TO RAISE $6,000
FOR LIBRARIES IN
SOLDIER CAMPS
City Starts Its Share of Mil
lion Dollar Fund to be
Used For Troops
The drive for SIOO,OOO to bo raised
throughout th# United States with
which to buy books for tho soldiers
and sailors started to-day. The Idea
originated with President Wilson and
has received tho co-operation of the
library officials and State ofticlalß
throughout the country. To do her
share Harrisburg must ralso $6,000
for this fund, which In known as the
Library War Service Fund.
Miss Alice Eaton, librarian of the
Harrisburg Public Library, suggests
that in order that the quota net for
Harrisburg will be sure of being
reached, that all citizens of Harris
burg who can afford to do so, sub
scribe a dollar for themselves and
as many dollars more as they have
neighbors who cannot afford to sub
scribe. The very first real money re-
this morning was from a man
who sent in a dollar each for him
self, his wife, and one for each of
his three children. He Is too modest
to give his name.
Miss Eaton has charge of the
campaign for the central part of
Pennsylvania and In each county of
her territory has appointed chair
men who in turn have appointed
subchairmen in the boroughs of their
counties to conduct the campaign.
The slogan for the campaign Is "A
Dollar For a Book For a Soldier."
One dollar will buy a good book
which will be placed within reach of
soldiers and sailors in the
ments and training camps in Amer
ica as well as on the transport ships
and In France.
The clubs of Harrisburg have
pledged their support and the rep
resentatives of the various clubs who
are co-operating are: David E.
Tracy, Chamber of Commerce; A. E.
Buchanan, Rotary Club; Robert M.
Reeves, Y. M. C. A.; Frank H. Gre
gory, P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.; Leo C.
Gainor, Kniglits of Columbus; Mrs.
Lyman D. Gilbert, Red Cross; Mrs.
William Hendersor,, Civic Club; Miss
Cora Lee Snyder, Regent D. A. R.;
Mrs. James Bafr Mersereau, Daugh
ters of 1812; Mrs. Harry B. Keffer,
Story League; Mrs. John W. Reily,
Y. W. C. A.; Miss Matilda Hiester,
Sunshine Society; Miss Anne U.
Wert, Teachers' Association; Mrs.
Maurice E. Finney, Authors Club;
Mrs. James M. Fair, Study Club,
and Mrs. Louis S. Drumheller, of
the Walking Club. The drive will
continue for a week and at tho end
of that time it is hoped that the
fund will be oversubscribed.

firm of which he is n member un- ;
dertook the task of upbuilding the |

Railway system.
Kuhn, Loeb & Company bring!
out the enormous stock Issues of j
the Pensylvania Railroad, thus!
funding Harrisburg'e greatest In- !
dustry.
Condemns Germany
Mr. Kuhn. is fearless in his plti- !
less condemnation of junkerism and |
military-controlled Germany, and !
is scathing in his denunciation of !
inhumanities practiced by Germany ,
sinc.e the beginning of the war.
While here, the financier will dis- !
cuss the war tax on business and
incomes, the new Liberty Loan, and'
similar topics. Mr. Kuhn will ar- j

merce.
