"STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER" RING OUT THE BANDS AS CITY'S GUARDSMEN MARCH GALLANTLY AWAY
HARRISBURG SAY
A PROUD GOOD-B

MANY A TEAR AS
GOOD-BYES ARE SAID
[Continued From First Page]
companies D and I of the same com
mand a tearful, but none the less
hearty "good-by Jim, take keer o'
yourself' as they marched away to
serve Uncle Sam.
If ydu were luckless enough to get
within a block or so of the City Grays'
armory at Second and Forster streets
thii morning any time later than 8:30
o'clock, you were a mighty unfortun
ate soul indeed; because the curbs a
block away was the nearest then that
yon could squeeze in. And if you
weren't on hand for the hour or so
prior to the formal farewell that was
extended by Senator E. E. Reldleman,
you missed a whole lot of that part of
the war's old story of those "who also
serve."
Rut Who Would Sneer!
Grin or sneer, if you will, you
skeptic, at the soft spoken good-bys,
the tears, the furtive display of 'ker
chiefs, the final little talk between
stalwart youth in khaki and the Only
Girl, the evident desire of trig officer
to be off in this or that corner with
that pretty little woman and the baby
coach the fact remains that "going
away" day Is fraught with real and
deep significance to those of Her who
stays behind. Anyhow, nobody cares
if you do sneer, Mr. Skeptic.
The men who marched away to-day
were quieter than usual as they gath
ered at the armory, rolled their tents
and blankets and otherwise prepared
for the "light marching order." Offi
cers* discussed the final details of de
parture; last good-bys were said.
In the Open Spmscs
In the open spaces around the
armory, in the big drill floor upstairs.
her<- and there among the crowded
curbs, wet-eyed maidens who didn't
seem to care one bit whether their
pink noses needed wrist-bag atten
tion or not, said good-by in their own
ways. It's a mighty nice way—so say
the fellows who are going away any
way.
By 9:45 o'clock the gathering hosts
of spectators, civic organizations and
others who were on hand to escort
the departing troops had jammed into
the intersection of Second and Forster
streets. Flags were there a-plenty
ana plenty of cheering, too, and 'ker
chiefs and plenty and plenty of tears
and—prayers. Then- —-
"Here they come!" shouted a tiny
lookout from a telegraph pole.
Companies D and 1 marched out
from their armory into Forster street
Just as Senator Beidleman and Ad
jutant General Thomas J. Stewart
moved to the front of the ranks in
an automobile.
"Godspeed"
The good-by ceremonies were im
pressively simple. Senator Beidleman
stood up in the car, bared his head
and thus voiced Harrisburg's fare
well:
If this country had listened less
to the preaehing of the doctrines
of "peace at any price" and had
given more thought to the great
problem of preparedness you
would not be marching away to
day to face a foe that is certainly
not worthy of your steel.
All Harrisburg and vicinity bid
you a fond adiex to-day with the
hope tliat it may welcome your i
early return.
But, in saying good-by, we give
you "Godspeed" with the knowl
edge that you will never be found
wanting in upholding the honor of
Old Glory and all it stands for. It
has ever lieen thus.
In marching away In answer to
your country's call you who
leave business ami factory and all
that to which you and your fam
ilies depend for your livelihood,—
you go away secure in the as
surance. that your families will
he well taken care of. Your em
ployers, public-spirited as they
are, have gi,vcn you the chance to
serve your country. They liave
given that with the promise that
your positions wIU Ijc awaiting
your return and that those dear
ones you leave at home will be
looked after.
In the name of the people of
Harrisburg and the towns 'round
it is my proud and sad privilege
t>> bid you "Godspeed" and a safe
and early return.
Good-by!
The Hymn of Hymns
As the Senator finished there was
Just the tiniest hush—and then a
nearby band swung majestically into
"The Star-Spangled Banner." As if by
silent command every head in the
crowd and in the long lines of wait
ing civilian organizations was bared.
