4 CHUDRENRAISE FLAG AT SCHOOL Patriotic Ceremony at Gettys burg Building Participated in by 300 Pupils i Gettysburg. Pa.. March 21.—Rais ins: of a new flag on the High street school building, was tho occasion ol! a great patriotic outburst on the part of the children. This school building houses the children of one section of the town from the first to the sixth grades and about three hundred of them attended. When the flag ceremonies came off the entire building was emptied and the teachers and pupils lined up, al most forming a hollow square. As the flag was flung to the breeze, drawn up by Ruth Jean Beard and Chester Rogers, two tots from the first grade, the assembly stood at at tention with their hands up to their foreheads in salute, and as soon as Old Glory reached the top the strains of "The Star Spangled Bapner" burst forth with true patriotic fervor from the children. This was followed by "l Salute Thee, Old Glory." And then seeming to come from an inspiration and with greater enthusiasm than anything connected with the exer cises, the voices of the children could lie heard for several blocks around the building as they burst forth in "The Stars and Stripes Shall Wave Over Germany."

Acting Commissioner Palmer, of Labor and Industry, announced that more than 30,000 places in Pennsylva nia industries are even now available for soldiers and sailors handicapped by various classes of disability. Sev eral thousand employers responding to inquiry bave indicated- their de sire to employ men handicapped by war wounds. There are 1,829 places open for men who may lose the pow er of speech from shell shock or oth er causes. Even loss of both legs at the hip joints, total blindness and loss of both hands at the wrist are not disqualifying handicaps against properly selected employments. I>r. Becht to Speak Dr. Becht will appear before the College anl3 University Council, com posed of presidents of Pennsylvania colleges, in session at Harrisburg to morrow to outline Pennsylvania's plan for the war wounded and to lequest the college heads to draft regulations offering every inducement to students in service to resume their college work after the war and to permit them to change their courses if they so desire as a result of their war experience. Adjutant General Beary will speak at Allentown to-night on the plan of Pennsylvania to rehabilitate its wounded soldiers and sailors that they may continue useful occupations in spite of disability. The Governor'* letter Governor Brumbaugh's letter ap pointing the committee is as follows: "We are face to face with tle im minence of caring for the injured soldiers of this republic on their re turn to this commonwealth, and It has been represented to me by Mr. Palmer, Acting Commissioner of La bor and Industry, that it will be pos sible to place thousands of these in jured soldiers in productive employ ment in Pennsylvania provided we sanely and wisely plan to care for them as they return. "To that end I am asking you four gentlemen to constitute a committee, of which Adjutant General Beary shall be chalrmau, to meet at a place to be designated by him on Thursday of this week at an hour suited to your mutual convenience and to be indicated by the Adjutant General, for the purpose of organizing to take under consideration — "1. Medical restoration of these men to their highest physical capac ity under injury. "2. Their educational training for their best possible occupational re lation to industry. "3.

Russia eventually will become virtually a German prov ince and her people would lose the liberties for which their ances tors struggled fof generations. "My government still considers America an ally of the Russian peo ple who surely will not reject the proffered assistance we would be prompt to render to any government in Russia that will offer a sincere and organized resistance to the Ger man Invasion. "If the Russian people will be brave and patriotic, will lay aside temporarily their political differences and be resolute, firm and united, they would be able to drive the en emy from the borders and procure, therefore, at the end of 1918 an enduring peace for themselves and the world." Marked Change Toward Ross by United Allies Seen by Correspondent By Associated Press Moscow, March 19 (delayed).— There has been a marked change in the attitude of the Entente Allies to ward the Soviet government. The Entente missions no longer are rush ing away from Russia. The English, French, Americans, Italians and Ser bians now have military missions in Moscow and they are taking quarters as they expect to remain. There are many signs of renewed co-operation between' Russia and the allies. Leon Troszky's reply to the en tente inquiries concerning reports that the Bolsheviki had armed thou sands of German and Austrian war prisoners in Siberia, who are said now to threaten the Trans-Siberian Railway, was: "Send officers and Investigate, I will give you a train." The offer was accepted and to night Captain William R. Webster, of the American Red Cross, and Cap tain W. L. Hicks, of the British mili tary mission, left for Irkutsk, Tohi ta and other points where the Ger mans are reported to be provided with rifles, field pieces and ammuni tion. The Bolsheviki papers charge that the reports of the menace of armed German and Austrian prisoners in Siberia is part of the German propa ganda to discredit the Soviet govern ment and encourage Japanese inter vention. M. Trotzky also has asked the American military mission for ten American officers to assist him as in spectors in organizing and training a new volunteer army and has re quested the services of American railway engineers and transporta tion experts to assist in the reor ganization of the railways. He also has asked for American railway equipment in the way of locomo tives and Cars. The announcement that the Unit ed States is sending a mission to Investigate the reports of the arm ing of prisoners is hailed- with en thusiasm by the government organs. Officers Flock to the Bolshevik Staff as War Spirit Grows By Associated Press MoocoW, Tuesday,.March 13.—The 1 uneasiness caused by the seizure of Odessa and the gaining by the Cen tral Powers of control of the Black Sea has intensified the panic in North Russia and has strengthened the now ?t? ne £. a ' belief that in a short time the Germans will advance on Mos cow and Petrograd. The Trans-Sau- i C ? ™'l.. constituent assembly, meeting at Uflis, has refused to ratify the peace treaty.' The German explanation that they are . , n ,°®- fighting Rusia when they assist independent Ukrainia to defeat ; Bolshevik forces, is hooted by the Russian press generally, which con te"?s that Germany's peace treaty with Ukrainia is only a flimsy pre text to dismember Russia. Leon Trotzky hns arrived in Mos°- cpw iroiu Petrograd and announces lie will remain here to assume the duties of minister or war if there is a war, but otherwise he will decline the post. The commander of the Mos- . cow defenses to-day reviewed four regiments of volunteers who declar ed unequivocally for war. Many ex 01 IOCS STORE OPENS 8:30 A. M.—CLOSES 5:30 P. M.
