HONORS FOR MEN LEAVING FOR CAMP MEADE IALF OF DRAFT READY TO TARE UP ITS WORK National Army Greatest Force Nation Has Ever Moved at One Time Washington, Sept. 19.—Three hun lred thousand men of the national irmy to-day are on their way to.slx een cantonments to undergo an in ensive training period preparatory or service over seas. To-day's in rement represents approximately 45 ier cent, of the total quota under the irst call from nearly 5,000 exemp ion boards. The transition from civilian to ailltary life was effected with a nlnimum of delay. In every section f the country the men, called by the ndlvidual boards, were assembled, riaced under military discipline fielded by one of their number se eded as leader and assigned to pecial troop trains now en route to he mobilization camps. The new ncrement will join the first quota of 5,000 men called to the colors Sep ember 5, Because of obstacles encountered y the War Department in procur ig supplies it is probable that some f the men will be only partially quipped on arrival. No attempt to ompietely outfit the units for war ervice will be made until Just prior o the departure for France. Well Under Way Never in the history of the nation las such a force been moved in Simi ir time. Every transportation 'reparation has been made against ne of the heaviest labors the rall oads have been called on to face. Wtih the arrival of these men at he camps the mobilization of the rafted forces will be well under ray. Five per cent, of the total orce is already in file camps, with he exception of Camp Meade, twenty niles from Baltimore, where mo ilization will begin to-morrow, De iys in building forced a postpone ment. The men will find the camps ready or them. Work on all of the great rooden cantonments is almost com lete except at Meade and Upton, the lew York camp. Both these are eady to accommodate the men who .-ill turn out in the movement begin iner to-day. The men about to go to camp will nd sleeping, sanitary, kitchen and ospital accommodations. Especial ttention has been devoted to equip lng each camp with modern hos itals in view of the fact that thou ands of men. abandoning steam eated apartments and houses for he rigors of camp life, will be ex osed to illness and disease.

The picture was taken at Liyikens yesterday just before n gigantic farewell parade. ages which develop as the canton ments are opened will be temporary. "Because of conditions it is pos sibly thut some of the men in the training camps may be but partially equipped for a time. It will be nec essary to utilize in part civilian cloth ing while supplies are being deliv ered. "The food situation at each can j tonment and abroad is reported as j gratifying and the quartermaster de > partment has experienced fewer dif j Acuities in the supply of food than in j equipment." ' I General Crowder to-day delivered a final ruling on exemption appeals. Interpreting the President's regula tions for the draft, he said: 1. No appeals for exemption be ' cause of dependants or any other than industrial or agricultural claims may be appealed to the White House, i C. To prevent Injustice to men with I dependants whose claims have been rejected by local -and district boards an appeal for the reopening of th 1 case may be made to the Governor of the state. 3. No evidence or affidavits sup porting appeals for exemption on the j grounds of employment In vital in i diistry or agriculture that have not been presented to the district boards may be presented to the President. Men Heady for Mobilization Reports received by General Crow der say all local boards are ready | with their fo per cent, quotas or i dered out to-day and that there will |be no hitch. The next quota of 4 0 i per cent, will mobilize October 5. Only white troops will be mo ; bilized. except in states where can- I tonments are located. These negroes also will be mustered in. In the [ other states the negroes will not be called out at this time, as the War Department has not yet disposed of ! the problem of their training. Two exceptions to the 40 per cent, rules will be observed. At Camp i Upton, Yaphank,. Long Island, only 35 per cent, will' mobilize, while at jCatnp Meade, Admiral, Md., 45 per cent., divided between Eastern Penn sylvania, the District of Columbia ( and Maryland, will mobilize. This | includes the 5 per cent, whose mo- I bilizatlon on September 5 was de j layed. I With the mobilization of one-half ! of the 657.000 men of the first call ; under the selective service law in | progress, the question arises as to whether that number of men will Ibe sufficient to fill all units of the ! national guard and national army. There are indications that a de ficiency in men will be disclosed when official reports from all the train- I ing camps are available, j Seventeen divisions of the national ,*uard have been organized, but with the exception of the New York, Penn sylvania and a few others and the Forty-second Division, which soon | will embark for France,, thev are not at maximum war strength. The fighting strength of |he seventeen divisions under the new tables of organization would be 623,000 men .supplemented by many thousands of auxiliary troops.

