AIRPLANE TO WARN ADMIRAL OF SUBMARINE Kipona Spectators Will See llow Fliers Gave Army News of Attacks How airplanes acted as "eyes for the Army" in France and often en abled the American forces to re pulse enemy attacks by communi cating valuable information to the men in the trenches will be dem onstrated before the thousands who witness Hnrrisburg's annual Kipona celebration next Monday evening. Through the co-operation of Colonel J. B. Kemper's recruiting force, and Colonel Kirkland. com mander of the Middletown aviation field, one of the Middletown pilots will fly over the Admiral's flagship and by means of flares give warning of a coming attack. About 7.30 p. m. an airplane will come up the river from a scoutiftg trip. At it approaches Admiral J. William Bowman's flagship the scout will signal by means of col ored tire balls that he has discover ed an enemy submarine attack ap proaching. His signal will also mean that the attack is coming from the direction in which he is Hying. The Admiral's staff will signal back a question as to the time of the attack, to which the aviator will reply; the stall will then ask the strength of the attacking force to which the scout will again reply. The final signal by the staff will be, "Message understood." All this signaling will be by fire balls from Very signal pistols. A similar episode actually hap pened to a member of the Admiral's staff during the St. Mihiel offensive, giving our troops time to prepare for and repulse a very violent German attack, which, if successful, might iz J ' v jrS \iwiflfry-w 1 jfesinol healing my eczema so quickly!

The rockets used in the fireworks display are the regulation Army rockets used during the war in France. They arc furnished for the occasion by the Army Recruiting Station. 325 Market street. The uses to which these rockets weye put were many and varied. For in stance, if the infantry were out of ammunition they would shoot up a prearranged signal such as white rockets followed by a red rocket and hack at the ammunition'' dump a detail would start forward with a fresh supply of cartridges. Per haps the Germans started an at tack, up would go a red caterpillar rocket and down in front of our in fantry would come an artillery bar rage. By using a combination of rockets almost anything could be signaled for. In addition to the rockets there will be used Very pistol cartridge signals. These shoot a white, red or green star from a big brass pistol. This star goes about 300 feet in the ai where as the rockets go up from a thou sand to twelve hundred feet in the air. The rockets each contain a small silk parachute to which five balls are attached. That is the rea son the rocket balls fall so slowly. These rockets are about four times as powerful as the ordinary sky rocket you buy in a store. The so-called caterpillar rockets are those with six or eight balls of fire hung on a wire, which in turn is suspended from a parachute. Be fore each attack certain combina tions of colors were agreed on as meaning certain things. Captain P. L. Barclay Promoted After Years of Service Here With P.R.R. Captain Paul Lloyd Barclay, head of the police department of the Philadelphia division of the Penn sylvania railroad was to-day pro moted to inspector of police of the Buffalo division. He left at noon for Buffalo and will return to Itar rlsburg Friday. He will take up his permanent residence at Buffalo in the near future following arrange ments for the removal of his family to that city. While there had been talk for sometime that a promotion was due Captain Barclay, the announcement came as a big surprise as it was thought no chnnge would be made at this time. Those who heard of the good news warmly congratulated the captain, but regret his depar ture. especially the officials of the Pennsylvania division. Captain Barclay came to Harris burg about six years ago. He was identified with the Philadelphia city police department. Pennsylvania railroad police and several national detective bureaus. Since he came to this city he has built up one of the best police departments on the Pennsy system. He has been in strumental in reducing the number of robberies and since assuming charge has broken up a number of car robbing gangs. He has cleaned up several murder cases, and has been commended by police authori ties in a number of cities for ills good work'.

HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH Altoona Shopmen Willing to Wait it Living Cost Is Given Big Decrease | .Altoona, Aug. 27.—While they hu>l j hoped for better results from the heads of the government on the ! wage question, railroad employes I In Altoona generally are taking a I j conservative view of the situation I I and if the government goes after' j the high cost of living in real eain- j : est and accomplishes something I j definite along that line, they will be i willing to accept the suggestion of | Piesident Wilson. Railroad employes have little j faith in the ability of the goveru : ment, through the investigations ; and the efforts now being made, of i bringing about any substantial re | duction in the cost of living. The great majority of the men are con servative and hope that a fight can j be avoided. They would be entirely . willing to forego an increase of ! wages if the cost of foodstuffs, ! wearables and other necessaries j could be brought down to reason able figures, but they do not think that the government is doing ail I that might be done to curb prolit- I eering. The attitude of the Altoona ra.il- I readers and shopmen was manifesv | od in the strike vote that has just been completed. More than ninety . fl\ e per cent, of them voted to re ject the plan of submitting their demands to a special commission to be created by Congress and in favor i of the proposition of insisting upon I tin meeting of their demands hi full. That they will stand firmly on the position assumed, there is 110 reason to doubt.

J. The Red Cross canteen at tlie Pennsylvania Railroad station is a busy place. Yesterday soldiers en route fo Mexico and Arizona were i given smokes and refreshments | when they passed through.

Hargest, of Harrisburg - , steel rail inspector of the Philadel phia division, Pennsylvania Rail road, was at Lebanon yesterday ar ranging for the delivery of a large consignment of new equipment for this division.

I At yesterday's session of the court, i : Quien traced his journey from St. i , Quentin to Brussels, where he ar- I I rived on June 7. After reaching the! | Belgian capital. Quien decided to j j cross the frontier into Holland. This 1 he succeeded in doing, presenting j himself at the Hague to the French military attache, who sent him back I into Belgium. He said to-day that he re-entered | Belgium on the night of June 23 in I company with one Van IDer Smiesson. | The next day he was arrested by the j Germans, who accused him of travel- I ing without a passport, and was im j prisoned in Antwerp until late in July. . This testimony was questioned by the colonel acting as president of the j court, who said it was "strange no I trace of his imprisonment could be I found at Antwerp, and that the Ger : mans Inter permitted Quien to go to | Brussels." [ • • tices Miss Cnvoll j Quien admitted having seen Miss Cavell on July 26, after he had visited the home of a Madame Bodart, at ! which time he said that a certain ; Jean Maes, who, he said, was a fel | low prisoner in Antwerp, accosted | him in the street. There was read | into the record a statement showing | that Maes was a "suspicious charac i tor" and that he was known to have been in the pay of the Germans, be- I ing employed by German police at i Brussels. | Madame Bodart gave Quien a paek | age to be left at the home of a Ma j dame Machicl. Quien denied that he : had examined its contents, although - during his preliminary examination i he admitted it contained road maps ' for the use of persons attempting to ! escape from the country.

Father Bonsteels was arrested j j and sentenced to 12 years impris j onment. • It was declared that Quien had j j asked a Madame Van Damme to aid ; I two young persons to escape, and j i that these two were directed to the I j frontier by Madame Van Damme, who ' | sent another lady with them as a i ! guide.
