CITY COMBED FOR THE RED CROSS [Continued from First Page.] l.ership drive, and, as has been point ed out, future Christmas seaa>ns should be linked with our efforts on behalf of the Red Cross, because the spirit of both of them is the same." Mrs. Brumbaugh, who has been ac tive loyally on behalf of not only the Bed Cross but both Liberty Loan drives, said this morning: "I am intensely interested in Har risburg's present campaign. The city lias done so well in the past. I trust the entire 30,000 members hoped for will be secured." Piikx Set* Pace Charles E. Pass, of the Schmidt Baking Company, and Ross Bal thauser yesterday afternoon set a new record for quick work. In twen ty-five minutes they secured twenty live dollar memberships, many in the Taylor poolroom. The Enola Red Cross workers or ganized yesterday. Their first re port showed sixty memberships se cured. Their drive continues to-day and to-morrow; and they hope to set a pace that will be hard for similar sized towns to follow. Elsewhere in the Telegraph ap pears the appeal of Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert to the schoolchildren of Har risburg, in which she asks them to do the same splendid work for the Red Cross that they did for the Sec ond Liberty Loan.

Canvassers Work Hard If Harrisburg lags in the back ground as a contributor to the Rod Cross Christmas Membership Cam paign, it will not be the fault of the enthusiastic team-workers, >vho nie plugging away in an effort to climb the ladder. With the rebuffs they receive, the workers get many en couraging words and tell many stor ies of the sacrifice people undergo, that they may give their dollars to the war relief organization. A man who was rescued from the gutter by a rescue mission in Phila delphia about five years ago, came into Red Cross headquarters yester day morning and signed a member ship blank. He took membership supplies and secured six signatures yesterday. He says he'll get ten more before to-night, when he leaves for his home in the west. A workingman came into Red Cross headquarters yesterday after noon, with this tale: "I have a wife and a child, and under present circumstances, tho $3 looked big to me, so I didn't join when the Red Cross workers asked me a few days ago. Now. 1 h&ve some money given to me as a Christ mas gift, and X am going to take out memberships for the family." The idea was so good that Mercer B. Tate, of the local committee sug gests that other people use It, tak ing their holiday money for Red Cross memberships. Mrs. Hannah C. Schummelfeng, one of the active Red Cross workers in the uptown district to-day told of the work and made suggestions for the next campaign.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! School Children Are Asked to Help During the second Liberty Loon campaign the executive commit tee relied upon you to carry home with you the story of the loan and the great good that would be ac complished through the purchase of the bonds. Your work at that time was remarkably well done, and I am sure that no father or mother in Harrisburg was unaware of v, hat the bonds were and what they would do. Now there is more work for you. , There are a great many fathers and mothers in Harrisburg who io not understand that the Red 'ross is working liand-in-hand with the government of the United States to help win the war. Yoa all know what the Red Cross is. X am going to ask every one of you to tell the story of the Red Cross Friday and Saturday in your homes and simply insist that your fathers and your mothers join the Harrisburg Chapter. The Chapter is re lying uj*.i you to make the Fri day ana Saturday totals extra ordinarily large. We want you to repeat the good work you did in thet second Lib } k° an campaign. Thank you!