I The selected men will arrive in ! this city at an early hour in the j morning.

One hundred and sixty men have j PI listed here in the Signal Reserve 1 Corps As they come from every part of this State, it is understood that transportation will be furnished ! them from their home address, and ' it is possible that a number of the j boys will not be in llarrisburg for the demonstration.

The men who will I help swell the ranks of the new Na tional Army marched together with ' fraternal, military and religious or ganizatlons of Hershey, headed by ! the Patriotic Sons of America and the Boy Scout Band. ! The Hershey branch of the Red Cross presented each soldier with a I comfort kit. Testaments were given !by scholars of the Sunday schools. , ! One of the most patriotic demon-1 • strations ever seen at Dauphin was ] held last evening when Dauphin turned out to honor and to say fare well to the local boys who have been called to the training camps. Chief Burgess John L. Porter had charge of the arrangements, with William Strickler as chief marshal. Citizens from tho youngest to the oldeet were in line. Music was fur nished by the Dauphin I. O. O. F. band, while the P. O. 8. of A., the I. O. O. F., the schol children, the liro company, the Red Cross Aux iliary, delegations from tho churches and many private but patriotic citi zens paraded. The boys left Dauphin this morn ing for Harrisburg, where they will remain to-night and take part in the Harrisburg celebartion to-morrow. They leave Harrisburg at 11 o'clock, with the rest of the Three Hundred and Sixteenth infantry made up of selected men from Dauphin county for Camp Meade .Maryland.

Denison, Jr., Harry T. Wynn and Lewis Knapp. Much interest has been shown in the fact that "Ducky" Rhoads and "Buck" Gilday, the famous catcher and pitcher of the Dauphin baseball team, have been called together and their many friends predict a speedy victory if Rhoads and Gilday show as much "pep" in the trenches as they did on the diamond. After the parade a patriotic meet ing was held in the Square. Ad dresses were made by the Rev. James M. Shoop and the Rev. W. H. Zweizig. UPPER END BOYS DARE NOT LEAVE STATION [Continued from First Pag*\] this city for a little over thirty min utes. During that time they were served a lunch from the Pennsylva nia Railroad restaurant at the local station. Fourteen large cans of hot coffee and individual box lunches were ready for them when they ar rived, and were received with cheers. Eighty-one young men from dis trict 3 of Dauphin county were among the number. Their journey from ElizabethviUe, which started at 7.29 this morning, was one of good cheer all the way. Crowds lined the various stations en route and the boys received cheer after chfeer. At Millersburg the boys waited two hours before entraining on the special train and were treated to a demonstration in their honor. They were given the freedom of the town, rides in automobiles, taken to mov ing pictures and were the honored guests at short exercises at which there were principal speakers and music. The special left Harrisburg directly for Camp Mende, wheve they were scheduled to arrive at 3 p. m., the finish if the first leg of their trip to Frp.nce. Wh#n the train pulled out half a dozen o fthe boys who had scattered were left behind. They will go down in later trains. Claude T. Keno. of Allentown, was the principal speaker of the even ing, and his address was confined to the general discussion of "True Americanism" and what the young men who left this morning are go ing to fight for. Mr. Reno stirred audience, and in substance said 1 his is not r war of Indemnity, nor for the profit of neutrals, nor for freedom of the seas, although this is a vital reason, nor for revenge. We are fighting for the sacred. Inherent, unalienable rights of mankind, the right to live, the right to pursue hap piness and to make democracy safe for the world. The 'task of these young men is no light task. They must fight hard and win they must." n ®top Beldlcman Speaks Senator E. E. Bet die man was an °v. s P ea ' {er - He spoke only for a short-time, and in his remarks he spoke of American citizenship and sa 'd that we are fighting for liberty for the people of the vrorld" and also expressed an earnest hope for peace soon. The Senator was warmly greeted by the residents of upper Dauphin county and many of his spirited remarks were heartily applauded by his hearers. Jumps the Kaiser The Rev. J. J. Hunt, of Wiconisco, injected a little extra singer into the celebration when in scathing words he severely catechised the Kaiser and said that if there was anyone I in the audience who did not like I what he said that they "could push their teeth back into their mouth, and go home. He meant every word he said, and he only regretted that ne was unable to speak longer." At the closing of the exercises Robert Minnich spoke for the Red Cross and presented to the sixty young men kits that they will carry with them to Camp Meade. ' Following the exercises a lunch eon was served by the Red Cross women to the members of the various bands and friends. Dancing was held in the big dance pavillion in the grove and was largely attended. Platform Collapses Much credit for the success of the celebration can be jußtly given to H. E. Bufflngton and A. P. Minnich. A little over forty-eight hours was spent in making arrangements that were carried out with only one mis hap. This occurred at the conclu sion of the exercises when the plat form on which the exercises were held collapsed under the' weight of a large number of people, including the principal speakers and honored guests. No one was injured, how ever. and the incident passed almost unnoticed. The members of the general com mittee and heads of the other committees and the members of the G. A. R. who were in the parade are as follows: G. A. R.—J. C. Davis, M. M. HofT man, Henry Kaiser, Tyrus Snyder, Abraham Dreibelblis, John L. Miller Joseph Miller, A. F. Thompson!

