ITALIANS ARE
ENTERING ARMY
Outnumber Natives of This
Country; Truck Company
Is Filling Up

Army recruiting was unusually
light yesterday in the Harrisburg dis
trict and over the entire state. Ital-
ians have recently been one of the
chief foreign nationalities to enlist
in this district and lately have been
far outnumbering the American
born men who enlist. Premo Bri-
helli. 1911 North Seventh street, and
street. both born in Italy, enlisted
yesterday.
Lieutenant Wheeler, who has
charge of the recruiting of the mo-
tor truck unit now being formed
this morning said he was anxious to
fill the company by this evening, if
possible. He has been taking only
the highest grade men who have
applied because none but experienced,
rugged men are needed for so i'm
portant a unit as the motor trucks,
which the army depends upon for
supplies.
Not only perfect physical health,
but a knowledge of the mechanism
of the machines is necessary to
qualify for entrance to the unit. The
standard of men who have applied
has been exceptionally high and
only a small percentage has been re-
jected
Those who have enlisted to date
are: ]. Spencer Ross. Thomas f.

MAYOR FAVORS
ANNEXATION
City Commissioners Will
Meet Committee From West
Shore Boroughs

City commissioners. while they have
not been officially notified of the an
nexation plan started by the West
Shore Firemen's Union on Tuesday
night. are willing to meet a commit
tee from the 'cross-river towns to dis
cuss the question, they said to-day.
Mayor Miller strongly favored the
move which has been started BY the
union and declared that he was sure
the city would make no mistake in
annexing Enola. New Cumberland,
West Fairview, Wormleysburg. Le-
moyne and Camp Hill Need of spe-
cial legislation giving the city power
to take over territory in another
county was pointed out by City So
licitor John f. Fox, and speedy action
is urged If results are to be accom-
plished before the Legislature ad-
journs.
While City Commissioners Lynch
and Gorgas did not express opinions
on the annexation of the territory,
both declared to-day they would be
willing tp meet with representatives
from the West Shore to go over the
entire plan.
The greatest need for the cross river
towns is an adequate sewer system,
Whlch can only De bullt at large ex-
pense, City Commissioner declared.
The other improvements were consld-
cred, however, by the city officials.
who are waiting now for definite ac-
tion on the move.
The talk of taking over the West
Shore territory revived the Riverside
and Pleasant View anneXations which
have frequently been brought to the
attention of Council. The Riverside
plan came to a standstill months ago
when the commissioners could not
agree with representatives of the sub
urb on the amounts which should be
allowed for the sewage system now
in use there. 1t is probable that an
other effort may be made soon for a
renewal of the conferences.
