'DNIN3AH Avcranxvs Auditorium on the evening of Fri day, December 28, and tell in his own words what it means to be "Somewhere in France" fighting the Huns. "Up-and-at-'em Empey" is one of till *igUtC Ullf war has produced for us Americans. The newspapers and magazines have been full af articles about famous marshals and sea captains, until the public have become sated with knowledge of the great ones of the earlh. Then along came Empey and told about the whole 'thing from a new angle, the man in the trenches who bears the brunt of carrying out the plans of the War lords. He became famous almost over night. And the next day he did not go and order a hat of larger size. Empey is the poet of the Tommy and the Poilu, the common soldier —only he neither writes nor talks with verse. In the simplest of lan guage he tells the humor and pathos of life in the trenches, with the mud and the "cooties" as constant com panions and bursting shrapnel or insidious enemy gas as frequent vis itors. The warfare he celebrates ts not the pomp and circumstances of general headquarters, but the daily bit of the private soldier who hasn't any idea of what the strate gical experts are planning for him the next day, but knows he and his company have a very simple duty to perform in whatever few yards o? trenches they happen to be at the moment —to keep the Germans from getting through. He tells of what our sons, sweet hearts and brothers —perhaps even tually ourselves —will know of war fare when they get "over there." From him you will get first-hand in formation about what you have been reading of: the bayonet charge, poison gas attacks, gas masks, hand grenades, trench raids, star shells, persuaders, come-alongs, shell-shock, and'a hundred and one other things that have only been names up to the present time. And it is told in the simple style and the pic turesque slang of the trenches. Empey is no experiment as a lec ttfVcr. Whatever tiualms he may have £elt at lirst as to his powers •B an orator, vanished after ho had faced his lirst big audiences in New York and Philadelphia. His vigor ous and picturesque personality proved to have even more hold aver an audience when he met them face to face, than when he reached them through the medium of his book. Empey, we can be proud to say, is an American. He liad served seven years as a militiaman and six years as a trooper in tli-3 United States cavalry when the war broke out. The Lusitania disaster "got him." As soon as he could iget across, he went to London and enlisted. He was great on volunteering for special service, and had soon volunteered himself into the bombing squad and then the machine-gun service, whose members in the trenches are called "the suicide club." The personality of the man and the message he brings are summed up fairly well in his own words in the foreword of his new book. "The First Call." This is what he says: "Samme, old boy. you're going over and lick hell out of Germany, give Kaiser Bill and his efticiency stuff such a walloping that there won't be enough gas left to till one of his baby-killers called Zeppelins. Samme, old boy, you've never been licked yet, and you're getting too old to learn new habits." The seat sale opens at the Or pheum Theater Wednesday, Decem ber 26th, and as per announcement elsewhere popular prices will pre vail.

The frost nipped raucus voice of a husky mail carrier rang out in the corridors of the Telegraph building this morning just/ as the editor had slipped into his swivel chair plan ning for a heavy (lay. He was point ed out by an office boy to the totter ing postal employe who promptly plumped down a whole bushel of mail addressed to "Santa Claus." "Who said I was Santa Claus?" sang out the patlenfitary echo In ! emphatic tones. "You don't see any whiskers or sleigh bells on me do you?" "Says 'Santa Claus, care Harris burg Telegraph,' " maintained the mail carrier, "and 1 guess you re fleeted. So long." ('ailing for help from behind a parapet of first class letters it was soon discovered that the children of the Industrial Home located at 1900 Swatara street, had a very firm notion of just where to find a kind, generous Santa Claus who would make it his business to see that all those unfortunate kiddies would get son ething on Christmas to make them forget that they are in the care of charity. When the envelopes were cut open it was found that those youngsters were just perfectly cer tain of getting what they asked for— faith sublime, and in order to make as good an impression as possible on Old Santa Claus every child had made a noble effort to send an im maculately clean sheet of paper, and as for the diction, it is right to the point. What Tlioy Want Here are some samples of what, the children of the Industrial Home DECEMBER 22,19!7. would love to have for Christmas: "Dearest Santa, I wish you woul<V .Jt mo one of those gifts, knitting needles, rubbers or hair ribbons. "I am 11 years old and my name is Anna Jones." Athele I-lile would like awfully well to have "a book, a pair of roller skates or a pair of hair ribbons," and she is 12 years old. <'urtls Bricker's appeal may be :i little confusing but it is sincere. "I have heard about how we are to write to you for things at Christmas, Santa, and I would like a sled or a drum or a 1 rubber. 1 am nine years old.'* Exactly what is meant by rub ber the M. E. Santa Claus'could not figure. George McCune, aged 16, rises to the ambition of "A rifle or a searchlight or a sled." Another one read, "Santa Dear: Wo*n't you get me one of these gifts, a book or doll or a sewing box." It is hardly neces sary to say .this is not a boy. No, indeed. It. is Fannie Shelby, aged nine. William Ream, of the mature age of twelve, would highly appre ciate "a new nectie" or in lieu of that a "pah- of rubbers or a good book." The principal call from the boys- is a sled, book, rubbers, searchlights, neckties, games, roller skates. The girls also like games, but they are very strong for hair ribbons, lockets, rubbers and books. Besides the names mentioned let ters were received rh*m the follow ing children: William Hawk, Frank Starry, Elizabeth Jackson, Herbert Engle, Irene Cassel, George Beidel, Elmer Crawford, Lloyd Lenker, Ed ward Grove, Carl Drewett, Harry Htnes, Henry Hartwick, Harold Jac ques, Ethel Ream, Norma Latherow, Kennet McCord, Naomia LeSueur, Arthur Colvin, John LeKueur, Ruth McCord, Howard Swails, Evelyn Elsie Moore, Catherine Ecton, Evelyn Davis, Albert Witmer, Travis Hawk, Lester Clugston, Mor ris Sttpley, Joseph Sanders.
