Never again will the United States be guil ty of the folly of trusting its foreign commerce to the ships of other na tions or of quitting the shipbuild ing industry, declared Secretary of the Navy Daniels in an address de livered to-day at the Hog Island ship yards, on the occasion of the sue- j launching of live steel freighters—the greatest single day's launching in the history of any yard I in the world. The live vessels added 1 39,000 tons to the American merch ant marine. "We could not. if we would, as a I nation." said Secretary Daniels, "longer live between the two oceans dependent on foreign bottoms for j our over-seas commerce. We will | not quit the shipbuilding industry or Warning Issued Against Misuse of the Red Cross Emblem to Fleece Public .Misuse of the Red Cross emblem is causing considerable trouble throughout the country. Steps have been taken to stop the use of the emblem in commercial enterprises and the local Red Cross chapter is already showing activity to stamp out this evil. The following let ter from John Scott. Jr., division manager, was issued from local headquarters to-day: "National headquarters has advis ed us that a great number of schemes tire now or.* foot to use the . Red Cross name or emblem in con nection with commercial enterprises. : These enterprises are of varied forms, such as the selling of trinkets and war pictures by discharged and j wounded soldiers, with the settement that a portion of the profits of the sale will be donated to the Red Cross. "In- other cases, solicitors of ques tionable repute have offered for sale j certificates to the families of men , in the service representing that by j such purchases the family "> n ob tain speedy discharges of their sol- i diers and advising that the proceeds 1 of the sale of the certificates would . go to our organization. j "Other solicitors of foreign birth j have been collecting funds among the foreign population* of this 1 country by exhibiting letters of ere- ( dential purporting to come from Red Cross officials and stating that the funds collected were to be distribut ed by the American Red Cross, llavc No Rights "All of the above enterprises are engaged in wholly without the con sent of national headquarters and violate the provisions of our charter which prohibit the use of the Red Cross name or emblem for commer cial purposes. "We therefore deem it advisable to i call to your attention that in peace as well as during the war the Red Cross name or emblem must ip np.. case be used for commercial pur poses except where such use was made prior to the year 1905, as ex plained in pamphlet A-501 with which you have long been familiar.

Each instar.*ce is to be promptly reported to the passenger trainmas ter's office by letter. Many com plaints have come to the War De partment lately about pseudo sol diers victimizing the traveling pub lic. However, this practice has not been permitted to much extent on Pennsy trains and there have been* few instances where soldiers en deavored to dispose of their wares or to seek alms from fellow pas sengers.

A., j June 6 and 7, Promises to Be Most Interesting I , Second Annual Rose Show. , I which will be held at the Y. M. j ( . A. Building, .June 6 and 7, one week earlier than was previously an ! nounced, promises ot be a great suc . cess. The roses will be at their very best at the time set for the show, and, from all indications, there will be a great abundance of them. The large number of rose enthusiasts who have already signified their intention to send roses for competition, fully assures the success of the show, and will be a great help toward placing Harrisburg on the map as a "rose show city." 1 here will be fourteen classes, vary ing from one rose in a vase to a bas ketful, and three awards will be given for each class—first, second and third. In addition to these awards, two mem berships in the American Rose Society, the gifts of J. Horace MeFarland and the Berryhlll Nurseries, will be given— one for the best basket of roses and the other for the best individual bloom. One Illoom in a Vase Of especial interest to growers of roses will be the four classes which per mit of but one bloom of a color to be displayed in a vase, and already there are many promised entries in these classes. The exhibit of climbing roses —white, pink, red and yellow- prom ises to be an especially large one, and also particularly interesting becaivie of the many new roses that it will con tain. The florists of the city have been invited to send exhibits of their choic est flowers and very likely their dis , plays will be a very attractive part of the show, as they were last year. This I being an amateur rose show, they will I not be allowed to compete. TWO SHIPS BRING MORE UNITS OF 79TH TO PORT Heroes of Montfaucon and Damvillers* Offensives Arrive Home Philadelphia, May 30.—A Catholic chaplain who regularly went over the top with Pennsylvania boys of the 316 th Infantry and a Presbyter ian minister who commanded a com pany of lighters from this city were j among the heroes of the 316 th In fantry to - land at Snyder avenue pier I yesterday afternoon from the trans . port Texan. On board were all units of the '3l6th except Companies L and M. Colonel Garrison McCaskey, a Regu lar Army officer, was in command. "If ever I have to go to war again, I hope to be with the officers and men of the 316 th," Colonel McCaskey said of his veterans. "I have been in the Regular Army for twenty years, and I know fighters when I see them. These men's record shows that thew are real fighters." The fighting chaplain shared every experience as a fighter. At Hill 378, near Montaigne, when about half the officers had been killed and wound led, the chaplain stepped in and be came adjutant of the first battal ion. "The funny thing about this regi ment," Father McNary said, "is that it is composed of Pennsylvania Dutch and had an Irish chaplain. It is a brave outfit. There's not a shirker in the whole regiment; they've all got guts. And there is a wonderful spirit of comradeship be tween the officers and men. My ex perience has been that the men i would go through hell for their offi- J cers." ! Chaplain McNary cited the instance j of Corporal John Wilkins to show j the stuff the regiment is made of. I "Winkins," he said, "was one of j those thin, puny-looking fellows you read about in the magazine stories | when he came into the Army. But j he was one of the bravest lads in the outfit. 1 remember when he was sent with a message and he ran for 500 meters to deliver it after he had been wounded by shrapnel. For this he was given the distinguished service cross. "Runners were the bravest men in the Army. I have seen a whole string of them starting out with the same message, going terl paces apart. , Some of them fell, but the others never lose their nerve, and I am ready to take my hat off to them any time. "Then there was an Italian by the name of Thomas Chido. He wasn't a 'parade rest' soldier and he couldn't speak much English. About the only thing he could say in Eng lish was 'Shoota do Boehc,' and he was shooting them every time he got a chance. Poor fellow, I buried him at Montfaucon. "There was another Italian in the regiment by the name of Paul Ama rosa. I believe he was from Bridge port. Conn. He always went into the trenches singing and was the life of the Italians of the regiment, and when he was wounded in a trench raid he didn't even ask for first aid or to be sent to a hospital. All he said was, 'I didn't have a chance to get 'em.' " Regiment lost 1,837 Men The 316 th suffered heavier cas ualties than any other National Army unit that went across, and only one other unit in the entire Army had heavier casualties. That was the Second Division. The 316 th lost 1,937 officers and men in killed and wounded. Hardest fighting done by the regi ment was at Mount Falcon, where the Crown Prince was stationed to watch Ids men in their campaign for Verdun. The place was heavily fortified in the strongest manner known to the Ger mans. But the Pennsylvania fighters were determined; they fought and fought, and finally Mount Falcon fell. The 313 th Infantry, supported by the 316 th. took It. More hard fighting came at Mont faucon. "Take it from me. It was pretty hot there," a big, husky soldier from lowa ' said. "The 'K-cans' was fallin' thick and fast." "K-cans" Is a nickname given to big German shells by the American dough boys.- It was at Montfaucon that Chap lain McNary went over the top with his men and then buried those who were killed without wnltlng for the shells to stop falling. During the Montfaucon fighting the first battalion of the 316 th made the furthest advance of any unit. Eleven Got tlie T). 8. C. Eleven members of the unit were awarded the D. S. C. for bravery in action, and five others got the French crolx de guerre. Among the D. S. C. men war Pri vate Guy M. Habbecker. of Landisvllle. Pa. At Hill 378 Habbecker , distin While the show is primarily Intended | for the display of roses, any person i having other flowers which they wish to exhibit will be given space on the display tables, but no awards will be given for flowers other than roses. Mr. McEiulaiul to Speak On Friday evening, June 6, at 8 ; o'clock J. Horace MeFarland will de- I , liver a lecture in Fahnestock Hal! on "Roses in America." The lecture will be illustrated by many beautiful colored luntern slides, showing new and old rose favorites and some of the most famous rose gardens in America. Mr. MeFarland can speak authoritatively ■ on his subject, for his own rose garden ■ at Brooze Hill contains many new and rare members of the rose .'amily, and his position as editor of "The American Rose Annual," keeps him in touch with , rose matters the world over. Adrr.is -1 sion to the lecture is free to those holding Rose Show tickets, which may , Vie obtained for 25 cents at the V. M. j C.

