David f. Tracy. president of the
Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending
Company and eX-president of the
Chamber of Commerce. has been
appointed a Knight of the Order of
Saint Gregory the Great by Pope
Benedict XIV. This distinguished
honor has come to Mr.. Tracy by
reason of his many useful activities
as a citizen and churchman.
1t is a custom for the head of the
Catholic church to accord a mark
of honor and distinction to Catholic
laymen in different parts of the
world who are of unblemished char
acter and who are deeply interested
in the welfare of the civic commu-
nifty as well as in the progress of
religion In the case of Mr.. Tracy,
Pope Benedict XIV has conferred
upon him the title of the Order of
Saint Gregory the Great.
This honor was instituted by Pope
Gregory XVI in the year 1891. who
placed the order under the patron
age of Saint Gregory the Great, who
was pope at the close of the sixth
century.
Mr.. Tracy belongs to the civil di-
1
of the decoration is entitled to wear
an eight-pointed enamel,d gold cross
in the center of which is a blue me-
dallion on which is impressed in
gold the image of Saint Gregory,
and at the side of the head near the
right ear is dove; in a circle
around the image appears in golden
letters IS Gregorious Magnus." The
badge is the cross of the order sur
rounded with silver rays The rib
bon of the order is red with orange
borders.
Mr. Tracy has had an active part
in all the civic work in Harrisburg
for number of years and in addi-
ton to his fine Chamber of Com
merce record he is always remem-
bered with appreciation by the citi-
zens of Harrisburg for his efficient
work as former president of the
old Board of Public Works. His
friends throughout the city are con-
graduating him to-day upon the
high honor which has come to him
and il is common remark that the
Pope could not have conferred this
distinguished honor upon one more
worthy TO receive it.
The Rt. Rev. A. +. Kaul of Lam
caster. who was ordained to the
priesthood in Lancaster by the first
Bishop Shanahan, has had conferred
upon him the honors of domestic
prelatc, with the rank of monsignor.

E. ]. Stackpole Tells Rotarians
Soldiers He Saw in Camp
Are Anxious to Fight

"The morale of the men in the
training camps is high. Their one
fear is that they may not get to
France in time for part in the war.
They know full we'll what the Hun
has done and why we are in the war
and they are anxious to fight. 1t re-
mains for us at home to do our part,
to keep our spirits up and to do our
utmost to provide everything in
abundance which our soldiers need.
can assure you, after visit to the
camps. that the soldiers are all that
we can ask and that they have their
ewes on us back home and desire
nothing so much as that we do our
fun part; and, that done, who can
doubt the ultimate result?"
Thus L. j. Stackpole. who has just
returned from a visit to the Keystone
/ Division encampment in Georgia,
spoke by way of summing up his
| impressions of that trip in an ad-
dress before the Harrisburg Rotary
| Club at noon to-day in the Y. Nj.

Mr.. Stackpole described at length
I the gruelling training to which the
PENNSYLVANIA boys are being sub
iocted, told how they are living the
life of the soldier in forty miles of
trenches constructed just as the
trenches are in France, how they
use the rifle and the bayonet and
the splendid cooperation between
the Artillery, Engin >aring. Infantry
and other branches or the service.
He said the men are confident of
themselves and of their ability to
win and that they expect the folks
at home to stand solidly behind them.
He read several stanzas from Rud-
yard Kip!ing on Teamwork which
he said was necessary between the
men at the front and those at home
If the war is to be won quickly and
without unnecessary sacrifice:
1t amt guns, nor armament,
Nor funds that they can pay,
But the close cooperation
That makes them win the day.
1t amt the individuals,
Nor the Army as n whole,
But the everlastin' teamwork
OF every bloomin' soul.
Mr.. Stackpole. by invitation of
c. Linford Scott. the superintendent,
will repeat the address before the
men of the Harrisburg Boiler and
Manufacturing Company. at the
plant tomorrow afternoon.
