RED CROSS HAS
CALL FOR 1,500
PROPERTY BAGS
t
Will Be Sent to France and
England For Use of
Soldiers
WANTED—Patriotic women of
Harrisburg to volunteer their ser
vices and material for making
property bags for wounded sol
diers. Experience unnecessary.
Apply to Mrs. Walter A. Dearth,
1717 North Second street.
The latest call to patriotic service
for women of Harrisburg was re
ceived this.morning by the local Red
Cross chapter when it was asked
that 1,500 property bags be made and
sent to National headquarters by De
cember 1. This bag will be used by
wounded soldiers who are in hospi
tals. It is imperatively necessary.
Red Cross officials say, that these
property bags be made just as soon
as possible to be rushed overseas.
Women who do not have the time to
make the bags have been asked to
furnish materials for the patriotic
workers. Mrs. Walter A. Dearth, 1717
North Second street, has been placed
in cjiarge of the new work.
A property bag. it is explained, is
made from pieces of washable cre
tonne or other fancy, colored ma- I
terial that is durable. The size is
about 12x18 inches. It is used by
wounded soldiers in the hospitals as
a receptacle for their personal ef
fects. These bags will be sent to
hospitals in France and England, it
is believed.
Accompanying the order from Di
vision headquarters came instructions
for the making of the bags. Mrs.
Dearth, who is in charge, has stated
that she will be very glad to give
information in this connection to any
volunteer.
Chapter officials did not hesitate to
express their gratification when
they learned of the new order. "It
means." said an official, "that Harris
burg chapter is taking a place high
in the ranks of Red Cross organiza
tions throughout the nation. We have
been given a big allotment, I be
lieve, because the national headquar
ters has confidence in our work." j
GERMANS WILL
YIELD GROUND
[Continued from First Page.]
hurled the French and American
armies in that sector against the |
enemy the movement was believed
to be but a counter offensive, and it
was thought Marshal Foch merejy
had seized upon the opportunity
presented by the German offensive
begun on July 15 to strike a blow
that might defeat that effort to cap
ture Rheims and perhaps to drive
the German wedge nearer to Paris.
Viewed in the light of events that
have since transpired, the attack
against the Germans on July 18
really was the first step in a masterly
campaign which not only has wrested
the initiative from the Germans but
has forced them back along the line
from Ypres to Rheims to virtually
the lines where they stopped before
they began their mightiest drive of
the war on March 21.
Hun Successes Wiped Out
With the exception of a narrow j
strips of ground in the Flanders sec- <
tor from east .of Baupaume to the !
St. Gobain forest and along the I
Aisne between Vauxaillon and j
Rheims, the German successes of the
spring and early summer have been
liquidated. In addition, the Germans
have lost vital positions before Ar
ras and have been forced to retreat
from the St. Mihiel salient, which
for years stood like an arrow pointed
at the heart of eastern France.
American, British and French
forces carried out successful "nibb-j
ling" operations all along the line I
yesterday and won local tactical!
successes at various points. The his-!
Tory of Foch's campaign since July[
IS appears to indicate the Allies will
not hesitate long before striking a I
new blow.
In Northern Russia, the Bolshevik ;
forces have been defeated by the i
Allies, who are advancing south of
Archangel. In the far south, it is |
reported from Kiev, the Bolsheviki j
were successful in a.number of com
bats against the Czecho-Slovak
armies, operating in the Volga region
and along the Black sea littoral in
the government of Kuban.

Tried Every Medicine
Got fto Relief
Until He Learned Tonall
Helped Others
"I suffered from stomach trou
ble," says Peter Fagle, of Cornwall,
Lebanon county. Pa. "I could not
eat, nor sleep, on account of my ail
ments, due to stomach troubles. I
tried every medicine I thought would
do me good. I heard about Tonall
doing so much good for others, I
tried it.
"After taking one bottle of Tonall,
I can now sleep and eat, and feel
better all over. I recommend Ton
all to everybody now, as it certainly
has virtue and merit and as the
formula on the bottle tells what
roots, herbs and barks are In it.
They certainly must he good to pro
duce such remarkably quick re

This testimonial was given August

Shade Tree Commission
Appointment May Come
Along "in Due Time"
| City Commissioner Gross, who
! promised to introduce a shade tree
j ordinance yesterday and did not, ex-
I plains the lailurc to get this import
! ant measure under way with the
i statement that City Solicitor Fox :>d
! vises him that Mayor Keister, under
the law, must name the commission
and not having discussed the per
sonnel of the commission with the
Mayor or his colleagues it was neces
sary to further postpone action.
For several months the matter of
giving proper attention to the shade
trees of I-larribbutg has been under
consideration and it was understood
the general subject would be dis
cussed at the Erie convention of the
League of Third Class Cities, but if
it was taken up at Erie nothing has
been heard about it here.
Commissioner Gross now expects
to get the ordinance before city coun- J
cit next week.
At the meeting of Council yester-i
day Commissioner Burtnett observed
to Commissioner Gross:
"Mayor, if you don't trim the trees
in North Second street soon I won't,
bo able to wear my silk hat!"
Commissioner Gross replied, as his
colleagues laughed, "We'll take care
of that in due time."

