U.S. SOLDIER IN FRANCE LOVES PIE Gets One "Just Like Mother Used to Make" and Is Happy The Rev. William C. Spicer, form erly of Harrisburg, Is now engaged in T. M. C. A. work in France. He re cently wrote a most interesting letter, to a paper at Gloversville, where he was pastor of a Presbyterian church. In this letter he tells of some_ trips through the country and of trie in teresting work in which he is en gaged. At one time he received 67 letters, showing the demoralization of the mail service to the soldiers on the other side. He describes the attitude of the average soldier in this way: "I find that one passes through several stages of feeling—first an exaltation of enthusiasm, then a depression in th query, 'ls it worth while?' and then in the bull-dog determination to grit your teeth and go through with it." "I would, of course, like to get to the front where there are things doing, and I may get there yet," he ! days. Burden on U. S. Mr. Spicer suggests that the more driving the Huns do the more likely 1 the war will come to an end this year. Further he says: "The burden of this gigantic struggle is going to rest on the United States. Amer ican food and American men are the assets needed for the Balance on the right side." Like most Pennsylvanians, the former Harrisburg boy has not lost his appetite for pie. He says: His Pic Story "A motherly woman in one of our huts met the wish of a soldier who was longing for a pie by saying that if he would bring her the ma terial she would make him one. So the ingredients were brought from the book shack and the lad soon had an apple pie, the kind mother used to make. I should like to have been in on that deal, (that clause is re ferred to elders and deacons for in terpretation.) for I haven't seen a good old-fashioned American pie since I left home. Only when I do get one I want it to be about the diameter of the equator. Even then I may call for a second order." "This Y. M. C. A. work is a great game. Every talent we possess is used to its utmost limit, and then we are called upon to do things that we have never done before, or thought we could do, and we learn to do them by doing them. One of the most encouraging features of the work is the absolute co-operation of all concerned." FIVE OFF TO CAMP Five Harrisburg boys were sent to camp by their local boards to-dav. They are: John O. Losh, 2213 Jeffer son street: Charles Robert Swartz, 1413 Cowden street, and John Newton Heck. 922 North Eighteenth street, of the Third City Board; Wilkins G. Wenrick, 1321 Marion street, and George P. Myers. .208 South street, of the First City Board. Myers, T,r>sh and Swartz go to Spring Garden Institute. Philadelphia: Heck to Delaware State College; Wenrick to Polish National 1 Alliance College. Cambridge Springs. Herman Wieger, of 327 North Front street, Steelton, also goes to Cam bridge Springs. i MONDAY EVENING, Douglas Fairbanks in Newest Artcraft Picture The ever-popular Douglas Fairbanks, one of the most prominent mo tion picture stars In the world, will be seen in "Say.

Fairbanks Portrays Role of Reporter in "Say, Young Fellow" Douglias Fairbanks' new photoplay. "Say, Young Fellow," is described as being, perhaps, the most novel in which he ever has appeared. In this photoplay, which Is at the Regent Theater for a three-day en gagement, starting to-day, portrays the role of a wide-awake, optimistic reporter employed in a small city, who wins distinction by interviewing a millionaire, who not only has never been interviewed before, but who an nounced that he never would submit to repertorial inquisition. How Mr. Fairbanks, known as "the young fel low," gets to the millionaire and ob tains the story he is after, is said to be a highly interesting development new to modern motion pictures.

Klchard Gordon, like many other high ly respected men, governor of his na tive state and a big man In business and politics, has decided there is no God, because cvarything to him is a case of gamble, a chance. And on a sort of flfty-flfty basis he doubts that there is a God. The hand of the Al mighty intervened in his affairs in a manner which reminded the governor that he was laboring under the wrong impression, and that there is a God, and that He rules all things.
