so bruised and hurt that he cried

not understand word Of English
and was talking to said agent
through an interpreter and did not
appreciate the fact that the agent
was angry, and did not know that
said agent had a quick temper and
easily angered, and did not expect
that said agent would lay violent
hand upon HIM, as helpless as he
was; that he Was taken wholly un-

resistance or any defense if he
wanted to, for he was too weak

GEN. PERSHTNG'S
ABILITY IS PLAIN
TO ALLIED HEADS
Breadth and Soundness of
Preparations Are Warmly
Praised by Associates

Washington. Dec. 21.--Direct as
and French commanders in General
Pershing's ability and their satisfac-
ton with the breadth and soundness
of his preparations to make Ameri-
can arms effective on the western
front, have reached Washington with
the return from Europe of Major
General Hugh L. Scott, former chief
of-staff, who was in conference to-
day with Secretary Baker and other
War Department officials.
The men VINO are actually leading
the allied armies, from the COM
manders-in-ch chief and members of
the war ministries, down to the corps
and division commanders, have been
unhesitating in expressing their ap-
proval of the chief of the American
eXpeditionary force and his methods.
General Scott visited virtually every
part of the battlefront and went care
fully through all the training pro-
cesses of both the French and Brit
iSh armies. He believes General
Pershing has laid the foundations for
American Army training upon what
is best in French and British meth
DDS and experience. There is no
doubt in his mind that American
troops will be the equal of any on
the front when they come to grips
with the German army. They are
taking their training enthusiastically.
There is no pessimism as to the
outcome of the war in the fighting
lines, General Scott found. The
armies of the allies are cool and con-
fident. The confidence of victory
among the fighting men, he found,
became greater the closer the OBJ
server got to the front

Amusement Association
Gives Vaudeville Show

The South Harrisburg Amusement
Association, at its headquarters in
Ract street cut loose last night with
a grand frolic which included a
vaudeville program worthy of gem
uine theater. None but members were
in the cast. Following this came an
elaborate luncheon, which was rel
ished just as much. Instead of a
formal mummer's parade this year
the clubmembers will likely appear
on New Years Eve in a novel comic
presentation in keeping with the sea-
son. The following officers were
elected: President, Richard Chellen;
ce-president, James T. Walters;

Harry Bell; business manager, Ralph

Shippers Asked to Relieve
Freight Congestion by
Releasing Cars Quickly

Means for relieving freight con-
gestion were discussed here yester-
day at a meeting of the special COM
mittee recently appointed as a sub
division of the National Defense
Committee. Railways and shippers
were represented at the session at
which were made plans for future
cooperation during the period of the
war.
Among those present at the first
meeting of the committee at the En-
gineers' Club yesterday were ". L..
Shafer, of the Lebanon Chamber of
Commerce; c. M. Taylor, represent
ing the L. c. Blair Company, at
huntingdon; George II. Hayes, rep
resenting the Carlisle Light, Heat
and Power Company, and Mr..
Brown, representing the Manufac-
turers' Association of Lancaster. Mr..
Brown was chosen chairman.
Results of the meeting yesterday
will be in the efforts of the receiv-
ers and shippers throughout the
Harrisburg railway district to re-
lieVe the congestion of freight and
the shortage of cars. by loading and
unloading freight quickly, and load
ing all cars to capacity. The Sec
retary of the organization will be
authorized to issue letters to all bust
ness interests in the district, urging
them to cooperate with the roads in
relieving the car shortage, and lift
ing the embargoes. Receivers of
freight will be reminded that ii is
at the destination that the freight
usually piles up, and the care are
inactive, causing the dreaded embar-
goes. Receivers will be urged TO un-
load propmtly, even at inconvenience
or added expense to themselves.
Shippers will be urged to ship their
commodities in carload lots, in oI-
der to get the full value of the cars
they use.
Railroad authorities urge that they
receive cooperation in their efforts
to relieve the car shortage. They
have said that the times are unusual,
and shippers and receiveds must CO.
operate if freight is not to be COM
pletely tied UP.

mention should be made, considering
the short time they were given to
do the work
Quite some time ago the work
mad been given to some one with the
understanding committees should be
arranged and the work outlined for
the drive. For some unknown reason,
this seems to have been neglected; !;
then, at almost the eleventh hour,
Or. John A. Sherger who is a very
busy physician, was asked to take
the captaincy, which he said he
would do without any hesitancy. In
a very short time he had his COM
mittee, both ladies and gentlemen,
busy. They found that the people
were very responsive and showed a
splendid spirit of cooperation,
which has been proven by the
amount given, namely, S175. More
has been promised which will be
turned in at an early date.
Il suggest that some printed mat
ter be distributed in many districts
explaining explicitly and plainly what
the Red Cross work actually means;
both hearts and pocketbooks could
be reached even more readily for
future work.
The workers of this committee
were: Mrs. Edward Wallower, Mrs.
Emma Brinser, Mrs. o. C. Bing, Mrs.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence

to Take a Cent of Anyone's Money
Unless Allenrhu Completely Ban
ishes All Rheumatic Pains and
Twinges.
Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years or
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C
cumulated impurities. commonly call
ed uric acid deposits. were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and expell-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with hat might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
fernrs everywhere know about mis-
discovery through the newspapers.
Geo. A. Gorgas has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that he will
