Camp Morrison, Va, watching the con-
dtion Of Mrs Galvin's son, Denzil Gal

week had left when Galvins condi-
ton was more hopeful He found him
well taken care Of in an excellent camp
hospital, where about 600 other patti.
cnts with influenza or pneumonia are
being accommodated, and according to
the doctors report, Calvin had been
one of the most cheerful of the many
sufferers, keeping nurses and other
patients in better spirits by his Jokes.
Calvin had not realized, until his par
ents and aunt arrived, that he was
ILL.,
Mr. Dyer was deeply impressed with
the great system Of war activity which
he witnessed at Newport News, which
port is only five miles from Camp Nor
rison. The latter camp, where Calvin
is, is one of many in that vicinity, and
is accommodating thousands of avia-
tors.

he has got tired OF it, and refuses to

The nearest approach to telegraph
service now is to telephone a message
to Middlebury and have it forwarded
from there The agent at Middleburv
will naturally want to know who is
paying for it, and II YOU say YOU are,
he will ask who you are, Then II he

ICE CREAM MEN
HERE TO STUDY
MANY PROBLEMS
Difficulties of Securing Raw
Materials Discussed at
Convention

About 400 members of the State
Association of Wholesale ice cream
manufacturers assembled at the
Chestnut Street Auditorium for theiS
annual convention at 2 o'clock TINS
afternoon. Besides this afternoon,s
session, tomorrow morning ana al
ternocsl sessions will be held. The
convention will adjourn tomorrow
evening. 49, .---
Officers will be elected tomorrow
morning, and the place for next year
convention will be decided. The
board Of directors Will decide upon Ienf
convention, the Columbus hotel will
be headquarters for the delegates.
Mayor Keister made the address OF
welcome at the opening session TINS
afternoon. Robert Crane, OF the
adelphia. and president of the Whole
sale Manufacturers Association, pre-
sided. j. w. Neuman is secretary.
Big questions which will be consld-
cred at the convention. viii include
the raw material situation. such as
sugar, dairy products, butter fats,
machinery and equipment markets,
and the ammonia supply. The last
named has been an acute factor IN
the ice. cream industry for the past
year. 1t is likely that Herbert Hoover
or Howard Heinz, national and state
food administrators respectively, VIII
be questioned as to the attitude OF
the food administration toward the
twelve months, an official said.
There will not be the usual dinner
and other social functions attendant
upon the annual conventions, and a
regular program of speakers has not
been arranged, owing to the. uncer-
to the recent influenza restriction on
public meetings.

"a ALIENS ARE
MADE CITIZENS
BYLOCALCOURT
Testimony of Saloon Com
panion Not Accepted by
the Examiner

Meeting all the requirements to
become naturalized citizens of the
United States twenty-four foreign
born residents of the city and county
were admitted to citizenship at a
session of naturalization court held
by Judge j. NJ. McCarrell, with
j. NJ. Gurnett, of Philadelphia, as
examiner.
While many more applications for
naturalization were heard, a number
were continued for various reasons,
some of the men not having salts
factory witnesses, others not COM
plying with requirements of proof
of residence
Five applications were dismissed.
One of these was made by Enea
Testi, formerly of Cherry street, this
city. Mr.. Gurnett explained to
Judge McCarrell that Testi had been
divorced from his wife who alleged
cruel and barbarous treatment. He
was married in 1910. A few years
later his wife in the Dauphin county
courts gave uncontradicted testi-
mony of cruel actions on the part
. of Testi.
Many Born in Italy
Another applicant had one wit
ness who had known him for six
years. The second witness he said
he met in a barroom and knew him
for five and one-half years. The
examiner told the applicant. he
should get a man of good moral
character who had known him for
six years, and that ne should not
look in a saloon for. such a person.
One of the men who was ac-
cepted ard who will take the oath to
support and defend this country as
a native citizen was Jacob Gordon,
who came here from Russia in 1902.
His two brothers, Abraham and
Aaron Gordon, were witnesses for
him.
An unusual feature of the ses-
sion was the substitution of wit
nesses necessitated in one case. The
applicant had named the witnesses
who had known him for the neces-
sary length of time but one of
them died sBIrtly before the time
fixed for the court session. Unable
to get another witness except a
native of England who was ad-
mitted as a citizen to-day, the ap-
plicant was compelled to wait until
his friend was given the oath. The
latter then was qualified to testify
and the court agreed to the sub
stitution.
The majority of the foreign born
men to be accepted and who will
become citizens were natives of
Italy

offered to give whatever assistance
they can in the raising of the money.
Each girl will do her bit They will
sell candies and cakes of their own
making and their fellow pupils many
of them have pledged themselves to
buy their Thanksgiving and Christ

AUSTRIA FACES
STARVATION IN
WAKE OF PEACE
Scenes Along Railway Not I'm
like Those on Battlefield;
Bodies Along Lines
BY Associated Press

italian Headquarters, Nov. IA
G. D. McLeed, of Montreal, an avi-
ator, and C. M. Young, of Des
Moines, Iowa, who were taken pris-
oner by the Austrians during the
Italian campaign, have been released
and have reached the Italian lines.
Horrible food conditions prevail
in Austria" said McLeed to-day,
"and it is quite possible that mil
lion persons will die there this win
ter from lack of food, weakness and
disease. The country is quiet now,
but another Russia may grow out of
the situation as soon as the troops
returning from the front discover
that the end of the war has not
brought relief.
Scenes along the railways are.
like those on the battlefield. We
saw bodies scattered here and there
as result of men crowding on the
tops of trains and being swept off
by tunnels. There also were bodies
of wounded men who have been
taken from the Red Cross and left
to die"

Soldiers Must Be
Protected From Drink,
Says Secretary Baker

Governor Brumbaugh to-day mad
public a telegram from Secretary o
War Baker. urging that communitie
Ashould not relax efforts for the wei
fare and protection Of soldiers.
The telegram says:
Signing of armistice in no way
lessons responsibility of civil
communities for protection of SOL
diers from prostitution and sale
of liquor. Our states and cities
ought never to lose the control
which has been established or
stop so vital n work. The gov
ernment purposes to leave no
measure unused in repression of
these evils from now until de-
mobilization is fully accomplish
ed. War Department is deter
mined to return soldiers to their
families and to civil life uncon-
taminated by disease. Laxity in
your state after so much has been
done would be a disaster to our
soldiers and their families. 1
am telegraphing mayors of larg-
est cities of your state accord
ing to above. You are requested
to telegraph this message ver-
batim to mayors of all cities and
towns therein.
