Augusta, Ga., March 11. —Of all

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

comrades in France.
Under Muir the Twenty
eighth division of sturdy Pennsyl

so "over there" and rumors are rife
of a movement in the near future.

An engine that runs with soft
ness, due to the now noted
"Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn"
Manifold —Chalmers features
In the days of yesterday, "roar" and "wallop" were the
terms used to define an engine's power.
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.

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.

that caused Che senatorial investi

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."
