10 URGE YANKEES' AT HOME TO BACK MEN AT FRONT French and Canadians From Battle Lines Address Big Bally The duty of all Americans to pur chase Thrift Stamps as well as any other government security which will aid in the successful prosecution of the war was emphasized by Chap lain Sauvage, of the French Army, and Major Hedges, of the British Army, at the mass meeting which opened the War Savings Stamps Pledge Campaign in this city at the Chestnut Street Auditorium Satur day night. "You ought not to wait for the canvassers. Hunt them up and buy all you can afford, and then buy some more," declared Major Hedges, veteran of a dozen campaigns and hero of the Canadian Army. "You must back up your boys at home with money for supplies," de clared Chaplain Sauvage. "Remem ber, any shortage of guns on the front will be made up for by human breasts and American blood." Proceeding, Chaplain Sauvage showed the spirit of the French when he declared that of the 35,- 000,000 population of France, 7,500,- 000 have been mobilized in the army. Not one family in France, he declared, has gone through the war without the loss of a relative. He told of the splendid spirit among the noncombatants of France and Bel gium, citing it as the sort of spirit which is needed at home to encour age the men at the front. With a glowing tribute to the manly quality of the Americans in France, Chaplain Sauvage declared: "With America's help we can win, we must win, and we will win." Major Hedge, a blunt soldier di rect from the front, did not gloss his remarks. "Wait until your casualty lists fill every column of the page in the newspaper, and you turn the page and find column after column of more casualty lists, you wont want to talk about the war. You'll rush in and do your part to end the reign of terror over there." The speaker also paid a high tribute to the courage of the Ameri cans in Prance. He declared that from the time the word arrived that America had entered the war, the hopes of the Allies centered on this country. H. XI. Stevens, an attorney from Philadelphia and a prominent War Paving Stamp campaigner, then ex plained some of the details of the campaign to be waged here this week. He declared that a Thrift ftamp a day will raise the national quota before the end of the year, and urged every one to do his part in pledging the purchase of as many stamps as he could afford. French Army Chaplain Will Address Knights on "Over There" Conditions delegates in Harrisburg for the big Knights of Columbus convention this evening will have the opportunity of hearing the Rev. Dr. Sauvage, a Trench arsmy chaplain, at 5.15 o'clock in Cathedral Hall. Members of other denominations have been cordially invited to attend this meet ing. Conditions as they really exist "over there," with the work being done by the Knights of Columbus along the battle front, will be the theme of Dr. Sauvage's discussion. While he will show that the work of the Knights of Columbus on the foreign field has been most excellent, he will urge the continuance and even the increasing of funds for the pur pose of carry on their work.

SCRANTON MEN PRAISE SPROUL Declare He Was at All Times Favorable to Enactment of Mine Cave Legislation Scran ton. Pa., May 13.—Members of the Scranton Surface Protective Association, although taking no stand in the tight for the Republican nomination for governor between Senator William C. Sproul and High way Commissioner J. Denny O'Xeil in a general discussion of the mine ca\ o question said it was only fair to Mr. Sproul to acquaint the public with the fact that he at all times during the last session expressed himself to committees from the as sociation as favorable to cave legis lation and even advised what to 30 to secure such a measure as the Scarlet bill. The matter was brought up by Fresident John F. Durkan, a Demo crat, who referred to the fact that at the West Scranton meeting of the O'Neil campaign party Saturday night one of the speakers. Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown, de clared that the Scarlet bill which had the united backing of the asso ciation, was killed in the senate com mittee on corporations. Sproul Was Tlicir Friend "It is only fair to Mr! Sproul to say that Senator Crow and not Sen ator Sproul, was chairman of the committee on corporations," and it appears to me to be rank injustice for anyone to make a statement of that kind. It is not true as mem bers of our committee who went to Harrisburg know. "The one fellow who treated us well while we were in Harrisburg was Mr. Sproul." continued Mr. Dur kan. "He took us into his office, talked the whole matter over with us and told us what to do. It was he who suggested that the associa tion get into politics and told us to call on the legislators from the nine roal producing counties and place the question up to them. He told ut to get those men to stand back of the bill. It is not fair, I say, to Mr. Sproul, to charge him, with kill ing the Scarlet bill. As a matter of fact he pledged himself to vote for the measure if it came to a vote on the floor of the senate. At ore of the committee meetings he be seeched Mr. Crow to release the bill from committee. Alderman Dominick Gibbons, a Democrat, who was a mtmber of the association committee that spent several months in Harrisburg en deavoring to have the bill passed, also refuted the accusation of the O'Xeil campaigners that Senator Sproul had a hand in killing the Scarlet measure. Outside of prom ising to sign the bill if it came be fore him Brumbaugh didn't do a thing to help us. w hen our com mittee went to Senator Sproul he told us what to do and furthermore told us we could use his name in say ing that the legislators from the nine coal counties should get together and demand that the bill be passed. John T. Davis also spoke of the work Senator Sproul performed in behalf of the mine cave bill. He was the only man down there, with the exception of Senator Snyder, who really did anything real for us," Mr. Davis said. "This statement, he added, he made in justice to Mr. Sproul, and to refute the arguments that Mr. Sproul was not in favor of mine cave legislation. In the discussion that followed the rer.jarks of Attorney General Brown to the effect thmt yje police power can be used in solving the question, Merediths Jones said it bore out the stand of the association. "Then if the police power can be invoked, as Mr. Brown said it can," Mr. Gibbons asked, "and as Mr. O'Neil promises he will do, what is to prevent Governor Brumbaugh from using it now. We don't have to wait.. If the police power is any good and can be used why doesn't the Governor use it?" War Heroes Honored by New Destroyers Wn*hitieun, May 13.

