UNCLE HARRY DESCRIBES LIFE IN THE WAR COUNTRIES
"You've told us H lot about the war
and the soldiers and the submarines
and torpedoes, Uncle Harrv, but how
about the people who live in England.
Germany, France and the other war-
Ting countries, but who are not taking
part in the battles; what are they do
ing and how are they living!" asked
Jiinmv.
''That is an interesting subject,"
paid Undo Harry. "I'm glad you
opoke about it, .limmy. There isn't
very much in the newspapers these
days about the 'stay-at-homes,' be
cause the news of actual war takes
so much space: but 1 have read con
siderable on this subject and I'll be
glad to tell you all that I can about
it. This is important too. because life
in the warring countries—l mean life
in those cities and districts not
■touched by the lighting, has undergone
many changes since last August."
"All the men have gone to war,
haven't they!" asked Joe.
"Most of them have," explained
Uncle Harry, "particularly the men
between the ages of 21 and 45—the
very men who in times of peace do
nearly all the useful work and provide
•the food and clothing and other things
that the people need."
"Do you mean the farmers and the
carpenters ami the street car conduc
tors?" asked Jimmy.
"Yes, all these men and many more
In other lines of work," said Uncle
Harry. "Of course, boys, all the men
'between 21 anil 45 years, have not
jsone to war, and there are many older
men whe are at home, working. But
business of all kinds has been badly
Mndicapped, with the exception of the
4'actories that manufacture ammunition i
for the soldiers and other things needed
in the fighting. These places are run
ning day and night and the workmen
are working harder than they ever
worked in times of peace."
"Then how are the children and
women and the men who have not gone
to war, getting along; how are they
getting food to eat and clothing to
wear?" asked Joe.
"Well, they are not getting along
very well and they are not very hap
py," said Uncle Harry. "Old men and
hoys are doing work that they are not
strong enough to do, and women arc
compelled to leave their homes every
day and do the same work that their
iiusbands and brothers and fathers did

will arrange them for distribution on <'
Su-nday. It is also requested that the -
residences along the line of march dis- r
play the national colors. A number of

participate in the parade an.l exercises, j

15, Sons of Veterans, all of Harris
burg, will leave on special trolley cars
at Market square, llarrisburg, at 1.45 c
o'clock. The uniformed guards of Camp j
15, S. of V., will arrive here at 11.20 g
a. m. After the memorial exercises at s
the Camp Hill cemetery, which will be n
held early in the forenoon. A number e
of Camps of the Patriotic, Order Sons li
of America, h'jve accepted invitations t
to be present aud it is expected that i
before the war. Only the other day,
a woman, who had just returned from
Paris, told me that in that city she
rode on a trolley car that had a woman
conductor and a woman ' motorman!'
The 'motorman' had two little children
—too small to leave at home, and as
sho luad no relatives in Paris who could
care for them she had 1 them on the trol
ley car with her; they sat on a box on
the'platform beside their mother.
"In all the countries women are do
ing men's work. They are plowing and
doing other kinds of farm work. The
soldiers must have food; the people who
work in the ammunition factories must
have food, and the mothers are not go
ing to let their little children starve
or starve themselves. Somebody must
raise the crops and take care of the
cows and pigs, and the women have to
do it."
"Haven't some of the countries run
short of food f'' asked Jimmy.
"Yes they have, and there is suffer
ing and want in every country in Eu
rope that is taking part in this war,"
added Uncle Harry. "And wherever
conditions have become very serious
and food very scarce the Governments
have taken charge of the supply and'
are seeing that it is evenly divided
amongst all the people—rich anil poor
alike. The Governments have discov
ered that the business of feeding the
soldiers and the people and supplying
them with their other needs, is m»rc
important than the business of making
money. Consequently the Governments
have taken charge of many factories,
and seized meat, bread and other food
supplies. This plan not only insures
every one getting at least a little to
eat but prevents a few people, with i
plenty of money, from buying up every-:
thing and keeping the food for their
own use. Some people in Kngland tried |
this as soon as the war started but the
Government quickly stopped them."
"You mean that everything is up
side down and all mixed up in the
countries that are taking part in the I
war?" asked Joe.
"That'B exactly what I mean," said
Uncle Harry. "And I want both you
boys to understand that the people
who do not go to war suffer very often,
just as much as the soldiers who are |
wounded and sick and who have to j
stand for hours, and even sleep, some- |
times, in muddy trenches."—Copyright!

WHEN DINNER COMES
One Ought to Have a Good Appetite

j goes a long way toward helping in the
i digestive process, and that is absolutely
' i essential to health and strength.

