With the British Army in France, Aug. 26, (By the Associated Press )- The idea of change Of form in the government of Germany seems to oc- cupy a place in the thoughts of many German soldiers, judging from the re- marks made by prisoners. A Baden soldier said he and his comrades had had more war than they wanted and hoped that as soon as the war was over Baden would become an inde- pendent republic
 More Alsatians have been captured by the British. One of them said he had refused for three years to enter the German army. He finally was dragged in by force and since then has been mostly in the front lines.

large numbers. Approximately $50
men could secure employment with
this concern. Three hundred men
can find work as mechanics and first
helpers at the open hearth. while
over 200 unskilled laborers are need

These are only few of Harris

ployment can easily be found in
practically every essential industry
in Harrisburg, although few clerical
positions are open. Students and
girls are filling many of these po-
sitions.
In addition to the war and other
essential industries of Harrisburg
employment can easily be found in
surrounding farming districts. There
the farmers need help badly. Few
If any, of them can secure helr

length of fighting line held by each
weapon Bethlehem guns now hold
