WAR WORK WEEK
IS ANNOUNCED
Governor Issues Proclamation
Urging That More Support
Be Given Agencies
The week commencing November
10 was to-day proclaimed as "United
War Work Compaign week" by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in a proclamation
Issued froih the Governor's office to
day. This proclamation which is the
fifth from the executive department
this week commends the efforts of
the seven agencies which are at work
as "the largest, finest volunteer ser
vice that has ever challenged the
thought of men and given hope and
help to the worthy."
The proclamation says:
"Whereas. The purposes and potency
of this government in the world wai
are now manifest throughout the
world. Two million Americans are
in Europe. They are the flower and
chivalry of our American life. They
are there to guard the spiritual des
tiny of nations. They seek no terri
tory. They ask no gain at the cost
of others. They carry with the flag
the ideals of a great nation and the
hope of civilized men. These men
and women are not plunderers, rob
bers and murderers. They are ot
that refined essence that makes for
the Kingdom of God among men. They
strike when necessary. They heal
when possible. Altogether it is the
sublimest spectacle God lias yet
spread before mankind. It is not an
army of conquest, but an army of
lofty, unselfish service. That they
may perform their duties supremely
well it is vital to maintain in them
away from home the finer spiritual
energies given them at home by par
ent, by school and by church. They
must never lose their ideals, for these
are their most enduring and ennob
ling gift to the cause they serve.
They represent American manhood
and womanhood. They are our gov
ernment incarnate. To us is given
the solemn duty, the sacred privilege
to guard them well, to help them
mightily, to support them heroically.
They are our sons and oul - daughters
—ambassadors of democracy, decency,
righteousness to the nations on the
better half of the world.
"To do this and to do it well, seven
approved agencies now serve them,
all dedicated- to the conservation of
the spiritual welfare of this increas
ing army. These agencies are the
Young Men's Christian Association,
the Young Women's Christian As
sociation, the National Catholic War
Council, the Jewish Welfare Board,
the War Camp Community Service.
The American Library Association
and the Salvation Army. They have
followed the flag and are with the
men in the farflung battle lines. They
are too busy with great service to
turn for support to us. We should
be eternally ashamed to allow them
to do so. It is our part to see that
they have moral and financial sup
port at every hearthstone in this Re
public. While they are officially rec
ognized by our government they are
supported wholly by the free will
offerings of our peqjile. Every man,
woman and child worthy to be In
this Republic should be in the army
of support to them.
"Now, Therefore. I, Martin G.
Brumbaugh. Governor of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, do here
by designate the week beginning
November tenth. 1918, as United War
Work Campaign Week, upon which
dates 1 am confident every man, wo
man and child worthy of this Com
monwealth and residing in or passing
through it will gladly seek out the
constituted committees set for the re
ceipt of funds for this cause and make
liberal, gracious and sacrificing gifts
to this, the largest, finest organized
volunteer service that lias ever chal
lenged the thought of men and given
hope and help to the worthy."

RED CROSS MAKES
SOLDIERS HAPPY
Ladies Provide Refreshments
Free to 3,800 in One
Day Here
I Yesterday was the record day for
the canteen committee of the Red
Cross of Harrisburg. The women of
that committee furnished refresh
ments, hot coffee, chocolate, apples,
'tobacco and newspapers and maga
zines to 3,800 soldiers. They were on
their way from Gettysburg to an
eastern embarkation camp. They
did not know themselves their exact
destination, but the very fact that
every boy wore an "overseas" cap
was certain evidence that they will
not be in this country long. Never a
happier lot of soldier boys passed
through Harrisburg, as many of
them had been in camp all summer,
and were extremely anxious to get
"over there."
The train movement was the larg
iest thatthe Reading railroad has had
i for several years, and while the ar
! rangements were perfect, the boys
j did not know of the exact time of
leaving Gettysburg and the postal
'cards they wrote from this city and
furnished' by the canteen committee
furnished the first information they
were able Ho get to their relatives
and friends. These cards were stamp
ed by the committee and mailed.
There were 4,000 of them and to
gether with the letters, it required
several clerks some little time to get
them out at the post office.
Kight Trainloads
Owing to the fact that the trains
did not pull into the Reading station
the women were compelled to go to
the "Y" at South Cameron street,
and there they found the employes
of the railroad ready and willing to
give them every assistance. The
trains were in eight sections and also
included transportation fdr 200 of-
Iflc'ers. They began to arrive early in
(the morning and came in at different
hours during the day and up until
I late last evening.
| It required considerable hustling
ion the part of the members of the
'canteen committee,' owing to the
I large amount of supplies required.
jThe women had prepared 217 gallons
iof coffee, with cream and sugar: also
gave out four barrels of apples, 150
pounds of chocolate, 75 pounds of
tobacco, thousands of magazines and
newspapers. The soldiers greatly ap
preciated the efforts of the women
and the cheers for the Red Cross
and the good people of Harrisburg,
could be heard for squares. Mrs. W.
H. Gaither, acting captain, said this
morning, and speaking for Mrs.
Francis J. Hall, chairman, that she
desired to extend the thanks of the
j committee to the employes of the
I Pennsylvania and Reading railroads,
for their kindness. The Reading train
'dispatcher ordered a special car on
the siding, where the women were
made comfortable between trains.
This work was carried on yesterday
entirely at the expense of the Har
risburg Red Cross, and not one cent
was accepted from a soldier.
Lemoyne Oversubscribes
Its Liberty Loan Quota
Lemoyne patriots fighting the Hun
through the use of Liberty Loan
shrapnel went over the front line
trenches yesterday when their quota
of $55,850 was oversubscribed by
$5,000. At the close of business for
Uncle Sam last evening above $60,-
000 had been subscribed for the cause
of Liberty.
The twelve hustling bond salesmen
who have been working day and night,
under the chairmanship of L. ST.'
Bricker, of the Liberty Loan Commit
tee, are being congratulated to a
man to-day on their magnificent
showing. To-day, the last in the
great drive, is expected to boost the
total subscriptions well over the
$70,000 mark.
HBW TRAFFIC RULES AT
FOURTH AND CHESTNUT
New traffic regulations governing
motorists at Fourth and Chestnut
streets, have been announced by the
police department. When, turning the
corner, motorists are to pass in
front of the policeman, rather than
keeping to the right and going
around* him. When coming off the
Mulberry street viaduct and going
north in Fourth street, the motor
ists remain to the right of the road.
