16 CITY TO RECEIVE CREDIFORALLOF ITS ENLISTMENTS Recruiting Officers Deny Har risburg Will Have to Draft Full Quota That Harrisburg will receive credit ! for the number *f men enlisted since ( * the first draft, when her quota is made j tip for the second draft, is the state ment made by lieutenant Lesher in | answer to the statement made that the city would not receive credit for the five hundred men enlisted, but ] would have to till a full quota. According to this statement, only I three hundred men will he taken j from the city on the second draft, in- i stead of eight hundred, which proba- j bly will he the complete quota. The; recruiting officers were positive in their statement that the city would get credit for all men enlisted before* December 15. The lieutenant quotes the following from Bulletin No. 32. ssued by the War Department May 24, 1917. "Quotas of the several states, ter ritories and the District of Columbia! or subdivisions thereof shall be de- I terniined in proportion to the popula- I ton thereof, and credit shall he given ! to a state, territory, district or sub- I division thereof, for any number of | men who were in the military serv- j ice of the United States, or members j of the National Guard on April 1, 1017, or who have since entered the j military service from any such state, j territory. district or subdivision. | either as a member of the National, Regular Army or National Guard.'' Work to Continue i Lieutenant said this morn ing: "That is an Act of Congress, and Provost Marshal General Crow- ! der can make regulations only within | the modifications of the act. and can not change the act itself. That must , be done by the Legislative body that enacted it." Lieutenant Lesher was very much j aroused by the statement that the re* J cruiting office would be closed after i December 15, and that only a small | force would he retained to do the work. He said: "There is positively: nothing in that statement. 1 can't j even understand where any one got any rumor out of which to print such a story. We are receiving orders from the War Department regularly j to make permanent changes and im- j provements in our recruiting system, j arid to establish substations. If there were any likelihood of a letup in re cruiting activities, we would have known it long before this. We are going to be busy after the fif- j teenth recruiting men between the, ages of 18 and 21, and 31 and 41."

Make the Pigs Grow > Is the New Slogan < ".More pigs in Pennsylvania." That is the slogan uf the Tioi?a ' County Pig Club, an organization composed of seventy-five boys and jrirls who are banded to produce ad- : ditional supplies of food as a pa- ] triotic duty. The club and the banks ' of the county, particularly in Wells boro, are co-operating with the food 1 department of the Pennsylvania 1 Committee of Public Safety. K. J. Perry, county food chairman, says the big.raising plan is becoming pop ular. The banks have agreed to advance the'money to buy the porkers. The boys and the girls are to raise them. Next fall they will be sold. The the banks will be repaid with interest for the loan and the profit will bo to the youngsters for their patriotic ef forts. < >ne of the features of the cam paign will be the awarding of prizes for the best essays on how the chil dren raised the pigs. In Tioga county the corn crop is not heavy, so that considerable feed will have to be purchased, but this has only served to arouse the boys and girls to greater efforts to pro- I duce the largest amount of pork at I the smallest price for feeding.

Dec. 7.—lt looks as if I Santa claus would do a rushing bus- I j iness this year in spite ow the thrift \ which tlfe public is urged to prac tice in the purchase of nonessentials. The shops are filled with a greater variety of toys than ever before, and, like everything else, they are much more costly too. One woman went j into one of the largest of these chil j dren's paradises the other day and I within two hours succeeded in mak ing purchases aggregating $4,500, and I a visit to the same place proves that I it was not a difficult task, either. For I instance, there is a six-foot automo , bile of the roadster type fitted with | real electric lights and a spare wheel ! the price of which is $65. The power | for this car is supplied by the young i ster's husky little legs, but there is : another one. a two-seated roadster, j priced at $1.75, that really runs. It is I equipped with pneumatic tires and j has most of the appointments of a | real car of its type. ! The aristocrats in the line of toy I boats bring S2OO, yr close to it. One ! priced at S2OO is a fully-rigged three masted schooner that is guaranteed Ito sail. It is about seven feet long ' and complete in all details, it is op : crated by electric batteries and can develop considerable speed. Other ' boats Include mechanical ste'amers selling as high as *6O, small battle ships at $35, "freighters" which ac | tually can be given cargoes at $16.50: j an electrically operated wooden sub- j [ marine chaser at $35, and another one I of metal at *65. Such dolls no little girl ever saw before. There is an almost endless assortment and they range in price from a few dollars to considerably I over SIOO. For $54 there is a doll's [ trosseau basket complete. The poor little children of the rich, they have not the pleasure of a wish ungrati lied. Penna.

