of the loan and the number of peo

country in this or any other war.
Prior to this loan there were 350,000
bondholders in the United States.
Now there are millions."

SPEAKERS PAY
HIGH TRIBUTE TO
AMERICAN FLAG
City Unites in Great Patriotic
Ovation at Annual
Exercises
"The American flag stands for
honesty, benevoleence, protection and
everything that is right. It has
brought about more good than all
tournaments and crusades in history.
This grand old banner enfolds laugh
ter of children, the breath of love,
the courage of manhood, the faith of
age."
No higher tribute to the American
flag was possible than that given by
Samuel B. Bare, of Altoona, prin
cipal speaker last night at the Flag
Day exercises at Reservoir Park. He
held the big crowd from start to
finish with his stirring patriotism
and references to Old Glory. He
scored a big hit with the members of
the G. A. R. when he recalled inci
dents of the War of the Rebellion
and told of the success of the Ameri
can flag in that great conflict. He
suid, in part:
Leads All X'ations
"This is the flag that has led ail
other nations in the march of prog
ress and the> humanities. It is the
only flag that represents a people,
not a monarch or savage. It will
in the very near future usher in
1,000 years of peace." He concluded i
with:
"America will not quit now: she is
in the war to implant the laws of
humanity in every principality of the
world."
Prolonged cheers that were not
silenced for five minutes were given
the speaker at the conclusion of his
address. At the close of the exer
cises Mr. Hare was warmly con
gratulated by many who were
present.
Feature of Projrram
This address was the big feature of
an elaborate program planned by
members of Harrisburg Lodge of
Elks for the observance of Flag Day.
It marked the one hundred and for
tieth anniversary of the birth of the
flag. Each year Elks all over the
United States lay aside their duties
on June 14 and pay tribute to Old
Glory.
Joining with the Elks were a num
ber of local organizations who were
a part of the big parade. Every
body in line carried a flag. An In
teresting feature of the parade was
the presence of a number of young
men who registered for war duty on
June 5. They marched behind the
Eighth Regiment band and were
cheered all along the line.
Three in Line
It is estimated that no less than
3,000 were in line lasi night. The
march to Reservoir Park, where the
exercises were held, was through
throngs of people lined along the
sidewalks and filling windows and
other points of vantage. The vet
erans of the G. A. R. occupied auto
mobiles. Members of the Harris
burg Rotary Club, Harrisburg Post
j Office Employes' Association, Sons of
Veterans, Catholic Alliance. Knights
of Malta, Odd Fellows, Red Men,
Harrisburg Republican Club, Span
ish-American Veterans, registered
men and employes of the Moorhead
Knitting Company attracted wide at
tention.
At Reservoir Park the exercises
were opened by James L. Carroll, ex
alted ruler of Harrisburg Lodge. The
band played a lively selection and

Seeking Laborers to
Rush Work on New P. R.R.
Freight Station Here
Pennsylvania Railroad agents are '
busy in Philadelphia lining up labor
ers, carpenters, and other tradesmen, ;
to work on the new freight station !
in South Harrisburg. Delays have
been due to lack of labor. Warren
Moore Company, contractors, wno
have charge of the construction of
the buildings, have been handicapped
because of the failure of another
firm to make the necessary excava
tions.
This afternoon a conference \\<as
held between George Brown, division
engineer of the Philadelphia Division,
and William IC. Martin, engineers of
construction for the Pennsylvania
Railroad. It is understood that on
Monday a large force of workmen will
begin excavations.
Construction work will be rushed
as rapidly as possible. It Is expected
that a number of men will come here
from Philadelphia. However, Phila
delphia Division officials were ujianie
to say positively regarding additional
help, but hoped that work would be
rushed and the improvement complet
ed at an early date..
