from the raging inferno of the
battlefields of Europe to the peace of his
own home, fixed his thoughts on the
things he was fighting for, heartened
him and gave him the courage to laugh
at the trenches. to carry out, bravely
and unswervingly, thc purpose which
had brought him to Europe.
Fred. c. Whitney, state organizer
from Philadelphia. explained succinctly
the significance of this drive and what
the Army contemplates by telling first
that Harrisburg alone sends a heavy
contribution of women each month to
rescue homes. where they get the best
of medical attention from Army doctors.

You may have a good appetite and

NAL health. but if YOU are thin and
rundown the reason for it is that
YOU get no rourishment from the
food you eat A weakened digestive
system which does not take nourish-

up the nourishment contained in
Father Johns Medicine. because the
real food elements of this old-fash-

solid flesh and tissue. This enables
the system to resume its normal
functions and a steady gain in

Proposed expenditures for the

by the budget committee of the city
school board showing the available
revenue at u mills and the amount
of the deficit which will exist next
year are published in detail to-day

This plan was decided upon by
the board in order to convince tax
payers of the city that the budget
committee has arranged only for
the necessary expenses of the dis
trict, and to show just where the
big increases in school operation
costs are, so that the public can
understand the need for an increase
in the tax rate of at least l y and
possibly mills.
The budget has not been approved
finally. but il is understood in Off
cial circles that such action is to be
taken on Friday, at the regular meet
ing. The tax rate may be fixed at
the same session. and from present
indications ii will be rasied to 1Sn

dent of cambridge, was shot to
death and robbed yesterday after
noon by a negro. who secured en-

murdered. A fireman on a passing
Pennsylvania locomotive was the
only witness to the murder and re-
ported the case to the police.
The body of Eschenhauer was found
by passersby.

OF increases in expenditures in the
larger items OF the budget over the
school year 191S-191s is given as fol-
lows: For operation OF intermediate
or Junior high schools, SS0,656; in
crease IN teachers salaries, Ss2.774:
advance in cost OF coal, $500; op-
Grafton and maintenance of all build
ings, s11.6ls; cost of supplies, s10.-
02S; sinking fund ana interest
charges, s10,045.
In reviewing the financial situa-
ton OF the last few years Secretary
D. D. Hammelbaugh furnished the
following information: In 1914
1915 with a tax rate of "a mills
there was deficit of $3.50, $3.50
higher than the previous year. The
mill rate for the next year was kept
at the same figure Notwithstanding
this deficit and a larger increase in
the estimated expenditures with the
result that in 1915-1916 the deficit
grew to Sl13, ,412.
The next year the board in
creased the mill rate to 10 mills in
order to take care OF increased eN-
penditures, and this large deficit
which was reduced during 1916
1917 to S44,353. For 1s17-1s1S the
tax rate was retained at 10 mills re-
gardless of this deficit, the provi-
sions of a new teachers salary sched-
ule and the enormous increase in
the cost of supplies and fuel due to
war conditions, with the result that
the deficit was increased instead of
being wiped out.
For l91S-1919 the mill rate was
increased TO HE but teachers sal
aries were increased to the extent
of $4,000; janitors. $4,000; interest
on bonds. $4,000: sinking fund
charge, $4,000. as wei las an addi-
tional advance in the cost of sup
plies and fuel with the result that
the deficit for this year will likely
reach 100000.
A comparison of the larger eN-
penditures in the appropriations for
the closing school year and the 1919
1920 season showing the amount of
the increases follows:
