SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE WITH EMPEY The Conscientious Objector —•OR— Coming Through Under Fire By Arthur Guy Knipey Author of "Over the Top," "First Call," lite. (Copyright, 1918, McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) (Continued) "What, do I think of a blinkin' onscieutious objector?" answered rcev Ilonney from the corner of the re buy. "Well, what with this toomin' war on and blokes goin' est by the thousands, a pacifist or onseientious objector is one of two lings, he's cither a blinkin' coward r a bloody pro-German. But it's inny the way some o' them bligh- M's, with their West End ideas oack i Blighty, changes their minds hen they gets out here in the mud, nd sets their llrst glimpse of a ooden cross. It's either a flrln' luad up against a wall, a bloomin' . C. (Victoria Cross) or a "rest in eace' sign over their nappers for lem. A strange thing it is, but ■lie, those blokes never go through ie trenches in an ordinary way like e do: it's a case of extremes, no in etween stuff. ""Next time you're on a burial arty take a look at the third cross ■om the left in the fourth row as on enter the cemetery. You know lat path that leads through the rchard just off the entrance of that ig R. E. (Royal Engineer) dugout; ell, under that cross rests a bloke ho back In Blighty professed to be pacifist. He wouldn't blinkin' well oliinteer, not likely; they had to raft him, an' when they did he re ised to light, so they stuck him in he N. C. C. (Non-Combatant orps) and handed him a pick and lovel and put him to repairin' >ads and diggin' praves. Well it idn't take long before he was prop •ly fed up with his Job, and he irew down the pick and shovel and •abhed up a rifle an' bayonet. Oh. >t, he clicked it allright and went . 'est. In fact, he was burled in lie o' the graves lie helped to dig. suppose some o' those college ofll srs called it the 'irony of fate' or >me other blinkin' high sounding hrase. but we knows that it was ily common, ordinary luck, 'cause e all knows that if you're going to pt it, you'll get it. no matter if >u're a gentleman's son or a bloom i' chimney sweep. "This blighter I'm telling about as in my platoon when I was in Company, an' he used to give e the proper pip with his argu ents against lighting and the likes that.

St. Armand, out "l>att" was In the rest billets awaiting' a new draft he fore going up the line again. You see we had clicked it pretty rough at Fromelles an' a platoon looked like a blinkin' squad when it lined up for parade. 1 .was playing 'house' in that estaminet right across from that bashed—in church on the cor ner when his labor batalion came through and took over billets just opposite from the estaminet. I was sitting near a window and watched them pass. A sorrier bunch of spe cimens of men, I never saw; it turn ed my blinkin' stomach to look at thm, what with their* pasty faces, stooped over shoulders and straggl ing gait. Right then and there I admired the Germans for their sys tem of universal military training. It' Kngland had of had a little more of it, there never would have been a war and right now we would be in Ulight.v with our wives and nippers, instead of sitting here in these bloody ditches waitin' for a shell to come over with our name and number on it. j "After the Labor Battalion took I over billett., several of them came into the estaminet and sat at a table | near me. They started to discuss the war and voice their opinions about the 'top hats' AT home. This I bloke I'm a talkin' about was the loudest of the bunch, he seemed to have a grouch on everything in gen eral. I listened to him a few min utes chucking his weight about until it bloody well got on my nerves. Chucking up my game of house — and I had paid half a franc for my board too —I leaned over to him and said: " 'You must be one of those bloomin' conscientious objectors we reads about in the papers, one o' those blighters who didn't believe in liglitin' but is willing to sit back in Blighty and let us blokes out here do your bloody flghtin' for you, while you gets a blinkin' good screw (salary) sitting on a high stool in some office.' " "He turned to me and answered: "It's the likes o' you who volunteer ed for this war what keeps it goin.' If you had all refused to go at llrst, there wouldn't be any war?" "I couldn't see it his way at all, and went right back at him with: 'Yes. and if it. wasn't for us voluteer ing the bloody German flag would I found my brother he did not recog i nize me and I hardly knew him. I I immediately began to give the rem edy, without his knowledge. In a few days he seemed to be losing his , appetite for drink. He tried different •saloons in an effort to tind one where whiskey would taste right, but it was i useless. Within a month he stopped drinking. All the desire had left him. the chains of alcoholic' slavery had , been broken. His health began to improve and soon he was a new man. i He secured a splendid position and tJie craving for liquor never returned. After eight years I told him how he had been cured and gave him the i formula. I was afraid to tell him the secret before for fear he might re turn to drink. I advise everyone who has a rela tive or friend addicted to the liquor habit in any form to use this pre scription. It is harmless and marvel-, ! ously effective. Just ask your drug gist for prepared Tescum powders, drop one powder twice a day in tea. i coffee, milk or any food or drink, i Bach powder makes a dose. It Is tasteless and odorless and cannot be • detected by anyone. NOTE—The manufacturers of pre- ! pared Tescum powders, referred toj above by Miss Brown, sell it through j druggists under a steel-bound, money- ' refund guarantee. It has been used by thousands since the formula was tirst made public and has brought im-l measurable happiness to many homes. It is sold in Harrisburg by J. Nelson! Clark and others. tcDpCTORIS ;JaP VICi y ! The questions answered Oelpw are 1 j general in character, the symptoms or j diseases are given and the answtrs will apply in any case uf similar na ture.