, I a great appetizer, and children like the
1 j taste of it and grow strong and rosy
j from its use.
It is especially the food to make a
weak stomach strong and create an ap
petite for dinner.
"I am 57 years old," writes a Tenn.

j as to my diet 1 enjoyed a reasonable
; degree of health, but never found any
! j thing to equal Grape-Nut# as a standby.
"When I have no appetite for break

Nuts with good rich milk, and when
j dinner comes I am hungry. While if T

AMUSEMENTS
Athletes at Colonial
The Seven Bracks, featured on this
bill at the Colonial theatre, are a group
of acrobats so wonderfully trained that
the audience sits in utter surprise
throughout their performance. The
Bracks have the distinction of originat
ing all of their own material. In this
way they keep their act aloof from
the customary routine of feats attempt
ed by the average acrobatic act. They
do some wonderful tumbling and pyra
mid building. Prince and Deary are a
man and woman in a singing and talk
ing act that belongs to the highest
grade of vaudeville. "Between
Trains" is the name of a comedy sketch
that tells a pleasing story, and is pre
sented in excellent style. Elsie White
is a pleasing girl with good and
pleasing repertoire of songs. Adv.*
At Paxtang Park
Manager Davis opened his summer
vaudeville season at the I'axtang Park
theatre last evening with a program
that served to raise considerable en
thusiasm in a fair-sized audience, in
spite of the fact that the weather was
a little too cool for open air theatricals.
Brindamour amused as well as mys
tified his audience with marvelous es
capes from manacles and knotted ropes
tied by volunteer experts from the audi
ence. Brindamour's act, although not
new to local theatre patrons, always
makes an interesting entertainment.
Caffnev and Dale pleased the audience
with comedy songs and smart dialogue.
The Gutzman Trio presented a most re
markable head and hand balancing
stunt that was made still more difficult
than the average acrobatic act of this
kind from the fact that the performers
balance themselves on large bronze
howls during the whole of their per
formance.
The Gutzman Trio presented a decid
ed novelty in acrobatics. Jordan, the
juggling phiend, and Fitzsimm'ons and
Cameron complete a most fascinating
vaudeville entertainment. Adv.*
At the Be?ent
Powerful story enthrallingly un
folded in "The Clemenceau <sase,"
most powerful of Dumas' works will
show at the Regent this afternoon ami
evening only. No more powerful ser
mon was ever preached than the Clem
eoceau Case. No more vivid, pulsating
drama was ever written than "Tho
Clemenceau Case," as picturized to
show at the Regent, and starring The
da Bara, "The Vampire Woman," has
ever been beheld upon the screen.
These statements are made without re
servation. Like a mighty river the story
of the drama rushes strong and swift
to its cataclysmic climax. Passions
fl'are and wills clash throughout the
production in a way that grips the
spectator, holding him breathless in
his chair till the last groat scene is
reached and the wcllnigh overwhelm
ing story of "The Clemenceau Case,"
is brought to its tremendous cud. Sat

'TURKS SINK FIFTH BRITISH
BATTLESHIP IN THE STRAITS
London, May 28.— I The first day of
Arthur J. Balfour's administration of
the Admiralty was marked by another
j heavy British loss in the Dardanelles. '
The Admiralty announced the torpedo- i
ing and sinking of the battleship Ma-j
jistic in the straits. The statement'
follows:
''An enemy submarine torpedoed
and sank H. M. S. Majestic, Captain !
II- 12. 0. Talbot, yesterday morning j
while it was supporting the army on the |
Gallipoli peninsula. Nearly all the offi
cers and men were saved."
A wireless message from Herlin says j
that the Majestic was sunk off Sedd-el- i
Bahr.
The Majestic was a battleship of [
14,900 tons' displacement and normally I
carried a crew of 757 men. She was j
built in 1895, being one of the old
j pre-dreadnought class and was the old
battleship in the active list of the Brit
ish navy.
Her length at the water line was
399 feet and her beam 75 feet. Her
length over all was 413 feet. (She was
armed with 4 12-inch guns, 12 6-inch,
16 12-pounders and 12 3-poundcrs, >
besides 2 maxims and 2 12-poundert
I boatguns. She also had 4 18-inch tor-N
j pedo tubes submerged and one above !
water. She was covered with heavy |
IHarvey armor. Her speed limit was
11> '/i knots. She was laid down at
Portsmouth in February, 1894, and
completed in January of the following
year. She was one of a class of nine |
(ships which included the Magnificent,
Hannibal, Prince George, Victorious, I
Jupiter, Mars, Caesar and Illustrious.
The sinking of the Majestic follows !
closely the destroying of the British j
battleship Triumph on Wednesday, and
| is the fifth British battleship sunk in |
! the Dardanelles by torpedo or mine j
since March 19, when the Irresistible
and Ocean were sunk by mines. The
Goliath were torpedoed on May 13 and |
500 of the crew reported lost. The j
French battleship Bouvot was sunk by i
a mine, with 557 of her crew, on March i
,19.
Corporal O'Leary Killed in Battle
London, May 28.—A report from
Dublin says that Lance Corporal
Michael O'Leary, of the Irish Guards,
one of the best-known of the winners
of the Victoria Cross in this war, was
killed in the last battle on the western
front. Corporal O'Leary was given the
Victoria Cross for conspicuous bravery
at Cuinchy February 1.
