GUESTS AT "Y" PICNIC
HAVE SPLENDID DAY
[Continued from thirst Page.] |
and one of them gave expression to i
the thought of all in his remark to j
General Secretary Robert B. Reeves ;
that they had enjoyed the outing so
thoroughly because they were per- j
mitted to do just as they pleased and |
were not expected to participate in i
any program or pose in anything
contrary to their real desires. These I
boys in khaki had so far .recovered 1
from their wounds and maltreat- l
ment by the Hun as to be able to
participate with vigor in the midway
sports, throwing rings over the
necks of bottles of soft drinks, i
knocking the baby dolls and rolling ,
Japanese bails. Then came the eats
a little in advance of the main crowd
and the return to Carlisle. Not the
least interesting page in their ntili- '
tary experience will be the narrative j
of the hours at ex-Mayor Bowman's j
summer resort.
Beck as tillage Constable
There were so many unique and j
clever stunts that only a few may j
be mentioned. At the entrance to j
the grounds were two pseudo officers j
of the law of the rural variety. One ;
of these attired in a discarded uni- j
form of a policeman was Joseph H. t
Wallazz, who manipulated a re
markable semaphore which was j
capped with a small parasol and j
decorated with "stop" and "go" de
vices. His side partner was Harry j
Beck, the property man of the Ma- j
jestic Theater, who convulsed every- j
body with his antics as a village
constable, intent on stopping all
traffic violators and holding up for
a consideration every offender
against the speed regulations. He
was decked out in all the foliage of
his kind, including animated chin
whiskers, high top boots, a formid
able policeman's club and the usual
badge of authority. As each auto
mobile with its cargo approached
the semaphore contingent, Wallazz ]
with many genuflections stopped the
car and the fake constable did the j
rest. j
Passengers Contribute
All passengers were accused of j
some, violation of the law and their j
only means of escape was a contri- I
bution of some sort to the busy j
traffic officers. Beck is qualified to |
take a prominent part in any come- j
dy requiring bucolic trimmings and i
there was always a large crowd at I
the traffic center ready to applaud
the holdup of the incoming picnick- j
ers.
When the high constable obsessed j
with his great responsibility as a
minion of the law could not extract ;
the coin of the realm, he engaged ;

Happy "Y" Picnic Throng at Home of Former Mayor Bowman Near Dauphin Yesterday
jin many doubtful conferences with |
i the occupants of the car, frequently

! on furniture, food and other neces- j
| saries of life. A considerable pile j
! of cash, cigars, chewing gum, tooth- i

| ornamented the semaphore base at 1
! the feet of the busy Wallazz, who !
i frequently declared in a melodra- j
| niatic manner, as the automobiles j
' were forced to stop: "They shall not I
j pass!"
I Colonel Kemper Pays Fine
Colonel James Kemper refused to
i pay the tine, stating that he was on
government business. His explana
tion did not satisfy Constable Beck
| who declared that Re knew noth
| ing about the government, but as a 1
I representative of the law on Bow
! man's kopje he proposed to enforce
the regulations. Colonel Kemper '
! finally donated a cigar and was re- ,
i leased. Now and then a careless
driver would wink at the crowd and
| skim the base of the semaphore, j
| almost overturning (he industrious
; associate of the constable.
City Commissioner Burtnett was j
' noticed in close conference with the I
! traffic outfit and is said to have j
j reached some understanding re- I
' garding his campaign. At any rate |
|he was permitted to pass. Few es- !
[ caped and it was a hilarious over- |
ture to the program of the after- ]
j noon and everyone of the three j
J hundred present voted the sema- ;
j phore and traffic stunt one of the j
| best inspirations of the day.
Six Tents Along Road
j Six iarge tents were pitched
I along the road leading to the mid- j
way and a capacious mess tent was ,
located on the edge of the Clark's j
Valley road under the shade of the ■
tine old trees which hedged "the
grounds. This dining tent w;j|i in {
charge of Rutherford and Daven- •
port, the. caterers of the occasion,
who worked out a scheme of serv
ice which was the subject of admir- I
ing comment from all who observed I
i the prompt and skillful way in j
| which 300 hungry men were fed. J
i No confusion, no delay, no failure !
|of service in any respect. Within j
[ fifteen minutes after the bugle j
i sounded every one present was seat- j
I ed on chairs or on the grassy slope 1
j or standing about with a well-tilled
i plate in his hand and a cup of the

