6 INTERESTING PERSONAL FIFTH ST. CHURCH IS DOING ITS BIT Ladies of Church Have Red Cross Auxiliary; Meet Every Week • The ladies of the Fifth Street Methodist Church are by no means indifferent to the urgent .call for Red Crohs workers. They are keep ing the home fires burning by busily plying needles for the Pammees. The Red Cross Auxiliary of the ahurch, which was organized in Sep tember and have met regularly ev ery Wednesday In the primary class room of the church to sew. knit and roll bandages for the local Red Cross Chapter, held their regular weekly meeting yesterday. The average at tendance of the meetings eigh teen. but thirty-five women were present yesterday to aid in tlie work. The officers of the auxiliary are: Mrs. W. H. Yocum; as sistant chairman, Mrs. George Gar man; secretary, Mrs. Walter E. Yocum; treasurer, Mrs. W. Fenster macher; chairman of the knittihg, Mrs. Walter Yocum; assistant, Mrs. K. E.

WHAT WAR HAS DONE TO ONE ENGLISH WOMAN Maude Radford Warren, the well known writer, has written an article for the Woman's Home Companion on what the women in England are doing, and she says: J'ln England and in France I met women of all classes, giving all there was of them to their country. The poor woman, who thought she was working as hard as she could, has been taught by the war that she can get more out of herself. The career of the great lady is no longer so ciety, but the business of war, and she asks more of herself than she ever used to ask of her maids. "Three years ago Lady Henry Grosvenor was leading the usual lei surely life of her class, differing from her friends chiefly in the fact that she was a collector of antique fur niture and art objects, and "gave a good deal of time to the study of her bobby. Now she lives in a cheap building with munition girls, eats the same kind of food they do and works even longer hours. She is In charge of the Y. M. C. A. canteens in Wool wich Arsenal and In the Vicars fac tory at Crayford, and also supervises two hotels for women and one for boys. She buys food by the ton. em ploys thousands of workers, and feeds, daily, tens of thousands. And she does It so skillfully there is no waste and no Aimplaint." i U. S. PREPARED TO MEET THE HUNS [Continued from First Page.] by Congress for all governmental purposes for the fiscal year / 1915 were $720,000,000, or nearly one tenth the 1918 appropriations for the War Department alone. Immense Sum For Ordnance "Of the total War Department ap propriations for 1918 $3,200,000,000 was fot' the ordnance department of which contracts amounting to sl,- 677,000,000 already have been plac ed. "On the first day of April, 1917, ! the ordnance department consisted ;of ninety seven commissioned offi i cers while now it consists of 5.004 ' officers, and, in addition, has 26,120 ! enlisted personnel. I "In addition to the selection and i training of this new force, the mak- I ing of these great contracts and the I follow-up necessary in the manu ! facturing, processes, a continuous | study of new weapons and instru [ mentalities has been kept up. Many of the classes of ordnance ! material requiring to be designed, j specifications drawn, and contracts I let, were wholly unfamiliar to our ! normal military practices. The i trench warfare material alono m i vclves commitments of $ 282,000,- 000. "For the quartermaster general's department in 1918 $3,018,000,000 was appropriated, or a sum more than four times as great as the 1915 appropriations for all governmental purposes. "On the first day of April there were 347 officers in the Quartermas ter Corps. On the first day of Jan uary, 1918, there was a total of 6,- 431 officers. "On the first day of January, 1918, nearly two billion dollars of the ap propriation had been obligated by contracts, or disbursements. Plans For Aviation Soot lon "The aviation section of the Signal Corps on the first day of April, 1917, consisted of 65 officers and 1,120 men On the first day of January, 1918, it consisted of 3,900 officers and 82,120 men. | "This division of the War Depart i ment was charged by Congress with , the expenditure of an appropriation I aggregating for 1918, $744,000,000, i or five times the 1915 appropriation i for the entire War Department. . "The engineer department, for ! which in 1917 $53,000,000 was ap T i proprlated, was charged by the 1918 i appropriation with expenditures of | $390,000,000, or about seven hun : dred per cent, increase. "There have been organized, train ed and equipped technical troops of I foresters, stevedores and railroad construction and operation men, ag gregating about 120,000, many of whom have ben operating in France for some months." Chief Accomplishments In summing up the War Depart ment's work the Secretary gave the following as its chief accomplish ments: .."I—A largo Army is in the field and in training: so largo that fur ther increments to It <-an Ik- ade quately equipiM-d and trained as rap idly as those that are in training can he transported. —The Army has liecn enlisted and selected without serious dislo cation to the industries of the coun try. "3—The training of the Army is proceeding rapidly and its spirit is high. The subsistence of the Army has been above criticism: its initial clothing supply, temporarily inade quate. is now substantially complete mid reserves will rapidly accumu late. Arms of the most modern and effective kind—including artillery, machine guns, automatic riilos and small arms—have lieon provided by manufacture or purchase for every soldier iu France and are available for every soldier who can be gotten to France In tho year 19t8. "I—A substantial Army is already in France, where both men and of ficers have been additionally and specially trained and are ready for active service. "3—lndependent linos of com munication und supply and vast storage and other facilities are in process or construction in France. " 8 —Great programs for tho man ufacture of additional equipment und for the produetion or new in struments of war have Ik-cii formu lated." "I make this statement," con tinued the Secretary, "fully aware that there have been produced be fore the members of this commit tee some expressions of doubt dif ference of opinion and disapproval "In the foregoing statement there are two exceedingly significant fig ures; namely, that on the first day of April the Ordnance Department consisted of 97 officers and the Quar termaster General's Department of 34, officers, while they now respec tively comprise 3,004 and 6,431 of fleers, rhere was no ready trained body of men in the country who could have been selected suddenly to assume the highly technical and specialized work of these two di visions. Men of somewhat similar training had to be chosen. As the work proceeded, subdivision and re subdivision became possible " Iteor K anlitlon Announced On December 15 I was, therefore, in ,i position to announce a general reorganization accomplishing the fol lowing results: . l l T" Cr^ lte<, a war council upon which General Crozier, General Sharpe, General Weaver, General Crowder and the chief of staff have been designated to sit with the Secre tary of War and tho Assistant Secre tary of War, and to which council men of capacity, either from the Army or from civil life, will be added from tune to time. Th e purpose of the council is that its members, be ing free from the burdens of detail administration, can take a large su pervisory view of all questions of or ganization and supply, and give to the Government the highest value of their talents and experience. "2—Under General Wheeler, with the advice of his military assistants and of industrial experts, the ma chinery of the Ordnanco Department is being thoroughly reorganised in preparation for the new phase of its work upon which it is now entering Its several operations will be con ducted under the direction cither ot officers already in the service or who are now in a position to give their entire energies to their administra tion or by men specially chosen from civil life because of their experience and capacity. "3—The Quartermaster General's Department is in process of similar reorganization and subdlvislonlng un der General Goethals, who enjoys the unique experience of having worked out at tho Panama Canal problems ot transportation and supply of a magnitude never until now ap proached in the history of dur Gov ernment. Here also the efficiency ot the department is being strengthened by the calling from civil- life of men of the highest capacity to admin istrate certain of its great subdivi sions.

"The quota for this district, J™ comprises Dauphin county, is $25,000. We expect the territory out side the city to contribute $5,000. May we ask those who have not al ready contributed, and those who feel that they should contribute more to this worthy cause, to help us do as Harrisburg has always done in its war campaigns—'go over the top' by Saturday?"
