Secretary Landis Writes That
Two Buildings Are Prac

"Building operations are progress

Camp Hancock. Secretary George B.
Landis writes. "The administration
building is in use. The artillery bri
gade building is almost finished. Two
others are started, for two the foun
dations are laid, meanwhile we are
using three 40x60 tents and one mess
shack. Thousands of lttters and
postcards are being written so that
the mall is congested. The Pennsyl

every section of the state and are
greatly appreciated. Of course they
are always two days late. We have
about one hundred and fifty books
for each tent and these are in con
stant circulation. Pennsylvania State
Library sent us some books and some
have come from associations and
Women's Clubs. Magazines have also
been sent by these last two. We
could use more current magazines,
more disc records and books.
"We have begun to show moving
pictures and will present them out
doors as far as possible. Lectures
have been given In different build

noted preachers of the South, has
been very acceptable on 'The \\ ar

EXPERT TEAM
TO PUSH CANVASS
Mchodist Ministers Take Ac
tion On Dickinson
Funds.
At the meeting of the Methodist
Ministerial Association of Harris
burg and vicinity this morning at the
Y. M. C. A. Building the following
preamble and resolutions on pro
posed canvass for Dickinson College
and Dickinson Seminary were pre
sented by Dr. S. C. Swallow and sec
onded by two others and after a
lengthy discussion were lost by a
vote of five for and eight against.
Three of those present not voting.
Hence it is understood that the can
vass by a team of experts from the
West will proceed. Every pastor
must send a list of the names of his
members to Dr. Morgan, president
of Dickinson College, that an assign
ment of them may be made by the
western team of solicitors who. It Is
understood, will make an exhaustive
canvass for nearly two months be
ginning with October 14 and ending
December 6.
These were the resolutions:
"Whereas, The Central Pennsyl
vania conference at its session March
last took action favorable to raising
within our conference bounds $450,-
000 for the promotion of higher edu
cation, more particularly as repre
sented by Dickinson College and
Dickinson Seminary; and
"Whereas, World conditions se
riously altering and affecting na
tional, state, municipal, conference,
local church, family and Individual
conditions have occurred in these six
months since conference adjourned;
and
"Whereas, Distress appeals are al
most constantly coming to our com
munities, churches ana tne members
thereof, the larger number of whom
are In moderate financial circum
stances, and thousands of them
pressed for the ordinary necessaries
of life in this period of the hitherto
unknown high price of living; and
"Whereas. Hundreds or husbands
and sons have gone as soldiers in de
fense of our country's very exist
ence as a nation, leaving many of
their families to depend in part at
least on the earnings of others; and
"Whereas. There are frequent and
pre *ing appeals to the members of
our local churches throughout the
conference to contribute to the full
extent of their ability to the annuity
fund of $400,000 just fairly started
to be raised and on which the fifty
worn-out preachers and seventy
preachers' widows of our conference
depend largely for a very inadequate
support, some of them actually suf
fering for the necessaries of life; and
"Whereas, Crying appeals are al
most daily reaching us from our high
church officials for collections to bear
the expenses of our Methodist mis
sions to our thousands of Methodist
soldier boys now at the front or drill
ing in the numerous cantonments In
this and other countries; and
"Whereas, the Red Cross, the
Young Men's Christian. Association,
the Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation and various rescue mission
interests, all intent on furnishing not
life's luxuries, but warding off the
innumerable menaces to life itself,
now abroad in the world as never
before In all Its history; and
"Whereas. The societies formed
for raising millions of money to fur
nish food for what remains of the
starving millions of Belgium. Ru
mania and especially of Armenia are
by their appeals wringing tears from
our very hearts; therefore
"Resolved, That the Methodist
Preachers' Association of Harrisburg
and vicinity herewith earnestly pe
tition the Rev. Dr. Morgan and his
trustees of Dickinson College, the
Rev. Dr. Connor and his trustees of
Dickinson Seminary; our beloved
Bishop McDowell of this area, and
the five presiding elders of the Cen
tral Pennsylvania conference, to
unite in calling off the threatened
college and seminary two months'
crusade against the families and in
dividual members of our local
churches, and we ask It most hum
bly in the Interest of suffering hu
manity.
"Resolved, Second, that we pledge
ourselves as individuals in case this
indefinite postponement Id effective,
to co-operate with the brethren here
in memorialized in a future endeavor
to raise moneys for these institutions
at a time we trust when the effort
will really help them instead of in
juring them as we believe the sched
uled present effort by strong armed
experts from a distance will cer
tainly do if persisted in.
"Resolved, Third, that copies of
our action be sent by our secretary
to the Methodist Preai-hers' Asso
ciations of Altona. Williamsport,
Huntingdon and Sunbury with a re
quest that they co-operate with us in
this respectful, kind, but most earn
est request for a postponement of
the within described crusade."

