HARRISBURG ROYS PLEASED WITH WORK AT CAMP Twenty* Eighth Division Is Heady For Active Serv ice "Over There" <Special to the Telegraph) Augusta, Ga., March 11. —Of all tlie cities of the country it is a ques tion whether any has a finer repre sentation in the great new Army of Uncle Sam than Harrisburg. almost it thousand of the boys from that city being in the several branches of the service at Camp Hancock. And every one of the thousand is anxious •to join' General Pershing and their, comrades in France. Under Muir the Twenty eighth division of sturdy Pennsyl vania ns is fast being maac ready to so "over there" and rumors are rife of a movement in the near future.

Today, it is the softness of power, the controllability of it that fascinates. It is a new kind of power to many, brought to public attention through the famous "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold of the Chalmers. For here the gas is heated, and "cracked-up" at the throat of the carburetor by the "Hot-Spot" and then rushed quickly via the "Ram's-Horn" Manifold into the combus tion chambers. It is "toasted" so nicely, "pulverized" so fine, that the instant after sparking there is well-nigh no waste of gas. Little of power comes out of the exhaust. All the power comes out of the rear wheels —and such pleasing, well harnessed power, that your enthusiasm for driving reaches a new peak.

MONDAY EVENING, I cannot help being impressed with the approach of a momentous day. Not a minute is being wasted, j From the general commanding to I the humblest private there is the : most earnest attention to every de | tail. Harrisburg people have reason especially to be proud of their men in the field. Many of the boys have | been given responsible posts and the ! best traditions of the home town in previous wars will be upheld. Captain Edward J. Stack pole, Jr.. I since 1918 a member of the U. S. ' Reserve Officers Corps, this week j signified in a letter to the War De j partment his willingness to accept a I similar commission In the National | Guard of the United States and he is I now captain of Company M, One l Hundred and Tenth Infantry, but under general orders was detached and directed to continue as division officer in charge of bayonet prac tice. He has been associated with Captain Ryan, of the British Army, in this work, for several months, having first 'been assigned to the I one Hundred and Ninth Machine Gun Mattalion. The assignment to ithe One Hundred and Tenth Regi ' ment Tenth Pennsylvania) ! will keep him with the state di vision. Another Reserve Officer, Captain Hugh R. Doane, also accept ed a N G. U. S. commission and has been assigned to the One Hundred and Twelfth Regiment, which con tains many of the Harrisburg boys. He Is a line soldier and has also been assisting in the bayonet practice as well as directing the physical in struction of the division. Reviews Division Brenton Wallace, formerly with the Harrisburg Academy faculty, is here with the Field Artillery. He came to Camp Hancock with the First City Troop which suffered the fate of the Governor's Troop and other cavalry organizations. It is reported here that David R. Shotwell, who has been doing T. M. C. A. work in India, is on the way home to enter active service. Many V. M. C. A. men are going into the various branches for service at the front. Secretary of State Lansing was given a review of the division and other demonstrations of the fitness of the Pennsylvania troops. Perhaps the most spectacular of the events arranged in his honor was a thrilling exhibition of going over the top. realistic bayonet work in forCe against dummy Germans, rifle fire after a charge through a smoke screen and hand-to-hand bayonet attack and defense. L4ttle was left to the imagination save the actual killing of the enemy. This remark able demonstration was staged in the dry basin of a great reservoir on the edge of Camp Hancock which re sembles the Yale bowl or the Prince ton stadium. In this place are con ducted the ciass drills, the specta tors looking on from the rim of the arena. Nothing was more inspiring than ! ! the massing of the bands for a great ' ; concert by some hundreds of sol diers. Accompanied by the instru- I ments these men sang "Onward I'hristian Soldiers," "Keep the Home ' Fires Burning," "Over There" and ' similar selections. That great, wave , of harmony sweeping up from the i red-sloped bowl will not soon be for -1 j gotten by Secretary I>ansing and the j hundreds of enthusiastic spectators. 1 j Camp Hancock is said to be the most, healthful of all the camps and ; the boys certainly seem ready for anything. They agree that the gov ernment is taking good care of th'em ' ! and the sentiment of all is expressed in the language of the ex-baseball i player who insisted that all he want l ed was a handful of bullets, a gun j and directions to Berlin. BRITISH AVIATORS DROP BOMBS ON BKIiGIAX POINTS By Associated Press London, March 11.—British avia tors of the naval air service yester day made a raid over Belgium, dropping bombs on the airdrome j and ammunition dump at Kngel, the admiralty announces. Two tires were [started. In aerial combats three I enemy airplanes were destroyed and I four others driven down out of con ! trol. All the British planes returned safely. ! PRAISES HANCOCK MKN Senator Hitchcock Is Impressed by Spirit of Augusta Camp Soldiers Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., March 11.