RED CROSS AIMS TO TELL PEOPLE OF WAR FRIENDS Information Booths May Be Established in Railroad Depots ki City The latest development of Red Cross service is the establishment of information of parents, sweethearts, wives and friends of soldiers in camps. In line with the nation-wide plan for the installation of these booths it is provable information booths will be established in the Pennsylvania and Reading railroad stations here within a few days. The information booths are design ed to protect friends and relative! who wish to visit soldiers in camps. Harrisburg occupies a position of importance since it is a Junction point of high standing, and is also the nearest city to Camp Colt, Get tysburg. Red Cross Workers Explain Commenting upon the plan to es tablish the information ibooth sys tem in Harrisburg, Mrs. H. E. Lucas this morning described phases of the same department of work in New York City. On a recent trip to the metropolis Mrs. Lucas, who is cash ier of the local Red Cross Chapter, was taken through the Y. W. C. A. hostess house, at 12 West Fifty-first street. It formerly was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry P. Davison. Mr. Davison is now head of th'e American Red Cross. The information booths in New I York City are located at every ferry, [.station, and Junction point. For |,mothers who want to see their sons the plan is ideal. Take for instance a wife who had not seen her husband 1 for two years. He was stationed at Camp Merritt. The woman came all the way from Scranton to the city. She had never been in New York and was much frightened. When her husband failed to met her she was Just about ready to turn about and go home when a member of the Travelers' Aid Division of the "Y" accosted her and took her to the hos tess house. Her husband was com municated with and she was taken to camp under the care of a chaperon. That's the sort of service that will be done. "The Y. W. C. A. hostess house is a place where soldiers and sailors may meet their friends. It happens so very that the men in the service have no place in the city where they may meet their friends. To meet this need the house has been thrown open and a hostess is in charge to make the visitors welcome. There are bedrooms in the house, a sun parlor and all conveniences." Mrs. Lucas cited many cases where interest and courtesy had t been shown to the enlisted and drafted men by the people of New York City, "You never see an automobile coming from camp and going to camp with an empty seat. You always will find some uniformed men in the cars. Every theater and auditorium has a sign 'Your uniform is your pass.' In the big stadium symphony orchestras give big con certs to which the men are admit ted without any charge." KAISER SAYS PUBLIC MUST DIVIDE CLOTHES Amsterdam, July 30.—The German government has given "final notice" to the public to give up "voluntarily at least one suit of clothes each to the wa| workers and the army. Fail ure to meet the demand will result in forcible requisition and delin quents will be liable to imprisonment tor one year and a fine of 10 000 marks ($2,000). habiusburg telegraph EAGLES GATHER IN SMOKY CITY Big Fraternal Order Holding Annual Session; Mayor Greets Delegates Pittsburgh, July 30. Delegates from every state In the Union and from Canada assembled at the Nixon Theater last night to witness the opening ceremonies of the National Patriotic Convention Fraterna l Order of Eagles, which will continue until Friday night. Dr. Carl G. Winters, of Indianapolis, grand worthy presi dent, affectionately known among the Eagles as "Chief Grey Eagle," took charge of the proceedings and introduced Major E. V. Babcock for the speech of welcome, after several; choruses by a community choir of 1,000 voices had been renderod tin der the leadership of Professor Wil liam Earhart, director of music in the public schools. A silken service flag, containing 20,019 blue stars in a white field for as many fighting Eagles, and eighty-six gold stars in the red rimmed field for members of the or der who have died in defense of their country, was unfurled amidst hearty enthusiasm. Attorney William J. Brennan, ex chairman of the Democratic com mittee, welcomed the delegates to the city on behalf of the local mem bers of the order, after which Frank E. Herring, of South Bend, Ind., edi tor of the Eagles' Magazine, present ed to the convention the Indiana service flag, containing 26,000 stars and drew attention to the fact that the first shot in the war after the United States entered was by a Hoos ier. and the first man killed was .from Indiana. Membership of 4on in View of the fact that her husband did not work regularly ind in Hogan vs. L T nited Fruit Company, Philadelphia, it is held that an award is rot warranted because the accident occurred in maritime WEOfk and at a time when it could not come under congressional enactments of 1917. Asking Estimates.—The State Ar mory Board is asking for estimates for the enlargements of the cavalry armory at Philadelphia and the in fantry armory at Reading, but any work will he contingent upon prior ity orders.

Murdock, the state drift officer, in a letter Addressed to all local draft boards in Pennsylvania in which he lays down the methods to be followed. All inquiries re garding status of any delinquents are to be addressed .to the state headquarters of the state of which the man claims to be a resident and where a man claims to have no reg istration card and not to remember where he registered he is to be given opportunity to register at once. When descriptive lists of deserters are re ceived by local boards they are to "promptly turn them over to the proper police authorities and re quest that an immediate investiga tion be made."

No Action Taken —The Public Service Commission did not reach any decision in regard to the Phila delphia Rapid Transit lease at the executive session this morning, and in the event that nothing is deter mined at the afternoon meeting the opinion is that it will not be acted upon finally for at least three weeks. Members of the commission de clined to make any statement in icgard to the discussion of the proposition. During the day the commission is scheduled to consider several other cases which were heard recently, including matters pertaining to fare franchise ordi nances in the western part of the statd. Mr. Woods Here—Secretary of the Commonwealth Woods was at the Capitol on his -way to Wernersvllle to spend a short time. Pittsburgh Visitor Hale Hill, former corporation clerk to the Aud itor General, was at the Capitol to day. Object to Fare—Nine borough* and two groups of citizens to-day filed complaints before the Public Service Commission against the In crease of fare from six to eight cents recently announced by the Reading Transit and Light Company.

Birdsboro and Rob esonia, while citizens of Collegeville and Robesonla also complained. In some of the complaints the charge is made that the increase is against terms of franchise ordinances, nota bly Norristown, and that the ad vance Is excessive. The borough of Summit Hill and a number of r*sl flents of Nesquehonlng filed com plaint against an advance in rates by the Panther Valley Electric Light Company, of Lansford, while William B. Irwin, of Coatesville, complained of the increaso In fares of the Conestoga Traction Company between Lancaster and Cojitesville as unwarranted, charging "that it would be a hardship upon the trav eling public and that the line paid handsome return under present fares. The commission approved the sid ing at Hnrrishurg avenue. Lnncas ter. over which a contest was made. Moots Favor—The acting commis sioner of health and the chief of the division of supplies of tho State De partment of Health are deluded with correspondence from physician 3 throughout tho commonwealth ask ing for the new circulars recently i published for distribution to doctors j for placing in tho hands of patient's j eopiing under their care while suf fering with social diseases. No ac tion taken by the department has ever met with such universal ap proval on the part of the doctors of the commonwealth. Thw new work seems to have struck a responsive chord.
