Flag Day to Have
New Significance in
Great Celebration
\( York, .lune 13. The same
flag which floats over Cantigny and
over the battlefield of Chateau
Thierry will fly with a new glory
to-morrow from the flagpoles of
every city and every crossroads in
the United States .when the whole
nation joins in the celebration of
Flag Hay. It is the one hundred and
forty-first birthday of the Stars and
Stripes, and never before lias the an
niversary been charged with a great
er significance.
For this reason the day will re
ceive wider observance than ever be
fore. In every community, in every
munitions plant, every sehoolhouse,
and every gathering place of patri
otic citizens there will be a special
ceremony of unfurling the flag.
Many organizations which never had
flags before will dedicate new ones
with songs and speeches and pledges
of allegiance, according to the pro
grain suggested liy the Federal gov
ernment.

"Bury Traitors, Don't
Intern Them," Say
Colonel Roosevelt
Indianapolis, June 13.—President
William Lowe Bryan, of the Univer
sity of Indiana, bestowed a new
name upon Colonel Theodore Roose
velt yesterday. It is Acteseah, an
Indian name meaning "the man out
in front, the man unafraid."
"This nation," said the Colonel,
"will have to pay a heavy price in
blood as it already, has paid in treas
ure. for its failure to prepare
against war, but it will come out im
measurably better because it has
fought it. We will come out with a
unified nationalism. It needed some
thing like it to bring us back to our
true selves.
"There are not many things I
would copy Germany in. but I would
adopt her method of treating alien
enemies and spies. Let us treat any
man acting in the interests of Ger
many as Germany would treat men
found within her borders working
against her interests. We have car
ried good nature to the limit. From
now on any man who attacks us or
our allies or stands up for Germany
should be interned at once—intern
ed. unless his case is serious. It is
serious, don't stop to intern them
—bury them."
Rich and influential men who ob
tain safe places in the service for
their sons also came in for the Col
onel's attention.
"I despise a slacker, but I despise
a 'slicker' more," said he, explaining
that a "slicker" is one who uses the
uniform to shield him from all dan
ger.
Tiny Acrobats Register
Names as Enemy Aliens
Philadelphia.—United States Mar
shal Noonan looked up from his
desk and saw two boyish faces peer
ing over the top at him. Thinking
they were messengers, he said "Well,
boys, what do you want?"
"If you please," came the reply,
with just a trace of an accent, "we
wish to register"
"Register for what? Why, chil
dren don't have to register." But he
was too startled to continue, as he
beheld the hand on one "boy" come
above the top of the desk clasping
a full-grown cigar, while the other
one raised a cigaret to his mouth.
Still mystified, the marshal stood up
and gazed at the two figures. Before
him stood two mannish little indi
viduals, fashionably dressed in
tailor-made suits with long trousers.
"We are aliens, and wish to report
to the marshal," said the two men
in one voice. The marshal then pro
ceeded to take the following data:
Name, Herman Kalversberg; born,
Germany; age, 27 years; height, 4
feet; weight, 65 pounds. His com
panion's name was Herman Seheibe,
and answered to the same descrip
tion except that he is 30 years old.
They gave their occupation as acro
bats and are now filling an engage
ment at a local theater.
PRESSURE AT WASHINGTON"
TO INTERVENE IN RUSSIA
Washington, June 13.—Rumors of
Allied intervention in Russia con
tinue. Men usually well informed as
sert that it is only a question of days
before intervention is decided upon,
with the approval of this govern
ment. It is impossible to tell how
much of this "Inside information" is
propaganda, directed toward the end
of securing the administration's ap
proval of intervention, for there is
undoubtedly a strong effort being
made just now to secure the adop
tion of a constructive policy toward
Russia. .This effort will reach a
climax in a few days.