Only seventy-two freshmen came from private preparatory schools.

The casual-| ties are believed to be light. Shortly after 3 a. m. various ma chines proceeded up the Thames and some distance into Kent. Both tho above groups appear to have car ried out preliminary attacks with the object of drawing gunfire and exhausting the defenses, for it was | not until an hour later that the most j serious attack developed." "Between 4 and 5.30 a. m. two croups of enemy machines crossed the Essex coast and three groups the Kent coast, proceeding towards Lon don on converging courses. "Their tactical plan seems to have been to deliver five simultaneous attacks on the capital from the northeast, east and southwest. The whole of one group, however, was turned hack by gunfire and the others, not more than five or six machines, penetrated into London." | This is the first Gerftian air raid j over England in more than a month. The last previous raid occurred on the night of October 31, being made by about thirty airplanes in seven groups. Eight persons were killed and twenty-two injured. Bad weather conditions probably have been responsible for the pause in the German operations. An offi cial British on aviation last night said two raids were carried out over Germany on Wednesday by British airplanes, the first which had been possible for more than a month, owing to incessant bad weather. Seven persons were killed and 21 injured in the air raid. Chancellor Bonar Law announced to-day in the House of Commons. Of the victims, three were killed and ten injured in London. i RAILROAD STOCKS SHOW NEW RESPONSE Stocks Respond to Recommendations of Interstate Com merce Commission; Industrials React Moderately; Liberty Bonds Irregular i By Associated Press I New York, Dec. 6.—Wall Street. — Some of the prominent railroiul j stoclis made further substantial re sponse to the recommendations of j | the interstate Commerce Commia-1 sion at the opening of to-day's mar- j ket.

Ice Cream Plates to Be Cut to Meet Milk Prices The price of that delectable luxury, ice cream, has not been generally af fected by the boost in milk, accord ing to a Market street survey 10-day, but some of the real fancy concoc tions, such as a \v ,- ii>ned cream sun dae could not stand the pressure and that particular dainty now costs -0 cents Instead of 18. This also ap plies to a fruit salad sundae and in fact all such combinations. Where there are only two elements in the sundae, lot instance, a chocolate, marshmellow or chocolatenut sun dae, the old rate of ten cents still holds, and the hot chocolate can be purchased for ten cents, although it may not linger at that very long. In one of the bigger ice cream em poriums of Harrisburg, the rate of ice cream a plate has advanced from 10 to 15 cents a plate and from 45 cents a quart to lit) cents. But in a majority of shops the prices of 10 cents a plate, 25 cents a pint and 40 cents a quart were to-day quoted. Retailers said, however, that if milk becomes much scarcer prices are pretty sure to increase all along the line. Red Cross to See That 70 Sweaters Are Sent to Camp "The Harrisburg lied ("toss Chapter will see that the seventy men will get sweaters," said Mrs. I.yman I>.

Mrs. Hrumbaugh was warmly prais ed by the Bed Cross president for her sympathy and interest in the boys of Uncle Sam. "We'll send sweaters to' the boys," Mrs. Gilbert concluded. Governor Brumbaugh yesterday 's sued a statement, in behalf of his u i.'e, stating that seventy boys in the Army and Navy, who hale from Harrisburg and Steelton, were not provided with sweaters. He urged Harrisburg people to follow up their usual gener osity by giving sweaters and other comforts to these boys. Mr. and Mrs. G. F.
