We're You There?
More than half the population of
Harrisburg turned out yesterday
morning and gave the soldiers of the
Eighth regiment a rousing reception.
1t was a welcome long to be remem-
bered
The Harrisburg troops arrived at
7.3O in the morning. They came on
the first section, making good time be-
tween Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. The
signal was given when the train
reached Altoona at 4.45 a. M. Not
withstandinS the early hour and chill
ly blasts, all Harrisburg answered the
call and was on the streets two hours
before the train arrived.
1t was an hour after the soldiers
reached here that the reception par
ade got under way. There were de-
lays in unloading the machine guns.
In the meantime Chief Marshal Hen
derson Gilbert and his staff lined up
the paraders and awaited orders to
march.
The program for the parade as an
nounced was carried out to the letter.
Military and other organizations pre-
pared for the parade at Third and
State streets. They were ready to
move one hour before the troops ar
rived. An aide was sent to the Penn
sylvania railroad station and notified
Chief Marshal Gilbert when the train
reached the sttaion.
Wait For Soldiers
The parade moved out Third to
North, to Fourth. to Market, to Mar
ket Square, to Second street. When
the head of the line reached Second
and Locust streets, the procession
halted until orders were received that
! the soldiers were in line.
| The reception committee met the
| Troop and escorted them to Fourtl
| and Market streets. The first division
| of the parade was made up of the loca
military veteran organizations, G. A
| r., Sons of Veterans, Spanish-Ameri
| can War Veterans and Governor
Troop. In the second division, Thom

Fire Chief John c. Kinder with As
sistant Fire Chief Marion K. Verbeke
headed the third division made up of
the local fire companies. The Hope
Fire Company with so members and
the commonwealth Band headed the
division. The Citizen, Reilly Hose and
the Volunteer Firemen had uniformed
men in line.
The reception committee headed the
! fourth division. Back of the commit
! tee was Colonel Maurice E. Finney
and staff. Then came Companies ID
and /, the headquarters company, sup
ply company and machine gun COM
pany. TWO of the machine guns were
| in line and attracted much attention.
The auto truck furnished the Eighth
Regiment by the citizens of Harris
burg brought up the rear of the pro-
cession.
Police Have Big Job
Along the route there was nroIonpot
cheering. Several times friends anc
: relatives of the soldiers tried to ge
to the paraders, but they were helC
back by detail of mounted member
OF the Governors Troop. At the Ar
mory there was a crush. Several twin
dows were broken by the crowd in al
effort to get inside and it was hare
task for the local police to keep the
| crowds back
on the inside there was genera
| handshaking between soldiers anC
committeeman, and later the troop!
were turned over to the committee o.
women who gave them a luncheon ot
| sandwiches and hot coffee. After the
luncheon an opportunity was giver
| for the friends and relatives.
Then came scenes beggaring de-
| scription. Mothers rushed to their
| boys for first fond embrace. Sisters
| and sweethearts fought their way
| through the crowds. Very little time
was given for greetings however, as
! Colonel Ffnney was anxious to ar
range many details. He gave orders
to have the men report at intervals,
and the soldiers were then dismissed
until o'clock this morning.

RELIEVE PRESIDENT OF WORK

Washington, Feb. 26.-Under a rul-
ing of the judge advocate general of
the army, the President is relieved of
the task of signing commissions for
officers of lower grade in the army and
hereafter will sign only the commits
sions of general officers. For officers
of lower grade, the signature of the
Secretary of War as "by the presi-
dent" it is held, will comply with the
law. The ruling lifts heavy burden
off the President particularly in view
of proposed increases in the army
IT is estimated that if fifty thousand
officers were commissioned for an
army of 5,000,O00 men, it would take
the President more than q week of
full working days to sign the COM
missions.

importance.
London dispatches last night an
nounced the retirement of the Ger
mans along a wide front in the Somme

To-day's dispatches added nothing
to the details of this movement.

Rotarians Give Kemper
Royal Welcome; Praise
For Penna Soldiers

To-day's luncheon of the Rotary
Club resolved itself into a reception
for c. Linford Scott, who is just re-
covering from a recent severe illness,
and Lieutenant Colonel James b. KEN
per, of the Eighth Regiment, who re-
turned with the troops yesterday.
Kemper told the club some interest
ing experiences at the border, he with
several other officers being present
when Pershing's column brought thou
sands of refugees from Mexico to the
border.
This was the first time in history"
said Colonel Kemper, that thousands
of the citizens of invaded territory fol-
lowed the invader back to his own
country for protection"
Colonel Kemper, was high in his
praise of the Pennsylvania Division.
General Funston sent a message to
General Clement" said he, ito the ef-
feet that the Pennsylvania troops had
caused less trouble than any other
State unit at the border"
The Eighth Regiment. he said, he
regarded as the best all around mill
tary organization in Pennsylvania. The
II ainmen OF the section on which the
Harrisburg men rode coming North al
told him that the troops were the most
gcntlemaLiy they had handled in their
long experience since the call for mer
last summer. Colonel Kemper urged
the Rotary Club to encourage the local
organizations and to do what is pos
sible to recruit them up to full
strength.
The club voted that each member
shall salute the men in uniform where
ever they meet them in the street.

DRIED GOLDFISH SINK SCHOONER

Goldfish Sank Big Schooner was
the title of a news item of recent date,
which besides being most unusual,
seems to open up a new method of
sinking wooden ships of the nations
at war at trifling cost compared with
the present $1,000 to $4,000 torpedoes
used by the submarines and de-
stroyers.
The schooner Ponhook, under a cap
tain and crew of seven men, left st.
John, n. B., for the Azores, with a
cargo of dried Goldfish, explains the
Popular Science Monthly for March.
Soon afterward she ran into a heavy
sea and shipped considerable water.
The dry Goldfish absorbed this like a
sponge, and it was but a couple of
days before the expansive pressure of
the swelled Goldfish had forced open
the seams of the vessels planking so
that the water began to seep in, little
by little, until the ship was beyond
saving and had to be abandoned.

Chicago Board Members
Make Decision After Con-

PRICE SHOOTS UP
TO 1925 A BUSHEL
Trading in July and September Wheat
Is Not Affected by the Change-Ex-
listing Contracts to Be Adjusted by

CHICAGO, May 12.-All trading in
May wheat on the Chicago market was
discontinued by an unprecedented ac-
ton taken by directors of the board
of trade last night after nearly three
hours of discussion. Trading in wheat
for delivery in July and September
will not be restricted
All existing contracts in May wheat
will be adjusted by delivery Of the
cash article or by a settling price to be
determined by a committee consisting
Of James A. Patten and the cxprcsi-
dents Of the board, A. Stamford White,
and Hiram y. Sagcr, who were APP
ipointed by President j. T. Griffin.
The action of the board, while not
interfering with the freedom of con
tract on the part of either individuals
or the government, compels those re-
| quiring wheat for immediate consump-
| tion to make purchases from farmers
and grain dealers rather than through
the medium of a contract for future
delivery on the floor of the exchange.
The amount Of wheat on this market
was said to be 10000 bushels on Sat
urday and that probably the amount
now here was short of those figures.
| The decision to call halt in deals
in May wheat futures came as the
price had touched S3.25 a hushel, al
though the close was at but $3.lS. an
advance of three cents for the dav
cash wheat sold TO millers at $3.50 To
$40 q bushel. II compares with $I2q
for May wheat ON April ,, since that
time the price having jumped 10 to >
history of the trade.
The decision came as 4 climax to 4
series of events which, despite refusal
of officials to discuss them. are known
to have the closest connection and rela
tive significance.
