British ' I troops last night advanced their lines I for an average nepth of 600 yards ! along a front of 1,100 yards.

The lawyers who were on duty in the Pity Council chamber this morn ing to aid the registrants who appeal ed for help in filling opt and signing their questionnaires, were simply swamped with the number of regis trants who came for advice. At 11:30 the room was so tilled with the regis trants and their dependants that it was impossible for them to get into the jammed Council chamber. and many of them had to wait in the halls until the lawyers could give them their auttention. More than a dozen lawyers were on hand, but they were not nearly enough to handle the crowd. CAPT. STACKPOLE SLIGHTLY WOUNDED [Continued from First Page.] slightly wounded bv hand grenades, but on the night before the letter was written the regiment was order -1 receipt. "Learn to aspire in the ] spirit and you cannot go wrong in I your choice." It sounds very simple, doesn't it? | But do you know what it means? I Let Mr. Guernon explain it himself, j "It means," says Mr. Guernon, j "that you have to divorce yourself fro mevery mean, from every sor ] did, from every false and artificial motive. Every heart has in its ] depths one true and pure desire— ; one true, unfailing instinct towards happiness. It is a voice that calls j us to our real destiny and warns ( ■ us against the snares and delusions j jof the world. If we follow that I voice, we are true to the one deep | passionate desire of out lives,we ' j are safe; if not, we go the road of 1 failure, no matter how successful j we are in the eyes of others. "But how many of us follow that' voice? We are betrayed by duty, I bv ambition, by four, by weakness,! led to the rear for a rest. In a let ter to the home folks he says: | "After a strenuous time for two ; months I believe I see signs of a! | coming rest and we shall be given al | chance to reorganize in a place where | I constant shell lire and inability to re i move one's clothing at night are not' the chief feature. For the past three | or four days my battalion has been j • in a place of comparative quiet, al-' I though subject to call any minute! J during the day or night. We have! j just completed a ratller long turn ion the line with some adventures! j which I cannot tell you about at [ this time except that I had the privi- ] | lege of taking a number of German prisoners and got a piece of shrapnel | in my back. "Judging from all indications and j I from the tone of the press as re- ! I liecting the opinion and judgment of; i the military commands and critics, i i the Hun will have to do some tall ! work even to pull himself together j for a spring offensive. He seems to be getting it on all sides and is hav- j ing little success in holding at any, point along the line. Prisoners that j have been taken at will are for The! most part of one mind in thinking! that a victory for Germany is out! of the question, but as to the time! | and manner in which it will be I I brought about there is little specula-1 j lion of value at this time. "Jerry 3trafes us about this time! i every afternoon with a string- of' | high explosive shells, none of wnich ' does any damage because we all seek j | dugouts the minute the whistle of the) first shell is heard. "There are funny instances! that would be ludicrous if the cause | of them was not so well known and the effects clearly understood. Most! everybody fears big shells and their j tearing effect in comparison with! which machine gun bullets are as, thistle down. A bomb dropped from j an aeroplane is equally fearful in its effect. "Our company kitchen is located some miles from us at the present time and about dusk the one hot meal that the company receives isj brought up to us in a ration car. 1 Hast night my mess sergeant brought, me a big surprise in the shape of a huge pumpkin pie, which looked like: a million dollars to a pie-starved j soldier. Tt seems I have an cm-l bryo baker among my kitchen for^c' and upon whose prowess I intend] to rely to a great extent in the fu ture. "From all records we can enko| together fron. various sources the Heche is making a strategic retreat, being harried constantly by the \l-| lies at every point and losing thou sands of nion and eons at every turn. I Just bow far he will have to go will | nrohably depend on what Marshal T' ooli derides to do. We are all won-' derlng. of course, whether the fight- j ing will continue right through the! winter or whether the two sides will i ' settle down nnd get readv for !hej final roundup In the spring. Certain 1 German prisoners mn't see how :h"!' war can Inst until Christmas, but of! course that Is simply their own opin- ' Ion." I I Under date of September 3, Cap-|' ■ by greed, by a thousand other con : oiderations, from lollowing the 1 prompting of our heat Is. Take, lor example, the case of C.ina Ashling, the heroine of "Eyes of Youth." ; All along her heart told l.er to marry the man she loved. That desi-e was the crystal in which her future hap -1 j piness was revealed. Uhe would have •j followed that call instantly. But ■ j she hesitated. She hesitated because I she was deceived for a v.hiie by the lure of an operatic career, by the I I sense of duty to others, by the need I lor money. These false desires were I also like crystais in which the fu t ture was revealed—a future of mis- I ery. Then came the Hindu end j showed her the truth." The future is where the heart is. I That is Mr. Gucrnon's creed. If you 'would know what the future holds! I for you, look into your heart and see. I tain Stackpole writes: "You ought to see the difference in the manner and spirit of the men of my battalion ] to-day. We were relieved from front line duty late last night, hiked baex j a certain number of miles and are j located in a large woods with our kitchens in a place where there is none of our own artillery and where i they claim the Germans haven't | dropped a single shell. The relief is j wonderful. Our losses have been | very heavy and we did a pretty long , turn us turns go on the line with the | result that the men, those who were ■ not wounded, were ready for a good j rest. I "Well, we are back now and the j first thing we are doing is to lay out ! our camp and cohstruct for ourselves j comfortable living quarters. The | first thing I heard this morning was : a bugle sounding all manner of calls. I it gave one a queer feeling as it was : so much like a training camp fe-a --j lure and the first we had heard since the company was tumbled out of j camp at 2 o'clock in the morning of I July 4th to take over some trenches ; a few miles from where the Ger j mans had broken through. Then to cap the climax we were given a good hot meal and the regimental band | pulled in and gave us some fine rag j time. * * * A great change haa come over everybody, the men are all j whistling and kidding each other | again and life has assumed a more | cheerful aspect. Not that the fight " ing spirit has not been there right along, but you can understand Hie ! depression of losing one's best friends | that comes to the men. A large truck I came in with cigars and peaches, a j supply of which will be presented ' to fhe men at the evening meal to j night. I have no officers left in my com | pany. One was killed the other : day and the others had all been | wounded and sent to the hospital sometime previous to that. I seem to be the fortunate one every time, but hate to iose all my officers. "Your letters arrived while I was on outpost duty the other night and : it surely was comforting to read how interesting and enthusiastic the peo ple hack homo are. The American soldier is doing exceptionally well over here a'nd the Twenty-eighth Division so far has made a good reputation, 1 believe. We have seen as much lighting as any other Amer ican division since the Allied counter offensive got under way. From all reports higher authority is apparent ly satisfied. "The Germans are being constant ly harasse-l on a wide front and ,ic getting no rest whatever. They sur render to us like sheep. "General Muir and his staff rode through here this afternoon, giving our camp an air of distinction." 1 Captain Stackpole in another let ter refers to the dropping of a large quantity of explosives in the midst of his company, killing six of his men and wounding twenty-five. He, observes (hat he doesn't like to dweil'! upon the losses, but speaks optimis tically of the morale of the men and their determination to see the thing through. . j MAKKKTS NEW VOIIK STOCKS Chandler Brothers and Company, members of New York and Philadel phia Stock Exchange—3 North Mar ket Squat e, llarrisburg; 336 Chestnut street, Philadelphia; 34 Pine street, .
