A PRETTY GIRL
WILL ADOPT A
TOBACCO SOLDIER
Not Really, but on a Movie
Film, to Be Shown Here
For Smokers' Fund
It Jiss happened at last. After
nearly every activity in the United
States had given its help to the "Our
Boys in France Tobacco Fund." every
one wondered why the moring pic
ture folks did not wake up. And
now it has happened—a film called
"Betty Adopts a Soldier," which will
be shown in Harrisburg sooner or
later. One picture concern donated
the studio, another the actors, an
other the scenario—and among the
lot of them a picture has been pro
duced which is well worth seeing
even If it were not for charity.
The production visualizes the ad
ventures of Betty Douglas, motion
picture star, who, anxious to do her
part, reads cne of the 24-foot posters
advertising the tobacco fund. She
visits the office of ll New York mag
azine where the idea of the fund is
described to her. and right away
quick Betfy volunteers to "adopt a
wi ldier" and keep him supplied with
smokes for the rest of the war. Betty
gets very busy, persuading all her
iriends to contribute and when she
receives a letter from her "tobacco
soldier'* over in France the reader
would surely conclude that they "will
.live happily ever after." But the plot
does not go that far. It winds up
with Betty in an attitude of appeal,
i begging the audience which has wit
nessed the picture to do their bit by
l contributing to "Our Boys in France
Tobacco Fund."
This is all very interesting, but
■why wait until Betty reaches this
part of the country before you loos
en your generosity? Maybe hundreds
of American boys will be wounded
and in the hospital by that time and
lit is up to you, Mr. Stay-at-Home. to
Ibe there with a supply of the frag
i rant tobacco of our native land, the
W>nly kind the wounded soldier crafes.
The following contributions have
(been received by the Telegraph for
/the soldiers' smoke fund:

Immense Tonnage in
Course of Construction
at Delaware Shipyards
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Dec. 13.—Two hun
dred and seventy-two ships with a
tonnage of 2,240,000 are being con
structed In the Delaware river ship
yards. according to W. B. Ferguson,
representative of the Emergency
Fleet* Corporation of the shipping
board. This is thirty-six per cent, of
all merchant vessels being built in
the United States, he said, and is
three times as much tonnage as was
turned out in this country in 1916.
Mr. Ferguson announced the fig
ures in an address yesterday to the
employes of the American Interna
tional Shipbuilding Corporation,
which is operating the Hog Island
shipyard for the government. In
the twelve yards on the Delaware ,
river, he said, approximately 4 4,000
men are employed and estimated that
84,000 will be at work before the
big program is completed.
The Federal Department of Labor
is co-operating with the lleet cor
poration, Mr. Ferguson added, short
ly will establish shipbuilding recruit
ing centers tcf aid in creating the
I enormous body of men needed at the
[shipyards of the country.
HUNDREDSI6IN~ ARMY
AS TIME LIMIT ENDS
[Continued from First Page.]
the semiofficial figures verified at the
recruiting office this morning.
Recruiting passed the highwater
mark of Tuesday yesterday, when
the local recruiting office sent 783
men to training camps to enter the
service of Uncle Sam. By far the
greatest number of men picked the
uviation branch of the signal corps,
ground service. These men were ail
sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio,
and left before midnight last night.
The recryiting office was open until
2 o'clock this morning enlisting men
in other branches of the service.
The overwhelming rush of men to
enlist in the aviation branch v.-as so
great that the force of twenty men
stationed at the local office were
unable to take care of the rush. It
was estimated this morning that at
least two hundred men successfully
passed all examinations, but were
not sent because of small irregulari
ties in their enlistment and registra
tion papers that the recruiting offi
cers were unable to take the time
to correct. As 6 o'clock last even
ing was the deadline for the enlist
ment of recruits for service in the
aviation branches, the recruits who
were not signed up for enlistment
before that time were not taken care
of.
Sixty-five men from the city of
Harrisburg enlisted yesterday. These
men were all sent into service some
time last night. The contingent
from the city yesterday totaled the
number of Harrisburg enlistments in
the last days of the recruiting drive
to 118 men. Harrisburg still has
something like two hundred men to
make up in her draft quota.
Scores Enlist
Enlistment figures as submitted to
the reporter by recruiting officers
thia morning for the first three days
of this week are: For the district:
Monday, 258: Tuesday, 394; Wednes
day,7B3; for the city, Monday, 21;
Tuesday, 32;. Wednesday, 65. Of
the figures reported for the district
yesterday, about 350 men were sent
from Johnstown, but the Harrisburg
district is credited with them.
Men were still.being recruited for
the service for other than aviation
duty up till 12 to-day. Sergeant
Young said that forty men had been
recruited for the stevedore regi
ment, Quartermaster Corps, this
morning, who were sent to Newport
News to-day. A hundred negroes
were sent to Newport News in thei
same service yesterday.
Recruiting will not stop with the
end of the opportunity to enlist draft
eligibles, the recruiting officers said
this morning. The. office will con
tinue with its activities, enlisting men
undei- twenty-one and over thirty
one for service.
City Makes Record
The Harrisburg recruiting office
has sent to Columbus Barracks more
men than any other district, ac
cording to Lieutenant Lesher. He
stated he had received word from
the commandant at CoKimbus Bar
racks that there were far more men
at the barracks than they can take
care of.
That the enlistments yesterday
were not all made simply to escape
the rulings of the draft was evidenc
ed by the case of a Harrisburg boy
who was discharged from the Na
tional Guard last July for physical
disability who returned to the re
cruiting office nine times after he
was informed that he could not
qualify for service, in an effort to
get the War Department to make a
special ruling in his case.

listed yesterday:
