Grass Only Food Little
Children Can Get to
Keep From Starvation
By Associated Press
NVw York, Aug. 27.—More than
50,000 children under 12 years of
1 age, all dependent on outside relief
for necessities of life, are in Leba
non, and an additional 25,000 orph
ans are in Syria, not including Pales
tine, according to reports of mission
aries from the Near East who recent- ]
ly arrived here. It was asserted by j
the missionaries that it was extreme- I
ly doubtful whether many of these
children could survive the coming
winter, if relief does not reach them
jin a more substantial form than
heretofore.
In many instances the missionar
| ies said, little children scarcely old
I enough to feed themselves were
| found by relief Workers living abso
! lutely alone, begging for. enough
food to keep them alive, and failing
i in that, subsisting on grass. The ma
; .iority of these were girls, who had
! survived fue to greater powers of
j resistance or to having been fed by
I their brothers, who starved.
Another Mill Will Be
Operated if Enough
Workers Can Be Secured
It is the purpose of the Lalance
and Grosjean Mfg. Co., Division and
Jefferson streets, if the necessary
number of mill helpers can be ob
tained, to operate an additional mill

ed by the main factory at Wood

exceedingly busy, having a quantity
of orders from the United States

The outlook was never brighter
for a sweeping Republican victory in

of the rural districts.
"There is not a ripple of dissatis
faction visible anywhere," said Sen-1
ator Beidleman to-day. "The rank;

and there is great unity of opinion,
ns to who the candidates shall be 1

Democrats aie demoralized. The 1
Republican vote will show a tremen
dous swing of public sentiment."
Senator Beidleman has spent al
most every Saturday in the outlying
districts this summer as the guest of
organizations that have invited him
to speak at their outings and while
he has not carried politics into any
of these gatherings he has had am
ple opportunity to speak with dis
trict leaders and to sound out the
feelings of voters in general.

THE' QUOTA HERE IS 423
That Number of Dauphin
County Youths Expected
to Respond
Dr. Charles B. Fager, principal of
the Technical high school, has been
appointed chairman for the Boys'
Working Reserve Committee in Dau
phin county. He has accepted the
appointment and is now formulating
the committee which will assist him
in the work of procuring volunteers
between the ages of 16 and 21, with
their parents' consent, who will vol
unteer for the various kinds of work
for which they are fitted and which
they prefer to help Uncle Sam win
the war with Germany, taking the
places of men who go to the front.
In an interview to-day Dr. Fager
saidr
"Pennsylvania's enrollment for the
Boys' Working Reserve, U. S. A., has
been apportioned by counties for the
speedy recruiting of the quota of
23,000 boys requested by the United
States Department of Labor. The
apportionment means enrollment of
one boy in every sixteen in the state,
or one boy to every 100 men of
voting age. Dauphin county's quota
is 423.
"The Reserve is an organization
which aims to supply emergency
workers to replace labor shortage
caused by the draft."
Buttons for Those Who Knroll
Dr. Fager said that he understands
the importance of keeping boys in
school as long as possible, and he is
fully in accord with the Governor's
proclamation along these lines, but
when the government decides that
boys are needed to help win the war
by placing them in men's places
when the regular workers have gone
to the front, the need cannot be
denied.
Buttons will be provided for boys
who enroll, but the national bronze
badge is made only after the boys
have given satisfactory emergency
service. The enrollment will he made
as soon as possible and previous to
that time Dr. Fager and the com
mitteemen who will assist him will
get into touch with the industries of
the county to ascertain their needs.
