Berlin Heads Asks That Germans Be Made Free Amsterdam. Aug. 3. Burgomaster Relcke. of Berlin, hits out with re markable bluntness in passing Judg ment on the International situation In German* In an article In Monday's Berliner Zeltung am Mittag, Just reached here. Replying to a ques tion as to whether Germany after three years of war was able to regis ter gains Internally, as well as ex ternally, Berlin's chief magistrate said: "The answer Is but a hesitating af firmative. We seem to have become a . nation of profiteering hucksters. Those who are not corrupted by the mammon chase are haunted with a fear lest, after all. the country Is slipping back Into the rut of official ism. We are still kept In leading strings. We are not really a free people. "We call for the benefit of the coun sels of a dozen worklngmen, but the word Is quietly passed from the Gov ernment table: "These fellows can not be told all. Just treat them like children ' "What Is wanted is a parliament thut has power, not a mere legislative machine, and a Government of men who are educated to believe that a bureaucrat necessarily knows better than an ordlnarv mortal. Let us be a free people, but not merely free on paper." FORMER RESIDENTS HERE The Rev. Henry B. Stfock and Mrs. Strock, formerly Miss Katharine Rei ley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

STORMBREAKSUP THINGS AT CAMP Terrific Wind Sweeps Over Stoverdale Grove During Afternoon Service Stoverdale. Pa.. Aug. 3.—While the Rev. N. D. Llnebaugh, of Har risburg, was preaching yesterday aft ernoon from the text. "Though He Load Me Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death I Will Fear No Evil," a terrific windstorm swept over the grove, breaking branches from the tops of the majestic oaks, breaking the back of the hot wave and breaking up the Afternoon meet ing. The Rev. James Cunningham, pas tor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Middletown, preached the morning sermon. The Young People's Meeting was last night under the direction of the Rev. B. L C. Baer, and was a patri otic service in honor of the boys of Stoverdale resort who have enlisted In the various departments of Gov ernment service. Company H, of the United Boys Brlgrade, under the lead ership of the Rev. J. G. Smith, of the Fourth Street Church of Christ, Har risburg, which is camping on the "bluff" near the grounds, attended the servloe in a body. The Rev. Smith gave an interesting address and pa triotic selections were sung by the little Brown brothers. The Rev. Baer gave a talk on the qualifications of a good soldier. The pavilion was beautifully decorated in the national colors. The list ot' names of the Sto \erdale boys, as well as the names of the Boys Brigade, who have enlisted was read and prayer was offered for them by the Rev. John C. Blerl, of Mahanoy City. "Where Art Thou?" was Miss Hulllnger's evening theme. ANOTHER UNIT GOES FORTH THIS MORNING [Continued From First Piific.] wealth Band, representatives from the Veterans of Foreign Service, City Grays Veteran Association and the Harrisburg Reserves, in addition to the departing company. The parade marched over the downtown streets and upon arrival at the station the company >.stood at "attention" in double ifmk, surrounded by hundreds of friends and relatives. Colonel Demmlng Speaks Colonel H. C. Demmlng delivered an address to the soldiers in which he stated that in every war in which the United States had participated and even before the Revolutionary War Harrisburg always furnished more than the allotted quota of sol diers, and the city is keeping up the good work in the present conflict. In the Civil War. Captain E. C. Williams, of Harrisburg, was the first volunteer In the country to enlist in the service of the Union. He was afterward promoted to brigadier gen eral. Following the address by Colonel Deraming the band played the "Star-Spangled Banner." Im mediately after the strains of the na tional air had ceased the company marched Into the station and boarded the train for the training camp. The address of Colonel Demmlng in part follows: 0 "Lieutenant Souders and other members of Motor Truck Company No. fi: This ts another epoch in your soldier life, leaving home, and rela tives and friends, to a camp "from which the next movement will be to the battle front in a foreign land. "Your first thrill was when you were enrolled, physically examined, mustered Into service and put on the American soldier's uniform: for as soon as the khaki dress appeared you Immediately became a target for the foe. "You will undoubtedly do your duty: that is a characteristic feature of Harrlsburg soldiers. We believe that you will do more than your duty, for therein lies the secret of promotion. Obey the orders of those over you cheerfully, with alacrity and without question. Remember that a soldier is a human machine, a very small fraction of a great unit. "Harrlsburg has ever been noted for her patriotism. Away back in the French-Indian wars, and during the War for Independence, as well as during the strifes of 1812-1814, Harrisburg supplied more than her quota of soldiers. In the Mexican War, 184(1-1848, we were called upon to furnish one company, and we sent two. In the great Rebellion the number of volunteers far outnum bered the calls of 'Father Abraham': in the RpanEtsh-Amerlean War we had more volunteers than the gov ernment could take! and in this present war of all wars to date we are nearly 400 men above our quota; and in this great struggle you have helped to add to our city's fame. "Now you are leaving us to take part in the terrific strife. If you are wounded, try and have the wound elsewhere than, in the back; though many brave men have been struck there by flank firing. The great Gen eral Reynolds was hit in the back of the head at Gettysburg, but because he turned his head to hasten the bringing forward of his brave troops. "And now farewell. Relatives and friends (and you have no enemies in our Capital City) bid you an affectionate good-by. We hope and pray for your return: hut whether you do or not. you will never be forgotten here. We commend you to the God of Rattles: our Father's God, our God, and your God." Take Mascot* Along Members of the company were dis appointed last night when they re ceived orders- from Washington to the effect that the date of their de parture had been postponed. Lieu tenant Souders immediately got In communication with the War Depart ment and after much deliberation the orders were again rescinded and he was told to report at Mt. Gretna. For more than two weeks the company has anticipated the call to the colors and has drilled nightly at the Chest nut street hall. Members of the com pany were well pleased when they learned yesterday morning when the orders came to mobilise and at once prepared to leave. A French bulldog and a Boston terrier are two mascots which the boys hope to take with them when they sail for France.

Orders to that effect were received this morning at the local recruiting station. The same condi tions will be applicable to Guard en listments as those applying to the regular army.

Get Identification Tngs Guardsmen on the Island this morn ing reported the cooling breezes of last night helped to give them the first good rest of the week. The rain of yesterday afternoon gave them a short respite from drilling.

The "noncoms" received books of Instructions con taining the latest rules and regula tions for noncommissioned officers. Men Promoted Captain Robert D.

Collins to corporal, and the following men to be first-class privates: Francis R. Ulrich. Fern Sprenkle, Maurice C. Hoverter. The Eighth Regiment band, instead of practicing in the cool shades ot the trees this morning got a taste of the drill and marching in the rays ol the sun. The band has practiced in the grove between the bridges. This morning it was put through the drills and formations. Each of the captains is dally faced with a long line of men with pleas to be excused from some part of the day's duties. The excuses the mer. give vary from the Immediate neces sity for their attending the bedside of "a sick grandmother to permission for a few hours respite to get mar ried. The latter have been very much in evidence during the last few days. A large number of the Guardsmen seem determined to be sure of having some one waiting for them when they return from foreign duty. The offi cers have been as lenient as possible with passes that the men may become gradually accustomed to the army life and not mind the separation from the ones at home. Lykens Aviator Hurt in Fall With Airship Lykens, Pa., Aug. 3.—A telegram to his parents here yesterday stated that Sergeant Thomas E.
