Postal Employes Did Great Work For Thrift Stamp Sales Postal employes had a big part in the sale of Thrift and War Stamps and are still at work. The house to-house campaign carried on by the mail carriers was the most ef fective method by which the stamps were sold and the faithfulness of these men has been the remark of all those who had anything to do with the various stamp campaigns. Another hard worker is John Heathcote, head of the Metropoli tan I-ife, who threw his whole field force over to the sale of stamps and made such a wonderful record that he was awarded a handsome medal for his services.

Library Did Good Work During the War The Harrisburg Public Library was the center of activity of the American Library Association in be half of the Army for this part of Pennsylvania during the war. Thou sands of books were assembled here and sent to the Army in France and to camps and posts in this country. The library was the center of 19 counties for the library work which was directed here by Miss Alice R. Eaton, the librarian. Miss Eaton toured the district, made addresses and arranged for shipment of the books to this city, where the staff of tlic Public Library took charge of them. Many books read by Pennsylvania soldiers were gathered here and sent from the institution at Front and Walnut streets. The library' has been the head quarters of the Red Cross in Harris burg and of various other move ments during the war. it has been Red Cross headquarters for over a year and a half. The first display of war posters from abroad, together with a dis- I play of American posters, was made in this library. fiABBISBURG TEtEGRIPH Harrisburg's War Record Accomplish- Quota. ment.

Contributed $806,100 in all War Work campaigns—an average of $10.75 for every man, woman and child in the city. Approximately 3,500 men enlisted in all branches of the service. (Note: The above figures are calculated on the basis of the pres ent estimated population for Harrisburg proper of 75,000.) CITY IS FAR TO FRONT IN DRIVES Every Call Found Harrisburg Dipping Generously Into Its Pockets i Harrisburg gave generously to I every war service fund from start to finish of the conflict. Just as its boys volunteered in such numbers that the first draft left the city im mune, so did the people of the city come to the front every time they were called upon to buy bonds or give of their incomes to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus or any of the other war drives. They bought Liberty Bonds to the amount of $24 4 for every man, woman and child in the city. The total was more than $18,000,000. They contributed to the various war service drives an average of $10.75 for every man, woman and child of the population. The total was $806,100. In every campaign Harrisburg went over the top. In some of the campaigns the large amounts sub scribed by Harrisburg people helped to carry some nearby counties of the Harrisburg district over the top. The city did not begrudge these sums. It had the money and it was happy to spend it in a cause so good. Not only the people at large are entitled to praise for their patriotic endeavors and self-sacrifices. There were those who engineered the drives and those who went out and did the actual work of soliciting to whom a special mead of appreciation is due. ' The chairman of the Harrisburg district in the Liberty Loan drives was Donald McCormick. William Jennings had charge of the county. Andrew S. Patterson was chairman of the city proper and under each of them was a body of devoted assist ants and campaigners who spent day after day in getting together the. funds that gave Harrisburg such an excellent record for war work. Nobody knows except themselves how many sacrifices these men made, but they never mentioned the dis agreeable part of their work rejoic ing only that they were able to per form a service and regretting only that their age or other circumstances prevented them from performing greater service. Harrisburg owes a lot to these men who went through campaign after campaign regardless of their own personal interests. There never will be any reward for them ether than the satisfaction that comes to those who know that they have done a good piece of work to the best of their ability. They will receive no badges, no parades will be held in their honor, but just the same they were a vitally important factor in the winning of the war. Boy Scouts Were Loyal Workers in War Period The Boy Scouts of Harrisburg per formed yeoman service during the war. Nowhere was there a more patriotic organization. Loyal and enthusiastic, they accepted any duty assigned them. They distributed circulars, they helped the Red Cross as messengers, they sold Liberty Bonds, they acted as guards of honor and they did great work as police duty, handling great crowds like during the big war celebrations. And when tho war was over they heralded the signing of the Peace Treaty in true boy fashion, lighting a great bonfire in the Capitol exten sion zone ' plaza, and celebrated in the good old-fashioned American ' way. TELEGRAPH HAD MANY AT FRONT Men Made Excellent Record in All Branches of the Service From the beginning of the war the Telegraph Printing Company represented in government service, some of the employes being called out with the old National Guard units when they were mobilized, others joining these organizations when orders came to recruit them to full war strength. Shortly after ward at the first officers' training school members of the Telegraph family were enrolled, and later were commissioned. Forty-one employes were in war service. Following are those who were in army, navy service and from whom the other members of the Telegraph family received much interesting news about tho happenings in camp and the war areas: Captain Harry A.