The khaki-clad troops of Companies
D and I stood grimly at "attention."
About that lime Company B, Car
lisle, and Company C, Chambersburg,
other companies of the Eighth, who
were waiting to entrain for Gretna
with D and I Companies, marched up
to the armory to Join the escorting
column. And they were met, inciden
tally, with the same welcoming cheers,
they got the same farewells.
"Good-by, Little Girl, Good-by"
The Eighth Regiment band, which
had come along down from Carlisle,
added Its music to the mass of bands
and when that crack organization
swung into "Good-by, Little Girl,
Good-by," the quick commands of
waiting officers sent the local com
panies into "Forward, march!" Here

and (here in the crowd mothers and
daughters and wives and "the one glri"
sobbed.
Nor did the Eighth march away
without kindly memory for its one
time colonel—Joseph B. Hutchison,
now the proud bearer of the single sil
ver star of the brigadier-general.
The Last Salute
The Chambersburg company, under
Captain Harmon E. Andrews, remem
bered the days of "Auld Lang Syne"
In a pretty way Just before entraining
for Harrisburg. It marched around to
the house in which General Hutchison
Is so seriously ill—and let loose a
long cheer for Us "old colonel and the
new general." And as it presented
arm a very, very sick man upstairs
Involuntarily lalsed his hand In salute.
The story of the march away from
the armory, of the appearance of the
Governor's Troop—the other "boys"
who are due to go to-morrow—is a
tale that could require columns to tell.
The story would doubtless lack an end
anyway; the finish may yet be written
In the sandn and among the chapparal
across the Rio Grande.

DEPARTING GUARDSMEN

of patriotism throughout the land.
Flags waved, the bands played and
the steady tramp, tramp, tramp of the
marching troopers; the clatter of ac
coutrements and the staccato com
mands of the trim young pfflcers sent
a thrill through tne massed thousands
—and left no doubt that war is near.
One Parade That Started on Time
That military men were in
command of the parade was evident
to the assembled thousands in Second
street and around the Armory when
just a few minutes before 10 o'clock
Captain Frank E. Zeigler of Company
I strode out of the Armory,and flanked
by his trim young lieutenants, faced
his waiting command and called the
roll.
A minute later,he stepped to the left
of the line, snapped a command and
Company I swung out of the Armory
yard into Forster street, there the
trooper stood at attention until
Company D swung the corner and fell
In line immediately in front.
Senator Beidelman completed his
remarks Just as the minute reached 10.
A few seconds later Capt. H. M. Sttne,
grand marshal of the parade arranged
by the Chamber of Commerce and
the Rotary Club at the Telegraph's
suggestion gave the command to his
aids and the Harrisburg honorary es
cort to her guardsmen swung into step
and tramped down Second street.
The Same Old Bell
As the big procession moved down
Second street the thousands of flags
waved by the crowd, the fluttering
handkerchiefs and the varl-colored
parasols of the women, turned the
thoroughfare Into a sea of color. The
clanging of the historic old bell over
the Hope enginehouse and the cheers
of the thousands made bedlam. It
was this same old bell, by the way.
that sounded a farewell to the boys
who marched over this same route In
'9B on their way to Cuba. 'Way back
in 61 it clanged a farewell to still other
"boys."
The right of the line was held by the
aids to Captain Stine, closely followed
by a platoon of city police in charge of
Captain J. C. Thompson. The Com
monwealth band came next and kept
the air vibrant wtth martial airs.
Veterans of Other Wars
With Grand Marshal Stlne marched
his staff of Spanish-American War
veterans and veterans who have seen
foreign service. And among these
tramped some men who have become
closely Identified with the civic and
business life of Harrisburg. Lieuten
ant Colonel Frederick M. Ott, Camer
on Baer, general manager of the Cum
berland Valley Telephone Company;
ex-Fire Chief Augustus Garverlch,
Captain E. Laubenstein, Captalr.
