Plea During Patriotic
Lecture
Showing pictures of tnlnor Gorman
atrocities, of the life of the Kaiser,
official French war pictures and of
the Americans In France. Dr. W. H.
Farley last evening In Chestnut
Street Auditorium delivered a well
received lecture on "Wake Up. Amer
ica." The lecture, given under the
auspices of the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce, was attended by ap
proximately 3,000 persons.
"Germany has traded Christ for
Krupp," said Dr. Farley, reiterating
a declaration of "Billy" Sunday in a
recent sermon on "Germany," "and,"
he added, "their morale has sunken
so low that the Kaiser will have to
take an aeroplane to get to the low
est plane where the ministers are |
trying to keep you from going." In
cluded within the scope of Dr. Far
ley's address was the early life of
William Hohenzollern, as well as hi#

Dr. Farley said, "must work six days

whom the supply of food and shells
depends, don't quit your job for the
sake of some minor grievance."
Official Frnch war pictures show
ing aerial battles were thrown on
the screen. The reels, however,
which showed the American troopers
drilling "somewhere in France" un
der the famous French Blue Devils,
drew probably more applause than
did any other.
F. W. Smith. Jr.. who presided at
thq meeting, delivered a short talk
on "Being Patriots" before Dr. Far
ley's lecture. In part, he said: "The
Germans never would have dared to
attempt such a raid as they did to

300 of Crew of Missing
Porto Rican Liner Brought
Safely Into U. S. Harbor
An Atlantic Port, June 4.—Three
hundred of the passengers and crew:
of the torpedoed steamship Carolina!
were picked up at sea in open boats
by the sc)>ooner Etta B. Douglass.
The schooner anchored a mile off
Barnegat Inlet at I.SO o'clock this
afternoon, apparently awaiting or
ders regarding the disposition of his
shipwrecked carfco.
In addition seven members of tho
crew were landed at the Inlet wharf
by a coast guard lifeboat. They
consisted of Martin Carroll, of New
ark, N. J., and six Porto Ricans.
The men tarried long enough to!
say they "had a tough time" and!
then they were whisked off to the!
coast guard station where they were
supplied with much needed food.
THE KltiHT GIRL. AT I.A!tT
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have >ieen going about with a !
girl cousin for about one year. My |
going with her was really for the >
sake of my people. But to tell you j
the truth. I don't care for her at all.
I had made up my mind to forget
girls, for sometime, and so I did for |
about six months. Lately I became •
acquainted with one whom I dearly j
love and 1 know she cares for me.
She is one year and four months my
senior. My people object, saying I
should not go about with her because
of the difference in our ages. Now.
Miss Fairfax, should I give up a girl
whom 1 dearly Ibve because of this?
I. K.
The very trifling difference in your
ages should be no impediment to a
happy marriage. There have been
many instances, where the woman
has been ten or fifteen years older,
and the marriage has been a complete
success. The same tastes, interests,
ideals are far more important fac
tors, in a happy marriage, than a
trifling difference of years.

NURSES WILL
MEET TO PLAN
WAR SERVICE
Intensive Campaign to Secure
Twenty-Five Graduates Be
gins in City and Vicinity
.Graduate nurses of Harrlsburg
and vicinity will meet at the Harris
burg Hospital, Saturday evening at
7.30 o'clock to discuss the present
situation and plan a way for actual
war service. The meeting will be
held in connection with a drive for
nurses for overseas service, being
made by the Harrisburg Chapter,
American Red Cross.
Notices announcing the meeting
ing have been sent all Harrisburg
graduate nurses whose names were
available. A number of nurses fn the
vicinity also have received announce
ments, signed by Mrs. James I.
Chamberlin, chairman of the com
mittee in charge of the Red Cross
drive, /pr nurses, and Miss Frances
Scott, chapter supervisor, and bear
ing the approval of Mrs. Lyman D.
Gilbert, president of the Red Cross
Chapter.
The intensive campaign in Harris
burg was launched yesterday with
an aim of twenty-five graduate nurs
es for service in the Army and Navy.
An official statement regarding the
campaign, coming from the cam
paign committee, follows:
"From headquarters comes an im
perative call for more registered
nurses, and the present week, June
3 to 10 will be given to intensive re
cruiting work along this line. The
appeal for more nurses reaily comes
from Dr. W. C. Gorgas, surgeon gen
eral of the United States Army. He
states that the need for" 'a great
number of nurses is acute' and he
asks the American Red Cross to as
sist in obtaining the number required
for the Army Xurse Corps. Twenty
five nurses are needed from this dis
trict. Who will volunteer? Send in
the names to Mrs. Chamberlin at
Red Cross headquarters."
ASK NEIGHBORS TO
CHECK UP MEN
[Continued from First Page.]
Men in the idler and nonproduc
tive classes with but few exceptions
will be forced to find employment
along lines which will aid in the suc
cessful prosecution of the war. The
new regulations draw the lines tight
ly on the men whom the government
now considers as doing unessential
work. \
As an aid in rounding up thie class
and putting the men to work where
the government wants them, citizens
will be called upon to report to the
nearest local board men of military
age who are in the idler or non
productive classification after July 1.
Up to Ivooal Hoards
When persons coming under the
classification of idlers or engaged in
nonuseful occupations are reported
to a local board, the procedure will
have to be a formal notice of not
less than three or more than seven
flays to present such evidence as he
may care to submit. The local boards
are expected to follow the present
method and require all proof to be
submitted in affidavit form.
A local board may summon any
man who may be idle or nonpro
ductively employed within its terri
tory whether the board haß original
Jurisdiction over t*ie registrant or
not. If the man is a resident of an
other district, the local board which
has taken cognizance of the case
I shall prepare its findings and a brief
summary of the proof in the case
and forward this record to the regis
trant's local board. If the latter
board rules against the defendant
after reviewing the evidence his or
der number shall be forfeited and
he will become immediately liable to
military service, subject ,to right of
review by his district board. The
ruling of the district board is final,
except where there is a dissenting
vote among its members, when an
appeal may be made* to the Presi
dent.
The complete record of every reg
istrant examined must be sent to the
district board even when the de
cision Is in favor of the registrant.
When the district board approves the
findings of the local board against
a registrant he Is immediately given
notice and sent to camp if any va
cancies exist, or placed at the top of
the list of those next to be called.
Reasonable Kxraaes
In the printed regulation ismied to
the local boards to-day no additional
employments are placed on the list
of nonproductive lines. The local
and district boards were cautioned
not to extend the list of nonproduc
tive employments without specific
authority from the War Department.
The reasonable excuses for idle
ness of nonproductive employment
must be considered under the follow
ing heads:
First, sickness; second, reasonable
vacation; third, lack of reasonable
opportunity for employment in any
occupation outside of those de
scribed. Temporary absences (not
regular vacations) from regular em
ployments, not to exceed one week,
unless such temporary absences are
habitual and frequent, shall not be
considered as idleness.
Local and district boards were In
structed that a phase to be considered
is whether there are compelling do
mestic reasons that would not per
mit change of employment by the
registrant without disproportionate
hardship to his dependants or
whether a change from a nonpro
ductive to a productive employment
would necessitate the removal of the
registrant from his place of resi
dence, causing a hardship on n-.s
family.
