ARREST SOLDIERS
FOR DRINKING
Two Are Taken Into Custody
With Man Who Is Said to
Have Furnished Booze

A young soldier of Company A.
Eighth Regiment. stationed at York.
was brought to police headquarters

and corporal of the Regular Army,
who saw the Guardsman so drunk
that he could scarcely walk. The SOL

placed in Jail gave his name as Clar-
ence Cameron.
Cameron was very drunk, and after
he was placed in n cell in the police
station he decided that khaki was
not a becoming color and donned a
white calico dress with large fowers.
In his travels in Harrisburg he had
picked up the garment and had 1t
secreted somewhere about his person
when he was picked up in Walnut
street He claimed that a woman
whom he had pleasantly visited in
Cameron street made him u present
OF the garment.
During the progress of police court
the young man proce eded to tell, from
the cot on which he peacefully re-
posed in his cell. the details of his
visit.

FIGHT DISEASE
AT CAMP MEADE
No Chance For Epidemic to
Break Out Among
Draft Men

Camp Meade. Admiral. Md. Sept. Z.
The Regular Army men who are to
form the nucleus of the Seventy ninth
Division. to train here, have started
to arrive at the camp. Between seven
hundred and eight hundred are ex-
pected and these will be assigned to
the more important noncommissioned
jobs, such as reglmental and battalion
sergeant majors. supply sergeants ana
first sergeants.
They will be the backbone on which
the division will be formed and will
serve the purpose of steadying the
whole outfit According to Colonel
Ross. chief of stan, however. they
are only drop in the bucket COM
pared with the number of noncommis-
stoned officers needed. The great bulk
of the noncommissioned will come
from among the drafted men them
selves.
The men who were dismissed from
Fort Niagara and who have enlisted
and come here recommended for nom
commissioned positions number less
than a score. At the present time
these men have been temporarily at
tached to the headquarters staff and
are acting as orderlies and despatch
riders. All the men who could drive
automobiles or motorcycles We're
called upon to act in those capacities.
Prcpnri Ing For the New Men
Major General Joseph 4. Kuhn, the
commanding officer. expects to be able
to care for the full forty-five per cent.
of the drafted men when they arrive
September 10.
A bath will be the first thing given
to the new men who will arrive from
Pennsylvania, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia within two weeks.
After the bath the next thing will be
a trip to the doctor. Each man will
be thoroughly examined for any trace
of contagious disease and no chances
will be taken of having an epidemic
in camp. These men will also be
given at the hospital the first taste
of typhoid phophylaXis. which will
guard them against that disease, and
II not recently vaccinated they must
go through that ordeal also.
Temporary Organization
After the bath and the hospital in
spection of the men on their arrival
the next thing will be assigning them
to barracks. Medical examination
and quartering will probably take
most of the first day. Next day steps
at temporary organization will be
gotten under way.
The men will be aligned in double
| rank according to height and from
| each eight men a corporal will be
| chosen. The officer who will select
! these temporary officers will largely
depend upon the personal appearance
# the new soldier as his guide. The
man who can stand at attention" and
who can say "Sir" clearly will stand
a better chance than one who lounges
or mumbles.
OF course these selections will be
only temporary. The quality of lead.
| ership is all that is wanted and any
one who has it stands a good chance
| for advancement Every one with the
least ability will be given chance
1t will certainly pay to try in the new
| army.

New Display Windows
at H. Marks & Son Store

Among the newest improvements
noticeable in Market street is the
new store front of H. Marks & Son,
at the corner of Fourth street. This
front has a design different from the
usual. Gray tile construction from
the walk to the window sill and the
interior of display windows. finished
in gray columns, with gray velvet
draped in panel effect to give pleas
ing harmony. The windows on each
side of the door are set back from
the building line and partitioned off
so that either one may be dressed
with a display of hats or mems fur
nishing without interfering with the
mai ndisplays displayed in the larger
windows used for showing the cloth
ing modes.

a half century and the Hart-Schaff-

sented at this corner for the greater
part of this time. Society Brand
Clothes is also a leading line sold by

early conference of representative
national and international officers or
American trade unions to agree to
the proposals was taken under con-
sideration.

Applied to hours, the standard
shall be those established by statute
or prevailing in the establishment
at the beginning of the war, subject
to change only when in the opinion
of the Council of Defense 1t is neces-

Many owners of machines have
