British Captain Tells
Red Cross Workers Huns
Shame World Conscience

The deeds of horror committed
by the Germans are such as to make
an honest man blush. They have
shamed the conscience of the world
and have made the angels shiver as
they look down upon it. The Ger
mans will not play the game fair.
We are fighting to give the right to
every human being to live and to
live free. We must put our backs
against the wall and fight this thing
through. We must do it in God S
name, for the sake of our women
and children and the women and
children of the world"
Captain Cornelius, of the British
army. thus spoke to an audience of
Red Cross workers who met in con-
ference with Mrs. Lyman d. Gill
bert, president of the Harrisburg
chapter, in Stevens Memorial Meth
odist Church yesterday morning.

hour address on America and the

Blood is on the Democratic moon
in this district over the Congress

1t looked as though the party would
nave no nominee for Congress and
the county chairmen of Lebanon,
Cumberland and Dauphin had a con-
ference regarding the matter. As a
result 1t was announced that Robert
Stucker, well-known laN;er of
this city, would accept the nomina-
ton providing there was no opposi-
ton at the primary and that he
would be given the organization sup
port. over 500 names were signed
to his paper in the three counties,
but almost at the last hour of the
last day for filing nomination papers
petition was submitted with the
name of H. II. Mercer, a Mechanics
burg lawyer.
1t developed that National Chair
man Mccormick objected to Sucker
and was instrumental in having MIR.
Mercer brought into the field. I'm
der the circumst ances, Mr. Sucker
declined to have his paper filed. as
he had only agreed to become a
candidate in order to fill the place
in the ticket.
Many Democrats are resentful
and will show their feeling in the
primary election tomorrow.

the only fight of any concern in

morrow. Here Clark NJ. Bower, of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Laverty Asks Support

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Kindly give publicity to the
following explanatory open let
ter. Some folks are looking
askance at my independent can
didacy for the Legislature and
are asking me why l do not
have the endorsement of the
ratification committee. AS all
my friends know l have always
used my franchise for the dry
cause ever since l was twenty
one. Secondly, 1 was not con-
suited by letter or in aEy way
as to my position on the liquor
question by the committee or
invited to any of it's meetings,
although they knew l was a dry
candidate. Thirdly, w. A. Law
erty, chairman of the Ninth
ward for the committee, my
father, was never notified of
the meeting at which the drys
were to be endorsed. This in
spite of the fact that he and
I worked up the Ninth ward
for the committee and urged all
uiAA SSASiSAT W men " enron IOr
the primaries. The committee
did not give me a square and
equal deal with the other dry
men. Hence, l am running with
out their endorsement, though I
would gladly have had it. In
feeling the public pulse in my
advertising work I find that
nine-tenths of the voters favor
the dry cause, and I feel conf
dent that my friends will rally
to my support on Tuesday.
Sincerely yours.