Can you give m< a remedy," Aiiswei" Yes, your weakness is due to the coughing, but you should be well relieved by using the follow ing: Get a S'/i oz. package of es sence mentho-laxene and make ac cording to directions on the bottle, then take a teaspoonful everv hour or two until the cough is cured. This makes a full pint of the very best and safest cough syrup. If your druggist does not have mentho-laxene, have him order it for vou of the wholesale firm. * * • Mrs. M. asks: "My scalp itches ter ribly is feverish and a great amount of oily dandruff is present.

Four years ago my husband had a bad cough and found no relief from all cough medi cines we could try.

Oregort. j | now be ll.ving over Buckingham Pal | ace and King George would be in | the Tower of London.' "lie thought a minute or two and answered: 'Well, what of it: one i flag's as good as another and as for the bloomin' King what did he ever j do for you but make you pay taxes so he could bloomin' well sit around i doing nothing." j "This was too much for me, that | blinkin' jellyfish a slinging mud at , our King, so I lost my temper, and j taking my glass of Vin liouge in my I hand I leaned over close to him and 'When you mentions the I King's name is it customary to drink i his health. Perhaps he never did anything special for me, bu{ I have never done anything special for him. and even at that I've done a damned sight more than you have for him, so take this wine and drink his health, or I'll dent that napper of yours so you won't be able to wear that In hat of jours.' " "He got kind of pale and answer ed: 'Drink the King's health, not likely. It's (hrough him and his bloody top hats in parliament that I'm out here. Why in tho blinking hell don't he do his own lighting and let us poor blokes alone.' " "I saw red and was just going to hit him, when a big Irishman out of the Royal Irish Rifles next to me grabs the glass of wine from my hand, and looking the ' blighter in the face yells at him: "Well, if the King ain't done noth ing for you English, he's done less for lis Irish, but 1 volunteered to come out here for him. and here I am, and glad of it, too. and hopes some day to get into Berlin with the King's forces. You won't drink his I health; well, you can bathe his 1 health.' With that he threw the ' wine into the blighter's face and smashed him In the nose with his I list. The fellow went over like a log ! with the Irishman still agoln' for him. If we hadn't of pulled hint [ off, I think he would have killed that conscientious objector. The military police came in to see what all the row was about. I had clicked three days C. B. (conlined to bar racks) and didn't want to get ar rested so In the confusion I made tracks for my billet. "The next time I met the bloke was when we buried old Smith out of the 10th Platoon in the cemetery at La Bassee. He was one of the grave diggers. All during the burial ! service he stood looking at the Union ! Jack with a queer look on his face. When old Smith was lowered into the ground and the dirt was thrown on him. the eonscientous objector, Watkins was his name,"came over to me and said: "I hear he (pointing at oVd Smith's grave) is forty-eight years old and has left a wife and three nippers back in Blighty. He was too old for the draft, wasn't he? Then he must have volunteered." "I answered: 'Of course he vol unteered, and there he lies, deader than hell, but I'll wager a quid his wife and kids will be proud of him —and that's more than your kids will be about you.' " "He sneaked off without answer ing. Three days later I nearly dropped dead when our lance cor poral came into our billet with a bloody nose and a beautifully trim med lamp. When I asked hint how he got knocked about, he told me a fellow out of the Non-Combatant Corps, named Watkins, has mussed him up just because he had called him a white-livered coward. "Watkins ducked twenty-one days No. 1 on the wheel and when his sentence was finished they trans ferred him to a fighting unit and bang! into our platoon he comes. "Many a talk I had with him about that paciiist stuff —he hadn't changed a bit in his ideas—but he kept his mouth shut about the King and the Top Hats at home. "Then we went into the trenches and I knew his .finish was near. A firing squad or 'rest in peace' was to be his lot; they all get one of the other sooner or later. "After two days in, Fritz got rough and opened up with a pretty stiff bombardment. "Watkins was in the fourth squad in a dugout in the support trench when a 'Minnie' registered a direct hit on the roof and caved her in. Kveryone but Watkins was killed. How lie escaped was a marvel, the rest of the squad being smashed up something awful. We collected the pieces and buried them the next day. Watkins helped dig the grave'-. "For two days Watkins scarcely spoke a word, just went round with a far away look on his face." "tin the third night after the burial, volunteers weije called for a bombing raid, and 1 could scarcely believe my ears when I hear that Watkins had volunteered. It was the truth all right—he went along. "We crawled out into No Man's land under cover of our barrage and waited. Watkins was next to me. Suddenly a star sheel went up and we crouched down in its