There are some branches in which women have not been tried. Tests are being ma<ie and. if it is found they will make good, then we can go ahead and re organize the various departments.

Crew Cuts Consumption of Coal in Half in the Trip to Mountain City Roy. page, Administrator Garfield! A Pennsylvania railroad passenger] crew yesterday cut in half the coal) consumption on a round trip between) Harrisburg and Altoona. Approxi mately two and three-quarter tons cf coal were used on the two trips yes terday by this crew, including Graf fius Drake, 1900 North Third street, engineer, and P. L. ■ Smith. North Fourth street, fireman. On train No. 13, scheduled to leave Harrisburg at 12.40 p. m., made up yesterday of six steel cars, 213 shov els of coal averaging seventeen pounds were used. On the return trip on train No. 18, made up of four steel and two wooden cars, 115 shovels were used, or a total of 338 shovels, or exactly 5,576 pounds of bituminous coal were used on the round trip journey of 264 miles. The average consumption -of ooal on a trip between Harrisburg find Altoona is between 300 and 400 shovels, so railroad officials believe this record made yesterday will stand as one for others crews to shoot at for some time. Railroad Notes James K. Linn, of Philadelphia, will head a delegation from that city, coming to Harrisburg for the! big Friendship Club meeting. Construction forces of the Penn sylvania Railroad were busy yester day connecting the main line with the Ordnance Depot yards near Middletowh.

Returns received to-day show that 201,350 employes have sub scribed for a total of $12,061,900 of the bonds. As there are 249,795 em ployes in the entire Pennsylvania system, including all lines both east and west of Pittsburgh, more than eighty per cent, have subscribed. Besides native-born Americans, over thirty different nationalities are represented among the purchasers. In the Second Liberty Loan, the subscriptions among the employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad system totaled 118,941 and the amount taken was $8,550,440. I<arge num bers who have just subscribed to the Third Loan are still payint; in stalments on the Second, but show ed their patriotism by incurring the additional obligation, which in many cases involved genuine sacrifices. President Samuel Rea to-day is sued the following congratulatory message to all persons employed on Pennsylvania Railroad system: "The sylendid response of the of ficers and Employes of the Pennsyl [ vania Railroad system to the needs ,of their country as shown by their subscriptions to the Third Liberty Loan, more than fulfilled our most hopeful expectations. Returns re ceived to-day show that for the whole system we have passed the $12,000,000 mark. Altogether 201,- 350 persons, or more than eighty per cent, of the 249,795 employe**, have subscribed, and their total sub scriptions aggregate $12,061,900. "I offer my most sincere congrat ulations to ail who have participated in bringing about this noteworthy and creditable result, and thank ev ery one who has bought a bond or has induced another to do so. Es pecially do I commend forces who have voluntarily worked many hours overtime, some of them day and night In this notable effort which has contributed so greatly to the cause of American patriotism." Altoona Shopman Dies; Had Civil War Record Carson W. Clifford, a veteran of the Civil War and a retired employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, died in the Altoona hospital, following a stroke of paralysis. He was aged 72 years. He was well known in Harrisburg. Mr. Clifford served three years and nine months in the Civil War. He enlisted in Company F, One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Pennsyl vania Volunteers, on August 14, 1862, serving with Westmoreland, Indiana and Jefferson county loy*. He was mustered out Nove.-.ibar 24, 1 863, and re-enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Eighty-sixth In fantry, on January 29, 1861, and given • an honorable discharge on August 15, 1865. He was retired from the s>jrvi?c of the Pennsy upon reaching the age of 70 jears on December 1, 1915, and served As a laborer in the bolli shop as a mechanic In No. 2 erecting shop of the machine shop depart ment at Altoona. Mr. Clifford was born on Novem ber 7, 1845, in Ligonier. Westmore land county, the son of James and Matilda Clifford. He spent his early life at Lickport and later went to the Army. He came to Altoona In 1884 and served with 'the Pennsy. Newport Is Happy Over Ordnance Depot Prospect Newport, Pa.. May 13. Newport residents are jubilant over the an nouncement that In all probability this town and surrounding section will secure the location of a string of ordnance depots, one of the larg est in the United States, to cost ap proximately $13,000,000. No inspec tion of the proposed site has yet been made by government officials, but Newport's chances for the new depot appear excellent, taking as bases for the Judgment statements made by officials high in the United States service. Following the announcement that a depot would be located In the Juniata Valley, Newport businessmen at once got busy. A Chamber of Commerce was formed and a delegation of three Newport ment was sent to Washing ton to present Nwport's claim to gov ernment officials.

