Buying For Christmas
Not to Be Restricted
Washington. D. C., Sept. 3. — A j
change of front in its policy of re-!
strieted Christmas buying was an-j
nouneed yesterday by the Council j
of National Defense as a result of i
later information obtained as to the I
methods pursued and the relations!
which the holiday trade has to the I
many interests concerned.
Heretofore the National Council j
has taken the position that the nec- ;
essity for saving labor, material and
transportation called for consider-'
able decreases in Christmas buying!
during the coming fall. It has since
found that the manufacture of goods:
for the coming season had been !
pratically completed and that much
of the tarnsportation of the goods!
was effected long prior to the Christ-j
mas period: also that the material!
itself, especially in the manufacture
of toys, represented wastage derived j
from prior processes of manufacture.
After a conference with the load
ing industries engaged in the rnanu-j
facture of holiday materials, and'
with the retai linterests concerned,
it was agreed by the latter not to
increase their working force by rea
son of holiday business over the aver
age force employed during the year
working hours during the Christ
mas season. It was further agreed

Where German Helmets Were
Hard to Get Before Yankees
Went Into Action, Harris
burg Lads Now Are Able
"to Wade Through Them"
MANY MORE ARRIVING
SAFELY "OVERSEAS"
There is no more interesting and
graphic news to-day, if we except
the actual account of Allied suc
cesses, than the precious letters of
the boys who are risking life to make
the world safe for democracy, those
intimate missives to mother, father,
good friend, which are so beartful
and true. It is most satisfying, too,
that cheerfulness is the keynote
which rings loudest; comforting to
know that Uncle Sam is providing
the best of eats and plenty of them;
inspiring to read how these boys
think only of sticking by the
and Stripes until the Hun is con
quered.
Picking Huns Of! Trees
Horace Gladfelter, son of Mrs. M.
Gladfelter, 273 Herr street, writes
to his mother and wife a typical let
ter, illustrating these points. "I
often think of home," says he, "but
we are too busy to get homesick.
We have the Hun on the run. Used
to be German helmets were hard to
get; now we in them. I will
try and send you one. We have lately
been shelled by airplanes, artillery
and machine guns at the same mo
ment and some of our company have
been gassed and wounded. I was
standing close to a team of our
mules when shrapnel killed both of
then and I felt that 1 was indeed
lucky. We do most of pur fighting
at night. The Huns stick to the
woods as much as they can, and do
not like to tight en the open. One
afternoon a regiment of our division
had a bunch of them treed and we
boys took off our shirts and with
fixed bayonets went after them. vVe
took more than 500, so you see there
is not much to it. We enjoy greatly
shooting at planes, and we have
plenty to eat; candy and American
tobacco. We have, money to get
whatever we want and all are en
joying good health. One thing I
want the world to know is that the
Pennsylvania boys started this drive
and they will be in it at the finish,
you bet." Gladfelter enlisted in Co.
D, of the old Eighth Regiment, on
March 23, 1017. Transferred from
Camp Hancock, at his own request,
he is now with the 109 th Machine
Gun Company.

Steelton New Items j
PROTEST AGAINST
STUDY OF GERMAN
Borough High School Juniors
Refuse to Take Up
Hated Tongue
The tongue of tha Hohenzollerns is
increasing in its unpopularity in the
Steelton sifhools. Its study during
the final two years in the High
school, the only time when it is
taught, promises soon to become a
thing of the past. Steelton school
children are sincere in their patriot-
Ism and want nothing, to do with any
thing that smacks the least bit of
Germany or its inhabitants.
That they remain still unshaken
in their belief that the subject
should not be Included at all in the
curriculm of the schools is evidenced
full well by this fact that not a
single new student has such a desire
to become a German linguist that
he has taken up the study of the
language. The number of second
year students in the subject is smuil
er than ever before.
Several college preparatory stu
dents are the only students enroll
ed for the subject. It is necessary,
school officials explain, for them V 3
have two years' work of some lan
guage it addition to Latin that they
may possess the necessary credits for
entrance into most colleges. But
many students and school patrons
are displeased that the subject
should be taught at all.
"The study of German is not com
pulsory on any student," Superin
tendent L. E. McGinnes explains.
The course has not been dropped from
the school curriculum, he adds, that
students desiring to pursue a colle
giate course, may be able to produce
a sufficient number of language units
for college entrance. One year's
work in German together with a
year of French would not satisfy
college entrance requirements. he
affirms. Two years of either of
them in addition to Latin is requir
ed.
While students uttered a terrible
howl of protest against the Hun
tongue last spring, school officials
urged them to continue its study at
least for the remainder of the year
that their credits might not be di
minished so much as to prevent
their promotion or graduation. It is
because of the pupils' needs now,
they maintain, that the course is be
ing continued.
Although school officials do not in
tend to take the drastic action of
eliminating the subject from the
course of study in the schools, it is
expected that it will not be taught
at all next year because of the lack
of pupils willing Vo study It. Be
cause of the growing objection to
German and to provide a greater
scope of selection in the study of
language in the Steelton school, a
two-years' course in Spanish will be
instituted. It will be studied for
the first, time during the 1919-20
term and will be taught by Miss S.
Ellen McGinnes, head of the langu
age department in the schools.
