Returned Lieutenant Tells HOAV the Soldiers Were Served Overseas "Don't believe all this criticism of the Y. M. C. A'v overseas. Some of it is just, but there is a great deal that is unjust," suid Lieutenant Har old D. Saylor, recently returned from service overseas, speaking be fore the businessmen's gymnasium I class in the Central A'. M. C. A. last ■ night, when the members gathered [ for a sauerkraut and roast pork supper. Lieutenant Saylor praised the work of the "A"' overseas in glowing terms. "The 'Y' has huts where the lumbermen cut wood: they havo secretaries on the front line and in the seaports and everywhere they can possibly put them when there are men enough to act. AA'e liad a secretary in our regiment who marched with us everywhere we went. He was one of the brnv - men in our organization and .y --body loved him." The lie nant told how his men hadn't eaten from 4 o'coclt on the afternoon of July 17 until the next afternoon, when a" big Y. M. C. A. truck drove up and secretaries threw us chocolate, cookies, sardines and other things to eat. They didn't charge a cent. "We couldn't get along without the *Y.\" continued Lieutenant Say lor. "There were cases where there was a breakdown, of course, but these were rare. Don't let them criticise the 'Y' men. It's been a big help to us." The sauerkrautfest last night was a novel affair, unique even in the history of the Y. M. C. A. of Har risburg, where novelties are a daily feature. AA'lth prominent business men such as Willard S. Y'oung and B. F. Barker as.waiters, purveying sauerkraut and mashed potatoes to the hungry hordes, it was pro nounced "the best stunt yet." The businessmen's gymnasium class is made up of many prominent businessmen of the city. Many of these were present last night. C. AV. Burtnett threw a bomb into the as semblage when he announced that a membership campaign will be opened Tuesday. He singled out B. F. Barker, of the Miller Auto Company, and Frank F. Davenport, the architect of appetites, as cap tains from the businessmen's gym class and called on them for speeches. Davenport made a mod est little talk and called on Barker, who briefly' sketched his sincere ap preciation of the benefit the "Y" had been to him. "Dr. Becht's pub lic speaking class helped me more than a year at college," he declared. "Same here!" chimed in a score of "Y" enthusiasts, looking up from the feast. Just at this moment, Samuel Klompus, enterprising news boy who holds down the corner of Second and Walnut streets, rushed madly into :he room, crying "Extra! Extra! All about the great Y. if. C. A. scandal!" Every one perked up and "Sammy" reaped a harvest of nickels, dimes and quarters as he tossed out copies of the latest extra edition of the Harrisburg Telegraph containing a tale about the supper. "Great Scott! Those fellows sure are up-to-date," frhout ed Ross Swope, whose name was mentioned in the story. Casting a belligerent look at Gus M. Stein metz, managing editor, he accused him of the crime until some one pointed out Allen Sangree, busily picking out pork and sauerkraut at the next table. "Ah, it was you, was it?" said Swope. But Sangree Puts an End to Catarrh Nuisance A Direct and Simple Way That May Be Adopted with but Little Cost . If you are constantly catching cold and doing a lot of coughing and spit ting you can tdke it for granted that you have chronic catarrh.
