2 MANY SEE CO. I ON GUARD MOUNT AT ISLAND CAMP Governor's Troop Tries Sig nal Practice on Cap- itol Dome A large crowd of visitors wit nessed the guard mount ceremony at' the island last evening. Following the drill, a concert was given by the Eighth regiment band. Captain Robert D. Jenkins* was the officer in charge. The officer of the guard was First Lieutenant Charles W. Thomas. Sergeant Ralph E. Pol lock was sergeant major. Corporals of the squads were Alfred W. Fry no er, Arthur R. Fitzgerald, Daniel W, Kinsley and Robert Dengler. After the inspection, Captain Baker, of headquarters company, reviewed the guard. Prior to the dismissal of Company 1. Lieutenant Thomas announced the following promotions, which had been n ade by Captain Jenkins: Privates C. R. Putt and J. S. Rhine, to privates of the first class. In the absence of First Sergeant Charles M. Graeff, Sergeant Ralph E. Pollock was pro moted to first sergeant. This appoint ment may be a temporary one, and was made because of the fact that First Serjeant Graeff had obtained leave of absence to attend the officers training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. Many at ltanee The military dance which was given by the Eighth regiment medical corps at Fort Washington last evening was largely attended. Nearly two hundred persons were present. Another mili tary dance will be held by the ma chine gun company at Fort Wash ington on Tuesday evening. Company 1 men have given up hope of a quick transfer to the training camp in Georgia. It is known that the camp there is not in condition to receive a large number of recruits, and officers now express the opinion that the men on the Island may re main there for two weeks longer. The men of Company I will probably be the first to leave, and the others will follow shortly afterward. \vlatlon Corps Full After to-day no more recruits will be received for enlistment in the avi ation section of the signal corps. Im mediately upon receipt of this in- i formation at the army headquarters. 315 Market street, the word was passed on to all of the recruiting sta tions in this district. Although enlistment in this branch of service opened but a few weeks ' ago, the branch has proven very pop-| ular. At the local headquarters iti was said to-day that fully seventy per cent, of the men selected the avia tion section. Hundreds of young men have meant to enlist as "flyer^." On Sick l.cnve Sergeant John M. Barber, who has ; been at Johnstown, has returned to j headquarters here. Sergeant Barber n-ado a fine record at Johnstown, and I will be a valuable man at the recruit- ! ing station. Corporal Evan H. Stout, of the local I headquarters, has been placed on sick i leave. While on his way here from Johnstown, Corporal Stout was thrown from his motorcycle and suf fered a fractured knee. He came to this place in a driving rain, and paid no attention to his severe Injuries until he arrived at his destination. Ezekiel Hughes, of Ofcerlin, and Earl L. Fox, of West Fairvlew, have been accepted for the aviation section, signal corps, and have gone to Co ll minis, Ohio. Chester W. Conway, of Hershey. selected the infantry and was sent to Gettysburg. Quartermaster Here Quartermaster W. E. Quirk, who was fcrmcrly located in Harrisburg and vas recently transferred to active service, returned to Harrisburg yes terday on a short leave of absence. He is now quartermaster on the Fred e-ricii der Grosse, an interned German vessel, and expects to sail in the near future. A telegram was received yesterday by Sergeant Howard B. Ellinger, of the signal reserve corps, informing l.im that hereafter applicants who successfully pass the test for service nay be sworn in at the army recruit ing headquarters. First Lieutenant It. W. Lesher and Captain W. F. Har rell are commissioned officers there. Enlistments in the signal reserve ci rps since yesterday afternoon in clude Jercv J. Arms, 1936 Swatara street, and Hurford Wod and Clarence A. Blair, of Ridgeway. Signal From Capltot Members of the Governor's Troop were given semaphore practice this morning. Some of the men were sta tioned on the dome of the State Cap itol building and signaled the mes sages to the ordnance department of the state Arsenal. At first there was some difficulty in understanding the signals due to the fact that the dome is finished wih white granite and does not furnish a good background, but the experiment as a whole was an en tire success. This afternoon the Governor's Troop will play a baseball team from one of the New York infantry companies.

SENATE DELAYS ACTION ON WAR TAX MEASURE Finance Committee's Rooms Broken Into and Papers . Stolen By Assorinlrd Press Washington. Aug. 25.—After a brief session to-day the Senate recessed until Monday without notion on the war tax bill. The absence of senators, conference by both factions in the contest for raising income and war profits tax rates, and reluctance to spend the day in perfunctory speechmaklng induced leaders to agree to the recess. Leaders of those advocating greater conscription of wealth met and dis cussed the question of leadership in nt\t week's tight to raise the income and war tax profits rates. Since the defeat of Senator LaFollette's amend n ents, some senators have thought the proposals would draw better sup port if presented by some one else. it was learned to-day that during the last week, while the dispute over the finance committee's revision of the bill was before the Senate, the com mitteeroom was tAriee broken into at nlglit and papers in the custody of Chairman Simmons were stolen. Noth ing of Importance, it was said, was lost. Proposed amendments and sta tistics of treasury experts on the bill are said to be the oirly things which were missing.
