For Men
Camp Meade, Md.. May 3.—Letters
appealing for support of the Third
Liberty Loan which were sent out
by the soliders here are bearing
fruit, judging from the tone ot re
lilies received. Every mail brings
hundreds of letters from various
points in the United States, but prin
cipally from Maryland and Pennsyl
vania. and in almost every instance
the sender has promised to buy more
bonds.
Private B. E. Friend. Company E,
Three Hundred and Fourth Field
Signal Battalion, has received an in
spiring letter* from Gene W. Hol
brook, who is in the hardware busi
ness at 219 Main street, Charles City,
la. The communication, which is a
sample of the thousands received
here, reads:
"Ves, my boy, I am with you to the
finish. T have bought to date $1,500
worth of War Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds, SSOO of which was for
the third series. And I will buy all
I can. and more, too, every time they
have a new issue. I am only a com
mon hardwureman, and it makes me
grunt to make both ends meet in a
business way now.
"I am 48 years lild. but I have
lots of tight in me yet, and if the
time comes that they need the old
bucks, you will find this old boy as
eager to do his bit as it is possible
for anyone to be. I appreciate your
letter and the spirit in which it was
written, and I want to say to you
that in this old United States there
are a lot of fighters left behind, and
we will see to it that they do dig up
the money for you fellows just as
fast, and a little faster, than you
need it. I don't know that I can
say any more at this time to make
my case any stronger. You spread
the news to the boys
going to be with you to the finish,
and I know that the other'states will
do equally as well. With best wishes
and God bless you."
The letter was signed "Your Part
ner Over Here."
The men here have purchased to
date approximately $700,000 worth of
Liberty Bonds of the third issue, ac
cording to an announcement by Cap
tain Sidney Herkness, who is in
charge of the campaign. The* total
cash sales to soldiers amounts to
$319,000 and the secretaries for the
Young Men's Christian Association j
purchased bonds to the extent of
$202,230, for which they paid cash. !
Bonds were purchased by soldiers on ,
the partial payment plan to the ex- 1
tent of $151,050.

Rummage For Nursery
Home to Bring in Articles
Needed at Institution
i Collection of waste for the Nur
-1 sery Home will begin in the near
, future, it was announced to-day by
i officials in charge of the collection.
I Thrift bags were recently distributed
j throughout the city, the purpose be
. ing to have people place their waste
• in the bags. This waste will be sold
' and the proceeds used for the sup
-1 port of the Nursery Home.
The Nursery Home, at 1321 South
' Cameron street, is a school for chil
' dren below the age of fourteen
I years. The waste saved by Harris
i burg housewives will be sold at a
■ high figure, officials say, and it is es
" timated that many children can be
i supported with the money realized,
i Commenting upon the campaign
■ for saving waste, a worker said to
day:
i "No better movement than the
i waste saving campaign could have
been launched to enlist all who are
i interested in united efforts for the
common welfare. By this method
! people come to realize what can be
i accomplished by intelligent war on
waste.
"At the present time the country
i is suffering from an unprecedented
shortage of manufacturing ma
terials. There is also an alarming
falling off in contributions to char
! ity at a time when charity demands
j have greatly increased. The thrift
campaign accomplishes a two-fold
| purpose in relieving both these con
, ditions."

Foch's Appointment
Spur For New Tales
of French General
I.oiiilnn.—The appointment of Gen
| eral Koch as generalissimo of the Al
j lied forces has brought out a new
| crop of stories about him. Some of
j the best are related by M. Meunier
i Surcouf, Deputy from Saint-Brieuc,
. Who served for twenty months on
i Koch's staff at the beginning of the
| war.
"October 30. 1914." says M. Meun-
I ier-Surcouf, "General Foch learned
i that the Knglish cavalry had been
| attacked by superior forces and had
I had to give considerable ground to
i the south of Ypres. The two points
| of support were lost, the line had
! been broken and the flank of Gen-
I eral Dubois was in danger. General
i Foch hurried to ,St. Omer, arriving
I at 1 o'clock in the morning.
I "Marshal French was awakened.
| " 'Marshal, your line is broken.'
j said General Foch.
I " "Yes, the-marshal replied.
" 'Have you any reserves?'
"'J have nothing.'
i!ves Own Itenerve* to IlrUlsli
, " 'All right,' said General Koch, 'I
' will give you mine. We must stop
| the hole at once. If the line is!
pierced at one point we will be lost,
because of the overwhelming num
bers of the enemy. I have eight bat
talions of the Thirty-second Division
that General .loffre has sent me.
Tame them and—Forward!'
"Marshal French was greatly
moved. He shook hands warmly
with General Foch, saying, 'lt is a
fine t'hing you have done for me.' At
2 o'clock the orders were given, the
gap was stopped and we were ad
vancing.
"Another time! It was to the
north of Ypres and the English had
been forced back. A division of the
First Corps was almost annihilated.
In vain Sir Douglas Halg charged at
. the head of a brigade of the Guard.
His staff was killed and his triops
were shot to pieces. He was obligfed
'to.give way.
"General Foch hurried again to
Marshal French, whom he found at
Ylamerthingue November 1. General
Foch begged Marshal French to for
bid the retreat. Marshal re
fused. He could do no more, he
said; his troops were worn out.
Saves llrilish Aenln
"Foch argued. He showed the
danger, the incalculable conse
| quences of losing the battle. 'You
! must hold!' he. cried. 'Fight to the
death! You must never retreat In
full battle. The rout would, be
frightful. To-day it would be a ca
tastrophe. Hold. I will come to
yotir aid.'
"While speaking he wrote on a
scrap of paper lie picked up from
the table his idea of what should be
done and passed it to the marshal.
The British general took the paper,
wrote on it, 'Execute the order of
General Foch,' signed it and gave it
to one of his officers.
"As soon as the orders were is
sued the English stopped their re
i treat and counterattacked. ,We sup
i ported them'. The Germans were
| stopped. They are still stopped."
Another of the anecdotes of M.
Meunier-Surcouf relates to General
Foch's method of choosing the mem
bers of his staff. It seems that at
the beginning of the war the colonel
of an infantry regiment called for a
| sergeant to voluhteer "for an ex
tremely perilous mission." Several
sergeants stepped from the ranks
and the colonel, picking one, said.
"Report for duty on the stuff of Gen
eral Foch."

Camp Meade Soldier
Home Via SSOO Bonds
rnnt| >lcnlr. May 3. —Gus Cantor,
a private in the Three Hundred and
Fourteenth Infantry, but a business
man of Mount Carmel, Pa., as well,
hit upon a novel scheme of obtain
ing a. leave o*f absence from camp.
It is buying a *IOO Liberty Bond for
every day wanted. Cantor wanted a
few days' leave of absence to at
tend to some personal business In
Mount Carmel, so he suggested to a
Liberty Bond salesman that he would
buy a SIOO Liberty Bond for every
day he would aid him in getting
away from camp. The salesman had
a tall* with Cantor's company com
mander and succeeded in getting the
soldier a pass for five days. Cantor
pulled out a checkbook and wrote a
check for SSOO, and he is now at
tending to his business affairs.
