HARRISBURGTO
SEND MANY TO
TRAINING CAMPS
Field Secretary of Military As
sociation Coming Here to
Tell of Work
In the event that universal military
training is inaugurated in this country,
Plattsburg, New York and Plum
Island, New York, will be the centers
of great military activity.
Harrisburg in previous years has
sent businessmen and students to the
Plattsburg camps and judging from
the advance interest this year will be
no exception. The government pays
all expenses, including transportation,
•subsistence, and one-third clothing
equipment.
To Tell of Camp Life
To give Harrisburgers, men and
boys, the latest information on the
summer camps, which it is understood
will be held unless war conditions pre
vent, Merrill E. Gates, Jr., field secre
tary for the Military Training Camps
Association, will make an address in
the Board of Trade at 7:30 this eve
ning and will answer all questions, re
lative to the camps at Plattsburg and
Plum Island, the latter for boys be
tween the ages of 15 and 18., A big
delegation of Central High, Technical
High School and Academy students is
expected at the meeting, Arhich will be
held under the auspices of the local
recruiting committee for the Platts
burg camps, composed of Jackson M.
Boyd, Ehrman B. Mitchell, Edward J.
Stackpole, Jr., Wallace E. Hackett,
Dr. William L. Keller, Kay Clark, John
M. Smith, Joseph Strouse, C. J. Ken
nedy, Frederick Dapp, Victor Brad
dock and T. J. Gould.
POSH HEALS
ERUPTIONS ON
SKIN AND SCALP
If you attend to Pimples, Rashes and
all skin troubles with Poslam, and <lO
so promptly, they will not develop and
spread.
Unless you have actually seen Pos
lam's work and know how readily it
takes hold, stopping the Itching at
once, you will hardly believe its ef
fects possible in so short a time.
In Eczema, Poslam's action appears
all the more remarkable when the
trouble is persistently stubborn and
nothing else seems to bring lasting re
lief.

YOU X CATARRH!
What Are You Doing to Stop It ?
If your nose is clogged, with air
passage swollen and inflamed, or if
crusts are constantly forming in it,
if you suffer from droppings in the
throat and are blowing, hawking, spit
ting all the time, you have catarrh.
You may have had catarrh for years
and can go on having it for years to
come if you refuse to act. But if you
really wish to end It quickly and feel
100 per cent, better in every way, go
to H. C. Kennedy or any live local
druggist and say, "I want a large pack
age of liyoinel with inhaler." No
stomach dosing, greasy ointments,
sprays or gargles. You breathe Hyomei
and as you inhale its pure, whole
some air its healing tonic balsams
quickly reach all the sore, inflamed
membranes of the nose and throat and
the catarrhal germs are destroyed.
Clears out the head and throat like
magic, opens up the nose, makes
breathing easy and gives complete re
lief from every catarrhal symptom. It
has done this for years for thousands
of people. Your money back if it
cannot do it for you.

BRUMBAUGH TO BE
ANOTHER SPEAKER
AT MASS MEETING
Governor to Appear on Pro
gram With Gerard; Children
Plan Big Demonstration
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh is
another speaker who will address the
big patriotic meeting which will be
held here on Thursday afternoon and
evening under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce. James W.
Gerard, former ambassador to Ger
many, and Edward J. Cattell, two of
the most noted men of the day, will
be the other speakers.
Ambassador Gerard will arrive here
on the 3.3 2 p. m. train and will be met
at the Pennsylvania station by the
local National Guard ■ companies and
the reception committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce. The Governor's
Troop will act as a special escort. The
escort will proceed to Market street, to
Third, to State, where a halt will be
made for a patriotic meeting: to Front,
to the residence of Vance C. McCor
mick, where Mr. Gerard will be enter
tained.
Children in Demonstration
Patriotic exercises featured by sing
ing by the school children, headed by
Central and Technical high school stu
dents, will be held on the steps in
front of the Hartranft statue at the
State street entrance of the Capitol
grounds. The school children will be
stationed on the steps and this section
will be roped off for this purpose. The
Bethlehem Steel Company band will
furnish music and will accompany the
singing, which will be general.
Band to Head Scouts
Admission to the evening meeting
in the Chestnut Street Auditorium will
be by ticket only and the Chamber of
Commerce is sending out two tickets
to each member of the Chamber. The
National Guard companies that par
ticipate in the parade will lie the
guests of the Chamber and they will
be given tickets at the various arm
ories. The remaining space after the
members of the Chamber and the sol
diers are accommodated will be open
to the public, which will receive tickets
from the special committee. Without
a doubt the demonstration will be the
greatest of its kind ever held in this
city and the Chestnut Street Audi
torium will be decorated so as to re
semble a large American flag.
William Strouse has engaged a band
to accompany the Boy Scouts of the
city in the parade in the afternoon.
BELL CO. TO MAKE
BIG IMPROVEMENT
$134,293 Will Be Spent in City
and Suburbs to Better
Service
The Rell Telephone Company will
spend $134,293 for additions and im
provements to the plant in and around
Harrisburg, according to an announce
ment made this morning.
Of the appropriation $78,000 is for
underground and aerial cable. This
will eliminate several pole lines and
provide facilities for future expansion.
More than 12,000 feet of underground
cable, containing from 25 to 900 pairs
of wires per cable, will be placed. In
addition there 'will be strung nearly
6,100 feet of aerial cable.
Extensive additions are planned to
the underground system. These in
clude 1,660 feet of trenches. Each
will contain from one to five under
ground ducts and will require the con
struction of eight new manholes. The
new cable will replace 91 circuit miles
of aerial wire and cable.
Hig Growth
The growth of Harrisburg, estimated
at 28 per cent, in the last few years,
and the great development of its busi
ness, a Bell official said this morning,
has brought about a demand for tele
phone service which has resulted in a
growth of 4,603 telephones in five
years. There are now 11,746 in the
city.
Outside the city the Bell company
proposes to spend approximately
$56,000 for new plant extensions to
care for the toll and long distance
service.
The Bell company division head
quarters offices now occupy five of the
six floors of the Johnston building.
During the last year the buildings at
208-210 Walnut street have been re
modeled and there is also being con
structed at Cameron and Mulberry
streets a modern garage and office
building.
BLANKET OF TROOPS