MANY CLAIMS.
FOR EXEMPTION
TURNED DOWN
Appeal Board Allows but Few
of Many Requests; Local
Examinations Finished
At the session of the district ap
peal board this morning in the House
caucus rooms at the Capitol the ex
emption claims from Huntingdon
and Mifflin counties were acted on
and the majority were turned down.
Several were allowed, but the per
centage was very small.
A large number of claims were on
the grounds of agriculture, but there
were many claims on industrial
grounds. The board was in session
during the entire day and will also
meet to-morrow. It is the intention
of the board to act on as largo a
number of claims as possible in order
to clear up the situation. Many of
the local boards have ceased examin
ing and are waiting for reports from
the appeal board in order to tind out
how many men are available. At the
present time nearly all the local
boards of the thirteen counties in
cluded in this district are below their
required quota. However, they have
certilied a large number of men to
the upper board, but these men have
tiled claims, which held up the list
ing of the men. There are many
appeal cases to be acted on by the
district board this session. The local
boards refused many claims and
these have appealed to the upper
board. It is probable that the ma
jority of these claims will be turned
down, as they were investigated by
the local boards? before acted on.
The local boards of Dauphin
county have been busily engaged for
the past week in preparing the list of
the men who will leave Saturday for
Camp Meade, sending them notices,
providing them with information and
means of transportation.
Appeals to President
The Paxtang board yesterday con
cluded the examination of 1,167 men
and will not call any more until re
ports are received from the district
appeal board. To-day the hoard cer
tified thirty-one names to the district
board as men ready for service. The
first appeal to President Wilson from
this board was received this morn
ing from a young man of Dauphin
county, who claims that he is more
valuable to his country on the farm
than at the training camp. He was
furnished with order No. 5 and im
mediately forwarded it to the Wash
ington office. This board has been
certifying men for the Army at the
rate of one out of five.
Colored Men Ready
The Steelton board is preparing
to examine the hundred men called
to report Thursday. This will bring
the total up to 1,100. Notices have
been sent by this board to the Gov
ernor of the men who have enlisted
in the Army and Navy and who have
notified the board to that effect. So
far nothing has been heard regarding
the status of the colored men of this
district who are being held in readi
ness for service. This board has been
certifying men for the Army at the
rate of one out of four and with the
extra hundred called for this week it
is expected that the entire quota of
255 men will be obtained.
The Elizabethville board will not
examine any more men until reports
are received from the district board.
The quota of this district is 133 and
is nearly completed.

Many English Words
Come From Arabia
Through the crusades of Europe
came into contact with Arabia, and
gained immense profit from the in
tercourse which followed, with a
j people more highly civilized than its
own inhabitants. It must not bo for
gotten that the Arabians in Asia and
the Moors in Spain kept the sacred
toroh of learning alight while Eu
rope still groped in the darkness of
a semi-barbarism.
To t.ic Arabs we are indebteded
for the preservation of Aristotle, and
for much of our knowledge of Gre
cian astronomy and medicine, which
reached Europe through translations
from Arabic into Latin. Many of
our current English words came di
rect from the Arabic, such as zero,
almar.ac, alsebra, cipher, nodlr, ze
nith, alkali, camphor, alcohol, and
amber.
These words, with their pronuncia
tion and definition, are all to be
found in The New Universities Dic