Francis Asbury Awl, E. J. Etackpole,
Edward Dapp, jury commissioner;
Captain Francis H. Hoy, Sr., Philip T.
Meredith these and many other
members of former military organi
zations were In line.
While, of course, these veterans,
many of whose hair has not yet be
come tinged with silver, receh-ed ap
plause, It was when the bent and
grizzled veterans of 61 and 65, follow
ing them, marched by. that the crowds
gave round after round of applause.
Bent and gray, the members of Posts
58 and 116, G. A. R., tramped proudly
by—Just as they did some fifty years
ago, but this time they bore canes or
flags instead of the heavy carbines of
yester years.
Following the Civil War veterans
came other veterans of foreign wars,
members of the old City Grays and the
Imposing, gray-clad ranks of Harris
burg's postal clerks, led by Postmaster
Prank Sites and Superintendent C. H.
Hoffman.
Businessmen in Line
Led by the Municipal Band, which
sent the blood of the spectators cours
ing through their veins Just a little
bit faster as it played "The Star Span
gled Banner," members of the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Rotary Club
came next. The big Rotary banner
and other flags bore by the Harrlsburg
boosters gave the businessmen a regu
lar military aspect and there was

! many a comment as to the fine looking
battalion these organizations could
make. Presidents J. William Bowman
and Howard C. Fry, of the Chamber
of Commerce and Rotary Club re
spectively, many an admirer remarked,
looked like "regular captains."
Behind thesa came the big force of
employes from the Dives, Pomeroy
and Stewart store. Each bore a large
American flag held high above their
heads and made an Imposing scene as
the squad swung around the corner at
Second and Market streets.
The salesforce from Bowman and
Company's store, William Strouse and
Co., Doutrich's and Kauffman's came
next. Bach man bore a flag, and a
big American flag that reached across
the street and required more than a
score of men to bear, brought up the
end of the commercial forces.
Spartan Women of To-morrow
It was Just as these squads passed
that a real thrill raced through the
big crowds and a deafening cheer
went up. It was in honor of a bevy
of pretty misses, none of whom could
have been 16, swung round the curve
bearing a big flag. Each little miss
was clad in white and many a chest
nut, or taffy-colored curl floated back
over the colors. Each face wore a
smile that the tugging flag and blister
ing asphalt couldn't remove.
"That's what we are going away to
flght for," significantly remarked a
serious young trooper farther back In
the line. "It was girls just such as
those that those 'greasers' got down
In Columbus. We'll remember
these."
Then the Firemen
Then came the firemen. Imposing
In their bright uniforms and with
their neat looking apparatus the fire-1
fighters made quite an impression.
Incidentally they gave a slight Impres
sion of what a battle sounds like.
"Their screaming sirens, screeching
claxons and clanging bells, are not un
like the scream of shrapnel and the
bark of a machine gun, "remarked an
officer. It was bedlam.
But the din of the noise-machines
couldn't compare with the apparatus
rolled on and the trim, young khakl
clad men of the Governor's troop un- '
der Captain George C. Jack swung
past. It was for these Harrisburg
boys that thousands had turned out
to see. While the Troop will not en
train for Mount Gretna until to-mor
row Captain Jack acquiesced to the j
request of hundreds and marched his !
men through the line as an escort to !
the men of Companies D and I.
Following the Troop came part of
the Eighth regiment stag. Led by
Colonel Maurice E. Finney, who will
command the regiment, these officers
formed R squad which included Cap
tain Harry H. Baker, Adjutant; Major
G. M. Peters, Regimental Surgeon;
Captain O. M. Copelin, Inspector of
small arms; Captain Bassler, Regi
mental Chaplain, J. W. Wheeler, Ser
geant Major, and Aubrey H. Baldwin,
Jr., Regimental Quarter Master.
