18 LONDONGREETS ITS LEADERS IN WARONGERMANS Hangs Out Flags in Honor of Field Marshal and Generals London, Dec. 3 9. —London hung out its flags and the seaport of Dover flung its gates wide open to-day to greet Field Marshal Halg and the commanders of the five British armies which fought in Belgium and France—Generals Plumer, Raw linson, llirdwood, Ryng and Horne. It was merely an informal wel come by London, but Dover made of it a great celebration. The news that the field marshal was coming homo to spend Christmas with his family at Kingston, became public and his fellow countrymen would not be de nied a chance to see and cheer the leader of thir armies. The real cele bration in London comes late in January or early in February. To Become a Peer The field marshal will then, ac cording to time-honored precedents, bo raised to a high rank in the peer age, and given a money grant by Parliament for his services to the nation. This is the procedure which lias been followed from the days of Wellington and Nelson down to Kitchener and Roberts. The welcome given the home coming generals to-day was similar to that given Marshal Foch and Premier Clemenceau of France and Premier Orlando, of Italy, a little over a week ago but there was less display. Premier Lloyd George, the Duke of Connaught, members of the cabinet, generals and lesser func tionaires from the war office, made up the receiving party at Charing Cross station. After first greetings, the civilian officials disappeared from the scene and the small pro cession proceeded through the prin cipal streets to Buckingham palace where King George entertained Field Marshal Half at luncheon. Airplanes escorted Field Marshal Haig's ship across the channel and followed his train to London. Holiday at Dover All business places at Dover %vere Closed and a holiday was declared. Admiral Keyes, commander of the port; ali the naval and military of ficers o< the city, the mayor, mem bers of thb Dover city council and Lord Beauchantp, warden of the Cinque ports, received the returning commanders? After Field Marshal Haig had been, presented an illumi nated address by the mayor, the generals proceeded to the station beneath rows of triumphal arches. Storms Delay Fleet; Review Postponed Washington, Dec. 19. —Postpone- ment from December 24 to Decem ber 26 of the review of the Atlantic fleet by Secretary Daniels at New York was announced last night at the Navy Department following re ceipts of a message from Admiral Mayo, . cqmhiaader of the units of the flf&t' rio\V returning from Euro pean waters. Admiral Mayo inform ed the department that bad weather is delaying the returning vessels and it would be impossible to reach New Yoiiifountil- theydfiy after Christmas. "Qlo fuxi>sngp from Admiral Mayo was received by Secretary Daniels aboard the Presidential yacht May flower at Annapolis and was trans mitted to the Navy Department, which ' issued the following state ment: "TLq .Secretary of the Navy has received a from Admiral Mayo saying that had weather in the Atlantic is delaying the prograss home of the Atlantic fleet. For that reason it will be necessary to post pone the naval review at New York from December 24 to December 26." PHONETIC WRITING ADOPTED IX CHINA XfW' Haven, Conn.

RAILROAD NOTES William Lower, of South Center street, Sunbury, Pennsylvania rail road employe, met with a painful ac cident Tuesday afternoon. In getting off a small push car along the track near the dye works he tripped and rolled down over the bank. He suffered a badly battered nose and was otherwise scratched and bruised. Extra freight No. 100, had one car wrecked at 5.17 p. m. Tuesday even ing on the main track of Petersburg branch, near the eastbound track to Hollidaysburg yard, at Frankstown, near Alttiona. A center sill on a car pulled out and caused the derail ment. The accident was cleared at 7 p. m. Passenger trains and other traffic were delayed. The movement of cars Tuesday over the Middle division lines was reported at Altoona as follows: Nino hundred and seventeen cars inter changed with Tyrone, and 5,671 cars passing Denholm, making a grand total of 6,588 cars. terminal properties of the Pennsyl vania to be in excellent condition. "Evidences of a new impulse in general business conditions were found wherever we went. Business Is not as good as it was six weeks ago, but it is decidedly better than two weeks ago. The holidays are always a dull period in railroading, so no pessimistic conclusions can be drawn from-the dullness that has prevailed. But now there is a marked increase in movement, especially of western grains to the East." NEW LINES TO BE UNDER MARKH AM Allegheny Regional Director to Control Western Pennsy Lines Beginning Monday C. H. Markham. of Philadelphia, re gional director of the Allegheny re gion, in which Is included all rail roads of this section, is soon to as sume more work. In addition to the new duties which he now performs, Mr. Markham will assume control of the Pennsylvania railroad lines west of Pittsburgh. Mr. Markham and H. A. Worcester, Federal director, Ohio-Ipdlana dis trict. railroad administration, have just completed thorough inspections, in about a dozen places, of railroad terminal properties. "The inspection was preparatory to my turning over of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh to Mr. Mark ham on Monday morning," Mr. Wor cester says. "We went as far south as L<ouisville and west to St. Louis, while Logansport was our most north ern point. We found everywhere the Harrisburgers Say Little on Abolition of Overtime While workcrh in many sections are protesting against the abolition of overtime in railroad shops, railroad shopmen in and near Harrisburg have little to say. The Railroad Adminis tration gives notice that the rule will be strictly enforced. Tiie Federal Railroad Administra tion points out that overtime has nl ways been frowned upon by union la bor and has not been regarded as a part of wages, but it put on a wage basis of time and a half to provide n penalty against the employer and keep him from holding men longer than the established working day. During the emergency of the war it was necessary to hold men for con siderable overtime in the railroad shops. No estimate of recent over time is available, but 600,000 men work in them, apd, with overtime re moved, it is believed there will be places open for at least 100,000 re turning soldiers, and possibly double that number. Use of the needed number of men on straight time will also be cheaper than a smaller number of men at time and a half for overtime, which! may ultimately be reflected, in modi fied fares and freight rates.

