Recovering From Wounds
The Legionaires are recovering
from wounds. They arrived a month
ago. and Will return to France I'm
another month. This afternoon. be-
ginning at 8 o'clock, with Boy
Scouts and Liberty Loan workers,
the Legionaires paraded over the
principal streets of Harrisburg. 1t
was only short parade, however;
they all are weak with wounds re-
ceived In the fighting. and cannot
stand too much exercise.
The body of Legionaires is COM
manded by Captain Chestenet de
Gerry. who wears the War Cross with
two palms. and the Moroccan medal.
He lost his leg in the Champagne
in 1915, but refused to be discharged
from the army and returned to the
front to participate in the defense ,
of Verdun. Before the war he al
ready had been wounded fighting the
Moors In Africa with the Foreign
Legion.
Every Man q Hero
The other officers are: Lieutenant
Heritier, who wears the Legion of
Honor. War Cross with two palms.
| and two Moroccan medals; Lieu
tenant Count Philippe de Villaine.
who wears the War Cross and wound
stripe: Lieutenant Chapelle, tho
color bearer of the Legion, wounded
three times, cross of the Legion of
! Honor: Adjutant Dinet who wears
many decorations and medals on his
| chest as tributes to his prowess.
The sixty-three officers and men
| bear 1853 wounds: together they
count more than 200 citations for
bravery. Their regiment has been
mentioned five times for dlstin-
| guished service, and wears the scar
let Distinguished Service braid on
their left shoulders. At the begin
ming of the war there were $4,000
Legionaires; now there are 1000.
| They are of all ages. from Private
| Moser, aged IS, who has seen four
years of service at the front to Bo-
benriett, aged SO, who has served
with the legion in many lands for
fifteen years. Two famous painters,
Lejeune and Zinowieff, are with the
legion, the latter from Russia and
| the former q member of noble
French family. They have studied
in America. Both were decorated
by France, England and Italy.
Every Legionaire is n hero. Cor
poral Voutasse, for example, wears
on his War Cross seven stars which
say that he has been cited seven
times for bravery by the general-in-
chief. st. Bauman wears five stars.
and nearly every Legionaire three or
four.

transferring patients to the hospital.
1t was announced at the City
Health Bureau at noon that Miss
Helen J. Roth, the city nurse, will
be in charge of the Emergency Hos
pital. There will be at least three
other registered nurses at the hos
pital, including Miss Marian Will
liams, principal of the city's open
air school, and Mss Florence Heller.
a city school nurse.
BY 1 o'clock this afternoon fifty
cots had been fitted up in the hos
pital and then DR.. Raunick an
nounced the urgent need for pillows
and for volunteer doctors. Retired
physicians and those who have been
doing only a small amount of prac-
ticing are needed, he said, to help
with the hospital work. The Health
Bureau will investigate all cases be-
fore a patient is sent to the Emer-
gency Hospital and those in homes
where the sanitary conditions and
the housing and nursing is bad, will
be given the preference, said the
health officer.
Miss williams will be in charge of
the cooking. The fourth registered
nurse who volunteered her services
proba bly, won't be able to go to the
hospital for day or so. The regis
tered nurses will assist first aid and
other volunteers to do effective work
at the temporary hospital.
With the promise of the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce to CO.
operate with the City Health Bu-
reau in it's effort to close all stores
at $50 tomorrow evening and every
Saturday evening until the influenza
situation is under control, it is not
thought a mandatory order will be
necessary to insure the closing of all
business places at an hour to-mor-
row which will prevent the conges-
ton usually occurring every Satur-
day night.
Several hundred additional cases
of influenza were reported yesterday
Raunick, city health officer, the
situation is growing worse rather
than better. Health officer reports
red yesterday. 1t is highly likely
that other deaths from influenza oc-
Cured throughout the city yester-
day.
The hospital now has as many
cases on its hands as 1t can handle
properly, and it is probable that an
emergency hospital in one of the
buildings already offered for such
service Will DE eStdDllSHeu WlJnln tne
near future.
DIR. Raunick yesterday issued a
request to all patrons of the tele-
phone companies to abstain from
using the telephones except in cases
of absolute necessity, as there is so
much sickness in the ranks of the
Operators that it is impossible to
handle any but emergency calls. AL
most a third of the operators of the
Bell Telephone Company are abb
sent because of influenza.