" DRAFT BOARDS HADBIGTASK Men Worked Long and Faith fully to Select Men For Great National Army Shortly after the declaration of war in April, 1917, orders were re ceived from Washington to prepare for registering men under the pro visions of the selective service act. The late Mayor Charles A. Miller with City Solicitor John E. Fox and Dr. J. W. McMullen constituted ■tho organizing board in the city. City, Clerk R. Ross Seaman acted as clerk. County Commissioner C. C. Cumbler, Dr. C. R. Phillips, county medical inspector, and Sheriff W. W. Caldwell prepared for the draft registration in tho county with Register of Wills Ed. H. Fish er, at that time chief clerk to the County Commissioners, as clerk. The preliminary organization of city service boards was decided up on. The city was divided into dis tricts as follows: First, including the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards; Second, including the Second, Eighth, Ninth and Thir teenth wards; Third, including tho Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth wards. The Fourteenth ward at that time was part of Sus quehanna township. The original members of the vari ous city boards were: First district, ! Mercer B. Tate, Dr. J. Rosa Swartz and B. Frank Nead; Second district, Frederick R. Smith, Dr. Thomas E. Bowman and Alderman George A. Hoverter; Third district, John C. Orr, Dr. Claude W. Batdorf and J. William Bayles. Thousand Registered Polling places in the city and county districts, with few excep tions were used for the first regis tration on June 5, 1917, with regis trars and registry assessors in tho district volunteering their services for the work. There was no evidence that throughout the entire city and county anyone had deliberately evaded registration who was within the draft age. Reports were receiv- j ed that a few had not registered j but the authorities straightened out j the difficulties quietly. At first the official county show- ' ed that in the city and county there j were 14,141 men liable for select- ! ive service, 6,915 of that number re- ! siding in Harrisburg. When cards were received from other parts of j the State and country tor the men j who could not be home on regis- j tration day, the official total reach- | ed 14,269, with 6,912 in the city and 7,357 men in the county. A> very small percentage of this num-j ber had to be listed as physically i disqualified. Division of the county into dis- j tricts was another step in the or- | ganization work. The lower end j of the county, including Steelton, , Highspire, Middletown and Royal- i ton boroughs, Londonderry and | other townships constituted the first | district. The central, and eastern j part of the country to Peter's moun- | tain on the north, practically all i within about a 15-mile radius to the I east and 6 to 8 miles on the north 1 from Harrisburg, represented the ; second district, including Hummels- i town, Paxtang and Penbrook ] boroughs. The Third county dis- ] trict comprised the entire north- I ern end of the county, including i Millersburg, Halifax, Elizabethville, i Lykens, Williamstown, Uniontown, j Gratz and Berrysburg boroughs. Numbers Assigned Assignment of serial numbers ac cording to the service regulations I followed and when these serial lists were first issued the interest of the public, particularly the men in the draft age, in the plans for raising the nation's war strength, greatly in creased. By this time the draft boards were reorganized. Ex-Governor Martin G. Brum baugh, the chief executive of the State at the time, issued an order that the mayor, city solicitor, sher iff and county medical inspector, should be members of the boards in i the respective districts in which i they resided. Due to the death of j Mayor Charles A. Miller Harrisburg I had only acting mayor at the time, ' the late William L. Gorgas. City Solicitor John E. Fox and i Sheriff W. W. Caldwell, both resid [ ing in the First city draft district, became members of that board. Dr. I V. Hummel Fager was the physician appointed to the board and Albert M. Hamer and Burton R. Speas acted as clerks. Throughout the entire war the members of all the draft boards de voted many hours of their time to the work, frequently working until ] late at night to complete the duties assigned by the government in the | rush to get men in camp., The second city board when or- I ganized for work including Edwin j C. Thompson. Mr. Smith and Dr. ' Bowman. On the third city board j Dr. Phillips, because of his office as I medical inspector, replaced Dr. Bat- j dorf. In December, 1917, Miss I Maudeline D. Shoaff was named clerk of this board. Questionnaires Mailed In the first county district the members were C. C. Cumbler, High spire: Allen Drawbaugh and Dr. | B. T. Dickinson, of Steelton, with ' PATRIOTISM MARKED WAR-TIME PARADES ' Three Big Pageants Stand