DOSE FOR LUCK
Americans Take Nothing For
Granted When Hun
Starts Anything
With the American Army In
Frunee, May 14.—A big enemy am
munition dump at Cantigny was fired
by the American artillery yesterday
morning. At the same time two fires
were started in Montdldier, followed
by numerous explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry ac
tion yesterday and only intermittent
machine gun and rifle fire. The posi
tion of the Germans is becoming 1
more and more intolerable, while the
Americans are entrenching their po
sitions more firmly. Any hopes the
enemy might have had of breaking
through in this sector are diminish
ing.
The Americans take nothing for
granted, but return the enemy fire
two to one, which is believed to set
a new pace in this sector. What ap
pears to trouble the Germans most
is that the Americans never turn
back when the enemy uses gas. They
fiiVy him a double dose of the same,
with everything else the enemy tries.
Alarm Clock DiMtarhM Foe
How an American alarm clock
kept the whole German line guessing:
and caused the Germans useless ex
penditure of large quantities of ma
chine gun and rifle ammunition all
one night was related yesterday.
The Americans had been trying for
some time to draw the fire of cer
tain enemy units.
"Leave Fritz to me," said a happy
faced young American, who. putting
an alarm clock under his arm, dis
appeared into No Man's under
cover cf darkness and fastened the
clock to a wire.
Soon the alarm rang, hereupon the
Germans opened fire. The wire had
been so arranged that the clock con
tinued to ring intermittently, and
each time drew a violent firo from
the enemy. Meanwhile the Amer
icans rested in their trenches and
enjoyed a hearty laugh.
An American officer turned the
tebles nicely on the enemy recently.
The Germans had retired during a
bombardment to concrete dugouts
behind their trenches, leaving the
first three lines to one man, who
went around setting off flares, so as
to create the impression that the
whole front was alive with Germans.

PARADERS RETURN TO
DESKS
None the Worse For Their Drenching, Pupils Who Braved
Storm Hear Praise of Their Loyalty and Patriotism
The three or four thousand school
children who participated in Harris
burg's record-breaking parade yes
terday afternoon appeared in school
this morning none the worse for
their drenching and listened to
praises from teachers for the way
they acquitted themselves in the
demonstration.
These teachers in turn have re
ceived the thanks of the chief mar
shal of the parade and his aids for
their efforts in making the parade
the success it was. It was through
these teachers every school was
promptly in place and the pageant
enabled to move promptly at the ap
pointed time.
In spite of the downpour which
drenched the paraders and threaten
ed to call off the parade completely,
the general committee in charge of
the War Savings Stamp drive stated
unequivocally this morning that the
parade worked wonders in boosting
the sales of War Savings Stamps and
stimulating interest in the great
campaign now being waged. It is
safe to say there was not a parent
along Harrisburg's rainsoaked streets
yesterday who will not respond to
the silent appeal of the hundreds of
marching children by doing his
utmost in the purchase of War Sav
ings Stamps.
Try to Pick Winners
Spectators this morning were try
ing to pick out the winners in the
great parade. And every school has
its band of eager patrons who re
fuse to believe any other school sur
passed it. Those who had no children
or friends in the long line of march
agreed that every school showed up
100 per cent, patriotic and 100 per
cent, perfect.
From the squad of eight stalwart
bluecoats who led the parade to the
bunch of Tech Freshman who closed
up the rear guard, the organization
was worthy of commendation
throughout. The three squads of let
ter carriers in their light blue uni
forms, surprised every one by their
fine appearance as marchers. These
men have made a reputation for
themselves as War Stamp sellers and
they received a lot of applause.
Following them were borne large
•banners of the Allies. These colors
made a great hit along the line. The
Girl Scouts under Miss Julia Stamm,
in their natty uniforms had a host
of friends among the spectators, and
made still more by their fine appear
ance and perfect marching. These
girls stuck it through the rain, and
ended up at the square with the
bands and joined in the community
singing. The entire turnout of bands
massed and played at the Square to
large crowd.
Every Scout troop in the city un
der J. F. Virgin, was in line march
ing like veterans and showing their
soldierly qualities by not seeming to
notice it was raining in torrents.
Troop 10 made a hit as the parade
proceeded. This troop was mounted
on bicycles and made a businesslike
appearance. Troop No. 11 bore a
banner heralding its members as 100
per cent, perfect in the purchase of
War Savings Stamps.
Troop 14 had a real warlike ap
pearance with a khaki covered sup
ply wagon which was pulled by mem
bers of the troop. Troop 22 carried
a banner with the words: "Get the
War Stamp Habit and Stick to It."
Particularly fine looking troops
from Camp Hill, Lemoyne and Mid
dletown completed the line of Boy
Scouts.
The second division, marshaled by
J. K. Uodenhaver, was perhaps tho
brightest looking division In line. It
was led by the Cadets of the Knights
of St. George, who made a hit with
the spectators. The boys wore Hed
Cross aleevebands and the girls
wore white middies, red Ues and Ked
Cross caps.
