80 VETERANS OF
FOREIGN LEGION
[Continucd from First Page.1

lCOntinucd from First Page.
Legion of France" said DR.. Thomas
Lynch Montgomery, state librarian,
this morning.
OF All NationaIities
France. in addition to her con-
script army, has a force of foreign
troops of which the Foreign Legion
is unit. 1t is a permanent part of
the 18th French Army corps and is
a descendent of the famous Irish Bri-
gade of Louis XIV. Its members come
from all parts of the world. Prior
to the war about 25 per cent. were
Germans, mostly deserters from the
frontier garrisons; 25 per cent. were
French; and the balance was made
up of Spaniards, Italians, Turks, Bel
gians. English and Americans.
The legion asks no questions. Men
in its ranks have been known to for
get to answer to their names-which
they had very recently adopted.
The legion consists of two regi-
ments of about 1000 men each. If
he is physically sound almost any
man can join the legion, anywhere
The discipline is just, but very strict.
The legionaires wear the best boots
in the world, but no socks, their feet
being encased in squares of creased
linen, folded. When there is no fight
ing or marching to be done the legion
makes roads. An ordinary days
march is 80 miles; and each man car
ries a 60-pound pack.
y They are bound by an unwritten
law that if ever forced to retreat they
must adopt the sIowest walk possible.
On IL occasions, up until last year,
the legion had refused to obey an
order to retreat. and in each instance
died wherp they stood n he Ia
man.
Suffer Heavy Casualties
"As at present constituted the le-
gion was started in 1881 and since
that year has taken a spendid part
in every war of France. In the en-
gagement at Neuville st. Vast it
was found that only 700 men remain
ed of 1000 who went into the battle"
Harrisburg and the entire Harris
burg Liberty Loan district this morn
ing began buying Liberty Bonds as
a rebuke to the Kaiser of Germany
and his made-in- Germany peace prop
ositien.
Mayor Keister's proclamation of
last night, in which he declared to-
morrow to be Unconditional Sur
render Day." and in which he asked
citizens to buy bonds and stun the
Kaiser. was advanced in effect by the
population, which began to buy its
Unconditional Surrender" bonds to-
day.
Bonds Going Well
Bond sales were moving along
rather well this morning, but there
can be no letup if the city is to buy
its s6,0O0,000 quota. or if the district
is to buy the S10,000.000 worth of
bonds allotted to it.
The grand total for yesterday.
counting outside towns and the city,
homes and Industrial campaign, was
S5'Sl4,S5O, which is only a third of
the district quota of s10,19S,43O.
Sergeant Sets Example
A Liberty Bond purchaser yesterday
was Sergeant Robert S. Cowan, 1Osth
Field Artillery, who. from France,
sent money to his mother Mrs. ].
Frank Cowan, of 214s Green street.
with which to purchase him Liberty.
Bonds.
Bonds to the amount of S12.550 have
been bought by district employees OF
the Bell Telephone and A. T. and p.
Companies.
Connecticut Mutual Life Insu-anco
Company will buy $4,000 worth OF
bonds through the Harrisburg dis
trict.

At the same time the President has
notified the German government that
it's proposed suspension of hostil-
tiles" cannot be granted while a Ger
man soldier remains on Allied soil.
The German government must state
to the world whether 1t will accept
the fourteen terms previously laid
down by President Wilson whole
heartedly or as "a basis for negotia-
tions." which position cannot be con-
sidered by the United States and the
Entente Allies.
The step taken by President will
son has met with the approval of the
American people. Newspaper edi-
torial comment almost universally
commended the move. Congressional
leaders after carefully studying the
communication sent by the President,
praised 1t as a brilliant diplomatic
stroke.
Distinct approval was expected
from the Allied nations.

