WOMEN DID WORK
IN BOND DRIVE
Emergency Aid of Pennsylva
nia Largely Instrumental
in Big Oversubscription
TV close of the Third Liberty Loan
campaign has served to call attention
to the truly remarkable work accom
plished by the women of the country
In helping Uncle Sam to saise the
sinews of war and in no section of
the United States were their efforts
more successful than in the Philadcl- :
phia District
The Emergency Aid of Pennsylva- j
nia, of which there is a branch in
Harrisburg, while not participating in j
the loan campaign as an organization,
was nevertheless largely instrumental i
in the success of the district women's i
organization through the individual ,
efforts of its members and because of I
their wide experience in organizing I
and working out plans for war relief j
Work.
To illustrate —It was Mrs. Barclay |
H. Warburton, vice-chairman of the
Emergency Aid. who conveiveW and
carried out the idea of the Women's |
Liberty Loan or "Second Line of De- |
fence" parade as it was called, and
who prevailed upon Mrs. Woodrow j
Wilson, the lirst lady in the land, to,
come from Washington to review it.
The parade was the greatest demon
stration of women ever held in Penn
sylvania. and was participated in by
numerous organizations, including the
Red Cross, the Department of Navy
Recreation of the Women's Naval Ser
vice, the National League for Women's
Service, the Y. M. C. A„ Girl Scouts
and several score church and school
war-relief bodies.
The chairman of the Philadelphia
District of the women's loan organi
zation was Mrs. Walter S. Thomson,
who is also chairman of the Overseas
Committee of the Emergency Aid and
a member of the executive committee.
Mrs. Thomson's organization, compris
ing ten district committees, sold over
$:>:!,000,000 of bonds. Mrs. Norman
MacLeod and her Emergency Aaid
Aids, uniformed organization of the
younger members of society, had
charge of the booths in the central
part of the city and sold over $12.-
000.000 wor'h of bonds.
Tsese facts are mentioned to show
what the women's organizations can
accomplish, even in something en
tirely outside their suposed sphere ot'
usefulness. But the Emergency Aid
has accomplished such wonderful
work in other lines, more especially in
war relief work, that a brief review
will be ol" interest and serve as an in
centive to the branch organizations to
co'i.'inue and enlarge their efforts.
before this country entered the war.
the Emergency Aid. through its Ar
menian, Belgian. British. French, Ital
ian. Montenegrin, Polish, Foreign Red
Cross. Serbian. Surgical Dressings and
other committees had sent millions of
dollars in cash and supplies to the re
lief of the suffering peoples of Europe.
Then came our entry into the con
flict, and with it bzegan the work of
the American Overseas Committee.
This committee was organized for the
specific purpose of sending comforts
and supplies to Pennsylvania men in
the service in France. The scope of
its work has recently been enlarged
to include the men in the training
camps in this country and to combat
German propaganda among the wo
men relatives of men in the service.
The American Overseas Committee
has been eminently successful and
the band of devoted women has raised
upwards of SIOO,OOO through the To
bacco Fund, Jam Fund. Chocolate
Fund. Comfort Kit Fund and other
corelated enterprises. For instance,
the Tobacco Fund. ha.s shipped and
paid tor. up to May 1. 191S, $43,447.54
worth of tobacco. All of this tobacco
is packed in individual kits and con
signed to the American Soldiers' and
Sailors' Club of Paris, from which it
is distributed to the men throughout
111 battle zone.
The Tobacco Fund has been ma
terially assisted by the volunteer ef
fort of many famous people, among
,whom may be mentioned Sergeant
T'nipey. Miss Kathleen Burke. Private
Peat. "Smiling" Pat O'Brien, and many
others.
The Paris Club, just mentioned, Is
also the heaidquarters of the Emer
gency Aid.
The weiring of the Emergency
Aid uniform is urged upon all mem
bers, both of the central organiza
tion and the branches. It is a service
uniform, indicating that the wearer
is devoting herself, as far as possible,
to the service of her country. Further,
it is an economical habit. The wearing
of the uniform saves many dollars
worth of other and more expensive
clothes and is in thorough accord
with the conservation idea. Local
branch oflicers of the organization
are: Miss Bertha Zedricks. president;
Mrs. 11. Smith, vice-president: Mrs.
John Fields, treasurer, and Miss G.
Potter, secretary.

supply the demand on the concerns,
Harrisburg trade will be supplied
first and no \iread shipped to some
of the out-of-town dealers. This
matter is now being taken up with
the out-of-town dealers, explaining
the condition. As much of this trade
as possible is being eliminated for the
next four weeks by the Standard
Company. The local bakeries in such
towns can in practically every in
stance supply the increased demand
caused by the cutting off of the Har
risburg supply and in this manner
will do much to alleviate condition
in Harrisburg.
Xo Difficulty So Far
The only difficulty that exists now
is that found in the delivery prob
lem and this is being considerably
lightened through the hearty co
operation of the dealers that their
customers may not suffer. The
Standard Company is now making
but one delivery each day in efforts
to eliminate as much waste motion
as possible. Dealers have been ask
ed to give their orders a day ahead
of time that they may be fully sup
plied in the one delivery.
Merchants in all parts of the city
this morning reported that they were
experiencing no difficulty in securing
a full supply of bread from the two
Harrisburg concerns now operating.
None reported any difficulty in be
ing supplied. H. W. Long, manager
of the Standard Bakery, this morn
ing announced that in case any per
son in Harrisburg has not received
a sufficient supply of bread to meet
his needs, he may come to the bak
ery at any time and secure enough.
Statements issued by L. M. Brick
er this morning were to the effect
that a total of 158,000 "counts" had
been produced by his plant within
the past thirty-six hours. This is
equivalent to 735,000 "counts" week
ly, triple the ordinary supply of 230,-
000 "counts." Manager Long, of the
Standard Bakery, announced that
55,000 "counts" daily are now be
ing produced by his concern. So,
with such productions and with the
plants running seven days each
week, Harrisburg need fear no bread
famine.
DISQUIETING WAR

