SOLDIER BOYS IN THE MAKING , HAVE TRYING EXPERIENCES In Letter Home One Tells of His Pride at Riding All Alone on Caisson, but "Left Trot" Throws Him Over board: Sees Action on Mountain Top As showing the spirit of the aver age American boy called into the service of his country, we have been permitted to make extracts from a private letter that show his cheerful acceptance of new conditions. He describes the strenuous activity of camp life thusly: "The last two days have been ex ceedingly busy ones. Yesterday morn ing we had a practice hike and I rode all by myself on top of a caisson, tlie personnel being rather depleted. We entered Alexandria by a rear and rickety street, strongly embossed wttn Virginia cobblestones. Suddenly the left about, trot, was sounded. Imme diately I began to do a very fair imi tation of St. Vitus himself and rode, after a manner speaking, with flour ishes. Blinded by the dust and with the feeling that my diaphragm was re volving within me. I was about to col lapse when, with one final grand crash as of Doomsday, we fell to the walk. After wiping my eyes and verifying the presence of teeth and ribs, I was all set for another session. For tunately, however, we ambled all the way In so that I hopped ofT quite nimbly but with care. "In the afternoon we had equita HARRISBURG BUYS $438,000 MORE BONDS [Continued From First I'ago.] address that stirred his audience re- j peatedly to loud outbursts of ap plause. Will Shoulder Gnn Mr. Moeslein said it was true that he had been in the Franco-Prussian War and that he is now proud to do his bit for the land of his adoption, the country he loves and is willing to support even at the cost of his own . life. "I am proud to be associated with a body of men like this in a cause like this," ho said. "Nobody can accuse us of not having been neutral at the outstart of this war. but conditions are different now. I have one grandson in the service and if the younger members of my family are not sufficient I will gladly shoulder a gun myself in defense of 1 the Stars and Stripes, that no flag shall fly higher than it in the whole world." The Marshal for This One One of the teams yesterday re ported a man of quite another stripe —a man of American birth who is living largely off the suffrage or the people, who told the campaigners with a sneer: "None of those bonds for me. Why. I'd sooner put my money in an automobile." The campaigners wanted the name of this fellow and wanted It badly. , but the campaign manager ruled j otherwise. Instead Chairman McCormick re ported the offender to the Secret Service and men from the United States marshal's office will visit him 10 question his loyalty and to warn him that any such sentiments ex pressed in the future may take hint to prison. This decision was cheered and most of the campaigners spent the next half hour in learning the slack er's name on the quiet in order to settle scores with hini personally. Buchanan Wins Again The division managed by A. E. Buchanan which carried off honors yesterday was high again to-elay and retained the division banner, run % nlng up a total of $218,850, of which; Mr. Reinoehl's team turned in $105.- 300 and that of Francis J. Hall, high j team yesterday, gave report of $94, 800.- Of this sum $52,750 came from the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend ing Company and $ IS,OOO from the, Central Iron and Steel Company em-1 ployes. The Reinoehl team obtained a sub scription of SIOO,OOO through State Treasurer Kephart and A. 1-. Allen, assistant manager of the State In suranee Fund. This surplus by a special arrangement will go through the Harrisburg Clearing House Asso ciation instead of the Federal Re serve Bank, Mr. McCormick making the final plans this afternoon. Mr. Kephart and Mr. Allen both thought the money should be Invested in these bonds through the Harrisburg district and went out of their way to favor the local campaigners. . The other divisions reported as. follows: Division A. $32,650; Divi sion C, <525,500; Division D, $44,- 300; executive committee, $11,500; Division commanders' team, SSO. E. J. Hockenburv, manager of the campaign, who goes to Milwaukee, to run a big Red Cross campaign anil will not be here to-morrow, bade farewell to the campaigners and was giverf a rousing reception and three cheers for his splendid work.

Patterson, of the Union Trust Company, and E. Hoyt Weston, of Rollins and Company, made speeches. They explianed the situa tion thoroughly to the railroad men and answered many questions re garding the loan. Mr. Patterson brought out the thought that the men who had responded for service at the front were going to protect those who remained at home. It was in short "the Germans will come across if you don't." Both speakers made such a good impression that they have been invited to appeal again hefore the railroad men at Enola at six o'clock this evening. 1,080 Shopmen Buy Shop employes of the Pennsylva nia railroad, with five more days left in the Liberty bond campaign, are breaking all records.

Speak ing for myself and my staff, we aro glad to be the stadnard-bearers of America in this great war for civiliza tion.

WHEAT CROP IS FAR ABOVE LAST SEASON'S 656,000,000 Bushels Is Fore cast; 16,000,000 More Than • Last Year B\ Associated Press Washington, June B.—The prospec tive wheat crop of the United States this year was forecast to-day by the Department of Agriculture at 656,000,- 000 bushels, combining a revised esti niato of the badly damaged winter wheat crop and the first estimate of the new spring wheat crop, based on June 1 conditions. That compares with 640,000,000 bushels harvested last year and 806,000,000 bushels, the aver age crop for 1911-'ls. Mny Weather Helped Improved weather conditions during May increased prospects of winter wheat and indicated a crop of 373,000,- 000 bushels. The crop began this spring under adverse conditions, 12,- 437,000 acres having to be ahandont'ti because of the severe winter and other causes. April 1 conditions indicated a production of 430,000,000 bushels, but during that month growing conditions were so poor that the May I forecast was reduced eo 366,116.000 bushels. The increased spring wheat arear, placed at 10.039,000 acres, and the good start of this crop under excel lent growing conditions, indicate a production of 283,000,000 bushels, compared with 158,142,000 bushelsvlast year, 351,854,000 bushels in 1915 and 233,571,000 bushels the average for the pievious five years. 198 Officers Are With General Pershing; Will Complete Plans By Associated Press Washington June 8. Major Gen ! oral Pershing, whose safe arrival in England is recorded in the foregoing dispatch has with him 198 officers, enlisted men and other attaches. The party sailed more than a week ago without any publicity being, given to their departure despite the fact that it was known to some Am erican correspondents. Here again, as was the case with the French and British missions, the newspapers loy ally co-operated with the govern ment in a voluntary censorship to safeguard the passage of the Ameri can officers. In the official quarters the depart ure was so well surrounded with se crecy that within the last few days many government officials had been asking when General Pershing would sail. The party made the trip on sched ule time. It was learned to-day that the government had advices yester day that the vessel on which they crossed was on time, relieving any anxiety that might have been felt. Reports from Paris yesterday said sites for camps of American troops had been selected. Presumably Gen eral Pershing will inspect these and ] make complete arrangements for the reception of bis troops.