Chairman W. ,D. B. Ainey, of the Public Service Com mission, remarks that utility com panies may use business discretion in regard to deposits. The commis sion, he says, has never held that a utility company "may not make a rule with respect to deposits dis tinguished between thdse who are financially responsible and those who are not." He remarks that a number of companies have such a differentiating rule. The opiniqn holds that the com pany should not be required, es specially at the present, to furnish all day service on Sundays. It operates in a small community and should furnish service at the hours needed on Sunday and twenty-four hour service the rest of the week. It also directs elimination of a rule by which the company "proposes to re lieve itself of liability for damages to persons or property arising or re sulting from the use of current for either light or power." In another part the opinion requires that the company must not enforce rules against persons who enter com plaints and allow others who may be delinquent, but who have com plained to escape. "Public confi dence and favor are important as sets," it says. Intimation is given that a general order may be made in regard to the interest rate on deposits made \vlth companies, as there is no uniformity of practice, and the matter has been much discussed. The opinion closes by stating that the law does not give the commission power to interfere with discretion in regard to dis counts. CITY TO WELCOME THE BLUE DEVILS [Continued from l-'lrst Page.] hold them back so that they can be greeted in a proper manner. JCot un til some time this afternoon, there fore, will the exact hour be known. But when they do arrive the city will tear loose in honor of the vet erans of Verdun. Whistles will be blown on all the mills and factories. A large crowd will be at the station. If Governor Brumbaugh is in the city he will probably be in the receiving line, and Mayor Keister at least will be on hand. In Harrisburg the "Blue Devils" will be quartered at the Civic Club, in Front street, the entire building being placed at the disposal of the men, every one of whom has won at least one decoration on the field of battle. Captain Stine and William Jen nings are making arrangements for their reception. A guard of honor is to be furnished, consisting of the local company of the Reserve Mili tia, while the Spanish-American War Veterans and the Foreign Service Veterans and members of the local posts of the Grand Army and other Grand Army men residing here will also appear in the pa rade from the station through the principal streets to the Civic Club. There will be a band, of course. At night all of the "Blue Devils" will be found in the auditorium, where their officers will be among the speakers. These officers are: Lieutenant Albert LeMoal, Second Chausseurs, who is in command of jthe unit; Lieutenant J. Cavel, of the 43d Colonial Regiment; Lieutenant R. Cruzeau, of the 4th Zouaves, and Lieutenant Marcel Levie, of the chausseurs Alpines. Concerning the appearance of the "Blue Devils" in Philadelphia yes terday the Inquirer said this morn ing: "They came unexpectedly, almost direct from the battlefront of France, bringing with them undiminished and unchanged the dauntless spirit that won for them in the savagery of battle the name that tells in two words of the part they have played in the great game. "Picturesquely uniformed in hori zon blue, their legs wrapped in gray puttees, a mountain of field equip ment strapped to their strong, broad, muscular backs, their Alpine hats cocked jauntily to one side and with bouquets of roses, carnations and violets sticking in the muzzles of their long rifles, a hun()red of them detrained last night at 6.15 o'clock in the Broad street station from an Atlantic City train." Exactly what the "Blue Devils.' officially the Chausseurs Alpines really are, was explained by Lieuten ant LeMoal. First they are the storm troops of France. They are the picked men drawn from the first regiments of the French Army. They are selected from among the bravest of the brave. To be drawn lor service with the Chausseurs Alpines indioates to all France that the man has proved himself not only a fearless fighter, but one who thinks while he tights. It has been the selection of men of such exceptional lighting qualities and their mobilization into a single battalion which has led to their be coming the most efficient troops on the battlefront. With their special drills, their months of (raining, their rigorously enforced habits of moder ation, they become the pick corps of the allied armies. They were organized to meet a need. Germany early demonstrated that she had her picked corps of "shock troops," and to meet them France developed her Chausseurs Alpines. To-day they are the "shock troops" of France. Jn service they are held back for the hour when the desperate storming charge is to be made. They they are massed and sent smashing against the German posi tions. Sometimes they are sent to smash the German "shock troops" and then a gladiatorial contests re sults in which the Chausseurs Al pines have proved themselves the masters of their German foemen so often that they won for themselves the name by which they are known throughout the world, the "Blue Devils" of France.