HARRISBURG TEUEGRAPH f l ' ■' Private Monyer, Cited For Bravery, Dies in i Hospital as War Ends An official telegram from the War Department received last night, told of the death of Private Doe Wert Monyer, a member'of Company A, loath Machine Qun Battalion, 26th Division, In a hospital In Franco. Private Monyer was the son of tho late John K. Monyer, and Is survived by his mother, Mrs. Noreno Fetrow Monyer, 1732 Market street. Private Monyer enlisted In Com pany C, of the Eighth Regiment, N. G. P., when Captain Stlne was In com mand, and was later transferred to the 109 th. He fought In all the earl ier battles participated in by Ameri can troops, also at Chateau Thierry, the second battle of the Marne, and spent his twentieth birthday, No vember 27, fighting in the Argonne Forest region. Private Monyer had been cited for bravery. His death was due to cerebro-spinal meningitis. 'Before enlisting in tho National Guards, Private Monyer was employed at the Elliott-Fisher plant. He was a member of the Market Squarp Presbyterian Church, and is the first person of that congregation to die or j be killed. In letters to his mother, dated No- I vember 22 and 26, Private Monyer ( wrote of being in hospitals and of \ having a "bad foot." but never men- i tioned that he had been wounded. In his letters he praised the work of | the Red Cross, and the splendid j treatment he had been given. He was ■ altogether in four hospitals, it was learned. The exact nature of the ailment which led to his death is not known. RESIDENT IS ASSESSED R35 Santa Crux, Cal. A resident of this city, during the recent United War Work campaign, was notified that he had "been assessed $35, being at the rate of sl4 per quarter section of your land in Utiea." The letter con tinued: "Thiß you will understand is in the United War Work campaign. You may make your check payable to H. D. Landis, treasurer, and mail same to me. Perhaps you had better send a draft." RED CROSSCAIL IGNORED IN CITY [Continued from First Page.] that the reoccurrence of the disease in Harrisburg has resulted in an addi tional call for nurses, and a renewnl of the splendid work of Harrisburg chapter, the people of Harrisburg this morning and yesterday continued to ignore the Red Cross membership campaign. Returns Are Small Returns to-day were as small, in proportion to the population, as the most rural 'section of Pennsylvania. In another column of this paper to day, Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health phylsiclan, pays tribute to the work of the Red Cross during the epidemic —seconding the approval given the chapter some days ago by Acting State Health Commissioner Royer. The work of the Harrisburg chap ter during tile epidemic—and for the last 10 days, since additional cases of the disease have been reported, is declared by doctors to have been re markable. The chapter sent a large number of trained nurses into homes during the epidemic. - " Work of Helper*' It sent 170 untrained young women who followed instructions given them by doctors. They washed babies, c'ressed children, cleaned up homes, handled pneumonia jackets. Doctors would supply lists of five families which required attention. Nurses would find almost every member of these families sick. They would take temperatures and keep the fever charts for the physicians. Baths would be given patients. For weeks these activities were maintained. Dr. Raunick's statement tells of what was done at city hospitals. The Red Cross nearly "went broke" because of the great quantity of sup plies It was compelled to furnish. One reason for the clinical theremometer famine during the epidqmic, when thermometers were not to be had in the stores, was because the Red Cross had bought so many and supplied them where needed. Call Again Begin* The call for nurses and supplies has begun again; and this division of the Red Cross is once more continu ally on the Job. This newspaper has many times mentioned the work of the Red Cross for the soldiers passing through the city and those returning from camps since the armistice was signed. The people of Harrisburg, however —if their memberships in the Red Cross are an earnest of their appre ciation, consider the work of the Red Cross nothing at all. lniluHtrles Get Busy The Pennsylvania Railroad, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, the Pipe Bending plant and many other industries—acting at the re quest of committees of employes, have decided to get into the membership campaign. The railroads believe that It is not possible for the committees of women workers to find all the rail road workmen, so they have agreed to go among these men while they are at their work. "I.et George Do It" From all indications the big cele bration