'FIGHT WITHOUT SHOES, RIFLES OR HEAVY GUNS 20,000 Scantily Equipped Rus sians Driving Back 80,000 Bolsheviki By Associated Press. Paris, July 25. —■ Twenty thou sand Russians, many of them barefoot and without rifles and unsupported by heavy artillery, compose the NoVth ern Russian army, whose front ex tends from the Finnish fcoas't to Pskov and which is driving back towards Petrograd a Bolshevik army four times as large, according to re ports received here from officers of the American relief administration on the scene. These officers are working part of the time under Bolshevik lire en deavoring to provision and to pro vide medical supplies to this new army, made up chiefly of Russians under prominent old-time Russian leaders. Officers and soldiers alike are clamoring for tanks, which had been promised them by the Allies and with the help of which they ex press confidence that they could reach Petrograd speedily. White Bread Wins Them The report 3of the provisioning I show that after that urrival in some sectors early in July of white Ilour supplied by the Americans many of the Bolsheviki succumbed to the lure of white bread and Joined their ene mies.

BIG AUDITORIUM WILL COST HALF MILLION [Continued from First Page.] which took over the first mortagage bonds. One of the results of the build ing of the great auditorium at Pitts burgh was an Immediate increase of the membership of Syria Temple, so that'the revenue from fees and dues was at once greatly increased, making the maintenance of the au ditorium and the reduction of the bonded debt a comparatively easy matter. Already the Pittsburgh fra ternity is contemplating the ac quirement at a cost of $140,000 of contiguous vacant property fronting on the boulevard. Need Is Urgent In submitting Its report the com mittee will point out the urgent need of a great auditorium for Har risburg and the insistent demand for a suitable convention hall which the increasing convention activities of the city niukc necessary. It is be lieved the financial plan adopted by the Pittsburgh Temple will serve the purposes ot Zembo Temple with some sl.ght modifications. Tho au ditorium of the "Smoky City" is lo cated in the suburbs where ample space was available and where suf ficient parking facilities for automo biles could bo obtained. It is the be lief of the Harrisburg committee, which made a study of the Pitts burgh auditorium, that it would be unwise to locate the proposed half in any central section for the reason that great conventions would neces . arily compel provision for parking hundreds of automobiles. The com mittee suggests as an obvious need parking facilities In connection with such a building. 'When Syria Temple erected its b g auditorium In Btgelow Boule vard, about five miles from the business center of Pittsburgh, its membership was about the same as the present numerical strength of Zombo Temple, and with the rapid growth of the Harrisburg organiza tion Colonel Covert and those who are associated with him and who agree with him on the immediate need of such a building believe that the undertaking Is entirely feasible from every standpoint and will pro vide for another great need of tho city following the achievement of the community effort in the build ing of the Penn-Harris Hotel. Conference Called In sending out the formal notices for the conference next Wednesday night, the officers of Zembo Temple have killed two birds with one stone, in that a beautifully-printed book let covering scenes and features of For Tired, Aching Feet, Painful Corns and Bunions PROMPT RELIEF Make your poor tired feet happy tonight by rubbing on a littje sooth ing, eoolißg Wormwood Balm.

SCENES AT THE FAMOUS ISLE OF QUE CAMP . ' • ; y-.:} ... .;•* I - 1 ' ■i: - > the Imperial Council session to be held at Portland, Oregon, will give the membership a tine impression of the Pacific coast city which will en tertain the Nobles next June. At the convention next week the Hai rlsburg men N of the fraternity will determine to what extent the local temple will be represented at the Imperial Council. This booklet will prove a valued souvenir and Is ex pected to arouse still greater inter est in the western trip. Colonel Covert, as the official head of Zembo Tdmple, when asked whether the notices to the mem bership covered all the details ot the proposed auditorium, stated that the whole matter would be thor oughly threshed out at the confer ence next Wednesday. He added, however, that he had no doubt of the success of the movement and felt greatly encouraged over the interest that had already been man ifested by members of tho fraternity all over the jurisdiction which in cludes York, Adams, Dauphin, h Franklin, Cumberland, Perry and part of Juniata counties. He observed that many interest ing features would be embraced in the projected building, including a modern gymnasium, a siwmnting pool and other appointments which would make the auditorium avail able for many purposes. Chestnut street hall, which has been under lease to Zembo Temple for some years, has already become too small for its uses and more room must be provided. The undertaking is of great inter est not only to the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in this jurisdiction, but also tp the general public which recognizes the need of such a building. During the war the lo cal temple originated many pa triotic ceremonials in harmony with the spirit of the time, but carefully avoided the purely social and light programs which occasionally char acterize the ceremonial sesrsions of the fraternity as not being in keep ing with the war period. It Is believed that an auditorium such as is proposed with a large seating capacity and the appoint ments of a modern convention hall will do much for Ilarrisburg and attract hither hundreds of large as semblages which cannot now be ac commodated.

