Captain Harrell Believes
War Will Be Fought
Out in Open Fields

The announcement was made at
the Regular Army recruiting station
here this morning that enlistments
may now be made in the cavalry SER
vice.
This will be good news to many
young men," said Captain Harrell
to-day. During the past three
months, during which time the cav
airy was closed, hundreds of per-
sons applied for enlistment in this
popular branch.
"The balance of the war in Eu-
rope is not going to be fought in the
trenches" continued Captain Har-
rell. Just wait until our boys get
in action-there will be something
doing then"
Captain Harrell is of the opinion
that the cavalry is to play promi-
nent part in the war, particularly
during the latter part of the CONFLICT
when he believes the fighting will
take place in the open.

PREPARING FOR
DEPARTURE OF
FIRST QUOTAS
Boards Here Practically in
Shape For Mobilization;
Names of Those Who Go

The draft boards of Dauphin county
and the appeal board of the Middle
Judicial District are putting the fin
ishing touches to their work previous
to the departure of the first conting-
ent from this district on Wednesday
and Thursday of next week.
The boards of Divisions /. and 8.
with headquarters at Steelton. Pax
tang and Elizabethville respectively.
have nearly completed the list of the
exact number of men that will go.
Steelton has lat men certified and
will send practically all. Paxtang
has ninety-five certified and it is GER
tain that all these will take the train
that leaves Harrisburg on Thursday
morning at IL o'clock. The Eliza
bethville board is still shy ten men,
but when it receives it's certifcations
from the appeal board more than the
required number will be on hand.
OF the three boards. Steelton at
present is in the best shape in the
matter of furnishing men. This board
has 247 men certified for military
service. Each of these men has re-
ceived a pink Slip and a green one.
The colored men of this group viii
be entered into service formally on
Tuesday, when they will report with
the others at headquarters. However.
they will not leave with the first con-
tingent but will be held in readiness
to leave on short notice.
Extra Call Goes Out
The Steelton board has issued or
ders to report for examination on
September Is to those whose numbers
run from 918 to 1000, inclusive. When
these have been examined it Is ex-
pected that the entire quota of 255
fgom this district will be obtained.
The Paxtang board will resume ex-
aminations on Monday and will fin
ish up the remainder of the 300 men
who were summoned on the fourth
call. The remainder of the week will
be spent in doing routine office work.
This board was occupied to-day in
making out the new shaped registra-
tion cards and also the medical slips
that will be sent to the camps with
the men.
Boards to Visit Camp
The Paxtang and Steelton boards
will journey to Camp Meade next
week in order to ascertain at first
hand the results of the medical ex-
animation by the army medical men
of the fellows sent from the two dis
tricts. The result of this trip will be
awaited in the county with interest.
Much depends upon the result. Just
about enough men to cover the re-
quired forty-five per cent. have been
certified and a wholesale rejection by
the army doctors will mean that hun
dreds of men from Dauphin county
who so far have escaped the draft
will be called for examination. AS
1t is, 1t is certain that the Paxtang
board will call at least three hum

that German ruthlessness has broken

few will say these things aloud. and
none will be so rash as thus publicly

If a goodly portion of American

veins of those stolid Germans, to-
gether with little real news of what

dent that Germany would shake off
the thrall of war and the worlds op-
probrium. But the people cannot
learn the truth. Any newspaper
which dares to print it is suppressed,
suspended and, perhaps, annihilated.
German militarism always has made
the life of the people of Germany and
of visitors within her gates a burden.
But since the war one is afraid to
step outside ones door for fear one
will stumble upon something "ver-
boten."

Chauffeur Deserts Auto
And Then Forgets Place

After searching several hours this
morning, employees of the Harrisburg
Automobile Company succeeded in
recovering limousine which during
last night had been abandoned near
the Market street subway by it's
chauffeur.
The car had an Indiana license tag
and had been left at the Harrisburg
Automobile Company garage yester-
day. Early last evening the chauffeur
called at the garage and took the
car away. When he returned this
morning he was unable to tell where
he had abandoned the machine. The
automobile arrived in the city yes
terday and is owned by an invalid
woman who is visiting on Green
street. The names of the owner and
chauffeur were not known by the
company officials as they were
registered only as Indiana tourists.

doctrine at time Of national peril. There
never was any excuse for the HE kept US
out of war" slogan except that campaign
expediency dictated its utterance by the
Democrats. That damnably treacherous
slogan was manufactured in bad faith and
the votes it won were secured by false pre-
tense.
The Republican party, today, is not cry
ing for peace; the Republican party is
committed to fighting this war out to
successful conclusion. The Republican
partv's attitude toward the defense of ma
tionaI honor has been and is consistent.
The Republican party has neither bred nor
adopted paci6sts. The Republican brand
of patriotism had its birth in 1860, when
the party came into power on platform
which rang for war. There was no decep-
ton about the election of Lincoln. The
men who voted for him knew it meant
war. The temper of the Republican party
has not changed one whit since 1860.
The followers of the great party which
was born to save the union in 1860, and
which has consistently taught patriotism,
have right to claim freedom from any
blame in the present anti-war crusade. In
stead, the Republican party charges, as
Senator Watson says, that the 1917 crop
of paciysts was planted in 1916 by the
Democratic campaign managers. Shall

germs of peace, be surprised to find crop

he would be shining lightin Democracy's
circus, an able aid to Vance Thompson.
