GOVERNOR VISITS
FORT NIAGARA
Reviews Officers in Training
For U. S. Army Com
missions
Fort Niagara, N. Y., May 30—Nature
■was exceedingly kind yesterday and a
cloudless sky ana warm weather—the
fairest this year—greeted, the 2,500
Pennsylvanlans in training here when
they awoke in the morning and pre
pared to entertain tnelr governor,
Martin F. Brumbaugh, and George
Wharton Pepper. Following a week of
almost constant downpour, the sun rose
in the morning in a clear sky. The
few hours intervening Between sun
rise and the arrival of the guberna
torial party sufficed to dry the parade
grounds and when the men marched
past they presented as fine a showing
as could be desired. In fact, so excel
lent was the appearance of the com
panies that Governor Brumbaugh took
occasion later to commend the student
officers In the highest terms.
It was 10 o'clock when Governor
and Mrs. Brumbaugh, Mr. and Mrs.
Pepper, Major H. S. Williams, paymas
ter general of the United States army
for the State of Pennsylvania, and
W. H. Ball, the Governor's private
secretary, reached camp in a private
car. They had been met at Niagara
Falls by Captain Fred S. Strong Jr.,
post adjutant. They were taken to
post headquarters, and accompanied
Colonel Miller, the post commandant,
and Colonel Heavy, chief instructor of
the student officers, who arrived on
the parade grounds just as the com
panies began to form preparatory to
the ceremonies.
Form Hollow Square
At a command from Colonel Miller,
the companies formed a hollow square,
one battalion on the north, south and
east sides of the square, with the past
staff officers, the gubernatorial party,
the post band and other guests stand
ing on the west side. The sight was
an imposing one, as tTie men stacked
their 2,500 rifles in the center of the
square and stood at ease during the
services atending the formal presen
tation of the stand of colors.
After he had referred to the his
toric character of the camp's environs
and paid a high tribute to the men
whose remains were beneath the sod
on which the 2,500 soldiers and 1,000
civilians were standing. Governor
Brumbaugh made a very appropriate
reference to the nearness of the land
of the country's greatest ally.
Continuing, Governor Brumbaugh
said:
"It is a peculiar coincidence that we
of Pennsylvania should be gathered at
Fort Niagara on this day and for you
Pennsylvanians to be under the com
mand of a distinguished officer of the
United States army. Colonel. Miller,
from my own home town, Huntingdon. |
I wish to congratulate you, and this
country should pride itself to know j
you are under his superb leadership, j
the borough at Williamsport Tuesday,
son College.
"You men in this camp, the flower
of manhood of Pennsylvania, you are
charged with a duty; see to it that
you acquit yourselves with honor that
your State may be proud of you. Your
bravery should ue equal to those who
went before you and shouldered the
musket in the name of the Republic.
Tribute to Dead
"Here sleep some of the heroic men
who gave their services and their
lives that their country should endure
as the land of tha free and the home
of the brave. It is the solid compact
of purpose that is back of your work,
that will count. To uphold and ad
vance the standard of American de
mocracy and liberty is our duty, it
ought to be our sacred privilege as
that of the heroic dead that lie here
to-day.
"It has been said frequently that
this is an ungrateful Republic. There
is no fact for this indictment. Every
year we gather around our dead and
memorialize them.
"There is another matter. It was
said by the great English statesman
Burleight that 'He that is false to
man can never be true to God.' The
converse of that statement is likewise
true, I believe. He that is false to
God can never be true to man. You
men must be true to God and trust in
Him.
"You are a great body of men band
ed together for a common purpose and
you can't be true to your country If
you do not believe in the teaching of
your minister, your mother, your
church and home. It is only with the
teachings of these that you can rise
to the loftiest heights.
l*rnl>c I'l-nimylvnnlnn*
"We are all proud of you Pennsyl
vanians. when you men marched be
fore us here there was a thrill
in our hearts of gratitude for
you and for the old Keystone State.
Down there, fathers, mothers, wives
and friends, all those people of Penn
sylvania look to you to carry forward
the standards of your country un
stained and uphold its honor wherever
you may go.
"Pennsylvania has never failed to
do its duty. Its record is unsullied,
I charge you to Keep It so.
"We have not gone into this war
willingly, hastily, but solemnly and
resolutely. We have gone into it be
cause the principles of this republic
are in danger. It is for you to carry
forward the principles of democracy,
until it rules the world and the
thrones of Europe have fallen to
earth.
"God bless you boys of Fort Niag
ara and may He give you strength to
carry to victory the principles of this
great Republic."

ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
STATE OF WAR
HELPS RAILWAYS
Puts End to Trespassers Who
Have Been Troublesome;
Less Fatalities
I
"In one respect the state of war we ;
are now in may prove to be of benefit |
to the railways," says the Railway |
Age Gazette in an editorial in its cur- I
rent issue. "A reduction in the mini-!
ber of trespassers upon railway tracks
and trains may result from the guard- j
ing of tracks and bridges by the'
armed forces of the United States fori
the purpose of preventing wilful in- J
terference with transportation facltl-1
ties.
Refuse WnrnlnKN
"The trespasser, in great numbers,
has persistently refused to heed all !
sorts of warnings of 'the ever-present j
danger of being killed by a train.' The
latest railway accident statistics are
those covering the months of July,
August and September, 1816, which
are given in the quarterly bulletin re
cently issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. They show that I
the number of all persons killed tn j
that period in accidents resulting i
from the operation of trains was 2,781 |
and of this number 1,512, or 54.4 perl
cent., were trespassers.
"More than three times as many
trespassers as of employes on duty!
were killed during the period under I
consideration. When it is taken into |
account that the list of employes i
killed in accidents resulting from the]
operation of trains included road
trainmen and switching crews—en- j
ginemen and motormen, firemen anil !
helpers, conductors, brakemen and j
Ilagmen, hostlers, brakemen acting as i
switchmen or helpers—switch-tenders, j
crossing flagmen, gatemen, policemen |
and watchmen, trackmen and other
employes, and that less than one-third j
as many men were killed in all these !
employments as the number that met I
death on account of their own disre- j
gard for their personal safety, it
appears that railway operation Is not •
a specially hazardous industry except
for those who go on railway property
entirely through recklessness or neg
ligence.
PRRNeiiKcrN Killed
"During the same period, two pas
sangers on passenger trains, two pas
sengers on other trains, and three
persons carried urider contract (this
class comprising postal clerks, Pull
man employes, newsboys, baggage and
transfer agents, etc.) were killed, and i

VETERANS GIVEN
GREAT OVATIONj
Thousands Cheer as Civil j
War Survivors March
Along Streets
ovations unequaled as demonstra
tions of patriotism and reverence were
given yesterday afternoon to the
Gland Army veterans as they marched
over the city streets to the Harrisburg
Cemetery, where the annual Memorial
Day ceremonies were held.
Large crowds lining the sidewalks
along the route of the parade stood
with bared heads when the veterans
marched by. Continued applause un
til the last of the Civil War surviors
passed, showed the fervor and sin
cerity of tile thousands of people.
The appearance of the local units
of the National Guard, the Sons of
Veterans, Spanish-American War vet
erans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and !
the Harrisburg City Zouaves and City
Grays' Veteran Association with the
Grand Army men added to the omin
ous meaning—soldiers representing
war. At the cemeteries, too. the same
feeling pervaded as the speakers told
of past wars and the country's stand
for liberty and justice.
Few Dry Eyes
The roll of the guns filing the sa
lutes over the graves added to the
impress!veness, and there were few
dry eyes among those who witnessed
the ceremonies when taps sounded
clearly and sharply across the ceme
teries with the grass-covered mounds,
decorated with flowers and flags.
Bands in line in the parade yester
day included: The Eighth Regiment
organization, which made its first ap
pearance; New Cumberland, Perse
verance and Commonwealth, and the
Sons of Veterans' drum corps.
Plcnils For Enlistment
The principal memorial address of
the day was made by the Rev. Dr.
George Edward Hawes, pastor of
Market Square Presbyterian Church,
at the ceremonies in the Harrisburg
Cemetery. The keynote of his address
was in his declaration that the nation
must stand together in the struggle.
Pointing to the nations representing
militarism and aristocracy, with their
population of 164,000,000, he then said
that the nations on the side of liberty,
righteousness and democracy, with a
population of more than 1,000,000,000,
must eventually win.
In part of the address, the Rev. Dr.
Hawes gave details of other wars, and
emphasized that in the Civil War one
man of every eight was called.
"We must do as well as we did in
the Civil War," he went on. "We
cannot refuse to take part in the war
that is fought for such ideals as these
We must compel Germany, Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey by force of arms
to realize that we are fighting against
world hopes and ideals."
Many Foreigners
An outstanding feature of the ex
ercises in the cemeteries of Harris
burg and vicinity yesterday was the
presence of many citizens of foreign
birth and aliens who have not yet
assumed the obligations of sworn cit
izenship. These men and women,
with their children, noted with inter-

