Tell How Five Enemy Sub
marines Went Under
An Atlantic Port, July s.—Destruc
tiop In European waters of five Ger
man submarines by British transports
and by American and British de
stroyers convoying them, was de
scribed by passengers who arrived
here yesterday on an English 'liner.
The transports, one of which was
carrying 7,000 American soldiers to
Europe, accounted for three of the
U-boats, and the destroyers sunk the
other two, according to the voyagers.
Officers of the liner confirmed their
stories.
The passengers witnessed the tor
pedoing of the 5,436-ton British
freighter Orissa, which was part of
their convoy, when the fleet was ap
proximately a day out, steaming west
from the British Isles. The Orissa,
bound in ballast for the United
States, was sent to the bottom by
an unseen submarine. A moment
later, however, an American de
stroyer in the protecting fleet, de
tected the undersea boat below the
surface and dropped a depth bomb,
making a direct hit, according to the
story related here. The same even
ing a U-boat was sighted by the pas
senger vessel, whose gunners sank It
by shell tire.
The other three submarines were
destroyed, according to the returned
travelers, on the eastward trip of an
other convoy. They declared that a
large British transport, with 7.000
American troops aboard, rammed a
submersible fc-hich was revealed with
two others in the sudden lifting of a
heavy fog. Almost simultaneously
with the disappearance of the first
submarine beneatl the transport's
bow. the big ship's gunners account
ed for another of the German craft,
while a British destroyer disposed of
the third.

Orders Are Imperative
The letter received by traction
company officials late Wednesday
from Mr. Cole contains imperative
orders to the local companies to re
port at once their plans to him. It is
as follows:
"It Is imperative that the inaugu
ration of the skip-stop system be
made effective in Pennsylvania not
later than July 13. It is the present
intention of the administration to
institute the skip-stop system
throughout the state on that day.
You will, therefore, speed the pro
gram as rapidly as possible so as to
be ready to eliminate the stops at
the same time other companies will.
"The necessity for saving coal is
Incoming more important daily, and
you will impress upon the people of
your community that the skip-stop
system, while causing a great deal of
personal inconvenience, is the wisest
possible method that can be taken
in transportation circles to save fuel.
"May I suggest that you frankly
tell the newspapermen that either
the skip-stop system must become
effective at once, or a general reduc
tion in the number of cars now oper
ating will be the only alternative for
the administration to take.
"Refusal on the part of any com
pany, municipality or any other or
ganization to permit the institution
of the skip-stop system will result in
drastic federal action to save fuel.
"Street railway companies, either
directly or through their county
chairmen, are required to furnish
this office with the following infor
mation: Number of stops eliminat
ed; estimated monthly tonnage
saved: saving in running time of
cars, together with any other infor
mation that may be of value to this
administration"

SCHWAB DOOMS
KAISER IN FIRST
SPEECH AS CHIEF
Number of Ships Launched at
San Francisco Greatest
in Country's History
U. S. ANSWERS
THE COMMON FOE
Snn Krnnrlaeo, July s—Charles
M. Schwab, Director General of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation,
launched twelve vessels from his
own yards In this district yester
day and directed the launching of
Ave more from other yards.
Eight of the twelve vessels con
structed In Mr. Schwab's plants
were destroyers. Four were freight
vessels, one of which, the Defi
ance. was constructed in thirty
seven days—a world's record.
"This is the answer of the
American workingman to the com
mon foe," Mr. Schwab told the as
sembled thousands as the big Defi
ance parted the waters of the
Oakland estuary.
Uashlncton. July 5. America's
merchant fleet, grown to 10,040,659
gross tons by the construction of
1,622 new ships of 1,430,793 tons In
the fiscal year ended June 30, was
augmented yesterday by the unpre
cedented launching of about 100
ships.
The feat of the loyal army of
workmen which made the launcji
ings possible received due recog
nition from the highest officials di
recting the war activities of the
nation.
Sn Francisco, July s. —"lf you
stand up to your Job, we'll make the
Kaiser take his medicine lying
down."
That was the message delivered to
the shipworkors here yesterday by
Charles M. Schwab, director general
of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, in the first public speech he
has delivered since taking charge of
the shipbuilding program.
(Mr. Schwab was speaking at the
Independence Day launching of mer
chant ships here, which was part of
the national program in which prob
ably a hundred ships—and possibly
more —were being sent from the
ways to the seas from yards all over
the country.
"I venture to predict that the
number of ships launched to-day is
the greatest record of launchings for
a single day in the history of the
world," said Mr. Schwab.
Germans Will Learn Much
"When the truth percolates to the
German people they will know that
their leaders have deceived them;
that Americans have their sleeves
rolled up and we have our fighting
blood up; that we are going to win
this war if it takes the last man,
the last ounce of strength, the last
resource and the last dollar that this
country possesses.
"You and all the other shipbuild
ers have dedicated your service to
America. We stand firm, determined
and unafraid before the naked truth
that we must defeat Germany or
Germany will defeat us. Wars are
not won altogether on the battle
lield. Do not think for one minute
that the Prussian generals are un
moved by what we are accomplish
ing. They know that we launched a
5,500-ton ship in twenty-seven days
from the time the Jceel was laid
over in Camden, N. J. Thpit was a
tremendous accomplishment never
before approached in any country
and it was a blow in the face of
Prussian confidence. Our enemy
knows, too, that it is the workmen
over here who are making these
things possible; that the men in the
shipyards are working day and night
—determined, untiring and enthusi
astic; that they are. backing up the
boys fn the trenches. The Kaiser
knows that with the united backing
of the American workmen, American
armies can never' be beaten. The
credit for winning this war will be
shared equally bv the workmen of
America and the fighters of Amer
ica. The best captains and colonels
in our shipbuilding army cannot
build ships without the strong
armies of the privates, corporals
and sergeants. The heater boy to
day is a young hero who deserves a
place alongside the drummer boy in
that picture you have seen so often
—'The Spirit of '76.'
"We have a great army of work
ers building ships for this emer
gency. There are 300,000 of us,
and we are all fighting for America.
"V ou men who swing the cranes are
in charge of the big guns. You who
drives the rivets are operating the
machine guns of the shipyard. Every
man who does a full day's work is
doing his share to win the war. The
gangs at work on a ship are holding
a trench and when they launch that
ship they go over the top. When
they lay a new keel they are dig
ging in and making ready for an
other long defense.
Have U-Boats on Ituu
"Every time we launch a cargo
or troop ship or tanker we add to
the certainty that German subma
rines cannot win this war. Already
we have the U-boats on the run and
if we keep up the pace we will have
them beaten by next year. And
when we achieve this victory it
will be you who will deserve the
credit. So far as I am concerned,
and so far as Mr. Hurley is con
cerned, and, I am sure, so far as the
President of the United States is
concerned, you will get the credit.
Germany's only hope now. If it
can be called a hope, is to win this
war by great military victories. Ger
many knows that we are building
ships and getting a real army across
the Atlantic. The Kaiser is making
his supreme effort now in the
knowledge that America will soon
he started and will stay in the war
until It is won. If we complete our
shipbuilding program they will know
over in Germany that not a shred of
hope remains. Can we complete It?
Can we build these ships in time to
keep our bridge to France un
broken? That is a Question for you
men in the shipyards to answer.
America has never lost a war and
ehe Is not going to lose this one.
"To-day we are building ships
faster than the submarine can de
stroy them. our Navy
under Josephus Daniels Is destroy
ing submarines. The German hordes
may. make some advances on the
western front, but are we down
hearted? No! Our army in France
and our shipbuilding army at home
are getting into their full stride and
we will ship them if it takes every
thing we have. We must get the
men and the guns and the airships
over. More and more men must go
over, and more guns and rifles and
motor trucks—rails, clothing and
horses—but the whole Job depends
upon you. I for one have every con
fidence that you will do the job and
do it right.
How the Work Counted
"Now you wonder naturally how
your work has counted. Let me tell
you. In 116 the shipyards in Amer
ica turned out 216.602 deadweight
tons of shipping. The next year our
BIG NAVAL BASE
DESTROYED; FIRE
STIRS SUSPICION
Sewells Point Barracks Is
Wiped Out as Sailors
Parade
Cape May, N. J., July s.—Sewell's
Point section base, the headquarters
for the Fourth Naval District sub
marine patrol fleet, which came Into
prominence recently when the
U-boats were raiding the Atlantic
coast, was completely destroyed by
fire under suspicious circumstances.
The loss, estimated at upward of
<200,000, includes the most complete
equipment of navel store.? on the
New Jersey coast. Two enlisted men
were overcome by smoke and many
acts of heroism in saving powder
and gasoline for the scout patrol
boats were recorded.