solicitors had finished their reports
for the city at 2 o'clock to-day.
In the country district the total
bonds sold was several million dol
lars off the allotment.
Strenuous efforts will be made
to get the allotment sold for the
city," said Chairman Andrew S.
Patterson at noon.
"A meeting of the executive COM
mittee is to be held tonight"
''Shock Troops"
1t is understood that a hundred
of Harrisburg's best statesmen will
go on the bond sales job tomorrow
morning. Men will be chosen who
are past masters of the art of sales
manship. They will be asked to
sell the bonds needed to make up
the city quota. Something of the
same sort will have to be done in
the country districts" which are far
back of schedule. The statesmen will
be known as "the shock unit"
They Want to Buy
There must be hundreds of men
and women in the city who want to
buy bonds" said Chairman Patter-
son.
"If solicitors have not seen these
people l wish they would go to their
banks, or to the nearest bank, or
come to Liberty Loan headquarters.
No one need not have a bond be-
cause he or she was not personally
solicited"
Woman Docs Well
Richard c. Haldeman, one of the
most energetic solicitors for the
Loan, this morning went to a Chest
nut street woman who operates a
boardinghouse.
Mr.. Haldeman," she said, L have
bonds of the first, second and third
issues. | have $500 worth of War
Savings Stamps and have pledg-
ed myself to buy Baby Bond each
week until Christmas-and really
am putting all my savings into these
sources. But il you think | ought
to buy Liberty Bond I'll do it,"
Mr.. Haldeman told her he thought
she'd been doing well, inasmuch as
her circumstances are not good.
About an hour later call was re-
ceived at headquarters.
Tell Mr.. Dick Haldeman," said
the Chestnut street woman. that
I've figured a way whereby can
buy another Liberty Bond"
Shoe Cobblcr, $500
There is a Greek cobbler down
in Dewberry alley. Mr.. Haldeman
went in to see him yesterday and
asked him to buy a bond.
The cobbler produced a $500 bond,
one of the fourth issue.
"A man came in yesterday and
bantered me to buy $500 if he would
do the same. So l did" said the
cobbler.
Jacob Lehman, Take Notice
Liberty Loan headquarters to-day
sent letter to Jacob Lehman, rural
route No. 4, Harrisburg, suggesting
that he come to headquarters at
his earliest possible convenience. Ac-
cording to solicitors who reported at
headquarters yesterday Mr.. Lehman
is of the opinion that Liberty Bond
salesmen are getting high salaries.
Some distinguished strangers will
be waiting for Mr.. Lehman when he
arrives at headquarters.
Baltimore Life Buys
One of. the reports handed in to-
day was that telling that Baltimore
Life Insurance Company has bought
$4,000 worth of bonds through the
Harrisburg district-double it's last
purchase here. This big subscrip-
ton was due to the efforts of John
A. Mitchell, general agent for the
company in this district.

TROM Douai to Verdun, the
II tide of German invasion is

of the Teutonic forces over this
far flung line apparently began
yesterday.
East of Cambria, the enemy
has abandoned lie Cateau, which
has been occupied by the Brit
ish and Americans. Farther
south the French have pushed
farther eastward in their adj
vance from St. Quentin.
North of La Fere the French have
taken the village of Servais, which
marks the point where the wedge
is entering the st. Gobain strong
hold.
Pushing eastward along the
Chemin des Danes, the French have
forced the enemy across the Oise-
Aisne canal and southeast they have
crossed the Aisne east of Oeuilly.
In the Champagne sector, the
forces of General Gouraud have oc-
cupied Termes and Grand Pre-. on
the north bank of the Aire river.
Americans Take Towns
East of the Argonne forest,

getting his preliminary air training
later at North Island, San Diego, in
the same state. Still later he went
to the Fort Sill, Oklahoma, school
for observers and to aviation head
quarters at Kelly School No. at
San Antonio, Texas. Finishing
touches were put on Lieutenant
Johnston's aerial training at Hicks
Field, Fort Worth, Texas, where, in
April of last year, he received Sc
we're injuries as a result of falling
over 500 feet while instructing a
student aviator that far above
ground. Both he and the student
aviator suffered concussion of the
brain and severe body bruises on
account of the fall and both recov-
eredsfrom the same in a remarkably
short time.
The missing aerial officer lived in
Harrisburg several years ago and
went to school at Mercersburg
Academy. He had made his home of
recent years in California and was

Company of that state when he en-

rectifed their line on each side of
the Meuse.
There has been but little resist
ance to the advance of the Allied
armies. East of Cambrai the Ger
mans seem to be in full flight. This,
too, is the case farther south. where
the French are marching virtually
unimpeded in the direction of Guise.
Advance Is Significant
The advance of the French near
La Fere and along the Aisne. south
of Laon is quite significant. This
part of the battle line has the strong
est natural positions to be found any,
where along the front. The st. Co
balm forest is almost invulnerable,
while the hills north of the Aisne,
farther south, lend themselves ad-
East of Oeuilly, where the new cross

Ericmhild Line Broken
In the Champagne and Argonne
sectors the Kriemhild line, built to
be the ultimate defense of the re-
gion, is broken and the Americans
and French are storming through it
on each side of the Argonne forest.
An advance of ten or fifteen miles
alonS the Meuse would bring the
Americans and French near the prin-
cipal railroad artery leading from
Germany into northern France. If
this road is cut, or even brought
under artillery fire, the enemy would
