FRIDAY EVENING,
THIS ORGANIZATION MAKES
SHARPSHOOTERS OF MEN
Harrisburg Rifle Club is Doing Great Work in Prep
aration For War; Citizens are Taught Mysteries of
Military Rifle and Heavy Calibered Revolvers
Silently behind the preparations]
for war being made in the city is a'
little group of men a great |
work In an unostentatious way. It j
is the Harrisburg liitie Club and its
object is to make sharpshooters of
men.
Instructions with the military rifle!
and revolver is given by competent!
teachers. Thirty-five members of the j
organization liavo already enlisted i
and more will follow:
Details of the great work of this!
organization are given in a letter to
the editor by Harry A. Douglas, pres-)
ident. It follows:
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Much has been said and written!
concerning the activities of local or- !
ganizations toward preparation fori
war: how our chapter of the Red i
Cross is laboring faithfully, our re-1
cruiting officers working day and>
night, and our corporations doing!
their utmost to get Uncle Sam ready
for the fray. If you will permit me, i
however, 1 would like to give the i
readers of (he TELEGRAPH a little |
information concerning the activities!
of an organization which I believe ;
is doing and for over a year has been i
doing a most valuable work with
little publicity.
Rapid Growth
I refer to the Harrisburg Rifle j
Club, an organization which from ai
membership of fourteen a little over
a year ago, now has 140 active, ener-1
gctic members and boasts of as many
expert riflemen as any civilian riiie
club in the country.
This club is one of many thousand |
throughout the United States, under!
the direct regulation and supervision
of the National Rifle Association and j
the War Department. Its only ex
cuse for existence is to teach men of |
military age the gospel of straight j
shooting with the military rifle and
4>istol.
Our local organization is composed [
largely of young men of the 9on-|
scription age. To date we have In I
the service of the United States thir
ty-five members.
We are proud of this and prouder!
] still of the fact that wo have sent
I these boys away with the knowledge
j that they will make their presence
felt when the time comes for them
j to face the Teuton trenches.
Know How to Slioot
We offer these same advantages
i to any able-bodied male citizen over
< 16 years of age, whether or not he
| expects to serve in the Army. There
| are no strings or conditions to be
| coming enrolled in our organization
I beyond the paying of a nominal fee
toward the expenses incident to op
crating the range and subscribing to
our rules.
Our officers are sacrificing their
i own time to give the young men of
! Harrisburg a chance to learn to
! shoot the military rifle under all
j sorts of conditions, in the hope that
by so doing we may, be the
means of saving their lives "some
| where in France" later on. It is a
| duty we owe to them,
j All we ask from the citizens of
I Harrisburg is their support from
| the younger men, their time on the]
range; from those who by reason*of
their years cannot practice with the
I rifle, some financial aid, in order that
j the range may be kept in operation
I daily throughout the season. The
club has exhausted its resources in
| the construction of a modern range
I and while a few of our citizens have
come to our assistance, it has not
I been sufficient to meet our needs.
When the people of this com
munity learn what we are doing I
am sure, from past observations,
| they will respond to our call to arms
j and "boost" us along as they have
! always been willing to do in other
j causes.
Fathers should insist upon their
| sons getting this training, and they
j themselves should visit the range
: some fine Saturday and see a sight
that would make them prouder than
ever of America's young men.
We have received contributions
from the following citizens and
members of the club amounting to
1 $319: M. S. Heishey, J. Moore Camp-

RAILROAD
IMPORTANTWORK
FOR ENGINEERS
Railroad Men Must Build
Lines and Bridges; Take
Along Rolling Stock
Railroad employes who will soon
leave for France for special railroad
duty will play an Important part in
tho war. These men make up the
N'inetenth Regiment now locato In
Philadelphia. In this regiment are
a number of shopmen from Luck
now, Enola, Marysvllle and other
points on the main line of the Penn
sylvania railroad. Referring to the
work abroad tho Railway Gazette
says:
"Tho value of railroad materials
and rolling stock alone, now being
purchased to provide in advance for
the needs of the American Army
abroad, is about five times that of
all purchases made annually in this
country for the Panama canal dur
ing the last four or five years, ac
cording to a statement authorized
by the chief of engineers of the
army.
"American engineers must under
take large operations in the con
struction and repair of bridges in
France. They must repair and
maintain the roads and highways
over which supplies will be brought
up to the battle line. Much of the
latter work will he done within
range of the enemy's guns.
What Americans Will Do
"Our engineers will equip the
wharves and piers in France utilized
by American forces with the ter
minal facilities required by our
armies. The lumber for this work
will be cut from- European forests
by regiments of American foresters.
This method will save burdening our
ships with lumber from the United
States. One regiment of foresters Is
being organized, and several more
will be raised. They will carry with
them complete lumbermen's outfits,
including sawmill equipment.
"Material for extensive standard
gage and narrow gage railroads
will be sent to Europe, to enable the
engineers to carry out their task.
The lines to be built will both trans
port our troops to the front and
handle all transportation behind the
firing line. The lines running up to
the front will remove wounded and
salvage gathered from the field.
Lines of this tyije are broad, gage,
feeding numerous narrow gage
spurs which radiate from the main
line and accommodate supply trains,
often hauled by gasoline engines.
Carry Tlieir Rolling Stock
"The Engineers' Corps will carry
its own rolling stock to the theater
of war. This, in itself, will be a gi
gantic operation.
"The engineers must construct at
harbors in the United States
wharves, piers and storehouses of
sulficient capacity to handle all ma
terials and supplies to be shipped to
France. An efficiency system has
been worked out to provide against
delay in loading and unloading
which might interfere in any way
with the maximum movement of the
shipping available. Ample and up
to-date terminal facilities must be
provided in ports on both sides
of the Atlantic. Our ehotage of
ships on the water makes efficiency
in docks doubly important, and the
speed of the transport service na
turally depends upon the number of
tons actually moving all the time,
and not upon the amount of ton
nage available."
Veteran Employes Now