Out in List of Many Which Did Much to Keep Enthusiasm at Fever Point During the Long Struggle Harrisburg's war-time parades, all of them In the interest of deeper pa triotic feeling in the community, were among the most spectacular in the history of the city. Three of them stand out as of particular interest. The first took place soon after the war started. It was known at the time as "Every body's Patriotic Parade." It was in augurated in a small way by the late Lieutenant Thomas Moran, but grew so rapidly in popularity and import ance that in a short time it was al most too big to be handled in the city streets. Indeed, when it came down to getting the line in motion it was found that the head of the procession was already coming back past the forming point before the tail end had gotten under way. Prac tically every organization in the city was in line, from the Grand Army veterans to the Boy Scouts, and it was one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations in the history of the city. Scores of banJs blared, flags were flung to the breeze from every heme along the way, and the march ers sang and cheered to the breeze front every home along the way and the marchers sang and cheered con tinously, even during a rain storm that swept over the city. The pa rade continued through the rain and a few minutes the sun came out and the clouds rolled away, an augury of the victorious peace that was to follow the war. Even larger than this was the great Fourth of July celebration of 11' l 8, which marked the highwater mark of war parades in Harrisburg. 11 the Kaiser had been able to look down upon it from an airplane (it never would have done for him to get a glimpse of it from the ground) he would nave been very much im THAT "COOKIE" JAR AT THE CIVIC CLUB HUNDREDS of soldiers scat tered ull over the country carried from Harrisburg forrd memories of the "cookie" jar at the Civic Club's building on North Front street. The club turned the handsome home over to the uses of the soldiers. They were always welcome there when in the city and the "cookie" jar, like the widow's crust, always in use and still always full, had a prominent place on the center table in the big room. Many a lad, hungering for home cooking, filled both his stomach and his pockets from the jar and carried the news to others stationed in the nearby camps who also came to see and to taste. But the "cookie" jar was only one fea ture of the club's activities. Little dances were held there under proper chaperonage where homesick soldiers met Harris burg young women and formed acquaintanceships that in some cases will continue through life. Sunday evenings there were en tertainments and little suppers, with dinners and special celebra tions for holidays. The club did a good work in providing the visiting soldier with good influ ences and entertainment during his leisure hours. Walter Keister as clerk. The second district board members were Arthur H. Eailey, Paxta.ng; George W. Kar many, Hummelstown, and Dr. M. L. Nissley, Hummelstown, with D. C. Kochenderfer, of Paxtang, as clerk. On the third county board were W. J. Daniels, of Elizabethville; Dr. D. E. Hottenstein, Millorsburg, and C. N. Finton, Lykens, who was finally compelled to resign because of his many duties at the mines. John C. Bixler, Fishervile, also was a member of the board for some time. Early in 1918, when the first questionnaires were mailed out, the services of attorneys of the county bar were necessary. For about three weeks many of the lawyers demoted hours of their time, without charge, aiding registrants to fill out these papers. But for the splendid co-op eration of the attorneys and the county court, the work of the servico boards would have been almost im possible to complete within the time allowed by the government. Date in August, 1918, men who had become 21 years of age since June, 1917, registered and early in September all men between the ages of 18 and 45 years registered, many thousands of names being added to the lists of the draft boards. Ques tionnaires were again sent out to the new registrants and the attorneys again helped. This time the work progressed rapidly, so that by Oc tober some of the boards had al ready called new registrants and sent them to camp. pressed with the fact that foreign bcrn eitizer\s were behind Uncle Sam to the limit. Thousands upon thous ands of them were in line, some wearing their old-world costumes and carrying the banners of their native countries, but all carrying the Stars and Stripes and cheering and singing for the United States. It was ar. inspiring procession, and it was scheduled to wind up in Capitol Park with patriotic singing at high noon, but at 2.30 in the afternoon the pa rade was still in motion. However, promptly at 12, the parade came to a stop—men and women bared their heads, the bands