SMOKES MUST BE SENT IF YOU WANT HIM TO FIGHT More Money Is Needed to Sup ply Soldiers With the One Luxury They Crave Pay Your Debt to Sammy! (National Arts Club Prize Poem.) YOU can't wield a sabre, TOU can't fire the guns, YOU can't raid the trenches. And bomb invading Huns! You CAN send tobacco You can cheer the chap Giving blood to keep you Safo upon the map! Sammy's wet and hungry; Say. it's not a joke— Standing in the trenches Longing for a smoke. He is stopping bullets Meant for you—and yet All he asks in payment Is a cigarette! Sammy guards your comforts— Help him in his fight! Give a hundred dollars. Give a "widow's mite." Furnish him the makin's!" What YOU give is small When you bear in mind that "Snnuny gives his all!" —Daniel M. Henderson. "If you want him to fight your wars give him tobacco. 1 * This is the suggestion in the opening stanza of Daniel H.

Another ♦ountry-wido and great appeal to the American people for a second SIOO,- 000.000 Hed Cross fuund is planned to be made following the flotation of the second Liberty Ixian. This second war relief fund for the Hed Cross, which the American peo ple will be asked to contribute, is de signed to carry forward on an en larged scale what is now being done, in the event that the comilict shall rage through next year. It appears, however, that the Red Cross has not realized the full sllß,- 000,000 which was counted upon. Some cities, especially New York, counted in as contributions the total of Red Cross dividends declared by many cor porations. There could be no more than a moral obligation upon the recpients of such dividends to pay them over to the Red Cross.

POINTS OUT HOW CITY CAN SAVE $1,175 State Fund Calls Attention of Council to Advantages of Insuring With It Stating the city can savo $1,175 by contracting with the State Work men's Insurance Fund for workmen's compensation liability in one year, Albert L. Allen, assistant manager, has sent a letter to Mayor J. William Bowman and the City Commissioners calling attention to the advisability of taking out a state policy. At the City Council meeting on Tuesday, Commissioner Lynch in troduced an ordinance on ilrst read ing awarding an insurance contract to a private company for a period of fifteen months, beginning October 1 this year, and extending until the close of 1918.* Last winter when the 1917 budget was made up provision was made to take out insurance for this year in the state fund. Later an ordinance giving the contract to a stock com pany was introduced but never passed finally. In the controversy which developed and because of the vacancies in Council it was decided the city would carry its own insur ance risk. Because of the effort now to give a private company the contract Mr. Allen in his letter explains the inter est taken in the move, and says: Should Consider Koonomy "As representatives of the Citv of Harrilburg, the Council should con sider the securing of compensation insurance where it can be obtained with the greatest economy, with the knowledge that prompt service will be given the claims of injured em ployes and that absolute security is provided. "From the standpoint of security, the average stock insurance com pany is approximately on a par with the state fund. "From the standpoint of claim service, it is self-evident that an in surance medium with its home office located in your city can undoubtedly give more prompt and efficient serv ice than a company whose home office is located outside the limits of this Commonwealth. "From the standpoint of economy, there is a vast difference In favor of the state fund which Is an item of extreme importance and should be seriously considered. "For example, if your insurance premium amounts to $5,000 per year at stock company rates, the state fund will furnish the same com plete protection at a ten per cent, lower rate, creating an initial savins of S3OO. In addition to that saving, the state fund pays dividends from profits and in the year 1916, on your class of business, paid to other cities insured a fifteen per cent, dividend. On thp basis of $5,000 premium, this dividend would amount to $(175 in addition to the SSOO. Assuming: that the same dividend will be continued, which is probable, this-amount of insurance would result in a gross saving, below stock company cost, of $1,175. Can such a saving be ignored by the City Council of Har risburg? This saving alone is suffici ent to pay the annual salary of pos sibly an additional policeman or other necessary city employe. Many Cities InMired "There is another phase to this question. The state fund is purely a Pennsylvania institution created by your Commonwealth and realizing a spirit of local pride, has invested all moneys in reserves to strictly Penn sylvania municipal, school district and improvement investments. The only exception to this rule has been an investment in the First United States Liberty- Loan. From our knowledge, stock companies incor porated in other states do not make their investments entirely in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as does the state fund. "Among the Pennsylvania mu nicipalities now insured in the State Workmen's Insurance Fund are Al lentown. Lancaster, Meadville, Franklin, Johnstown, etc. Among other governmental agencies now in sured in the state fund are the school districts of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Altoona. Johnstown and several hundred others. 'ln addition, poli cies are carried by many boroughs, townships and road supervisors." Ready Response to "Carry Your Own Bundle" Campaign of Red Cross Women of Harrisburg are co-oper ating with the grocer and merchant in an effort to lower the cost of living. Under the direction of Mrs. J. A. Plank, the loca.l Uc-d Cross Chapter has well under way a "Carry Your Bundle" campaign, which will help cut down overhead. Realizing that tlie average cost per parcel for de livery is six cents, and thta this con tributes largely to present high prices, the Red Cross Society is wag ing the campaign for women to carry home their own bundles. Large cards are being sold to the merchants, these cards elaborating the purposes of the campaign. Steelton Auxiliary will take the campaign into their stores, and Mrs. Qulncy Bent has charge of the move ment there. Columbia Women Plan Relief For Families Columbia.