of Nov. 11, following news of the signing of the armistice, was the culmination of Harrisburg's war spirit. The over-the-top sentiment manifested by the city for 18 months theretofore has apparently "petered out." The returns this year are far less than last year. Last Decem ber the Industrial teams got 8,000 members, the women's 8,000 and the men approximately 8,000. The total was about 25,000 for the city, the balance of the dtstrict making up the additional 10,000 members belonging to the chapter. "A D— Shame" A soldier from Middletown bar racks went into Red Cross member ship headquarters at Third and Lo cust streets this morning and laid down $7. "Give me seven memberships for these fellows," he said, exhibiting a list of fellow fighting men. "The boys down at the camp." he said, "have come to the conclusion that it's a damn shame the way folks aren't Joining the Red Cross. We fel lows know what they're doing, and we're for these women—always." Both tho camp at Middletown and Marsh Run have reason to be grate ful to the local chapter because of the great work accomplished when influenza had the camps in its grasp. No Other Fund* The Red Cross chapter hereafter must rely solely on memberships for its income. There will be no moro campaigns for funds, such as were put on In 1917 and 1918. The member ship fee Is sl. Of that sum 50 cents stays with the home chapter. The I balance goes to Washington. Thurston, Famous Magician and His Army of Imps Christmas Attraction at the Orpheum That ingenious, alert and deftly mystifying worker in magic, Thurs ton, with a new program of weird mysteries and a company of 26 people will be the attraction at the Orpheum for three days starting Monday, with matinees Tuesday and Christmas. Magic is a word that makes children of all of us. To sit and watch Thurston flit from wonder to wonder, from apparently one violation of the laws of nature to an other, our boyhood days return and we marvel if he really employs little red devils to help liim as his big posters would suggest. Jam Sought For Marsh Run Christmas Day Dinners Remembering the joy of their own | little tots when the Christmas season! brought Jellies and preserves with it,; Red Cross volunteer workers to-day I began a campaign for these sweets to be sent boyi in the hospital and camp at Marsh Ri\n. The campaign is the result of a. visit recently made by a number of Red Cross officials to the Marsh Run camp. The boys said they longed for a taste of the good, home-made jellies. The officials put on their thinking caps and to-day the drive began, Mrs. Walter Spofford, secretary of the Harrisburg Chapter, lias appealed for the delicacies to be sent to the local Red Cross headquarters in the basement of the Public Library. The jellies will bo sent as the Christmas gifts from Harrisburg housewives to Sq k{iqki. It is requested that the contribu tions be brought in to-morrow and Saturday in order that they may be sent to the camp early Monday.

YOU SAY AFTER SEEING PICTURE AT COLONIAL THEATER i C' fc '* SiW When William Hohcnzoilern, once emperor of Germany but now a despised outiast,- is apprehended and brought to court for trial, he will be asked why ho should not give his life to expiate his crimes. In the eyes of the law, one life is as su< red as another. ■ What, then, about the shooting of Edith Cnveli, the Red Cross nurse? Sha'l not the former Kaiser, who directed the shooting squad tliut snuffed out the fair life of this young woman, pay for his crime? He will be asked to take the stand and tell all he knows about the Cavell case if ever he is apprehended. "The Cavell Case, or, The Woman the Germans Shot," is the tit'e of. a motion picture that began a three-day run at the Colonial to-day. It is based on the memorablo case of the English nurse who gave her life for her country at the hands of a blood-mad ruler called the Kaiser.

With each passing year Thurston grows ::i popularity, and eucli visit he makes shows new development of original ideas and added dexterity. Among the younger theatergoers one frequently hears stories about the mysteries of Herrmann and of the great Kellar. These references .are usually accom panied by an expression of regret that they had never seen either of these two masters. Thurston shows all that either of the two named did, and then a great deal in adttion that is more baflling. He provides many new novelties that are not only mys terious, but uncanny in character. Most of his new mysteries deal with life in the afterworld, such as the manifestations of spirits and the ma terialization of ghosts. Chief among other sensations arc: "The Vampire, "Gravitation Defied," "Every Vo man's Wish." "Birds of the Air, "Mephisto's Daughter' and Ihe Mir acle."