He had to go through an open space swept by ma chine gun fire. Private Clarence Frey. 811 Locust street, Reading, Pa., won his cross for carrying dispatches. While crossing an open field he was wounded in the face by a piece of shrapnel. He fell, but jumped up again and delivered the message, after which he collapsed and was carried to a hospital. Private Thomas H. Morris, of 5005 Chestnut avenue, Philadelphia, was also a messenger and won his D. S. C. for carrying a message across an open field. On September 27, Grovei C. Shakart, of Hershey, Pa., left his station of his own accord to search a woods near Montfaucon, and when he returned a short time later he had three Ger man prisoners with him. The next day he visited the same woods again, and that time he got four prisoners after a hand-to-hand struggle with one of them. The third day he went out alone and cleaned out a German machine gun nest. He was awarded the distinguished service cross. Distinguished service in taking charge of a platoon of men at Mont faucon and leading them to victory after his captain had been wounded won a D. S. for Sergeant Samuel E.

BIG CROWD HEARS OVERSEAS NURSE Relates Experiences in France While in Charge of Shell- Shoeked Patients Miss Edith Mark Ambrose held lit J deep interest for more than an hourl a large uudienee in Trinity purishl house yesterday afternoon. Miss Am-i brose served In France for twenty' months as a specialist In shellslioek : cases. She is reported as having had j wonderful success. Certainly her ex-j periences in the war were wonderful. She held her audience well over an I hour in the deepest interest while | speaking of the work done in France by the Red Cross nurses. In her talk she spoke of the. longing of the boys for their moth-! ers, and said that many a wounded ; lad's last request of the nurse was! "just a kiss to remind me of moth-j er." Miss Ambrose was known as "Mother Ambrose" in the hospital,, j and one can well understand why. | Simple and unaffected she is a wom-i !an in the best sense of the word, and if mothering helped the hoys to recovery, then she must have been the. means of saving many a life. She paid high tribute to the brav ery and courage of the boys when wounded and told of many cases I where the last thoughts of dying | boys were for others. "This," she , Faid "is true of the colored lads as | well as the white boys. There was a | colored lad so badly burned by gas that every bit of skin was burned from his face, his neck and his back. I He must have been in terrible agony but he never murmured. When suf fielently heuled so that he could speak, he only smiled and said: "It am all in tic game." Miss Ambrose outlined the futuro. work of the Red Cross in the United States, of the attempt to be made, to prevent disease instead of curing it. To negligence on the part of mothers she placed most of the* blame for disease. Rev.