light. I was laying so that I could see Wat kins—blime me—he had no rifle or bayonet. I whispered over to him 'Where's your rifle'." He answered 'T threw it away.' Before I had time to reply the signal to rush the Ger man trench 'vas given and I lost sight of him." "It was rough going in the Ger man trench and we had quite a little of hand to hand fighting. Star shells were going up all around us. One of our blokes in front of me was just going around the corner of a traverse when a big German got lilm through the troat with his bay onet and he went down. Something sprang past nie like a wild cat and closed with the Fritz. They both went down together. Just then an other German came at me from the entrance of a dugout and I was busy. I managed to get him. Then our lieutenant and two men came round, gave the order to get back to our trenches. The lieutenant stumbled over the three bodies in front of me. One of them groaned. It was Wat kins all right. Unarmed he had sprang at the German and with his bare hands had choked him to death but he had a nasty jagged bayonet wound in his right side. We man aged to get him back to our trench es, but he died on the fire step. Be fore cashing in he looked up at the lieutenant and with a grin on his face 'Tell the bloomin King and the top hats at home that I died for Kngland, and I hope that like old Smith my nippers will be proud of their father. God save the King'—and then he died. "We burled him next morning. So, my opinion of consclentous ob jectors and pacifists has not chang ed. They are either cowards or pro-Germans. "You see Watkins wasn't either, he was a soldier of the King and a damned good one, too." TOBACCO IS BADLY NEEDED ON FRONT LINE Americans in France Feel Need of Smokes From Home Said the Plow to the Sword: "I must turn into you, Till the Hun and his horde For our mercy shall sue." Said the Sword to the Plow: "I must turn into you. For the battles hang now On what harvests may do." So the Sword and the Plow Are become as one blade. That the tyrant may bow And the Furrow be made. -—McEandburgh Wilson. The Hun must be put in a furrow and covered up, at least for a while. Any talk of compromise Is idiotic. When a nation feels like the'clergy man who lias written this in a re icnt book, it is plain that this na tion must be smothered temporarily: "Anyone who cannot bring him self to approve from the bottom of his heart the. sinking of the Liusi tanla, who cannot conquer his sense of the monstrous cruelty to count less perfectly innocent victims and give himself up to joy at -this vic torious exploit of German defensive power—such an ono we deem no true German." To set these misguided people right will cost America many young lives and the least that the home people enn do Is try and make our soldiers happy. This is no time for harping on the ill effects of nico tine. According to the annual re port of the controller in Blair coun ty, there was expended during 1917 the sum of SS3O for tobacco provid ed the inmates of the county home. Those who have used the weed all their life are not deprived of the ccnsolation the weed affords, and so it is furnished them at tho public expense. The county officials are on record as saying that "contentment plays an important part in the cure of hospital patients." The same holds true with wounded soldiers. On us they depend for this balm, and no conscientious person need feel anxious if he sends smokes to sol diers who are risking their lives to keep this nation free. Churchmen Get Ready to Launch "Dry" Fight The central committee in charge of launching and organizing the county prohibition campaign, con sisting of the Rev. Dr. J. Bradley Alarkward, J. W. Kllenberger and Harry B. Saussaman, has arranged to hold their first meeting on next I Monday when twelve other men will be chosen to complete the govern ing body. It has been decided that three separate committees are to look after Harrisburg, the district south of the mountain and that part to the northward. A large number of workers are to be enrolled so that every district will be canvassed. The W. C. T. U. with its 700 mem bers, promises to be an important agency in lighting for prohibition. Through its president 700 members in the county have pledged them selves to take active part. It is es timated that the delegates at the ratification convention last week rep resented at least 20,000 church mem bers. EXAMINATION OF MEN IN FIRST CLASS PROGRESSES The local draft boards are mak ing rapid progress in their physical examination of registrants in the first class and the high average of men for general military service has been maintained to the end. As an example, Board No. 1 yesterday put through fifty-four men with only one rejection. Twenty-three went to the medical advisory board for final classification, but thirty qualified for first line service. The proceedings at local Board Xo. 3 show that about one-half the reg istrants, examinations being held twice each week, qualify for active service and scarcely any are reject ed entirely. Board No. 2 is just starting in on examinations, the de lay being caused by their waiting ; for the new regulations which ' should arrive any moment from j Washington. MEETING POSTPONED Mrs. C. P.

