brate Fall of Bastile on
French National Holiday
Harrisburg yesterday greeted
France with a heart full of "warm
friendship and of devotion to the
grout cause in which the two peoples
are now so happily united."
To give vent to this sincere re
gard tor brave France and '.he
French people, following the rendi
tion of the big Bastile Day program
rt Reservoir Park yesterday after
noon, Mayor Kcister and the Harris-
I'urg people, sent, as fast as tele
graph Wires and cables can carry It,
a message of true appreciation. This
appreciative wire read:
"To Raymond Poincaire, President
of the Republic of France, Paris,
France:
"The citizens of Harrisburg, Penn
sylvania, extend greetings to you:
and through you to our beloved
allies, the brave people of France, on
this, the anniversary of the Fall of
Bastile.
Threatening weather did not damp
righteous cause!
"THE MAYOR AND CITIZENS OF
lIAJtRISBURG. PA."
Threatening weather did not dam
en the ardor with which Harris
burg observed the "French Inde
pendence Day." in commemoration
of the fall on July 14, 129 years ugo
during the French Revolution, of the
liastile, the dungeon with its spe
cial reservations for the victims of
French autocracy.
Special services in commemora
tion of this happy event in the his
tory of America's sister republic were
held throughout the city. Appro
priate sermons with suitable music
were heard in many .of the city
churches. The decorative scheme
everywhere was wholly in keeping
with tre occasion, with the French
tricolor floating proudly beside the
American Red, White and Blue.
Strains of "The Marseillaise" and
"The Star Spangled Banner" min
gled many times during the day.
Wounded Veteran Speaks
Yesterday's celebration in Harris
burg was the first one on which
July 14 was celebrated with any de
cided spirit. Celebrations, minor ;n
their character, have previously been
held, but with Harrisburgers fight
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
Poilus, and after France's whole
hearted celebration of our own In
dependence Day less than two weeks
ago, Harrisburg yesterday joined
with a deep feeling of appreciation
fof" brave France in the celebration
of the French national holiday yes
terday.
The high point in yesterday's cele
bration wits the Reservoir Park nro
prum. There a special attraction
wus the presence of Captain Jacques
Rouvier, of the French High Com
mission, who delivered a short ad
dress to help bind closer together the
hearts and affairs of the two sister
republics, who broke the shackles of
autocracy within such a few years
of each others. Rain cut short his
talk.
A tremendous welcome was ex
tended this representative of the
war-torn republic, a veteran of many
of the battles in which she is now
engaging. Although only twenty-five
years of age, he saw service at Ver
dun, along the Somme, In the Cham
pagne region, suffered several severe
wounds and lias been decorated sev
eral times.
On lligh French Commission
Skilled in military and diplomatic
affairs, Rouvier was appointed to
ihe French High Commission, in
that capacity he is now in this coun
try helping to cement more solidly
the union of the oldest republics of
Europe and America.
Captain Rouvier wove an interest
ing tale of the significance of Bas
tile Day in France. He told of the
special tribute paid during the past
three years, and this year as well, to
the brave French boys, .many of
them wholly untrained for the brave
efforts they have made to check the
Hun tlood. Germany had been pour
ing division after division into France
since the declaration of war, he said,
but the brave Poilus had met them
ut every Important point.
lluns For War Since 1870
"Germany," he added, "has been
preparing for this war for world
domination ever since her treacher
ous attack on us in 1870. She sud
denly declared war in 1914 on France
and Russia, violated Belgium's neu
trality and began a march on Paris
that left a trail of bloodshed and

