Guests of Miss Landis Sew For Soldiers This Afternoon I^TUM INSTEAD OF COFFEE - SINGS IN CHINA . FOR RED CROSS Harrisburg Girl Pleases Audi ence and Helps Largely in Fine Program ------ M ■ MRS. nOItDON' POTEAT Mrs. Helen Carruthers Poteat, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Car ruthers, 1350 State street, who is lo cated with her husband at Kaifeng, China, had the distinction of taking part in $ benefit concert for the American Red Cross in Che Foo, at the American consulate. In August. The program bore the American flag in colors. President Wilson's plea for the Red Cross, and the words of the "Star Spangled Banner," be side the order of exercises. Mrs. Poteat, who has a sweet soprano voice, sang "The Gypsy Trail," Gal loway; "Mighty Lak a Rose," Nevin; "Bandana Ballad," Homer, and "The Nightingale," Whilpley, as well as a duet with Kdward L. Hall, of Han kow. Chinese juggling followed and then the audience united in singing the "Star Spangled Banner." - In a letter from Donald Carruthers telling of the concert, he says: "There is some war excitement out here, too. Our benefit concert for the Red Cross netted $1,500. We had quite an exciting time for sev eral days discussing whether liquor should be sold, as it is the usual thing at the fetes here. The major ity of the Americans were against it, but the consul and others seemed to think the event would not be a success without it. We insisted if we sang none of the proceeds of the sale of whisky should go to the Red Cross and we made our point. There was no public sale of liquors on the ground where the concert was held. At the British fete they had drinks and one of the Englishmen congratulated us that we had nerve enough to overthrow the precedent, for he said the British were too con servative to do it themselves. "The country now is very unset tledi.lt is almost as if there were 110 central government for the dif ferent factions are quarreling for the authority. People are about as secure in one part of the country as another nowadays. Foreigners are rarely molested in China for they seemed to have learned an unfor gettable lesson from the Boxer days. Have you noticed that Hoover got his start as an engineer in China? There are threo war ships in the harbor now, said to favor the re publicans of the south. They look most peaceful anchored in the bay." MISS WILSON IS HOME AFTER CHAUTAUQUA WORK Miss Helen Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harris B.
