Contract For Fifty Bed
Sacks Placed in Harrisburg
' Contracts for 50.000 bed sacks have
! been placed with the Jennings Manu
| facturlng Company, 2012 North Fourth
I street, by the United States Govern
i nient. The tirst carload of these sacks
i were shipped from the local estab
! lishment this week, and officials of the
i company said they expect to issue a
carload more of the sacks each week.
The production of the local plant
now reaches 1.000 daily, and officials
said they are straining every effffort
to double this capacity, but are being
hindered somewhat because of the
lack of help. Forty young women are
needed at the present time with work
guaranteed for the winter months.
The sacks now being produced by
the Jennings concern are sent to vari
ous Army cantonments to be tilled by
the soldiers and used as mattresses.
They are so formed that they can be
i emptied on short notice and rolled up
into a small bundle so that it will not

WILSON ASSURES
MEXICO U. S. IS
QUITE FRIENDLY
Settlement .of Internal Trou
bles None of Our Business,
President Declares
Havana, June 11.—President Wil
son in his address to the Mexican
newspaper editors in Washington
last Friday expressed- sincere friend
ship for Mexico. His address, which
is printed in the morning- newspapers
here to-day, follows in part:
"I have never received a group of
men who were more welcome than
you because it has been otie of my
distresses during my presidency that
the Mexican people did not more
thoroughly understand the attitude
of the I'ntted States toward Mexico.
I think I can assure you * * *
that that attitude is one of sincere
friendship.
"The policy of my administration
toward Mexico was in every point
based upon the principle that the in
ternal settlement of the affairs of
Mexico was non? of our business;
that we had no right to interfere
with or dictate to Mexico in any par
ticular with regard to her own af
fairs. When we sent troops into
Mexico our sincere desire was noth
ing else than to assist you to get rid
0 fa man who was making the settle
ment of your affairs for the time be
ing impossible. We had no desire to
use our troops for any other purpose
and. I was in hopes that by assisting
in that way. and thereupon imme
diately withdrawing I might give
substantial truth of assurance that
1 had given your government
through President Carranza.
"At the present time it distresses
me to learn that certain influences,
which I assume to be German In
their origin, are trying to make a
wrong impression throughout Mexi
co as to the purpose of the United
States, but to give an absolutely un
true account of things that hap
pened." *

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
POOR POLICE POLICY'
To thr Editor of tht Ttltgrafh:
I am the mother of a boy whose
pockets were looted while he was tak
ing part in the track meet at Island
Park last week. His trousers were
in tlie dressing rooms while he was
in his athletic suit out on the track.
The boys who did the stealing were
caught red handed and arrested. They
were taken before the Mayor who let
them go.
"They're such intelligent lads." the
Mayor said. "I'm sure they didn't
realize what they were doing." and so
he let them go. Such intelligent lads,
and they didn't know what they were
doing. What kind of contradictor
nonsense is that?
I do not believe these lads should
have been sent to the house of de
tention, but 1 believe thev should have
been held under probation that Is.
the Mayor should have reprimanded
them severely, imposed costs of the
case upon the parents, insisted upon
punishment at home and warned them
that their next appearance would be
a signal for juvenile court. These
boys know very well that they were
stealing. They know stealing is
wrong. They will continue to go to
the bad just so long as going to the
bad is made easv for them.

