NEITHER FEAR
NOR FLINCH
SAYS CARDINAL
U. S. Soldiers Told They Go
to War As Christians
and Americans
By Associated Press
Framingham, Mass., Aug. 31.
Cardinal O'Connell came hero to-day
to celebrate early mass at Camp 51c-
Ginnis, where members of the One
Hundred and Fifth infantry are sta
tioned.
At the conclusion of the service tho
cardinal spoke to the men of their
duty to America and civilization in
the present conflict.
' The head of Christaindom and
the leader of democracy, our Holy
Father the Pope, and our peace lov
ing President, are both working," he
said, "for the same ultimate pur
pose, permanent peace, and their
united endeavors, with God's help,
will surely win. And you, with po
fect, serene faith in our holy pon
tiff's prayers and perfect serene con
fidence in our President's purpose
will by your courage, your self con
trol, your discipline, aid powerfully
the tremendous spiritual force re
sulting from the noble approach
ment in intention and sentiment of
the two greatest influences in the
whole world, the head of the old his
toric church and the head of Amer
ican democracy the two powers
which will, God helping both, in the
end succeed in routing this spectre
of awful war and binding all vhe
peoples of the earth in understand
ing and amity.
Justice and Fairness
" 'The basis of all future peace
must be justice, and fairness, and the
common rights of manking.' These
are our President's own words; these
1 know to be the identical senti
ments of the Pope.
"You constitute a goodly part of
the great heart of America which
yearns for a lasting peace and is
willing to offer her best that all the
peoples of the earth may be rescued
from the perpetual menace of war,
and all the cruelties of constant con.
flict."
Reminding the soldiers that duty
had calle' them to a high service—
a service demanding perhaps the
greatest of all sacrifices Cardinal
O'Connell said:
"As Christians you will not fear,
and as Americans you must not
flinch."
City League Delegates
Depart After Viewing
Park System Here
Delegates to the eighteenth annual
convention of the League of Third
Class Cities closed their three-day
stay here with a tour over the city
parkway system yesterday afternoon.
A number of the visiting officials who
had intended to leave earlier in the
day, remained after they had heard
several speakers praise the Harrts
burg public parks. During the trip
the delegates were taken to Reservoir
Park, where the annual Romper Day
exercises were being held.' The of
ficials left for their homes late in the
afternoon and last evening.
Because of the interest shown in
the address by City Kngineer M. B.
• 'owden on street paving assessments,
Harrisburg officials have been asked
to collect data on the subject so that
the law committee can make a report
at Krie next year suggesting legisla
tion which will make the system uni
form in all third class cities.
Struck on Head With
Club During Argument
Alexander Mitchell, a Southern
negro who has been employed by the
Warren-Moore Company in the erec
tion of the big Pennsylvania Railroad
warehouse at Second and Mulberry
streets, was considerably used up yes
terday when a white man named Mc-
Cloud struck him over the head with
a cudgel.
There had been some trouble be
tween the men, when the assistant
foreman, Ray Knox, took a hand. He
thought all differences had been set
tled, when the negro approached Mc
* 'loud, and the latter struck him a
blow on the head. The colored man
waV taken to the Harrisburg Hospital.
It was found that his injuries were
not serious, and he was dismissed.
Police are looking for McCloud, who
disappeared shortly after the affair
happened.
Meal Tickets May Be *
Used For Lodging Charges
Colonel Sweeney, of the i?tate
Registration Board, has intruded
local boards that men who will go
to the training camps may use the
meal tickets issued by the govern
ment for lodging as well. The War
Department failed to enclose lodging
tickets for Pennsylvania draft quo
tas, Colonel Sweeney is working out
a list of ftints to draft boards where
by the transportation problem may
be greatly simplified and will ask
boards to suggest other points of
mobilization for local districts where
lailroad connections specified in the
first order are inconvenient. This
may result in changes of transporta
tion points for draft quotas to fol
low the first call.

The faithful old fire engine, which
has answered the call of the flrebell

George Pratt, who has had the
honor of driving the engine to nu
merous fires, was unable to attend as
it fell to his lot to remain at the sta

HARRISBURG GSSfifc TELEGRAPH
U. S. Naval Forces Convoy
Safely Merchant Ships
Past U-Boat Dangers
Washington. Aug. 31. American
naval forces are convoying merchant
craft across the Atlantic, it was dis
closed officially yesterday at the Navy
Department, and examination of the
records show that the loss of convoy
ed ships by submarines has averaged
less than one-half of 1 per cent.
Details of the convoy system are
withheld. It was stated, however, that
American war vessels are regularly
escorting fleets of British, French or
other allied merchantmen across, the
protection being supplemented when
the danger zone is reached by the de
stroyers and other patrol craft.
American naval officials believe an
effective system for checking the
submarine menace Is being built up
gradually but certainly. Many de
vices and methods enter into the
task. Among other things, depth
bombs are proving effective. Ofllcial
reports indicate that American de
stroyers have accounted for several
U-boats with these weapons.
No I'-boat has been captured hy the
Americans.
It Is the best judgment of high of
ficials. however, that several have
been sunk hy Admiral Sims' destroy
ers, and they are more •confident than
ever that the submarine menace will
be substantially abated as the number
of destroyers and other craft avail
able is increased.
