Responding promptly and enthu

made this morning by Captain Wil
liam F. Harrell, in charge of the Har
risburg District, army recruiting and
Chief Quartermaster W. E. Quirk, of
the local naval recruiting office.
This District Leads
The Harrisburg District, for Army
recruiting, with headquarters in the
Bergner building, is leading any other
district in the state and perhaps In
the United States In the number of
men enlisted. Two weeks ago Captain
Harrell stated that all rcruiting rec
ord would be smashed and that 350
men would be enlisted in this district
before to-night. This morning he an
nounced that 335 men have already
been sent to Fort Slocum and that
twenty more will be sent as soon as the
examinations can be completed. Out
of the 335 men who have Entered the
army service during the month 69
are natives of Harrisburg and vicinity.
Army recruiting has increased re
markably during February and March
especially in the last month. During
February 190 men were enlisted in
this district, 38 of them from this city.
During this month 335 have enlisted,
69 of them from this city, showing an
increase of 145 men over the previous
month.
Quartermaster Quirk announced
this morning that during the last week
seven recruits have been accepted and
sent to naval training stations. Eight
more applications are pending and
several young men are auxlous to en
list but are not yet twenty-one years
of age and cannot receive the consent
of their parents. Quartermaster
Quirk has been commended for his
work here by Lieutenant Commander
C. L. alind, of Philadelphia, who has
charge of this district.
John Schelhas. 518 South Four
teenth street, enlisted in the Army
yesterday and later started a "get
jour pal" movement. He conducted
a pool room on Swatara street, which
he sold to his brother. He then went
out and secured a number of his
friends to enlist. He Secured nearly
a dozen pals to poin the colors and
they will be sent to Fort Slocum.

SATURDAY EVENING,
STONE TO OPPOSE
WAR DECLARATION
ON SENATE FLOOR
Next Hanking Democrat Also
Opposed to President's
American Policy
Washington, D. C.. March 31. —Sen-
I ator Stone, chairman of the foreign
J relations committee, broke his silence
| to-day on the international situation
| and said that war appears probable;
; that he will vote against a war decla
j ration, but will give President Wilson
i his unlimited support if war is decided
upon. Senator Stone said he did not
I know the President's program, but
I would co-operate in enabling Congress
! to promptly express its convictions.
! "I have not changed my positions or
[convictions since the armed neutrality
resolution was before thu Senate," said
I Senator Stone. "I will vote against a
! war resolution, but if war is decided
i upon I'd like to see any go farther in
| hacking up the President in its unlim
ited prosecution."
The foreign relations committee will
meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on
the day the President addresses Con
gress. Senator Stone intimated that
the handling of a war resolution in the
Senate would be left to some other
senator acceptable to the President
and the committee. Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, next in rank to Senator
Stone, has told the President that he
opposes a war declaration, and It ap
peared probable that Senator Williams,
of Mississippi, the r.ext in line on the
Democratic side, might be chosen.
PRESIDENT TO KEEP
HIS POLICY SECRET
[Continued I-Yom First Pag*"]
President Wilson and his cabinet ad
visers yesterday. Decision was reached
quickly and it was said there was no
division of opinion on the question.
Xo Define Status
Just what part the United States
would play In the war against Ger
many will not be developed until after
Congress delines the nation's status
and completes urgent defense legisla
tion.
Meantime, plans for organization of
the House so that President Wilson
may appear early next week before
Congress, went ahead to-day. Until
it is known definitely, however, when
organization will be effected no date
for the President's appearance will be
set.
Nation Stands Solid
Administration officials are confident
that the President will have the al
most solid backing of the country and
congress in whatever recommendations'
he may make. Some opposition is
looked for, however, from pacifists at
the capitol.
Among the measures Congress Is ex
pected to act on soon after President
Wilson's appearance are extension of
a large credit to the government; iyo
visions for raising an army of about
1,000,000 men; censorship and spy
bills; the regular army supply bill and
emergency legislation for the army
and navy.

