THE HEROISM OF MERCY
BY oPIE READ.

THERE is no greater heroism than the heroism Of
mercy. There is truer bravery than the bravery
Of tenderness. Out Of the crash Of nation against
nation arises Z Chrsit-like sympathy, and the in
sigma of its tenderness is the cross of red It is the
only remaining glow of Christian hope. Il is re-
Egon under shell fire. It is sign set to the music
Of sympathetic action. If a man who speaks truth
should say to you, with the use Of five dollars you
can save useful life, alleviate a hundred nights Of
PAIN you would grant him the money. You would
not feel that you had lost, but gained.
This is what the Red Cross says to you: "Glve Of
your safe and secure substance and vii soothe pain
viii gather up men, heroes who have been shot to
the earth, and housing them viii nurse them back
to life For myself ask no reeompense. Ny reward

Soldiers Help in Packing
Gifts For Refugees

Harrisburg approximately has
given o tons of clothing to be sent
to the refugees of Belgium and
France. Her quota is twenty tons.
To-day is the closing one of the cam
paign. In order to reach her full
quota and hold her record among the
highest ranks of Red Cross cities,
Harrisburg must contribute five tons
of clothing to-day. This appeal comes
from the chairman of the Belgian
clothing campaign.
Approximately four tons of cloth
ing were sent to the Atlantic port
this morning under the direction of
William Strouse. Mrs. w. G.. Gipple,

ARMY OF 1865
MEN REPRESENTS
DAUPHIN AT WAR
Harrisburg Men in Every
Branch of the National
Service

Approximately 5,665 Harrisburg
and Dauphin county boys are in the
service of Uncle Sam
These Harrisburg and county boys
in the short space of a year and a
half of war have been taken from
their homes and scattered over the
four corners of the earth, all doing
their bit for their country and Dem
ocracy. '..
Besides this number, there are
uncounted dozens in the army, navy
and marines, who own Harrisburg
and surrounding points as their
home, but who answered the call to
duty from points located in every
part of the country. Along with the
boys who entrained in Harrisburg
and the county, they are adding to
the wealth of Valor that will be re-
ported to the credit of Dauphin
county cities, towns and hamlets
when the history of the war is re-
corded.
In addition there are the intrepid
youths who entered the officers
training camps, and now are leading
the manhood of America in the
vanguard of Allied armies. There
are dozens of others serving in high
capacities, among them the highly
trained experts who have been com
missioned and are serving in every
field of war endeaVor.
The men are not the only children
of the city and county to wear the
nations uniform. The local naval re-
cruiting station has sent two yeo-
women into the navy. They are Miss
Agnes Gallagher and Miss Nellie
Sellers, of Steelton. Both were en-
ployed formerly at Swartz, Umber-
ger & Swartz, 10S North Second

Good Weather Promised For

The weatherman promises fair
weather for tomorrow afternoon,
and good weather is all that is needed
to insure an enormous crowd for
Reservoir Park at 3 o'clock when a
Liberty Loan mass meeting will be
held in front of the band pavilion.
The presence of the Rev. DR.. Rob-
ert Bagnell, of Grace Methodist
Church, who will tell of what he
saw behind the lines in France, is
in addition to DIR. Bagnell the ia
nous ALIEN Squad" OF the United
States Army, carrying complete over
seas equipment, will be at the park
and will give an exhibition drill. The
squad is in Reading to-day.
In addition to the squad and DR..
Bagnell there will be a chorus of
sixty voices under the direction of
C. l.. Scott, and the Municipal Band
will play.
The band will leave it's headquar-
ters, Market near Third. at 2.40. It
is urged that citizens generally "tall
in" behind the band; and if this is
done there will be quite a sizable
procession long before. the band
reaches the park.
Some folks imagined tomorrow s
mass meeting is for Liberty Loan
workers, or something like that. The
meeting is for patriotic citizens of
Harrisburg-and there are $4,000
of them.

Up to the Folks at Home,
Writes Army Officer

The following excerpt from a letter
to q relative in this city from an Of
ficer of hign rank with the American
Expeditionary Forces is timely, II,
view of the fact that the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign is now on:
THE morale of the men is fine and
it is a rare thing to hear a conr-
plant from any one, which is mighty
inspiring. My sincere hope is that
as the war continues this same fine
home folks will deprecate a prema-
ture peace, or all that has gone De-
fore will be for nought. Permit RE
TO say that the temper of the home
folks has an astounding influence
upon the soldier man over here, and
the knowledge that the people of the
U. S. A. arc backing them to the
limit is most stimulating to them" ="

effort to check the Americans.

day and the advance at some
points has been more than
two and one-half miles. The
attack is being made by the
Belgian army and is on the
larger part of their front
south from the North Sea.
One thousand prisoners have
been counted.
Marshal Foch is putting the
Germans on the western trout to
the most severe test of the war.
On four important sectors from
Nerdun to the North sea Allied
troops are fighting their way into
and beyond. the Hindenburg
line.
Smashing attacks are being
delivered by the British and
Belgians north of Ypres, by the
British and Americans before
Cambria, by the French north
of the Aisne and by the French
and Americans in Champagne
and to the east. On all fronts
the allied soldiers are meeting
with success.
Cambrai About to Fall
Cambrai, it would appear is about
to fall. The British having cap
tured the important height of Bour-
: lon wood, are reported beyond Fon-
taine, Notre Dame and Sally within
one and three-quarter miles of
Cambria Southwest of Cambria the
British are fighting toward the i'm

on the north the Belgian and
British armies are penetrating the
Htndenburg line on n front of more
than ten miles from Ypres to north
of DiXmude. At some points the
attack, begun Saturday morning, al
ready has resulted in an advance of
more than two and one-half miles.
The Allied troops have penetrated
important positions of the Houth-
ulst forest, German possession of
which had stayed previous attempts
to advance south of the Belgian
coast. This operation apparently is
directed toward the German sub
marine bases in Belgium and the
outflanking of the Bastion of Lille.
Franco-American Advance
The Franco-American drive west
and east of the Argonne to the
Meuse continues successfully. The
French have moved their line for
ward west of the Argonne forest and
captured important positions on their
western flank. East of the Argonne
the Germans are fighting desperately
to hold the Brunhilde positions but
the Americans are progressing at
several points.
In the last three days the British,
French. Americans and BclgIans
have taken more than $1,000 pris-
Oners.
Foe Hit I'm East
Serbian and other Allied forces
in Macedonia are pursuing the dis
organized Germans and Bulgarians.
The Serbians captured Veles with
its garrison and are moving toward
the great enemy base of Uskub, 25
miles northwest. From Ishtib the
Serbians are marching toward the
Bulgarian border, and have passed
east of 'Kochana, 4 miles from the
frontier.
