J engine room and the stokehold, a fact which is taken to rule out any possibility that the ship struck a mine. The inrush of water was tre mendous. One engineer was swept into the tunnel from the engine room and drowned. One boat was swamped, an other was damaged because the falls became fouled and another was swept back against the liner by a wave and smashed by the propeller. Henry Burton, minister of rail ways of the Union of South Africa, joined with other sur vivors in praising the devotion to duty and the self sacrifice of the officers of the ship and the| men of the naval vessels which J rushed to the rescue. London, Sept. 17.—The 7,955-ton i liner, Galway Castle, carrying nearly 1,000 persons, including hundreds of women and children, was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat last Friday with consequences replete with all the horrors of the Lusitania crime. The Galway Castle was on the last lap of her journey from South Africa and was approaching the Eng lish southwest coast. No estimate of the loss of life is obtainable at this cabling, but many passenge.rs—mostly women and chil dred. it is feared—and thirty-four of the liner's crew were lost. The missing from the torpedoed Galway Castle number 189. They include 120 passengers, 36 naval and military officers and men, and 33 of the crew. Women and Children Lost Ninety third-class passengers lost were without exception women and j children. Two passengers who have | been landed lost all members of their I families. Among the passengers was Henry Burton, minister of railways and bar- | bors and of linance, of the Union of j South Africa. He was saved. Dr. j Buntine, another passenger, is among ' the missing. The liner's master. Captain Dyer, j stuck to the bridge to the last. With j him a handful of the members of the crew who refused to leave their captain, made desperate but futile efforts to save the vessel. The cap tain and these men escaped in the tick of time and have reached port. Many I'erlshed Helpless women and children strug gled for hours in the rough sea hold ing on to wreckage or rafts. Many of these perished it is feared. Hun dreds of others floated in open boats until picked up by British patrol craft. One lifeboat was smashed by the liner's propeller. The Galway Castle belonged to the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Com pany. She hailed from London, where she was built in 1911 by Har land and Wlok, Limited. The liner carried twenty first-class, I ten second-class and ninety third- i class passengers. COAL MINERS ON STRIKE AT^SHAMOKIN [Continued from First Page.] wage scale. The men are expected to go back to work to-morrow. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 16.—A1l the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company collieries in the Shen andoah and Mahanoy' regions are closed by strike this morning. The men are demanding an increase in wages. This action was decided upon at a meeting of the mine locals held Sunday. About 2 5,000 miners are af fected. Heading, Pa., Sept. 16.—1n parts of the Schuylkill region north of Broad Mountain, few of the mines of the Reading Coal and Iron Company are in operation. All of the mines south of Broad Mountain are in oper ation. These include those in the Lykens Valley, Tremont, Miners ville and Schuylkill Valley districts. The men say the shutdown is due to the failure of Fuel Administrator Garfield to adjust their pay differ ences.

WORLD MARVELS AT EFFICIENCY OF ARMY [Continued from First Page.] DR. ROBERT BAGNELL Dr. Bagnell's address. He followed up praise to the Allied armies with a plowing tribute to our own khakl elad tighters. "The efficiency of the j American military organization has I challenged the admiration of the j world." he said only to be interrupted I by the ringing cheers of his more ! than 2,000 listeners. "Never in all history has there been so great a piece of work done with so few blun ders in so short a time." he said commenting upon the splendid en enterprise of military leaders in bringing the American army up to its present standard. No Chance For lluns "We have 1,600,000 men across the seas at the present time. When you sit down to eat your Thanksgiving dinner there will be 2,000,000 and by Easter there will be 3,000,000 men overseas. We will have a big ger army than the combined armies of the British and French and we will have a bigger army than the German army. If it were necessary we could send the British Army home anil the French army hack, to repair the ruined villages anil till the fields again, and we eotild finish up the job ourselves.'' For the men back of the lines who are cutting timber, cooking, baking bread he had nothing but praise. His opinion was that these men are in the war heart and soul and hand to the finish and that they are aiding greatly in vanquishing the tricky Hun. , Dr. Bagnell believes that the big push will begin after Easter and that it will not stop until the Germans cry "Kamerad" and mean it! He is confident that the Americans will force