parade, residents walked the street,
cheering and waving flags during the
height of the celebration.
Every whistle on the steel -pliant,
following tho long blast of the fire

a long time the noise from this bat
tery of whistles wis audible for sev
eral miles. The whistles kept blow

formation as to what was taking
place.
Much Excitement
Simultaneously with the first blast
of the fire whistle on the plant a
large amount of metal was dumped
into ladles at No. 1 blast furnace

of light. Under tho impression that
there was a serious fire at the plant,
hundreds of workmen, not on duty

it was not a fire that occurred at
the plant but that the Germans were
burning their feet retreating to Ber
lin before the heavy onslaughts of
the Allied armies among which were
some of the many Steelton boys in

The unusual blowing of all the
whistles on the plant created ".on
siderable excitement for some time.
Rumors in abundance were started
at the first blast of the whistles and
fifteen minutes later an inquirer ask
ing whatwaa going on was given
information in wholesale lots, but
not any of the right kind.

sufficient to take care of the crowds
us there was no disturbance report
ed. The chief said if there were any
pro-Germans in the street at the
time they did not say anything as
there was not trouble of this kind.
When the first whistle was sound
ed the entire fire department except
the Citizen truck came out in the
streets. Chief Malehorn was notified
that the whistle was going to blow
bit did not have sufficient time to
notifv anv more of th companies
but the Citizen.

MODEST HARRISBURG SOLDIER
To the Editor of the Telegraph: '
Dear Sir —While the city papers
are taking note of Harrisburg boys
engaged on the battle front I would
like to remark that my young friend
Lieutenant Ross Boas has been en
gaged on the front along with the
tirst Americans to take their place in
the battle line. Ross enlisted at the
first call for troops and being a
mining engineer by profession em
ployed by the New Jersey Zinc Min
ing Corporation, he became Second
Lieutenant Company B .First U. S.
Engineers and has been in France
exactly a year.
Ross is a husky, red blooded, two
handed young athlete and however,
he distinguished himself, It will take
a crossexamining lawyer to draw the
facts from Ross Boas himself.