The staff was followed by the
Eighth Regiment Band and Compan
ies C, of Chambersburg, and G. of Car
lisle. These were all greeted with
applause that threatened to drown out
the- martial airs of the musicians.
They were followed with a squad of
trim young youngsters that migHt
well be termed the "Class of 1918."
Members of the Boys' Brigade, they
were, and a trim looking squad with
their carbines and khaki suits.
Then came the pride of Harrisburg,
Companies D and I.
It was just to say farewell and God
speed to thes that 50,000 people left
their work and jostled each other for
a point of vantage, where a brother,
son or sweetheart might be waved a
final farewell.
It was a* the veterans, businessmen
and police formed two deep lines
along Market street, from Second to
the station, that these Companies
swung 'round the square and tramped
down Market street.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CHARLES W. THOMAS
Made First Sergeant, Co. I
Company I circles thrilled last even
ing when It became known that
Charles W. Thomas, formerly first
sergeant of the command, was to re
turn. Sergeant Thomas is considered
by officers and men alike as one of
the most efficient "tops" in the
Eighth. Only a short time ago, Ser
geant Thomas' enlistment expired and
ho didn't re-enlist. The outbreak of
the Mexican trouble was a little too
much for "Charlie," however. He
ached to come back. To-day he was
enlisted as a private in Company I.
Minor physical defects which barred
First Sergeant Shoop from going
along, left the vacancy In the "top"
sergeancy and Captain Ziegler
promptly promoted Mr. Thomas to the
job, to the extreme satisfaction of
officers and men alike. "Charlie" is
foreman of the Telegraph "ad alley."

fluttered and many an arm graspingly
[ was extended from the crowd to touch
: a friend or !oved one, perhaps for the
last time.
! Just one of these heartrending In
stances was when First Sergeant Char
eslcs W. Thomas, of Co. I, who only
this morning laid aside his duties in
the Telegraph's composing room to en
list. swung around the square on the
left of his Company. There had been
a lull In the applause. It was broken
by a shrill cry, a woman broke through
the crowd, clutched his arm and sob
bed a tearful good-bye.
Then there were those who wanted
to, but couldn't go. One of these was
Corporal Frank Ney of Co. D. Long
ingly he watched his comrades entrain
at Union Station.
"What's the matter. Corporal?" in
quired a civilian friend, "Why don't
you climb aboard?"
"Aw Shucks!" h» exclaimed, "Look
at these," as he pointed to a squad of
"Rookies," I must stay behind and
drill them."
"That was never my luck," he mut
tered as the last troop train faded
from view round the curve enroute to
Mount Gretna.
BIBLKS FOR MEN
Harrisburg lodge, Loyal Order of
Moose, presented each man of the
departing companies with a Bible.
The presentation was made this morn

the entertainment committee, and a
Spanish-American war veteran.

SIXTEENTH IS FIRST
TO REACH CAMP
[Continued From First Page]
camp aald In plain words that the
camp would be opened at 6 o'clock.
Not by the turn of a hand was the
fact signalized, however, beyond the
running of the post flag to the top of
tho flagstaff before division headquar
ters. Work —hard, grinding, laborious
work—went on strenuously. There
were no troops drawn up at headquar
ters, no bugler pounded a call, no big
gun fired in salute; there was only
work.
Grows Rapidly
But that the mobilization camp was
visibly growing was soon made evi
dent by the arrival of an Infantry regi
ment, the first to reach here. To the
Sixteenth, of Oil City and vicinity,
goes the honor of being the first to
arrive. Its lon-T train drew Into the
station at 6.50 o'clock. The men de
trained in snappy, precise manner,
formed their companies and in less
than ten minutes were on their way,
swinging across the fields to their
camp site, not far away.
The Sixteenth is commanded by
Colonel George C. Rlckards, of Oil
City, and is made up of companies
from Corry, Mcadville, Bradford, Oil
City, Kane. Franklin, Erie, Rldgway,
Warren, Kittanning, Butler and Grove
City.