1 There .was prompt response on !
j every side. Volleyball, baseball,

I were under way on every hand and j
1 men who have not indulged in ath- '
j letics since boyhood are likely re- •
' ducing the visible supply of' lini- '

from the unusual experiences at I
l this remarkable picnic.
The volleyball tournament was |
| th Hrst big event ,in which the I
. noon-hour class at the Y. M. C. A. !
I gymnasium were pitted against the j
j policemen who have also become
volleyball experts through "Doc"
Miller's training. The policemen '
put up a lively game and defeated i
. the noon-hour class. They also de- !
feated the 5.15 businessmen's class
I and won the championship of the j
"Y." The 5.15 businessmen's class 1
j had some consolation in defeating
J the young men's class and through- i
out the volleyball tournament there ,

I FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF
GREAT GERMAN RETREAT
This is the first anniversary of the beginning of the ;
German retreat on the Marne, the most important purely j
military anniversary of the great war. At 4.35 o'clock in
I the morning, the tide of battle in the west turned definitely j
against the Germans, Foch launching his offensive on a
thirty-mile front from near Soissons to a point east of Cha- |
teau Thierry. Harrisburg troops, members of the Twenty- :
eighth Division, were in the thick of the fighting.
American troops were heavily engaged from the start |
around Chateau Thierry; but this being the most difficult
sector, did not advance the first day as rapidly as the French
to the north. However, two days later, the Americans, in
cluding the Twenty-eighth Division, broke through north
wesf of Chateau Thierry and the following night the Ger
mans evacuated the town.
The German retreat developed rapidly after the break
I ' as far cast as Rheims, and by August 4 the entire Marne
I pocket was emptied and German initiative was gone for
ever. The war of movement was under way again but this
, ' time in the right direction. The dark days of Flanders and
Picardy were ended. The dictated armistice and the Treaty
; of Versailles were already a moral certainty.

Exciting Encounter Develops
Lieutenant Eddie Roth and his
| brother. Frank Roth, comprised a
! team in mounted boxing against
j Sol Barr and C. T. Williams. This
| was a most exciting encounter and
developed all kinds of skill. The
i sound-off boxing invited intd the |
arena Charles Aronson, B. F.
Barker. Frank Roth and Sol Barr.
A two-round boxing contest was en
joyed with Traffic Policeman Wal
lazz and John B. Corl in the ring.
It was a lively match while it last
ed, but the semaphore guardian was
] counted out in the first round, j
I Oorl's upper cuts and solarplexus |
!.blows proving too much for his op- j
' ponent.
Preacher Pitches Gnme
j Rev. Dr. Bagnell pitched a nifty j
; game of baseball, while E. S. Her- j
I man. president of the Planning Com-j
| mission, E. Z Wallower and other |
well known men proved their skill I
!at quoits.
| V. Grant Forrer, assistant Super- j
i intendent of Parks was everywhere i
j present giving first aid to the in- i
i jured. assisting in the serving of
i food, preparing the athletic field, and
j doing all the other things that usu
j ally fall to the lot of a willing help
! er. About the time the sun was set- j
I ting and the volley ball players were
I emerging from the showers that
! had been thoughtfully provided in
1 the ga-rnge nearby, the happy pic
i nickers gathered on the lawn and ;
| listened to the concluding speeches'
|of the day. These were made by '
! General Secretary Reeves, Dr. Bag
! Nell and Arthur Bacon, president of ;
1 the Central Y. M. C. A. There was ■
1 also some singing of popular com- !
munity songs and a delightful in-
I terchange of good feeling as the ;

i the homeward trip.

O'Neill the general chairman, won a j
laurel wreath for his part in the j
day's program, but modestly he in
sisted that the fellows who worked I
with him were deserving of all j
credit. Then, too,'Henderson Gilbert
the original inventor of stunts and I
t "Doc" Miller, the athletic director, I
who never grows weary and a doz- J
len others through preparedness |
! made possible a unique outing which
j will make more than ever anxious

deprived of the pleasure yesterday. !
Ex-Mayor J. William Bowman, |
i who threw open everything at his
! summer place for his frfends of the
| Y. M. C. A. and their guests, was
i showered with compliments as the

i certain fruits and vegetables, the
weight of 'which is fixed per bushel,

as is being done in many cases and

The Pennsylvania laws fix 80