Quite some time ago the work had been given to some one with the understanding committees should be arranged and the work outlined for the drive. For some unknown reason, this seems to have been neglected; then, at almost the eleventh hour, Dr. John A. Slierger who is a very busy physician, was asked to take the captaincy, which he said he would do without any hesitancy. In a very short time he had his com mittee, both ladies and gentlemen, busy. They found that the people were very responsive and showed a splendid spirit of co-operation, which has been proven by the amount given, namely, $175. More has been promised which will be turned in at an early date. "I suggest that some printed mat ter be distributed in many districts explaining explicitly and plainly what the Red Cross work actually means: both hearts and pocketbooks could be reached even more readily for future work. "The workers of this committee were: Mrs. Edward Wallower, Mrs. Emma Brinser, Mrs. O. C. Bing, Mrs. P. Li. Smiley, Mrs. John F. Yost, Mrs. Percy Smith, Mrs. P. Keller, P. H. Mauk. B. B. Drumm, Dr. C. J. Man ning. I. Reese, Scott Stroll, Dr. John A. Sherger. The following note from an en thusiastic Red Cross worker: "The writre is one of the workers in the Red Cross campaign and came across "true patriots" offering tlieir bit which I think should be published as an inspiration to oth ers. Harrisburg is filled with "true patriots," especially among the little folks who are intensely inter ested. "1 Master . George Rickards Moore, 88 North Eighteenth street, grandson and namesake of Colonel George Rickards, colonel of the One Hundred and Twelfth Regi ment of Infantry, stationed at Camp Hancock, which is made up mostly of Harrisburg boys; is a member and also an enthusiastic booster of the Red Cross. He is busy knitting for the soldiers between school hours, too. A good example for our young school boys and girls. "2—Master Edgar J. Martin, 2 407 North Sixth street, gave a canvasser fifty-five pennies, five nickels and two dimes, his entire savings of a good man v weeks, to pay for his 1918 membership in the Reft Cross. In addition to his membership he bought Red Cross seals with money he had saved. When the schools were selling these seals he did his share with the rest. "3—Mike Marchegiano, of 1410 Regina street, an Italian shoe re pairman, was a proud member of the 1917 Red Cross campaign. He was approached twice by the 1918 canvassers and loinpd bnfb times. Four of his brothers are in active service on the Italian front. His youngest brother of 18 was recently killed in action. Mike's home Is between Naples and Rome." Shippers Asked to Relieve Freight Congestion by Releasing Cars Quickly Means for relieving freight con gestion were discussed here yester day at a meeting of the* special com mittee recently appointed as a sub division of the National Defense Committee. Railways and shippers were represented at the session at which were made plans for future coporation during the period of the war. Among those present at the first meeting of the committee at the En gineers' Club yesterday were W. L. Shafer, of the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce; C. M. Taylor, "represent ing the L. C. Blair Company, at Huntingdon; George H. Hayes, rep resenting the Carlisle Light, Heat and Power Company, and Mr. Brown, representing the Manufac turers' Association of Lancaster. Mr. Brown was chosen chairman. Results of the meeting yesterday will be in the efforts of the receiv ers and shippers throughout the Harrisburg railway district to re lieve the congestion of freight and the shortage of cars, by loading and unloading-freight quickly, and load ing all cars to capacity. The sec retary of the organization will be authorized to issue letters to all busi ness interests in the district, urging them to co-operate with the roads in relieving the car shortage, and lift ing the embargoes. Receivers of freight will be reminded that it is at the destination that the freight usually piles up, and the care are inactive, causing the dreaded embar goes. Receivers will be urged to un load propmtly, even at inconvenience or added expense to theMseives. Shippers will be urged to ship tlielr commodities in carload lots, in or der to get the full value of the cars they use. Railroad authorities urge that they receive co-operation in their efforts to relieve the car shortage. They have said that the times are unusual, find shippers and receiveds must co operate if freight is not to be com pletely tied up.

Dec. 21. —Direct as surances of the confidence of British and French commanders in General Pershing's ability and their satisfac tion with the breadth and soundness of his preparations to make Ameri can arms effective on the western front, have reached Washington with ; the return from Europe of Major | General Hugh L. Scott, former chief of-staff, who was in conference to day with Secretary Baker and other War Department officials. The men wno are actually leading the allied armies, from the com manders-in-chief and members of the war ministries, down to the corps and division commanders, have been unhesitating in expressing their ip-l proval of the chief of the American expeditionary force and his methods. General Scott visited virtually every! part of the battlefront and went care fully through all the training pro cesses of both the French and Brit ish armies. He believes General Pershing has laid the foundations for American Army training upon what is best in French and British meth-' ods and experience. There is no doubt in his mind that American troops will be the equal of any on the front when they come to grips with the German army. They are taking their training enthusiastically. There is no pessimism as to the outcome of the war in the lighting lines. General Scott found. The armies of the allies are cool and con fident. The confidence of victory among the fighting mep, he found, became greater the closer the ob server got to the front. All Who Run May Read The handwriting of Horace Gree ley was something terrible.
