LEMOYNE HONORS
ITS SOLDIERS
Parade, Reception and Din
ner For Machine Gun Co.
and Bridge Guard
Lemoyne, July 24.—Lemoyne resi
dents who have enlisted in the serv
ice of their country, members of the
Eighth Regiment machine gun com
pany, located in Lemoyne, and mem
bers of the Philadelphia regiment
guarding the Cumberland Valley rail
road bridge, stationed at the eastern
end of Hummel avenue, were hon
-1 ored with a street parade and banquet
by the residents of Lemoyne last
night.
Never before in the history of this
young borough had such an elaborate
celebration been planned. The parade
was one long to be remembered by
the patriotic features and the demon
stration of loyalty to the flag as well
as paying respects to the boys who
have enlisted.
One of the outstanding features of
the evening's festivities was the pres
entation of a gofd watch to Captain
Ralph C. Crow, of the machine gun
company, who is a prominent resi
dent. Captain Crow was called to
the stand and presented with the to
ken by the Rev. Paul R. Koontz. pas
tor of the United Brethren Church, in
behalf of the townspeople. Captain
Crow in response thanked the citizens
of the town for the gift and the great
reception given the boys.
The parade was a unique demon
stration in every way. Forming at
Lemoyne Square and divlved into
three divisions, the procession moved
promptly at 7.45 o'clock.
Heading the line of march were
several scores of Lemoyne's young
boys and girls carrying an American
flag 50 by 75 feet in size. The Civil
War and Spanish-American War vet
erans in automobiles were next in
the procession. Then came the ma

One Autocar---Now Use Seven
Elmer E. Moore & Bro., Inc., of Reading, Pa., says: "We
bought our first Autocar in August 1914, and the results for ten
months were so entirely satisfactory that we ordered another one
in June, 1915, and are now operating seven Autocars. Their
strength and simplicity have been demonstrated to us in the
hardest kinds of tests in all weather conditions."

OPPOSE ATTACK
ON NAVAL BASES
Little Likelihood Allies Will
Risk Dangerous Movetat
Heligoland
Washington, July 24.—Word has
reached the Navy Department that
British officers of the Grand Fleet,
officers of the French navy and Ad
miral W. S, Sims, -in command of
the American naval forces In Euro
pean waters, absolutely oppose any
plan involving an attack in force
against the German submarine bases.
The present naval strategy of Ad
miral Sir John Jellicoe, Chief of
Naval Staff, which sanctions no ma
terial change in British naval policy,
it appears, is endorsed by nine
tenths of the best opinion obtainable
in the Entente navies. There is no
likelihood of its being changed for
the present.
Talk in American newspapers
about a proposed attack on the Ger
man bases Is described as an imita
tion of ews expressed in London
by a so -what larger following of
amateur strategists and armchair
critics.
Admiral Sims is against the Idea
of sending the dreadnaught squad
rons, backed by other forces, agaltißt
the masked batteries and mine fields
of- the Germans In an attempt to
blaze a way Into the U -boat bases.
He has said a battle under these cir
cumstances would be unfavorable to
the Grand Fleet.
Powerful Shore Batteries
None of the dreadnaughts except
the most modern and powerful ships,
carrying guns of the longest range
and the greatest weight, could hope
to put up a fight against the pow
erful batteries that defend the Ü
boat bases.
Besides these powerful land bat
teries it must be considered that the
Gftiuan fleet, reinforced effectively
from land, would have to be reck
oned with. Mines and submarines
would be additional dangers l to any
attacking force.
The main point concerns the ne
cessity for coping with the German
land batteries as a necessary adjunct
to successful naval attack. Unless a
heavy fire could be concentrated on

these batteries while the attack Js in
progress it would be suicidal for any
navy to attempt to operate within
range of their guns.
Some British monitors, it is said,
carry guns of the requisite power.
: Their loss would not be of vital Im
portance. But the batteries of these
] vessels are too limited to maintain

U. S. Ready to Build 22,000
Airplanes For Work Over
Battle Lines
Washington, July 24.—Plans for the
construction of the great air fleet
which Is designed to effect the defeat
of Germany are Well developed. The
perfected program of construction
provides for 22,000 airplanes and a
force of 100.000 men. trained to main
tain and pilot them. Five thousand
of these planes are to be ready for
service before January J, and after
that date they will be turned out at
the rate of thousands per month. With
$640,000,000 immediately available
through the passage of the aviation
appropriation bill by Congress last
week and with al arrangements well
in hand, nothing stands in the way of
the prompt and effective execution of
this program.
The automobile Industry, with all its
facilities, is to be utilized in the build
ing of this great air fleet. Two of
the biggest plants in Detroit are to
devote their resource to the construc
tion of motors. Another plant Is now
erecting $1,000,000 worth of building*
for. the construction of planes and