peace upon the Germans by I next year. A Healthy Lot | Then he switched to the boys and ! there were hundreds of mothers, i wives and sweethearts of the light ing lads who hung breathless upon | his words. "The boys are a I very healthy lot of men," he told them. "And they have mighty good 'eats'. My great grief is that I couldn't always eat with them. They are strapping fellows! I am sorry 1 didn't meet more home boys! 1 took a trip to a lumber camp fifty miles from everywhere to see two companies of soldiers and met a boy from my former congregation in Philadelphia. "The boys have the best of medi cal care." he said. After this war there will be some great stories writ ten. One of the greatest stories will be of the American doctor," and he praised without stint the work of the Red Cross surgeon. Boys of Good Morals Coming to the point which has caused thousands of mothers great anxiety. Dr. Bagnell discussed the morals of the boys. "They aren't necessarily bonafid angels," he ex | plained. "The army isn't the place |to make saints. But it is true that they are better and finer than any I other army under God's sky." He told of his meeting Miss Mar ian B. C. Watts, a Harrisburg girl and praised the line American women who are helping the Ameri can boys to hold their own. And then, returning to the moral question again he declared "Our army is the cleanest upon the face of the earth." More than 2,000 people were pres ent at the big patriotic meeting ad dressed by Dr. Bagnell. The Muni cipal Band played from seven to eight o'clock when the meeting was opened by the singing of "America." The Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevltt, bishop of the Harrisburg Diocese of the Catholic church, delivered the invocation. Following the singing of "La Marseillaise," W. P. Starkey introduced Dr. Bagnell with a few well chosen words. He referred to the fact that the big plant of which he is general superintendent is now operating one hundred per cent, on war munitions and complimented the army of employes on Ihelr lay alty manifested in the purchase of Liberty Bonds and otherwise. Fol lowing the address the meeting closed with the singing of the Na tional anthem. Seated on the platform as audi tors were a host of the city's most prominent men while the Red Cross officials also were in evidence. Mayor Daniel L. Keister and a num ber of city officials were present. Hearst Is Scored William Randolph Heurst, million aire newspaper owner, received sharp criticism at the hands of Dr. Robert Bagnell, recently returned from France, who addressed his congre gation in Grace Methodist Church, last night. Hearst was heavily scor ed and a strong plea made against the furtherance of his propaganda in this city. Optimism was the keynote in Dr. Bagnell's address. "The war is on, the danger is past, but Germany is not licked and the only question now is how we are going to do the job," he declared. "The doom of Germany is sealed and only tenderhearted fools or blackhearted traitors will stop short of the complete crushing of militarism as typified in the mili tary masters of the German empire." High praise was given to the American soldiers and sailors, and the various war work enterprises received glowing tributes. The Amer icans at home who are keeping the home fires glowing, received their meed of appreciation, too. Dr. Bag nell urged full support of the Lib erty Loan by all Americans. Following Dr. Bagnell's address. Bishop J. H. Darlington of the Har risburg Diocese Protestant Episcopal Church, spoke for a few minutes on the work in the camps. The services closed with the spirited singing of "The Star Spangled Banner." gyUIKF, BREAKS AXLE A fast pasoeinger train, which ar rives at Middletown at 8:415 p. m., going west, broke an axle at the Union street subway, last evening, and tied up traffic for some time. An other engine was procured from Har risburg. HOMELESS SOLDIERS ROYALLY ENTERTAINED [Continued from First Pne.] the neighborhood and the thousands who pass through." If the plans mature which are to be discussed to-morrow at a meeting of the advisory board and Y. M. C. A. officials, Harrisburg is bound to be put pn the international map in a new and unique fashion, for the Civic Club has caught the genuine democratic spirit conveyed in Presi dent Wilson's slogan of: "Make the world safe for Democracy." At this conference to-morrow Mr. Reeves, of the Y. M. C. A. and officials of .the Red Cross will be present to make practical co-operation with the Civic Club in every possible way so that the entertainment of soldiers will be no haphazard affair, biit when a visitor in uniform hits Harrisburg he will be immediately acquainted with the system of entertainment. "We have fifty cots here," said Mr. Reeves to-day, "and can put in more, so that a big quota of men can have quarters if they choose to remain in town over night. There is a charge of 25 cents for these, but no hesitation will there be onr our part to give a shake-down free if the man cannot dfford it. There will be a substantial