Setback, Gains Made at the Outset

\cw York, May 31. The market ]
awaited further news from the war
front to-day at opening. Speculative |
interests halted pending advices. j
Leaders made partial improvement i
during the first hour but fell back j
more extensively later, the reversal j
accompanying further disquieting war j
reports. The few gains of the out- I
set were entirely canceled, steels, j
shippings ana specialties losing 1 to 3 !
points on increased activity which j
evidently included liquidation of long j
accounts. Fractional rallies set in at j
noon. Liberty 3%s sold at 99.54 to

General Charles G. Treat
Detailed to Duty in Italy;
Depends on Gen. Wood
Washington, May 31.—Orders de
! tailing Brigadier General Charles G.
! Treat to duty in Italy were issued
!by the War Department to-day. It
j was said that the orders might be
| revoked as they are contingent to
j some extent on the final assignment
of Major General Leonard Wood,
who though assigned to command
the western department probably
will be transferred at his own re
quest to a divisional camp.
The exact nature of the duties In
tended for General Treat has not
been disclosed. Two other general
officers of the Army already a-e in
Italy. Brigadier-General George P.
Striven, in Rome, as military at
tache, and Major-General Eben Swift,
heading the special military mission.
The fact that General Scriven was
recalled from the retired list to take
his present detail has led to the sup
position, that he is to be relieved by
General Treat.
Anna Held, Dying, Sends
Love to "My Soldiers"
New York, —Anna Held, whose
death may he a matter of hours, or
weeks, sent this message yesterday
to her friends through a reporter
who was admitted to her bedside:
"X guess little Anna Held is finish
ed. I wish I could be out now. I
could do so much to raise money for
the soldiers. Please send my love to
my brave soldters in the trenches.
But now, I am so" tired. I am so
sick" and the message died away
as Miss Held closed her eyes.
The features of the famous French
woman showed the inroads of her
disease—multiple myeloma. She has
fallen away from 126 to 78 pounds
In three months. Hope has been
abandoned of arresting the progress
of the disease, which Dr. Donald
McCaskey, her physician, said wa
of "unknown cause and unknown
cure," and of which there have only
been 204 cases reported before Miss
Held's, „ . .

Revenue Hearings
Will Begin June 6
Washington, May 31.—The Ways
and Means Committee has llxed June
6 as the date for beginning public
hearings on the new revenue bill.
The plan approved by the Ways
j and Means Committee calls for a
recess during July, on the theory that
the revenue measure will be com
pleted in committee on August 1,
with passage of the bill in the
House by the middle or last of
August and a recess of the House
while the bill is under debate in the
Senate. Leaders are unanimous in the
opinion, however, that the measure
cannot be ready for the President's
signature before late in October at
the earliest.
Jn a statement after the commit
tee meeting, Chairman Kitchin an
nounced that the revenue measure
I would follow the general trend out-
I lined by President Wilson in his re
cent message to Congress urging the
new levies.
The $4,000,000,000 additional rev
enue, sought by the administration
as necessary to a successful prosecu
tion of the war, will be drawn large-
I ly, Mr. Kitchin said, from taxes
I "upon incomes, excess of war prof
| its, luxuries and semi-luxuries."

Prohibitionists Called For
State-Wide Meeting
Dr. B. E. P. Prugh, the chairman
of the Prohibition State Cojnmittee,
to-day Issued a call for the newly
elected state committee of the party
to meet at the state headquarters
June 5.
In his statement regarding the call
Dr. Prugh said: "An active cam
paign will be waged this year. The
policy of the party will be to replace
its candidates with those of the I
stronger parties wherever there is a I
contest between the "wets" and the I
"drys." Two years ago its vote was ]
the determining feature in the elec- !
tion of two Congressmen and of i
some legislators and the present out- j
look is for more emphatic impress
on the results this year."
Dr. Prugh said that his party had
no relation with the conference of
the National party held here yester
day and that he did not know it was
being held to prepare a state ticket.
The pre-emptors of the National
party name in Pennsylvania are res
idents of Dauphin county and none
of them attended the conference
here yesterday.

Memorial Day in the various
churches of the Harrisburg diocese

yesterday observed with special serv
ices In all of them in answer to Pres
ident Wilson's proclamation.
In every church of the diocese,
patriotism played a large part in all
of the services. Concerning the ob

Philip R. McDevitt. Bishop of Har
risburg:, sent the following letter to
every charge under his control:
"Reverend and Dear Father:
"His Excellency the President of
! the United States, in pursuance of
i the request of the House of Congress,
| recommends the observance of the
' 30th May, Memorial Day, as a day
!of public humiliation, prayer, and
fasting, and furthermore exhorts
! citizens of all faiths and creeds to
j assemble on that day in their several
i places of worship, and there, as well
| as in their homes, to pray Almighty
God that He may forgive our sins
and shortcomings as a people, and
i purify ou? hearts to see and love
the truth, to accept and defend all
things that are just and right, and
to purpose only those righteous'acts
and judgments which are in con
formity with His will; beseeching
Him that He will give victory to our
armies as they tight for freedom,
wisdom to those who take counsel
i on our behalf in these days of dark
struggle and perplexity, and stead
