Yale Celebrates Its
Alumni Day With
War Time Seriousness
By Associated I'ress
New Haven, Conn., June 19. — |
Alumni day at Yale University was j
without time-honored festivities. '
There were no class groupings in
costume about the campus, no bonds
playing, no parade to Yale field for
the ball game, and no class dinners.
The many hundreds of graduates;
back for their reunions took the i
simple program seriously. Presi- i
dent Arthur T. Hadley addressing
them in Battel Chapel, said:
"And in God's good providence i
we are going to emerge from the
war a better place of education than
we were at the beginning; not mere
ly better because the coming gene
ration of students will be more seri
ous, but better because the coming
generations of professors and in
structors \yill be more practical.
They will have had a lesson in
adapting means to ends. 1 venture
to hope that when we readjust our !
courses after the war's experience i
we shall know how to make our
courses more useful to the country I
in the best and fullest sense of the
word useful."
"Billy" Sunday Leaves
New York For a Rest
New York, June 19. —"Billy" Sun
day and Mrs. Sundny left New York I
by the Pennsylvania Limited at 1
11.40 o'clock yesterday morning.
Twenty-five hundred persons were
at the station to bid them farewell.
Women threw flowers before the
evangelist and his wifo, as they made
their way with difficulty through
the long lines of people gathered in
the station.
The crowd sang ."Brighten the
Corner," and as the train was pull
ing out they sang "God Be With You
Till We Meet Again."
While the evangelist was far from
being "all in," heplainly showed,
during his short stop here, the ef
fects of his strenuous New York
campaign, in which he addressed 1,-
250,000 persons, got personal pledg
es to reform from 93.000 "trail
hitters," card-indexed 65,000 of the
penitents and raised $114,000 for ihe
Red Cross. For his greatest cam
-1 paign he received nothing himself.
The expenses, $175,000, were un
derwritten by New York men.
From his home at Winona Lake
"Billy" will go to his apple ranch in
Oregon in about a week. His next
campaign will begin at Los Angeles
on September 4, and he will spend
the summer in getting back into
condition. He said yesterday:
"I wish T had strength to go away
with the boys. I'd like to go to the
front, and I'd also like to do work
in the concentration camps, but I'm
afraid I can't. I'm afraid mv
strength won't stand it. It's going
to take some months to get back in
to shape."
"He's got to rest," "Ma" Sunday
announced, decisively, and as the
train began to move "Billy" admit
ted, "Ma's right."
P. 0. Department Ready
to Deliver Store Parcels
New York. June 19. The Post
Office Department of the United
States is ready and willing to take
over the delivery service of ail the
retail dry goods stores in New York
and every other city in the United
States, according to E. L. Howe, exe
cutive secretary of the National Dry
Goods Association, who said the an
nouncement was based on state
ments tftade to him in Washington
last week by Postmaster General
Burleson.
The proposal of the Postmaster
General, he said, was that the re
tail dry goods stores surrender their
delivery equipment to' the govern
ment for at least the duration of
the war. and then mall their pack
ages according to parcel post rates,
special arrangements for handling
the business being made by the Post
Office Department. Mr. Howe add
ed that the department had been
experimenting in the retail delivery
service in several cities with suffi
cient success to demonstrate the
practicability of the undertaking.
He was not at liberty to name the
cities where the experiments had
been made.
The plan, which has Mr. Howe's
strong endorsement as a war meas
ure. will be submitted to the retail
trade, the merchants in anv locality
being free to decide for themselves
whether they adopt it. The attitude
of New York merchants is still in
doubt, as few of them, apparently,
have heard enough of the details of
the plan or studied It long enough
to come to final decisions.
Big Crops Expected
Next Fall, Says Expert
Chicago, June 19. 'The prospects
for a record-breaking food vield are
such that I can see no justification for
abnormal prices." said C. .1. Blanch
ard. chief statistician of the Federal
reclamation service, who has com
pleted a survey of crops on reclama
tion projects, and stopped in Chicago
yesterday. ,
"It is going to he a whale of a crop,"
said Mr. Rlanchard, "hut the problem
remains to get labor on to these great
tracts for the harvest."
Projects In Colorado, New Mexico.
Texas. I'tah, Idaho. Nebraska and
South Dakota were stirveyed He es
timated that while gross returns were
S3B an acre last year, they would he
S4O this year If properly harvested.
Blanchard found that farmers had
extended themselves to Increase pro
duction and that hankers and
merchants had patriotically assisted
by granting credits often without se
curity. A less satisfactorv discovery
Wi.s that England's mistake In enlist
ing skilled farmers had been repeated
on many of the projects. Their
places will have to be taken hv Inex
perienced help, and that Mr. Blanch
ard said, is a serious handicap.

SEND RECRUITS
TO GETTYSBURG
Those Who Enlist Here Go
Into Regiments Just Back
From Border
Starting last evening, all men en
listed at the local recruiting station
for the Infantry will be sent to the
permanent training camp at Gettys
burg. It is believed this will be an
added Inducement to enlistment as
the men will be near their homes
and can receive visitors from their
home towns.
Two regiments of the regular army
have been brought from the Mexican
Border to Gettysburg. Each rei
ment will be "skeletoned," that Is the
trained men divided into other regi
ments and their places taken by
rookies who will have the advantage
of the older men's training.
Captain Harrell spoke this morn
ing of the very near possibility of the
draft for the regular army which is
still far below the quota needed by
June 30. Of the total number of men
sent to the regular army training
• camps at Columbus, Ohio. Saturday
and Sunday the Harrisburg district
recruited 50 per cent. Unless the
other sections of the State reach
their quota and bring the entire
State up to its required number, men
will be drafted to fill the deficit.
Recruiting yesterday in this dis
trict was again strong, Marysville
coming to the fore with three enlist
ments. The honor roll for yesterdny
is: Burt Rinehart, Marysville; John
A. Rinehart, 104 Lincoln street, and
Reid H. Fortenbaugh, 211 Maple
avenue, medical department; Ray
mond V. Martin, Chestnut street,

CIVIL SERVICE
POLICE BILL IS
UP TO GOVERNOR
House Refuses to Recall Meas
ure; Harrisburg One of
Cities Affected
The Mou.se of Representatives to
day refused to concur in a Senate
resolution to recall from the Gov
ernor the Craig; hiii to provide for
civil service for police in third
cities, which includes Harrisburg.
The vote was 28 in favor of the
resolution for recall and 125 against
it. The resolution orlslnated in the
Senate last night and it was stated
that the bill was to be recalled for
amendment. Charges were made on
the floor of the House this morning
that it was a scheme to kill the bill.
When the resolution came up Mr.
Wallace, raised the point
that the bill had not yet reached
the Governor, but the Speaker said
thai it was out of the custody of the
House. Mr. Wallace criticised the
Senate action and Speaker Baldwin
said that he preferred that members
of one branch should not attack the
other body of the Legislature.
Mr. Milliron, Armstrong, raised the
point that the dlscuosion was out of
order, but was not sustained. Mr.
Wallace then declared that the bill
had passed the House when there
was a large attendance and that to
recall meant the death of the bill.
Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, contended
that to recall the bill would be sim
ply fair play for the Senate, which
asked it.
Mr. Sarig, Berks, asserted in a
speech that "the same trick" was
tried on the same bill two years ago.
and Mr. Campbell, Butler, said that
the resolution was open to suspicion.
Mr. Black, Dauphin, said Harris
burg favored the bill and urged that
the recall plan be defeated, while
Mr. Stltes. Montgomery, said that if
the bill was ever recalled it would
be Riven "a hypodermic injection"
in a Senate committee and never be
heard of more.