home-cooked breakfast for the same prlpe and any one with a uniform has a free pass to all our comforts, hot and cold shower baths, billiards, pool, bowling, reading rooms, oppor tunity to black boots and press clothes. It will be our business- to appoint a committee who will be here every Sunday morning to guide the fnen to church services, and in brief we want to co-operate just as heartily with the Civic Club as though we were the sole entertain ers." Cookies "Cookies-O-U-mm!" sighed a Tanker passing a sunburned hand over his sunburned brow. "And they have plenty of butter in 'em." The Civic Club hostesses respond ed with a sevtere order that he eat all he could and the methodic manner of his obedience slowly decimated the hillocks of sweet delicacies. But no one worried. The particular cookie happened to have been supplied by Mrs. William Jennings, who makes 'cm by hand, and every soldier hopes that her hands keep in good shape. This week, Mrs. William Henderson observed, a canvass will be made of the countryside and where service stars glifter there a request will be made of farmer's wives to contribute to the cookie supply, and no one fears that it will diminish. No public appeal has been made by Mrs. Henderson for funds to maintain this surpassing enterprise, although the cost is not trifling. Per sonal donations from time to time have enabled the Civic Club to keep up a substantial table, but Mrs. Hen derson suggested that the Telegraph might say: "The Civic Club could use more checks." A certain inspiration for the Har risburg idea of making a real borne for soldiers was derived from Peters burg, Va„ the home town of Mrs. Lyman Gilbert. Visiting there re cently she was surprised and delight ed to hear that the Blue Devils, as one, declared in Petersburg that of all the cities they visited Harrisburg had given them the most delightful time % Keyed by this tribute, Mr 3. William Henderson determined that the club should immortalize itself by making tnis cause historic and mis week will see gay posters tackod up at the railway stations, at Mid dletown. Marsh Run and Camp Colt and other places, calling attention that when in Harrisburg there is a home for the soldiers at the Civic Club. Food For the Hungry A signal instance of what is being done.occurred on Saturday last when forty-eight men stopped off here on the way from Camp Dunwoody, Minneapolis, to Camp Colt after three days' traveling, on sandwiches. Mis. Dunlap instantly notified Mrs. Wal ter H. Gaither, acting captain of the canteen service, and those hungry varriors were furnished a feast that tongue-tied them until one robust trooper found his voice to gulp: "This is God's own coffee." When he liad devoured a piece of home-made raisin and apple pie tears rolled down his cheeks and hfe would have gone over the top with a toothpick for weapon. This activity is a drastic innovation at the conservative Civic Club, but it is in keeping with war times a,id shows how alert the officials are. The entertainment begins at 3 o'clock on Saturday when the club house is open to soldiers; the club house with its lovely lawn and home like fittings. That the soldiers ap preciate this uncommon entertain ment is proved by the number who send away postcards, provided free by the cluft and which depict an out line of the hospitable home which is going to make Harrisburg a city of fond memory for many brave men in service. On Saturday evening the usual en tertainment will be music and danc ing; while on Sunday afteroon no hostesses appear and the men un furnished an opportunity to enjoy the comforts of every room in the charming place. Even smokes are provided and so careful are the visi tors that no ash falls on the floor and no scorch appears on the furni ture. Yast evening the week-end enter tainment closed with a delightful and wholesome program, mostly of song led by Abner Hartman, with Mrs. Wilbur Harris at the piano. It was noted that many of the boys, dazed at the unusual' hospitality, were a bit stiff, and even some of the hos tesses we re,at a loss to know exactly how to take care of warriors on ■ a Sunday evening.. But this week a precise program is to be mapped out for ;h lines of entertainment und certainly there should be in cluded that mighty song, "Onward Christian Soldiers" which was sung last night with such effect as to stir deepest emotions. It is proposed to have the guests "do their bit," as did Corporal Roberts whoso voice rang loud one week ago. Colonel Nelson at Middletown Is taking vast interest In the good cause and as Us object is advertised more and more officers at all depots and enroute will be alive to partake of the home wel come at the Capital City. TOMORROW AXXIVF.RSAItY OF F. S. CONSTITUTION To-morrow will be the anniver sary of the adoption of'the Constitu tion of the United States. Mayor Daniel L. Keister has re ceived a request from the Pennsyl vania Society, Sons of the American Revolution, to appeal to residents of the city to observe the day, While no formal program has been arrang ed, the Mayor said that the flag should be displayed all over the city, and in the schools, a short time • should be devoted to giving a brief account of the birth of the Consti tution and its final adoption. TAFT GOES TO WASHINGTON By Associated Brest New York, Sept. 16.