14 RAILROAD SELECTED MEN ARE DISSATISFIED WITH NEW CAMP Pennsylvanians Would Like to Be Officered by Men From Keystone State Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29. —Pennsylva- nia drafted men who have been sent to Camp Gordon want to trans ferred to some other camp. There are nearly 9,000 Pennsylvanians at Camp Gordon, and, almost to a man, they have signed a petition to Gov ernor Brumbaugh begging him to use Ills influence to have them moved from Camp Gordon at once. The Pennsylvanians have no ob jection to Camp Gordon itself, but they say they object to being: com manded by boyish southern officers. They want to be placed in camp where they will be commanded by older men, preferably from Pennsyl vania. The officers at Camp Gordon, from captain down, are all reserve men, most of them Georgians, and graduates from tne Fort McPherson training camp. These young officers apparently have not impressed the Pennsylvanians, and so they are ask ing to be sent away. The Pennsylva ia boys claim that the War Depart ment promised that drafted men would be officered as far as possible by men from their own states, and they say they want the department to keep its promise. The action of the Pennsylvanians has created a stir at Camp Gordon, but General Eben Swift, who is in command of the Eighty-second divi sion, refuses fo make a statement. There are rumors that the action of the men in petitioning to be removed may be construed as a breach of military regulations and may result in punishment. Officers at Camp Gordon, however, refusb to discuss the situation and it cannot be learned whether or not the matter has been referred to the War Department. Training for actual warfare begins at Camp Gordon this week with al lied' officers as instructors. Several French officers have already arrived and other French and British officers are coming soon. Among the French instructors here are Lieutenant Fran coise E. liullet, a specialist in artil lery fighting; Lieutenant Maurice De Fort, of the French engineering forces, and Lieutenant Adrian Gay, of the Zouaves, a specialist in gren ade throwing. Major Joseph Thompson. ex-Sen ator from Pennsylvania, called at Camp Gordon and was the guest of C. jr. Shuster, chief plumbing inspec tor for the post. Major Thompson is with the Tenth Pennsylvania Regi ment at, Augusta and came here with the Camp Hancock football team. Railroad Notes M. .J.

President Wilson, in a statement issued to-day, urges every home and public eating place in the United States to pledge its support to the food administration and to comply with its requests. His appeal marked the inauguration of Family Enrollment Week, during which everybody in the country will be asked to become a member of the food administration in order to assume nation-wide co-operation in food conservation. The statement follows: The chief part of the burden of finding food supplies for the peoples associated with us in war falls for the present upon the American people, and the drain upon supplies on such a scale necessarily affects the prices of our necessaries of life. Our country, however, is blessed with an abundance of food stuffs. and if our people will economize in their use of food, pro vidently confining themselves to the quantities required for the maintenance of health and strength if they will eliminate waste and if they will make use of those commodities of which we have a sur plus and thus free for export a larger proportion of those required by the world now dependent upon us, we shall not onlv be r accomplish our obligation to them, but we shall obtain and establish reasonable prices at home. To provide an adequate supply of food, both for our soldiers on the other side of the seas and for the civil populations and the armies of the allies, is one of our first and foremost obligations for if we are to maintain their constancy in this struggle for the inde pendence of all nations, we first must maintain their health and strength. The solution of our food problems, therefore, is dependent upon the individual service of every man. woman and child in the United States. The great voluntary effort in this direction was sub stantiallv initiated and organized by the Food Administration under my direction, offers an opportunity of service in the war which is open to every individual, and by which every individual may serve both his own peoples and the peoples of the world. We cannot accomplish our objects in this great war without sacrifice and devotion, and in no direction can that sacrifice and de votion be shown more than by each home and public eating place in the country pledging its nupp ort to the Food Adminstration and complying with its requests. (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. COLORED FOLKS IN PATRIOTIC RALLY Dr. Crampton Chief Speaker in Farewell Service to the Young Men Who Leave Colored people of Harrisburg and vicinity united in a great patriotic farewell meeting last night at the Bethel Church, in Briggs street, in honor of the young colored men who left to-day for the training camps. The address of the evening was made by Dr. Charles Crampton. Dr. Crampton told the young recruits to the National Army that patriotic service depended upon willingness to serve in whatsoever capacity they may be assigned. "The man who digs the trench is just as important to military success as the man who holds it," said he. "The private in the ranks is as es sential to victory as the general who directs the movement. Every man must do his full share whatsoever he may be called upon to do and to feel as a private all the responsi bility that he would feel in higher place, for if all the men, high and low, do their whole duty there will be no question of early and complete success." Other speakers were the Rev. Dr. Cooper, pastor of the church and Dr. S. J. Lewis. Patriotic music was rendered and special prayers made for the success of American arms. GERMAITRETREAT IN FRANCE NEAR [Continued from First Page.] move expected and they must move back under critical circumstances from between the two wedges, those of Flanders and the Aisne, which have been driven relentlessly into their line by the British and French. Believes in Italy Italy is passing through a difficult moment, Mr. Baker says. The Austro- German drive is being pressed for ward by imposing forces. But once before Italy stemmed the tide of an Austrian rush, under less favorable conditions for the defenders, he points out, and hurled the enemy back, with only a taste of victory during the first days of his terrific on slaught. Winter is now coming to the aid of the Italians. The Secretary's review follows: "Renewed activity prevails in all theaters of war. "Important developments would appear to be impending. "Along the western, eastern and Italian fronts, in Macedonia, Ru mania, Mesopotamia and even In East Africa, significant operations are in progress. British Make Gains "The two outstanding features of the situation of the week are the re lentless British offensive in the Brit ish salient, resulting in substantial gains of terrain of important strate gic value and the sudden well aimed and sustained thrust of the French north of the Aisne. "It is evident that the allied drives along the western front are broaden ing in scope and intensity. The whole front, from the Houthust wood through the Passchendaele ridge southward to Lens and on to the Aisne is becoming the site of increas ingly heavy allied pressure which the enemy is withstanding with difficulty. "Side by side the French and Brit ish are pushing on through the Flemish lowlands towards Roulers. Attacks Repulsed "The enemy, believing he might find a rift in the otherwise impreg nable allied line at the point of junc tion between the French-British forces, directed repeated heavy counterattacks in this segment. These were repulsed. "While the British attacks during the past week have been carried out with imposing effectives, it is appar ent that the British command is SEEMS EVERYONE HEARD ABOUT IT All want to try new drug that dries up corns so they lift out.

