May 26.—A great new edu cational force in the shape of the American regular army will come into being in the United States in the near future if the present plans of government officials, army offi cers and prominent civilian .educa tors are realized. Briefly, it is proposed to make Uncle Sam's standing army a huge university in which the young men of the country will receive not only physical and military training, but will be given opportunities to ac quire academic and vocational learn ing which might be beyond their reach in civil life. The old days of virtual wastage of time which represented almost blank pages in the life diary of the soldier will be a thing of the past. Instead of being turned back into civil life in a more helpless state than when he entered the navy he will be equipped to wage a vigorous fight for his place in the sun of the business or professional world. Tlie possibilities of this plan have been demonstrated in the wonderful work done during the past few months by the Educational Commis sion in the American Expeditionary Uorce in France. Sine - the signing of the armistice something like 450.- 000 American soldiers have been rp preciably benefitted by the army schools, which have been put within the reach of every man and which have provided facilities to study almost every conceivable subject, from farming to philosophy. Few of the army educators in France realized at the outset how great a work they were starting. The avidity with which the enlisted man j and his officer have seized upon the j proffered opportunities has astound-' ed them. With this object lesson before it. the army has been inspired to carry l , on this work at home in the stand ing forces. The project assumes, it is understood, that the standing army of the future will be a com paratively large one. and that there j may be a short period of compulsory J training for the youths of the coun try, although the scheme is not de- ] pendent upon the compulsory future. ■ Wife Blames Failing Health on Husband Bewitching Her Reading.

In the Realm of Nature Timely Articles Furnished by the Harrisburg Natural History Society An important total eclipse of the : sun will occur May 29, visible in ■ South America, the Atlantic ocean j and Africe. While not visible at all I from our latitude, this eclipse, whose greatest duration of 6 minutes 511 sec onds is not far from the greatest possiblo length of a solar eclipse, is of especial importance because it will permit a crucial test to be made of the so-called Einstein theory of relativity, now in the fore front of scientific interest and dis i cussion. This theory asserts that though [ we be moving through the ether of I space it is utterly impossible to dc | tect this by any experiment what | ever; orily the relative motion of material bodies can be so discov ered. The theory has some striking consequences' for instance, a body contracts in the direction of its mo tion in an amount which is de pendent upon the velocity of the body compared with that of light, which travels 186,330 miles per sec ond. A man walking eastward has therefore less hulk than when he walks westward. And a yardstick Is longer when It lies north and i south than when lying east and | west. The difference in both cases is minute ,but Is certainly present. If the theory be true. Another consequence of the theory Is that a ray of light pass ing close to a massive body like the ! sun will be deflected out of its I SIX MISSING FROM SHIP FIRE IN CHESAPEAKE Three Passengers and Three Firemen Cannot Be Found [ Baltimore.

George Fishel, 19 years old, of York, was drowned while bathing in Emig's Mill dam in the Big Concwago creek, yesterday afternoon when seized by cramps. The body was recovered more than an hour later. course by an amount which, though small, is easily measurable by as tronomical instruments. A ray Just grazing the sun's edge should be displaced aiiout two seconds of arc, the effect being less in proportion as the distance of the ray from the sunjs center becomes greater. The sun's presence should make the stars about it spread out, appar ently, and later, when the sun moves on, fome back to their accustomed places. It is merely necessary to photo graph the stars surrounding the sun during total eclipse and by care ful measurement determine whether they have been displaced according to the theory or not. At many eclipses there are no stars close to the sun of sufficient brightness for ihe purpose, and the interval of •ntality is generally too short to record photographically the faint stars which afe there. At the present eclipse conditions are unusually favorable, as the sun will be In a rich field of rather bright stars, in the conspicuous Hyades cluster. In the constellation Taurus (the Bull) ,and at some stations a five-minute exposure should be pos sible, as compared with two min utes or less at many eclipses. if good places are secured, then a few weeks' time hllowed for their mea surement and reductton should tell the story to waiting scientists all over the world.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE CONTINUES [Continued from First Page.] up visits will be continued by the teams of solicitors until Wednesday noon, at which time a final report will be turned in at headquarters. "Working under a severe handicap of rainy weather and the fact that this drive has been preceded by so many others, the workers who have given so unselfishly of their time and energies have for the first time placed the Salvation Army in Harrisburg on a solid financial footing. "Good-natured rivalry In soliciting and general spontaneity in giving marked the drive. Industrial and in dividuals. secret organizations and other organizations all added their contributions to the big nucleus of over $5,000 raised from the sale of doughnuts on the streets. Harris burg was asked to give what it could and no quota was set. The money contributed will be spent in this county under the guidance and with the approval of a representative com mittee of prominent citizens to be selected later. All soliciting for the Salvation Army ceases automatically us the new plan goes Into effect. "The executive committee wishes to express its thanks to every person and every organization that has helped to make the campaign a suc cess. To the returned officers and soldiers and the personnel of the local army recruiting agency is due much of the credit for the driving power; to the young ladies who lured the unwary bills from the passing throngs and that good-naturedly, we are especially grateful. The commit tee likewise thanks the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, the bakers and con tributors of the thousands of dough nuts that were put on sale, the pro fessional and amateur entertainers who turned their time into money with music and parade, and the great body of unmentioned citizens, dough nut fed, which backed the workers with money." taper End Does Well | Good returns are expected from the j out-of-town communities, judging by I results yesterday at Elizabethville, I where a splendid audience gathered j in the United Brethren Church, with the chairman, John Sminkey.

The conse quence was,the most historic meeting ever held in the church, all collection being turned over to the Salvation Army fund. Stirring addresses were made by Captain Stackpole and Miss I Pearl Gaupp, the latter having spent 15 months in the Red Cross service I abroad. Galbraith brothers, of I Brocksville, rendered two fine vocal selections. E. K. Romberg, chair man of the local committee, predict ; cd after this meeting that the whole ' district would easily go over the top. | Posters have been put up to-day [ in county towns and the very suo j cessful launching at Elizabethville is , expected to stir lively action in other towns, so that the entire quota will be much increased. Entertainment Off The athletic entertainment sched uled for Saturday night at Chestnut Street was postponed as the incom ing soldiers called for all attention, and no attempt was made to put the show on, the volunteer participants of which were on hand, however, amicably agreed -to the situation.