Is Now Stronger For War, Says Mr. Taft Philadelphia, Oct. 4. "I would say that the conscription act and the splendid system inaugurated by the Government of granting commissions and advancing men and officers of the Army solely from a standpoint of merit will have the result of secur ing the very best of our young men for the supreme effort of the war. It will place the United States in a more advantageous position from the standpoint of actual strength than It has possessed in any previous period of war."

War Meeting in Chestnut Street Hall The reservations for the annual dinner and war meeting' of the Har risburg Chamber of Commerce are being received in greater number than was expected. The dinner committee expects to see Chestnut street hall crowded to the capacity on Monday evening when the meeting 1 opens. The war meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be an event of more than ordinary significance because it is the tlrst time that a Harrisburg business association lias ever enter tained a cabinet oflicer. and it gives this city an opportunity to formally assure Secretary of AVar Baker of the enthusiastic co-operation this com munity is giving the Government at this time. Secretary of War Baker's entry to this city will be without any frills or formal ceremonies. Ife will either motor up or come on the late after noon train if the weather is not suita ble for motoring. He doe 9 not en cumber himself with the impressive body guards that sabinet members sometimes attach to themselves, be cause. as stated in this week's issue of Collier's Weekly, Secretary Baker does not think the average citizen would take him for tfie Secretary of War. Secretary. Baker will return to Washington late Monday night in or der to be on the job the next morn ing. Coming From i-'nr Points The dinner committee is holding meetings dally in order to arrange all the details of the function. The ca tering will be done by Cameron, of the Kngineers Society and the Colo nial Club, and while the menu will be. simple in accordance with the spirit of the times, members or tne Chamber of Commerce nre assured a pleasant dinner as well as an inspir ing meeting. Officers of the Chamber of Com merce and members of the Harris bi.rg delegation who attended the war meeting of the national chamber in Atlantic City a couple of weeks ago report that Secretary of War Baker took the meeting by storm, and agreeably surprised every one there by his evident grasp of the situation and determination to perform his task successfully. The long distance record for parties making reservations was established to-day when E. J. Hockenbury wired from Milwaukee. Wis., aslUng for a place to be reserved for hiVn. Other members have reserved by wire and telephone from Washington, D.

RAILROAD CO-OPERATION BRINGS RESULTS Big Saving in Freight Cars on Pennsy During July; Records How the co-operation of the shipping public made possible a Hav ing of more than 80,000 freight ciu-s. in a single month, on the Pennsyl vania Railroad lines east of Pitts burgh and Erie, is strikingly shown by a report on freight ear loading, which has just been compiled for the month of July. 1017. As a result of the campaign to make freight cars do more work, and of the will ingness of shippers to aid in this direction, the average load carried per car in July of this year was 33.51 tons. In July. 191G, the average was 29.57 tons. The improvement this year was j 3.01 tons per car, or more than lSj per cent., which means that the; shipping public made 13 per cent. ! better use of the. freight car facil- J ities of the Pennsylvania Railroad. This effected -a saving of 81,268 cars in the number required to handle the traffic of the Pennsylvania Rail road lines east, during July of the past summer. Helps Railroad The saving achieved by this co operation on the part of shippers, not only enabled the Pennsylvania Railroad to handle a much larger amount of commercial business than would otherwise have been possible, with the facilities at hand, but also aided materially in rendering effi cient military transportation serv ice to the government. This applied especially to the carrying of ma terials for the construction of the various cantonments which were In process of building throughout the summer months. While definite figures are not as yet available for any period later than July, it is the belief of the management that when the results for August and September are as certained, it will be found that an even greater improvement In freight car loading has been achieved.

The great bulk of this Army—all of it, in fact, except the 32,549 men included in the Hist Ave per cent, of the National Army that moved by regular train on Sepvemoer 6—has required special train service, in volving the use of 13,500 passenger cars, including 1,500 l'ullman and tourist sleepers, 2,000 baggage cars land 4,500 freight cars. The troop' movem-.u: problem has been most dltilcult to handle, as it comprises not only the movement of the men selected for the National Army to the National Army canton ments, but the movement of hun dreds of thousands of troops in the National Guard and the Regular Army as well, either to training camps or embarkation points. I Some slight conception of what ithis problem means may be deduced I frofti 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 Marshal General as the points of local concentration from which the recruits to the new National Army proceed to their cantonments.