LIFE m FRANCE
Son of Former Jury Commis
sioner Writes From the
Forces "Over There"
HENRY TAYLOR
Henry Taylor, 903 North Second
street, is now serving in France In
the Aviation Corps, where he is hav
ing some wonderful experiences, he
says. Taylor, before his enlistment,
served in various parts of Pennsyl
vania for the Bell Telephone Com
pany, but shortly after the declara
tion of war he enlisted in the Signal
Corps of the Fnited States Army. Re
cently he was' transferred to the
Aviation Corps. Taylor is enjoyipg
his experiences on the war-lorn fields
of France thoroughly, he writes to
friends here. A recent letter re
ceived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel M. Taylor, follows:
"France, May 12, 191 S.
"Dear Parents:
"To-day is Mother's Day. I'm
writing to you instead, for it may just
be possible that yau may be inter
ested in some things which in writ
ing to Peg I consider of secondary
importance. Then two parts of my
letters are jealously guarded and not
passed around. Peg has told me as
much. Those parts that have had
circulation are no doubt colossal
monuments to my inability to spell,
but I'll make no excuses nor will I
have to prove it. I just admit it and
write on—so here goes:
"About the only thing a member
of the A. E. F. is sure of is that
there is a war. Even then some of
us whose acquaintance with actual
trench life has been acquired
through binoculars from a safe dis
tance and hearsay alone experience
short, blissful moments of doubt, but
these moments are short lived. For
instance, in my case. I wouldn't be
in France (somewhere! without
Mrs. Peg Taylor unless there was a
war or the wind blew me over here.
However, since I am here, I do my
best to consider it a very high privi
lege. I succeed quite well with the
delusion, too. for I- feel that I'm
needed (even If to date my 'bit' has
been -a .wry small, insignificant one)
along with every properly-equipped
man we can transport to France.
"It's no secret tjiese days that the
United States is just in the nick of
time. Our entrance saved or will
save the day, but we mustn't forget
that the dogged grit of England and
her colonies and the wiryness and
elasticity of the French, together
with Russia's flunk (Peg, where is
old 'Chaser?) have combined to
throw the deciding vote in our lap.
It so happens that with the least ef
fort and suffering of any of the Al
lies we find ourselves masters of an
extremely nasty situation with the
Central Powers. It's hardly fltting
that we Americans, either in France
or at home, should waste our time
over feeling sorry that there Is a
war and that we are inconvenienced
by it. The fact is there is a war,
one In which, had we taken our part
from the start, might now be his
tory. However, Americans as a race
aren't palm readers (that's for you.
Peg) and spilled milk is tabooed.
Our job is to make it past history,
the kind that doesn't repeat, and to
do it quickly.
"It's a terrible sacrifice for a
mother or wife to send her son or
husband almost 4,000 miles to meet
conditions she doesn't fully know
the details of. I think I know a lit
tle of how they feel. Imagination is
a wonderful thing, but It plays mis
erable tricks If danger accompanies
it, so I'll try to tell you how it seems
to some of us. for a good many
mothers and wives will be sending
soldiers to France, and the more
cheerfully they part with them the
better soldiers they'll be and the
more they send the quicker most of
them will return.
'•Now to explain how It feels to
be here, close up on the war. Rela
tively speaking, I'm closer up In the
war than I am in the fighting. I
know little or nothing of the latter.
I've seen some of the results of both
the war and the fighting, I've heard
machine guns cackle and have seen
a few shells explode. Our corps Is
on the whole something like a kid
who gets permission from his mother
to go swimming, but is told not to
go near the water, and I can say
for the battalion that it has much the
same attitude as the youngster in
the example. It's just the old case
of wanting to do the thing that is
forbidden. I have some Ideas re
garding the training of 'Little Peg'
(to be), based on my experience with
this longing. Anyway, our work
doesn't take us to the trenches, but.
I've talked with quite a few dough
boys who have experienced those
things which have been forbidden to
us. They all agree that there la no
place like home, but they are a
cheerful. happy, well-fed-looking
bunch and are able to inoculate
their hard knocks and danger with
an uncanny amount of wit and en
joyment. and, strarifce to say. they
don't hold themselves up as heroes
and look down on we chapa who
don't 'take' shrapnel with our cof
fee. They are modest, unassuming,
grinning, real chaps, whose chief de
sire seems to be to capture a Hun for
a sort of souvenir. They are de
cidedly in earnest, though, and keep
a continual .tension on their leash.
Americans are going to be thought
of in other terms than dollars and
cents after the war.
"All the Coover family and you.
too, Peg. know the appearance and
a little of the ways of France, so it
won't be as though Carson and I ]
(when he gets lere) were, say, in an
African Jungle, which you would
have difficulty in 'picturing. We
have the same old sun as you have
(when it shows up) and when it
rains—well, it helps to keep your
face clean. To me French ways and
people were new. I thought I knew i
the inoon wasn't made out of green
cheese and *ll that sort of thing be
fore I cam* over here. Some cus
toms gave me a feeltng auch as Dr.
Mudge might experience at a bur
lesque. but quite a number of their
stunts also seem in a way more sen
sible than our way of performing
them. The French people, as a
whole, have three smiles for every
sigh—a saving grace just now.
"To wind up, I'll say I haven't met
the man who has the slightest doubt
of the Kaiser's ultimate defeat if our
peace-making Individuals don't get
the upper hand. The general feeling
here is 'let's finish the Job while we
are here, so we don't have to come
back later." I second the motion.
The Army Is fed much better than
at camp at Monmouth and well sup
plied. It's a real job, considering all
the details and speed and distance,
and a decidedly smoother-operating
piece of machinery than I expected
•to see developed in a year. Army
life is luxurious these days in com
parison with the tales of Civil War
and Spanish-American War misman
agement. The Medical Department
all through. including hospitals,
would be a treat for Father Coover
and I'll bet my last sou it's a treat
he'd appreciate and Jump at the
chance of Its being made available.
"Gee, I'm sleepy. I'm troubled
with an inarticulate brain (that's
not sense, is it. Peg?) even when
I'm awake: but when I get sleepy—
"Write folks.
"With love,
• "HENRY.,,

COAL TO BE CUT
FROM PUNTS NOT
DOING WAR WORK
Sixty Million Tons to Be
Slashed Erom Needs
at Once
Wellington, June 11.—Sixty mil
lion tonq of bituminous coal will he
taken from the non-war Industries
to keep the war Industries running
full steam ahead and save the coun
try from national disaster.
This unqualified statement was
made yesterday by Dr. Harry A. Gar
field, fuel administrator, in announc
ing the complete program of en
forced conservation that will be put
into effect Immediately.
Every industry that is not turning
out war supplies will have to cut
down on its consumption pro rata;
some must either convert their fa
cilities to war production or cease
operation; every public utility will be
affected; every hotel, office building,
theater and household will be com
pelled to enter upon a period of
rigid economy. The program will
reach not only Into the large fac
tories using thousands of tons of
coal, but into houses and hotels
which will be ordered to cut down
on such things as the number of
electric light bulbs in use.

West Shore coal dealers have been
given a scale of prices for the com

impossible to establish a uniform

account of the widely-located dealers,
the Fuel Administration has advised
dealers to follow as nearly as pos
sible the scale submitted to them.
The official statement received by
dealers follows:
"No official schedule of prices has
been issued, but one of the dealers
submitted for our examination the
following schedule of prioes, which
we believe applies to the dealers of
New Cumberland, and
Knola, where the freight rates are
the same:
