RED CROSS IN
FRANCE WANTS
MOREWORKERS
Harrisburg Women Asked to
Enlist For Service
Overseas
i
The American Red Cross has re
ceived a cable calling for two thou
sand women for canteen and hos
pital hut service overseas, to be sent
over during the next six weeks. Of
this number the Pennsylvania-Dela
ware division must furnish 180. Har
risburg has been asked to contribute
liberally to the division quota.
Explaining the needs for the
workers, a bulletin from division
headquarters to the local chapter,
received this morning has this to
say:
"In order to render the most ef
ficient service to troops, In canteens
and hospital huts abroad, these
women should be stroYig, cheerful,
good-looking, energetic and typical
ly American. Their very appearance
should have an invigorating and re
freshing quality, which will bring
something familiar, homelike and
pleasant into the strange and ex
hausting conditions of army life.
"Women who are 'good mixers'
and have a 'social gift,' are particu
larly valuable for this work; music,
ability to read aloud well, and to or
ganize entertainments, are import
ant assets. The knowledge of French
is useful, but not essential. An abil
ity to do good team work with the
other women in charge of the hut is
essential. Candidates must be be
tween the ages of 25 and 35.
An additional call for 1,500 nurses
aids has been received from Europe
by the division headquarters. Penn
sylvania has been asked to report
as soon as possible as to the num
ber of women she can furnish for
1 this important duty.
Applicants who desire to enter
Red Cross ranks as holders of these
positions may enroll at headquar
ters of the Harrisbflrg chapter,
American Red Cross, in the base
ment of the Harrisburg Public Li

British King Says
Allied Victory Is
Within Our Reach
London, Oct. 23.—King George re
ceived a large deputation of Inter
" parliamentary delegates at Bucking
ham Palace. The deputation included
thirty British representatives, twenty
two from France, eight from Italy
and one from Belgium.
"More than two years have passed,"
he said, "since the first visit of the
Interparliamentary Committee of the
French Chambers, when you and we
were in the throes of a conflict the
issue of which then seemed to many
foreign observers, uncertain, hlthough
you and we never doubted that our
cause, being the cause of right and
humanity, would prevail.
"Now the armies of France, Italy,
Belgium and the United States, side
by side with ours, are driving the
enemy before them, his forces shat
tered. his people clamoring for peace;
"Victory is within our reach, and
we arc all agreed that It must he a
complete victory."

Among the recent graduates from
the non-commissioned Officers Train

Brown, of Hummelstown, who was
made a corporal at the successful
termination of his preparatory mili

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEYTROU6LE
'lake Salts to Hush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat It, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
, forms uric acid which almost para
lyses the kidneys In their efforts to
expel It from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken, then
you suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take a tablespoonful ih
a glass of 'water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize the acids In
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
Injure, and makes a delightful efter
* vescent lithia-water drink.
QUICK RELIEF FROM"
. CONSTIPATION
Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician
for 17 years and calomers old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation ana torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth" —a
bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick
headache—torpid liver and are consti
pated, youll find quick, sure and only
pleasant results from one or two little
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take one or two every
night just to keep right. Try them.

COMMISSIONERS
GOINGTO CAMPS
At Least Sixty Will Be Named
by the Governor to Take
the Soldiers' Votes
Klectlon commissioners will be ap
pointed to-morrow by Governor Mar
tin G. Brumbaugh to take the votes
of Pennsylvania soldiers in the camps
and training stations in this coun
try. The number has not been de
termined as the governor's office is
still in communication with camps
where commanders have not sent word
as to the number of Keystone State
men under them, but it is believed
that there will be at least sixty-two
named.
The governor's office to-day tele
graphed to men suggested fob ap
pointment asking whether they could
accept the posts and when they are
appointed notice will be given to the
Secretary of State at Washington,
but the camps where they are to take
the votes will not be assigned until
shortly before the time for them to
start. It was also stated at the gov
ernor's office that the commissioners
would not be called here at one time
to take the oath and receive instruc
tions. but would be summoned in
small groups.
Governor Brumbaugh said to-day
that in deciding to name commission
ers he did so in order that every
Pennsylvanian in camps in this coun
try would have a chance to vote. War
Department regulations, he said, pre
| eluded sending any commissioners
abroad.
The general plan is to send nine
commissioners to Camp Lee, three
each to Meade and Oglethorpe: two
each to Dix and Sherman and one to
the others, including Wadsworth, j
Humphreys, Seattle and Greene.

