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."

ate communication with Surgeon-
General Gorgas at Washington, of
fering full co-operation in the na
tional plan of reconstruction of war
wounded and giving assurance that
Pennsylvania as a state will give ev
ery facility to rehabilitate its citi
zens disabled in war.
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. Their placement through the
employment agencies of the common
wealth in those industries where
they would do the largest good and
receive the best rewards.
"It may be of interest to you to
know that S. S. Riddle, of the De
partment of Labor and Industry, has
already made state-wide inquiry con
cerning thte, is conversant with many
aspects of the situation and has been
in touch with the Federal Govern
ment I respectfully suggest that
yovr ask him to be present at the
meeting and act as secretary.
"Trusting that you will all accept
this service with alacrity and per
foon this duty, associating with you
such counsellors as you may deem
wise, I am..

pie eventually would become sub
jects of Germany. 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

the post. The commander of the Mos- .

Sixty-mile routes are covered in a day by each of the

"The trucks are kept constantly on the go, usually doing

Reports from Northern Russia say
the Corelia district, in which Kola,
the only ice-free port on the Arctic
shore, is located has asked Finland
to annex it. This is regarded as part
of the German plan to help the Fin
