mother really forgot her till just after the
guests had arrived and they were all seated
on the porch before lunch was announced.

sixteen small kiddies of about her own age,

say, the porchful of guests set up one
shrek Of unholy joy, while mother re-
quested the small but unexpected guests
to return to their homes and families.

Statesmen Discuss Approach
and Securing Audience

The meeting of the Salesmanship
Club in the assembly room of the
y. NJ. c. a. was so interesting last
evening that the lights had to be
turned out before the statesmen We're
ready to leave the hall.
This club is not making much
noise, but doing a good work in a
quiet way educating statesmen in
every line of business so that they
may be more efficient for the house
they represent and enhancing their
own earning power. The paper "Ap-
proach and Audience" and the ques-
tionnaire was under the direction of
Anton Benson. of the Harrisburg
Telegraph, with c. II. Hunter, man.
ager of the Elliott Fisher Company,
as presiding officer. This was the
sixth lesson in the practical course in
salesmanship prepared by Norval A.
Hawkins, of the Worlds Salesman
ship Congress. The address and ques-
tionnaire is assigned to a different
member of the club at each meet
ing.
The subject last evening covered
the preparation a salesman must
make before he secures the inter
view with the prospective buyer. The
next subject will be Sizing Up the
Buyer" This question will be dis
cussed at the meeting to be held
Friday evening, February %.
ON March s, the club will have
election of officers and the annual
banquet.

GERMANS USE
DOGS TO FIGHT

[Continued from First Pagc.1
ed in official reports for their spirit
and GOODNESS.
Accompanied by two privates the
corporals left a large patrol in n
certain place in an abandoned
trench in No Mans Land last mid
night and went onto the German
lines. They first found a smooth
wire barrier which had been shot to
pieces by the American fire. Fifteen
yards further on they came upon
German entanglements of wire
twenty feet deep with four-pointed
barbs.
The men were inspecting an open-
ing in the wire when a dog, appar-
emily chained on the other side, be-
gan to bark. A dugout door opened
quickly in trench and a gruff voice
was heard to say "fertig." meaning
ready. Suddenly a brilliant rocket
went up and the Americans threw
themselves fiat on the ground Just
as machine gun began to spit bull
lets in their direction. A bomb hurl-
ed from the German Trench landed a
foot away.
The corporals stayed where they
were for some time and listened to
the German soldiers talk among
themselves. After the Germans re-
tired again to their dugouts the
smaller patrol rejoined the large
one, which soon after was the target
for fifteen or twenty German shells,
but no one was hit.

GERMAN ALIENS
GIVEN 4 DAYS OF
GRACE TO ENROLL
Registration of Enemies Light
Here; Details Under
Censorship

Late to-day word was received by
the Harrisburg Police Department
that the registration of Germany
enemy aliens will be continued until
Wednesday, February 13. The regis
tration was to have closed at s
O'Clock tonight, but the new ruling
extends the time four days.
The registration of German aliens
has been exceedingly light, consider
ably less than expected by the police.
The government censorship pro-
hibits the police giving publicity to
the registration, but it is understood
the number is very small.
Police believe that the number of
alien German enemies in the city is
small owing to the fact that most
Germans upon their arrival here took
steps to naturalize themselves. They
stated that the number of unnatural
lzed Austrians is very much larger
than the number of Germans Aus
trians, however, need not enroll.
After the closing of the registra-
ton at s o'clock Wednesday night,
any unnaturalized German found
without a registration card on his
person will be subject to immediate
arrest and imprisonment. Police are
firm in their opinion that after the
registra ton, alien enemies who did
not register will be reported to the
police by patriotic American neigh
hors.
\ number of registration papers
are in the hands of German aliens.

