J The Harrisburg eleven trimmed I Stevens Trade last Sfcturday. As it was the first game or the year, how ever, the score is not a sure sign of the strength of the Central crowd. Steelton Strong Contender Steelton promises to be a strong contender for local honors this year. With almost a veteran line-up and barring serious accidents, there is a chance for the lower end boys to clean up everything in sight. On the line Donatella and Wueschlnski are 'holding down the ving positions, i while Levitz and Behman, last year men, are in at the tackle posts. The i scrap at guard is interesting. Mc j Cauley. one of the older men. is out | because of scholastic standing which i will bar him for a month. Loy, who ; was a sub last year, is holding down j McCauley's position.

BETS WHITE SOX WILL WIN SERIES; OTHER WAGERS New York, Oct. 4.—Money to bet on the world's baseball champion ship is coming into the Wall street district in somewhat greater volume, although the amount at stake is thus far short of that put up in previous years.

TANKS MAY SOON ' APPEAR AT THE PRONT [Continued from First I'age.] I ; striking force in the war by taking j the best of what the British anil ] French have proved to be useful and effective, and basing all building program of the near luture thereon. In the matter of tanks, for in stance, officers who have made a ■ special study of the subject think j there is much to be said in favor of both the giant British tanks and the j smaller and faster French tanks, j They believe the American Army i should adopt both styles as an emer ! gency measure, building them imrne ! diately while American engineers are ! working out what may prove to be a j vast improvement over any tank now ; existing. There has been some dis j position on the part of certain critics | to belittle tanks because the Ger | mans have made little use of them, i The tank, however, is distinctively j an offensive weapon, while Germany on the western front is lighting a purely defensive canipaign. Both Great Britain and France | seem to be putting every possible fa cility at the disposition of the Amer icans, who are studying both styles of fighting tactics. The fact that these styles are changing constantly !is one of the fascinations of the great game of war. Airplanes also are engrossing the ! attention of the Army in France. The igreat weight of the Americans in i airplane construction is expected to [be felt eventually in this branch ; of the service.. Knights of Columbus Begin Work on New Building at Camp Meade Washington, Oct. 4. "Work of erecting the Knights of Columbus buildings at Camp Meade, Maryland has now begun and It is thought ; that within a week the main buiid j ing, will be completed and ready for occupancy. This building, like all of those which are being erected by the Knights of Columbus at the var ious camps and catonments, will be 1 of Spanish mission style, the main j floor dimensions being GO by 120 ft. I The smaller buildings will be 40 by I 100 feet. The large building will be 1 equipped with a sanctuary and al tar at one end, and except when re ligious services are being held this part of the building will be com pletely shut off from the main re creation rooni by means of sliding doors. W. R. Walsh of Washington, sec retary of the Knights of Columbus work at Camp Meade and his as sistant, J. A. Toomey of Philadel phia, are both on the ground and are giving their personal attention to the erection of the buildings and are looking after the social welfare of the soldiers as well as they can without having a building and other equipment at their disposal. The religious welfare of the Catholic soldiers is in charge of the Rev. Francis Kelly, of Albany, N. Y. tlrst lieutenant and chaplain of the Tenth New York National Guard and the Rev. Fathers Charles Dwyer of Pittsburgh, W. J. Munster, of Pitts l burg, and M. A. Stock, of Harris- I burg. These priests have all been con-missioned first lieutenants and chaplains of the National Army. Conscripted troops from Maryland, the District of Columbia, New York, and Pennsylvania are being mobol ! lzed at Camp Meade. Gen. Goethals to Build # Airplarfes For America New York, Oct. 4.—Major General George W. Goethals, who resigned some time ago as general manager of the United States Kmergency Fleet •Corporation, will devote himself to the manufacture of airplanes for use in the war. Announcement of his election as president of the Wright- Martin* Aircraft Corporation was made here to-day. Major General Goethals said his acceptance was actuated by a sense of duty, and was effective "for such time as I can be helpful or during the period of the war." - .

