New Form of Propaganda
Is Hampering Red Cross
Carlisle. Pa.. May 15. —Officers of
the Carlisle Chapter of the Ameri
can Red Cross have taken up with j
Federal agents in this vicinity the
latest form of pro-German propa
ganda which has hampered Red
Cross work in an auxiliary of the
Carlisle organization. According to
* a report widely circulated near Car
lisle. men who enrolled for the Red i
Cross were subject to a tax of sls at
any time and women could be
dratted for service anywhere in the :
United States or in France. A
sweeping denial of the story has,
been issued and efforts will be made j
to push the persons responsible. j

SENATOR SPROUL !
IS CONFIDENT HE
WILL BE WINNER

Every Reason to Believe He
Will Be Nominated, but
Will Abide by Primary
Senator Sproul, who rode overland
to Gettysburg this morning from
Harrisburg with ex-President Wil- !
liam H. Taft. who delivered the ora- j
tion at the annual commencement i
exercises of Gettysburg College.)
where the Senator received a degree,
was congratulated upofi the digni
fied campaign he has conducted for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. While the
incentive at times became perhaps
rather strong, the Senator from
Delaware county at no time stopped!
to te and abuse.
"I have every reason to believe j
that I will be nominated next Tues-j
day by the Republican voters of j
Pennsylvania. In my various trips!
| through Pennsylvania during the!
! last four weeks I have been more |
] than pleased with the innumerable j
! tenders of support from men in j
| every walk of life. I am making I
!no extravagant claims, nor am 1 I
i talking loosely and merely for effect.!
| w hen I say that I have every rea- j
' son to believe that I will be sue-1
j cessful in next Tuesday's primary j
i election."
To Abide by Primary
"Suppose through some mischance !
i you are not nominated?" Senator
j Sproul was asked. Will you con
! tinue in the race until the Xovem.-
j ber election?"
"I will not," replied Senator
j Sproul. "I have agreed to abide by i
jthe decision of the Republican pri- 1
j mary. I am a Republican."
Senator Sproul refused to com
j ment on the failure of his opponent, j
i J. Denny O'Xeil, to reply to queries i
' as to what will be his action if de- ;
t'eated next Tuesday. John R. K.
! Scott, candidate for lieutenant gov
j ernor. also refused to answer that i
j query. Senator E. E. Beidleman. ;
I Dauphin county candidate for lieu-!
j tenant governor and generally re- ]

Men Wounded in Action and ;

While the Blue Devil heroes of

J terday and receiving the cheers and
approbation of the populace, two
| soldiers of America, veterans of
Pershing's Army, who have seen
,| eleven months of service in France,
been over the top three times, receiv
ed shrapnel wounds and been award
ed the Croix de Guerre for bravery
in action, were entertained in the
city and county and gave every evi
j dence that the Americans in France

during our revolution and helped

Today women are helping to win
this war by Saving Food.

Corporal M. H. Plant and Sergeant
E. A. McNIIT ware the veterans re-,
turned to the country by Pershing to
speak in the interests of the VV.)
S. S„ Red Cross and other .van
funds. While, in the county they
were piloted by Klavel S. Wright,
one of the leaders of the W. S. S.I
drive. They left this morning for'
Philadelphia. Yesterday,besides their
timely advice and appeals to the i
committee at the V. M. C. A. they
toured Miliersburg. Elizabethville.
Lykens and other Upper End towns.
The outstanding; message sounded
by the two heroes of the American j
overseas army :s that in the flnal j
test of war the Americans are stand-1
ins: up as well as the soldiers of any
other country.
"We are not heroes." said Me-'
Niff. "anybody else would do what
we did. All an American, if he is a
real- American, wants is a chance to
do it. He\jl do it."
These men decried the custom ofj
"pawing over" the returned soldiers.!
Here is what one of them says: I
"Soldiers home from France do!
not like to be pawed over. We're
plain human beings trying to do our I
1 share of licking the Hun. We're glad'
to answer questions, but cut the fool
ish ones. When you ask us whether
we know Johnny Smith of Bud Brown
don't expect us to say yes unless vou
tell us their unit. In the meantime
get back of Unci© Sam."
Because of their modesty it was
difficult to get trom them the story
of the exploits which had won for
them their Croix de Guerre. It was
during a night attack, when ihey
were sent forward to capture German
prisoners from their dugouts. After
the_ charge they were caught between
the'ir own tire and that of the en
emy. They went forced to taka
shelter In an enemy dugout all night,
and did not reach their trenches
until the next day. Then, although
wounded, both of thp men brought
in Boehe prisoners and then aided
in bringing French woundecj bar-k
: of their lines.
The soldiers gave timely pointers
on the work of recruiting "Y" war
workers. They declared that a man
| ol military age and able to shoulder
! a gun could not win the respect of
| the men. Middle-ajjed, fatherly men
I are needed, they say.
