Murdock. the state chief drawt officer, who issued the or der, declined to make any statement except to say that the matter had been done after consultation with officials at Washington.

Murdock. state draft officer, to-day urged that men who expect to be away from home draft districts on September 12 go at once to the headquarters of boards where they happen to be and after obtain ing registration cards fill them out and send them to their home boards. TWO HARRISBURG ROYS KILLED IN BATTLE ACTION Casualty List Shows Local Soldiers Are Taking Part in Offensive That war has been rightly char acterized as a grim business is to day being impressed upon Harris burgers with exceeding emphasis by the presentation of the largest cas ualty list of youths of this section. Nine names are contained in it. Two more Harrisburg youths have made the supreme sacrifice in the mighty conflict with the Hun. Both of them laid aside their own inter ests shortly after the declaration of hostilities to take up the gauntlet for the safety of humanity.* They are Charles Edward Weitmyer, 1721 North Third street, and Lieutenant' James Gault felder, of Paxtang. Three other fatalities, two of them of county youths and one of a for mer Harrisburger, with four wound ings, have been reported to swell the casualty list of this section. Charles Edward Weitmyer Landing in France on May 14 and fighting hard in the very front trenches along the western front since then. Charles Edward Weit myer, private in the Hospital Corps of the 112 th infantry, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Weitmyer, 1721 North Third street, was killed in ac tion on August 8. Official notifica tion of his death has just been re ceived from the War Department by his parents. He was 30 years old. Enlisting in June, 1917, Private "Weitmyer received his training for the stern duties of war at Camp Hancock. Ga. A former student at Central High and the School of Commerce, he had been employed as a salesman at the Globe Clothing Store before entering the military service. Of high ability and amiable disposition, Weitmyer had a host of friends in Harrisburg. Benjamin Strouse, of The Globe, received a letter July 2, from Private Weitmyer In which hewrites in part: "Since our arrival in France we have been billeted in most any kind of a building, from a chateau to a barn, but for all that it is a very enjoyable life. * * * "So far I have seen quite a few army battles and, believe me, they are exciting to witness. This morn ing I saw five German planes pass over camp in a bunch, but I guess old Jerry did not know our locations. Otherwise I imagine we-would have been visited by a few bombs. "It seems strange to retire at night while it is yet daylight, but as it stays light until 10 o'clock and knowing that 5 a. m. comes around very quickly, we, as a rule, are in bed by that time." Lieut. James Gault Elder Lieutenant James Gault Elder, who was killed in action, July 31, was almost the last of an old fam ily of fighting stock which was prominent in the early history of Paxton Presbyterian Church, Pax tang. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Matthew B. Elder, of the old Elder home at what is now Ellerslie, Derry street, near Paxtang. He is survived by a brother, now In the army; three aunts, Mrs. Robert Welsh, 212 Harris street; Mrs. Ar thur H. Bailey, Paxtang, and Mrs. James Walker, and an uncle, J. Q. A. Rutherford. When the war broke out he was a student at Princeton and went to Fort Niagara, ff. Y.. for training in the First Reserve officers training camp. He received a commission as second lieutenant, and was sent to Gettysburg and then Charlotte. N. C. He went overseas with the 47th infantry in May. _ In a letter received recently, dated July 23, Lieutenant Elder said; "I am assigned to field duty. It is likely that you will not hear from me for some time, but do not worry as I will have little time to write. If you do get bad news it will be too late to worry. And I will have done what any young man should be proud to do—give his life for his country." John Andrew Yanoscak Only 17 vears old, John Andrew Yanoscak, of Coaldale, near Lykens, was killed in action early in August. Enlisting shortly after the break between the United States and Ger many, he participated in several big battles before the one which result ed in his death.

A member of the Engineers' Corps, he was formerly employed by the Sdsquehanna Goal Company. Lne C. Martin Lue C. Martin, well known in Har risburg, son cf Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Martin, Pittsburgh, formerly of De troit, was killed in action In Franco in July while serving in the Y. M C. A. service. He was but eighteen years old. Mrs. J. A. Plank, of Per dix, an aunt, first received notice to this effect. Charles L- Whitman Serving as a wagoner in the Ma chine Gun Battalion of the 112 th In fantry, Charles J-..

Both boys were members of the 110 th Regiment Headquarters Company and were killed when the house occupied by the company was bombed by aircraft. According to Lieutenant Crawford, the 110 th was at a critical point In the big battle and suffered greatly. His company, M, from Latrobe went into the conflict with 230 men and came out with about 100. The next day, through the explosion of a bomb, several more were killed and wound ed, leaving the company with only seventy-two men. Lieutenant Crawford reports that Company C, of Somerset suffered very heavily in the battle, but .more of the men were taken prisoners than wounded. "Brigadier General Richard Coul ter was at the scene of the great bat tle In which the local men took part just before I left there," said the re turned officer.
