ARMS FULL OF
BUNDLES IS NEW
PATRIOTIC MARK
Shopping Early Is Another
Method of Doing
Your Bit

The new mark of a patriot will be
a man, woman or child who emer6es
from a store carrying as many bun
dies as possible. Flags on the collar
and coat lapel have gone out of
style as a means of marking a pa
triot. The Retail Merchants of Har-
risburg and of the nation are en-
fashion, and the new fashion, al
ready fast gaining popularity is
carrying bundles and cooperating
with merchants in eliminating in
every way possible any unnecessary
expenditures.
G. o. ID. Banned
In compliance with the CONNER
cial Economy Board of the Council
of National Defense, the retail mer-
of Commerce adopted resolutions
urging their patrons to help con-
serve men and vehicles during the
present period of emergency.
This morning cards were posted
bearing the six points in particular
which the merchants are asking ac-
tive cooperation.
In addition to requesting patrons
TO carry bundles both to and from
the store. they also ask that mer-
chandise be selected with as much
care as possible and thus eliminate
all return articles. c. Q. d. pur-
chases are also under the ban.
Shop Early
To shop as early in the day as
possible will be a sign of patriotism.
Stores are forced to carry enough
salespeople to handle the work of
the rush hour. If a certain percent
age of people make it a habit 10
shop early, the business of the day
will be more evenly distributed.
1t is considered that for the great
mass of the people to do everything
to eliminate unnecessary labor during
this time is of itself a mark of pa
triotism. Formerly merchants have
maintained departments for the ac-
commodation of customers that now
may be eliminated because of the
scarcity of labor and the willingness
of people to help.

EQUIPMENTS ANDWAR

Prominent Issues Show Gains Ranging From Large

regular and Reactonary

New York, July 80 (wall street,
War shares and equipments formed
the bulk of to-day's early dealings,
the more prominent issues showing
GAINS ranging from large fractions
TO point. Steels. Baldwin Locomo-
tive, Industrial Alcohol and Ohio Gas
were most active, but shippings and
motors were irregular or reactionary.
Rails and coppers retained all of
their recent sluggish tendencies.
Most gains were lost before the end
OF the first hour, sales for that period
barely exceeding 100000 shares
with greater dullness and further re-
cessions later. United States Steel
reacted l II points to 122s and other
industrials yielded sympathetically
The few features of comparative
strength included Marine preferred
and alcohol at gains of l and 2
points respectively. Oils and sugars
comprised the heavy specialties and
rails also fell back. Bonds were ir-
regular, but Liberty 8 " s were liber-
ally traded in at 1888 to 99.45.

Austrian Fleet Commander
Doubts Victory by U-Boats

Amsterdam, July 80. - Admiral
Maximilian Mcgowan. commander of
the Austrian fleet, in an interview
given to the Neue Freie Presse, de-
clared he did not believe that sub
marines would bring about a decision
in the war. He said:
AT present the U-boats are much
spoken of as making England, Aus
tria's principal enemy uncomfort-
able. but they merely are means
towards victory. 1t would be a mis-
take to believe from the experiences
Of this war that big ships are USE
less but for use the essential type is
that of light cruisers.
IF we had a great fleet the war
with Italy would have been finished
long ago. Indeed. the war would
never have been possible"

ary khaki and bareheaded, walked
the greatest national figure of the
day-herensky. He was virtually
without guard and thousands of
citizens eager to see the face of the
national hero, pressed in upon the
procession and at times threatened
to halt or break up the parade.
Colorful Procession
The procession was headed bv n
small cossack escort, Immediately
followed by hundreds of white veil
ed sisters of charity, soldiers and
civilians bearing enormous wreaths
and all sorts of religious insignia
Next came the boys choir from ST
Isaac's cathedral, followed by a
long line of priests, variously cloth
ed according to rank. and last came
the Metropolitan himself gorge
ously arrayed in vestment and nnitre
spangled with silver and Jewels
After. each chief mourner was led
the horse of the deceased. One of
these bore marks of wounds receiv-
ed in a recent street battle.
When the procession was half
way down the Morskai, a sudden
tremor ran through the crowd -.
Careful marching units became en-
tangled in hopeless disorder.
Crowds broke and ran in all direc-
tions, no one knowing what had
happened, but all recognizing a IA
miliar sign of approaching panic.
When no shots were fired, the pro-
cession gradually fell back into
step and it was discovered that the
cause of the uneasiness was the
rearing of a horse which had brok-
en- its harness. No harm was done.
and the procession was soon on it's
way again, but the incident served
to show the nervousness of the
crowd, and the secret apprehension
that the day would not pass without
trouble
