A. secretary, on active service with the American expeditionary force in France, he says: "X suppose I have written one hundred letters and packed as many Christmas boxes for boys who wanted to send some thing home and were unable to do it themselves. It is wonderful the spirit in which messages are sent. Here they are, wet, dirty, from knee down one solid coat of mud, living in bar racks, working hard all day, yet they tell you to write they are hav ing the time of their lives; that they are glad they are here, but they teli it to you in a way that reminds ycu of the little boy who swore be cause there was only one thing else to do and that was cry. No one can tell the Joy in taking the place of father, mother, sister and brother for hundreds of homesick boys. "If the folks home could only real ize what men and women who are serving: are doing for their boys tliey wonhl double the amount of money they are giving. If it were possible to have on hand all that is needed many a young fellow could be kept from going down the line. "What a heroic race the French are—what wonderful fighters, never giving up. suffering all the time and never cast down. I cannot under stand how they bear their burden and are so cheerful. By the way, there should be pockets on tlie knitted undervest for there Is no'hip pocket in their trousers, so they have no place for their handkerchiefs." f y StxaXfo'vcL 3(ofU4e East 22nd Street by sth A venus NEW YORK A new lircproof hotel, most conveniently located.

HARRISBURG TELEGRXPH NEWS OF STEELTON MORE COAL IS SHIPPED HERE Two Carloads Arrive at Yards ! of Detweiler Brothers; More Expected The arrival of two carloads of coal in the borough this morning greatly relieved the serious coal shortage existing for almost a week. The coal was shipped to Detweiler Brothers. Another car is enroute and is expected in the next twelve hours. This shipment of coal will be suf ficient to provide for about 250 fam ilies in half ton lots. This will not begin to fill the orders, but will tem- I porarily'relieve the situation, it was announced at the office of Detweiler Brothers. Pesldents who were badly in need of fuel have taken advantage of tl>e otfer of the Steelton Store Company to purchase a supply in bushel lots. Many residents are being supplied thif way. Yesterday a continual stream of wheelbarrows, express wagons and sleds poured out of the warehouse with a bushel of coal on them which will supply heat for a faTEilj. for a short time. With them they took the promise of the dealer that more would be sold when an other shipment arrives. Coal is being sold by this concern in half-ton lots, delivered to the home, but this is very indefinite and may not be delivered for a week on account of the sacrcity of teams and labor. Sales in bushel lots were of fered to give residents a chance to secure temporary supply . Coal dealers were optimistic over the future situation. They were unanimous in their opinions that a steady stream of coal would be shipped to the borough, keeping res idents supplied as they need it.

The tlist number was posted last night. The Rea 1 Estate Department duplicated the record of the Roll Shop Department when :i report of 100 per cent. members)<:;> was made at the headquarters to-day. Officers of the Chapter are of tho opinion that many of tho departments are holding out until they have reached this percentage. Members of the committee are considering a proposition of sending members of the boy scouts around the borough streets to request those who have joined the chapter to place the service flags in the win dows. "If Steelton is to reach its slogan, every person must work untiringly the remainder of the campaign," a member of the committee said to day. The total number of members obtained so far Is very Bmall com pared with the other campaign," she continued. The majority of the can vassers are working hard while others are leaving the work go until later in the week. This is a bad mis take as the earlier a resident is in duced to join the sooner that per son will get another member," she said further. Every ecort is being made by com mittee members to stimulate enlist ments. Members of the committee are instructing canvassers to im press upon the people the task Steel ton has undertaken to accomplish and just what Is expected of them.