I.ltllc (inddrKHTO of Liberty
The children of the St. Ulmiin
parochial achool wore red. white and
blue watiita, and were led by a row
of Klrla dreaaed aa Uoddeaaea of lib
erty. The rent of the glrla wore Rod
Croaa capa, while the boya carried
amall Hugs.
The boya from the Harrlaburg
Academy marched behind u large
American flax and a banner bearing
the worda "The Harrlaburir Acad
emy." Theae young men drilled un
der Sergeant Blake of the Marriaburg
recruiting party last week, and were
no "pikers" when it came to march
ing.
It was the third division that
made the real hit of the parade. This
; division passed in its entirety along
Market street and elicited continu
ous and prolonged applause. As
many of the marchers in this divi
sion were the young pupils from the
eighth grades the rain made it im
possible for them to remain In the
formation and consequently the best
division of the parade and the one
i wvhich drew so many thousands of
spectators into the central part of
.the city, was sadly depleted before it
had covered half the route.
Service Flag in Parade
Central High school led the divi
sion with one of the best appearing
turnouts in the entire line. This
school was led by a delegation of its
girls carrying the large service flag
dotted with the stars representing
its graduates who are in Uncle Sam's
service. The appearance of the serv
ice flag drew much applause.
The freshmen, wearing white caps
with W r . S. S. in. red letters and
marching arm in arm, aroused con
tinuous applause by their neat ap
pearance.
Following them came the division
that thousands of the spectators
waited all through the drenching
rain to see, Harrisburg's schoolchil
dren of the elementary grades. Hun
dreds of these plucky children pa
raded through the heavy downpour
without a break in their ranks and
with unbowed heads, and a large
contingent of them finished the en
tire route and joined in the demon
stration in Market Square.
These schools were led off by the
Harris and Willard schools. The
youngsters received continuous ap
plause for the way they marched.
The colored pupils of the Wicker
sham building had a large contin
gent in line and marched well,
Th<- Webster school looked partic
ularly fine in their neat white
dresses and waists and bright green
ties. A large green and white ban
ner with the name of the school led
this fine-looking contingent.
The Melrose school made an in
stant hit with its original turnout.
Behind the huge banner bearing the
name of the school marched chil
dren dressed as Columbia, Uncle
Sam, a Red Cross nurse, a soldier
and H sailor. The entire school
sported black and yellow ribbons,
the school colors.
The Shimmell building, following,
kept up the good appearance of the
entire division, wearing natty white
outfits with white W. S. S. caps on
the girls.
The next division was led off by a
I fine-looking school, the Maciay,
marching behind a huge school ban
ner. Following them marched the
children from the Cameron school,
dressed in white and led by a ban
ner with "Simon Cameron School"
emblazoned on it in large letters.
This was one of the largest schools
in line. Boy Scouts carried a ban
ner with the words, "Cameron has
$13,300 In Uiberty Bonds. How much
havo you?"
The pupils of the Steele school
aroused much favorable comment,
marching in the form of a square
n.id carrying a large American flag
In the center. This schopl had a
good motto, "If you come across he
can go across," which it displayed
on a banner.
In tho next division the pupils of
the Forney school, looking neat and
bright ill white dresses and waists,
were led by a large blue and yellow
banner bearing the name of the
schocl. The I.incoln school, led by a
blue and red banner, looked fine In
white with W. S. 8. caps. Wood
ward, led by a gray and yellow ban
ner. looked naat and attractive with
the girls dressed In white.
Ilnmlltsa Attmets Attention
The most practical and one of the
bi-nt-:ecelved units was the Hamil
ton. leading the school was a black
and > ellow banner with the name of
tho school. All the boys were
d teased as farmers, wearing over
alls ami straw hats. The girls were
dressed In white and carried pans
and the banner "We oave." This
contingent received continuous ap
plause.
The Helly achool, folowtng, kept
up the good work with Its neat ap
pearance. dressed In white and wear
ing Red Cross caps.
The Tech paraders probably were
the worst treated at the hunds of the
weatherman. They waited through
the drenching downpour until their
torn came to take their position In
the line of march, and It was Just
after their start that the downpour
became almost too great for endur
unce. This large school marched to
Fourth and Walnut, thereby showing
the spectators in Market street what
a line appearance they could make,
then they dropped out of !in
l'liimt Marchers In
Drilled last week by officers for
the Harrlsburg recruiting party,
these young men were the lini-st
marching body in line, it was freely
conceded. Kach class was led by a
banner, "One Hundred Per Cent.
Perfect," and each marcher carried
a stick with a War Havings Stamp
card, well plastered with stamps,
and a ' .small American flag at the
end of It. It was one of the largest
bodies in line, one of the best and
one of the hardest working, and it
elicited much applause the short
while It was in line.
