Since Urlch's arrest last week the
State police who are stationed at Pax

Among the names secured by Corporal

side of the park on the night of May
.10. 1914. with Amos Plummer, 1407
Regina street, a lad of her own years,
when a man stopped them and. taking
hold of the girl, dragged her into the
bushes. The holdup man chased young
Plummer away. The lad ran for help
nnd found B. Frank Rohrer, 23 North

was night watchman at a steam shovel

siarted back in the direction of where
the Gross girl had been dragged and
when they neared the spot the man

efforts to trace him failed.

| Have You Registered in the Wharton School? |
There were 126 students upon the rolls of the Harrisburg extension course of the SB
= WHARTON SCHOOL at the inauguration of the new school year last evening.
These 126 young men and women well deserve the warm congratulation of your emi- SB
S nent citizens who last evening, wished them great success in their work. They have dis- jE|
as played the initiative and alertness to prepare far the future—to invest in themselves. Our ==
= students realize that this is the day of the trained man and woman. If they persevere, they
ss; are bound to succeed —for initiative, application, and perseverance, coupled with thorough, BS
sa systematic-training, is an invincible combination.
Harrisburg has witnessed an unique educational campaign. Our new students have come Ei
as to us, in many cases, because of the indefatigable work of those who have been enrolled as
BS for the last year. Nothing finer has ever been seen in Harrisburg than the entirely volun- BS
s= tary and enthusiastic work by our students to the end that others might come to know of EE
EE the opportunities which they have found so valuable. It is typical of the traditions of the S
EE WHARTON SCHOOL.
Do you realize that these 126 young men and women are destined to be the future S
as business leaders of Harrisburg? Do you realize that they are regarded by the present busi- SB
as ness leaders as one of Harrisburg's most valuable assets?
Are you always going to be satisfied to bs a cog-in-a-machine?

Washington, Oct. 12. A demand
upon all Americans, on pain of ostra
cism, to be more than neutral In re
gard to the European war, to take
their stand for America first, last and
all the time, was voiced by President
Wilson yesterday in a speech at the
celebration of the 25th anniversary of
the founding of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. The United
States, the President said, was not
merely trying to keep out of trouble,
but was trying to preserve the founda
tions upon which peace could be re
built.
"Peace can be rebuilt," the Presi
dent said, "only upon the ancient and
accepted principles of international
law; only upon tlioße things whi'-h
remind nations of their duties to each
other and, deeper than that, of their
duties to mankind and humanity.
America has a great cause, which is
not confined to the American contin
ent. It is the cause of humanity it
self."