—"If Uncle Sam had thirty-two divisions equal to the one at Camp Hancock, the American Army would now be the finest in the world," said Senator G. M. Hitch , cock, of Nebraska, before leaving j Augusta yesterday for Washington. He has been here a week. Senator Hitchcock has great con ■ fidenee in the American soldier, and | the United States, in his opinion, is rapidly getting on a war footing. I The Senator said that to see 30,000 ' husky men, every inch a soldier, and 1 possessing such remarkable spirit, ! was a revelation to him. He had not \ before realized that a division is an army, and that the" Pennsylvania National Guard alone constituted a formidable fighting force. The Nebraskan thinks the shak ing up of the War Department has already worked wonders. It was not conditions in .camps like Hancock that caused Che senatorial investi gation, according to Hitchcock. ''There will be no need for an in vestigation of camp conditions next j winter," the Senator aid, "as we I have now gotten out of the rut. 1 Much red tape has been eliminated and we are prepared to wage war hi earnest." hxrrbsbtjrg Wk telegraph; NEAR DEATH ON FRENCH FRONT Harrisburg Boy Has Exciting Time Facing Bochcs "Over There" Gordon L. Werner, whojvas grad uated from tlie Technical High School in the class of 1917, is now "with the colors." He is a son of George A. Werner, 2143 North Fifth street. He tells vividly of life in the trenches, and of his experiences, in a recent letter to his brother, Eeo A. Werner, 514 Mahontongo street. His letter follows: "Feb. 13. 1918. "Dear Eeo: "Haven't written you as yet, though, I've received quite a few from you .since landing on this side. A person doesn't feel like writing much here, because the things of real information and interest are 'tabooed' by censor regulations. I've been asked in some of my letters to tell something about myself, and the duties I perforin. Well, soon after coming to this camp. I was placed In the camp surgeon's office as or derly, which job I've, held ever since. T am dispatch bearer to the different headquarters in the district, and these errands quite frequently re quire the use of a horse. My knowl edge of French has been very use ful to me, as it is frequently neces sary to visit various French outfits. I believe I have been fairly success ful, as the Major put in my recom mendation for first class private to the chief surgeon. This will in crease my pay by three dollars, but 1 stand in line I am told, for further promotion. Have had the oppor tunity lately to be assigned for tem porary sanitary duty at. (censored) and on the front. Was absent from camp about three weeks. My ex perience while there was such that it won't be forgotten in a hurry. I feel sure I missed death on two oc feel sure I missed deoth on two oc casions, once, during an air raid on Paris on the night of (censored) and again, when a French ammunition train was blown up, killing twenty six and injuring two hundred. Now don't think I'm lying or exaggerat ing, for I'm not. One of our officers here at the hospital, was there also. In the case of the air raid, we hap pened to be quartered right in the bombarded area. In our immediate vicinity, twenty people or more were killed outright. The .affair was very exciting, without doubt. I may say here that I have taken out the max imum amount of insurance (ten thousand dollars.) I do not know, but that I may be disabled for life, — a person never can tell —and in that case, I'd have a monthly income to depend upon. I've made a fifteen dollar allottment to George, for twelve months. Guess he's received the first allotment of it by this time. Savagiiess An interestins incident, indicative of one kind of people fighting, oc rurred at the village of (censored) on the front. An English Sanitary Officer on his daily inspections was conscious of a peculiar odor in the hut of a Bornese soldier. He did not mention the fact till a few days later, when the odor became posi tively sickening. He made a search of the place, and what do you think he found? Five putrefying German heads done up in a blanket. Well that savage put up an awful fight before the cause of the trouble was finally removed. He seemed to be keeping those heads as souvenirs for the folks back home. These people and thc Zulu's of South Africa are more trouble than they're worth. One day they fight the French and the next day Germans. As near as I can tell, this war will never be decided by fighting. It is all very well for the people back home to say the Dutch are licked, but just the same they held every thing from Antwerp to the Darda nelles. If they are starving, the healthy robust prisoners that we take, show no ill effects from it. I ■ hink the Allies would <lo well to try "starvation" if it would give their men the physical appearance of these Germans, T see every day. They don't worship the Kaiser like our newspapers back home say they do. All they think of, is von Hin ilenburg and von Mackensen. I have talked a great deal with them, —that is, as far as my limited knowledge of the language would permit. T find that quite a few of i*them have relatives in the U. S. Re cently, however, orders have been enforced forbidding us tg have any intercourse with prisoners of war. They regret this a lot, because of the tobacco and food we used to give them. These fellows are'alright, but they're fighting for a bad cause. Well, I'll close for to-night, but will I write soon again. Sincerely, Gordon."
