VIGHANTES WAR NOTES

In his book, entitled "Militarism, a."
Karl Liebknecht says some things
which Americans should continu-
ously keep in mind:
I'VE Germans in Prussia have
three cardinal rights: the right to
be soldiers, to pay taxes, to keep our
tongues between our teeth.
Poverty and misery, need and
starvation. are ruling in Germany.
Belgium. Poland and Serbia. whose
blood the vampire of Imperialism is
sucking. resemble vast cemeteries.
The entire world, the much-praised
European civilization is falling into
ruin through the anarchy which has
been let loose by the world war.
Those who profit from the war
desire war with America. To-mor-
row. perhaps, they may order us

Of our brothers, against our fellow
workers in America. Consider well

Kind of Literature
to Send the Soldiers

The boys in the trenches want
books and magazines to read. but
the trouble is folks don't know what
kind to send them, so Mrs. Mary
Roberts Rhinehart has come to their
rescue. Send all the good, live
stories you can find" the Pittsburgh
author writes. Every boy over
there, every man, has in his heart
either a woman or the dream of a
woman. Send clean stuff. Don't
send erotic sex novels-but these
things have a way of clearing them
selves up. Life is a real thing. So
is death. The soldier may not start
as an idealist, but inevitably he be-
comes one. Send him, then, stories
of good women. Send romance.
Let him, for a time. lose the mud
about him, and that life of an army
in the field which is always un-
beautiful. Send him to happy places.
Don't underestimate his intelligence.
This is a wonderful army we have
gathered together. Look through
your shelves or the book depart
ments of the shops and send the sort
of thing you would give a nice boy
for Christmas. Send humor-I oc-
casionally write humor myself"

At the
Majestic

Jack Pickford has long been stu
dent and friend of Mark Twain's fam
Jack Pickford ms "Tom Sawyer" and
Mark Twain's it is for this rea-
"TOm Sawyer son, as well as for
the fact that he
has become a famous portrayer of boy
N.Y." Seventeen" and others. that he
was chosen by the Paramount Com
pany for the character of Tom, in the
picture which will be shown at the
Regent Theater tomorrow and Satur-
day.
The fact that the exterior scenes
were taken at Hannibal. Mo-, the very
town in which Samuel Clemens. or
Mark Twain, as he iC better known,
wrote. adds to the effectiveness of the
production. The river scenes, where
Tom and the famous Huck Finn es-
cape on a raft, and return only in time
for their own funeral services, was
taken at the very spot Mark Twain
described so that could he see the
production, he would undoubtedly be-
lieve his hero was coming to life be-
fore his eyes.
Jack Pickford isn't so old that he
has forgotten the days when he lived
breathlessly through the pages of the
story, joying with the redoubtable
Tom in his adventures or sorrowing
with him in his misfortunes. The in
cident of the whitewashed fence,
which received three coats. and for
| it himself, received payment of un-
limited marbles. jewsharps. tadpoles
and other boys treasures. has long
! been a favorite of Mr.. Pickfords, and
it is faithfully portrayed in the screen
version.

GAS ATTACKS
Author of "Over the Top"
Will Give Vivid Descrip-
ton of Hun Warfare

When Sergeant Arthur Guy
Empey, author of "Over the Top"
appears in person at the Chestnut
Street Auditorium, tomorrow even
ing, he will give a vivid description
of the deadly German gas attacks,
with a demonstration of how the
British Tommy" and French
"Poilu" guard themselves against
the death dealing fumes. In this
demonstration Mr.. Empey will use
one of the famous gas helmets,
which we have read so much about,
but heretofore have never had the
opportunity to see. Mr.. Empey will
adjust the helmet in record time,
as he was often compelled to do
while fighting the Germans on the
western front. In speaking of the
method used by the Germans in re-
leasing the gas waves. Mr.. Empey
had the following to say: The Ger
mans generally use the gas just be-
fore an infantry attack, and when
a strong wind is blowing towards
the enemy trenches. The Germans
are often double-crossed by nature,
and pay dearly for their inhuman
methods, when the wind changes
and carries the deadly gas waves
back to their own trenches with
terrible effect" This is only one
of the many things Mr.. Empey will
relate and demonstrate in his lee
{ ture at the auditorium tomorrow
evening, and all patriotic people of
Harrisburg and vicinity who want