horror behind it. Our forces, much
smaller, held as best they could until
English aid came, then we took our
turn at driving.
"But we had not prepared like the
Huns and as a result we were handi
capped greatly. Allied resourceful
ness, however, gradually brought or
der out of chaos and to-day we stand
ready to meet any German attempt
that may be made."
Some details of the preparation
since been made by France to stem
the Hun onslaughts, both In the point
of defense, In recruiting und equip
ping troops, were related by the
Frenchman.
Bishop Delivers Invocation
The program in Reservoir Park
got under way with the invocation by
the Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevitt,
bishop of the Harrisburg diocese of
the Roman Catholic Church. Com
munity singing under the direction
of Abner W. Hartnian. and with in
strumental music furnished by the
MunicipaJ band, featured the early
part of the afternoon program.
The first speaker on the program
was Dr. Thomas Lynch Montgomery,
State Librarian, who was Introduced
by Andrew S. Patterson, president of
the Chamber of Commerce. The in
cidents leading up to and the sign!-'
flcance of the destruction of the Bas
tile were told by Dr. Montgomery.
He spoke of the oppression visited
upon the lower and middle classes
by King Louis XV and the ruling
classes and of the many conspiracies
of the du Barry clique and others,
which tended to aggravate the situ
ation. The final revolt of the French
which resulted in the overthrow of
the Bastile, was pictured by the
speaker as was the breaking of the
600-year-old yoke of oppression
which had so restrained this liberty
loving people for centuries.
Complete Liberty Only
"With the Bastile gone," Dr.;
Montgomery continued, "there was
only one ultimate outcome and that
was complete liberty for the people.
•Autocracy in France was gone for
ever, and except for several spas
modic efforts of the Napoleons, the
thought of it was never revived.
"France followed America," he
added, "in declaring an end to tyran
ny after the men of 1776 had gained
independence with the help of La
fayette and his brave comrades. For
that reason these two republics are
closely allied, their cause having been
a common one from the day at Val
ley Forge, when Washington and
Lafayette met."
After Jupiter Pluvius unloosed the
clouds, cutting short the speech of
Captain Rouvier, one of the pleasing
features of the afternoon, the Muni
cipal band burst forth in the strains
of the "Marseillaise" followed imme
diately by "The Star Spangled Ban
ner."
Churches Observe Day
Many churches of Harrisburg
joined with the people of the French
republic yesterday in celebrating
Bastile Day, the greatest holiday in
the French calendar. Prayer serv-1
ices, thanksgiving meeting, and the
singing of "La Marseillaise" were
features of the day's festivities. How
the enraged French populace de
stroyed the famous old prison, the
stronghold of autocracy for many
centuries, Mar narrated by the min
isters. The French tricolor floated
in the evening breeze side by side
with the Stars and StripiJs.
Dr. George Edward Reed deliv
ered a special Bastile Day sermon at
Grace Methodist Church last night,
telling how the bonds of friendship
between the French and American
nations have been welded. He told
of the tribulations of the French re
public. At Messiah Lutheran Church
the Rev. H. W. A. Hanson led in a
Bastile Day celebration and spoke
on "America's New Confession of
Faith." The Rev. Clayton Albert
Smucker praised the chivalry and
the work of France in his sermon at
Stevens Memorial Methodist
Church.

HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH
CENTRAL
PRISONERS LEAVE BRAVE ACTION
GETTYSBURG JAIL OF AMERICAN
District Attorney of Adams
Co. Captures One of Them
on Road to Harrisburg
Gettysburg. Pa., July 15.—Quite
unexpectedly District Attorney Ray
mond F. Topper was called upon to
play the part of a detective Friday
while on his way by automobile to
Harrisburg. Late the day before
three prisoners escaped from the
county jail, a girl and two men.* The
girl, Mary Morrison, whose home is
in tho South, was captured a short
time after gaining her liberty while
on her way to Emmitsburg. Nothing
was heard df the two men until yes
terday. District Attorney Topper,
with a party of friends, were on their
way to Harrisburg to attend to some
business and just after passing the
little town of Hei<Jlersburgr, about
ten miles from here, a young man
was passed trudging along the road
that Topper thought looked fami
liar t ohim, but said nothing about
it. Just a short distance further pn
trouble developed with the engine
and the driver stopped the car to
investigate and found that the supply
of oil was exhausted.
Seeing the man coming down the
road Topper asked tfiat something
else about the car be looked at as
an excuse and when the man came
VP to the party he invited him to ride
aiortg. The offer was accepted and
then the others in the party learned
who the man was. He was taken on
to York Springs, where he was ques
tioned and the conference disclosed
the fact that he was surprised that
only the three escaped from the
jail, saying that the plan among the
prisoners was for the whole lot of
them to get away. He was wanted
in connection with an automobile
case as he is regarded as an import
ant witness against two men arrest
ed in Philadelphia for stealing cars.
He claims to be from Wilkes-Barre
and gives the name of James Wil
liams. The other man, Raymond
Conley, is still at large.

Perfect Health Is Yours
If the Blood Is Kept Pure
Almost Every Human Ailment
Is Directly Traceable to Im
purities in the Blood.
You cannot overestimate the Im
portance of keeping the blood free
of impurities. When you realize that
the heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts of the body,
you can easily see that any Impurity
in the blood will cause serious com
plications.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood Is a
source of danger, for every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform Its
functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result of a bad
condition of the blood. Among the

A. Hauch, of Churchtown, Lancaster
county, Pa., is worth reading anil
considering.
"I suffered from pains In the head
and was so dizzy that I could not
work. The blood rushed to my
head, besides my stomach was bloat,
ed. The whole trouble came from my
stomach, I am sure. I heard so
much about Tonall and talked with
people who had used Tonall, I de
cided to try it. I am glad I did. I
now have no pain and am not diczy.
1 can do my housework, which X
could not do before.
"I recommended Tonall willingly
to all sufferers from stomach trouble
and they cannot get this wonderful
remedy too quickly, if they want to
get well and have the comforts of
living."
This testimonial was given June
11, 1918.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
Store, Harrisburg, where its merits
will be explained by the Tonall
chemist, also at Hershey's Drug
Store, Hershey, Pa.
