JOFFRE IS GIVEN
SOUVENIR OF CITY
Handsomely Mounted and In
scriber Facsimile of Flag
Forwarded
Despite the fact that fate in the
form of a railroad wreck intervened
to prevent Marshal Joffre visiting
Harrisburg, the French gen
eral will carry back to France with
him a souvenir of the Capital City
of the Keystone State.
To-day the HARRIS BURG TELE
GRAPH forwarded to General Joffre,
at Washington, a handsomely mount
ed and inscribed facsimile of the
Harrlsburg City Flag, accompanied
by the following letter:
"As a lltle souvenir of your visit
to our city to-day, we beg you to
accept, with the compliments of the
Harrlsburg Telegraph, the enclosed
facsimllie of the city's flag, which you
may care to place among other me
mentos of your visit to the United
States.
"This Hag was unfurled all over
Harrlsburg in your honor to-day. It
has special significance because Har
rlsburg. the capital of the common
wealth, Is located in Dauphin coun-
I ty, which was named in honor of the
Dauphin of France.
"The Hag consists of a dark blue
(lekl, with a narrow yellower gold
border, bearing a white keystone, the
state's emblem, which has upon it the
dome'of the Capitol building, rising
from clouds. Below the dome are
three yellow crescents from the Har
ris family arms (John Harris, the
city's founder), and above the dome
a yellow or gold roundel from the
arms of William Penn (the founder
of the state), and a yellow or gold
fleur-de-lis, from the arms of the
Dauphin, the eldest son of the King j
of Franco. The name 'Harrisburg' ap- j
pears below the keystone in gold.
"Our city had the pleasure of re-
ceiving your beloved countryman,
General Lafayette, in 1825, and you
and your distinguished associates
shall always have a place of honor
in that page of our history devoted
to the city's most welcome guests.
"it may be interesting to you to
know that Harrlsburg is at tlie fore
front of all the cities of the country
in the number of its sons who have
volunteered for service wherever their
country calls in the present war.
"With the good wishes of a pa
triotic community."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Bids For Construction
of Road Through Oberlin
Rejected as Too High
State Highway Commissioner
Black, upon the recommendation of
Chief Uhler, rejected all of the bids
which were received at the State
Highway Department May 3, for the
construction of improved roads in
Allegheny. Dauphin and
Washington counties.
The prices bid were deemed ex
cessively high, even in view of the
present scarcity of labor and in
creased cost of materials. Commis
sioner Black announced that all of
these sections of road would be read
vertised immediately, as well as the
section of road in Clarion county,
for which no bids were received last
Thursday.
The Dauphin county road, for
which bids will be asked, extends a
distance of 1270 feet through ober
lin.
It is the intention of Commissioner
Black and of Chief Kngineer Uhler
to rush all road construction
throughout the State, as appropria
tions become available, especially the
construction of main-traveled routes,
and to this end a comprehensive
scheme of road work is being out
lined for the 191" season.