EMPEY'S FAMOUS
BOOK TO BE SOLD
FOR SMOKE FUND
Author of "Over the Top" to
Appear Here in
Person

The stage is set for Sergeant Ar
thur Guy Empy's lecture in the
Chestnut street auditorium to-mor-
row evening. Hundreds of people
of the city are eagerly awaiting the
time when the small author of the
most famous war book, over the
Top. will relate some of his ex-
periences in the trenches of France
The articles of this soldier now ap-
pearng in the Harrisburg Telegraph
are full of adventures so we'll liked
by the red-blooded American reader
An autographed copy OF Mr.. Empey's
famous book will be auetioned off at
the lecture The proceeds of the sale
will be used for the soldiers smoke
fund.
The expression "Over The Top
has been used in the campaign for
Liberty Bonds, Red Cross and Y. NJ.
C. A. Little did Empey think when
he wrote this book that it would
become world famous. From the
start of the book to the finish it
contains interesting stories of life
in the front line trenches. Up and
at 'em" is favorite expression
used by this former American SOL
dier.
Empey is a man OF adventure. At
an early age he left his home and
enlisted in the Navy, his parents
soon had him released but life was
TOO tame for this young lad, who
Joined the cavalry. After serving
two enlistments he was employed as
a detective and also a member of
the New York National Guard. After
serving on the Mexican border, En-
pey came back to New York with a
desire to get to France. All efforts
to get into the Canadian Expedi-
tionary forces failed and he managed
10 get to London on a boat used to
transport horses to England. Imme-
diately after his arrival he was ac-
cepted for service and in a short
time was in France. When he was
discharged because OF physical dis
ability, he began to lecture on his
experiences.

ed its death blow within the year,
and at the beginning of this month IT

has practically passed out of the trade
of the Far East" With the French
prohibiting the consumption of vodka,
and the Chinese stamping out the

material is considerably lessened. es-

dramatic strength of such a scene as

contemporary events when they are

Famous Scotch Comedian
Greeted by Enthusiastic
and Responsive Audience

Harry Lauder. famous Scotch come
dian, was greeted last night at the
Orpheum Theater by one of the most
enthusiastic and responsive audiences
he ever entertained in Harrisburg.
For more than an hour this clever
and appealing entertainer kept the
hundreds who came to hear him in
laughter. and after each song was ap-
plauded for minutes.
Then, at the close of the entire pro-
gram, Harry stood for several min
utes just back of the footlights and
gave his audience a straight-from-
the-shoulder talk that put new de-
termination in everyone and kindled
the patriotic spirit of the large crowd
as he told them the mission of the al

declared that the entry of the United

Henry Blossom Victor Her
.The bert best musical comedy,
Princess will be presented at the
Pat" Orpheum Theater for the
New Years Day attraction
on Tuesday. January 1, for a matinee
and night performance only. Henry
Blossom and Victor Herbert have be-
come so we'll established as collabora-
tors in the composition of light and
musical comedy that any joint work
of these gifted men attracts far more
than ordinary attention. They have
to their credit such other pronounced
successes as "The Prima Donna" "The
Red Mill" that lent greatly to the
fame of Montgomery and Stone, and
"Mdlle Modiste." another opera that
gave us FRITZ Scheff at her best.
while a more recent work was "The
Only Girl" which ran for an entire
season in New York. These FIVE pro-
ductions represent all on which Bios
som and Herbert have collaborated
and every one scored a most emphatic
artistic and financial hit. That "The
Princess Pat" has its full share of
success is best demonstrated by the
fact that it crowded the Cort Theater,
