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

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.

To date there have been 2,06 4 sep
arate subscriptions, 1,068 yesterday
and 996 to-day. There have also
been received over 500 individual
subscriptions through the banks of
the city. ♦
One of the most enthusiastic of
the meetings to-day was held at noon
at the Enola roundhouse, where An
drew S. 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. At noon to-day
the committee reported to C. L. Me
llvaine that 1.080 employes from all
shops and motive power departments
had subecriped for a total of $62,500
worth of bonds.
518.500 at Central Iron ami Stool
Solicitors of the teams at the Cen
tral Iron and Steel Company's plant
to-day secured 146 subscriptions, to
taling $18,500. This brings the total
number of subscriptions to 649 and
the total amount to $69,850. The
campaign will continue to-morrow.
Keep Headquarters Open
Headquarters at the Board of
Trade Building will be open to-night,
all day to-morrow and to-morrow
evening. This will give any person
who cares to subscribe an opportu
nity of doing so directly with the of
ficials of the campaign. All the
banks will be closed to-morrow aft
ernoon and it is expected that a
great many people who draw weekly
salary will go direct to headquarters
and buy bonds.

war office lias assigned a brigadier
general of the British army as aide to
Oeneral Pershing. He took up his
duties with the commander-in-chief
as soon as tho latter reached here.
Warmly Welcomed
The formal welcome to tho Ameri
cans on the landingstage was a stir
ring scene. A guard of honor com
posed of Royal Welsh Fusilliers was
drawn up at the landing with a regi
mental band. After General Pershing
had been introduced to the military
officer in command of the port he in
spected tho guard of honor, while
the band played "The Star Spangled
Banner."
The only civilians who mot Oeneral
Pershing were representatives of
American press associations and news
papers. General Porshing said to The
Associated Press:
"The trip has been delightful, par
ticularly the latter stages, when we
were escorted through the danger
rone by our own destroyers. Speak
ing for myself and my staff, we aro
glad to be the stadnard-bearers of
America in this great war for civiliza
tion. The opportunity of landing at
a British port and the welcome we re
ceived are very significant and are
deeply appreciated. We expect in the
course of a very short time to be
playing our part, which, I am confi
dent, will be a very big part,* on the
western front.
General Pershing and his staff pro
ceeded towaid London. Before leav-
I ing the steamer, the general thanked
the captain and crew for their courte
sies during the voyage.
Xntlonnl Anthems
The British delegation which wel
comed the Pershing party on the deck
of the liner consisted of Rear Ad- ]
miral Stileman, Lieut. General Sir
William Pitcalrn Campbell and the
lord mayor of Liverpool. The ship
docked at 9 o'clock.
After the band had played the
American national anthem, It rendered
"God Save the King," all present
standing at salute throughout.
The, voyage was a quiet one. The
time was devoted by General i%r
shing and his staff to hard work rfnd
close concentration on the study of
French by all the officers. During the
trip there was a concert at which
General Pershing made an aifdress.
There was great enthusiasm on board
when three American destroyers came
up to act as escort.
By Associated Press
Paris, June 8. General Per
shing's task in France was described
as a most arduous one tfy Colonel
Fabry in an interview with a repre
sentative of the Petit Parislen Col.
Fabry said: ,
"It is not an expeditionary corps
that will be sent from the United
States but a veritable army, which
will be increasingly shelled by fresh
I contingents and is destined to occu
| py an ever-increasing front."

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. No infor
mation as to the composition of the
American foreo or when it may be
expected to reach France has been
given out beyond the original state
ment that a division of regular
troops supplemented by a regiment
of marines would be sent at the
earliest practicable date.