"I said, 'Let's go for supper.' He

As she started out of the room,
she said, her husband was holding
the revolver to his head. He was

WAR PRISONERS
IN METZ DRIVE
HEAROF PEACE
Discouraged When Told of
Offer's Rejection'by Ger
many's Adversaries
With tlic American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept. 18.—German
and Austrian prisoners taken in the
recent advance by the Americans in
this section displayed great interest
when they learned of the Austrian
peace suggestion. They did not con
ceal their discouragement, however,
on being told of its rejection.
Stories told by the prisoners in
dicate a lack of harmony between
the Austrians and Germans and re
flect the lowered morale of the Cen
tral Powers. They realize the hope
lessness cf success.
The Germans apparently never
expected to be ousted from the St.
Mihiel salient. They had done much
work in building shelters and beer
gardens, and about the Souleveie
farm the country had been made to
look like a prosperous German
neighborhood with resorts where
townspeople might spend their holi
days.
Little clubhouses were built and
equipped not wholly in keeping with
front line operations. The dugouts
and shelters of the officers were
fitted almost luxuriously, some of the
larger ones being fitted with bath
tubs and running water and lighted
by electricity. Outside of many of
them were little summer houses
where the occupants wefe accus
tomed to sit and drink beer.
When the Americans advanced
they captured a German mess ser
geant who had been instructed to
pack up and leave, but who had un
derestimated the speed of the Amer
ican progress. He was carrying a
quantity of beer and cheese, and
when he saw the Americans ap
proaching, he did not run, but busied
himself like a bartender and received
them standing behind a table on
which the beer and cheese were
-eady for consumption.
Cardinal Farley Dies;
Priest For 48 Years
CARDINAL JOHN M. FARLEY
Mumaroncck, N. Y., Sept. 18. —
Cardinal John M. Farley, archbishop
of New York, died at his country
home here last night. The aged
prelate had been sinking rapidly
since he suffered a relapse last Sat
urday following partial recovery
from an attack, of pneumonia.
He was born in Newton Hamilton,
County Armagh, Ireland, April 20,
1842. his father being an innkeeper.
His parents died when he was V
years old and he was left largely' to
ritake his own way.
He came to New York and con
tinued his education at St. John's
College, Fordham, and at St. Jo
seph's Seminary, Troy, N. Y. Four
years he spent at the American Col
lege in Rome, and was ordained as
a priest there, June 11, 1870. After
his return to this country. Cardinal
Archbishop McCloskey engaged him
as secretary. In 1884 Pope Leo XIII
appointed him a private chamber-'
lain. In 1891 he became vicar-gen
eral of the arihdiocese of New York:
In 1892 domestic prelate of Pope
Leo: in 1893 apostolic prothonotarv.
and in the same year auxiliary bishop
of New York. Upon Archbishop
Corrigan's death, in 1902, he became
an archbishop. He was created car

A number of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce members
have phoned to the offices to ask for
rservations for the luncheon to be
held in the Board of Trade building
at noon Friday, when Lawrence
Veiller, national housing expert, will
report the results of the investiga
tion of local housing conditions
which he will make to-morrow and

Only as many covers are laid as
there are phone reservations before

ice is promised to others. Reserva

started before the Public Service
Commission to-morrow and bids tair
to be interesting. It will be the first
time that rates of a public utility
here has been attacked in a long
period and the litigation may be fill
ed with matters that will attract
wide attention.
The complaint filed a few days ago
: against the terminals, linehnd serv
ice of the Valley Railways Company,
has been sent to the company 'or
answer under the rules of the com
mission and anticipating formal com
plaints from residents of the West
Shore the company has engineers at
work making a physical valuation of
the properties and a study of the
conditions at terminals which are
crowded due to the sudden increase
of traffic caused by the Marsh Run
operation. Counter studies are un
der way bv residents on the com
pany's schedule and the number of
cars in use.
, There 's no formal complaint
against the Harrisburg Railways
Company, except the Herring case
from last winter and the decision in
that is due within a short time. It
is believed that it will call upon the
company to make certain improve
ments in service, but will not touch
any fare question. The Quinn let
ter to Chairman Ainey about the
capitalization of companies in the
system is rot regarded at the Capitol
as a formal complaint. The situa
tion in regard to jitneys is that those
involved in the proceedings in the
Superior Court may run without
state certificates pending the appeal
I which was made a supersedeas large
i ly because there were no affidavits of
violation of the commission order
| filed. Other jitneymen are liable
to action bv any one if they do not
have a certificate.
There are no complaints pending
against the electric rates or the tele
phone service here, but the Harris
burg Gas Company is defendant in a
number of minor complaints, chiefly
about extensions.
The Progress water complaint
I cases will come up shortly as will
| others involving water service in
| Susquehanna and other townships
' cast of the city, while the Hummels-
I town Consolidated Water cases will
be taken up finally next month. Mid
dletown's fuss was argued yesterday
and the commission disposed of the
Highspire water case by fixing a
valuation last year.
Scarcely a public utility company
in this city or vicinity has escaped
complaint before the state commis
sion In the last two years. Even
railroads have been haled be
fore the Commonwealth's represen
tatives.