"The Forbidden Path." It is said to be another super production, but differs from "Du Barry" and "Cleopatra," in " that it is not a cos tume play. Miss Bara takes the part of Mary Lynde, who first sees a glimmer of hope come into her bedraggled lite when an artist asks her to pose as model for a painting of the Madonna. At his studio she meets Robert Sin clair, a wealthy man about town, who immediately sees a new field of con quest in the pretty girl. Mary goes out with Sinclair. It is the story of so many working girls. He promises to marry her. But he does not. She seeks refuge among the very dregs of the populace. There the artist finds her once more. Again he asks her to pose for him. this time for a portrait to he entitled "Sin." She meets again the man who had caused her downfall. Sinclair is about to be married. Mary threatened blackmail, and he pays her money. Then Mary tells the whole story to Barbara, and the be trothed, sympathetic, plans with her to get revenge on Sinclair. The denouement gives Miss Bara some of the finest opportunities for acting. Darwin was light, all right. But he never graded the degrees of de- scent. Edgar Rice Bur "Tnr*un of roughs made some at the A pea" tempt at grading in his "Tarzan of the Aprs," which is now in motion pic ture form at the Orpheum Theater, opening this afternoon and holding the boards the entire week with two performances daily. He runs the gamut this way drunken sail ors, brutal ship officers, slave traders and finally aristocrats. The apes really rank highest. Even the boy brought up by the apes ranks head and shoulders above his aristocrat relative. There are no class lines, no national lines, no mutual exploitation among our ancestors. "Tarzan of the Apes" is said to be bully adventure. Wild beasts roam through the scenes; a kindly elephant takes the wild man upon his back; in short, mix Stevenson's "Treasure Is land" with Captain Baker's African stories and the happy combination is struck. The joy if the film lies in its kindly wild life rather than its civiliz ed brutality. And in putting Bur rough's story into the film the Na tional Film Corporation is said tQ have shown good sense of showman ship. "Tarzan" is. critics declare, better than most films which have been concocted for the screen, and credit must be given Scott Sidney, who staged it, and Isidor Bernstein, who edited it, nature, beauties, imagina tion and clean, free spirit make the film a delight. The film follows the magazine story with enough faithfulness to satisfy readers of the Burroughs story. "The Danger Game" is the title of Madge Kennedy's latest picture, which will be Madge Kennedy In shown at the •• iuc Oanger tiame" Colonial Thea- ter to-day and to-morrow. Miss Kennedy's screen vehicles, up to the present time, have been farces, but in "The Danger Game" the piquant little star is given an opportunity to play a part that is more or less dramatic. She is seen as Clytie Rogers, a wealthy society girl, who writes a novel which is severely criticised by Jimmie Gilpin, a book critic, who says that the incidents de vised for such a heroine as the other has created are entirely improbable. Clytie. to prove that they are not im probable. decides to enact her own story.

Imagine then a beautiful maiden within a hut, an open window, a maddened, bloodthirsty lion crouched—all ready for his spring—liis hone-crushing; talons extended, his dripping jaws widely distended. The cowering girl stands petri fied —the narrow eyes of the monster glued on his prey— when, like a holt from the sky, a giant white form leaps from the fringe of fungu.s, straight for the panting beast, and plunging head long, landed full force on the lion's haunches and an instant later the lion lay dead, strangled, and Tarzan OF THE Apes . stood erect, his arms raised to heaven—of which he knew noth ing—a victory cry rends the air and the maiden got her Hrst glimpse of the great white giant —king of the jungles, whom she was destined soon to love.