Early Christmas Shopping
Necessary This Season
With shorter shopping hours than
ever before, merchants are urging the
public to begin its Christmas prepar
edness at once. Such an appeal was
just made some time ago, but while
buying in general is large, Christmas
shopping is not as brisk as it might
be. Merchants and managers of the
larger stores say that a considerable
number of persons are showing fore
thought by making the most of their
Christmas purchases now, but the
great bulk of these purchases were
for the boys "over there." The ar
ticles have already been sent on their
way to the front.
Merchants say that Christmas shop
ping now, when there is no unusual
crowding, will be much more satisfac
tory than when done under the crowd
ed and congested conditions created
by late Christmas shoppers.
All England Opposes
German Peace Terms
I.omlon, Oct. 23.—A1l England,
with the exception of the few pro
fessional pacifists who have wanted
peace at any price ever since the war
began, regards as unsatisfactory the
German reply to President Wilson's
note.
Lord Northcliffe, in his newspaper,
the Evening News, declares the re
ply unsatisfactory in every respect
and merely designed to draw the
Allies into negotiations, if not con
troversy. He says Germany must
get out of Alsace-Lorraine before
peace can be considered.

Six Big Elevens to
Play For War Fund
New York, Oct. 22. During the
united war work campaign next
month for funds to continue the
various" war work activities, sports
will be relied upon to furnish,
large contributions.
William R. Roper told the Gen
eral Sportß Committee yesterday
that three football games will be
played at the Polo Grounds on No
vember 9, 16 and 23, instead of
one game. He said that the plans
of the committee were nebulous
and that letters had been written
to five hundred colleges, asking
them to get into the drive.
Cornelius J. Sullivan announced
that John D. Rockefeller. Sr., had
donated 1200 medals to be played
for in golf competitions at clubs
the country over on Saturday,
November 16. He has issued an
appeal to all the clubs to take
part. The trophy will be called
the Victory medal and will bear
a likeness of General Foch, who
is an ardent golf enthusiast.'
Willie Hoppe, the blfiiard cham
pion. will play for the fund, but
insists on choosing his own op
ponents.
Eugene Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, sent
word that he would pay the ex
penses of a tour of the country

drive In the history of American ath
letics.
"Mr. Camp is a Arm believer in
using the athletics of America for pa
triotic purposes. He believes that the
great Northwest furnishes one of the
most fertile fields in America in which
to develop the idea and he will spend
several days in organising the move

mission on Training Camp Activities
he will map out the program for the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station,
where H. P. Olcott, the former Yale
varsity star, is athletic director. The
athletic possibilities of the Great
Lakes Station, the most extensive in
the world, for the coming drive, are
practically unlimited. No five univer
sities in the country were ever able to
match, in combined strength the foot

