Tho voting women represent the

lic health worker yet to be named.
Thin journey of the Pol sh Gray
Fit mar! tans, all of whom are from
widely separated parts of the Unit
ed Htates, Is the result of a plan
worked out nearly two years ago
by the National Hoard of the loung
Women'n Christian Association in
New York. It was their idea that"
the most valuable assistance which
America could give to Europe after
the war would be the trained work
ers of different nat'onalities whie.t
she could give to the older Euro
pean countries to assist in their re
habilitation. „
As a gift from the Young wom
en's Christian Association to Po
land special nurses' training courses
were opened to Polish young wom
en. will'ng to go later to Poland, in
such eities as Milwaukee, Roches
ter New York. Trenton. N. J .
Cleveland. Ohio; St. Louis. Mo., and
Detroit, Michigan. Three hundred
young Polish women joined these
courses about a year ami a half ago j
end were given a special three- r
month course in their home eities. .
At the completion of tho prelim- |
'nary course, ninety out of the orig- j
Jnal three hundred girls were se-,
peted for further training at the |
Polish Gray Samaritan school n |
New York. Here they have been for
nearly a year, studying dietetics, the
principal of case work, family re
habilitation. the care of children
end first aid. The twenty young
women sail'ng on the Rochambeau
thvs represent the first picked unit
to he sent abroad out of the orig
inal Sfifi girls who volunteered for
th's special mission.
The unit will carry clothing and
equipment for a vear. its expenses
1 >-'ng shared by the Young Women's
( hr'.stian on nnd the Polish
• -construction committee. The 1.
V. c. A. supplies the young wom
< i with transportation to Poland
: 1 bad: to America, and a salary i
'or three or four months. Then it
s expected that they will he under
the supervision of the Polish gov
ernment.
From Warsaw the Polish Gray
Fi maritans will he sent out into |
the towns and villages of the coun
try. Their trip niav bo duplicated
1 other units from America, but
t'-is has not been definitely de
eded upon.

HE SINGS "YANK. YANK, YANK
When the nuthatches call It
pounds as if they were saying, "Yank,
yank, yank," and this is true both of
the white-breasted and the red
brcasted birds of this species, says
the American Forestry Association,
of Washington, which is conducting
the national birdhouse building con
test for rchool children that is arous
ing much interest. These birds hnvo
a clever manner of cracking nuts.
They will wedge them in the crev
ices of bark on the tree and then
peck at them with their bills until
the nut is opened. Woodpeckers use
their tails for support as they climb
the trunk of a tree but the nut
hatches usually climb with their
head down and their tail pointed to
ward the zenith.

Four million Rumanians of Transyl

towns for the benellt of the King and
Queen could hardly he exceeded. The
clothing worn by the peasants had
changed but little with the passing cen
turies. Some looked as though they
had stepped out of the liible. They
wore sackcloth. homespun, leather,
shoes, the loose shirt with flowing
sleeves worn by the old Romans, leath
er girdles for currying weapons, highly
colored sashes and shawls, beaded
aprons and buckskin moccasins.
Queen Marie, radiant and happy, was
the Idol of all. Ileskle her stood her
favorite child, the little Princess Iley
ana. a prototype of her beautiful
mother. King Ferdinand was dressed
in the uniform of a general.
To the Associated Press correspon
dent. who was the only newspaper man
accompanying the royal party, he said
the cheers of the thousands as they
marched past compensated him for the
trials of the war.
In addition to the parades there
were numerous displays resembling the
county fairs of America. The farmers
and their wives showered the King.
Queen and Princess with gifts. Those
of the Queen included rugs, towels, ta
blecloths, cushions, sashes, shawls, or
naments and crucifixes.
Princess Ileyana received all kinds of
gifts, including live lambs nnd rab
bits.
BLAJRJFUSBTJRG TELEGRAPH
TURKS MOVING
ON ARMENIANS
With Aid of. Tartars Tlicy
Have Cut Off Ameri
can Relief
Paris, July 31. —Turks and Tar
tars are moving upon the Armen
ians from three sides. They have
cut off the American relief supplies
and threaten all the remaining Ar
menians with extermination unless
additional military protection is af
forded, according to dispatches
from Major Joseph C, Green, of
Cincinnati, who is directing the
American relief administration's
work from Tiflis.
Herbert Hoover, director general
of relief, immediately submitted
Major Green's message to the
Peace Conference, which already
had similar reports from other
American and British observers.
Major Green, under dnte of July
23, sends tho following from Tiflis:
"Had a long conference with tho
Armenian President to-day. The
situation is worse. The Turkish
army, well prepared, and Tartars
are advancing from three sides. If
military protection is not afforded
to Armenia immediately, the dis
aster will be more terrible than the
massacres in 1915, and the Armen
ian nation will be crushed, to the
everlasting shame of the Allies.
"Relief work is ntpossible in the
present situation unless order is
restored. Cannot something be
done to have the British forces in
the Caucasus intervene to save Ar
menia ?"
Under date of July 24, Major
Green telegraphs: "The Turks and
Tartars are advancing in the dis
tricts of Karalmgh and Alagbez.
They now occupy approximately tho
reopened territory of Russian Ar
menia. Khalil Bey, a Turkish colo
nel, is commanding tho Azerbaijan
Tartars."
Local Officers of
Bell Co. Transferred
Local Manager W. H. Fetter an
nounces that the local business office
of the Bell Telephone Company
of Pi nnsylvania has been removed
to the new quarters ut 206 North
Third street. The quarters arc cen
trally located, light and airy and Mr.
Fetter says it is the thought of the
Bell Company to extend every fa
cility to the public and the new
quarters have been fitted up with
this thought in mind.
Harrisburg is a particularly im
portant center and has had such an
exceptional growth that the ofllcc
occupied so many years by the Bell
Company at 208 Walnut street, was
needed for additional equipment
that will be immediately installed.
All bills will be paid and all con
tracts accepted in the future at 206
North Third street.
Refuses Appeal For New
Trial in Election Case
liy Associated Press.
Philadelphia, July 31.—The Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania has
refused to entertain an appeal for a
new trial for the convicted police
men in the Fifth ward election con
| spiracy case and unless counsel eon
j templates some further legal action.
I the men will have to surrender
JULY 31, 1919
themselves within ten days to un- j
uergo their icspoctive sentences.
The opinion of the Supreme |
Court was brief, merely stating that |
"the seven members ol' the court
are ol one mind that no error was
committed on the trial of the peti- i
tioncrs."
The appeal to the Supreme Court j
was taken front the decision of the I
Superior Court which had sustain- j
ed tho conviction of the men by
a jury in the Chester county court |
at West Chester where the ease was j
taken on a change of venue.
