YOU can't wield a sabre,

You CAN send tobacco
You can cheer the chap
Giving blood to keep you

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

Red Cross to Open Drive
For Another $100,000,000
Washington. Oct. 4. 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.

U. S. 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."
These were the significant words of
William H. Taft. former President of
the United States, spijKen yesterday
in Broad Street Station. In a reply to

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. C.,
Philadelphia, etc.

Late Trains Keep Local
Station Attaches on Move
Trains east and west over the
Pennsy were to-day off schedule, and
there were times when the attaches
about the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
tion had all they could handle. The
trouble was mostly through trains
from New York and Chicago./
In addition to taking care of the
l.elated passengers, two specials were
sent south this morning for the ac
commodation of the York Fair pa
trons. At noon two more trains were
necessary because of the big rush.

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.

RUMBLES
Railroads Do Good Work
in Handling Soldiers
Coincident with the start of the
Third division of the new National
Arin.v lor the training camps to-day,
th>: Railroads' War Board issued the
following statement in connection
with the part which tho railroads
have played in handling the biggest
troop movement ever attempted in
this country.
Including the National Guard, the
Regular Army und the new National
Army, the railroads to date have
moved approximately 720,000 sol
diers ffom their homes to training
camps or embarkation noints.
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.

MESSENGER GUUJS
Washington, Oct. 4.—The "mes
sencrer eriil" has made her appear
ance 1 on the government's payroll as
a result of the shortage of boys and
men in the capitol for that work.
For the first time In the history of
the government, so far as any one
here can remember, appointments
heretofore strictly confined to men
and boys have been opened to girls
and the Civil Service Commission has
announced the date of its first ex
amination for "mes-ienger girls."

PERMIT TAKEN
OUT FOR NEW
OPEN AIR SCHOOL
Brick Building to Cost $36,000;
Final Action Soon on
Girls' Site
A building permit was issued to
day to Strayer and Eshelman, con
tractors for the erection of the new
open air school for the Ilarrisburg
school district. The building will be
a one-story brick structure, 56 by
160 feet, and will be erected on the
sito of the present Susquehanna
building, Fifth and Seneca streets.
The old school is being torn down
and the one replacing it will cost
$36,000.
Complete plans and specifications
for tho new junior high school to
be built at Nineteenth and Chest
nut streets, arc being prepared now
by C. Howard Lloyd, architect, and
will be submitted to the board.
M. T. Kaat, architect for the re
modeling work at the Camp Curtin
school, which is to be converted Into
a junior school, has submitted his
first plans which were approved by
the board. Ho also is at work on
the general plans and specifications.
At the School Roard meeting to
morrow afternoon It is likely that
an effort will be made to get final
notion on the selection of a site for
the big girls' high school. It is be
lieved because of the widespread
public opinion favoring the plot at
North and East streets the Board
will consider this more favorable
than the site In Front street. Much
interest has been shown in the ques
tion because of the plans to develop
a civic center about the Capitol park
extension zone.