Sansom. 10,000 in Demonstration Over ten thousand citizens of Up per Dauphin county gathered at Ly kens last evening as a farewell dem onstration to the sixty young men that will represent District 3 of Dau phin county in the new national draft army. For two hours the principal streets of fiat town were lined with humanity that cheered the "rook ies" as they rode along the line of parade hold In their honor. For one hour thousands stood and sat in , Borough Grove, whore they listened •, tp patriotic speeches and sans pa triotic soncs, finally closing the ex ercises after presenting farewell gifts to the young men by singing , en masse the "Star Spangled Ran- ] ner." Epoch Making Event Never in the history of Lykens hns such a demonstration been held. | Never before In the annals of that i township have the people showed ! such feeling of Joy and sorrow. Bravely and cheerfully, with tear- i stained cheeks, the mothers of the i young men that left this morning for Camp Meade stood by and watched .their favorite boy receive the god speed of the entire community. It I was an inspiring sight and an epoch- ' making event. Mothers In Parmle Patriotism was the keynote of the entire celebration. From the gray- ' haired old veteran who wore the . war-honored uniform of the G. A. K., to the little school boy marching in the parade bravely trying to keep in step with his elder brother, and struggling under the burdeiT of the'. U. S. flag, the spirit of "doing their j, bit" for their country ran. Even!, mothers were In the parade. Elder ly women, members of the Red Cross Auxiliary of the Third district of Dauphin county, scorned the of fers of automobiles to ride in and bravely withstood the hardships of the two-mile march from Lykens to Wiconlsco and return. This was the spirit that prevailed through the en tire thousands of people, and the sixty young men who left the com >rts of their home this morning to take up the hardships and trial of military life first at Camp Meade and then "somewhere in France," will carry ringing in their ears the well wishes of their friends. The celebration was scheduled to start at 8 o'clock. Long before that honor of the sons of upper Dauphin. In upper Dauphin county began to arrive and at 7 o'clock the streets of Lykens were crowded with ma chines. Promptly at 7.30 the parade formed, and shortly after 8 H. E. Bufflngton, chairman of the general committee, gave the signal that started more than 800 in parade in honor of the songs of upper Dauphin. The line of para3 was as follows: Chief marshal, C. N.

Rod Cross in Line One of the features of the was the Red Cross Auxiliary of the Third district of Dauphin county.. FEW coal dealers throughout the country have had at any time this year a sufficient supply of coal on hand to fill their cus tomers' bins. Every absolute need for coal must be supplied. Nearly as many tons of coal must be delivered this year to the consumer as in former years, but necessarily must now be delivered to the indi vidual coal bin more frequently and rapidly-than ever before. Coal must be constantly and equitably distributed as fast as it is being consumed. It is too late in the season for a railroad carload of coal to be apportioned to any one consumer—it must be divided and delivered to many. Coal dealers and consumers must cooperate in making and accepting deliveries of coal more frequently and in smaller quantities. Our two-ton power dump coal motor truck will solve the coal-distributing problem this fall and winter more efficiently and effectively than any other distribution device that we know of.
