CIVILIANS JOIN
ALLIES IN MARCH
AGAINST GHENT
Queen of Belgium Watches
Battle For Possession of
Famous City
With the Allied Armlca In France
nnl RotKhim, Nov. 4. (Delayed).—Al
lied troops to-day began the siege of
the city of Ghent, already surrounded
virtually on three sides. The assault
on the city was witnessed by Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium, and hundreds
of her noncombatant subjects.
Belgian, French and American sol
diers this afternoon had pushed up
to the eastern outskirts of the be
leaguered city with comparatively
light resistance from the enemy, who
apparently had evacuated the place.
As the Allied troops advanced on
the city, the setting was a most
dramatic one. Civilians mingled with
the soldiers at many points and as
the infantry moved forward, pleasure
boats moved hither arfd thither along
the winding canals on the western
edge carrying civilians who had col
lected to see the restoration of their
beloved city. Within the little white
cottages along the banks of the canal
were German machine gunners whose
weapons dominated the waterways
und the roads.
For some reason most of the guns
were silent. Overhead Belgian air
planes swirled ancl dove like great
birds, but there was no challenge
from the German untiaircraft guns.
Into this scene of mimic warfare
came the Queen of Belgium who mo
tored to within two and one-half
miles of the city.
City Little Damaged
War has little damaged the coun
tryside about Ghent. Yesterday the
German guns threw shells into ham
lets near the front, but this section
of Belgium shows little signs of de
vastation. •
Whether the Germans actually
have withdrawn from Ghent or in
tend to hold on a little longer was
not clearly apparent to-day. However
it seemed only a matter of time he
fore Belgian troops would be match
ing through the city, whose streets
have rung to the tramp of German
soldiery for four years.

Thousands of the best people are
using Tonall with wonderful results.
Particularly those afflicted with
stomach troubles, arising from acid
ity or sourness—those who have
indigestion—are joyful in being re
stored to health.
As a tonic Tonall lias no equal,
and those recovering from the ef
fects of the Spanish influenza will
need a strength builder, a blood
purifier and a system restorer. It
would be well for them to at once
begin to use Tonall—a remedy com
pounded of Roots, Herbs and Barks,
all well known for their curative
powers and restorative qualities.
What better endorsement does
the suffering require than the nu
merous testimonials published daily
in the newspapers by those who
have used tried anil tested Tonall?
Tonall is sold at the Gorgas Drug
Store, Harrisburg, and at the Her
she.v Drug Store, Llershey.

HELP BUILD BIG
U.S. ARMY DEPOT
| Major Gray Is Chief Construc
tion Engineer at Dela
ware Plant
The remarkable manner in which
: the Government has been speeding
! up the building of its bombing plant
;at Rockwell Park, Delaware, since
! the work of construction was taken
| over by Mujor William B. Gray and
\ staff in September, and the stupen
| do us size of this work was revealed
I to-day in an interview with Welling
| ton G. Jones, of this city, and now
| chief clerk of the police and Are de
-1 partments of the Rockwell Park
i plant.
The new bomb loading plant, for
which an authorized expenditure of
$0,000,000 has been made, is located
on the Delaware river twenty-two
inilcs south of Wilmington and near
the Delawaro Breakwater; iifteen
square miles have been taken over;
all temporary buildings have been
completed and construction is being
pushed on the permanent buildings.
A large dyke and pier for loading
and unloading have also been con
structed, and fully two thousand per
sons are now employed at the plant.
Major Gray, the constructing
quartermaster at the recently-com
pleted Middletown Ordnance Plant,
has nearly his entire staff with him
on this work which ho had on the
Middletown project. Among these
are a great number of Harrlsburgers.
Although the Rockwell Park plant
was to have been completed by the
first of the year, the undertaking has
been on such a grand scale that it
is now considered impossible to fin
ish the work by that time.
Foetl 2,000 at One Time
Among the things that have been
done and that are yet to be done at
Rockwell Park are a number of in
teresting projects which 'will make
tor the comfort of employes. At
present the comissary department
is able to feed 2,000 persons at one
time. There are dormitories for
clerks and office people. These con
tain shower baths and recreation
rooms. A new dormitory is under
construction for girls and is expect
ed to be completed in the near fu
ture.
In addition to the original tract
taken over at Rockwell Park, the
Government has purchase Augus
tine Beach entire, a one-time famous
summer resort, located about a mile
and a half front the bomb-loading
plant. Here bath-houses have been
erected for the pleasure of employes,
and present facilities will furnish ac
commodations for the housing of 200
or more clerks.
But this is not all! Five miles
from the camp the Housing Com
mission has had the Charles R.
Ward Engineering Company, of
Washington, constructing houses,
which, when all are completed, will
accommodate fully seven thousand
people. The Government has taken
over all roads in Delaware and is
making improvements on these that
lite work at the new bombing plant
may be speeded up to the full extent.
Five Railway Dines
Five railroad lines arc now run
ning into the camp, connecting with
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio systems. Besides this, the
Government has purchased Augus
barge for transporting matrials and
supplies, which plies between the
camp and Philadelphia und Wil
mington.
Major Gray has nearly his entire
staff with him which he had at Mid
dletown, including one hundred po
lice and seventy-live firemen, mostly
llarrisburgers. Prominent among
these is C. A. Garvericli, former fire
chief in 'this city. Wellington G.
Jones, another llarrisburger, and
formerly sporting editor of the Tele
graph, is chief clerk of the fire de
partment. There are three tirehouses
at the plant and the police depart
ment lias commodious •I'nrUrs, all
in charge of Mr. Jones.
Among the weU-kndwn Harris
burgers on Major Gray's staff are
the following: Captain Harrie A.
Douglas, assistant quartermaster;
Captain George Dunham, who has
charge of concrete, brick and cement
work; Captain Louis E. Moore, in
charge of property; Captain Ellwood
Avery, in charge of water supply
and sanitation, and Lieutenant J. E.
Guciber, now residing at Wilming
ton.
The work on the Rockwell Park
plant was begun in August, 1918,
Major Gray and his staff taking
charge in September. Owing to
changed conditiohs in the war situ
ation, the Government may make
some changes in their plans for the
plant, it is said. After cessation of
hostilities, the buildings would bo
used for Government storehouses.