cept that the troops were moving.
It was admitted that the Cumber

bridges crossing the Susquehanna river
would be placed under guard, but no
definite time was fixed for the arrival
of the soldiers in Harrisburg. Accord
ing to a dispatch from Philadelphia,
four troop trains were scheduled to
leave that city to-day. The dispatch
reads:
Carry Out Schedules
"Strategic points in all parts ol
Pennsylvania are being placed under
heavy guard to-day by detachments
from the First and Third Infantry
Regiments, the Philadelphia National
Guard organizations which were or
dered to mobilize Sunday two weeks
ago by the War Department. Five
traffic officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad prepared the schedule of
trains, assisted by Colonel Ketiip.
"The state, from Harrisburg to Pitts
burgh, is under protection of the Third
Regiment, which was scheduled to
leave here early to-day, a thousand

AMERICA'S ENTRY
INTO THE WAR IS
WELCOME NEWS
Great Britain Beccives With
Joy Word of U. S.
Decision
By Associated Press
London, April 3. Under the head
ing "Brothers in Arms" the Pall Mall
Gazette says to-day of President Wil
son's speech:
"The President frames the issue In
a setting calculated to stir the deepest
emotions of the American people. The
Kussian revolution enables him to
commend it to them as a conflict be
tween the virtues of democracy and
the crimes of autocracy. ♦ •
"America enters the war without
reservations. Her action will be wel
comed both for the substantial aid
wjilch she will bring and for the com
munity of spirit which she will further
among the free nations of the world.
It is a great satisfaction to be Joined
thus with the nation carrying so much
of our blood in a crusade worthy of its
best traditions and ours."
German Mistake
The Globe says:
"German statesmen have scornfully
affected to regard the entrance of the
United States as negligible. We can
safely leave them to iind out their mis
take. In the meantime we are con
tent to stand shoulder to shoulder
with the land of the free in the great
est battle for freedom the world has
ever seen."
In a long: editorial the Evening
Standard says:
"The German government has done
a very mad thins in forcing the United
States into the ranks of its enemies."
It argues that until yesterday Ger
many could have obtained peace by
abandoning submarine warfare Inas
much as the "strong pacifist element in
the United States would have over
ruled the wiser party which recognizes
Prussia as the enemy of mankind who
must be disabled if the world is to
enjoy peace."
Germans Playing Game
The Standard then says that Ger
many in bringing the crushing mate
rial and moral force of the great re
public against her was acting on only
two possible theories: First, that Ger
many contemplates a surrender and
that her pride demands that she sur
render only to the whole world: sec
ond, that it means a desperate staking
of all on the chance of starving Eng
land by her submarine campaign.

§Your Easter Corset
\V e are more intent on fitting corsets properly than making corset sales.
Few women ever think of buying a suit or dress without having it fitted. Ilowf
much more important that the corset —the foundation over which the suit must be fitted
and the garment on which so much of bodily comfort and perfection depends—should be
selected with expert advice and adjusted by an expert fitter.
There is a right corset for each figure—not a matter of guess work —it is an exact
science which calls for a knowledge of physiology and hygiene.
Our corsetieres are thoroughly trained and widely experienced in this science and
we know that once you try a corset fitting here you will make Bowman's your cot-set
headquarters.
We sell all the best corsets —special and regular brands—the low semi-boned mod
els for the youthful slender woman—the medium bust heavier boned models for the aver
age type and higher bust models for the stout figures, in sizes to 42. bowman's-thim ru
