CITY COMBED FOR

[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.

complished by the committee in

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

We want you to repeat the good
work you did in thet second Lib

mention should be made, considering
the short time they were given to
do the work.
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.

GEN. PERSHING'S
ABILITY IS PLAIN
TO ALLIED HEADS
Breadth and Soundness of
Preparations Arc Warmly
Praised by Associates
By Associated Press
Washington. 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.