stopped playing, a gieat silence fell upon the mulitltude and all paused for one minute to of fer up a silent prayer for the suc c< ss of the Allied arms and the pre servation of American soldiers on the battlefields of France. It was at' inspiring sight; nothing like it had ever occurred in Harrisburg. But even more wonderful was the outpouring of women in the Red Cross parade of last autumn. Not a man was in line, but the procession was more than a mile long, and every woman was in costume. It was the most beautiful thing the city had ever seen. Women and girls, from 71) years to 7 took part. Mothers of lads in France, and wives and moth ers who had lost their loved ones in the war. marched courageously with the more fortunate sisters, choking back the tears that filled their souls. It is a great pity that Harrisburg did not make moving pictures of these wonderful patriotic outpour ings of the people at home. Return ing soldiers ought to have them for their instruction and entertainment,, and the public ought to have them as records of the devotion of a self sacrificing people.

The comlepte list of the divisions engaged In this gigantic battle were the Ist, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. sth, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32nd, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82nd, 89th, 90th, 91st. In all about one million two hundred thousand men took part. Towards the end of the battle we were using about 4,000 guns. In all we fired four and a quarter million shells, about the same number as were fired during the entire Civil War. But despite the horror of the dead, of the wounded, shattered men, of the desolated country, there was something huge, overwhelmingly impressive about that battle that defies description. Clever war correspondents have visited the front and written wonderful de scriptions but they came up for a few days from Paris, rode around in lim ousines, tramped through the mud for i a few hours or a couple of days and then went back to Paris and tried to describe a battle. No one can possibly grasp what it really was like cither from words or trom photographs. You had to be there, a part of the vast machine to be able to grasp what it really was like. In spite of the mud and cold, in spite of the 'gold fish' (Canned sal mon) and 'corned Willy' (corned beef), in spite of death and wounds, no one who was there can think of it now with out a thrill. At the End I can never forget one night when we moved in alongside of a camp of re placements, waiting to be assigned to fill the vacancies in some division. There | were veterans of the Ist Division, with their two service chevrons, back from ■ hospital for another whack at the Boche, wounded from the divisions who fought lin the Marne salient and in the St. Mihiel, cured and back for duty, and there were pale, clean faced lads just from the States, curious, interested in everything and a little frightened. For a wondrr it had stopped raining, though the clouds were still hanging low. The replacements had just come in and were standing around in groups watching the sights. To the north the horizon was lighted by a flickering glow that re minded one of summer lightning below the horizon. At frequent intervals there would be a brighter flash from some great gun hidden to our front. And with that flickering light there came a steady roll of high pitched thunder, interrupted by deep base booms like the beating of a bass drum. In fact there were many different tones in this diapason of sound, tones which Wagner in his wildest flights of operatic tones and undertones would never have dream ed trying to imitate. No stage scene nor orchestra could begin to produce such sound and scenic effects. And then above all other sounds would come a whistle, swiftly changing to a wild screech and ending in a sickening crash, as a great shell passed overhead and bust a quarter of a mile in rear. Slowly the light and sound to the north died away, but to the northeast it increased in volume and extended southward until it was flaming and rumbling clear down to the southeast of us on the other side of the river. And slowly, like a great wave it died away in the east and rolled on to the west along the line in front of us until it extended far to the northwest. Then it subsided until high above the rumble could be heard the staccato bark of machine guns. And from w.here we watched, In the midst of a desolation worse than Dante's In ferno, all the foreground was lighted so that we could see the shell holes, the barb wire, the broken wagons, smashed rifles, helmets,' garments, all of the wreckage of battle, from half a mile or more to the north. And we all stood there for hours, watching when we should have been sleeping, but we were viewing a spectacle that only the priv ileged ones had a chance to see.