Captain Frederick Haake, in tom
mand, at noon began a cross-exami
nation o fthe 800 officers and men
enlisted men connected with the stu
tion, and aided by Secret Service
men, tho authorities investigated
every clue that pointed to, incendiar
ism.
Firemen first on the scene Said
they found pieces of oil-soaked rope,
partly consumed, near the burned
buildings, and spectators said the
fire apparently began in four differ
ent parts of the station at the same
time. A third factor that might have
aided enemies was the absence of
nearly all the sailors, who were pa
rading downtown in a Fourth of July
pageant. The station was almost
deserted, it was said.
Firemen Delayed Half an Hnnr
The fire was discovered shortly af
ter 10.30 o'clock. Within a fev
minutes the entire station was at
sheet of flame.
Host of German Aces
Have Fallen This Year
Urltiah lfrmlquartera in France,
July 5. Germany lias lost many
star pilots in the bitter air lighting
that has raged with Intensity this
year. At least fourteen enemy aces,
who were each credited with twenty
or more victories and whose aggre
gate successes had totaled 363, are
known to have been killed or cap
tured. •
Among these famous airmen were
Captain Baron von Richthofen, who.
it is said, had shot down eighty al
lied planes; Lieutenant Max Muller,
whose score was thirty-eight; Lieu
tenant Bulow. whose record was
twenty-eight; Captain Tvscheck and
Lieutenant WusthofT, both of whom
had marked up iwenty-seven. and
Lieutenant Louzer, who is said to
have accounted for twenty-four En
tente airplanes.
Many other leading pilots from the
Kaiser's force, whose reputations
were almost as great as those named,
have lost their lives or are In prison
camps.
American Troops in Italy
Established in Own Camp
Rome, July s.—The first contin
gent of American troops to arrive in
Italy has, within forty-eight h6urs,
established itself in camp. The men
are sleeping under their own tents
and feeding from their own kitchen,
which was provided by the American
Red Cross before the men started.
TKe rapidity of the mobilization
to their new quarters has created a
most favorable impression. ! The
Americans are in fine spirits an(i ex
cellent health, but the Red Cross
will within a week establish a "com
plete hospital near the camp, j
I output jumped to 526,847 tons. In i
1917 the hot pace continued until |
we nearly doubled the output the j
previous year, completing a total of
901,223. We thought we were build
ing ships, with almost a rfiillton
deadweight tons of finished viessels,
but I am confident now that if we
pull together and every man st&ya on
the job, we will produce more than
three million deadweight tons in
1918—the greatest output of any na
tion in th world in a single year.
"I think that we can point with
some pride to May of this year, when
we not only launched but completed
| 263,000 tons of shipping—more than
was turned out in the entire year
of 1915. Five years ago, if you had
been told that this country would
produce 263,000 tons of shipping in
a single month, you would not have
believed it, but that is a mere be
ginning of the task that lies before
>ou men in th eshipyards.
"There is one thing that we need
if we hope to reach our maximum
capacity of production and that is a
friendly rivalry between the yards.
I have tried to encourage that be
cause I know that competition is
I dear to American hearts and I know
that you will respond to a challenge.
Now we are going to recognize a
shipyard that surpasses all others in
actual production each month. A
blue flag which this yard will be au
thorized to fly from its flagstaff will!
be a tnark of national recognition.
will be in the shipbuilding field
'what an award for distinguished
service is on a battlefield. Red and
white flags will be presented for sec
ond and third places. Any yard
which holds first place for three con- I
secutlve months will have signal
honors, for it will be authorized to
fly this championship blue pennant
permanently from its flagstaff.
"Now there are many men in the
shipyards who feel a sense of em
barrassment because, with their
country at war and liberty in dan
ger, they are not in the uniform of
the Army or the Navy. I want to
say that these men, if they are ship
builders, and belong in the yards,
are entitled to just as much, recogni
tion and just as much honor as the
brave boys on the sea or in the
trenches. And It is to give you ship
yard workers such recognition that
the Government has determined
upon the awarding of service badges
to the men who give fou months'
service to the Government in the
shipyards at building ships, and bars
for additional length of service. With
these service badges you can walk
through our crowds, meet the boys
of the Navy and Army and hold your
head high. To sacrifice one's life for
one country is, of course, the su
preme sacrifice, but In this war the
highest duty is to serve wjiere your
Government tells you to serve.
