In the basement of the Publlo Library. You will not be drafted! This is a census for war purposes! I Beginning this week, the Harris-1 "burg chapter of the American Red : Cross has commenced a survey of l the nttrslng resources of this district! In co-operation with the national nursing census undertaken by the national organization. Mrs. James 1. Chamberlain will act as chairman of the Survey Committee. The plan of the survey will be to locate every nurse who conies within the scope of the survey; to induce her to be recorded on a question naire; to impress on each community the necessity of meeting the nursing j situation; to help the American Red; Cross in its campaign to secure en- j rollments. To this end. a special committee will be detailed to reg ister all questionnaires. Included in 1 the survey will be graduate nurses, pupil nurses, yngraduated nurses, trained attendants, practical nurses, midwives, women who have taken Red Cross courses. All of these are j Invited to get into communication immediately with Mrs. James 1 Chamberlain, chairman of the sur vey Committee at Red Cross head quarters. It is not intended that the nurses who fill the questionnaires obtainable at Red Cross Headquarters, will be subject to call for service- The idea j is rather to gain an idea of the nur- j sing resources of the country in or- j der that when there is any further need, there can be more definite preparations made. Pleads For Loyalty to Big War Effort; Pulpit Shows Grief The Rev. Merton F. Pales occu pied the pulpit of Westminster Pres byterian Church yesterday morning and evening by direction of Carlisle Presbytery. There were interested audiences present both morning and evening. All felt the absence of their pastor, the late Rev. Edwin E. Curtis, and reference to his passing out brought tears to many eyes. The pulpit had been draped in black as a sign of the congregation s sorrow. The morning Herman topic was in. Rainbow of Gods Promise. Ihe special music consisted of the sing ins of Dudley Buck's "Rock ot Ages.'" by a quartet. Miss V\ ilson singing the incidental solo, and Ash ford's My Task." sung by Augustus G. Shantz, tenor. j In the evening there was a plea, for the United War Work Fund, the ( minister emphasizing the need 01 , ail persons, without respect to na tionality or creed, contributing. He| said there had been some feeling shown in '-a tain quarters on account • of the difference in creed. Mr. Fales; said this should not be. and he plead- ( ed. in the nam*- of the Presbyterian , Church, which is noted for its liber-; ality. that the greatest support be given those who are engaged in the ; work of raising the big fund. 1 The activltes at Westminster Willi be resumed this week. The Boy Scouts. Men's League, the midweek j prayer service and other weekday church work are to proceed. The, services will be held next Sunday as, usual. The announcement of who is. to occupy the pulpit is to be made, during the week.

Lieutenant William Caldwell, of, Armagh, is reported dea'd from wounds, while Lieutenant Charles Simp'ov. is among those slain on the ; field of battle. Both were members of fompani ¥of the 110 th Infantry, and in the heavy fighting in which Caldwell fell , wounded, the company was order ed to retire. Simpson saw his com rade fall and refused to fall back, saying to his platoon: "I will never retreat as long as; any friend Caldwell lies out there." So he ran a mile, obtained a stretcher and then, assisted by Frank Compton and three other boys of Indiana, carried Caldwell through : shell fire for three miles to a place of safety. For this brave act Simp son was promoted to a commission, and in the next charge he fell mort ally wounded dying before he could be taken to a hospital. Gen.

A woman's voice inquired as to whether or not at that hour there were any new developments 1 to cause the resumption of signals lof tho signing of the armistice.

Kreider congressman from the Eighteenth District, lias heart ily expressed his approval of the Vnited War Work Fund, for which $170,500,000 will bo raised during the campaign being waged the next two weeks. Mr. Kreider joins with the executive committee in an ap peal for the support of the fund. Mr. Kreider's endorsement of the United War Work Campaign l'ol i lows: | "Permit me, through your val uable columns to say a word in be | half of the organizations in whose i interest a combined drive lias been | authorised and is now being con | ducted to secure funds with which I to continue the splendid work that I has been done by these organiza | tions and which is so much nppre | ciated and has proven such a bless ! ing to our boys engaged in this ! most cruel and terrible of all wars. : "As the Representative of our | District, I am, perhaps, in a little I closer touch with the boys than ! some of us, as they frequently come to me for advice, counsel and assis tance and they never come too often, so that I am in a position to know how much they appreciate the work of these Associations and NOVEMBER 11, 1918. those whose contributions fuukc the' work possible. "Allow ine to suggest that a con tribution to tills fund forms the best possible avenue through which we may express to our, boys our appreciation of the sacrifice they are mukinK and the splendid work they are doing and our desire to aid, comfort and cheer them. "It is true, many demands are made on us for the prosecution of the war. The Government levies taxes which we pay, 1 hope gladly; the Government lias asked us to buy Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds, which we did, but this is an investment on which we draw a reasonable amount of interest and which is not a sacrifice to many of us; but a contribution to this fund is u direct contribution to the boys them selves, prompted by sentiment, a sense of gratitude, esteem and love for them. "Can unyono underestimate the effect and influence on our boys, when they know we are with them in heart and soul, and our love for them finds expression, not 'only iu high-sounding words', classical phraseology, but in a contribution of actual and real money which we have earned with our own liunlls with a loving heart and with the thought and hope that it may in some way alleviate the hardships and deprivations which they have taken upon themselves for our sake. "Let us one and atl give and sup port this movement, not grudgingly, or of necessity, but freely and cheer fully with a loving heart and mind and which we give freely and gludly for their sake." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | WOMEN'S WORK IN TRIO EMERGENCY HOSPITAL To the Editor of the Telegraph: Now that the Emergency Hospital at Fifth and Seneca streets has clos ed. I wish to call attention to thi splendid work rendered there by wo men of Harrisburg during tho Influ enza epidemic. Nurses, teachers, stenographers, liouskeepers, bun- * ness women, High School girls. Its* Cross uids and others gave the fun measure of strength and to tho care of the sick. The public school teachers deserve especial mention. They outnumbered all other professions and by their faith ful nttendenco and efficient service made possible the smooth running of .the Hospital. Work in the kitchen and in the 1 wards entailed long hours, arduous labor and grave risk of catchng influenza, pneumonia and certain other dread diseases with which some of tho patients were afflicted. * The most revolting tusks were per formed with a smile. Everything was done to promote cheerfulness. The orphaned babies in the child ren's ward were mothered with lov ing care. The entire hospital was pervaded with an atmosphere of wil ling service and reflected the spirit of tlie Great Physician who said, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my breth ren, ye have done It unto me."
