Palmer, 1719 North Fifth street, in a letter to his parents gives the stay-at-homer a good idea of how the Army feeds its men. "I had a really fine Christmas" he relates. "For dinner we had roasted turkey with filling, dressing, mashed pota toes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, to matoes, celery and some kind of stuf fed pickles. In front of each lad's plate there was a plate loaded with an orange, apple, a tine piece of cake and nuts. Each fellow got a box of candy in front of his plate, too. "In the morning before dinner we had church. And Chaplain -ttassler certainly is a fine man and all the fellows have a great interest in him. He had a large Christmas tree dec orated with tinsel and Christmas balls. And under the tree he had a pound box of candy for each fellow. There was 1.200 pounds of candy given out. After church when we got to our tents the Bed Cross had a package for each one. They cer tainly'were fine. I got a large olive drab handkerchief. It is about two feet square and Unmakes a dandv muffler. There was all kinds of candy, like almond bars, chewing gum, salted peanuts and a little fruit cake. There was a dandy folding board with checkers and chess and dominoes. Gee, I can't tell you every thing. I certainly had a fine Christ mas and I hope you all did, too. "How are all the neighbors up there? Tell them I send them all the best of wishes for the new year. "Everything is going fine down here. Jt was so warm the last couple of dnjV we fellows were running around in our shirt sleeves. And i then we were still warm. Palmer went out with the Eighth Regiment and is now with Caisson Company, No. 2, One Hundred and i Third Ammunition Train. RAILROAD RUMBLES FREIGHT FIRST WHEN CONGESTIONS ARISE; CUT FOUR All freight on the Pennsy Is to be given preference. This is the new order of things on the main line to-day. This means that all trains carrying passengers, if in any way, hold up freight traffic, the passenger trains must be side tracked and the freight given clear tracks. However all freight will he hand led so as to not interfere with the passenger traffic, but when a con gestion comes, it is "freight first." Pennsy officials, do not look for much interference on the main line. Four more fast express trains to and from the west were annulled yester day. With those already off, it Js the general belief that increased traffic will be handled without in terfering with passenger travel.

It is also the belief here that notwithstanding the de nial that the Pennsy would handle increased freight traffic and turn Need For Relief Shown in Pennsylvania Report; Big Decrease in Income Need for thte proposed government relief sought of the Interstate Com merce Commission is pointed out by operating figures of the Pennsylva nia railroad system, the decrease in railway operating income for the lines east and west having been $3,- 181,23 for November, compared with the same month last year.

COUNCIL PASSES 1 1918 BUDGET BY UNANIMOUS VOTE Mayor Keistcr Explains Why Cuts Were Made jn •Conference Upon t;ie nnal passage of the budget ordinance for city expendi tures this year Mayor Daniel L. Keister made the following state ment in voting for the measure; "In voting for the budget as a ] whole I want to say that while I recognize the necessity for radical treatment of a number of important items, It is with regret that I vote in favor of eliminating from the ordinance the item providing for 'he widening of Third and Walnut streets along the Capitol Park at! this time. However, I am assured that the city's share in this great public improvement will be taken care of, perhaps, tvithout this specific j appropriation under the present con ditions. "We all appreciate the obligation of Harrisburg to co-operate with the state in every way, especially in working out this remarkable civic j transformation, which means so j much for the future of the city, j While it is advisable, perhaps, to omit the direct items covering this I matter under the existing conditions, | yet I feel that we should be ready when the time comes to take care of the widening of these streets, as planned by the state authorities. Costs llavc Increased "The appointment of twenty ad ditional policemen was requested at this time and notwithstanding the j fact that it is admitted that the city | as it is at present is under-policed. I it is regrettable that it was found absolutely necessary to cut the num ber to six; this because the revenues would not permit of the larger in crease. "The people of Harrisburg are In telligent and progressive and in my judgment there will be no serious criticism of the work of the City | Council respecting the annual budget. All realize the enormous j increase of costs in all departments I and the maintenance of an efficient j municipal administration depends j upon proper expenditure consistent with such economy as may be prac ticed without seriously impairing MASS MEETING Under Auspices of Harrisburg Branch, National Association For the Advancement of .Colored People TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Thursday Evening, 8:15, January 3rd, 1918.
