Captain Har rell stated this morning that this was a good number, but more are needed, lie said: "Here we are with war declared and recruits not coming in any faster than before; something seems to be the matter for the people do not realize what this means. We need more men and we are going to use every possible means to get them." Quartermaster W. E. Quirk, of the navy recruiting office, sent ten recruits out from the local office during the week, but ho stated this morning that this was a poor showing for a city the size of Harrisburg.

We will have to have more men from Harrisburg for the navy and if they do not volunteer we will be authorized to use other means of securing them, said Quartermaster Quirk. 1 i i IfSpj I if " 8' :: : Iff ft ♦♦ XX IS it tt Does Your Name S Appear Among the H City's Representative H g People? $ S s it It Will If You Order h H That "Dial" Phone H H Installed Today H 1 1 g Our New Directory g ft Will Be Issued About g | April 20th § H Cumberland Valley H Telephone Company H i of Pa.

READING RAILWAY BRIDGE GUARD IS WOUNDED BY SPY Troopers Ordered to Shoot to , Kill Trespassers Refus ing to Halt Reading, April 7.—Private John Mc- Namara, of Philadelphia, guarding the west end of the Reading Railway's Lcbanop Valley bridge here, was shot in the right arm by an unknown man, supposed to be a German plotter, who laid in wait behind a boulder last night. The bullet passed through his arm and his condition is not seri ous. The shooting occurred when Mc- Namara was returning from a search around the end of the bridge. A hur ried search of the ground by the en tire battalion stationed at the bridge failed to show any traces of the man though the wounded sentry had shot three times at him as he disapeared in the darkness. Further excitement was added to the already tense situa tion when a guard on the eastern end of the bridge fired at a man who failed to respond to a challenge. As a result of the shooting Captain Risler doubled the guards on the bridge and has issued a warning to all citizens that trespassing In and around the bridge will be at the peril of the individual who does it. Guardsmen have been ordered to shoot to kill if the person challenged falls to answer the first call to halt. i MOTOK CLUB POSTPONES DINNER The board of governors of the Mo tor Club of Harrisburg, at its month ly meeting last night, approved of the recommendation of the annual dinner committee that the dinner be post poned on account of the declaration of war upon Germany by the United States.
