The Corps of Engineers are the
skilled workmen of the army. They
lay out permanent camps and en-
trenchments; build and repair mill
tary roads, railroads and bridges;
dig saps and mines under the
enemy's trenches; and take care of
other work which requires technical
skill of this character.
Theoretically the Engineer Corps
is not one of the fighting arms; but
in practice they are often called upon
to hight and do perform dangerous
duties. They may build bridges or
dig entrenchments, for example, un-
der the enemy's fire. In modern war
fare the engineers play a highly i'm
portant-and often an heroic-part.
The Signal Corps is the message
bearer OF the army. 1t carries in-
formation and orders from one head
quarters to another. 1t is to-day as
essential to the conduct of a great
army as the telephone is to the con-
duct of great business.
The Signal Corps
AT one time the Signal Corps
transmitted messages chiefly through
the use of flags, lanterns, photographs
(mirrors SO arranged as to reflect
and flash rays of light. and the like.
Then came period during which
1t was chiefly concerned with lay
ing down and operating telegraph
and telephone lines; and this is still
one of its most important duties.
However, the wireless is becoming
more and more important, even on
the battlefield.
A first-class signalman is expert
with all these various methods. He
Is also good horseman, since he
must be able to move about rapidly.
His duties may frequently carry him
into the battle line and into other
dangerous positions, and he must
know how to defend himself; his
chief weapon Is the pistol. There is
no branch of the service in which
mans intelligence, initiative and
technical skill count for more
The Signal Corps of the American
Army includes the aviation section,
which has grown to be of such
vital importance. The best-known
types of air planes are the scout
ing machine which goes out to get
information by flying over the
enemy's lines; the bombing machine.
/ which goes out to do as much dam
ages as possible to the enemy's mill
tary works; and the swift fighting
machine, which attacks enemy air
planes and protects the slower scout
ing and bombing machines. The
work is dangerous, but partly for
this reason Is especially attractive
to men of high intelligence and dar-
Ing.

Wilson Sends His Best
Wishes to Sufragists
Hopes They Get Ballot

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 30.-A letter
from President Wilson and a tele-
gram from James w. Gerard, former
Ambassador to Germany. endorsing
the fight of New York State woman
suffragists to obtain the enfranchise-
ment of women through a constitu-
tional amendment at the State cleo
tions in November, were read to-day
before the New York state Woman
Suffrage party, in conference here,
by Mrs. Norman Der. Whitehouse,
the chairman. President Wilson's
letter follows:
"I learn with sincere pleasure
of your impression of a growing sem
timent in the State of New York in
favor of woman suffrage and 1 shall
look forward with the greatest in
terest to the results of the State con-
ference which you are planning to
hold in Saratoga. May l not express
the hope that that conference will
lead to a very widespread interest
in your campaign and that your eff
forts will be crowned with the most
substantial and satisfactory success?
"I hope that the voters of the
State of New York will rally to the
support of woman suffrage by
handsome majority. 1t would be
splendid vindication of the principle
of the cause in which we all be-
lieve."
Mr.. Gerard in his telegram said
the great number of women employ
ed in manufacturing trades and COM
merce have right to vote on mat
ters which now affect them as vitality
as men and that "the war will add
to their number" The quiet, dig
nified woman" should not be de-
prfyed of a riPht to vote "because of
the misbehavior of reckless minor
ity' of militant suffragettes, Mr..
Gerard declared. He said that the
proportion of hot heads among
women is not greater than among
man.

