Thirteenth Ward to
Float Service Flag
For Its Men in Army

Businessmen and residents in the
Thirteenth ward have contributed a
sufficient fund to purchase a large
service flag in honor of the men
from that district of the city who
have entered army service and are
now either in training camps in the
United States or on the firing line in
France. Compared with other dis
tricts of the city the ward has con-
tributed a proportionate share of
man power for the United States
Army and some of the boys have al
ready been mentioned in letters home
for bravery
The fund for the flag has been
given to William T. Hollands, 1917
Derry street, who will purchase one
as soon as he ascertains how many
men from the ward are in service.
He has made an appeal that parents,
wives and friends of soldiers furnish
him with the names addresses and
units of all men in = ward who are
in any branch of the army, navy or
marines. so that the total number
can be determined. AS soon as this is
done the flag will be purchased and
fioated at Nineteenth and Derry
streets.
The Thirteenth ward boundary is
Rudy street on the north and Rudy
street extended; east by Poorhouso
Road; south by Philadelphia and
Reading railway and west by a line
1S0 feet east of Eighteenth street.
All persons residing within this dis
trict who know of men from that
section who are in service are re-
quested by 4Er. Hollands to furnish
the names to him at once.

MANY AIRPLANES ARE
BEING SENT TO FRANCE

Washington, Aug. 3I.-American
troops brigaded with the British and
French forces are being withdrawn
as rapidly as possible to join the First
American field army under General
Pershing, General March said to-day
in his weekly conference with mem
bers of the Senate military commit
tee.
The chief of staff threw no new
light on the part Americans are
playing in the present offensive, but
the impression was given that the
program of concentrating the Army
for action under General Pershing
was going forward satisfactorily.
General March said the last figures
on men actually landed abroad show
ed 10000 in France on August Z.
Several hundred thousand have been
landed since then, however, and last
week General March announced that
the number embarked had passed
100000.
Shipment of De Haviland airplanes
which were temporarily held up on
order of Secretary Baker, so certain
changes could be made in thcm,
General March said, were resumed
this week.
Reports received up to to-day by
the War Department show that L.
003 De Haviland planes had been
completed and made ready to turn
over to the government this week,
and 765 had been shipped or were
already enroute overseas.
The general reiterated that the
lighting on the western front is 60
ig satisfactorily to the Allies.

BOTH RAILWAYS
COMPANIES WILL
INCREASE FARES
Harrisburg Rates to Be Six
Cents; Valley, Seven; Eff
fective October 1

Increases in fares on all Harris
burg Railways Company lines from
hVe to six cents, and on all Valley
Railways Company lines from five to
seven cents, both effective October
L. were announced to-day. Notices
of these changes in tariffs have been
filed by attorneys for the companies,
with the Public Service Commission.
In making the advance in fares Of
ficials of the two car companies give
as reasons the constant advance in
the cost of materials with the neces-
sary wage increases for employees in
order to maintain sufficiently large
working force to man the street
cars.
Attorneys for the Harrisburg COM
pany to-day filed a new tariff with
the Public Service Commission in
creasing the initial fare from five
to six cents and making certain
changes in existing rates for carrying
freight and shipped packages. I'm
der the new tariff the transfer priv
ileges remain as before and there is
no change in the transfer points.
Announcement of the proposed in
crease was made at the company's
offices to-day just before the new
tariff, which becomes effective on
thirty days notice. was filed with
the commission.
For several months past the neces-
sity of an increase was pointed out
by officials of the company, but II
was only recently that definite con-
clusion was reached and attorneys
given instructions to prepare the
necessary papers.
In. commenting on the company's
action, President Frank b. Musser
pointed out that the increase was
made reluctantly by the directors of
his company Ever advancing costs
of materials and the increases in the
wages of the men made necessary
by the high living costs and increased
taxes are given as the reasons for the