A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts out without pain.

HARRIBBT7RG t6ii& telegraph maneuvering In order to gain im portant tactical advantages at a minimum cost. "The casualties to the enemy are rising steadily. "Slowly the allies are enlarging their gains in Flanders, driving into the heart of German resistance in the west. Allied Superiority Evident "The German armies fight on stub, bornly. if any further evidence of allied superiority be needed, it seems to be supplied by the decisive suc cesses won by the French during the week. "This offensive was launched on a six-mile front near the west end of the Chemin Des Dames at dawn on October 23. "General Petain so well masked his preparations that the enemy was taken by surprise as to the exact terrain chosen for the attack and was overwhelmed before being able to organize a concentrated resistance. "The German lines were penetrat ed to a depth of well over two miles at one point. "This first attack was immediately followed by a second assault in this same sector, crowned with full suc cess. "In three days' fighting the French have taken 12,000 prisoners. 120 guns of large caliber and a great quantity of other booty not yet enumerated. "The possession of the captured fort at Malmaison, the key to the entire ridge and the villages beyond, r.ow makes it possible for the French to enfilade the German positions along the Chemin Des Dames as well as to fire directly through the valley towards the fortess of Laon. "General Petain showed himself a pastmaster of strategy in being able to attain so decisive a victory in so brief a period. German Retreat Probable "The time has apparently come for another 'strategic retreat' of the enemy. It means that the Germans must again retire to a new entrench ed and carefully prepared line if they intend to resist further in the west. "It must be admitted that the German's 'retreat' executed as a re sult of the battles of the Somme last year was carried through with con summate skill. The enemy retired destroying all cover and taking up positions of marked tactical and strategic strength. "But the battle of the Somme had but one wedge. To-day we have the wedge of Flanders and that of the Aisne is being outlined. "The bad weather continues to be the enemy's best protection. He is relying upon this factor to impede the allied advance and by shrouding the battle area in slush, rain and fog, give him a respite until he can pre pare himself to meet a fresh on slaught. News from the Italian front proves that the Austrians were able to bring sufficient pressure to bear in Berlin in order to secure German assist ance. "As the result of the concentration of an imposing array of artillery and massed battalions, the Austro-Ger man forces have succeeded in pene trating the recently won Italian posi tions in the Tolmino sector. "The broken, steep, mountainous character of the terrain makes it difficult to hold entrenchments when once certain strategic objectives have been attained. These the Austrians have apparently captured in this sec tor which may result in the aban donment by the Italians of the Bain sizza plateau which they won after so valiant a struggle only a few weeks ago. "Italy is passing through a difficult moment. "We must remember, however, that in May, 1916, the Austrians at tempted a simjiar onslaught. Then they had line weather, a well-chosen terrain and above all the far superior fighting vigor of their armies to rely upon. At that time the Austrians won decided# successes during the initial days of the fighting and press ed on to the edge of the Italian plain only to be stopped and driven back. liO.se Men and Material "In the east, German naval opera tions in the vicinity of the islands at the mouth of the Finnish gulf were not carried through without serious loss both in men and material. "The Russian resistance apparent ly is consolidating. "The Germans using the islands as * base, have now gained a foothold. "The first landing on the Werder peninsula at the northern end of the Gulf of Riga was successfully carried out. A further attempt at another point failed. "It is not probable that the Ger mans will undertake for the time being, more than a strengthening of the positions now held in the Riga sector. "The retirement of the advanced enemy lines to a depth of fifteen miles in the region of the Dvina is re ported. "Engagements of some magnitude are noted along the Rumanian and Macedonian fronts where artillery duels and raids are increasing in frequency. These, however, are not of more than local importance. "In Metsopotamla, the British are continuing and consolidating their advance, driving enemy detachments out of important tactical points on the flanks, thus strengthening their whole line of defense. " "Rumors of an important move by the Turks, reinforced by certain picked German and Austrian units under the command of General Fal kenhayn, which have repeatedly been reported throughout the near East, have as yet failed to materialize. "The training of our troops in France progresses steadily and fa vorably. Certain units have taken their places in the front line trenches under actual battle conditions." German Disallusionment .
