8 THOUSAND MEN A DAY FED BY CANTEEN WOMEN **Bon Amy," Says Stalwart Doughboy, Practicing His Atrocious "French" ____ i Last week was the banner week ftbr activities of the canteen service <of the Red Cross in Harrisburg. The report shows that food and refresh ments was served to 6,602 soldiers and sailors. As this averaged nearly a thousand a day the good women who have given up their time to this work were on duty night and day. This includes the number of men who applied at the booth at the Penn syivania station, also nearly a hun dred wounded men from the Carlisle hospital, who were entertained at the theaters or "movies." Eleven carloads of colored soldiers were furnished with refreshments last night. They were all overseas boys on their way from Camp Upton to various points in the west, where they will be mustered out. Owing to the lateness of the train the canteen workers were compelled to wait for three hours. It was quite a late hour when they arrived, but the workers were amply repaid for their efforts, as the soldiers proved, to be as inter esting as any that have passed through Harrisburg for several months. These stolid "doughboys" had all seen service in the Argonne forest, and there were many missing com panions upon the return trip. Some of them were asleep when the train arrived, but when the voice of the commanding officer rang out: "Boys here are the women of the Red Cross," two heads appeared at evory window. By some mistake they had "missed" their'supper; not an un common "mistake" in the present system of transportation of soldiers these days, and the way these boys went after the "eats" was an en couraging sight to the women who were present. The appearance of fruit, chocolate and tobacco even in terfered temporarily with several crap games. One of the soldiers had a little dog that had followed him through the battle of the Argonne, and while the mongrel was not much to look at, his master shared his sleeping berth with him. When ask ed how he managed to get the dog past the commanding officer, the sol dier replied: "I just naturally brought him with me." It was interesting to note how some of the soldiers had picked up a smattering of French, and while it must have sounded startling to the poilus, yet they seemed to delight to' get it out of their sysem no matter i how amateurish were their efforts at the language. Nearly every one of Ihem could get away with "oui, oui," but when one of them said "Thank you very much, little petit lady," and another remarked: "bon amy," it was too much for the canteen workers. As to the charges of unwarranted killing of the American boys at the battle of the Argonne, the officers in charge were relustant to talk, but from their conversation it could be easily judged that they believed that if the United States had been better prepared at that particular battle many more of their companions woul dhave been on the train last night. While some of the colored hoys slept two in a berth and with out lights in the car, there was no complaint; undoubtedly for the rea son. as one remarked: "Believe me 'enter nous* it is a lliousand times better than two feet of mud at Brest."

GETS WAR CROSS IN FAIR FIGHT BUT WON'T WEAR IT |James Bloomenthal Returns Home With Iron Decoration Taken From German He Bested in Battle * One Harrisburg soldier who won a war cross by fair and honorable means, is not wearing it on the breast of his tunic, and probably never will. But he is keeping it carefully, and also the certificate which states the merits on which it was secured. The soldier is James Bloomenthal, son of Irving Bloomenthal. 2347 Lo gan street, who served overseas in Battery D, Second Battalion, Seven teenth Field Artillery, for more than a year. And the reason he is not wearing the cross these days is be cause it is an Iron Cross awarded by the Imperial German government to a German sergeant-major, and taken from the German by Bloomen thal in a fair fight at Chatleu Thierry. "I also took the certificate with the commander's name, written in German, because the Iron Crosses can be bought, but the certificates can't," said the sharp Yankee boy, who after two years of service in the regular army, is barely nineteen years old. In spite of his youth, the young soldier has seen mtnfli active service both in. America and abroad. He enlisted in the Field Artillery at New HOOVER TO QUIT RELIEF WORK Majority of Co-Workers Will Also Return to Pri vate Life Paris, March 10. —That Herbert Hoover, the American food adminis trator and lately appointed director general of the Inter-Allied Relief organization, is to cease his relief work in the summer was indicated' in a statement issued by Mr. Hoover concerning the wheat situation. He intimated that a majority of his co workers also would return to private life. Speaking of various problems con nected with the wheat situation, Mr. Hoover said that they would need to bo solved by some one else, "be cause neither myself, nor most of the men In the food administra tion will be able to continue in the service of the Government after next July." "We, also, must earn a living," Mr. Hoover added. Standing of the Crews IIVRRISBIRG SIDE Philadelphia Division The 104 crew first to go after 1.15 o'clock: 105. 114, 107, 131, 116, 108, 128.

