City Is Asked to Aid
Soldiers in Letter From
Officers Training Camp

A letter just received by Benjamin
Strouse, 1882 North Second street,
from his son, Milton, who is in the
Central officers Training Camp, at
Camp Gordon, Ca, contains an ap-
peal for the United War Work Cam
paign. Mr.. Strouse is ward leader of
the Twelfth ward in the present
drive. The letter follows:
Don't think that because 1t looks
as though the war is over that we
will all come home at once. l will
continue right on with the course
and plans are fully made to run the
school for six months, taking in l.
500 men every month.
There will be an army of occupa-
tion and 1t will be composed mostly
of new men; so you see my army
career mag be longer than you or 1
anticipated. am not telling you this
to discourage you, but to let you
know the real facts.
That is a strong point for the
United War Work Campaign. These
institutions must be kept up as they
will have plenty of work to do for
several years.
THE work of these institutions is
wonderful and If the people at home
really knew what comfort they are
to the boys. they would not hesitate
to give. They are the chief places for
diversion and the only places to write
letters. Anybody who has one of the
family in the service ought to give
their utmost and those who have
not any ought to give in order to
provide amusement for the boys. So
go to 1t and raise all you can because
you are helping me and everybody
else"

Huns Appeal to Foch
Blasting by American engineers in
a road repairing detachment caused
the German high command to send
a message to the Allied high COM
mand on Monday afternoon contend
ing that the Americans had not
ceased hostilities on November IL.
The message sent by wireless to
the Allied high command was timed
2 p. m. and read:
'On the front of Stenay- Beaumont
along the Mouse, Americans con-
tinue despite conclusion of armistice.
Please order the stopping of hostili-
ties"
The American answer to the Ger
man message follows:
Received your radio. Orders have
been given for the American activi-
ties signaled on the Stenay- Beau
mont front to cease Immediately"
So the engineers did not blast dur
ing the remainder of Monday after
noon. Early this morning, however,
they resumed their blasting.
Approximately $500 tons of shells
were fired into the German lines in
period of nine hours by the Ameri-
can artillery when General Per-
shing's troops resumed their often
siye on November 1.
According to artillery experts, the
bombardment by the American guns
consumed twenty-nine trainloads of
ammunition in the nine-hour period.
1t is estimated that each train con-
sisted of thirty cars of the type used
on the French railroads, each car
having capacity of about ten tons.

Dempsey a Real Fighter

1t took the humiliating defeat
of Battling" Levinsky by way of
a knockout, to place the final
stamp of approval on the tistic
prowess of Jack" Dempsey. If
there were those who doubted the
genuineness of his amazing clean
up of big Fred Fulton, then his
latest and perhaps his most brill
liant ring achievement in knocking
out the clever Hebrew in three
rounds, cannot be lightly lapghed
off as another "one of those things"
Jack" Dempsey is pretty good.
They'll have to kowtow TO that as
sertion. Battling" Levinsky was
just about as masterful a defensive
fighter as was Freddie" Welsh. 1t
didn't seem that human fists would
ever bring him down for the count
There was so much of cunning and
ring craft in his every move that
heavyweights. good, bad and in
different. were outwitted every
time this smallest of the heavy
weights put up his hands. Levinsky
was never a great fighter in the
sense that he was a knocker-out
or tremendously aggressive. He
was a wonderfully clever defensive
warrior. as clever man in that
respect in his class as Welsh was
in his.
He may have been on the down
grade. There is little doubt of
that, but the fact remains that for
nine years he has looked knock
out wallops right between the eyes
and never failed to bob up serene
ly.
his time that wouldn't have gloried
in stopping Battling" Levinsky
for the simple reason that it would
have meant a real mark of dis
junction to have been able to print
the magic X. o. before his name.
Dempsey is the only man to have
accomplished it.
Some of the ancient and honor
able Quaker fans hint that Le-
whisky was once knocked out when
fighting under the name of Bar
ney Williams. That didn't matter.
If it did transpire then 1t was in
the days of his pugilistic infancy.
Not since Battling" Levinsky
moved into select fighting with
"Dan" Morgan as his mentor. has
Levinsky been stopped. Dempsey
turned the trick, and with such
dispatch and crushing force that
the near-heavyweight champions
who have been barking over the
fence at him must be experiencing
a sneaky funny little feeling
creeping over them. Jack" Demp-
sey can fight. He settled that ar
gument all by himself. He is en-
titled to all the big things that
have been said of him. Even John
the Barber" will have to admit
that.
The first remark that Dempsey
made after tucking Mister Lee
Whisky away for the evening was
that he was going right after the
others that had been pestering him
in the way of challenges. Jack"
added, with little or no flourish,
that by the time he had cleaned up
the whole bunch the chances were
they'd realize that he was fighter.
Wen allow that If Jack" isn't
he has a lot of the mannerisms of
a real Jack" Dempsey. Just a
youngster. he seems certain Of
cleaning the heavyweight title by
simply punching his way to the
top. He is of the Ketchel type. the
sort of a chap that ye goode olde fan
loves to see in action. Jack"
Dempsey seems to have a fortune
within his grasp for the very ask
ing.

HORSE ACADEMY PLAYS ATORS TODAY AT HOME
Tech Expects Toughest Game
Of Season With Greensburg

Many of the Tech students will ac-
company the football team to
Greensburg, Saturday. The team will
leave Harrisburg, Friday at 1.45.
Most of the rooters will leave early
Saturday morning. On the Island
yesterday afternoon Dan" kohlman
put in an appearance for the first
time this season. He Will get into the
Greensburg contest at an end posi-
ton, and his presence will add much
to the teams strength.
Tony" Wilsbach is suffering from
a badly bruised right shoulder and
may be unable to get into the
Greensburg fray. He would be sadly
missed on the defense where he is a
tower of strength. Coach Smith
showed the players the weaknesses
that developed in Saturdays game.
Only signal practice was held. Tech
will have its hardest game of the
season with the Westmoreland coun-
tians. Reports from Greensburg are
to the effect that the Brown and
White eleven is again strong.
"ParIez vous? Surc!"

Tech High, one big innovation is the
placing of women teachers in the
faculty. Mrs. J. E. Belt, wife of Prof.
j. Il. Belt, who is in \. NJ. {. A. work

place at the Maroon institution. She
will teach French. Mrs. II. II. Bald
win, wife of the assistant pastor at
Pine Street Presbyterian Church, is
another woman teacher who began
her duties at Tech. She will instruct
in English and mathematics. 1t is
possible that the teachers may be
kept in the faculty even after the
close of the war.