Meda's For Service
••We are going to give splclal gold
and stiver medals for unusual service
in the shipyards We feel that there
should be some way of recognizing
the man who does a great 'thing for
his country in wartime. Grat things
are being done to-day in the ship
yards. Every one of you has a
chance to win honors in this great
fight In the American shipyards
against the submarines—a battle of
construction against destruction.
"There is nothing that I will not
sacrifice to help in winning this war.
and I know that there is nothing
you will not sacrifice. Put punch
in your work and we'll put over the
program. If you stand up to your
Job, we'll make the Kaiser take his
medicine lying down."
MEN OF EVERY RACE PLEDGE
THEMSELVES TO UNITED STATES
Thousands Upon Thousands Pledge Their Loyalty; Massed
Choirs Lead Great Song Festival
Scenes in the Capitol Park where
the crowds massed for community
singing and to repeat the pledge of
loyalty were probably the most im
pressive patriotic demonstrations of
the day. Thousands upon thousands
with' practically every nationality
represented, were gathered in front
of the main entrance to the Capitol.
A word from Abner W. Hartman
and the Municipal Band started one
of the national anthems. A volume
of song from the throats of the mul
titude gradually Increasing to all
parts of the grounds in the vicinity
of the band followed, and every
where was carried on. As the peo
ple in the park were singing many
thousands more scattered over miles
of the city's streets were carrying on
similar refrains, bands were playing
martial airs and countless thousands
! lined along the sidewalks and streets
echoed within themselves a patriotic
fervor never before aroused to such
i pitch.
After singing .several of the pa
triotic songs of the United States
and her Allies, Judge S. J. M. Mc-
Carrell came forward and. standing
before the great assemblage, he ask
ed them all to repeat the American
creed. In a brief address he praised
the people who helped to make the
great Americanization parade such a
big success and then began repeat
ing the creed. With bared heads
thousands of foreign-born citizens,
Refusal to Doff Hats While
National Anthem Is Played
Cause For Several Near-Riots
Respect for the National Anthem!
This was one lesson learned yester
day by some indifferent persons who
will observe in the future unless
helpless in the hospital. The first In
cident recorded happened during the
parade when the P. R. R. boys were
halted and a band played the "Star
Spangled Banner."
"Why don't, you take off your hat
and show some respect," demanded
one of the marchers of a spectator
who only grinned sourly.
"That's my hat, and I'll do what
I like with it." said he.
"You'll take It off if you're a loyal
American," said the Pennsy husky
and with that he swung his flag and
knocked off the offending chapeau,
which rolled out In t,he line of parade
and was trampled to smithereens
while the crowd roared its approval.
A second striking illustration of
lack of observance for the national
anthem occurred in Reservoir Park
last evening when an apathetic man
escorted a lively, responsive-looking
girl to a seat near the bandstand.
When the national anthem sounded
every person In the entire audience
arose, excepting this benighted
swain. The girl tried to make him
get up and real Americans near by
sympathized with her efforts. But
the yokel, who was immediately
stamped as pro-German, kept glued
to the bench.
"He is not a true American,"
shouted a big man, leaping to the
spot, and another man, equally mus
cular, joined in. The two grabbed
the slacker antf walked him Span
Noted as the Parade Passed
—Three generations of the Bow
man family marched in yesterday's
parade, John K. Bowman heading
the store section, J. William Bow
man being marshal of the division
and James K. Bowman, son of J.
William, lining up with his grand
father and his uncle aHrrJ- Bowman.
—Senator E. E. Beidleman, one
of the aids to the chief marshal,
thought so much of yesterday's cele
bration that he declined an invita
tion to speak In Pittsburgh in order
to remain at home and participate
in Harrlsburg's Fourth of July cele
bration, both as a marcher and a
speaker.
—William H. Bennethum, Jr., who
has been ill for some time, saw the
parade from his North Second street
residence. He must have been
highly pleased with Dives, Pomeroy
apd Stewart delegation, the gjrls of
whom made a splendid showing with
their "Blue Devil" tamoshanters.
The store had one of the largest and
most picturesque representations in
line.
—The Harrisburg Automobile
Company had In line a tractor pull
ing a haywagon In which rode a
party of youngsters, showing the
close association between the trac
tor and the farm.
—Banners carried in the foreign
born division caused much favorable
comment and at times the thou
sands along the sidewalks applaud
ed. Some of the inscriptions were:
"We are Rumanians by birth but
Americans by choice"; "There are 75
Greeks in Harrisburg. 15 in the
Army."
