HOnors of War When He
Loses Sight in Battle

New Bloomfield, Nov. 11.-Receiving
nearly every dignity which a hero of
the war could command, including
honorable wounds which caused the
loss of his sight, the name of George
Fl. Behnheisel is on everyone's tongue
in his home town to-day. Promoted
from private to first lieutenant. rec
ommended for the Croix de Guerre
for bravery, bearing the red shoulder
bar signfying that his entire COM
mand had been cited, are some of the
things besides the loss of his sight
which have made Bernheisel a hero
here. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
S. Bernheisel, recently received a let
ter from their son, written by a COM
rade of the latter. in which he tells
of his plight, but promises to be
around shortlyi' Bernheisel. it is be-
ileved, lost his sight short while
after he was recommended for the

pIoye of the Philadelphia Press and

SPROUL STARTS
ON HIS MESSAGE
New Governor Is Gathering
Data to Outline Policies;
30 Leave League Chair

5overnor-elect William C Sproul
e rerday advised his friends that he
will not be a candidate to succeed
himself to the presidency of the
Union League.
Nomination for his successor will
be made at the meeting OF the
League next month.
In reaching this conclusion Senat-
or Sproul followed n precedent es-
tablished by former Governor Edwin
S. Stuart, who was elected to the eN-
ecutive chair, as was Senator Sproul,
during the first term OF his presi-
dency of the League and who there
upon decided not to he Il candidate
TO succeed himself at the head of
the club.
Potential members of the Union
League, in view of the custom which
has obtained in that famous big or
ganization for years of continuing
presidents in office for at least two
terms, are advocating the nomina-
ton of former Governor Stuart as
President Sprouts successor. They
argue that his quitting the presi-
dency when he was elected to the
Governorship deprived him of the
honor of a second term in the
Leagues leadership and that the
present situation pre-fellow men,

doubtely would have done had he
stood for reelection before.

Christian Science Church
Active in Work in War;
Makes Much Clothing

Everybody is taking an interest in
war relief, and because little is heard
of the work of the Harrisburg's
Comforts Committee, that is no in
dication its members are not busy.
This committee is composed of
Christian Scientists having head
quarters in a storeroom located at
S55 South Thirteenth street They
solicit aid only from their own men,
bers, gratefully accepting contribu-
tions in money >or material from any
others desiring to assist.
This room has been open for
months where garments are made
from material new and old, as well
as knitted articles, most of which
are sent to the Christian Science
forwarding committee of Boston for
shipment overseas or wherever need
ed by soldiers, sailors and refugees.
About 500 articles have been for
warded by this committee, including
children's clothing of all kinds,
sweaters, socks, wristlets, scarfs
helmets and miscellaneous articles
Women, expert in cutting, sewing
and knitting meet at this room every
Tuesday and Thursday to make VI
garments and teach others how tC
make them, much of the work being
done at the homes of members.
Here baby bonnets are being fab
ricated from pieces of velvet and
silk, looking so nice and neat when
finished it gives one desire to see
the little bodies wear them. Under
wear for children have been made
from old stockings, and children's
dresses from shirts. Petticoats and
baby sacks are formed from skirts
and dresses and many small pieces
of cloth remaining are made into
quilts.
One of the very interesting fea-
lures of the work is the making OF
boys trousers and suits from mems
clothing contributed for the purpose.
This clothing is thoroughly renovat-
ed and made up into complete suits,
looking good as new when finished.
They are clean, warm and ready to
wear when distributed by the Chris
tian Science welfare workers among
our needy little neighbors across
the pond" They have pockets in
them too, just the right size for a
handkerchief, top or ball, and the
mothers who make them are happy
in the assurance of the comfort and
joy their work will give to the needy
little men and their mothers also if
they are so fortunate as to have any.
The purpose of these activities and
the quality of the work performed
in the preparation of these useful
articles reflect no little credit upon
the committee in charge and those
assisting them.