CONDITION OF
BAYER SERIOUS

The condition OF Ira z. Bayer, who
attempted to end his life at the Dau-
phin Hotel. Tuesday morning. is con-
sidered serious. Bayer was taken to
the Harrisburg Hospital when found
in his room. lying in a pool of blood,
after having slashed his wrists and
stabbed himself in the side with a
pocketknife. Hospital authorities be-
lieve that unless complications set in,
Bayer should recover. but his condi-
tion is admitted to be serious.
Mrs. Bayer arrived in this city from
Baltimore. and was permitted to visit
her husband yesterday. Her first
knowledge of Bayers attempted sui
eide was gained through Baltimore
newspapers.
Wife Visits Him
The wife has been stopping at the
Dauphin Hotel, when in town. To-
day she is visiting relatives at Me-
chanicsburg. The little woman earn
estly insisted that her husband could
after his attempt to end his life, the
travelling salesman asserted that the
authorities were after him. Shortly
after he had been removed to the hos
Hotel, claiming that he had a warrant
for the salesman's arrest. The detec-
tive disappeared when he learned of
Bayer's condition. and the police have
been unable to get in touch with him.
He did not state that Bayer was the
man he was seeking, but he compared
the writing of a letter in his possess
sion with the signature of Bayer on
writing to be identical. The sales
man who ran away with another
mans wife from Greensburg, gave his
name as Lewis, and failed to give his
ylaava tn fhaf N1 fNT pAIt
there assert that Lewis was not the
mans real name.

ENLSTMENTS
PASS 1000 MARK
State Offering Many Soldiers;
Company D Getting
Impatient

According to officers in charge of
the Army Recruiting headquarters
in this city, Pennsylvania enlist
ments for the month of August will
pass the one thousand mark. Twelve
hundred enlistments has been set as
the goal, and it is possible that this
number will be reached.
When it is remembered that the
various boards have called out q
million and a half men, none, of
home can be accepted by the re-
cruiting officers, something of the
work being done by the recruiting
stations may be understood. Penn
sylvania leads all states in recruit
ing and is 700. enlistments ahead of
New York.
Await Action
Thousands of young men are
waiting until the exemption boards
in the various districts announce q
decision in industrial cases, before
enlisting. Many expect to be ex-
empted upon industrial grounds. and
1t Is likely that there will be a great

exempting men employed in NUM-

Midletown, enlisted in the Infantry
and was sent to Gettysburg.
No Movements This Week
Word comes from Philadelphia
that Brigadier General Price doe.
not expect any further movement Of
Pennsylvania troops to the Soutt
before the first of next week. There
has been a gradual movement o.
several units during the present
week, but the remaining troops mus
wait in their armories and temporar,
camps.

Company I and other soldiers wait
ing for their orders are getting i'm
aptient of the delay. They. are not
tickled over service in the Armory
and at the Island which involves
restaurant meals.
Complain of Food
There is considerable complaint
that the food is not what they have
a right to expect. 1t appears that
the real difficulty in the movement
of troops is the shortage of cars on
the railroads. AS thousands of men
will be enroute to the various camps
during the next week or ten days
the railroad problem is a big one.
Ready for Festival
Great interest is manifested in the
festival which will be given by the
men on the Island, next Tuesday
evening. All arrangements are be-
ing completed to make this affair a
big success. Thirty Red Cross
nurses have consented to serve the
visitors at the tables, and a special
concert will be given by the Eighth
Regiment Band.
AS 1t Is expected that orders will
be received soon for the men to leave
for the southern training camp, 1t Is
possible that Tuesday evenings af-
fair will be the last of it's kind. The
festival will be held at the lower
end of largest Island. Electric
lights will imPart to the grounds q
noon-day appearance, and plenty OF
tables and seats will be provided.
The proceeds from the evenings
entertainment will go into the mess
fund of the various units represented
at the Island. Company ID, which
has already gone to Fort Hancock
will receive a share. together with
Company l, the Machine Gun Com.
pany and the Supply Company.
Ice cream and cake will be served
Tickets are to cost 20 cents each.
Find Water Wet
The tmembers of the Machine Cur
Company who live at the lower enc
of the company street on the Island
spent q rather uncomfortable night
because the rain caused that par
of the island to be covered with
layer of what the boys termed, very
wet water" This morning the com
| pany was caught in a rain storm
while drilling, and before they haC
finished tthe work that had beef
planned for them they were rathe
more than damp.

duced me to become a candidate for
Commissioner of Agriculture and any
assistance you may give me shall ap-
preciate very much.
Yours respectfully,
