Dec. 7.—Fighting with three armies for the cause of world freedom is the unique exper ience of John Kossarides, a Greek, holder of the croix de guerre, from France, now on a short furlough with friends here. He is now a sim ple private in a machine gun unit stationed at Gettysburg, awaiting orders for service abroad. Kossarides first saw service as a lieutenant in the Balkan war with his own country. At the outbreak of the present struggle, not being in sympathy with the position of his nation, he left the country and en tered the French Foreign Legion as a lieutenant, serving through the Dardenelles campaign and later in the trenches in France. During this latter period of service lie was , awarded the croix de guerre for ex ceptional bravery. His term of enlistment was up about two months ago, and he re signed his position, coming to this country, but donned ft, uniform again shortly after the declaration of war against Germany by enlisting as a private in the machine gun section, his lack of knowledge of English preventing him from assuming at the time a higher post. CURTAIL am SOCIAL SEASON DUE TO WAR [Continued from First Page.] are now victims of the "knitting face" as it is whimsically called o* er at Red Cross headquarters. The great assembly dances, always so prime a featur# of social gaiety here have not even been contemplat ed, and the University Club dance went a glimmering a month ago. "All oft" reported Mark T. MUnor this morning. "Only activity at the Uni versity Club these days is the occa sional small party, with food ad ministrated luncheon and plenty of sound-talk. The club will not un dertake any big expenditures in these times." Young Men in Camp The reason is found in Uncle Sam's training camps where the pick of the -city's young men are now working long hours each day in training for the great adventure. The young men, who in former years were in waiting on fair dancing partners now are wearing their country's khaki. So earnest is the patron of so cial festivity that scarcely one of the fixed entertainments is to be count ed on. Society folk are entirely too immersed in patriotic duties, and whatever life is to be observed is accredited to activity of the younger folk, girls who have not made their debut and college boys. Even the Sat urday night Country Club dance lias been eliminated, and with the ex ception of the occasional private party or luncheon , society leaders have conspired economize strictly to the letter, all to the end that Uncle Sam may have every vital help that the nation can muster. 13 MILES OF NEW WAR ROAD IS IN DAUPHIN COUNTY Committees From Three Coun ties to Confer With State Highway Commissioner Dauphin county contains approxl- I mately thirteen miles of the propos-1 ed Harrisburp-Reading war-toad section of the William Penn hlgh i way, a conference regarding which! will be held with Highway Commis sioner J. Denny O'Neil within ten i days. The fact that the old Berks-Dau- ] phin pike is already graded, and that plenty of material for road construc tion lies within trucking distance, might make it possible to do this construction at $30,000 a mile. In that event Dauphin county's thir ■ teen miles would cost $390,000. The ! Highway Department proposes put ting down a concrete foundation the ; first year and the top the second, i If only half the total expense were j to be undertaken the first year Pau j phin's share on the 50-50 basis would would be $97,500, the state-paying an aqual mount. The county's share | would be born either by the county itself, or by the county paying half ' and the boroughs and townships the 1 remaining half. The figures for 1916 Show the tax : able valuation of Dauphin Vounty to jbe $78,143,271. The county, if it : saw tit, could borrow one-tenth of i one per cent, of the total valuation | annually, or $78,143, until a total j of $1,562,864 was reached —two per ! cent, the total valuation. Or with : the approval of one grand jury an -1 nually it could borrow half of one I per cent, annually, $390,715, until the two per cent, were reached. Committees appointed to interview the Highway Commissioner include: Lebanon county, H. A. Honker, Myerstown; County Commissioner Levi Gilbert, George K. Krause, Leb- I anon; W. H. Worriloy, Lebanon ! Chamber of Commerce; Dr. D. M. Rank, Annville, and William H. Wreider, Palmyra. Dauphin county, John E. Snyder, Hershey; the Dauphin county com missioners, William Jennings, J. Clyde Myton, M. H. James, E. L. Mc- Colgin, and representatives to be chosen from Hummelstown and oth er points. PRIVATES ARRESTED James C. Conley and James L. Smith, privates in the United States Army, who claim they belong to the Second Division Machine Gun Bat talion, are in the city lockup pending word from Gettysburg concerning the disposition of the ease. The men were | arrested for drunkenness by Chief Wetzel last night, and the Recruiting Office was notified, which got into communication With Gettysburg. The men cvlaim the ywere permitted to leave, and are due at the camp at Gettysburg to-night at 12, as they leave for Hoboken to-morrow.

Advice to Lovelorn DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Are there any nice men? That may sound like a rather blunt ques tion. but it is a question which has arisen in my mind after going with young men for about four years. I associate , with refined people and meet young men of very good fami lies, whom I invite to my home and have my parents meet them. After seeing them for awhile I am in sulted. They seem so nice, and I am so disappointed. I conduct my self in a quiet manner, and cannot understand why it is Impossible to enjoy the friendship of young men. Certainly girls who have lots of friends must overlook a great deal, but I cannot just for the sake of a good time. I may add I am not good-looking, but people say I have pretty eyes. Will von kindly answer my question and tell me just what Is the trouble'.' DISAPPOINTED. The trouble, I think, is with you yourself. Of course there are "nice men"—plenty of them, in fact. Why you so often fancy yourself insulted I do not know. Do you flirt a bit. try to lead them on, do your best either in innocence or mischief to arouse emotions, and then feel In sulted when you are "misunder stood?" Your questions are so gen eral that I cannot understand them fully, but T fancy that you have rather a hysterical, romantic desire to dramatize everything that hap pens to you and to feel yourself the heroine of little adventures. If you are natural, simple and friendly in your attitude toward him, the aver age man meets yqu with the same simple friendliness.

There will be drumfire, barrage fire, the artillery and something closely resembling tank attacks when the bodies of com mittee members start over the top. Camouflage will be used only by the enemy. • Intensive artillery preparation has been going on for the last few days, unler the direction of Chairipan Wil liam Jennings of the mammoth drive committee, and Mrs. Lyman D.

The first Red Cross campaign and the two campaigns for the Liberty Loan resulted in every community in the organization of teams which have be come permanent for drives of various patriotic natures. Attention is called by Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert to the fact that on Decern- - ber 15 interest is due on the first Lib erty bonds. The December 15 coupon calls for a payment of 87 cents.

If each of these bondowners would detach tho lirst interest coupon on liia or her bund antl forward it to us with 13 cents additional it would be a mighty lino start." A direct appeal is to be made to tho thousands of persons in llarriuburg and Dauphin county who have Christ mas saving's funds. These accounts will be paid by the banks within a few days and the opportunity to buy Red Cross memberships as Christmas presents will be seized by many. The old question, "Gee whiz! What can I buy for a dollar?" will be well an swered. "One of the primary purposes of the campaign," said Chairman Jen* nings to-day, "is to build up a tren niendous membership for tho Re<l Cross, so that th enemy will under stand that the war has the moral support of the rank and file of the American people, and so the Ameri can soldiers will know that they have the folks at home with them vlieart and soul."