Coach Olcott has this rail. The pro

PRINCETON MAY
PLAYU. OF P.
Franklin Field Would Like to
Stage Turkey Day Game
• With the Tigers
In spite of Coach Folwell being:
stricken with pneumonia, the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania pig-skin experts
are developing a corking team, and
the prospects ate now that Penn may
play Princeton, Harvard or Yale in a
titanic battle for war funds. The
month of November will be "sport
month," by all tokens, for the fund of
$170,000,000 is to be raised chiefly by
persons active in outdoor recreation,
not to mention billiards and some of
the indoor sports.
William Roper, of Princeton, made
.this suggestion first to Penn in a let
ter asking whether the Red and Blue
would give its receipts from the Penn-
Pitt game, at Pittsburgh, on November
16, to the war fund.
Better than this, it was decided
after the conference at Franklin
Field, would be the plan to play
Princeton, Yale or Harvard. Such a
contest would pack any stadium to Its
capacity and prove the biggest money
maker for the fund that could possibly
be arranged.
Whether the game is played in
Philadelphia or elsewhere is imma
terial, and Penn will not raise any ob
jection If a foreign field is chosen, but,
as Acting Graduate Manager Bushnell
pointed out, a most satisfactory ar
rangement might be made to play the
proposed game on Franklin Field on
Thanksgiving Day, should Cornell de
cide not to play the annual turkey
game this year.
In glancing over the respective pos
sibilities of games with one of the big
college elevens, a contest with Prince
ton would seem the most easily ar
ranged. As at Pennsylvania, Prince
ton has a team composed entirely of
men in the Naval unit and the Stu
dents' Army Training Corps. Last
Saturday the Tigers walloped the
Navy Pay School at Palmer Field, 28
to 0. The contest revealed real foot
ball strength in the Orange and Black
elevens. An outstanding performer
was "Jonny" Poe, the fifth member of
the Poe family, celebrated In Prince
tori football annals. Poe played quar
terback.
Princeton would have no trouble in
reachln" Philadelphia in time for the
game, even if the departure was made
on the morning of the scheduled con
test. And the return trip could be
made Just as conveniently. There
would be no trouble at all in steering
clear of an overnight trip.
If Thanksgiving Day should not be
acceptable to Princeton the game
could be played either on November
23 or November 30. Both dates are
open on the Penn schedule.
Of the three big colleges, Princeton,
Yale and Harvard, Harvard was the
last to face the Red and Blue on
Franklin Field. This was In X 904,
when Stevenson, the great Penn quar
terback. had a run in with a wearer
of the Crimson, causing so much un
pleasantness that future football
games between Harvard and Penn
were never scheduled. i
WILSON'S ANSWER
TO BE GUIDED BY
ALLIEDJOUNCIL
Official Text of Peace Plea Is
Now in President's
Hands
By Associated Press,
Washington, Oct. 23. Although
no intimation has been given as to
the course President Wilson will fol
low in regard to the new German
note, there is a growing feeling here I
that he will be guided largely by the
decision of the supreme war council
at .Versailles, as the paramount issue
is a military one, involving with
drawal of the Teutonic armies from
France and Belgium as the first
requisite to consideration of the Ger
man plea for an armistice.
The official text of the German
reply as received yesterday by the
Swiss legation, together with the
English translation prepared by
Frederick Oederiin.thc Swiss charge,
was delivered today to Secretary
Lansing. The official translation was
expected to clear up rather vague
phrases referring to an armistice
contained in the unofficial version.
Difference of Opinion
In Washington there still is a dif
ference of opinion as to whether the
German note will draw an answer
from the President. Those contend
ing that it would not pointed to the.
fact that Mr. Wilson had character
ized his reply to the first note as a
"decision," meaning that there could
be no further discussion of the is
sues Involved. The other view which
found expression in official and dip
lomatic circles wus that a reply
would be made and that it would
deal chiefly with the military prob
lem.
Huns Play For Time
In some quarters there is a be
lief that the German denials of
cruelties and ruthless destruction
were designed to prolong the dis
cussions by drawing specific citations
of instances of such acts. Diplo
matic observers, however, believed
that these as well as Germany's
claim to the establishment of a par
liamentary government would be
left to the future.
In the general view, the only im
mediate question is whether the Ger
mans desire peace to the extent of
admitting military defeat in the
Held. Nothing short of such an ad
mission, which would leave the de
tails of an armistice to the Allied
command, was regarded as accepta
ble.
Liberal German Papers
Demand Kaiser Get Out
Amsterdam, Oct. 23.—The liberal
newspapers of Germany are de
manding the abdication of the Kai
ser ahd some of them go so far as
to threaten him and the other Ger
man rulers' guilty of precipitating
the world war with the gallows.
The Frankische Tageblatt, of Nu
reniburg, a Socialist newspaper of
the milder sort, says:
"William had stood otherwise be
fore history, had he, like Charles V.,
renounced his power instead of be
ing forced to lay down his crown
and marshal's staff and enter pri
vate life at President Wilson's be
hests
"Had he sacrificed himself for
the people and better peace condi
tions a fortnight ago, he had left
the throne with his opponents', even
the Social Democrats', gratitude.
"It is the misfortune of kings
that they refuse to hear the truth,
though Soctul Democrats have per
ished telling them. The war against
foreign enemies being lost, now the
enemies of our peoples' free develop
ment should be deprived of power."