—The Liberty Bell carried by four
young girls was another feature of
the foreign-born division. In addi
tion to these young girls there were
many other children in line, some
of them only tots.
—The Hebrew section in the first
division carried banners declaring
themselves forever willing to fight
for freedom and democracy. Ap
plause and cheers greeted them at
many points along the route.
—Thousands of persons were fa
vorably impressed with the co-op
eration of motorists, who kept their
automobiles off the route of the pa
rade. The Boy Scouts who furnished
drinking cups and water to many of
those in line also attracted atten
tion and brought praise for them
selves. '
—The Grand Army veterans In 25
automobiles added much to the lm
presslveness of the parade. They
were given ovations everywhere and
certainty showed their appreciation
of the patriotic demonstration.
—Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Spanish-American War Veterans
and the City Grays contributed much
to the historic features of the pa
rade as Illustrations of the record
of the United States In years
gone by.
Flags of practically every allied
nation were right out in front in the
glorious pageant. Round after
round of applause greeted them as
they were carried by Zembo Patrol
of tho Mystic Shrine down th
k street with measured tread and beat.
all eager to show their loyalty to the
American government, participated
in this great demonstration, un
doubtedly the most patriotic one ever
given in Harrisburg. So anxious were
many of these that Judge McCarrell
barely had finished part of a sen
tence when they caught it up and
were repeating it:
"1 believe in the United States of
America, as a government of the
people, by the people and for the
people,"—these words it i seemed,
touched the hearts of those many
foreign-born people for their re
sponse to it came as a surging chant
of liberty. Men, women and children
repeated it In reverent tones.
And as the pledge of loyalty was
finished, one man, ylth a decidedly
foreign accent, whispered, "Thank
God for America," as he wiped tears
from hia eyes.
With the opening bars of the
"Star Spangled Banner," almost as
one hats were removed and once
again the thousands sang their loy
alty to the starry flag of freedom.
A touching scene of the devotion
of the children of foreign-born citi
zens occurred during the singing,
boys and girls ranging in age from
6 to 20 all joining.
Scattered over the stretches of
lawn in the park were a number of
ba'nds, many of them playing pa
triotic numbers as they marched to
1 the grounds.
ish all the way to Market street,
where he landed minus most of his
raiment, while a great crowd yelled
to "treat him rougher."
Before repeating the American
Creed Judge McCarrell said:
"Some of us here were born be
neath other skies than these, but no
matter from what land we came we
are here to-day as American citizens,
grateful for the blessings we here
enjoy and loyal to Its principles. We
have a government of which we are
proud; we believe in Its principles
and we now desire to state those
principles anew. I will repeat the
Creed of every loyal American citi
zen, sentence by sentence, and I ask
that you follow me by repeating the
words I use."
(Pledge was then repeated in this
way and the audience responded).
At the close of the pledge Judge
McCarrell said:
"To the defense of these principles
let us here and now In the language
of those who .adopted the original
Declaration 'pledge our lives', our
fortunes and our sacred honor.' "
Battalion Refused
to Brave Our Fire
WahlnKton, July S. —An out
standing feature of General Persh
ing's communique 1s his summariza
tion of the story of a German prison
er, taken in the Vaux sector, of how
his battalion, when sent up to count
erattack, met such a withering fire
that they were unable to advance,
and Anally refused even to make the
attempt. Then the men were told to
seek safety.
Twenty-seven Army trucks, mod
els of efficiency, located at the
Marsh Run Ordnance Depot, were
in early divisions of the- parade.
These high-powered machines with
their great capacities left Harris
burg people with at least an inkling
of understanding as to the efficient
manner with which things are being
done In battlefield and camp by the
Americans.
—The Harrisburg freight office
of the Pennsylvania Railroad had a
pleasing float in line in yesterday's
parade. Their big Liberty boat
drew big applause.
—The Elliott-Fisher Company al
ways makes a good appearance in
line and the big delegation got quite
a reception along the line yesterday.
—"Bob" Cahill is an enthusiastic
Harrisburg "booster" and he has in
jected a lot of "pep" into the Har
risburg shoe factory, which showed
up remarkably well in the parade
yesterday.
—George Reinoehl turned out a
fine lot of exchange girls and others.
Nobody knows what a fine lot of
girls the Bell has or how many
heads of departments and other of
ficials make their home here until
they take part In some such affair
as that of yesterday.
—There were upward of sixty
bands in yesterday's parade.