The Sixteenth was followed by the
Tenth Infantry, commanded by Colonel
Richard Coulter, Jr.. of Greensburg.
The Eighteenth Regiment was to ar
rive from Pittsburgh before noon.
Muster To-morrow
The Second Brigade men went to
work Immediately on their tentage and
expect to have their camp in shape
before many hours. General A. J.
Logan, the brigade commander, es
tablished his headquarters to-day.
Captain J. B. Kemper, chief mus
tering officer, is arranging to begin
the work of transferring property and
mustering men as soon as necessary
papers arrive. Prospects are that mus
tering will start to-morrow. The units
arriving have eighty men. as a rule,
nnd report many reservists at home
stations awaiting orders to move.
All the commands arriving in camp
are liberally sprinkled with recruits in
civilian clothes and other accouter
with uniforms adn other accouter
nvents at once, the supplies from the
State arsenal having been sent directly
here.
Unload In Hour
Squads of recruits will be coming in
for some time to come, as officers have
been left behind by each unit to re
cruit the commands up to war
strength, and one of the biggest tasks
confronting tha officers and •noncom
missioned officers for some time will
be the drilling, training and disciplin
ing of these men, manj of *hom have
never had an hour's military Instruc
tion.
The arrival of these three regiments
was a signal for activity the like of
which has nsver been seen in the
Mount Gretn.i camp before. Army
wagons scurried hither and thither in
orderly fashion getting equipment from
railroad sidings and to make room for
cddltlonal trains bringing in other
regiments. So efficiently was the work
done that the unloading time was re
duced to one hour.
Railroad sidings constructed during
the winter have done much to facili
tate the handling of troops and it is
expected a record will be made In
mobilization to beat that of 1898 for
the Spanish-American war. which
holds the world's record, made here
at that time.
With the arrival of advance details
yesterday and last night in charge of
wagon and supply trains, the scarcity
of labor vanished entirely. Prepa
rations to make the camp complete
moved forward rapidly from the break
of dawn.
The detail of the Third Infantry,
Philadelphia, reached camp by way of
JUNE 24, 1915.
TELEGRAPH WILL FOLLOW THEM
Grateful letters of appreciation have
been received at this office from the
commanders of the local companies
in response to an offer of the Tele
graph management to send to each
headquarters of the three commands
and the regimental headquarters a
number of copies of the Telegraph
daily during their service In Mexico.
This arrangement takes effect after

ry supply trains, with wagons and
jther paraphernalia, came in by way
'f the Reading railway through Leb
ncn at midnight.
Motor Trucks From Harrisburg
The Pottsville, Hamburg, Reading
•nd Lebanon companies of the Fourth
leglment were the first eastern troops
o reach camp and went at once to the
'ourth Brigade site, where tents were
ut up.
Delivery of the baggage and other
quipment will be expedited later in
he day when eight motor trucks ex
ectcd from Harrisburg arrive. Some
f the western regimental officers so
ured farmers' teams and other
eludes to carry baggage to their
amps.
Get Tents t'p
The first consignment of the muster
forms arrived during the morning
from Harrisburg and as soon as the
lemainder are received the adjutants
of the regiments will be called to
gether by Captain Kemper and in
structed. The mustering officers had a
conference during the morning.
The men arriving are all keen for
service and are eagerly awaiting the
start of the physical examination,
which will be the first step in the
muster into Federal sirvice.
The Tenth Regiment brought 999
men and 3 7 officers to camp and was
the first to get Its tentage up.
Expect Eighth
Pennsylvania's guardsmen called
out by the President will be in camp
at Mount Gretna to-night with the
exception of cavalry and artillery,
which will arrive to-morrow.
The Eighth is expected this after
noon, the camp site having been al
ready staked out.