BELL SENDS 14,000 INTO WAR SERVICE President Vail Advocates Gov ernment Control of Wire Monopoly in His Report The fundamental soundness of the Bell system, the competent way it has met the requirements of the war, its fair and open way of deal ing with the problems of govern mental control, and its clear under standing of the responsibilities of the future, are set forth by Theo dore N. Vail in the report of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, The year 1918 has been from ev ery standpoint the most strenuous and difficult year in the whole his tory of the telephone, says Mr. Vail. It has been impossible to maintain standards and difficult to meet the Increasing demands for service, greatly augmented at all centers where war industries and activities concentrated. About 14,000 employes of the telephone system entered mil itary service. Over twenty per cent, of the expert staff were taken over by the government for special or ac tive war service. Of particular interest is a letter to Mr. Vail from the Secretary of War, appreciative of the "splendid spirit of co-operation" of the Bell engineers, which was indispensable in the development of the airplane wireless telephone set and other im portant apparatus used in the war. Pacts About the Bell System At the end of the year there were 10,992,325 telephones nonnested with the Bell system, which owned 7,200,000 and connected with about 3,800:000 owned by connecting com panies and rural associations. The wire mileage owned by the Bell companies was 23,281,150 miles, 94 per cent, copper and 60 per cent, underground. The next amount add ed to plant and real estate was $77,- 92 2,631. The total provision for depreciation of plant during the year was $54,000,000. The capital obligations of the Bell system outstanding in the hands of the public at the close of the year were $991,074,264, of which the out standing obligations of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company represent $676,283,362 and those of the associated companies. $314,790,- 902. The telephone plants stand on the books of the companies at sl,- 142,815,341. and appraisals by pub lic authorities indicate a greater ac tual value. The surplus and reserve aggregate $340,000,000, an increase of over $36,000,000. In six years the expenditures from employes' benefit funds have amounted to $10,534,594. The next earnings of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany for the year were $54,293,016. The interest charges were $10,391,- 694, and the dividends at the regu lar rate of eight per cent, per an num were $35,229,698. Of the re sulting balance $5,000,000 were ap propriated for contingencies and $3,- 671,622 added to surplus. The number of stockholders in creased over 25,000 during 1918, and now exceeds 112,000, the majority being women. The average holding is thirty-nine shares. Government Control The terms of the contract with the government are presented for the information of the stockholders. The provisions include emergency compensation, efficient operation, full provision for maintenance, depreciation and obsolescence, the investment of unexpended balances in the plant, continuance of em ployes' pensions, disability and death benefits, and of contracts with the associated companies. These provisions are for the pro tection of the property, the service and the art. The security holders are assured of the payment of in terest and dividends on existing se curities and securities hereafter au thorized, and compensation by the Postmaster General for such exten sions as he may require to meet abnormal conditions. Combination anil Regulation Mr. Vail says that it would be ex tremely unfortunate if, with a very pronounced public sentiment in fa vor of it, a wire system with nation wide, universal, comprehensive service and complete utilization of all the facllites cannot be evolved from the existing conditions. It seems paradoxical that the in terpretation and application of ex isting laws against restraint of trade should be an obstacle in the way. There is little doubt, he says, re maining in the minds of the public, but that regulated monopoly is bet ter than unregulated government ownership, and there is no longer any extensive conviction that there can be effective competition in the electric transmission of Intelligence. Changes in the existng laws con cerning control and regulation, competition and combination are shown to be necessary, and Mr. Vail cloves with a few basic principles upon which such changes should be ouilt. The conclusion is that sim ilar utilities, in territories economi cally determined, should be com bined; should have an operating or ganization shown to be efficient and economical; and with their admn stration there should be somehow oomblned by legslaton, the power freed as far as possible from po litical and class Influence, and sub ject to reasonable review, "to equili brate captal charges, operating costs and revenue." • HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH 1,000 Persons Killed or Wounded in Berlin Fighting Last Week liondon, March 10.—One thoua aatl persons were killed or wound ed in th e fighting In llerlln last week, according; to an cntlmate of the casualties made by the Wolff Bureau, the lending; news agency of Germany.