GREAT AMOUNT OF
WORK IS NEEDED
[Continued From First Page]
quehanna has removed much of the
debris from the "front steps" of the
city, but there Is still a great deal to
■ be done in the way of putting the river
front in order for the summer. It
has been suggested that time and
money could be saved by prompt work
on the granolithic walk and steps In
the removal of the cllt and gravel
which has been washed over the walk
by the spring rains and floods. If this
cilt and clay are permitted to become
hardened and baked by the sun the
removal will involve a great deal of
work. So long as it is soft a few men
would soon clean the whole area from
Iron alley to Maclay street.
Much Planting Necessary
It is also 'evidenced that a lot of
planting will be necessary to protect
the slope. There seems to be no occa
sion for a hair line grading of the
embankment, the opinion of those who
have had experience in slope protec
tion being that the rough grading
along definite lines and heavy plant
ing would be sufficient.
Lynch Has Big Job
A big job is cut out for Commis
sioner Lynch. Many of the streets are
in wretched condition because of the
deteriorlation of the asphalt surface
and there is general demand for city
wide activity to restore the streets to
their original conditions. Much com
plaint is heard already of the careless
indifference of coal men and others
in their handling of their products at
Broad and Boas streets, much of the
coal being littered over the streets in
that section.
Planting of many trees will be neces
sary throughout the river park owing
to the disappearance of old trees and
the removal of a number a year or
two ago.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
TRIES TO GET WIFE
AT RUMMAGE SALE
• [Continued (>om First I'agc]
The man and his roll made their way
to that department where Mrs. Mercer
B. Tate took them in chargo and he
laid In a supply of next winter's suits
and a light summer outfit, which, he
said, he would wear to church Sunday.
A little later another rustic floated
In and drifted down to the notion
counter, where he stopped—that's
where they all stop, the city chaps us
well as their country brothers—and
j asked a few aimless questions. (One's
powers of concentration do seem to
desert one as one beholds the varied
assortment of a little of everything on
display here —and that array of Har
risburg's beauties behind the counter,
which is NOT FOR SALE.) Miss Mary
Sponsler, one of the most efficient sell
ing experts at the sale, offered this'
prospective customer some "hand
warmer" for a nickel. "No, thank
you. I have no need for that Chinese
punk kind of 'hand warmer'," said he,
"but I'll take you." "No sale," came
back. But he was a knight, was he,
and presented the fair saleslady with
a bar of chocolate and a richly em
broidered pair of tan stockings which
he purchased at the women's clothing
counter for 5 cents.
The men have come to the rescue of
the ladies during the rush hours each
day. It matters not that they were
caught while walking about just look
ing on and pressed into service, they
were helping out. Spencer Gilbert was
made tally clerk and Mrs. Meade D.
Detweiler, treasurer of the general!
committee, gave it as her word that i
his accounts were found to be correct, j
Al. Seligman was nabbed and put in
the men's clothing department, it hav
ing been the unanimovs opinion of the I
directing managers, at a hasty confer- I
ence. that he could serve better in that I
division.
The public has been as liberal In con- I
tributing articles for the sale as it has I
been in buying. Burns and Company,
furniture dealers, donated a delivery I
wagon to-day. Several automobiles i
brought contributions of clothing and
other miscellany to the sale early this
morning. .
Another big crowd was jammed in
the entrance to the salesroom this
morning when the doors were opened
at y o'clock. This is the last day of the
sale and preparations have been made
for a rush of late buyers this after
noon and evening. The sale will con
tinue until late to-night, liverv article
that is not sold up to 6 o'clock, when
an hour's respite will be granted the
sales force, goes under the hammer
promptly at S:3O. Clarence Fry, who
acted as auctioneer at the sale last
year, will probably preside at the block
to-night.
Miss Helen Espy of the furniture
sales force was making desperate ef
forts this morning to dispose of an
organ and save It from being sacrificed
on the auction block to-night. She was
about to give up, when Vance C. McCor
mick happened along. A brilliant idea
struck her. Would he not help her
prove the worth, the tuneful qualities
of her organ? He would. Hark: Soft
and beautiful melody fills the big room.
Everybody, quits right there.
"There's an organ in the parlor
That gives the house a tone.
And you are welcome every evening
In Maggie Murphy's hoine."
That duet sold the organ in live sec- |
onds and it went for twice the price 1
that had been put on it.
More than )1,000 was taken in yes
terday, bringing the total receipts to
12.872.US for the two days. This is $72
above the total for the end of the sec
ond day's sale last year. The first
hour's receipts this morning wore
$250.50.
The executive committee will not be I
surpriseH jf the total receipts exceed !
the 34,000 mark of last year. The. sale,
which is held for the benefit of the
Harrisburg Hospital, is managed by
a committee of 200 representative wo
men of the city. Everyone comes in for
a share of the credit for the success of
the affair: those who contributed so
generously, the thousands who spent
with a liberal hand and the hard
working women—and men—who com
posed the sales force.
