Respond to Appeal to Aid
Soldier Lads of Eighth
In response to the appeal of the

ation in their big undertaking _of
providing 1,500 copies of the "New
Make Christ King" Song Books, for
the soldier lads of the Elgth Regi

nounces that various socieites and
individuals have rallied generously
to the support of this great enter
prise.
The Keystone League of the Park
Street Evangelical Church, in a re
cent report from the chairman of
the Song B6ok fund, states that
"the young and old are contributing
liberally to this fine cause." Mrs.
Charles K. Curtis is in charge of
this fund for that society and it is
largely due to her untiring interest
and "livewire" efforts that the Park
Street Society is meeting with such
unusual success.
Another large budget was given
toward this sum by the Zion Lu
theran Church, of Enola, through
the enthusiastic work of their presi
dent. Miss Carie Knaby, secretary
of the Harisburg Christian Union.
Efficiency and hard work on the
part of these leagues have brought
about these big results for this
cause, which other societies are
urged to emulate in order that the
sum expended for the books will be
soon paid.

Berlin Heads Asks That

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

on paper."

ernoon from the text. "Though He
Load Me Through the Valley of the

The Rev. James Cunningham, pas

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.

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.
