All Uniforms Looked Alike
to These Frenchmen

Washington, Dec. 21.-Five dash
ing French soldiers were walking up
f street toward the treasury the 9TH
er afternoon. The guests of the ma
tion were the center of all eyes
Though their country lay bleeding
across the water, and the sorrows of
their land were deeply etched in
their hearts, the French soldiers
could not but respond that after
noon to the crisp fall weather, the
approaching glances of the people
they met, the thrill of life itself.
Washington was very beautiful
The people of the capital of America
were very kind.
The soldiers of France walked in
a little group, and every time they
passed an American soldier they sa-
luted gravely. A man in khaki pass
ed them. The French officers sa-
luted. Next they met an American
naval officer. The French officers sa-
luted. A marine came next. Pune
tiliously the officers saluted. No
brave ally, no matter what uniform
he wore, should escape the courtesy
due him.
Soon thereafter along came a
young man in a neat blue uniform
The French officers took one look
at the neat blue uniform, and at the
cap which surmounted it, and then
all saluted as one man.
On the cap which they saluted was
written: Western Union"

MONEY IN CHRISTMAS TREES

One man in New York expects to
realize $4,000 from the sale of
Christmas trees this year.
The city dealer sends men up 10
the wooded districts not far from
the railroad and makes contracts for
the trees. The straight and symmet-
rical ones are chosen, graded ac-
cording to size, tied in bundles of a
dozen and placed on board the cars
and shipped to the city. They come
by the train load. thousands of them.
The small ones may sell for % cents
each. the larger and finer ones may
sell for as much as IS, and one spe-
cially selected may bring much more.
When the selling period is over, on
the night before, they are almost
given away, and some dealers viii be
glad to have them taken away for
nothing. The loss of some of them
is a part of the dealers calculations.

Central High Unfurls
Service Flag For 129

Immediately after recitation this
morning and after Principal II. G..
Dibble had told how the football
team had relinquished its annual
banquet this year, the scholars of
Central High school and many
guests gathered in the big room for
the purpose of paying tribute to the
129 graduates and undergraduates
now in Uncle Sans service. The
clear strong voices of hundreds of
boys and girls rang out with a fer
vor and eXultance as they sang one
after another the familiar national
airs. For a while after this the
building shivered with staccato yells
of the various classes and the insti-
tuition. and the girls had the lime
light by reason of their industry and
cleverness in making the huge SER
vice flag.
The chief address was made by
Major l.. V. Rausch, who is in charge
Of the arsenal. At the completion
of this everybody adjourned below
where the beautiful emblem was un-
furled and raised in front of the

Another variety bill is offered at
the Majestic Theater for the latter
part of the week, including the usual
mus;cas comedy act as headliner
with several other good offerings on
the program.
The audience was pleased with the
work of the Australian Creightons,

Juggling Offering much better than
the usual vaudeville run. Wilbur
Held, as tramp comedian. failed to
start the comedy part Of the enter
tainment and did not get much ap-

in clever skit listed as "A Shop

Ben Harvey was the big success
of the bill. He claims to be the orig
inator of ragtime and this naturally
attracts. the attention of the theater-
goers. some of whom do not enjoy
the popular music of the day, but the
majority favor it. Mr.. Harney was

1t was said that when the COM
missions investigators went to Chi

plies from the officers of Swift x
Company and that direct demand
for the records had been refused.
To obtain the papers, which relate
to the ownership of the Chicago
stockyards and other details of the
meat industry, the commission will
go into n federal court and ask an
order compelling the company to
produce them.
Mr.. Heney also announced re-
receipt of a telegram that C. c.

the commissions subpoena. The
telegram said Mr.. Chase has been
ordered south for an indefinite

Deny Reports That
Next Loan Will Pay
Higher Interest Rate

Washington. Dec. 21.-Published re-
ports that the Third Liberty Loan
would be for SS.O00.000 at Az per
cent. interest, one-haf cent above
the rates on the second loan. were
denied to-day by Secretary McAdoo.
The difficulty of planning the third
loan at this time. Treasury officials
pointed out to-day, is increased by
the impossibility of foreseeing actual
disbursements and receipts from the
sale of war savings stamps during
the remaining six months of the
fiscal year. The interest rate must
be dependent somewhat on the mar
ket price of Liberty ponds of past
issues at the time of the third loan.

Geraldine FaTrar, gifted star of
song and screen, will be the dominent
attraction in the special Yuletide
program at the Regent Theater. The
first showing of her latest Aircraft
release, THE Devil Stone" will be
made on Christmas Day.
The prima donna appears first as a
Breton fisher maid, and then as a Vik-
ing queen, after which the story de-
velops into a compelling modern
drama, with the finale laid in busy
New York. In this production, Ger
aldine Farrar plays in a widely diff
ferent role from her former stellar
appearances.
This photoplay has a new theme,
and one of the greatest poTtent, name =
ly, Superstition. AS Marcia Manot,
Miss Farrar finds a famous stone, an
emerald, which has been lost for gem
erations, and which she believes to
have belonged to a legendary Queen
Grenelda, of Morse folk lore.
While the film is portrayed by an
all-star cast, opposite the star again
appears Wallace Reid, the popular
actor. whose previous work has prov
ed him an ideal leading man. other
well-known players who have won
distinction in Farrar pictures appear
in this new production.

MAkESADEMAND
THAT THE NAMES
BE MADE PUBLIC
Citizen Says Those Who Are
Doing Duty Should Know
Who Enemies Are

Throughout the city there seems
to be an opinion that the time has
come when the United States should
know it's enemies within it's gates;
and particularly that Harrisburg
should know the names of it's resi-
dents who are either for the Central
powers in the war, or carelessly in
different, or criminally active-if
there are any of the latter classifica-
ton.
The Telegraph editorial last night
in which mention was made of the
eXcuses-not reasons-being given
by many Harrisburg people for fail
ure to join the Red Cross or buy
Liberty bonds, was warmly COM
mended. A number of letters re-
ceived to-day demand that the
names of Harrisburg. slackers be
published. One such letter is as fol-
lows:

Compensation
Rulings Issued

The State Compensation Board to-
day handed down a decision award
ing fifty, per cent. of wages for q
period of 500 weeks to Frank Cor.
gona, of Philadelphia, who Iade a
claim against Joseph A. CoylD & Co.
in which compensation was asked
for total blindness and for other in
juries. The board makes the ruling
that the lesser injuries should merge
into the greater when being consid.
cred and the total award is not to
exceed $4,000. The case will estab-
lish precedent in such claims.
In refusing a rehearing in Pribi.
cevic VS.. Pittsburgh Crucible Steel
Co, the board says that mere ignor.
ance of the law will not justify the
board in proceeding contrary to
what we deem to be positive and
necessary requirements under the
act.
The board awarded new hearings
in over dozen cases, including
number against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad and set aside the award in
Heaney against the same railroad.
In the case of Erdman VS.. Eagle,
Shamokin, the board dismisses an
appeal after having summoned the
claimant before it and viewed y
hand upon whose injury compensa-
ton was claimed.
