New Asrrich Store
Opening This Evening

An advertisement appearing else
where in the columns of this news
paper announces the formal opening
of the new, enlarged and moderniz-
ed Astrich store. from p. m. to
10 p. m.
The whole store has been beauti-
fully decorated for the event and an
orchestra will render a specially pre-
pared program so that aside from the
viewing of women and misses ap-
parel, a visit will be doubly interest
ing.
The store front, with its handsome
marquise. is one of the most beauti-
full in Central Pennsylvania. The
interior of the store is finished in
ivory and green and green floor COW
ings. The first floor is devoted to the
sale and display of outer garments
for women and misses, such as suits,
coats, dresses, sweaters, waists, etc..
while the entire second floor is used
exclusively for millinery and trim
mings. The French room. for the dis
play OF exclusively designed millinery
is located in the front of the second
floor. Tho third floor is devoted to
stock and workrooms.

tho President and Congress have
spoken their decision had been ac-
cepted.
"Our traditional policy has been
against any but voluntary military
the selective draft 1t was written
into the law. There were those who
told us men of military age would
not enroll and riots would mark the
day of registration. Instead 1t was
day of conservation and the en-
rollment was larger than the census
figures indicated.
Croakers Drowned Out
Congress authorized the issue of
two billions of bonds for war prep
aration. The bond issue will be a
failure croaked a few pessimists.
Their croaking was drowned by the
multitude of voices offering hard
won savings as freely as surplus
wealth.
Upon the heels of this unprece-
Society launched a campaign to
raise one hundred million dollars
for tha beneficent worldwide work
OF mercy. 1T is impossible was the
comment of u few. The faith of the
noble men aud women with vision
was more than justified when more
was given than had been asked.
Congress is now engaged in writ
ing a taxing bill. There is no division
in Congress except as to the courses
of taxation. and the people will pay
without protest. whatever 1t may

conducting a campaign for recruits
for the National Guard. others have
been turning to the work OF the Lib
erty bond campaign and the Red
Cross.
Generously Aids Red Cross
Il the Red Cross work. too, Harris
burg has an enviable record. Start
ing a drive for 5000 members in a
week. the campaigners went far above
this allotment. Headquarters have
been opened in Walnut street, and
several times a week many women
come there and help roll bandages
and make other necessary articles
for use in the hospitals.
A fund campaign was the next Red
Cross step. Teams were organized
and the people of the city donated
over $4,000 instead of only 500 900,
the quota given to the city to raise
as its share of the S100,000.0 900.
Similarly in the Liberty bond sale.
The city was asked to buy two mil
lion dollars of war securities. More
than four million dollars worth were
sold. far exceeding the expectations
OF the many men who conducted the
campaign.
Another cause worthy of mention
in connection with the great pre-
paredness strides in the city is the
work which is being done to give new
life for the local Young Mems Chris
tion Association as the result OF a
drive for field and camp work.
Registration Day. June 8. will go
down in the history of the city and
county as one of the best testimonials
OF the spiIit of cooperation and 10y
atty. Hundreds of men volunteered
their services. some of them for days,
for the gigantic task of enrolling the
men who viii be called TO the colors
by draft within the next few weeks.
Fourteen thousand more men, between
the ages or 81 and 81. in the city and
county districts, presented themselves
for registration.
In the homes. too. the call TO the
flag was answered. Thousands Of
schoolchildren have small gardens un-
der cultivation and many grown-ups
have large areas planted with vege-
tables as the citys part of the food
conservation work.
Nearby towns have done their share
in the preparations. Steelton's patrt-
otic parade on May 10 We'd with the
Harrisburg demonstration in size. An
added feature of the borough's dis
play OF devotion was that thousands
of persons of foreign birth marched
side by side with the people of this
country.
Inc Red cross campaign TOT IunuS
in Steelton also resulted in the people
responding and passing She allot-
ment. and similar reports have been
made from many other smaller bor-
oushs and towns.
Day by day the patriotism increases
and the future promises much more
for the history of the city's response
to the great call to serve humanity
and end the conflict which has been
started to extend militarism through
out the world.