Oct. 4. —Miss Wil helmlna Meyer has been awarded SIOO,OOO damages by a Jury In her suit against Virglnlus St. Julien Mayo. The defendant, whose marital ad ventures first came to public notice through the suicide of Miss Lillian Cook v the stenographer employed in his New Haven factory, sat not fif teen feet away from Miss Meyer, and seldom shifted his gaze from her. Edward J. Mooney, the plaintiff's counsel, said that Mayo married his client in a ceremonial marriage in 1904, a Moravian clergyman officiat ing. He said a catastrophe In the defendant's life revealed that at the time of that ceremony Mayo was married to Florence Weeks. of Scranton. She divorced him. but he refused to remarry Miss Mever, Mr. Mooney said. State Society Will \ Not Have a Dinner Announcement was made at the State Capitol late yesterday that the Pennsylvania State Society would have no dinner this year because of the war. The society held its first luncheon yesterday and decided not to have the annual dinner in Phila delphia this month. The date set was October 29. Owing to the death of Henry Houck, Secretary of Internal Af fairs, a vacancy had existed in the office of first vice-president. John Price Jackson, Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry, was chosen to fill the vacancy. George A. Shreiner, Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, was elected second vice-president, and Spencer C. Gilbert, treasurer. Hard Stove at $8.15 Often More Satisfactory Than Hard Pea @ $7.25 BEFORE the war, Stove coal cofet from $1.75 to $2.00 per ton more than the Pea coal. Because of this difference of $2.00 many persons purchased the smaller size and in some instances it proved the cheaper fuel. Since the present difference in the first cost is but 90 cents, the final results will show that the coal with the slightly higher first cost will ulti mately prove the more economical. There are several reasons for this—first, the large size is not so quickly consumed; the fire lasts longer, taking less attention and requiring less coal. The amount of slate, bone and other impurities in large coal is much less than in smaller sizes. The percentage of slate, bone, etc., in Stove Coal is about 7 per cent., while the amount permitted in Pea size is from 18 per cent, to 20 per cent. Taking the amount of impurities for a basis, the Pea coal produces less heat per ton of coal than Stove, Eee or Nut coal. The first cost of the coal should not be the most important consideration—service and low fuel bills arc what is desired. UNITED ICE & COAL CO.

Destroyer Fleet Soon to Lead All the World Washington, Oct. 4.—Such remark able progress has been made in the quick building of the immense flo tilla of American destroyers to cope with the submarine campaign that the Navy Department now is assured of much quicker delivery of the ships than was contemplated at the last es timate, which in itself was far ahead of the original time. Progress on the ships now building and arrange ments for others to follow, it was said yesterday at the Navy Depart ment, are such that the American Navy will lead the world with its destroyers within eighteen months. It is now certain that all destroy ers now building will be delivered ready for duty in European waters ea,rly next year. Many of them had not been expected until the winter of 1918. Approximately ten months have been saved. 'CHIN CfflPT IS WELL RECEIVED Charles Dillingham's Musical Play Makes Big Hit; Ex cellent Cast Charles Dillingham's musical fan tasy, "Chin Chin," took Harrisburg by storm last night when it was pre sented at the Orpheum Theater. It is one of the best plays which has ap peared hero for sojno time and will long be remembered as such. James Doyle and Hariand Dixon, taking leading parts in an excellent cast, are the big factors in tho enter tainment. The spirit of the play cen ters on these two, who never miss an opportunity to do their part. For the music lover "Chin Chin" offers some of the llnest lyrics of re cent years. The songs and choruses, some of them which had been known to Harrisburg playgoers, are full of melodies and plenty of tuneful airs, so popular that repeated encores were given last night. The clown band, a saxaphone sextet, appearing in the second act, made a big hit. "Good-By Oirls, I'm Through," and "Temple Hells," were'two of the songs which were the most liked. For comedy, Doyle and Dixon in numerous parts, together with a num ber of songs and dances, brought al most continuous laughter from the audience, furnishing humorous turns In clever fashion. To describe the fantasy as it de serves is almost an impossibility. When one sees it the impression cre ated is a wish for more of the lilting music, tho Joyous comedy and the beautiful stage settings. Even these are contrasted so remarkably well that the attention is attracted to them. The story is one of an American girl and her father in search of Alad din's lamp. They visit a curiosity and toy shop, meet the ownenfand tell him of their <iuest. The remainder of the plot Is a lit tle romance interwoven between the many musical numbers in a most pleasing manner. Hoy Hoyer, as Alad din; Joseph lloblson, as Abanazar, owner of the toy bazar; Ed. Header and Grace Walsh, as tho Americans, and Doyle and Dixon, as slaves of the lamp, are among the leading ones in the cast. Jeanne Mai, as Goddess of the Lamp, deserves special praise for her excellent work; while Marie Cal lahan, as Fan-Tan, pleased with her splendid dancing. To suport them a last cast has been carefully selected and is well balanced. The large chorus is exceptionally line and well trained. Laugnable, musical and artistic in a supreme degree, "Chin Chin" cer tainly should be assured of a hearty welcome if it is returned again. MAX HOBEKTSON.