money and the number of subscrip-
tions.
Penn State Far Over
The work among the students of
the colleges is thoroughly organized
under the direction of DR.. William
A. Granville, president of Pennsyl-
vania College at Gettysburg. Penn
State College, Bellefonte, with a
quota of $4,000 has already sub
scribed $4,000, of which $4,000
was contributed by the men in the
student army training corps. Every
student-every institution" is the
keynote of the student drive and
all indications point to realization
of that goal.
Hundreds of boys and girls are
being enrolled in the ranks of the
Victory Boys and Victory Girls and
these hustling youngsters are setting
a swift pace for many aNgrown up
by pledging to give from So to S1O,
which is TO be money which they
have actually earned.
In every city, town, village and
township the homes campaign Will
start to-day and reports tiltering in
to district headquarters here are that
every community n the district is
going over the top early in the
week.
Great Thanks Offering
"It should be n great thanksgiv-
ing Offering" said E. ]. Stackpole,
chairman of the district to-day.
with our boys now undoubted vic
tors we should pour out our gold
and silver in a stream that Will carry
the comforts of home to those who
have willingly gone forth to battle
for the world and for the Stars and
Stripes. 1t will take millions to pro-
vide those comforts during the per-
iod of rehabilitation. and 1t is i'm
portant that the 100000 quota for
the district be topped by from thir-
ty to fifty per cent"
Mr.. Stackpole has two sons at the
front. Captain E. j. Stackpole, Jr.,
is now in a base hospital, wounded
severely.
A. H. Dinsmore. acting campaign
director also expresses confidence
that the campaign will be a COM
plete success. His confidence is bas-
ed upon the thoroughness of the pre-
liminary organization work and re-
ports already in of one of the larg-
est cities in the district having near
ed it's quota.
The first report on the work in
the district will be made Monday
night by o'clock, it is expected.

mendations in various departments.
Not only will there be call for
strict accounting of the large sums
spent in various activities in con-
nection with the war. but an immed-
late halt upon unnecessary expendit-
ures in that direction demanded.
Senator Sproul is convinced that a
revision of the State Constitution is
necessary to meet unexpected con-
ditions which have arisen since the
present constitution was framed ana
the matter of calling a convention to
revise the constitution will be put
up squarely to the Legislature.
The Governor-elect will present a
comprehensive statement of his views
IN connection with the great roads
system and enlighten the General
Association as to his ideas of the
popular approval of the proposed
100000 loan for state highways
The many other issues dwelt upon
in his platform will all be submitted
in up-to-date form to the legisla-
tors when they assemble in Harris
burg next January.

hours of the morning telling of the

he followed the making of the Peace

Telephones to Enlist
Aid of Women in
War Work Campaign

"Hello! is that you Mrs. Jones?"
go
We'll don't forget this is the week
of the United War Work Campaign
and we must do all we can to raise
money 10 carry home to our men
overseas. I was asked to remind
you and six other women and to
ask you to be kind enough to call
up seven of your friends and ask
them to do the same"
This is about the gist of thou
sands of telephone messages that
will be sent throughout the ten coun-
ties of the Sixth Pennsylvania dis
trict of the United War Work Cam
paign Monday, November II, the
opening day of the big drive for
70,500.000 for soldiers and sail
or welfare work.
A plan for an endless chain of
telephone messages has been work
ed out by Mrs. William Jennings,
one of the vice-chairmen of the dis
trict, and it will be set in motion
at once.
The plan in short is for a certain
number i women to'start the chain.
Each will call up seven of her
women friends and will pass along
the message of the big drive. She
will ask each woman called to re-
peat the chain of seven calls among
her friends. In this way it is be-
lieved every family with a telephone
in the home will be reached in Il
strictly personal way. No efforts will
be made to solicit contributions to
the fund by this method. but the
importance of the work will be borne
in upon hundreds of thousands of
people.
So don't be SURPRISED If you get
call about the United War Work
Campaign to-day!
All Plans Complete
All plans for the opening of the
big drive throughout the district are
completed. The campaign will reach
into the most remote sections of the
ten counties. Every man and wo-
man; every boy and girl will be
given an opportunity to contribute
to the fund which means so much
to the comfort of the fighting men.
In many communities the drive
among the industrial workers is al
ready under way and some indus
tries are reported to be over the
top in both the total amount of
