Outline of What "Y"
Will Accomplish With
Fund Drive Will Give

The following statement with
regard to the work of the Young
Mems Christian Association in the
war has been issued by Sherwood
Eddy, associate general secretary
of the international committees:
The Y. NJ. c. A. has been chosen
by the Government as the agent
or arm of the nation to minister
to the physical. social and moral
needs of the men in the armies,
together with one or two other
organizations. In France there
are two organizations working for
the soldiers-the Red Cross and
the Red Triangle of the Y. M.
c. A. The former cares for all
the wounded who are carried to
the rear. The latter cares for the
walking wounded, fighting men,
the welfare work of the allied
armies of France. Italy and Rus
sia and the six million prisoners
of war-a total of 24,00O,00O men
in all. calling for a total budget
of S35;000,000 or an average of
S1.50 per soldier.
The Y. NJ. c. A. works on broad
lines. 1t is open to those of all
creeds. 1t seeks to evangeliZe, but
never to proselytiZe, and to hold
every man true to his God. his
church, his faith, his home and
his best self. Here is an oppor-
tunity for us to present COM
mon front and to serve the need
of our common humanity"

SOLDIER VOTE
OBEDELAYED
UNTIL NOV. 3
Judge Kunkel Rules Against
Early Count of Camp
Returns

The official returns of the soldier
vote cast by the men in army camps
throughout the country, for candi-
dates in Harrisburg and Dauphin
county, will not be opened and Of
iicially computed until Friday. No
Vember 30
President Judge George Kunkel,
presiding at the official count in
court of the returns from the 1874
city and county districts, made this
statement to-day just as the work
was nearing completion. But for
slight errors in returns from three
county districts this tedious task
could have been finished to-day.
Three boards were notified to ap-
pear before the court. The election
officials from the Fifth precinct,
Swatara township, appeared this aft
crnoon to rectify their errors, while
the boards from East ward, Will
Jamestown, and West Londonderry
township will appear tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.
In deciding when the soldier vote
will be counted, Judge Kunkel stated
it was the only recourse for the court
as the act under which the ballots
were taken provides that they cannot
be officially tabulated until the third
Friday after the general election,
which will be November 90.
This decision will mean that Fred
l.. Morgenthaler, elected by a big
majority to serve out the uneXpired
term of the late City Commissioner
Harry f. Bowman, probably will not
receive his certificate of election for
several days after November 23, cut
ting his term of office to scarcely
more than month. 1t also will pre-
vent Daniel l.. Keister from becOm-
ing Mayor for about two weeks.
The tally clerks who are tabulating
the vote cannot make any totals un-
til the soldier vote is opened and
added to the figures already copied.
There have been no changes in the
majorities which Mr.. Keister holds
over George A. Hoverter, the other
majoralty candidate, and Jacob Eek
niger the Republican candidate for
coroner, over DR.. G.. Willis Hartman,
his Democratic opponent.

Cooperation Is Needed to
Make Worlds Peace Safe,
Nations Chief Executive
Declares Before Union
GERMANY BEGAN THE
WAR ON CIVILIZATION
Nobody Shall Be Permitted
to Stand in Nations Path;
Wilson Would Deport
Critics Who Hinder
BY .4ssoc.atca Pres,

Auditorium. Buffalo, n. y.
Nov. y. - President Wilson
made personal and eloquent
appeal here to-day for the full
support of organized labor for
the government in the conduct
of the war.
Speaking before the annual
convention of the American
Federation of Labor he declared
the war could not be won unless
all factions unite in a common
cause, sinking their differences.
The President paid warm
tribute to Samuel Gompers.
president of the federation, and
virtually called upon the fed
Grafton to give him united sup
port. He denounced pacifsts
and critics. He appealed for CO.
operation.
Discussing Germany the President
declared flatly that Germany had
started the war and that he was
willing to await the Verdict of his
tory on that statement.
New instrumentalities for better
cooperation between labor and capi-
tai was one statement by the Presi-
dent which was of prime interest
to the convention.
The President referred to the
present war "as the last decisive
issue between the old principles of
power and the new principle of
freedom.
"I believe" he said. "that the
spirit of freedom can get into the
hearts of Germans and find as fine
a. welcome there as it can find in
any other heart. But the spirit of
freedom does not suit the plans Of
the pan-Germans. Power cannot he
used with concentrated force against
free peoples if it is used by free
people.
You know" he. continued. "how
many intimations came to us from
one NJ the central powers that it is
more anxious for peace than the
chief central power, and you know
that 1t means that the people in that
central power know that if the war
ends as it stands, they will in effect
themselves be vassals of Germany
Notwithstanding that their popuIa-
tions are compounded of all the peo-
pic of that part of the world. and
Notwithstanding the fact that they
do not wish in their pride and proper
spirit of, nationality to be absorbed
and dominated"
Ke1errlns to Russia, the President
said: May l not say il is amazing
to me that any group of peonIe
should be so ill-informed as to sun
pose as some groups of Russia an
parently suppose that any reform
planned in the interest of the peo-
pie can live in the presence of a

dermine or overthrow them bv in
trigue or force. Any body of free

by Congressman A. S. Kreider that
George Her Fisher, a Technical High
senior has received the appointment
to Annapolis from this district.

LOYAL TROOPS ARE
RAPIDLY ADVANCING
RevOIutionists in Moscow
Are Driven Out of Power
After Weak Attempt to

Petrograd, Nov. 11.-Street
fighting is proceeding con-
stantly. Junkers loyal to the
Kerensky government regained
possession of the telephone sta
ton this morning. The exact
whereabouts of the Kerensky
army which is reported to be
approaching the city is un-
known. Fighting is in progress
in the Grand Morskaia between
Bolshevik infantrymen and
junker forces in armored cars.
Premier Kercnsky at the head
Of 100000 loyal troops is
!, marching on Petrograd, where
the Maxinalists rapidly are
losing power. The Bolsheviki
uprising in Moscow was abor-
tive apparently and the loyal
troops have driven the revolu-
tionaries into the Kremlin,
General Korniloff, leader of
the recent futile revolt; General
Kaledines, former Hertman OF
the Don Cossacks; Michael
Rodzianko, president of the
Duma, and Professor Milukoff,
constitutional democrat leader,
are reported to be forming a
government in Moscow.
Probably such an organization
would be more conservative than
the Kerensky ministry and whether
it is supporting Kerensky is not yet
indicated.
Many Troops Loyal
The Bolsheviki and the Kerensky
forces have not yet engaged in ex-
tensiVe fighting. Loyal troops have
occupied Tsarkoe-Selo, fifteen miles
south of Petrograd. and Premier
Eere"sky and his troops are reported
at Gatchina- about 80 miles south
southwest of the capital. Food sup
plies in Petrograd are reported TO
be very low and the Cossacks there
are backing the Minimalists in re-
sisting the Maximalists.
Apparently there have been No
further detection to the Bolshevik!
from the army and garrisons and
Petrograd and Moscow appears 70
have been the only large cities af-
fected by the uprising of the fol-
lowers of Lenine. Loyalist troops
now control the chief wireless sta
ton, one report from which saws
that the overthrow of the revolt is
only a matter of days or hours"
rms Is borne out in part by the lack
OF timely advices from the Boishevil5i
headquarters in Petrograd.
The radical element in Finland has
seized the opportunity to attempt to
set up separate government. Gov
ernor General Nekrasoff has been
dismissed and his place taken by n

proclaimed. The Finnish Diet has

province to a state directorate.