Nurses Who Lo
When Army Calls Scored
Rich Who Engage Trained Women and Keep Them! at
Home Are Said to Be Not Patriotic
of Harrisburg. wake up!
"This is the plea from the Harris
burg Red Cross, voiced to-day by
Mrs. Jean B. Chamberlain, chair
man of the local chapter qommittee
for extension of tne Red Cross
nursing service, and supplemented
mightily by Miss Frances Scott, su
perintendent of the Harrisburg Hos
pital Training School For Nurses. It
did not need the forceful utterance
of William Howard Taft saying that
"nurses are as necessary as in
fantry and artillery to win the war"
to call forth this message from
Harrisburg workers. Since the very
start of hostilities they have done
everything in their power to stir up
the women to the necessity of sacri
fice in this activity." Next to man
power the nursing necessity is the
great question of this hour" declared
Mrs. Chamberlain a week ago, and
Miss Scott, the dynamo of Harris
burg Hospital, expressed herself to
day with: "We have plenty of nurses,
but they are staying home loafing
and taking life easy. They are the
most contemptible of slackers and I
am glad to know that they will pres
ently be identified as such by chev
rons which the Red Cross will award
to nurses who are in service."
"The rich are not doing their
patriotic duty," set forth Mrs.
Chamberlain. "in holding these
highly trained women for private
service. It is a shame and disgrace
that in this city old men and women
have two trained nursas to look
after them when these nurses are
needed so terribly by wounded Amer
ican soldiers abroad. One trained I
nurse can look after 50 wounded i
men in an Army hospital and thous- j
ands of such are being held in Amer
ica, many right here in Harrisburg, j
by selfish persons whose families
should look after them in such a I
fearful crisis as this."
With many thousands of Amer- ]
ican troops arriving at the front
each week and the possibility of a
five years war the situation is para

help for the Red Cross nursing
equipment; training of high school
girls in the service, thus continu
ing their technical education and
acquiring a splendid profession with
comparatively no expense; the ur
gency of sending American women
to take care of American soldiers in
French hospitals, especially nurses
who can speak some French; the
need for girls to help in Red Cross
canteens which are being rapidly
established at railroad junctures and
at reconstructed villages. Attention
is called to the important feature
that the Red Cross is ready to
finance any volunteer who has not
the means herself.
Harrisburg has been no laggard so
far in furnishing help of this sort
and the Telegraph is able to-day to
print a roster of the roll of honor
up-to-date. First come the women
who went out in earlier days of the
war and these include: Miss I.
Kelchner, Blanche Flester. Anna
Falk, Luella Davis, Adelaide Saltz- !
man, Molly Thompson, Dessa Fry,!
Mrs. R. A. Wood, Dessa Kissel,
Esther Laubenstein, Mrs. Graybill, j
Miss Miller, Miss Fanny Ogelsby, '
Miss Backenstoss, Harrisburg; Ella'
Brown, Clearfield; Olive Reed, New-!
castle.
Next on the honor roll are those
nurses who volunteered and were 1
assigned by the Red Cross to serv- j
ice here: Miss Dora Josephson, Eve- |
lyn Minerva Martin, Mary
Shaneman, M. Verdier, Miss Clausen,
Polyclinic, and Miss Scott herself.
These are all efficient teachers and
will be ready to instruct the new
volunteers who are expected to re
spond when the needs of the Red
Cross are understood. It may be said
here that Miss Scott was instru
mental in getting the Hickok and Dr.
Parks residences in Front street for
a nurses home and that now a vol
unteer nurse who intends to take the
three-year course and thus release
a qualified nurse for immediate serv
ice, will have real home surround
ings.
When the recent call came for
nursea. first to enroll here were five
out of nine in the 1918 graduating
class, certainly o fine record: Miss
Ruth Nyquist and Anna Frits, city;
Blanche Oyler, Gettysburg; Mary
Wolfe. Highspire, and Lowllla Sny
der, Duncannon.
In addition to these there enrolled:
Miss Frances Simmers. Cora Willis,
Miss M. Miller, Josephine Weiler,
Naomi Hoffmeister, Marguerite
Hark, Amanda Geistwhite, Miss S.
E. Beaver, of Harrisburg. and Viola
Marry, of Clearfield. And Just re
cently a "home defense" quota has
been started which at present con
sists of Miss Keller. Mrs. Keffer,
Mrs. Charles Mitchell, Mrs. Harry
Steel and Mrs. Clara R. Snyder. It
!is hoped that every woman with
nursing experience will come into
this quota speedily for local disasters
are likely at any time. In event of
such a catastrophe, the hospital
would be badly off, for it has only
half the number of rooms necessary
to accommodate the demand. Indeed,
this war crisis proves that Harris
burg very shortly must improve its
hospital equipment, for it is now
sadly inadequate.
Many Opportunities Opened
If any girl believes that she will
be wasting her time in this patriotic
service. Miss Scott can disallusionize
her very promptly. "The opportuni
ties lor an expert nurse with three
years training after the war will be
unlimited, "she pointed out to-day.
"There will be many jobs in public
health activities, in school nursing,
in tuberculosis establishments, for
visiting nurses, in teaching work; in
structing and in industrial work. An
efficient nurse need have no fear of
making a good living."
At the present tiipe 8,000 Red
Cross nurses are on active military
duty and 2 5,000 will be needed by
January 1. The minimum salary for
service is SSO at home and S6O
abroad with all maintenance, anu
special salaries for special service.
Miss Scott points out. as emphasized
in a letter received from Luella
Davis, who is at Camp Lee, that the
hours in camp work are only eight,
while a private nurse frequently
works twenty out of the twenty-four.
Four big Philadelphia hospitals have
offered their schooling to volunteer
nurses from this district and Har
risburg hospital can take care, right
now, of fifteen. The campaign for
nurses' aids is almost as im
portant, and any girl who is inspired
to help save her nation in this death
struggle should communicate with
Mrs. Chamberlain, at Red Cross

