BLISS AND BAKER I AT CAMP MEADE Flag of Full General Floats For First Time in Many Years Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., Oct. ! B.—For the first time in many a day, J the flag of a full general yesterday floated over an American camp in this country. It appeared with the flag of the Secretary of War upon the automobile which brought Gen eral Tasker H. Bliss, just promoted to the rank that has lain dormant since Sheridan's death, together with Secretary Baker, to Camp Meade. Both the Secretary and General | Bliss tooH a lively interest in the ! progress made toward molding a j motely gathering of civilians into | soldiers, who are expected to prove lan important element in the great ! army of democracy, j Also there was a great army of J visitors from Pennsylvania, the Dis j trict of Columbia and Maryland to ! take advantage of the last Sunday | when visitors will be freely permit - ted to roam about the cantonment. | It is estimated that at least 50,000 I persons overtaxed the limited ca pacity of the "Toonerville trolley," as I the electric road, whiih is inade | quate to the heavy demands upon it. I has been dubbed. j It was noticeable that the meetings j between the mothers and sisters of j the rookies were not tearful as they were on previous occasions. Evi j dently the women have become ac- I customed to thinking of their boys ' as soldiers, and most of them were | smiling yesterday. There were many i Congressmen and Washington of- I flcials at the camp, and all were i proud of the big things being done, i An interesting incident was the I surprise sprung by Major General Kuhn, who introduced his fiancee, ! Miss Helen Squire, of Washington. | General Kuhn had kept his Vomance secret even from his brother officers, and none of them knew of his en gagement until he blushingly intro duced Miss Squire to them yester -1 day. Liquor Dealers Do Not Take Any Action on Raise in Price I The Daupliin County Protective As sociation of Liquor Dealers met yes ; terday, but did not take any action on the raising of prices, due to the , new war tax. | However, Uncle Sam took action be- I fore the meeting and yesterday any | o(<ion was not thought necessary. On October 4 I'ncle Sam required the | liquor dealers to pay $2.10 extra tax i for every gallon of distilled liquor in I their possession, and twenty-four cents for every gallon of wine. The breweries advanced the price a barrel on beer and twenty cents a lease. With these facts facing the ■ liquor dealers the raise in prices was the only alternative. But they are making the raise individually. Nearly all the local dealers have joined in the raise and some of the '{clubs of Harrisliurg have followed suit. Many of the members of the clubs have figured out that it will be cheaper to buy Liberty Bonds Instead j of their favorite drink, if the prices | go up any higher.