"There's a Reason" RAPID PROGRESS ON PENN-HARRIS Contractors Hope to Get the Structure Under Hoof in Short Time With installation of wastepipes and drains and other work complet ed up to the ninth floor, and work to begin in the near future on the tenth floor of the new million-dollar Penn-llarris Hotel, the building is progressing just as rapidly as pos sible, under present weather condi tions. The building is to be 197.2 feet high. Almost ISO feet of this has already been roughed In. Car penters, bricklayers, plumbers, steamfltters and others arc working full time. "It is impossible," said IS. A. Johnston, construction man ager, "to make any forecast of when the hotel will be finished because our materials are so much delayed." Architectural Manager llawes is of the same opinion. Bricklayers have faced the exte rior of the entire third floor, and have begun to face the fourth with light brown brick. To-day steamfltters are connecting the hotfl with the mains of the Har risburg I.ight and Power Company on Walnut street. The tap on the main will be eight inches, increasing inside the hotel to twelve-inch feed pipe, feeding the 100-horsepower motors to bo installed in the near future. A breakdown on the electric crane haltr-d bricklaying work yes terday. An electrical expert was called and the crane will be put in operation to-day, it was stated. Woodworkers, finishers and interior decorators were assigned no definite date for operations, because of the uncertainty of arrival of material. Tile circuating icewater tank is ex pected in the near future. It will be installed as soon as the tenth story is completed. Plumbers will instal the piping for showerbaths as soon as the plastering on the third floor is completed. Shope Selected For Machine Gun Service [ Paul F.

Use the rolling pin or a kitchen range! Whatever you do, conserve your crockery. Here's why: You Harrisburgers, watch your crockery bills! Handle crockery w'ith care these days, because china has become a minus quantity and the supply of crockery is becoming alarmingly low, Down in one Market street store, j where a crockery department is maintained, the store manager is tearing his hair and gnashing his teeth. A Telegraph reporter came up to him last night. "Heavens," the manager moaned. "I have no time to talk. about theaters and dances and sugar supply. Tell me where to get some china and crock ery for my customers." At this same downtown store a pretty little lady who has charge of the china and crockery department was fran tic last Saturday afternoon. She wilted like a iiiy in midsummer as she faced the stormy crowd of buy ers in front of her counter. "Gra- OBOE STORE OPENS 8:30 A. M.—CLOSES 5:30 P. M.

"I have been so busy these past two days, I don't know what to do." It developed that the store had receiv ed a shipment of crockery Friday afternoon. Saturday evening the en tire shipment, amounting to $373, was sold and buyers were clamoring for more. The store manager, inci dentally, has orders on his books for crockery amounting to $3,000, and factories cannot make it fast enough to supply the demand. The reasons for the scarcity are because has practically become a minus quantity. Almost all china ware was made In Germany, and, because of the war, there is none of the fragile ware in this country. The shortage of china has become so acute that consumers have turned to crockery as a substitute, meeting with great favor. Most of tlio crock ery comes from East Liverpool, Ohio.
