6 PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS CITY INTERESTED IN WASTE SAVING Harrisburg Enters Heartily Into Spirit of Nursery Home Campaign Residents of Harrisburg are co operating heartily in the campaign to redeem waste conducted by the Nursery Home. The 18,000 sanitary bags distributed are being rapidly filled and Indications are that an enormous amount of cast-off articles will be turned Into cash to help the organization continue Its work. Each bag has a printed list of ar ticles most desirable. As soon as the bags ar distributed auto trucks will begin collecting them and the work will continue until the entire city has been covered. Bugle calls will announce the arrival of collect ing trucks in each street. Will Help Reduce Paper Cost Close attention to the detail of sav ing rags and waste material, if fol lowed In this and other cities, would be a great aid in reducing not only the cost of paper, but many other lines of production. There is the utmost need of such conservation. In past years hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been burned In back-yard bonfires or thrown upon ash heaps. Much of this could have been redeemed and the proceeds used for just such work as the Nursery Home Is doing it the possibilities of conservation had been properly im pressed upon the minds of the people. Work of Nursery 'Homo "There should be no doubt about the success of the campaign," a prominent person Interested In the work of the Nursery Home said to day. "This institution, Is doing a work highly important to the whole community: the work could be greatly extended and improved If the funds were available. No better movement than the waste saving campaign could have been launched to help the Nursery Home without making a direct appeal for money." If you have received a bag. begin filling it at once, for the collectors will be in your neighborhood soon. If you have not received one, have your waste ready to put into one, for every home in the city will have a bag in the course of a few days. MOTOR FROM MICHIGAN W.

YOUNG PEOPLE TO DO THEIR'BIT' C. E. Societies Give 1,500 Copies of Song Books to Soldiers It's clip, sew, make bandages, gather book* and various literature, knit, plan benefits, accumulate all necessary supplies possible, in all, tasks being dne for the soldiers these days, despite the fact that the thermometer registers 98 H degrees. Amid all the dash and whir of differ ent organizations, Individuals and corps of workers doing their share, great and meager along this wide and extensive avenue of service open to the entire public, the young peo ple of this city have not forgotten the soldier boys. On the contrary, they are zealous in their efforts to do something, judging from an ex tract written to the various societies of the Harrisburg and Dauphin county Christian Endeavor Union. Following Is a compendium of the letters. "About July 15, two thousand of the young men from Dauphin and surrounding counties were called to the training camps wheres they will remain in abeyance for afflclal or ders to sail for France. "The officers of the city C. E. Union with the approval of the coun ty president are anxious that the endeavorers "do their bit" to help bring cheer and comfort to the sol diers and In a measure care for their spiritual welfare while they are de prived of home and friends. The Rev. H. Nelson Bassler, chaplain of the Eighth Regiment, at a recent meeting of the C. E. Cabinet, told of the serious handicap in the religious service of camp, due to the lack of gospel songbooks. He stated that he and the soldiers would greatly ap preciate the gift of a thousand song books, for It was frequently through the singing of gospel songs that the heart of the spldier was most readily touched. "The officers of the city C. E. Union realized that the young peo ple would welcome the opportunity of bringing the gospel to the boys of the Eighth Regiment, many of whom are members of the Christian En deavor, by presenting them with the "New Make Christ King" song Books. "If any society through the neglect of mailing has failed to receive such a letter, please forward the contribu tion to John D. Crider, or Charles R. Bartley, of 1924 Bellevue road, at the request of the city president of the union, Charles Urich. The op portunity to aid in the cause of pro viding books for the soldier lads is not confined to the Christian Endea | vors alone, but to any one interested in this enterprise."

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, July 6.—lt is one thing to stand beside or lie in front of the British guns and watch them hufl their daily tons of hate Into the Ger man lines. It is quite something else again to be a German and have all this hate hurled at you. The British remember the days when they were all but sunless and the Germans turned upon them their torrents of explosive Are. To-day, and every day, they are paying oft that old score with oompound interest. German prisoners tell more and more of the horror of existence with in their lines when the British guns are in angry mood. They teil also of the growing strain upon body and mind, of the life they are compelled to live as deep in the bowels of the earth as they can grovel, often fight ing for the safer places at the lower levels. All this Is having its effect upon the enemy morale. It was a magnificent battile spec tacle to watch day after day the British artillery preparation for the fighting at Messlnes Ridge on June 7th. It Is far more interesting, how ever, to read the story from the "other side" as told in the translated copy of a German Corporal's diary from May 28th onward. Here It Is: Horrom of MrsalncN "May 28th—The English have be come more active in the Wytschaete salient. At 6.35 we proceeded by forced marches to Menln. where the division assembles. We reach the support lines at Comines and are at once greeted by a round of shrapnel. On we go to mergency and alarm quarters, lying in the meadows, as It is too dangerous in a house. In the. night the firing was almost in supportable, yet I slept tolerably well. "June 2d—We visit the reserve po sitions. It is an absolutely terrible corner Into which we have come, a regular rat-trap. I doubt if we ever get out safe. We move oft and take our quarters in a cellar on the cha teau road. From 2 P. M. the English commence an intense fire on back areas and batteries. As we are lying just in front of a battery we are un der heavy fire. Every minute we are ready to bolt. Heavy Canualtlex "June 3d—Heavy fire all the night. Sometimes the back area is gassed. In front they say things are in a frantic state, no longer any trace of trenches. The Firjt Battalion hasi heavy casualties. What happened at Arras will happen to us here. About 11 o'clock the English gave us drum fire. At 3 o'clock a great hurricane of fire directed o nthe front trenches: In the evening again heavy fire on all communication trenches. At night gas shells are fired on a large scale; the whole place stinks of gas. "June 4th—Midday, heavy fire in front. In the afe-rnoon increased ar tillery activity, in the evening heavy bursts of firing in front, and every thing is again heavily gassed. Lively fire continues the whole night. Many casualties. The men of the Krieg schule course are melting away con tinually. It is a regular plague spot they have pushed us Into again, worse than Arras. The mood of all troops is almost one of despair under the heavy English fire. * "June s—Throughout three nights artillery activity has been Intense. To-night we go up in relief. Who knows what fate has in store for us. We are half mad with the firing. If only the English would come soon; then the whole thing would be set tled and this hell have its end. The four lays up In front fill me with horror. Toward midnight the bom bardment increases and all the routes of approach are kept under fire by the English. "We Are All Half Cro*s" "At 12 o'clock our relief comes and we are obliged to advance in the most, violent shrapnel and shell fire. In spite of the mad fire we go on. At 12.30 we reach the gigantic Raab- AUGUST 2, 1917. wald shell-crater field.# Under fire which seems wilder than the fires of hell we advance from shell-crater to shell-crater to the Dammweg. From here we go to the right and Ue pro visionally in shell holes and not till later In the blown-ln dugouts. All formations are broken up, the com pany is In confusion, no group to gether. Already many casualties have occurred. I got Into a dugout which Is at least splinter proof. In the dugout we are all on top of one another. We make ourselves as small as possible, but every one wants to find a place. It Is hardly Imaginable that man can bear so much. We are all half crazy." ini—, .ini n mm | Witmer, Bair & Witmer I Walnut near Second | Q Q Summer Business Hours 8.30 A. M. to 5 P. M., Ex cept Saturday at 9 P.

There is comparatively little coal stored in the various retail yards. Some of the yards are prac tically bare, the dealers taking care of their cus tomers with whatever coal they have been able to get. Some sizes are practically unobtainable. The demand for coal will be added to with the return of vacationists to his home after Labor day. It is just a question of time when we will be com pelled to stop taking orders for future delivery.