—The new Reserve Mllltla
marched like veterans and received
many plaudits along the line, while
the "Treat'em-rough" Tankers from
Gettysburg gave the spectators an
idea of the fine upstanding type of
men America is sending across to
beat the Kaiser.
—The Blough Manufacturing
Company employes made a gay
showing, dressed as they were in
red, white and blue costumes, and
the building In Relly street, vine
covered and flag decorated, looked
almost as well.
—The Dauphin Electrical Supplies
Company had twenty-five people In
line. Not only that but the family
of John S. Musser, the president,
was in the parade, 100 per cent
strong, even little Frankle manfnllv
trudging the whole distance.
—The Boy Scouts did splendidly
yesterday and many a thirsty pa
rader blessed them for the Ice water
they served so generously all along
the line.
—Rudolph K. Spicer had a big ice
water stand rigged up in front of his
Second street residence whore
thirsty marchers and spectators
alike were regaled.
—The Boy Scout bicycle brigade
did good work keeping the crowds
back and preventing automobiles
from parking on forbidden ground
—' Chris" Hlbler, manager of
Swift & Co.. pulled off the best stunt
in the parade yesterday. He took
the carcass of a hogr on which the
government agents had stamped !n
big red letters. "Condemned by the
U. S." placed It in a hearse, la

Abie Katzen Has a Bad
Hour During the Parade
Five-year-old Able Katren stood
with his mother along Sixth street
near Hamilton yesterday watching
the parade. The music of bands and
the flutter of flags thrilled his ljttle
soul and when a band struck up .the
Russian hymn his small bare feet
kept time to the strains.' While he
listened he saw a small compatriot
dash across Sixth street to get a bet
ter view of the procession. He fol
lowed. His mother did not notice and
little Abe didn't realize the letting go
of the maternal apron strings. Mean
while bands kept playing and flags
responded to the morning breezes.
Tiny Abe watched on. Suddenly he
looked about him. Every face was
strange and he began to cry. Then
he started to walk. As he walked he
wept. In Harris street a Telegraph
reporter found him sobbing as if his
heart would break and learned he
had strayed from- his mother. He
couldn't tell the name of the street
In which he lived and his broken
voice could not make Intelligible
the parental name he tried to say.
The newspaperman took him to the
Good Will enginehouse and got in
communication with the police de
partment. A fellow countryman
across Sixth street, attracted by the
crowd, made his way into the engine
house.
"Why that's little Able Katzen. He
lives at 1130 Wallace street," said the
newcomer. A Good Will fireman
took out a red handkerchief, dried
the little Katzen's tears and led him
comforted away to his home. An
hour in the tot's Fourth of July pro
gram had been given over to weep
ing, but he had learned the lesson of
not leaving the mother wing too
early.
Printers Entertained
After Big Demonstration
Following their participation in
yesterday's parade, employes of the
State Printery were tendered a
luncheon by J. L. L. Kuhn, printer
to the State of Pennsylvania. The
1 affair, held in the State Printery
plant, was given in honor of the
twenty men who have enlisted for
active service and those who are to
leave in the near future. About 150
people were present.
Philip S. Moyer, city solicitor,
made a spirited address, urging loy
alty and support of the war. Several
department heads followed with ad
dresses, voicing the appreciation of
the employes for the kindness of Mr.
Kuhn.
The room was attractively deco
rated with the national colors. Flags
of the allied nations were displayed.
The New Cumberland band played a
number of selections and the affair
closed with dancing.
Rumanians Make Fine
Showing in Demonstration
"Rumanians by birth, Americans
by choice," was the legend emblaz
oned on a big banner carried at the
head of a Rumanian unit in the big
parade. Twelve Rumanian women
and nineteen Rumanian men inarched
In the unit, wearing their native cos
tumes. The unit added a picturesque
touch to the demonstration. They
were in charge of George B. Rasa

and when 1 o'clock rolled around
they were ready to eat. The com
mitteeman In charge of them could
not be found and when the Tankers
had stood at attention and helped
in the community singing a hunt
for orders was made. No one was
there to tell them what to do, and
the bugler, who seemed to have a
sense of humor, blew a eaH to hunt
for stragglers. When that did not
produce the missing committeemen
he blew mess call with much feeling.
And finally in despair he blew re
treat and taps. •About that time
Mercer B. Tate was pressed into
service and gave some orders which
started the Tankers on the way to
lunch. It was not hia job, but he did
not stand on ceremony because some
one had slipped a cog.

resumed.
