KNITTING Bags.

To knit or not to knit is not the
question. Everybody is doing 1t, and
even if ones patriotic sentiment is not
strong enough to make one wrestle
with the preliminaries of managing q
pair of knitting needles, or more
likely four Of the weapons, the new
knitting bags are so attractive thai
lust to have an excuse for carrying
one would make any woman want to
try her hand at making a sock or a
wristlet.
Some Of the local shops VI showing
these big roomy bags in the gayests> of
cretonnes, with all kinds of big bold
figures in conventional design, flowers
and even birds. They are roomy
enough to carry not only ones yarn
and knitting imp1ements,,5bu but are con
venient for carrying parcels when
shopping, and there Is almost space
enough to carry week end ward
robe. One or two of the shops have
a particularly choice line of these,
and from the number of women to be
seen jaunting around the streets with
the bags over their rms they are
proving good sellers.

Lucas is working. The Red Cross will
endeavor to decrease the present high

>populate the country.
While h plans of the unit are mo-

1t is the plan of Captain Harrell to
have every town visited by his men
at least twice a week. He has al
ready requested the War Department,
at Washington, to send more men to
assist in the work and fifty more can
be used at once.
The Harrisburg district is COM
prised of the following counties: In
diana, Cambria, Somerset, Blair. Bed
Miffiin, Perry, Franklin, Cumberland,
Adams, York, Dauphin, Schuylkill,
Lebanon, Lancaster, Berks and Le-
high. Recruiting offices are station
ed at the following places and the
various counties are covered by these
offices: Dauphin, Adams, Cumberland,
Juniata, Perry and Miffiin, by Harris
burg; Indiana, Cambria and Somer-
set, by Johnstown; Blair, Bedford and
Huntingdon, by Altoona; Fulton and
Franklin, by Chambersburg; York, by

Recruits Throng Office
The local Office in the Bergner
building was thronged this morning
and at least forty men will be sent to
Fort Slocum to-day, making a total
from this district of more than 150
during the past week. Captain Har-
rell stated this morning that this was
a good number, but more are needed
He said: Here we are with wal
declared and recruits not coming in
any faster than before; something
seems to be the matter for the people
do not realize what this means. We
need more men and we are going to
use every possible means to get them. -
Quartermaster w. E. Quirk, of the
navy recruiting office, sent ten recruits
out from the local office during the
week, but he stated this morning that
this was a poor showing for a city the
size of Harrisburg. Uncle Sam can't
carry on this war without men and
it is soon time that Harrisburg wakes
up to the fact that she will be re-
quired to furnish a large number OF
these men," We will have to have
more men from Harrisburg for the
navy and If they do not volunteer we
will be authorized to use other means
of securing them, said Quartermaster
Quirk.

RAILWAY
BRIDGE GUARD IS
WOUNDED BY SPY
Troopers Ordered to Shoot to
Kill Trespassers Refus-
ing to Halt

Reading, April 7.-Private John Nc
Namara, of Philadelphia, guarding the
west end of the Reading Railways
Lebanon Valley bridge here, was shot
in the right arm by an unknown man,
supposed to be German plotter, who
laid in wait behind a boulder last
night. The bullet passed through his
arm and his condition is not seri-
Gus.
The shooting occurred when Nc
Namara was returning from search
around the end of the bridge hur-
ried search of the ground by the en-
tire battalion stationed at the bridge
failed to show any traces of the man
though the wounded sentry had shot
three times at him as he disappeared
in the darkness. Further excitement
was added to the already tense situa-
tion when guard on the eastern end
of the bridge fired at a man who failed
to respond to a challenge.
As a result of the shooting Captain
Risler doubled the guards on the
bridge and has issued a warning to all
citizens that trespassing in and around
the bridge will be at the peril of the
individual who does it, Guardsmen
have been ordered to shoot to kill if
the person challenged fails to answer
the first call to halt.

The message was received at the
Navy Department at a. m. to-day
from Captain Roy Smith, governor of
Guam and commandant of the naval
station there. The destruction of the
Cormorant occurred at o'clock last
night, Washington time.
Had Much Trouble
Internment of the Cormorant at
Guam has been the cause of continual
conflict and disagreeable incidents be-
tween the American naval officers in
charge of the island and the German
crew.
On several occasions former Am
bassador Bernstorff appealed to the
State Department on behalf of the
Cormorant's officers and crew to. have
the vessel transferred to San Fran
cisco. Each time the Navy Depart
ment refused.
The Cormorant was chased into
Guam by Japanese warships soon
after the declaration of war between
Japan and Germany. The ship had
exhausted her fuel supply raiding
commerce and was compelled to burn
her woodwork structure to make
steam under which she reached that
port.
