BISHOP WRITES
NEW WAR POEM
Rt. Rev. James HI. Darlington
Contributes Verse on
Air Raids

Bishop James H. Darlington, of
the Harrisburg diocese of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church. has re-
Gently completed writing a poem en-
titled The Night Raid" The story
is taken from an aerial raid on u
large city at night. The poem fol-
lows:
The zeppelins came through the
midnight sky,
Weep, weep for the pity.
They rained down death where they
hung on high
You knew not whether to hide or
fly,
When walls were falling, what use
to try?
Best say your prayers and prepare
to die,
Farewell to your friends. to all
"Good-by,"
Weep, weep for the city.
Wee children had said their evening
prayer,
Sob, sob for sorrow
Mothers had also knelt with them
there
And tucked them into their cribs
with care,
hlSSiIi6 SelSh LOA OF
fair.
But when like thunder bombs burst
in air
In a moment all was changed to
dispair,
Sob, sob for the morrow.
In hospitals lay the i'll and weak,
God punish the plotters.
Many so weak they could not speak,
With achfpp forms and nutlid cheek
Watched ever by the nurses meek;
Who woke to die, mid shell fire
shrek
TO crafty a monarch's pique.
God judge the rotters.
God bless the surgeons who stood to
their post
All lights forbid, even candles;
They were present where-er they
were needed most
And would not flee though the flames
might roast;
When invaders came from foreign
coast;
But laughed with contempt at their
cruel boast
The doctor heroes" I pledge you
God punish the vandals.
Twas morning soon and the danger
was past
Thank God for living.
The harpies of blood had left our
shore
With murders many to their score,
Our streets all splashed with chill
dren's gore,
Zen pirates would such deed abhor,
Make us forgiving.
JAMES H. DARLINGTON,
Bishop of Harrisburg.

HUSKY RAILROAD
MEN KNOW WHAT
TOBACCO MEANS
Smokes Campaign Was One
of Heartiest Undertaken
in United States

Why did the employees of the
Pennsylvania Railroad contribute a
fund of $4,000 to supply with to-
bacco their former comrades who
worked for the Pennsy? Why didn't
they send money for chewing gum,
adhesive plaster, or ice cream
When this fund was subscribed, and
it came in like whirlwind, no one
knew precisely how many P. r. r.
railroaders there were with Perish
ing's expedition. But did they tarry
to find out? Nixerino. The whole
big army of workers got together
and said Let's give all we can" and
that's why the American. railroaders
in France are the only Yanks who
are assured of steady supply of the
weed.
Railroaders are not inclined to be
demonstrative. Their work is too
perilous. Little has been said about
this important gift, because railroad
men must concentrate on their par
ticular lob. But that tobacco and
nothing else was what the boys in
France would want these Industrial
workers knew and they went to It.
The ratlroader himself usually
him in his dangerous occupation the
same as It does the man in the
trench. If tobacco has no injurious
effect upon the highly trained, ef-
ficient American railroader, certain
ly 1t is not going to degenerate the
Sammie in the trench, as some carp
ing critics seem to fear.
General Is Pleased
Brigadier General w. w. After
Of FRA nSn0rtl l.
tion for the American Army In
France, has written to the railroad
ers:
''I want to congratulate the en-
ployes Of the Pennsylvania railroad
who, are doing their bit at home to
help us here in France, for the splen-
did way, they have responded in THIS
very laudable undertaking. Ameri-
can tobacco is very scarce over mere
and Is in great demand, and / know
that all of our employees with the
American Expeditionary Forces will
be very glad to receive such sub
stantial reminder from their friends
and fellow workers at home"
If the hard working railroader can
spare something to lend comfort to
his comrades abroad can't you, MT
Smoker, give a coin, however small
for the fighting American who Is
risking his life for you and yours
The quick way to furnish this kind
of relief Is to send your contribution
directly to the Telegraph which will
promptly forward 1t to the fund.-
headquarters. Even rs cents worth
will bring joy to the heart of some
soldier, for this buys nearly twice 1ts
value in tobacco. Take a smokeleSS
day for yourself and do your bit fol
the Soldiers Smoke Fund. Give like
the railroaders.

EXPLAINS RULING AGAINST
 KILLING OF POULTRY
Licensed Dealers Forbidden to Kill or
 Sell For Slaughter.

In view of the approach of the Pass over season and it's strict restrictions on food eaten by Jews. the Food ad fninistration has issued the following explanation of the prohibition against killing poultry:
 "rrhe licensee shall not. between Feb- ruary Il. 1918 and April 30 1918, pur- chase, ship. sell or negotiate the sale of any live or freshly killed hens or bullets, however, that this shall not prevent tIG purchase, shipment or sale between February Ii and February 23, 1918. of hens or bullets which were either killed or shipped prior to Feb7 ruary II. 1918, to markets for sale as food. and provided further that noth- ing in this rule shall prevent the pur- Ahase, shipment or sale of live hens or bullets for egg production purpos- es.'
 This means tHat licensed dealers in chickens are foEnidden to lii1 or sell for slaughter. This rule does not ap- ply to roosters CT to broiler chickens weighing two pounds or less. The rule does not apply to any but licensed dealers: that is, unlicensed dealers may kill or sell for slaughter chickens or roester; of any size or weight, but after feeding them throughout the winter, the Food administration urges that they be kept now that the egg laying season has arrived.
