LONDON AIR
ATTACKS TO
BE AVENGED
Premier Lloyd George Promises to Pay Kaiser With
Compound Interest For Outrages on London and Eng
lish Coast Cities; French Airmen Bombard Baden to
Give Germans a Taste of Their Own Medicine
By Associated Press
"We shall bomb Germany with compound interest," Premier
Lloyd George is quoted in the London press as declaring to a
London crowd in promising it that Great Britain would soon
launch reprisals for the many German air raids on England.
The French reprisals already underway were continued last
night. French airmen dropped bombs, on the town of Baden,
some 55 miles beyond the French frontier. More than seven
tons of bombs also were dropped on various military objectives
in German-held territory.
Busy in Air
Paris. Oct. 3.— Continuing their j
reprisals for attacks of German air
men on French cities, French avi
ators last night dropped bombs on
the German town of Baden, the war
office announced.
In the course of these various ex
plosions, projectiles to the amount of
7,000 kilograms (15,400 pounds)
■were dropped. .
The town of Baden in the Grand
Duchy of the same name, is one of
the most famous and beautiful wa
tering places of Europe, best known
for its medicinal baths. It Is a town
of some 15,000, about flfty-nve miles
from the French border.

Will Petition Court
For Special Hearings of
Hardscrabble Appeals
It is expected that City Solicitor
John E. Fox will petition the court
some time this week to set a datf for
special hearings of all the Hard
scrabble property appeal cases. Sev
eral weeks ago issues were awarded
bv the court in each case in which a
property owner in the Hardscrabble
district appealed from the award of
viewers. .
Many important points will be set
tled during the trial of these cases
it is anticipated. In opinions the
court has upheld the various moves
of the city to acquire the North Front
street jtroperties, but the questions of
settlement with some of the owners
who appealed from the viewers
awards has delayed taking o\er the
ground. Thero Is much interest in
the final settlement of the cases and
the trial of the appeals will be one
of the last steps in getting possession
of the properties.

720,000 TROOPS
MOVED BY U. S.
SINCE WAR BEGAN
Movement of Two Hundred
Thousand More Men
Starts Today
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 3.—About 200,-
000 men, representing the third in
crement to the National Army, to
day are on their way to sixteen can
tonments where already half the
K87.000 called to the colors by the
President, are mobilized. Although
to-day's quota should be 40 per cent,
under regulations promulgated by-
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
local conditions in the various states
have reduced the general average of
the increment to 20 or 25 per cent.
Coincident with the start of the
third division of the new National
Army for the training cantps to
day, the railroads war board issued
a statement in connection with the
part which the railroads have play
ed in handling the biggest troop
movement ever attempted in this
country.
"Including the National Guard,
the Regular Army and the new Na
tional Army, the railroads to date
have moved approximately 720,000
soldiers from their homes to train
ing camps or embarkation points,"
says the statement.
"The great bulk of this Army—
all of it in fact, except the 32,549
men included in the first five per
cent, of the National Army that
moved by regular train on September
5. required special train service, in
volving the use of 13,500 passenger
cars, including 1,500 Pullman and
tourist sleepers, 2,000 baggage cars
and 4,500 freight cars.
"Some slight conception of what
this problem .means, may be deduced
from the fact that in the National
Army movement alone the railroads
have had to prepare special sched
ules covering the 4,531 towns and
cities designated by the provost mar
shal general as the points of local
concentration from which the re
cruits to the new National Army
proceed to their cantonment.
"Practically all of the National
Guard movements to date have been
of great length. The longest one was
that made by a battalion of San
Francisco Engineers from San Fran
cisco, Cal., to a point on the Atlantic
coast. This battalion Included 506
men and 18 officers. They occupied
a special train comprising one stan
dard sleeper, nine tourist sleepers,
one baggage car, two kitchen tears
and three box cars. Their train left
San Francisco at 4 p. m. on Sep
tember 1. and arrived at its destina
tion at 10.15 a. m., September 8."

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM
Means Enlistment of Thou
sands of Little Boosters
in Campaign
Superintendent F. E. Downes of
the Harrisburg schools, this morning
arranged to take up with all princi
pals and the 342 city schoolteachers
the matter of educating the thou
sands of pupils in Harrisburg schools
to the importance of the Libertv
Loan.
A series of little talks which will
appear In the Harrisburg evening
papers will be the basis for the daily
lessons in the city schools. These
talks will start next Monday. Les
sons in the schools above the fourth
grade will begin Wednesday, Octo
ber 10.
"This is a system by which to
teach practical patriotism," said Su
perintendent Downes this morning.
"In connection with the teaching of
practical patriotism it is the plan to
have the schools use thair influence
in continuing th% efforts to float the
second Liberty Loan. We will teach,
by the coming lessons, not only pa
triotism, but practical thrift."
Means Agents by Thousands
The teaching of Liberty Loan gos
pel in the city schools will mean the
enlisting of thousands of loan "boost
ers" in Harrisburg. Practically every
child above the fourth grade will
have something to carry to the folks
at home; and as the children "boil
down" the Liberty Loan story it will
reach the wage-earners in a concrete
form, stripped of all useless verbiage.
Signs Going Vp
Arrangements have been made for
electric signs on Market street and
Market Square. The government has
donated the use of the poster board
of Federal' building property. A
huge banner will float across Market
street, bearing this legend:
THE KAISER IS WATCHING YOU!
BUY A BOND!
Thousands of "stickers" and post
ers will be received at loan head
quarters, Dauphin Building, this
week. After Saturday owners of au
tomobiles who wish small posters
for their windshields may get them
at headquarters. The publicity com
mittee will leave nothing undone to
show Harrisburg that a campaign Is
on.

Traitors in U. S. Stab
American Soldiers in the
Back, Says Sec. McAdoo
Chicago, Oct. 3.—Secretary of the
Treasury William O. McAdoo to-day
went to Madison, Wis., to continue
his campaign in behalf of the Lib
erty Loan. In an address before a
large audience here last night he
urged the purchase of the Liberty
Bonds because they are the "safest
investment in the world."
Mr. McAdoo digressed briefly from
his talk on the Liberty Loan to
speak of peace propagandists.
"There isn't a soldier in France,"
he said, "whose life is not more than
ever imperiled by this idiotic peace
talk. Let us not give aid and com
fort to the enemy by letting him
think we don't mean to fight. We do
mean to fight and the quicker they
realize it the better. There isn't a
man in khak'i who isn't willing to
face German bullets, and is it not
cowardly to attempt to stab him in
the back with peace talk by
traitors?"

Here Afterward; Discuss

At a late hour this afternoon
delegates to the lOa.st Pennsyl

discussing the merger of the
General (Synod, General Council

The discussion started at 10.3 ft

problem as to which proposition

The greatest sermon of the seven

afternoon when more than two hun

And what a sermon! Five hundred

as many cheery, cultivated voices
pouring out in the pleasant old chap

sacred memories, hymns of praise
