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.

PRESIDENT OPENS PLEDGE WEEK
WITH APPEAL TO NATION TO SAVE FOOD
Washington, Oct. 27. 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.

IN FRANCE NEAR

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

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."