YANKEE AIRMEN
IN BIG DRIVE
[Continued from First Page.]
dromes were so thoroughly bombed
that the Germans were not able to
do much of anything in the air
fighting.
Attack Before Offensive
Pursuit groups played a large part
in maintaining bombing barrages
over the sector in advance of the at
tack and they engaged enemy air
planes and balloons wherever they
were found. The work of the Ameri
can observation corps was greatly
facilitated by this activity. More
than 30,000 rounds of thachine gun
bullets were fired at convoys, artil
lery and troop concentrations. The
pursuit groups followed the British
method of attack in launching small
bombs at the concentrations they dis
covered.
Drive Against Hun Dumps
A number of valuable reconnais
sances were made by aviators, who
kept those in the rear in constant
touch with the shifting of the front
line. No less than 350 attacks were
carried out against enemy ammuni
tion dumps, batteries and other Im
portant targets. Observers penetrat
ed the enemy line to depths up to
thirty miles day and night and bomb
ing units made the surprising total
of more than 1,000 raids on railroad
centers and junctions.
Hostile Batteries Spotted
The cloudy weather interfered
with the work of the balloon observ
ers. b'lt there were scores of ascen
sions during which fifty-five hostile
batteries were spotted and American
artillery fire was regulated. The
French also played a conspicuous
part in the fighting. During the four
days there were seventy-five aerial
combats, during which nine enemy
machines were shot down and fifty
four more were driven down out of
control. Thirty enemy balloons were
destroyed during this period.

Washington, Sept. 18.—The object
of the movement on the Macedonian

The Serbs are fighting for the
restoration of their native land. The
Bulgarians already are having trou

many, Turkey and Austria. In some
quarters It is believed they may de

peace, trying to save as much of
their acquired territory as they can.
The Bulgarians have killed many
thousunds of Serbs and Rumanians,
but the forces of the Entente are as
sured of the ardent support of the
people who have survived the mas

Touring Car Collides
With Third' Street Trolley;
Driver Misjudged Distance
A Grant touring car containing
Roy Herr, a Harrisburg engineer,
and his wife, living at 1200 North
Sixth street, collided with a south
bound trolley car at Third and Cum
berland streets, early this afternoon,
severely shaking up the occupants
of the machine, but causing no In
juries. Passengers of the street car,
mostly women, were thrown into a
mild panic following the accident.
Herr, with his wife, returning from
a visit to Mifflin, attempted to cross
Third street at Cumberland ahead of
an oncoming trolley when the latter,
failing to stop at that corner, ran
into the machine, demolishing the
windshield, breaking the steering
gear and otherwise damaging the au
tomobile. The loss to Herr will
amount to about SIOO. Herr's ex
planation of the accident is that he
considered the street car far enough
away to permit his crossing Third
street and his miscalculation of the
distance caused his undoing, he
said.

Hung Right on;
Didn't Budge;
Says Buxton
Then He Got the Itcmcdy That Gave
the Knockout Blow
Harry Buxton, the well-known
barber at the Royal Shop, 13 North
Third street, Harrisburg, Pa., caught
a cold—a nasty, nagging cold, the
kind that gets a grip on a man and
makes hint feel as if life wasn't
worth living and everything was a
burden—and try as he would he
couldn't get rid of it.
He says: "I woke up one morn
ing and found that I had a hum-,
dinger of a cold. It had me for fair.
I felt as if I had been beaten up
and I didn't care a whoop which
team won the pennant. I dosed my
self in the usual way but old Mr. i
Cold he hung right on and refused
to budge.
"I did everything I could to chase
him, but nothing doing, he stayed
right on the job morning, noon and
night, and he got me worried. I
was feeling pretty mean.
"Then I happened to hear about
Tanlac and thinks I, I'll give it a
; trial; maybe it will do the trick.
And believe me, it did. And it did
more than rid me of this cold, for
it has made me feel about 100 per
cent, better than I usually feel. I'm
in great shape, wonderful appetite,
aleep fine and feel energetic all
day long.. Tanlac is sure great
stuff."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.

POSLAM LIKES
BAD CASES OF
FIERY ECZEMA
When Poslam takes hold of viru
lent and stubborn eczema, it soothes
and cools at once, putting a stop to
the terrific itching. On raw parts of
' the skin it feels immeasurably
' grateful. As Polsam continues to
penetrate there develops just the
healing process needed. Contrast the
ease of healing with the severity of
the trouble, and Poslam's work seems
remarkable indeed. One ounce of
Poslam is worth a pound of ointment
less efficient.
Sold everywhere. For free sample
write to Emergency Laboratories, 243
West 47th St., New York City.
Urge your skin to become fresher,
clearer, better by the daily use of
Poslam Soap, medicated with Poslam.