grasped the meaning of the memor- i
lal exercises. They stood respectfully i
during the spcechmaking and seemed j
to absorb the atmosphere of Ihe day.
At the Cutholic Cemetery the mem- i
bers and ex-members of the C'ity ]
Grays paid respect to the memory of J
t'aplaln Thomas F. Maloney, at 11ls 1
tomb. His widow and daughter met
many of the soldiers at the cemetery.:
A salute was also tired over the grave '
of the late Captain James B. McCal- j
ley, whose two sons have recently ■
entered the service of the country. j
At the Harrisburg Cemetery simi- 1
lar tributes were paid in memory of I
General Joseph B. Hutchison, who!
succeeded Captain Maloney in com-!
mand of the City Grays. A floral |
piece was placed upon the tomb of
General Hutchison.
Barney Baruch Eliminated
. as War Purchasing Agent
Washington, May 31.—Bernard Ba- I
rucli, a member of the Advisory Board j
of the Council of National Defense, j
will not bo appointed as head of the j
commission to purchase supplies for j
this Government and the allies, j
Neither will he be appointed to a ]
cabinet position that had been dis
cussed which was to have authority
to co-ordinate the purchasing of the !
supplies and munitions for this and !
the allied governments.
This Information has been given by |
a close adviser of the President, fa- i
miliar with the war plans and the!
discussion relative to the strengthen- j
ing of the bureaus for. the war emer
gency. Mr. Baruch, this Informant '
said, had pehaps inoncently caused J
himself to be mentioned fo such a j
post as a sort of tryout of the Presi
dent and public opinion. The response
from the public, business and. Wall |
Street was so unanimous against plac- i
ing Mr. Baruch in any position of i
such unquestioned importance and au
thority that if the President over had
in mind the naming of the New York '
broker as tho head of the proposed
commission it was quickly abandoned. I
The same informant said there would 1
be no new cabinet places.
A commission will be created to ]
purchase supplies, but Mr. Baruch
will not be in authority, although ho
may be associated with others in tho
commission.

Want Odd Fellow Centers
Established in Army Camps
At a recent meeting of the Past
Grands Association of the southern
district of Dauphin county. Inde
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, reso
lutions wert adopted urging the
grand lodge to establish" Odd Fellow
centers in the various training and
field camps. The resolutions follow:
"Whereas the present national
emergency and the requirements of
military necessity will call into the
service of our country a . large num
ber of the younger element of our
membership, and
"Whereas their location in military
camps, whether within the borders
of our own land or on foreign soil,
will remove them from the influences
and associations of their lodges,
therefore bo it
"Resolved, That the Past Grands
Association of the Southern District
of Dauphin County hereby recom
mends to the grand master and
board of grand officers that our rep
resentatives to the sovereign grand
lodge be instructed lo institute such
action as shall lead to the establish
ment by the sovereign grand lodge
of Odd Fellows centers or headquar
ters in the several camps and mili
tary centers which have been or may
be maintained by the United States
military authorities."
The purpose of the above reso
lution is to provide a means by which
members of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows may be kept, in touch
with the friends and associations of
their homes and to co-operate so far
as may be possible in furnishing them
with refining and entertaining in
fluences. As the membership of the
i order reaches nearly two million
men, the order will be strongly rep
resented among our soldiers.

Removes Roots As Well
As Surface Hairs
I Nonieililiifc Jiw anil UiflTcrrnO
The chemist who discovered the re
markable hair-destroying properties
of phelactine has conferred a genuine
blessing upon a multitude of women.
This peculiar substance seems to para
lyze and shrink up the hairs to which
it is applied, right down to their
roots—and these hairs come out very
| easily and quickly, roots anil all, be
fore one's very eyes!
I Phelactine is perfectly odorless,
non-irritating, non-poisonous—a child
could eat it without the least harm.
Not to be compared at all with depila
tories or electrolysis. It leaves the
skin so soft, smooth and hairless, no
one would guess you ever had a
moustache or other hairy growth. If
you will obtain a stick of phelactine
and follow the simple instructions,
you will certainly be "more than
pleased"—or druggist will refund the
price without question.—Advertise