COAL SHORTAGE
STILL SERIOUS
Modification in Effect To-
morrow Affects Local
Shippers; Penalties

In spite of reassuring reports re-
garding the movement of coal
trains, and the relaxing of the
weather severity for two days, Har-
risburg is still in the midst of an
extreme coal shortage. While the
shortage is not as acute as it has
been at times during the winter,
still many of the dealers are with
out coal.
A small amount of bituminous
coal came into Harrisburg yester-
day Little or no anthracite coal
has been shipped into Harrisburg
yesterday or to-day. A few of the
dealers reported this morning that
they have received shipments of BIZ
luminous coal to-day. The Cham
Der of Commerce investigator is
taking care of emergency calls, and
there is little or no suffering in the
city,
With a renewal of winter weather
conditions again to-day dealers are
once more confronted with the
problem OF delivering their meager
coal supply over almost impossible
streets. The sheeting of ice that
covered the entire city to-day made
traffic by horse-drawn vehicles
harder to-day than it has been fofr
days. Many of the dealers are four
or five days behind schedule in de-
liveries, and even fuel commission
orders are not delivered in many
cases until two days after they are
received by the dealers.
Difhcult delivery conditions have
caused the dealers to give more con-
sideration to the Central Coal Bu-
reau plan, which would eliminate
much unnecessary team and truck
travel for the dealers. The COM
mittee appointed from the Retail
Coal Dealers Association to perfect
plans for inaugurating the bureau
here has written to Youngstown,
Ohio, where a similar bureau is in
operation, for information on how
to establish one here. Following
receipt of the information, a meet
ing of the dealers will be called
here and the project will be put
before the members for acceptance.

Other Counties to

Dauphin countians, who have been
living in hopes of appointment to va

in various departments of the state
government, were Jared to-day by
reports that some places are to be
used to care for men now in other de-
partments who may be dismissed or
given to adherents of Central Penn
sylvania leaders to "equalize" patron
age. One of the century-old COM
plants has been that there are too
many Dauphin, Cumberland and Leba-
non men. A list of Harrisburg men to
be dismissed has been made up Il
couple of times the last few months.
and the latest is said to have been in
charge of Edward c. First, of the De-

Charles H. Loomis, a graduate of
Technical High school, and Lebanon
Valley College, and widely known
because of his athletic ability, is
now in service in FRANCE with Base
Hospital No. "a, American Expedi-
tioary Forces.
Mr.. Loomis played on the Leban-
on Valley football team for four
years and was captain of the basket
ball team one year. He enlisted early
last year and was sent to France
several months ago. One of his first
letters to a friend in this city fol-
lows:
I'VE have been in our present
quarters for n little while now, al
though it is not our permanent base.
So we are still waiting to move to
the place at which we will set up our
base and do our real work.
Anxious to Go to France
1T is hard to realize that l am
now somewhere in France Just
previous to our departure from
Camp Mills, l was beginning to des-
pair of ever getting here, so l tried
that 1 would be in Harrisburg for
Christmas and started to make
plans accordingly. Whe we did leave
Hampstead not many of us new
whether we were going to another
camp or emhark-the former SEEM
ed more plausible. But when we
went aboard an overseas boat, l saw
my dreams of all summer begin to
materialize.
There was nothing of special
note about the voyage. AS far as
the weather and ocean were con-
cerned, conditions were ideal. Our
sleeping quarters were, of necessity,
more crowded than would have been
on a pleasure trip, but one would
naturally expect that. Gossip has it
that we sighted submarines but you
could not prove it by me.
Nevertheless l was glad when
we landed, and I think that feeling
was shared by most everybody. At
this point we began series of eX-
periences with European train trav-
ell in war times and visits to English
and French camps. 1t was quite
novel but not exactly enjoyable.
Therefore it was some relief to
reach our present location. AS far
as living conditions are concerned,
they are ideal. The barracks is a
palace in comparison to the tents at
Camp Mills, and our food is better
than 1 had hoped for on this side.
OF course we are not feasting and
all sweet stuff as well as butter is
not to be had, but at present there
is little danger of starvation.
There are two things that would
make life more enjoyable. To get
down to our actual work which
would take some of this monotony
out Of life, and then to receive some
mail. l am hoping that mail will
soon come with some regularity. All
outgoing mail is censored which fact
takes quite a bit of pleasure out of
writing. l am forbidden to give a
description of this town and the
large chateau which is located here.
Our surroundings are very interest
ing and l have seen many things
about which L have read before"