President For Place
in Battle on Germany
Philadelphia, June 13. Anxious to
get out and fight for their country.
Inmates of the Eastern State Peniten
tiary have sent a letter of appeal to
President Wilson. It was handed Mrs.
John M. Gates, of 2030 Locust street,
on one of her weekly visits to the
prison. She did notjtnow the men
had decided to make this plea to the
President, but she gladly promised to
take it to Washington and present it
to him. in person, if possible.
The inmate leading the movement
will be free In August, but he said |
yesterday he is making this effort for >
the benefit of the other men. Several
hundred of them were drilling in the
yard, all looking to the time when
they. too,_ can be "allowed to take
their places on the firing line," as one
man puts it, "to wipe out in blood if
need be their dishonor of the past."
Warden Robert J. McKenty is
heartily behind the movement to give
the right sort of prisoners a chance
to help Uncle Sam, and hopes the bill,
which will be presented t the Legis
lature at its next session, providing
for the giving of conditional pardons,
may go through. The inmates of his
penitentiary recently contributed J
nearly $4,000 to the War Chest, all
earned from work done while serving
their term.
The letter written to President Wil
son is signed by the war service com
mittee. in the appeal the petitioners
say:
"We beg leave to tender to you,
by the hand of a most faithful and
sincere friend, Mrs. Jane Gates, our
humble petition that you do exert
your undoubted great powers In the
securing for us of some part and par
cel in the world's battle for human
rights and freedom.
"The deprivation of our liberties we
fel, but we find it difficult to believe
that our follies nnd crimes of the
past, however grave, must forever de
prive us of the right to work or fight
and die—if need be—for the country
of our birth or our adoption anil
whose welfare we still hold dearer
than all else."

these counties. Dauphin county must
follow suit.
Under this agreement each of the
two counties will pay fifty per cent,
of the cost per mile, the state divid
ing the expense with them. The esti

. A War-Time Request
from "Information"
THOUSANDS of times each day our
"Information" operators are asked for
telephone numbers which are listed cor
rectly in the telephone directory.
Calls to "Information" require greater
service on the part of the operator, more
time, and a more extended general use of
telephone equipment, than any other form
of local calls.
Great activity in business has brought about
tremendously enlarged , volumes of tele
phone calling and demands for telephone
service; telephone users will assist in han
dling this war-time load if they will ask for
"Information" only after they have looked
carefully in the directory for the number.
Then the facilities required in handling the
unnecessary information calls may be applied
to care for the increasing volumes of im
portant messages. Telephone service and
communication are vital today; don't call
"Information" unless you absolutely have
to and thus help us as we serve!
