More than 1.500 workers in the
United War Work Campaign in Har

trict comprising ten surrounding
counties, took the lid off at their
round-up meeting in the Chestnut

celebrated the raising of the city's

Henderson Gilbert, as chairman of
the "stunts" committee, was ring
leader of the bunch. He led the Ro

afresh with each encouraging report
by the team captains. Appropriate
songs were sung, indicating the mem

Workers Praised

Insisted on a march being played
when he went to get his present. The
broom and other presents. It was
said, were given him because he did
"the dirty work." J. William Bow
man wore a sign advising the au
dience to "buy from Kaufman" and
to let "their quotas kick him, he's
the goat."
Other appropriate presents were
given. Music was furnished by the
Municipal band. During the rendi
tion of the Star Spangled Banner,
which closed the meeting, the levity
was forgotten for a moment, tvhib
each worker shook hands with his
neighbors.
It was a great night, said the work
ers, and every one present who was
not a worker for the United War
Work fund thought the campaigners
deserved the slight relaxation from
their strenuous efforts of the past
three weeks. Praise for the workers
whs heard on all sides, and those in
charge of the drive received com
mendation for the handling of the
many activities.

EARLY DELIVERY
OF MILK STOPS
FOR THE WINTER
Retailers Also Consider Aban
donment of Sunday
Sales
Further trials of the daylight
system of milk delivery inaugurated
by dealers In this city will be neces
sary in order to determine Its feasi
bility as a permanent measure. If
successful, it is planned to make
milk deliveries throughout the win
ter months between 6 and 7 o'clock
in the morning, fully three and four
hours later than the customary time
for serving this product. The Har
risburg Milk Association and the
Dauphin County Food Administra
tion are back of the new plan. In
other cities, notably Philadelphia,
the system of daylight delivery has
proved a success.
Milk dealers are also consider
ing the elimination of Sunday de
liveries by making two on Satur
day. This step, if taken at all,
will be contingent upon the success
of the daylight delivery plan.
Getting Soldier Boys
Home Is Hurley's Task
: New York, Nov. 16. —Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board, announced
here last night on the eve of his
departure for Europe, that the gov
ernment intends to return to this
country speedily a large part of the
American Expeditionary Forces. The
purpose of Mr. Hurley's trip to Eu
rope is to arrange the details for
their transportation.
To offset the loss of transport ton
nage through the withdrawal of
British ships hitherto engaged in
carrying American soldiers overseas,
Mr. Hurley hopes to utilize twenty
five or thirty German and Austrian
liners, with accommodations for 4,-
000 nien each. In compensation for
the "loan" of these vessels, he said,
food would be sent to the people of
Central Europe on their return voy
ages.
Mr. Hurley said the Shipping
Board would be able to bring troops
I back at the rate of 300,000 a month,
11 "if the War Department wants them
I returned s>s fast as that." He would
meet General Pershing at American
Field Headquarters, he added, to
• discuss the details of their home
| coming.

HXRHBSBURG ClfOK&l TELEGRAPH!
AID TO SOLDIER
FARMERS SOON
Secretary Patton Makes Some
Suggestions to State Com
mission on Subject
The State Commission of Agricul
ture will probably recommend to the
next Legislature a plan suggested
by Secretary Charles E. Patton to as
sist returned soldiers in buying farms
on the installment plan. The com
missioners discussed the project at
their meeting here this week and
will seek the opinion of men who
have had experience In organizing
financial institutions. In event that
the plan is backed by financial in
terests the Legislature will be asked
to take early.steps In view of the
return of the men next year.
The point is made that tjiere will
be many men who would be ready to
take up farming when they return
from war and that there are many
tracts which are available or which
will be next year. The scheme is
either to insure these men means
to buy small farms or to help them
get located as tenants.
Secretary Patton has suggested a
plan whereby financial organizations
may be formed that will act along
the lines of 'building and loan asso
ciations. to extend financial help to
persons desiring to buy farms or to
tenant farmers desiring to finance
their crops. The plan is for an or
ganization on the basis of building
and loan associations, except that
short time loans can be secured as
well as long term ones.
Secretary Patton says that the
need for such associations is appar
ent as the Federal Farm Loan sys
tem helps only the man who owns
the farm in fee. His suggestion is
to help the man make payments along
the same plan as the Federal Farm
Loan. Under such a system an own
er would be enabled to secure help
aftey his first payment on a farm and
would be given loans on his crops
that would assure his meeting the
additional payments. Arrangements
could also be made for financing
these worthy farmers in securing the
most improved implements, best fer
tilizers and seed in order to bring
crops that would help the farmer
to meet the obligations assumed
through the new order Agricultural
Loan Association. All the loans on
crops can be paid after the harvest
of the crops and the farmer is en
abled to go into the market and se
cure what material he requires for
the better system of farming.
Cumberland War Fund
Committee Hard at Work
Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 16.—With two
days remaining, Cumberland county
is still considerably behind the quota
needed to reach the goal in the
United War Work campaign. The
campaign in the towns is proceeding
fairly well, but is lagging in some
country districts. In certain sections
special offerings will be taken in I
churches to-morrow. The canvass of j
the S. T. C. A. at Dickinson College j
has been postponed until Monday.
In Carlisle persons who failed to |
subscribe to the war chest and new. I
comers are being solicited for the
campaign. The town has to raise $l,-
000 more than the $ll,OOO secured
from the Benevolent and Patriotic
Fund, as the Carlisle war chest was
named. The first school to secure a
Victory rank was Myerstown school
in South Dickinson township and a
number of others are expected to
reach the same goal before the end
of the drive.
Form Association to
Help "Men Across Sea"
Carlisle. Pa., Nov. 16.—Led by
Former Revenue Collector R. E.
Shearer, an unique association has
been formed here, known as "The
Association of Fathers, Mothers and
Wives of Men Across the Sea." The
plan will be carried to other sec
[ tions of the county and the objects
are to give all the aid possible to
men when they return to their
homes, to aid fathers and mothers
and secure information concerning
men and to prepare adequate rec
ords showing what the men in serv
ice have done and also records of
those who failed to do their duty,
and did not serve their country in
the hour of need.

ENTENTE HEADS
DISCUSS PEACE
BEFORE SITTING
France Expects President
Wilson to Visit Before
Christnihs-
Pari*. Nov. 16.—The newspapers
here announce that the premiers and
foreign ministers of the Entente were
about to confer or had even begu •
to confer, at Paris and Versailles.
This news seems at present to be
premature. Several representatives
of the Allied governments, including
Earl Curzon, member of the British
War Council, and Baron Sonnlno, the
Italian foreign minister, certainly
had brief exchanges of vtews In Parts
with Premier Clemenceau and For
eign Minister Pichon on the question
of peace negotiations, but Earl Cur
zon already has returned to England
and Baron Sonnino goes to Home
Sunday for the opening of parlia
ment..
It probably will not be before the
end of November that the discussion
of the preliminaries can be opened.
Until then the Entente chancelleries
will examine the method of work to
be adopted as well as the cond tions
to be insisted upon.
It is understood that several of the
Allies already have chosen their
plenipotentiaries, and it would ar
pear that most of the meetings will be
held in Paris, plenary meetings on'y
being held at Versailles. Dispute. les
have announced that President IV u
son will come to France before lid-
December to be present at the peace
conference, but up to the present
this news has not been confirmed.
