14 SOLDIERS STRONG FOR LIBERTY LOAN Harrisburger in Camp Pre sents Letter of Appeal to Rotary President Do you think the boys in camp are not interested in the liberty Bond issue now being subscribed? If you have any doubt on the sub ject read this letter which Captain George F. Lumb, of the Harrisburg Rotary Club, presented at a Liberty Loan meeting in Marysville last night; it is self explanatory: Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. April 1, 1918. Dear Captain Lumb: It is now 12.30 p. m. and have a battalion parade before us this af ternoon. This forenoon we noncoms of the first and second platoon were down on the pistol range trying out our marksmanship with the Colt 45 automatic. I hit the target eight times out of ten, but made only one • bull eye. The main object of this letter is to carry out an order of the command- j ing officer (Colonel Gerheart) who has requested all enlisted men of the regiment to write to some influential friend of theirs and ask them to use their influence to have ten of their friends purchase Liberty Bonds of the third loan which starts the sixth instant. Our part of furthering the sale of the bonds will be in the form of a military parade through New port News on Saturday (6th). The money from the sale of this Liberty Loan is to be used for sup plying us soldiers with food, clothing and equipment ad our very existence depends on the success and final outcome of it so you see why I nm requesting you to use your influence in helping it along. I have the ut most confidence in your ability to be able to influence ten or even more persons to buy a Liberty Bond. T picked you as I consider you my most influential friend, also my best friend and hope you make out O. K. Please let me know nteh result of your efforts so I can report to my platoon commander. We are having tine weather here. Yesterday being Easter was a fine day and although I have spent other Easters with better circumstances T enjoyed myself more than I had really expected to. Your Fncle Sam uel opened up his heart, also his pocket book and gave us eggs (boil ed) for breakfast and chicken for dinner and it made us all feel that the Army ie not such a bad place after all. Hoping this finds you O. K. I am, Sincerely, JAS. L. KLING. Corp. Co. A. Fourth U. S. Inf. P. S.: Give my compliments to the club. Kling's home address is R. D. 2. Newport, Perry county. Senate Decides Disloyal U. S. Employes Must Go By Associated Press Washington. April 10.—A motion to table an amendment proposed by Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, providing for the discharge of gov ernment appointive officers for vio lation of the provisions of the pend ing sedition bill, was lost 27 to 26, when the Senate resumed debate on the issue to-day. Senator Overman, of North Carolina, accused the Penn sylvania Senator of "having some of ficial in mind" in introducing it. Senator Penrose replied he "had sev eral men in mind." Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, said amendment was designed for the re moval from office of one man. If a i person were guilty of making dis- ] loyal utterances, he should be remov- j cd, he said, regardless of whether; , the bill Is passed. Senator Nelson ,of Minnesota, said he understood the proposed amend ment was to apply to cases like that of George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information. After a brief debate the Senate adopted a substitute for the amend ment by Senator Jones, of New Mex ico, providing that any employe or official in the executive branch of the government who commits any disloyal act or utters any unpatriotic or disloyal language, or criticises the Army or Navy or the flag, shall at once be dismissed from the service. O'Connor Cables Protest to Conscription Proposal By Associated Press San Francisco. April, 10.—Appli cation in Ireland of military con scription would be an "insane blun der" according to a cablegram s?n. to John Dillon, leader of the Irish party in parliament by T. P. O'Con nor, Irish publicist and member of parliament, who is here to-day on a speaking tour. Mr. O'Connor sent the cablegram he said, when he learned of Premier Lloyd George's proposal to extend conscription to Ireland. The cable gram follows: "I must at once record a solemn warning that conscription in Ireland will paarlyze its friends and en courage its bitterest enemies in this country." "This insane blunder again would lendler futile the best efforts of Irish leaders everywhere." Men Who Face Teutons Eagerly Await U. S.

Down in Florida he "hooked up" with a German named Henry Sear dorff. who "frisked" him of $250 while he peacefully slept in the city of Miami. Suspicious of Germans "This made me suspicious of Her mans," he related and I made up my mind 1 would look out for that breed wherever I went." Penniless from the German touch, Harry Glass reached Fort dale on the cast coast of Florida where friends picked him up and shipped him to Savannah. There, government officials, noting his pa triotic zeal, sent him to Baltimore and thence to Philadelphia. ' Want to hear about his adventure with German torpedoes? Well, here it is. "it seems a strange occurrence," said he, with a hand to his wounded head. "But the experience of be ing torpedoed cannot bo described. This is God's truth. 1 was having tiffin, or lunch with the chief steward. I shipped as second stew ard and we were talking in the gal ley at 12.25. On Monday, March 18 IHFt I had shipped from Philadel phia on an oil tanker, loaded with barreled oil. It was a heavenly day, March 18, bright sun and they told us we were off the coast of Scotland," said Glass, who seems to be some what dazed with his terrific experi ence. "I wish X coud tell you just what happened. It's terrible, horri ble." I " 'Well, Harry,' said the chief j steward, 'you'd better go up and get | down some vegetables for to-mor | row's dinner.' Just then went a bang. Oh. something terrible! The I most horrible feeling came over me !and I jumped. See! I jumped. Mind you, It was just 12.25, noon, with the j sun shining and everything lovely. ; The explosion was terrific. I leaped ■ out of the galley from the steward j and just as 1 got amidships the bunker hatch covering flew up and i hit me—here you see where."

I "I tried to make the lifeboat which had been launched. It was about twelve feet from the hurri cane deck which was now nearly j level with the sea.

I "He's here," said the, chief stew jard. "but more dead than alive." | Then he asked us what the cargo was and demanded the mate. He took him on board the submarine and kept him prisoner, but let the rest of us go. Fun For the Crew "They're scared blue," the German captain said In his perfect English, and all his crew laughed. This cap tain had a brown, well-kept mustache and a little goatee. He treated us pretty good in a way, for we asked him which way we should sail the lifeboat and he gave us di rections. "Point south," he said in his perfect English, "and you ought to strike some British trawlers." "This we did,and a Scottish fishing trawler picked us up and landed us near Bridge End on the coast of the Irish sea. Will you please men tion the Scotch. Man, they are the best people God ever made. Amer ica as a nation should take off their hats to the Scotch. God bless 'em, I say." Harry Glass reached Harrisburg yesterday. He has always been of an adventurous turn. But this ex perience seems to have overwhelmed him. The tragedv of the explosion, the breaking of the vessel In twelve minutes, the submersion and final rescue have so stirred his soul and mind that he can hnrdly collect him self.

The meeting was in charge of Senator Scott Leiby. Cap tain Lumb read a letter written to him by a Perry county soldier named Kllng, in which Lumb was asked personally to sell ten Liberty bonds. Senator Leiby asked the audience what it was going to do about Kling's letter. "We're going to buy bonds!" shouted a man in the audience. And in the next few minutes six teen bond sales totaled $3,300. 11. E. Linderman explained bond selling methods to the workers after the meeting.
