CITY TO SHOW
ITS PATRIOTISM
WITH MUSIC
Ninety Per Cent, of Harris- \
burg's Clergy to Take Part
in Ceremonial '
WANTED: INVENTOR
Wanted: an inventor:
The committee in charge of the j
"parade of flags" which is to be j
staged in Harrisburg Sunday aft
ernoon seeks a way out of a se- J
rious difficulty.
Because of * the tremendous j
crowd which will throng Market j
Square and of the fact that the or- !
dinary or extraordinary public
speaker would be unable to reach
half-way through the crowd with
his voice, it is desired that some
inventor tell the committee in
charge how to "fix things" so an
i orator may bo heard to the last
I line of people.
An inventor who has this In
• formation should get in touch.
, i with Henderson Gilbert.
The big mass meeting in Market
Square following thS "parade of
flags - ' Sunday will be a songfest. It
is not possible to have speeches or
an oration, said Henderson Gilbert
this morning, because there is no way
in which the huge crowd can be
reached by a human voice.
Prof. Phillips, leader of Grace
Methodist choir, is to be in charge
of the singing Sunday afternoon.
Prof. Phillips will not use an ordi
nary baton in leading the thousands
of voices. His baton will be an
American flag.—
The Commonwealth and Municipal
Bands to-day volunteered their serv
ices for the parade and the songfest
in the Square. Both bands will help
in the music at the square.
The Rev. George Edward Hawes,
pastor of Market Square Presbyte
rian Church, will deliver the prayer.
As already told in the city papers,
the parade will form In State street,
where all carriers of service flags
should be ready to form in line not
later than 4.15. The parage .will
move at 4.30 over the route already
published. Only one person will be
allowed to appear with each service
flag.
Reports this morning showed that
ninety per cent, of the city clergy
men will be itf the division which
will lead the parade.

the industrial committee workers to
day, but the last of these will have
been received by to-nyirrow night.
Chairman George S. Reinoehl of
the committee on industrials has sent
a letter to every member of that
committee in which he urges the im
portance of immediate and com
plete returns. The papers of the
city this week published the names
of those plants and their employes
which had made purchases in the
period ending Monday at noon. On
Saturday or Monday a complete list
of such plants will be published,
showing the amount of bonds pur- ,
chased in all the stores, shops, mills,
factories and railroad operations.
Al K. Thomas this morning noti
fied headquarters in the Dauphin!
building that the East End Bank, on
the Hill, is in the 100 per cent, class, 11
every employe of the concern having
bought a bond.
Xewvlllc Repeats
The newspapers have told that the
South ward of Xewville, Cumberland
county, reached 100 per cent, per-1'
fection. To-day came the word that j
the North ward of the borough has
done the same thing, so that two
honor flags will float over the town.
Canadians Have I.cft
After three strenuous days in the i
Harrisburg district in which they
worked every minute of the time .n
their efforts to increase the sales!
of Liberty Bonds, the members of
the Canadian expeditionary forces
have gone to other fields. They at- |
traded much attention in the dis
trict and made a great impression
wherever they spoke. Lieutenant
McCallum and Sergeant-Major Dick
son went to Lebanon to-day, Lieuten
ants Reinville and Hersey to Lewis- |
town and* Private Vidler to Lock
Haven.
"These young men performed nob- |
ly and accomplished a great work
in the Harrisburg district," said Don
ald McCormick to-day. I
Told Souter's Why-
Private Vidler Baid last night that
one of the most interesting audi
ences he had ever talked before was
that in Souter's store In Market street ,
at 5.30 yesterday afternoon. As a 1
result of the meeting the bond sales I
in Souter's were very numerous this
morning.
Halifax Wants Flag
The bond sellers in say. |
that town will be entitled to an honor
flag before they are through with
their efforts. A meeting was held last
flight at which Lieutenant Reinville
and E. B. Barker, of this city, were
the speakers.
Stctiton Gets Busy
Steelton is to have a big Liberty
Loan meeting Friday night. The
speakers are to be Major Maurice
Connolly of the United States air ser
vice. second in command of one of
the*largest flying schools in the coun
try. He is a former United States
congressman frony lowa and was.re
leased from camp for the period of
the loan campaign. The other out
of-town speaker will be Sergeant J.
A. Young, aij American who enlisted
in the Canadian Overseas force in
1914 and spent thirty-eight months
with a Canadian battery in Belgium.
He has been on this side for only a
month. He was wounded several
times, and gassed, on the Belgian
line.
Dauphin Doing Well
The Dauphin district will very
likely get an honor flag if the efforts
of George Dennison and his workers
meet with a response equal to the
efforts they are making. Mr. Denni
son is not only selling bonds, but has
bought several thousand dollars
worth himself.
Reports from the Pennsylvania
railroad Liberty Bond committee to
day show a total of 2,887 subscrib
ers and $162,400 in subscriptions. Of
this amount Cumberland county em
ployes contributed $24,700; Dauphin
county, $113,800, and Perry county,
$4,350.
At noop to-day the Pennsylvania
railroad shops had passed $151,000,
in subscriptions. There is a spirited
competition between the shopmen
and trainmen. Committeemen work
day and night and report daily at
noon, and 8 p. nl.
The big parade at Columbia to
night will include at least 200 llar
rlsburgers. Paul L. Barclay, cap
tain of police of the Philadelphia di
vision, to-day assigned Lieutenant E.
J. Cranford and a squad of officers
to head the Harrisburg division
which will be given the right of line
in to-night's parade.
llill Employes Buy
Liberty Bond selling on the "Hill"
has been under the direction of Fla
vel Wright, who this morning de
clared the response there very en
couraging. In the State Workmen's
Insurance Fund, Albert L. Allen tap
tain, incomplete returns show sixty
five subscriptions among seventy
eight employes, three subscriptions
partially conjpleted, four employes
i financially unable to buy and eix
■■%lnyea "holding over," OiUk
employe refused to subscribe without
an apparent reason and his case will
be investigated by the Public Safety
Committee.
In the Department of Labor and
Industry, L. A. Irwin captain, there
are 142 bond buyers, with a total of
$10,900. It looks-like this depart
ment will be in the hundred per cent,
class.