—William H. Taft, president of the League to En force Peace, to-day called a special meeting of the league to be held here to-night to diHcuss the Austrian peace proposals." Mr. Taft is hastening [ here from Washington. jYANKEE FIGHTER FROM ] HOME IN REAL BATTLE [Continued from First Page.] ' # "• • |S9B| ~ • KPP#'- y i SERGEANT WILLIAMSON twice. He has seen service on four fronts, in the Lorraine, before Amiens, on the Upper Marne and in the big push'of July 15 at Chateau- Thierry. He has helped execute Ger man spies, fought a victorious had to-hand battle with a Prussian guardsman and in all, crowded into six months tiyne, adventures which might well satisfy any man. Entered in August, 1017 Sergeant Williamson, when seen shortly after his arrival, gave the following account of hfs experiences: "I enlisted in the army in this city on the Bth of August, 1917, and im mediately was assigned to Company A, of York of the old Eighth regi ment, going to CaVnp Hancock with them. At Hancock 1 was trans ferred to the 112 th Machine Gun Battalion, and then to the 110 th In fantry, Company F, which was com posed largely of men from the old Third Regiment, of Philadelphia. "We left Hancock for the other side during the month of April, and while at Camp Merritt, waiting to be embarked, I was promoted to ser geant. How they came to pick me out from all those line Philadelphia boys I don't know, because those fellows in my company sure are good sol diers. We arrived in England about a week after sailing, and another week found us in Calais, France. Meets Captain Bassler "From Calais I was sent to Le Havre, where I met Captain .Bassler, (formerly pastor of the Second Re- I formed Church). Captain Bassler is very popular among the men and was in tine health when I saw him. "From Le Havre our regiment was ordered to the Lorraine front, but j when we arrived there we found that another regiment had been secured for reserves, and we were diverted to Amiens. Joined Australian Troops "During the three days which I spent at Amiens, we were brigaded with Australian troops. While there we caught a German spy, masquer ading as a French priest, who used to come through, the trenches and ask the boys if our pork, hearts and cheese, were all right. We found that he had a wireless concealed behind the crucifix in the cathedral. He was stood against a wall und sprayed with machine gun. "Then we were forced to raze the Amiens cathedral because the Ger mans began bombarding it as soon as the wireless messages ceased to conte in, and it was a pretty con spicuous target. "On the third day of my stay there I was slightly 'blown-up' or shell shocked by a high explosive shell and then transferred to St. Aignain hospital. From St. Aignain hospital I was sent upon recovery to Chateau Thiefrry with a number of casuals, as newly recovered soldiers are called. Goes Over the Top "We went over the top at Chateau Thierry on the 25th of May, which of course was not the time of the big drive. I barely had cleared the top of the trnech, wljen a German machine gun opened up and I receiv ed wounds in my right and left legs. "I was returned to the hospital at St. Aignains and then rejoined the 110 th at their new post at Chardreau on the Marne. We went over the top at Chardreau, and 1 got into a fight with a big Prussian guardsman who managed to stick me in the stomach with his saw bayonet, but I got him with my automatic revolver. "I was then sent to the Saveny hospital where I remained three and one-half weeks and then, feeling pretty good, and as the doctors wouldn't let met go, I took 'French' leave and managed to rejoin my com pany. Takes Lock From Door "I was only back a few days when .a cloud of gas came over and I managed to get some of it, so they sent me back to Saveny. It was only a slight case of 'tear gassing' and I felt all right in a few days, but this time they were taking no chances on my leaving and kept the door of my room locked. However, one day , when they sent up my dinner I took the knife and managed to get the screws out of the lock on .the door, got away and again rejoined old 'F' Company. "From Chardeau we were moved to Chateau Thierry to take part in the hig drive of July 15. We went over the top and had advanced about eight mifes, when I as again 'blon up' by a high explosive shell, and this time they invalided me home. "I was kept at Saveny hospital for some time, leaving France on August 14, on the former German liner the Vaterland, now the Levithian. We ar rived in New York on the 19th and I was immediately sent to Plattsburg, where I have been ever since." When asked why no notice of his wounds had appeared in the casualty lists, Sergeant Williamson said that when a man is wounded the doctors ask him who they shall notify. Each time he