ATTENTION PAID TO SPORTS
What Games Have Been Permitted
and Encouraged Have Been
Helpful in Training.

Some people are beginning TO think
that the army is paying a little too
much attention to sports, but they
are people who are not very sympa-
thetic with sports anyway.
The fact of the matter is that so
far as the records that have come to
my attention disclose no American
army officer has permitted sports to
interfere with the regular military re-
quirements of training. or otherwise,
says writer in Milwaukee Sentinel.
What sports have been permitted and
encouraged have been helpful to that
purpose.
OF course now that prominent base
hall PLAYERS are getting into the army,
that game has attracted more atten-
ton, and there are those who think
that it has been given too much promi'
nence. They simply are worrying
about something that is not, and some
thing that ought not TO scare them.

CAN'T CATCH BASEBALL

Elevator Rules Take
Joy From Lives of
Many by Long Delays

Many a tenant of the Harrisburg
office buildings had the joy taken out
OF life this morning when his eleva-
tor man instead of greeting him with
his usual good morning" informed
him that he would have to walk to
his second floor office hereafter.
First Stop Third Floor is the little
sign on the elevator cage in the Of
flee buildings that makes tenant
think seriously of moving his office
to the third floor.
Another angle of the elevator re-
strictions that eXasperated the busi-
ness men was the ruling that the
elevator cannot move until loaded
to half it's capacity. Instead of rush
ing in the elevator and being whirred
to his office on the siXt floor, the
business man who arrived little
late this morning had to stand and
fume while the elevator operator
waited for load equal to half the
capacity of his elevator. Tonight
will find the men who want to work
overtime walking up the stairs to
their offices and carrying their own
candles.
In some of the buildings it was re-
ported that letter carriers on the up
per floors were compelled to wait and
lost much time, because of the delay
in getting sufficient number of per-
sons going to lower floors. Others
said they had been compelled to wait
at least five minutes before the ele-
vators came for them. Elderly per-
sons calling at business places on the
second floors of buildings also com
planned that they found it difficult to
walk as in the majority of buildings
the first floor is much higher than the
other ones and as a result more steps
must be aseended.

After wait of thirty-three days

COMMUNITY SONG
UNITS URGED FOR
PERIOD OF WAR
Plan Works Most Successfully
in Other Cities Where Big
Crowds Congregate

Community singing is becoming a
nationwide movement as result
of the war. Harrisburg has had q
large part in this interesting devei-
opment.
In Philadelphia there has been
growing upone feature of the singing
which should appeal to the singers
of this city. In a single block of
that city twenty-three men have
gone into the service and somebody
suggested getting together once q
week and singing patriotic songs in
honor of the boys who had gone out.
An adjoining block where seventeen
boys had responded to the colors
felt that these boys should also be
honored in the same way and as a
result in n short time several blocks
had combined for community sing
ing in honor of the soldiers. and
once a week there is singing in diff
ferent parts of Philadelphia where
organizations have been perfected,
the meetings being held at given
points where the singing of patrio-
tic songs express the sentiments OF
the people.
An incident of each weekly song
fest is a brief address and report
lTOHl the bOyS WHO enllSleu lEOnl IilS
particular neighborhood. In one
case young soldier of the vicinity
who had remained with his wounded
comrades until they could be carried
back was the hero of the occasion.
Would Work Here
1t has been suggested that some
of the competent community singers
of Harrisburg might get together and
arrange for neighborhood singing
organizations of the character indi-
Gated. These organizations coul1
cover several neighborhood blocks
and meet once a week at central
point. In Philadelphia a cornetist
usually leads the singing.
The Telegraph would be glad to
give any assistance in this matter
that is possible and as little in the
way of expense is involved 1t ought
to be. an easy matter to interest the
singers of all parts of Harrisburg
in community organizations. Per-
haps the open space about school
buildings would be most convenient
for such gatherings once a week on
a nigh| specified.
What section of the city will be
first in thts patriotic effort to honor
the boys and keep the home fires
burning?"

BolSheviki Forces Withdraw
in Front of Advancing
Allied Host
By Associated Prcss

London, July 15.-American and
British troops have Occupied the whole
of the Murman coast, in Northern
Russia, says a dispatch from Mos
COW to the Central News Agency by
way of Amsterdam.
After capturing KEN, a railroad
station on the White Sea coast, the
dispatch adds, the American and
British forces advanced toward To-
roki, the Russian BolsheViki author
tiles having withdrawn to Nirok.
the commanders of the entente
allied forces have issued an appeal
to the population on the Murman
coast requesting help against Ger
many and Finland. 1t is declared
the Murman coast is Russian terri
tory under the protection of the en-
tente powers.
Germans Outwitted
Al the express request of the Rus
slams considerable allied forces now
are on the Murman coast, which is
on the Arctic ocean to the extreme
north of Russia. On this coast there
are several harbors which are free
from ice all the year round and are
connected by rail with Petrograd.
More forces are being sent and the
the troops which haye already arriv-
ed to defend these railways.
Meanwhile the Germans are MAX
ing a desperate attempt to secure the
control of the Murman coast. They
need the harbors for submarine
bases now that Zeebrugge has been
closed and Ostend rendered of little
value while the British mine fields
make 1t ever more difficult for their
submarines to reach the Atlantic.
The total German force in Russia
is thirty-two German and fifteen
Austrian divisions. composed mainly
of old and inferior men. This force
Is spread over vast area from Pet
rograd to the Black Sea.
In Finland, threatening the Muir
man railway the Germans have rath-
er more than division but the bulk
of this body is in the south and not
easily within reach of the Murman
railway. The railway may, however
be attacked by airplanes.

the manufacture of war supplies

appeal is warranted by the cir
