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.

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

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

"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

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

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.

j Thurston, ups, brings a new pro
file Mugiclun gram of sensational
features to the Or-
I pheum as the Christmas attraction,
beginning Monday, with matinees
Tuesday and Wednesday. 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."

clever comedians and keep their audi