replied "no one." Williamson is home on a two months' furlough and on his return expects to enter an officers training camp for duty on this side. "SIMPLE," SAYS CAPT. McCREATH [Continued from hirst Page.] ordered as first lieutenant, that be ing before his promotion, to take a detail of troops, go down the road through a railroad cut a mile or two and clear the Germans out of cellars and dugouts in a small town. He was informed that all the Ger man machine guns had been cleared from thait locality and he would have no trouble. But a half mile along the road two machine gun nests sud denly opened fire on his force and he and his men took refuge, flat on their stomachs, behind a railroad | embankment. As dawn approached and there was no apparent chance of escape and the Germans kept up tiring, he determined upon a ruse. Laving the bulk of his detail with extra ammunitions to keep up a Are in the general direction of the Ger- mans he took several men and crept off to the right while his sergeant with severul others crept off to the left. "The Germans couldn't hear us for the noise and they couldn't see us for the darkness," suid Captain McCreath, "so we crept up on their flunks until within thirty yards and then let loose with hand grenades. That ended the Germans. Wo then went on and cleaned out th town. It was very simple." The Lust Big Offensive In the big offensive of July 14, when the Germans made their last and unsucccssfql attempt to break through at the Alarne Captain Mc- Creath fought beside Lieut. Dowdell, son of Ralph W. Dowdell, a Itotarian, who sat across the table from the captain as he spoke. The 39th Infantry, of which Cap tain McCreath's company was a part, went into this action with 3,000 men and 120 officers and -came out with 1200 men and 16 officers. Many of the casualties were of soldiers gassed or wounded who will be back in the service shortly, the captain said. He described how the Ger mans for eight hours poured upon the Americans an artillery lire, the heaviest known in the war, and then crossed the Marne under heavy fire and floated down the stream on pon toons, sweeping either bank with machine guns as they came. The French gunners were driven from their cannon and American artillery men rushed in and took them over. That night the field hospitals were filled to overflowing and the wounded were being piled into the headquar ters dugout when a big shell smashed In the end. The debris had hardly been cleared away when along came another and crushed in the other end. "But in the face of a terrible flow of gas through the apartment and the frightful suffer ing of the wounded that resulted there was perfect calm," said Cap tin McCreath. Everybody stuck.' to his post and the lighting continued until the 17th when we threw the Germans back across and took up the chase all the way to the Vesle," where he left his regiment getting ready to go back for reorganization and rest when he was summoned back to the United States to help train troops for overseas service. Captain McCreath received a rous ing reception at the hands of the Rotarians. Next Monday at lunch* eon IJr. Robert Bagnell, pastor of Grace Methodist Church, just home from France, will address the Ro tarians. HOUSING EXPERT TO STUDY PROBLEM [Continued from First Page.] pioneer work on the subject in America. Mr. Veiller's acquaintance with study of the industrial housing prob lem. especially in its relation to war time industries. His most important contribution toward the solution of which is the "Government Standards for Permanent Industrial Housing Developments," drafted by him and formally adopted by the Bureau of Industrial Housing and Transporta tion of the Labor Department, to govern construction in federal hous ing developments. Ixnig Actively Engaged Recently Mr. Veiller has contribut ed to the Architectural Record a series of articles analyzing industrial housing, developments in America, and an enlightening discussion of after the war housing problems. Mr. Veiller's acquaintancee with the various phases of the housing problem comes from first hand ex perience. He has been engaged ac tively in the work for more than twenty years, having been largely in strumental in the organization of the Tenement House Department of New York City, of which he was first deputy commissioner. It was he who drafted the tene ment house law under which New York has achieved her leadership in the field of housing reform. It was his co-operation with the Real Estate ■ Board and the Civic and Commerce Association of Minneapolis which aid ed in placing on the statute books of Minnesota within the past year, a housing law which will enable Min neapolis in the future to deal much more effectively with her housing problems. Until very recently Mr. Veiller was director of the tenement house com mittee of the Charity Organization Society of New York City, in which capacity he had served for nineteen years. In 1910 when the National Housing Association was organized, he was appointed secretary, the office he still holds.
