Thousands of persons lined the sidewalks since the early aft rnoon. The ringing of bells and blowing of whistles at two i'clock was a signal for the gathering of an immense throng. All the demonstration accorded Company D upon their dc arture was a splendid one. this city surpassed all previous efforts his afternoon. Martial music, waving flags and the steady tramp of feet were ut items in the remarkable parade this afternoon, when civil, nilitary and religious orders joined in a tribute to the soldier oys who are sacrificing their all upon their country's altar. Ilarrisburg is to-day paying tribute to the brave boys of this ity and \icinity who leave this afternoon for Camp Hancock, ear Augusta, Georgia, where they will spend some months in ntensive training before leaving for France.

Ilarrisburg is proud of her sons this day. They are a fine lanly-looking company, and the fathers and mothers, sisters nd brothers, wives and sweethearts will never have occasion to ang their heads in shame when reports arc received from old ,-orld battlefields, of engagements in which the Eighth Regiment lays a prominent part. Hearts Go Out to Mothers Hearts go out to the mothers who give up their sons to-day. n the crowds lining the sidewalks this afternoon are some wives f soldier husbands, with little ones by their sides.

DESPERATE HAND TO-HAND BATTLE RESULTS IN DRAW Italians and Austrians Fight on Even Terms; Ger mans Withdraw By Associated Priss Udlne, Italy. Sept. 9.—The fight against the heights northeast of Go rizia continues night and day, during good and bad weather. The con tinued contest seems to the observer to be animated by superhuman force, the Italians and the Austrians almost constantly engaged in hand-to-hand encounters. A strange situation is brought about by the two forces, virtually equal in numbers, strength and de termination. .struggling for suprem acy in a circumscribed arc where it is impossible for either side to employ more men or artillery. Gaps in the ranks are instantly tilled and thus the contending forces remain so balanced that victory apparently is impossible to either side. The fierceness of the struggle is indicated by the fact that in twelve hours the Italians attacked the enemy five times. French Push Ahead General Petain's troops last night clinched the success they won north east of Verdun on Saturday, when they pushed their lines ahead ma terially in the Fosse and Cuarieres wood sector. The Germans were obliged to abandon their furious as saulting tactics of the day, probably because of the heavy losses they sus'- tained in attacks which left the French lines unshaken. Paris characterizes the repulse sus tained by the crown prince here as an "important" one and dwells upon the extremely serious extent of the casualties inflicted by the French fire. English Are Busy There were only raiding operations on the remainder of the French army's front anu there was a simi lar lack ot activity of a major sort along the British lines. General Haig's troops, however, put in a busy nlglit iti consolidating the positions taken by them yesterday northwest of St. Quentin in the neighborhood of Hargicourt, London announces. Berlin, however, declares that this ground was retaken by the Germans early to-day. The Macedonian lighting is again assuming importance. On the ex treme west of the front the French have apparently massed a consid erable force. Yesterday they re ported occupying several villages in the Mallik region and the German war office to-day admits that Teu tonic forces there were obliged to retreat before superior French pres sure. The German advance in the Riga region is definitely halted, according to indications in the current reports. The only events reported there to day by Berlin are clashes between Russian raiding parties and German reserves.

HARRISBURG, PA.,MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1917 SWEDEN TO GET CHANCE TO KEEP OUT OF THE WAR Recall of Minister to Buenos Aires May Prevent Break Argentina Closes Eyes to Sweden's Treachery Buenos Aires, Sept. 10.—Argen tine officials, according to news paper accounts, to-day are still unable to believe that the dis patches sent to Berlin through the Swedish legation here were accurately translated. A rupture in diplomatic rela tions with Germany is not anti cipated at present. The Argen tine government preferring, it is said, to consider the affair a per sonal one between the German and Swedish representatives. Washington, Sept. 10.—While rela tions between this country and Swed en arc tense as a result of the sensa tional disclosures made by the State Department, there is an undercurrent of opinion in the capital that the un statesmanlike action of the Swedish minister in Buenos Aires will be dis avowed by his own government and that he will be recalled and repri manded, if this be done promptly, there Is little likelihood at present that Sweden will be plunged into the war. The obvious result in that case will [Continued on Pago 9.] Eat Cornmeal to Save Money and Wheat, Is Latest Hoover Advice By Associated Press Washington, Sept. to.— Cornmeal even at 'the present high prices is cheapest of nutritious foods accord ing to Herbert Hoove"r, who in a statement, urges more general use of meal for baking bread.

WEDS SO HE CAN ANOTHER TRY That the old adage "Where there's, a will, there's a way," holds good to-| day was proved by the actions of a I ypung "farmer" from Northampton J county who had been passed by his! local board of exemption.

An immense crowd had gath ered in the street in front of the restaurant, and only the prompt and effective measures adopted by the officers of the law prevented serious trouble. Two Guardsmen, stationed here, entered the restaurant in civilian clothes and ordered food, for which they refused to pay, according to on lookers. The young men are Wayne Jeffries, of Harrisburg, and George G. Wren, of Steelton. Both are con nected with the Sanitary Unit. The trouble that resulted drew a crowd, and it was while there was considerable talking among soldiers on the sidewalk that a Greek em ploye of the restaurant came to the door and made a statement regard ing slackers. Hundreds of soldiers had gathered, officer Davis, of the Slate Police, ordered the Guardsmen to appear before court this afternoon or forfeit $25 each.
