SCARLETT WRITES OF TRIP War Worker Speaks Interest ingly of Comrades on Board Ship and Their Futur^ ; . - - j ' ik 1 hUNMa MNBI ' MRS. AGNES SCARLETT From the Italian slilp Guiseppi Verdi traversing the Atlantic ocean comes a letter of unusual Interest to many Harrisburgers who ar e friends of the writer, Mrs. Agnes R. Scar lett, a former secretary of the State Industrial Board, who sailed some tim e ago with a Red Cross unit. The girls in her unit are just as willing and ready to aid now that the war lias ceased as they were when they applied to go over. Un like many people safe at home who think their duty to the Red Cross and our boys has ended with the lighting. Of the pleasant voyage she says: "Everything has been ,moA delight ful, just as if made to order, Weath er, sea, food and service. Of course we haye a common cause and this makes everybody friends. Really I j am much surprised and disappoint ed in the Grand Atlantic. 1 never thought it could be so smooth. This Is our ninth day out and the ocean has been calm as a lake most of the time. Sunday was the only day that was bad at all, then it blew a great gale and It was hard woPk keeping your feet on the Hobr." She tells of an interesting inci dent on Thanksgiving Day: "This is a strictly Italian boat all of the crew speak Italian. Thanksgiving On Ocean "Thanksgiving we made glad all day. The day of itself was ideal and everyone was up to see the sunrise. At 11 o'clock we had praise service and at four song service on the deck. We had a delicious dinner, turkey, cranberry sauce and genuine Ice cream. Th e cuptain came into the dining room waving a beautifOl American ilag and this started an uproar. He speaks very little Eng lish but his face is wonderfully ex pressive. He is a life member of the Italian Red Cross and after our song service a collection was taken up and presented to him for the Red Cross. He was so fussed he forgot all the English he did know and said, 'Oh! We Italians love the United Amerlcans.'- "In the afternoon he prepared a not e of thanks and had one of the other men read It for him, truly it was puthetic, he must have sweat i blood while he composed It, but his thoughts were beautiful." Of the passengers she says: "Thare are JSO girls in this Red Cross unit, I cahnot guess how many other tirst and second class passengers, but I do know there are about 1,900 steerage—once in a while they get real boisterous." November 29, the ship was to stop at Gibralter for a few days and a few days later to go to Targier, Africa, before landing in Genoa, Italy.

Salvation Army Dinger Fund Only Half Raised Despite the fact that the total of j contributions for the Salvation Army i Christmas dinner has climbed slowly to a total of only 8500, Captain Myers I Neilsen, officer in charge of the local j branch is confident that the other half of the required SI,OOO will be con tributed before to-morrow night.

Ten boys In a Bible elass at tliS Green Street Church of God yesterday contributed $6.50 to the fund. This amount was raised by the boys who carried baskets at market Saturday.

Milk Prices in Stores Reduced Cent a Quart By permission of the Dauphin County Food Administration, milk .dealers, beginning to-day, are allow >d to sell milk to grocers and other I retail dealers for twelve cents a \ quart, a reduction of one cent. This will ennble the grocers to sell to re tall tc#de for fourteen cents, j The Food Administration, consid ering that the grocers handle milk I for accommodation only, urged the 'dairymen to sell to them at the snme rate as Its householders, at thirteen . coats n 'quart and seven cents a I pint. Grocers, however, considered ;the deal unfair, and" some dealers cx i pressed their dtsire to take care of their wholesale trade by making at least a slight price concession. Un der the old ruling, grocers had to sell their milk for fifteen cents a quart, or else at a sacrifice, inorder to com pete with the dairymen, who sold milk off their wagons at the whole -1 sale price of thirteen cents charged the grocers. All federtH control of milk has been lifted, according to an an [nounccment'of the Food Admlnistra : tion at Washington 10-day. Local 'dealers, however, are working in agreement with, the local food ad ministration rather than under its orders, so that the price arrange ments likely will continue In effect for home time. Donald McCormick, Food Admin istrator for Dauphin county, has said that he anticipates no immediate change in milk prices unless the price of dairy grain feed advances.

The list* of Brumbaugh appointments since the Senate of 1917 concluded Its work Will be long and interest ing, and already there is much spec ulation about the Capitol as to how many of the ntcn numed to. olllcc will be found here after the next session udjourns. The list will in clude not only the officials whose re appointment after the Senate had re jected them led to the mandamus proceeding which went to the su preme court, but all members of commissions and boards and _no turle* public as well as magistrfites of certain kinds. It lias Involved considerable searching of records. | When finished it will be printed. When it reaches the Senate It will be laid over until after Governor elect William S. Sproul Is Inaugu rated. , In accordance with the precedent established by Governor Martin C. Brumbaugh ut the start of the slon of 1915, who withdrew all ap pointments made by his predecessor, and not confirmed by the Senate, it is probable that the incoming Gov ernor will withdraw all Brumbaugh appointments, and such as are ap proved will be luter sent to the up per brunch of the Legislature for ap proval. As the new Governor hus been long a Senator It Is not ex pected that there will be much dif ference over appointments, and as soon as the Brumbaugh list ar rives it will be laid upon the table. That some of the appointees to bourds und various state places will not be returned after being once withdrawn Is a foregone conclusion. Northcliffe Urges Britain and U. S. to Back WArld League Farts, Dec. 23.—Viscount North clifTo, the British journalist-dynamo, regarded as the "maker" of the Lloyd George coalition government, called In the hundred-odd American corres pondents now In Paris for a reception at the Rltz and had a frank heart-to 'jitart talk with them.

In a candid, forceful way the Brit ish publisher drove home his convic tion on two chief points: That a league of nations Is Indis pensable to future peace. That the firmest keystone for the foundation of such a league would be the closest association and co-opera tion of Great Britain and America. 854 German Planes Fell to Yank Fliers; Our Losses Only^27l Washington.*' Dec. 23—American airmen in France brought down a total of 854 German airplanes and eighty-two German balloons, against an American loss of 271 planes and forty-five balloons, according tp re port cabled by Major General Har bord, on December 1,5. and made pub lic to-day by the War Department.

General Pershing, Unannounced, Visits Armies in Rhineland American Army of Occupation, Dec. 23.—General John J. Pershing made his first visit to the Rhineland.

Hershey, of the club, says, although a number of members have been tenta tively selected. •Congressman Orlest's bill was Intro duced on December 2 and was report ed out favorably on Saturday by the committee, on rlvefs and harbors. It is expected that the bill will pass phe House easily and be sent to the Sen- within the next several days.