Phihvdclphlans Arrive
The Philadelphia regiments began
arriving soon after 1 o'clock and de
trained at their camp site near Cole
brook. a number of the units coming
with 80 men, including men in civilian
clothes who have just been recruited.
The Fourth regiment arrived before
the Philadelphians and it is expected
that the Eighth and Sixth will soon
follow.
Reports to General Clements' head
quarters indicated that all infantry
commands would be here before 4
o'clock.
Governor at Camp
Governor Brumbaugh paid a de
cidedly informal visit to the camp yes
terday. The commander -in - chief
wanted to see a mobilization camp
before and after. He could not have
selected a more opportune time.
He made up his mind on the spur
of the moment, after noon rang up
Major General Clement at division
headquarters and apprised him that
the commander-in-chief would like to
look over the spot selected for the
greatest mobilization of State troops
since the Civil War.
General Clement had been a hu
man dynamo all day. He started his
work early In the morning and work
ed like a beavfir. The division com
mander found that he could not spare
the time to meet the Governor and
delegated the tas kto Major Taggart,
chief of sanitation inspection on the
division staff.
Major Taggart yielded nothing in
democracy to his superiors. He left
headquarters for the point where the
military road runs like a red ribbon
about the camp, sat oi a rail and
awaited the Executive. Shortly after
4 o'clock he spied a whirl of dust on
the State highway. Out of the swirl
came the Governor's big automobile.
On the rear seat was Governor Brum
baugh, his wife and Private Secretary
Ball.
No serried hosts were drawn up to
. greet their commander. Two Sunday
(schools from Harrisburg, on picnick
i in* bent, espied their neighbor. They
! gave him a welcome that seemed to
i assuage the absence of military cere
| monv. The Governor, with his im
j mediate and official family, posed in
'the dusty road, while Major Taggart
| waited for the civilian photographer
to yield the Executive's attention. The
{camera movement finished, Major
[Taggart stepped forward and said:
"I have the honor to present, the
j compliments of General Clements, sir,
and he has requested me to act as
your aid in inspecting the camp."
"I just had a notion I would like to
see a camp before and after, and I
came, away to-day because I found
that I had a few hours to spare," the
Executive told reporters. He refused
any comment on the Mexican situation
other than, "If Uncle Sam wants us,
we are ready to help him."
Manifestly interested. Governor
Brumbaugh plied his guide with
questions, Major Taggart glibly out
lining the enormous work entailed in
getting the camp ready. Mrs. Brum
baugh was as active a questioner as
hor husband. Her disappointment was
kten because no tented city arose from
the daisy-burdened plateau.
Not even a gubernatorial visit could
disturb the monotonous grind of
muleteers at work trying to convert
a soggy morass, heritage from winter's
storms, into a military highway suit
abel for traffic. These hot, mud
caked men went on with their work,
either unconscious that the Governor
| was watching them or indifferent to
his presence.
After the Governor had finished his
Jaunt about the camp, a matter of
seven miles by road, he called at the
division headquarters at Reservoir
Hill to greet General Clement and his
staff. The division commander had
finished his work and was enjoying a
brief siesta when his superior arrived.
The Governor greeted the General
warmly and was presented to a num
ber of the division staff.
THIAUMONT CAPTURED
AFTER HARD FIGHTING
[Continued From First I'ngc]
the French drove back the Germans
over the ground which they won yes
terday. The battle was particularly
violent in the vicinity of Fleury. The
French did not succeed In regaining
possession of Thlaumont work. More
than six German divisions participated
in the offensive actions east of the
Meuse yesterday.
Capture of the armored fortress of
Thlaumont, north or Verdun, and the
fort and village of Fleury, further
south, was announced by the German
War Office. Ground also was gained
south of Vaux. The Germans made
2600 prisoners.
German troops yesterday repulsed
attempts of the Russians to advance
south of lUoukst and north of Wldzy,
in the Dvlnsk sector according to the
official statement issued to-day at