COOKING AND KEEPING WARM HIS WINTER

Proceeding probable order it is
now predicted from Washington that
Iowa Will be given some anthracite coal,
How much or how little nobody knows
Indeed nobody knows positively wheth-
err Iowa Will be allotted any However il
is known that the fuel administrator is
considering ordering some anthracite to
Iowa. The soft coal department of adj
ministration is said to have promise
Illinois coal to the zone in Iowa.
But along with this announcement
comes another seriously affecting homes
aand business in the middle west. It
is reported that we are 10 be cut off
from gas coal The seriousness of this
proposal is evident City homes where
gas is the main standby for cooking
purposes will have to return TO the
kitchen range That situation approxi
mates the disturbance which an an
tharcite famine will cause. Thousands
of families would have to junk their
gas stoves and procure coal or wood
stoves as it would become necessary
for a great many families who have
been using haseburners to rearrange
their heating facilities and at consider
able expense.
II disturbing changes are to he made
they should be announced early and
once announced be held 10 as closely a.
possible Changed orders and shifts of
plans and policies are disturbing as
well as annoying. OF course it is true
that conditions change ard that orders
must change with them but on such
questions as coal and food those changes
should be announced in good time TO
permit consumers and dealers oppor-
tunity to prepare themselves as well as
possible and at the least expense and
with the least confusion and annoyance.
For instance $1,000. 900 worth Of cooking
ranges demanded at the verge OF winter
in Iowa creates a condition not readily
to be met if it can be met at all
The wise and cautious will begin now
to prepare themselves for possibilities
and probabilities of the coming winter
season. From the present outlook this
winter is to furnish much greater
problem than last-and that seemed
bad enough.

IT'S POTENTIAL TREASON.

Wilson & Co. packers. are under fire
for having supplied sour and moldy
hams to the naval training station at
the Great Lakes. Morris & Co, pack
ers, are accused of buncoing the ma
ton by selling camoufiaged old hens
to the army as chickens. OF course
the companies deny that they old it
and assert that if it were done some
employe is guilty against orders.
II such meats have been foisted on
the government by the packers the
guilty companies should be punished as
severely as the law will permit. The
plea that an employe did it should not
get by. The employees are the packing
company and the packing company got
the crooked profits If such profit were
made.
But the vital point should not be
overlooked in anger over the action al
legged against the packers. Where and
who were the inspectors for the gov
eminent and the army? Why did rot
ten hams get by them? Doesn't gov
eminent inspector know the difference

PAVING A WAY TO BERLIN.

Reports of intense suffering in Aus

| This war has been going on four
wears 1t is easy TO imagine what con-
ditions must be in Austria and even in
Germany where efficiency is gospel.
| During the first years of the war the
people were fed up with dreams of
early victory. They were ignorant OF
the power America could bring into the
war Many of them have lately learned
that America is in the war and some
of them do not know vet. But they do
know they are hungry and poor and
that children and the aged die under
famine They have learned the. the
Germans have been stopped and the
news of the failure of the drive against
Italy which was to furnish loot of food
has failed. Despite the censorship
some news of American preparation
and power must have sifted thru 10 the
more intelligent and better informed,
Also they have learned that they are
fighting Germany's battle. They must
know that Germany takes what she
needs and leaves them nothing. The
manifest between Wilhelm and Charles
| is reflected by all German officers and
| officials in Austria from neid ma rsnais
! down to corporals. Dumb and driven
and broken as the Austrian is he must
have reached a desperate state of mind.
To him in that condition of mind and
luton. The bosheviki movement in
Russia looks to the socialistic Austrian
and to the Austrian peasantry like a
great success. He sees liberty in it
and the uplift of the down-tr odden and
abasement of the rulers and bosses.
And when he gets hungry enough and
desperate enough he is willing to take
a chance. And that chance he takes
when in bodies OF forty thousand ne
begins 10 rior and elay
1t is a fearful condition to contem-
plate. but it is condition that we may
hope to see accumulated because it
means advantage for the right in this
war. Pity for the Starving and ig-
norant masses of Austria starving
while they drag the cannon of their
masters to defend an absolutism Of
| monarchy, Is inevitable but pity is sec
ondary to the hope that conditions will
bring them to revolt in their own de-
Tense and to the collapse of the duel

Well, the Friendly Forest Folk GER
tainly had lovely time listening to
the old organ grinders music, as told
you in the last story. and when he had
played all his tunes over three times
and half, Mr.. Lucky Lefthindfoot
gave him a lettuce hundred dollar bill.
Wasn't that kind of the old gentleman
rabbit? And then Prof Crow took
out his little black book and turned to
page fifty-one and half.
Listen, my dear friends" he said,
and then he began to read aloud:
HE who loves music will ever be true.

To the fife and the drum the soldiers
will come,
Ant, after tina. Old Mother Magpie
perched herself on the old organ and
asked the organ grinder If he had come
from Italy. She was a curious old bird,
you know. and asked every one his
business. But the organ grinder only
said Me no talka da English" and
threw his old organ over his shoulder
and started off toward the Miller cot
tage, which he could just make out
thru the trees.
little Forest Folk returned to their
duties, and the two little rabbits got
into their Luckymobile and drove away.
And by and by they came to a rail-
