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."

MONDAY EVENING.
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

Paris, March 10. —That Herbert
Hoover, the American food adminis

general of the Inter-Allied Relief

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

"We, also, must earn a living,"
Mr. Hoover added.

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."

HE'S THE LONESOMEST
AMERICAN IN GERMANY
Lieutenant Scott, on Outpost Duty at Coblenz, Bridgehead,
Leading a Simple Life •
Coblenz, March 10.—In a great
castle on a hill and, with a count
and countess and their four daugh
ters as his nearest neighbors
today the lonesomest American in all
the occupied territory of Germany.
He is Lieutenant John W. Scott, of
Detroit, commanding Company K, |
28th Infantry,' on outpost duty at j
the "stepping off" place of the Cob- •
lenz Bridgehead where it skirts a ,
beautiful valley stretching away to
ward Berlin.
Visitors are few at this further-j
most outpost across the Rhine j
twenty miles from Coblenz. During
the day the Lieutenant makes his
rounds, visiting one sentinel after
another, always alone. At the foot
of the hill crowned by the castle of
Molsberg is the village of Molsberg
of which Lieutenant Scott is mili
tary commander, but he talks to the
townspeople only on questions of
business. And so, day, after day, the
lieutenant meets no one e-fcsoting
his soldiers and the civilians on
routine matters of duty.

POPE IS NAMING
BISHOPS TODAY;
EXTOLSCHARITY
Expected to Create Several
New Cardinals After Peace 4
Has Been Declared
By Associated Press.
Rome, March 10.— Pope Benedict
la to hold a secret consistory today
to appoint new bishops. It Is un
derstood he will deliver an allocu
tion in which, after recapitulating
what the Holy See did during the
war to benefit humanity, he will touch
on present grave problems.
At a consistory arter peace has
been concluded, probably next De
cember the pope is expected to create
several new cardinals, the name of
Monsignor Banzano, apostolic dele
gate at Washington, being mentioned.
Speaking yesterday at the cere
mony attending the reading of the
decrees of approbation of the three
miracles of Louis de Marillac, Pope
Benedict extolled the virtue of char
ity for which she was noted.
"Everyone realized," said the
pontiff, "that after the war there
would be much to rebuild in the ma
terial, and perhaps even more in the
moral order, but nothing can be done
without charity. The appeal to char
ity should take precedence over all
other initiatives."

of the Carlisle Army Hospital are
talking of a delightful program
gtven Thursday evening by a vocal
quartet of Harrisburg and a well
known reader of that city for the
benefit of the wounded men who are

on the soldiers' hands and they are
deeply grateful to those who enter
tain theni. The party from Harris
burg was made up of Miss Grace
Deal, soprano: Miss Estell Butler,
contralto: John Fisher, tenor; Rob
ert C. Smith, bass, and Mrs. Edson
J. Hockenbury, reader. The musical
program was varied by Mrs. Hock

Quality and Service
. Whyflo you pay thirty-five to
fifty dollars for a suit of clothing
when you can get one for fifteen
or twenty dollars? Because you
want quality and service, better
goods and better workmenship.
This same principle applies more
to glasses than to clothing. Few
people know the quality of glasses
and frames; they must rely on the
knowledge, and Integrity of the