SHOULD TAKE IRON NUXATEP IRON HATUFCJSBTTRCF TEUEQR3LPTT VISITORS' DA Y AT COVERT'S KAMP HMS GRAND HILARIOUS OCCASION Camp Harry C. Ross, on the Isle of Que, Scene of Happy Reunion of Campers First Time Since Start of War This is the story of "visitors* dAy" at Camp Harry C. poss, on the Isle of Que, opposite S'clinsgrove, w.hero Colonel Charles E. Covert and his brave little band of campers are holding forth for the week. Of course, there are a lot of things about this camp that the mere out sider never learns, but so far as pos sible one of the guests who toured up to the Isle at the Invitation of Colonel Covert got behind the scenes and he has faithfully recorded his findings. In the first place, the camp is properly named, for it is just as charming as its sponsor, Harry C. Ross, who had the surprise of his life when he got into camp Monday morning and saw his name in big letters on a banner swung across the entrance of the camp. Every body up at camp calls him "Boss" Ross and he never resents the soft Impeachment. He is one of tho liveliest figures in camp, despite the fact that he carried a saber in many a gallant cavalry dash in the Civil War and by all ordinary methods of computing age ought to be an old man. "Hello, young fellow," was the greeting one guest gave him yesterday and he responded cheer fully, "That's me." Another outstanding figure of the camp is Colonel Covert himself. Every summer, barring that of last year when the war interfered, the Colonel has had a big camp on the Isle of Que, which is just opposite his boyhood home between Penn's Creek and the river. Each summer he gathers about him a party of his personal friends, made up mostly of members of Zembo Temple, Mystic Shriners, of which he is the poten tate, and takes them entirely at his own expense to camp for a full week. Lucky is the man who gels an invitation, for the Colonel's camps are famous among those who love the outdoors. And each year, on Thursday of the camp, falls visitors' day, which is why this happens to be written, for on other occasions re porters and their activities are dis couraged about camp. "There is a reason," as Cenator Prank A. Smith, formerly general factotym of the en campment and who this year sent his tearful regrets from California where he is on a business trip, might have said had he been present. But, as the writer started out to say, Colonel Covert is the main ga zabo of the camp not only because he is the host but because he is a leader in every form of sport from quoits to volleyball and from base ball to swimming. He is the first man in the field and the last to leave it. The Colonel gives all credit for laying out the camp to Captain Frank Hoy, who went up late last week and put up the canvas, named the streets, laid out the volleyball field, etc., and laying out the Colonel's camp is some job, for It embraces the erection of spmc fifty tents of var ious sizes, to say nothing of kitch ens, mess halls and the like. "Cappy" has some fine Ideas about street naming, too. For example, the row of tents at the head of tho camp, where such high lights as the Colo nel, "Boss" Boss. Lieutenant Gover nor Beidleman, "Art" Bacon, Mercer B. Tate and "Cappy" himself have their headquarters, is known as Highbrow avenue; one side of the company street hears the inscription, "Rue do Ruffneks," while the other is "Allah Alley." In front of the Colonel's tent Is the flagpole with a big sign, "Covert's Kamp," flat on the ground beneath it. "Why put the sign on the ground?" asks the innocent visitor. "Oh," is the solemn reply, "that's for the aerial mail carrier," whereat the aforesaid innocent visitor mar j vols at the wonders of Mr. Burleson's i transcontinental, get-lost-in-the-fog, 1 get-therc-once-ln-a-whlle system of postal transportation, for it is a sad fact that up to this time the aerial j mailman has not delivered a single (letter to the Colonel's Kamp. "Covert's Terrqcse" Then there is the lovely little gar ! den next door to the headquarters tent, labeled ''Covert's Terrace" in I which are planted a stalk of corn, a I sunflower, a milkweed and a dande lion. This is supposed to piake you I laugh, but it couldn't prevent a wave ;of sorrow from sweeping over the j Tsle yesterday morning when it was | discovered that "Doc" Kann was j missing from his bunk and it was currently reported that he had been carried away by a big mosquito. His I fellow campers gathered sorrowfully i about and in lieu of the missing com | rnde they rigged up an effigy of the j doctor from tome of his spare cloth ing, laid a cornstalk across the breast where, a lily should have been, got out the band, played a fu neral dirge and held funeral services. In the midst of the performance "Doc" showed up. He confessed he couldn't stand the snoring of "Dave" McConnell and had gone into Selins grove to sleep. "Mart" Fager, who posed as "Bill" Hart, the movie star, all week, tog ged up in white flannels, and with Mercer Tate and "Cappy" Hoy gave the natives of Selinsgrove a glimpse of .their sartorial elegance Wednes day evening and the village con stable sent word to the island that he "wished they'd keep those fly birds at home hereafter." "Ed" Weaver, the confectioner, ts an other who has been getting rid of his surplus dignity at camp, going about with his slender Appolo-like form clad in a suit that would have put a circus fatman to envy. Visitors' Day Yesterday the campers laid themselves out to please their visi tors,, of whom there were upwards Of a hundred, the excellent automo bile arrangements having been made by "Art" Bailey who got the cars together In Harrisburg at the "Hatchery" and stayed until all of them were on their way. The only Only in New York would such a Roof Garden Restau rant as that of Hotel Pennsylvania be possible—this modish, attractive dining room, 280 feet above the sidewalk. For the matter of that, it is