Premier Paderewski's inability to

Nine Hundred Motor Trucks
Have Begun Movement to
Bridgehead Area
HINES SUMMONED, TOO
By Associated Press.

Coblenz, May 22.-Lieut. General
Hunter Liggett, commander of the
Army of Occupation, and Major Gem
eral John Hines, commander of the
Third Corps, who were on their way
to London, yesterday were recalled
to Coblenz by orders from American
general headquarters.
Motor Trucks Move
Nine hundred motor trucks began
to move Tuesday midnight from
west of the Rhine to the bridgehead
area. The trucks are being distri-
buted to various points of advantage
among the troops holding the zone
east of the Rhine should the occasion
arise for the Americans to start an
advance.
The recall of Generals Liggett and
Hines, it was learned in Coblenz, is
part of the new program for the
American Army if the Germans do
not accept the Treaty.
Army Being Held
The composite regiment of the
Third Army, which was organized
for participation in the empire fes-
tivities in London, in which Cen
erals Liggett and Hines were also
to take part, is being held in Coblenz
because of the new turn in the peace
situation. The regiment may be sent
to London and Brussels as intended
if the Peace Treaty is signed within
the next few weeks.
The movement of the motor
trucks continued throughout We'd
nesday and most of Wednesday
night.
Because of increased indications
of friction between German civilians
and soldiers throughout the Amer
lean area of occupation, American
officers to-day warned the burgo-
masters and other German oihclals
that they would be held responsible
for any violence of any attempts at
destruction of American Army prop
erty.
The American officers ordered the
German officials to caution the cl-
villains through the newspapers and
otherwise that any resentment dis
played by civilians toward the SOL
deirs would not be tolerated and
that serious results might follow If
the Germans should persist in the
attitude exhibited recently in various
parts of the area of occupation.

DIR. KALBFUS WANTS TO SEE
THE WOLVES FARMER SHOT
State Game Commission Can't Understand How It's Posi-
BILE When There Are None Alive

DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, head of the
State Game Commission. sat in his
office at the Franklin Building to-
day utterly unperturbed by the news
from Greensburg, Pa, that Harvey
Dixon, farmer, had run into a
pack of wolves which were headed
this way and that he shot one. The
alarming news also mentioned that
another farmer nearby came close
up on three of the demons. and only
by desperate and immediate help
from his neighbors was saved from
being chewed up.
IF that farmer sends me the car
cass of this alleged wolf spoke DIR.
Kalbfus with some spirit. 81 will
have it tested, but you can be sure
he shot no wolf. If the announce
ment of President Wilson that beer
and wine are coming back has this
effect, certainly the Game Commits
sion is not responsible.
But Greensburg and the rest of
the State need fear no outbreak of
wolves.
What these farmers saw, no doubt
were wild dogs. The wolf has been
extinct since 1860. l remember the

Here's a Chance to Find
Soldier Minus War Cross

If there be any modern Sherlock
Holmes in Harrisburg, he may be
interested in turning his talent TO
the solution of mystery which de-
veloped yesterday, All hands who
have attempted to find an answer
to the problem have failed signally.
A certain family uptown left home
early in the afternoon with all the
doors locked, windows closed, and
the faithful cook in the kitchen
preparing the evening repast. 3
o'clock the house was closed. At .
two hours later, the family returned
and discovered lying on desk in
the living room, a French croiX de
guerre, of the ordinary or garden
variety.
The medal had apparently been
worn by a returned soldier, but 1t has
been established that no one entered
the house between those hours and
every individual within disclaims any
knowledge of the mysterious decora-
ton. The croix de guerre has been
turned over to the Telegraph for
the time being and any claimants
for the lost article may prove their
claims by visit to the business office
of this newspaper.

ZION LUTHERAN
CHURCH BROKEN

Entrance to More In
viting Field
STORE PLUMBER SOUGHT
Discovered Hammering Away
at Fan in Road to Greeks
Confectionery

An attempted robbery of Zion Luz
theran Church in Fourth street. the
second church robbery in this sec
ton within the past two days. was
reported to Harrisburg police this
morning. No booty was taken by the
intruder.
Robbery of the church is believed
by the Harrisburg police to have
been but the secondary aim. That
the desire of the robber was to enter
and ransack the Greek American
store. 400 Market street, the rear of
which adjoins the church property,
is the opinion expressed to-day by
the police.
When discovered the man was
standing on a chair the only thing
taken from the church, battering
away at a fan in the store with a
long piece of pipe. The discovery
was made by Tony Deconte, whose
rooms are located on the second
floor of South Fourth street build
ing. Deconte called to the man. He
left but returned when everything
became quiet again.
Tried to Break Fan
Deconte called a second time to
the man after he had battered away
at the fan for some time and this
time he fed precipitately. leaving
his Jimmy" chair and all where he
had been using them. The incident
was reported to the police this morn
ing.
The fan of the Greek American
was shattered. 1t is believed to have
been the purpose of the man to
break off one of the four arms of the
fan, which would have permitted
him to gain entrance to the store.
Entrance to the church was gain
ed by forcing one of the rear win
dows open with n brakeshoe key,
used as jimmy. Several desks were
ra nsacked and various articles were
thrown about. but nothing was
ia ken