much of the time through u steady
rain. Public officials, businessmen.
thousands of employees of stores ana
shops. all were united in doing honor
to the colors. Many thousands more
lined the sidewalks and ebeered and
applauded as division after division
passed by.
At the same time that the entrance
in the war was decided upon. re-
cIuiting campaign was on in the Har-
rtsburg district to raise the requir ed
number of men to meet the quota all
lotted for this territory for the regu-
lar army. Long since this quota has
been reached, and scores more have
enrolled.
Home Guard Formed
The National Guard units of the
Eighth Regiment. also lacking full
war strength enrolment. started a
drive for recruits. Again the men re-
than seven hundred aIe on the COM
pany lists of the guard. With the
addition of about one hundred more
in the National Guard and a small
number In the regular army. when the
first draft is made no men may be
taken from the city and county.
Organization of a Home Guard
company for city defense was another
development in the preparedness
movement. After few meetings
more than one hundred members have
been enrolled and now are holding
regular drills to learn all military tao
tics. A similar organization has been
formed at Paxtang and others may be
started.
In the regular army service, in the
navy. the marines, Red Cross and
American ambulance units in France,
in the officers training camps and the
National Guards, Harrisburg has a
representation that it may we'll be
proud Of.
Local organizations have many
members in the service. OF the one
hundred and twenty in the Harrisburg
Rife Association. eighteen are in
training camps. thirteen in National
Guard units, twelve in various
branches of regular army service and
three in the navy and marine service.
The clubmembers are having work
rushed on their big ride range along
the Conodoguinet creek. This will ac-
eommodate twelve at one time. with
distances for shooting ranging from
200 to 1000 yards. 1t is planned to
have big opening shoot on July 4.
Building Splendid Range
When completed this range will be
one of the finest in the state, and

and other similar local defense or

HOW DEMOCRACY
CAN WAGE WAR
Sec. Daniels Tells New Naval
Officers People Are
United

Annapolis, June 2s.-America is
demonstrating to the world that a
democracy of hundred million per-
sons can wage war efficiently and
with unity of spirit. Secretary Dan
iels declared to-day in a commence
ment address to nearly 200 members
of the Naval Academy third year
class. whose graduation was ad-
vanced by year to provide officers
for fighting ships
"Those who prophesied that Amer
lea would not go whole-heartedly
into this war have been discredited."

ed councils have been as to the best
method to be employed and when

full conclusion.
Men Flock to Colors
I'm the navy and in the marine
corps the chief problem has not
been to secure the man power need
ed but rather have the navy's re-
sources been taxed to house and uni
form and equip the thousands who
nocked to the standard at the Pres
ioent's first call and the army is Sc
curing all the men who can be
trained.
I'VE are going to war without
passion. without hatred, without lust
for land. without trace of ven-
seance. We do not hate the people
we are to fight. We hate only the
antocracy which harnesses them 10
the juggernaut. Our victory will not
only make the world safe for
democracy, will not only strengthen
elf-government and end the fic-
ton of the divine right, but 1t will
also bring to the German people a
new breath of liberty and hope foI
the day when they will govern them
selves and be no longer the pawns
of militariSm."

SEVEN VOLUNTEERS
FOR 1ST VERMONT
Left Brattleboro This Morning for

Seven young men volunteered to en-
list in the First Vermont Infantry this
morning and were sent to White River
Junction for examination at the re
cruiting station there. They were +.
j. Bristol, Willis Tuttle, II. W. Lang,
John II. Carpenter and George Fecto

nell of Hudson, Mass, and Oscar D.
johnson of Bellows Falls.
1t has just developed that those who
wish to enlist must do so in time to be
sent to the recruiting Office and pass
their examinations before I2 O'Clock
Wednesday noon. That would necessi-
tate their leaving here tomorrow nignt
50 the time to reach a decision is very
short.
If it is absolutely impossible to do
this, however, arrangements have been
made so that belated volunteers may be
sent TO the recruiting station at Rut
land up to noon Thursday.
All recruits will be sent first from
the stations where accepted to Albany

BAPTIST TRUSTEES
FOR CONSERVATION
Plan to Make Recommendation to the
Church Very Soon-Spiritual Mis-
sion of Highest Importance.

The matter OF fuel conservation was
considered by the trustees OF the First
Baptist church at their last meeting, and
a definite recommendation probably will
be presented to the church in the near
future While the details Of the plan
are yet to be formulated, it is understood
that it viii interfere as little as possible
with the regular services OF the church
1t may be that parts OF the church building
may be closed for the rest Of the Win
ter.
It was the unanimous feeling that as
patriotic duty every saving possible
should be adopted. The belief was ex-
pressed, however, that the spiritual mis-
SION OF the churches in this time OF stress
IS OF the highest Importance, and that as
the war goes on the need of their conso-
lation and inspiration will vastly IN
crease, if the spirit of communities is not
to break under the strain Of anxiety and
loss