Horses Arriving Now •
For the Great Show at
Madison Square Garden
Coming from Pride Crossing.
Mass.. twenty-eight horses entered
by Judge William H. Moore in the
National Horse Show, beginning
November 11 at Madison Square
Garden, arrived in New York yes
terday and were taken to his pri
vate stable in West Fifty-eighth
street. This is the first string of
show horses to reach New York for
the coming exhibition at the Gar
den, and from now on shipments
from Canada and the West will be
coming In at frequent Intervals.
. Included in the string were the
four gray coach horses, Lord Gray,
Lady Gray. Toronto and General,
that have won two legs on the Al
fred G. Vanderbllt Memorial Gold
Challenge Cup for road four-in
hand teams, and that will compete
again this year. J. Campbell
Thompson, who won the first com
petition for the gold cup in 1916,
will be one of Judge Moore's
principal competitors. He has as
sembled a brand new team made
up of gigantic gray hunters, the
wheelers standing 16.2 hands high
and the leaders 16.1 hands. Every
horse in the team has either fol
lowed the hounds or won prizes
over the jumps in the show ring,
and it is said they can trot a 3-
minute gait before a loaded coach.
Old rivals in the show ring.
Judge Moore and Mr. Thompson,
have had entries in the annual
competition for the Vanderbllt
Cup every since it was first of
fered. When Mr. Thompson de
feated Judge Moore in the first
contest the latter Immediately set
to work to assemble a new team,
and at the National Horse Show
of 1916 his new famous grays
turned the tables on the winners
of the previous year. It was then
Mr. Thompson's turn to go on a
hunt for new horses. He bought
at least a dozen "prospects," from
which he selected the four he is
going to show at the Garden. This
team was entered last year, but
the death of his kinsman, John
D. Crimmins, on the eve of tho
competition caused him to cancel
all his entries, and Judge Moore's
team had a walkover. The latter
now has two legs on the trophy
and another victory would make
it his permanent property.

committee or organization which so
licits funds for political purposes;

vention or use his position in the
railroad service to bring about his
selection as a delegate to political
conventions; solicit or receive funds
for a political purpose or contribute
to a political fund collected by an
official or employe of any railroad or
any public official; conduct a politi
cal campaign: attempt t coerce or
intimidate another officer or em
ploye in voting; or neglect railroad
duties to engage in politics or use
with an election.
Municipal offices, it is specified,
must not be permit ted to interfere
with railroad duties. Employes elect
ed to political offices before August
31, when the original order was is
sued, will be permitted to complete
their terms. Likewise if they had
become candidates, they are not re
quired to withdraw.

AMERICA'S HOME SHOE POLISH
I ARGE quantities of SHINOIA are pur
chased by the Government to he sold
to the Soldiers and Sailors.
We aim to make SHINOIA cost the men
serving their country and the public
back of the men, as little as possible.
War conditions turn men's heads to
profit making. We believe friends
and users are more valuable than the
profit of the moment. That is why
you can buy SHINOIA at the same price
as always.
