BASEBALL men MAY RESIGN
Rumored That Two Harrisburg Direc-
tors Will Quit-No Meeting
Yesterday

Not only in the management of the
Harrisburg club in the Tri-State League
will there be a change but it is rumor
ed that two of the directors of the
Pennsylvania Exhibition Company,
owners of the Harrisburg franchise,
will resign at meeting to be held
some afternoon next week.
A meeting of the board of directors
was scheduled for yesterday afternoon
but quorum was not present and moth
ing was done. The recent gossip about
the local team is but an unconfrmed
.rumor and nothing definitely will be
known until after the directors meet.
How Cocklin's loss as manager and
now the coming resignation of two of
the directors back of the team will af-
feet baseball here, of course, can only
be speculated upon.
The directors will prepare for the
coming annual meeting of the league
which will be held in the near future
in Philadelphia. President George NJ.
Graham has not yet announced the date
for the meeting. Club representatives
will 60 to the meeting prepared to take
stand on the size of the league cir
cult and salary limit. There has been
some discussion about lower. limit for
the league, but this proposition has
few supporters. William S. Tunis will
likely represent the Harrisburg club.

Harrisburg Man Gives Convincing
Word-picture of Terrible Suffering
of Fighting Men as 1t Must Be To-
day-Collections Start Monday

Ragged and unkempt with open
wounds from the bayonets or bullets
of the foe in the freezing winds of the
north, $4,000 soldiers stood at atten-
tion on the sodden, half frozen grounds
on the outskirts of Rouen, France. Some
wore parts of shoes, others had wrap
ped their feet in rags. None had uni
forms of sufficient weight of material
to keep them warm. Their faces were
emaciated and wan. For three months
they had been existing, mainly on un-
cooked foods which they had dug from
the ground as they hurried along in
an endless series of battles. There was
no grade to condition of hunger or
want. Officers and men were in the
same plight.
Along those Scared ranks, between
files, came oxen and horse-drawn cars,
Officers, without regard to rank, dealt
out warm clothing, underwear and coats
and trousers, along with shoes and
warm knitted scarfs and socks. AS
the carts went on the ranks broke and
wavered, as the soldiers began clothing
themselves against the biting wind.
And as they did it, their eyes streamed
tears of joy. Some knelt in prayer.
Others cheered. Sterned-f faced officers
and privates who had laughed as bull
let's and shells tore their ways through
bodies of their comrades, wept openly
and unashamed.
The reason for this unusual demon.
stration was that relief had come TO the
starving, suffering soldiers of war torn
Europe. And this relief had come from
America.
Experiences of Harrisburg Man
That scene was ENACTED more than
forty years ago in the German armies
invading France during the Franco
Prussian war. At least one of Har-
risburg's citizens took part in it-stood
in those suffering ranks and received
his portion of the life-saving supplies
and, with thousands of others of his
comrades, knelt in prayer of thankful
ness to the generous American people,
whose kindly charity had saved them
suffering-even life.
A few days ago that veteran told
the story to some of the men and WON.

The Germans have halted the French
advance designed to cut communica-

Metz, in Lorrain, and isolate the Ger
