DIR. EAGER HEADS
BOYS WORKING
RESERVE BODY
Tech High Principal Will Pro-
cure Volunteers to Take
Places of Fighters
THE QUOTA HERE IS 423
That Number of Dauphin
County Youths Expected
to Respond
THE QUOTA HERE IS 423

DIR. Charles B. Eager, principal of
the Technical high school, has been
appointed chairman for the Boys
Working Reserve Committee in Dau-
rhin county. He has accepted the
appointment and is now formulating
the committee which will assist him
in the work of procuring volunteers
between the ages of 16 and 21, with
their parents consent, who will vol
unteer for the various kinds of work
for which they are fitted and which
they prefer to help Uncle Sam win
the war with Germany, taking the
places of men who go to the front.
In an Interview to-day DIR. Eager
said:
"Pennsylvania's enrolment for the
Boys Working Reserve, u. S. A, has
been apportioned by counties for the
speedy recruiting of the quota of
1000 boys requested by the United
States Department of Labor. The
apportionment means enrolment of
one boy in every sixteen in the state
or one boy to every 100 men of
voting age. Dauphin county's quota
is 423.
The Reserve is an organization
which aims to supply emergency
workers to replace labor shortage
caused by the draft"
Buttons for Those Who Enroll
DIR. Eager said that he understands
the importance of keeping boys in
school as long as possible, and he is
fully in accord with the Governors
proclamation along these lines, but
when the government decides that
boys are needed to help win the war
by placing them in mems places
when the regular workers have gone
to the front, the need cannot be
denied.
Buttons will be provided for boys
who enroll, but the national bronze
badge is made only after the boys
have given satisfactory emergency
service. The enrolment will be made
as soon as possible and previous to
that time Dr.. Eager and the COM
mitteemen who will assist him will
get into touch with the industries of
the county to ascertain their needs.
Adams county's quota will be 81;
Cumberland. 1854; Franklin, 160; Full
ton, 20; Huntington, 10S; Juniata
80; Lancaster, 473; Lebanon, III;
Miflin. 76; Northumberland. 314:

Washington, Aug. 27. - President
Wilson sent to the members of the
National Council assembly at Mos
cow to-day assurance that this gov
ernment is willing to extend every
material and moral assistance" to
the Russian government.
No official comment was made by
government officials on Premier
Kerensky's speech before the mem
bers of the Council yesterday, but it
was made clear that the sentiments
expressed by the Russian leader
were heartily approved here and
that his declaration is indicating the
firm manner in which he and his
counsellors are prepared to deal with
enemies of the new government had
aroused a greater confidence in the
outcome of their plans. The mess
age cabled President Wilson fol-
lows:
II take the liberty to send to the
members of the great council now
meeting in Moscow the cordial greet
inCJ of their friends, the people of
the United States; to express their
confidence in the ultimate triumph
of ideals of democracy and self gov
ernment against all enemies within
and without and to give their re-
newed assurance of every material
and moral assistance they can ex-
tend to the government of Russia
in the promotion of the common
cause in which the two nations are
unselfishly united.

Possibly as a diversion, the Ger
mans have resumed their attacks in
the Aisne region, where fol! many
days in July and early August they
met with repeated checks in desper-
ate attempts to drive the French
from the valuable ground on the
Chemin-Des-Dames won in the
spring offensive. The renewal Of the
attempt met with no better success,
the breaking up of the crown
princes thrusts being announced to-
day by the Paris war office.
The British are continuing their
systematic smashing of aviation and
other bases behind the German front

Grass Only Food Little
Children Can Get to
Keep From Starvation
BY associated Press

New York. Aug. 27.-More than
$4,000 children under IL years of
age, all dependent on outside relief
for necessities of life, are in Leba-
non, and an additional $4,000 orph-
ans are in Syria, not including Pales-
tine, according to reports of mission
aries from the Near East who recent
ly arrived here. 1t was asserted by
the missionaries that it was extreme
ly doubtful whether many of these
children could survive the coming
winter, if relief does not reach them
in a more substantial form than
heretofore.
In many instances the missionar-
les said, little children scarcely old
enough to feed themselves were
found by relief workers living abso-
lutely alone, begging for enough
food to keep them alive, and failing
in that, subsisting on grass. The ma
jority of these were girls, who had
survived eue to greater powers of
resistance or to having been fed by
their brothers, who starved.

COUNCIL PASSES
ON ANNEXATION
OF RIVERSIDE
Goes Through 3 to 1; If Resi-
dents Do Not Fight Will
Become Part of City

Council to-day passed the River
side annexation ordinance by a vote
of three to one. Should none of the
residents in the district fight the an
neXation move within the next ten
days the large district north of the
city will become a part of Harris
burg, and within sixty days the citi-
zens will be notified and may vote at
the November election for the candi-
dates for city offices and school di-
rectorate.
Commissioner Lynch was the only
member to vote against the move.
In doing so he explained to Acting
Mayor Gorgas that he was not OPP
posed to taking in Riverside, but
that he wanted to know the cost OF
the annexation and certain improve
ments which must be made, before
he would be willing to act favorably.
Mayor Gorgas and Commissioners
Dunkle and Gross, however, voted
in the affirmative and the ordinance
was passed.
Spencer Gilbert Nauman notified
the commissioners before the formal
session that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company would expect remu-
neration for the water mains which
it has laid in Sixth, Division and
Front streets in Riverside, to which
the smaller water lines are attach
ed. Acting Mayor stated that Coun-
Gil would consider all such questions
in making up the budget for the
coming year.
NJ. w. Jacobs. solicitor for the city
school board, was the only other
person to address Council on the
annexation. He stated the board
was neither for or against the addi-
toin, but that should the territory
be taken in, preparations would be
