CRITICISM MAKES
CHAIRMAN RESIGN
S. McC. Swope, Public Safety
Committee, Declines to
Serve Any Longer
HE STATES HIS REASONS
Adams County Will Be Separ-
ate District in Next
Liberty Loan Drive

Gettysburg, Pa, Feb. as. McC.
the Public Safety Committee of
Adams county and in his letter to
George Wharton Pepper, state
chairman, says: IT trust the reason
for this act will not be misunder-
'stood-it does not mean that my in
terest in this great war in which we
ARE engaged has in any sense lessen
ed, for it has not, and 1 hope with
you that this war will not end until
it ends in victory. To accomplish
this result however, feel that the
work of the local chairman of the
Committee of Public Safety in each
county should be practically free
from criticism and free from the de-
sire to criticize-and such l regret
TO say is not the case in Adams
county" - DIR. William Anthony
Granville, president of Gettysburg
College, has been named chairman
for Adams county for the next Lii
berty Loan drive. In the other two
drives Adams county was a part of
the York county district, with Grier
Hersh. of York, as chairman, but
1t is deemed advisable to make
Adams county a district of its own
with local man at the head
The Boy Scouts of Littlestown have
become authorized Government dis
patch bearers and have received
their Identification cards. They will
now distribute to the people of that
community any pamphlets or any

pie should become acquainted.-The

ed the sum of $24.54 from the Of
ferings taken at the services of
the second week of prayer recently
held.-On Monday the Adams coun-
ty draft board began the physical
examination and tests of all the
registrants who were placed in class
one as the result of the return of
the questionnaires. This was done
,on the instructions of those higher
in authority and the inference is
that many of them will be called
shortly to go to Camp Meade
Frank Cromer, of York street, shot
twenty-seven sparrows with the
discharge of one shell from the gun.
j. A. Cox, the local freight agent
of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad, has received official notice

Y. M. c. A. GETTING
GOOD RESULTS
]. B. Carrothers Is Pleased
With Good Work at
Southern Camps

The splendid results of Y. NJ. c..
"A. activities in the Army camps were
witnessed by j. B. Carrothers, in
charge of the state organization
headquarters in the Calder building,
who has just returned from a trip of
inspection covering Camps Hancock
and Lee. Relatives and friends who
have some dear one at Camp Han
cock may be thankful, for this is
the model of all American camps,
says Mr.. Carrothers, and further
more, it is situated in a warm spot.
The day Mr.. Carrothers left the
thermometer registered 76 in the
shade and overcoats went into the
discard.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has six regular
shacks at the camp, with two new
buildings going up and several tents.
The system is so smooth, the en-
thusiasm so continuous and the
quality of helpers so high that the
organization here reaches it's acme.
Not only are the workers active in
camp, but they even follow ten miles
out in the country to the artillery
grounds and cavalry station, taking
in automobiles many comforts and
necessities for the men. Camp Han
cock shows the results of this whole
some life, being rated at the top in
sixty Y. NJ. c. A. workers in this
camp which houses it's men OK
clusively in tents.
Camp Lee, on the contrary, uses
wooden barracks, generally of two
stories, which. fortunately can be
heated. This is imperative for the
climate at Lee has been anything
but pleasant. They had six inches
of snow while L remained there"
said Mr.. Carrothers, land the mud
is indescribable."
The Y. NJ. c. A. has nine shacks
here; the X. of C. has three and the
Y. w. c. A. have a fine establish
ment which is greatly appreciated.
In the latter soldiers have an attrac-
tive place to meet women guests,
mothers, sisters and sweethearts.
The army of trained nurses find this
place most convenient. Mr.. Car
rothers was impressed by the manli-
ness of the men at Camp Lee, and
he said that his trip convinced him
of things, namely, that President
Wilson made no mistake when he
located these huge camps in the
comparatively warm Dixie land.
