These fifteen women will be assigned to keep the engine house clean and will wear the khaki "woman-alls." 156 MEN OF THE COUNTY OFF AT NOON FOR CAMP There was a silvery lining in the overhanging dark clouds for the Dauphin County boys, numbering 156, who entrained here at noon today for Camp Lee, Virginia. The majority of the selectives were a happy lot but there were some who couldn't restrain the tears, because they were surrounded by weeping relatives. The saddest scene of all, doubtless, was when a young man took leave of his wife, and four-months-old baby. He had married after June 5, 1917, and therefore could not make a dependency claim for a deferred classification. But the boys with dampened spirits did not influence or excite the rest of the smiling faced chaps. One selective held a dog on his lap as he was seated in the passenger coach and he had a lot of fun with the pet. He kept a crowd snickering just outside the window. He remarked: "I go to camp and the dog goes along. He's my mascot." Possibly two hundred persons, mostly relatives of the selectives, gathered in the Pennsy trainshed, below the station, after the men had entrained. An equally large crowd hung around the outside of the station until it began to rain at 12 o'clock and then those folks dispersed. The train was scheduled to leave at 11.50 o'clock but it was delayed about twenty minutes, waiting for a connection which brought in thirty Snyder County and sixty-nine Center County selectives. Captain Barclay's railroad patrolmen were on the job to prevent any one giving liquor to the selectives and these policemen were assisted by a dozen of the military police, detailed at the request of the Pennsy, by Lieutenant Colonel Nielson, of the Middletown Aviation Depot. Lieutenant E. E. Taylor, of the Aviation Depot, was in charge of the military police. 259 NAMES WERE PLACED ON THE LIST SATURDAY Seven more names were added today to the city's list of new draft registrants, bringing the total up to 135 as against 131 in the county outside of the city, and making an aggregate for the whole county of 266. The registrations today included four by City Board No. 1, one by Board No. 2 and two by Board No. 3. A total of 259 youths who became 21 years old since June 5 last, were registered for the draft in the city and county on Saturday, according to tabulations made today. The county districts registered three more men than were registered in the city, the county total being 131 as against 128 in Harrisburg. The Steelton Board of the first county district registered the highest number of men. That district's total was 59. The Elizabethville Board in the third county district registered thirty, the smallest number. The registration by district was as follows: City No. 1, 32; No. 2, 40; No. 3, 56; total, 128; County No. 1, 59; No. 2, 42; No. 3, 30; total, 131. All the half dozen draft boards have mailed reports of the registration to Washington and to State draft headquarters, and they also have mailed questionnaires to the registrants, which means that the boards are prepared and intend to do all the "speeding up" that is being urged by the War Department. Long Hours for Boards The boards remained in their headquarters until 9 o'clock Saturday evening to register the youths of the city and county and then during the next hour or two they made up their lists, filled out reports and put the whole business into the mails. Every draft board made a speed record for itself. The State draft headquarters received reports yesterday from all but three draft districts, showing that an aggregate of 13,161 had been registered on Saturday, including 11,028 white citizens, 1298 aliens and 835 colored men. A few more men were registered in the city and county today. Saturday being the Jewish Sunday, Hebrews were not required to register then, if they didn't want to, and boards were authorized to register them today. The registrants have been given numbers and all the boards are ready, practically, for the Washington lottery drawings which will determine the order in which the new registrants are to be called in the draft.

HOLLER'S RIGHT EYE IS REMOVED Arthur Holler, son of Deputy Prothonotary and Mrs. Henry F. Holler, of Hummelstown, had his right eye removed at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital this morning as the result of the injuries he sustained on August 17, due to a premature explosion of a depth bomb that was about to be dropped from a troop transport on which young Holler was pharmacist mate. The father wired Prothonotary Pass from the naval hospital this morning, saying: "Arthur's eye removed today; otherwise, he is in fair condition." Mr. and Mrs. Holler went to the Brooklyn Hospital yesterday. They had anticipated the necessity for the operation because the son hinted in a letter which they received on Saturday that his eye had been terribly hurt. Young Mr. Holler was attending Lafayette College when he enlisted several months ago as an assistant pharmacist's mate, and had completed just about half his college course. POISON-TAKER IMPROVES Mrs. Caroline Kluse, 808 East street, was discharged from the Harrisburg Hospital today in a much improved condition. Mrs. Kluse attempted to take her life on Saturday evening by swallowing a bottle of creoline poison. No reason was given for the act by Mrs. Kluse. Pays Tribute to Perry County Boy Who Fell Major Henry M. Stine, of the Harrisburg Reserves, who was captain of Company C, the Chambersburg company of the old Eighth Regiment before he was invalided home last Spring, said today that Richard M. Boyer, of Shermansdale, Perry County, who was reported in the newspapers this morning as having been killed in action on the western battle front in France, was a member of old Company C. The company has been doubled since Dr. Stine was in command. Boyer was the fifth boy of the original company, known to Dr. Stine to have been killed in action. The former captain paid a fine tribute to Boyer this morning. "Boyer was a splendid boy," he said, "he was a bookkeeper before he enlisted in my company in July, 1917. He was well liked by the other boys and he sometimes assisted the company clerk. I don't have a record of all of the casualties in my old company, because the company was doubled in size after I was relieved of the command and I have every reason to believe that old Company C has been in the thick of the fighting." Will Repair Juniata Bridge for $1932 The contract for repair work on the inter-county bridge over the Juniata River, at Clark's Ferry, was awarded by the Dauphin and Perry County authorities, meeting here this morning, to M. L. Grossman at his bid of $1932. Grossman bid $1287 for the concrete work and agreed to finish it in twenty-four days. He offered to put up the steel work in ten days at a cost of $645. Peter Lehman submitted the only other bid. He offered to do the concrete work for $1245 but did not bid for the steel construction. Former Judge J. W. Shull, of Perry County, who is that county's solicitor, and Charles Swartz, the chief clerk to the Perry County Commissioners, represented Perry at the meeting. Perry County will pay one-seventh of the cost and Dauphin County six-sevenths. Middletown Boy Is Wounded in Action James Weirick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weirick, of Brown street, Middletown, has been severely wounded in action, according to a telegram received by the parents on Saturday. The telegram contained no details other than that the wounded soldier is with the 4th U. S. Infantry. Weirick enlisted in April, 1917, with the old 8th Regiment National Guard, and was attached to the regimental band. Before he enlisted he was a member of the Liberty Band of Middletown.