only in New York that Hotel Pennsylvania would be possible this largest hotel _ in the world, with conveniences, comforts and luxuries that make instant appeal to travelers who want the best there is. STATLER-OPERATED— In connection with Soto/P<P7in^/vania Buffalo Cleveland Detroit St.JLouij Opposite Pennsylvania Terminal, New York 2200 rooms 2200 baths untoward incident occurred when H. M. Burd steered Bailey Into a back road and headed him for the wilds of Perry county. "Always take the back road," is Burd's ad vice, referring of course to the many detours required now because of the numerous road building de velopments under w/iy. George Biles, of the State Highway Department, who was present, heartily agreed and there were rumors that He was in camp to lay out a series of State highways centering in the Isle of Que and leading in all directions. When J. W. Brubaker, of Millers burg, heard that he said he was going to Harrisburg immediately to petition Mr. Sadler to include a bridge over the river at Millersburg in the plan, and Byron Houck, Reno Gage, George Harris and Charles Speaker, Williamsport city officials who were present, said they were for anything that looked like a de velopment of the Susquehanna Trail. Adjutant General'B.eary, who had wifh him his chief clerk "Ben" Demming, Captain Hicks and Cap tain Lutringer, was busy getting pointers on how to run a big en campment and he experimented with baseball, quoits and volleyball as a means of keeping up the morale of troops. In these activities he was joined by Ideutenant Governor Beidleman,, who has not missed one of the camps since the iirst tent went up. Among the visitors were Mayor Keister and the city commission ers. as well as a host of financiers, political hifeh lights, manufactur ers, professional men and a line as sortment of businessmen in all lines of trade, every one of whom is proud to be known as a friend of the JULY 25, 1919. Colonel. S. S. Lewis, the Republi can leader of York, full of enthu siasm and the good eats which "Cappy" Hoy had prepared, with the assistance of a corps of cooks, declared that if he ever removes from York county it will be to come to Harrisburg. Wayne Webber Journeyed all the way from Read ing to spend the day. Sheriff Cald well, of Dauphin county, spooked about, keeping his eye open for mysterious packages that might stray into camp, but there was noth ing doing. Recorder "Jimmy" Lentz droppe'd in from Sunbury in the afternoon. Mercer B. Tate, who Is one of the Colonel's rlghthand men and one of the most popular of" the campers, told the sheriff the only sign of disorder that he had detected was when the crowd want ed to charge the mess tents, but this had been avoided by lining 'em up military fashion and making 'em march to meals. Between Tate and Hoy the camp is certainly a model of democracy and good order. The Colonel is an "easy boss" and no body takes advantage of his kind ness. And, by the way, there is the camp yell. It goes something like this: "Exte-aderday, Beans on Saturday, Covert's Aoademy, At-a-boy! At-a-boy!" Or words to that general effect. Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair j If you want to keep your hair in ] good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos j contain too much alkali. This dries I the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut j oil shampoo (which is pure and en tirely greaseless). is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing as this can't possibly injure the hair.' Simply moisten your hair with wa ter and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, flaffy and easy to man age. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the fam ily for months. No More Rheumatism Torturing I'nins and Swollen Joints Vanish When Rlicuina Is Used. At last a real remedy for rheuma tism! And a good one it must be when Kennedy's Drug (.-tore, and good druggists everywhere sell it on the no-cure no-pay basis. Rheumatics should hail the neWs with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy und has a rec ord of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga., t says about it: "I had sciatic rheumatism for two years, and tried every medicine offer ed for rheumatism. Tried many doc tors, was treated at one of the best Southern sanatoriums, and if 1 un proved any 1 did not realize it. 1 am a conductor on the Central of Geor gia railroad, and had secured a pass to Hot Springs, Ark., to take treat ment. About that time I saw ltheu ma advertised and concluded to try it. I abandoned my trip, took three bot tles, and now feel as well as ever. I would not take a hundred 'thousand dollars for . what Itheuma'has done for me. If you have rheumatism in any form don't delay—try Rheuma today. A large bottle is not expensive, and your money back if it does not give you quick and joyful relief.

However young our faces may appear, the sagging, llabby figure and forty inch waist "gives us away." The cause of this over stoutness Is that our stomachs convert the food we eat into fat because there is not enough oxygen in the blood to pro duce a proper combustion to destroy the excess fatty tissue. Fat people will be pleased to learn of a simple home method that is wonderfully ef ficient in reducing weight, quickly and easily without a starving diet, violent massage or strenuous exer ! else. Go to any drug store and get | a box of Phynola; take five grains after each meal and at bed time. This I treatment will often give quick re -1 lief from overburdening fat. Phy nola taken at meal time assists the stomach in giving you the benefit of the food you eat; at the same time dissolves the fatty tissue from any part of tlie body where there is exces sive fat. By this method many have reduced their weight a pound a day and there is no ilabbiness left. Gorgas, the druggist: stores. 16 N.-Thlrd St., 3rd and Walnut sts. and Penna. R. R.