Dr. Robert Bagnell, pastor of the Grace Methodist Church, who is now working among the boys in the camps across the seas, he having gone on a special mission in France, has written a second letter to his congregation, which was read in the church at yesterday's services. The complete text is as follows: "Somewhere in France," August 1, 1918. Dear Grace Friends: - I am now closing my third week in the lecture tour through the American camps. I have seen many thousands of our American boys and have talked to many great crowds of them. Have also had the privilege of talking personally with hundreds of them. They are splendid, clean-cut, full of life and what the boys call "ginger and pep" and are making a great impression upon the French people. Of course, we are all proud of what they are doing at the Front, but it is just what we expect. Our boys are subject to a great deal more temptation here than in the camps at home, though not any more than in civil life. Some of them drink, but I am sure a smaller per cent than in civil life, and out of the many thousands I have seen but four or five have been under the influence of liquor. I am sure, too, that the standard of morality is above that of the same men in civil life. Capt. William Calder is in this camp and I had a fine visit with him today. What a fine, clean, splendid chap he is! I have had word from several other boys from Harrisburg and are from the church. I hope to see them before I leave France. I have traveled about twelve to fourteen hundred miles in France. The country is beautiful beyond description. The harvest is very good and is now ripe. The old men, boys and women are all working in the fields and everywhere is found the evidence of thrift. There are few fences here and individual ownership is often confined to a strip of land 50 or 100 feet wide by 50 to 200 yards long. These strips will be sown or planted with different grains or vegetables and the effect is very artistic. I travel a great deal from point to point in automobiles of various kinds, and so have good chance to see the country. I am to leave this place where I am now located next Monday, to go to another important center for a week and then back to Paris on August 12. From there I go over to Britain for a couple of weeks speaking tour of the allied camps before my return. I am located now in one of the most beautiful spots in France. Am living altogether with the troops, and I assure you I have much the best meals I have since I left home. I am always thinking of you and praying for you. It will be a glad day when I am able to occupy my own pulpit again. And I trust I may return much better fitted to serve the great cause of the Nation and to render you a better service than before. It is such a comfort to me to know that you are thinking of me and praying for me. I am sure you, like me, are praying constantly for our boys. I am sure much of the superb quality they possess is the result of the prayers at home. This will probably be read to you on either the 18th or 25th of August. It will not be long from that time until - God willing - I shall be with you. Until then, God bless and keep you all. Sincerely yours, ROBERT BAGNELL Marietta News Notes; Yanks Arrive Overseas MARIETTA, Aug. 26. - Relatives of Roy Erisman have received word of his arrival overseas.

Bewildered Man Killed by Valley Railways Car William King, 40 years old, of Pittsburgh, is the name of the man struck and killed by a Valley Railways trolley car at New Cumberland, late Saturday afternoon. The body was identified by friends here and is now being held by Undertaker Mauk awaiting more information from Pittsburgh. King had asked several residents of New Cumberland the direction to the Government plant at Marsh Run. After being directed, it is said, that he became bewildered and in crossing the street, he stepped in front of the eastbound car and the motorman didn't have time to stop. It was necessary to raise the car from the tracks to remove the body. The victim's neck was broken, his right arm cut off, skull fractured and his face terribly lacerated. He died at the Harrisburg Hospital a few minutes after being admitted. "Eddie" Missed Car and It Cost $12.90 Edwin Rockefeller, 224 North Second street, a student of Central High School, left his position as one of the directors at Camp Boyd, Losh Run, last Wednesday and went to work on Thursday as a roofer at the Government operations at Marsh Run. On Saturday "Eddie" drew his first envelope containing $13.50 for three days' work. When he had completed his day he left with the other workers to board a Valley Railways car back to this city. A crowd was waiting for the car and Rockefeller was accompanied by a friend. When the cars arrived the friend turned to tell "Eddie" to be sure and not crawl in the window of the car as the new ruling proclaims such action as illegal. The sight that he beheld when he turned was that of "Eddie" being hawled out of the car window with the seat of his trousers in the fist of a State Policeman. "Eddie" was taken before the Justice of the Peace and fined $10 and costs, which altogether totaled up to the sum of $12.90. Rather disappointed, "Eddie" took the next car home with sixty cents left out of his first three days' pay. PERSONAL In sad but loving remembrance of my dear father, Theopilus Baker, who departed this life one year ago today, August 26, 1917. Gone but not forgotten. His daughter, MRS. EDWARD SMUCKER.
