Scope of Patriotic Work Un-
dertdken by Minister Wild
ems: to Visit Our Soldiers at
Work, at Play and in the
Trenches

Developments of the last few days
have so immensely increased the i'm
portance of Dr. Robert Bagnell's s
mission abroad that the eminent
Harrisburg clergyman will leave on
Tuesday as envoy extraordinary, for
the Washington Government, in ad-
dition to his activities for the Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A. and the Methodist
Church.
1T was last fall" he related that
l first felt the call to go to France,
and l was encouraged by the Y. NJ.
c. \. 1 spoke of my plan to the
bishop of our diocese, to the superin-
tendent, to Mr.. William Jennings
here, and to a few others. Then
took it up with men of my church,
Mr.. Starkey., +. z. Wallower, Mr..
BURNETT, Mr.. Mcfarland, and all
thought at the time that would be
more useful working at home. But
in March 1 again felt impelled to
take up this task and it was then Mr..
Starkey came TO me with: Doctor,
we'll pay your expenses, for the gen.
eral sentiment here is that three or
four months abroad for you would
pay Harrisburg and the whole coun-
try. We want you to bring the first
real and the fresh message"
his was SplSnUlQ continued Dr.
Bagnell. They pledged to underwrite
me, and that settled it. Anxious for
my church, l was again fortunate in
securing DR.. George Reed, who with
DIR. Mains and DR.. Schwartz and
others will occupy the pulpit in my
absence. I wish it understood, how
ever, that on my return 1 will preach
every Sunday, although my work
will be heavy. a committee is to be
appointed to help me, but 1 must not
give up my weekly sermon"
Only few days DR.. Bagnell had
for meditation over the task he had
volunteered for, when his mission
attracted the profound concern of
Washington, and he was asked to
come down immediately and consult
with the heads of the Bureau of
Public Information and officials in
the State Department. In some way
his reputation had preceded him,
and so swiftly did the governmental
machinery work that passports were
issued quickly, and a carte blanche
furnished him for carrying out vital
and very comprehensive plans.

bard, head of the overseas depart

yesterday refused to limit its debate
during the war. After receiving in
formation that the President had not
urged its adoption. the Senate voted
down. Al to "a, rule proposed by
cut short Senator'S speeches. -
Spirited debate marked considera-
ton of the resolution, but in spite of
the determined opposition manifest-
ed during the discussion of the past
few days. supporters of the rule had
been confident of its adoption. When

ever, a dozen Democratic Senators
unexpectedly Joined the majority of

and even threatens to cut ii off en-
tirely.
Food administrators will, accord
ingly, put into effect Immediately a
regulation restricting the trade to
sales, for ordinary use. of a mixi-
mum of two pounds to town and
city consumers, and five pounds to
consumers residing in rural districts.
The sale of a maximum of twen-
ty-hve pounds, on signed certificates,
for home preserving, will be con-
tinued as a means of saving the fruit
crop from loss and providing winter
stores; but this provision is to be
carefully supervised and regulated to
insure against abuses. The public is
urged to employ drying and cold
pack processes requiring a minimum
of sugar as far as possible.
Hotels. restaurants, clubs and
public eating places of all kinds, are
required henceforth to remove all
sugar bowls or other common re-
ceptacles for sugar from tables and
exclusively Individual service is
limited to one-half ounce or two
Jumps per person with tea and cof-
fee, and one ounce maximum, per
person, with cereals and fresh fruits
Also, to use no sugar for icings and
other decorative purposes, or for
making sherbets and water ices.
No more sugar distribution certl-
ticates will be issued to manufactur-
ers until further notice from the
Federal Administration. The less
essential sugar using industries, like
confectioners and soft drink makers.
are requested to make still further
reductions in the amount of sugar
useN.
Rules and regulations here set
forth will be strictly enforced.
Prompt and vigorous action will be
taken against all violators.
The appeal for voluntary con-
servation in the home is made In
order to prevent a shortage which
without strict and widespread con-
servation, may result in a situation
which will require enforcement of
periods when no sugar may be sup
piled"

MIDDLE RIVER STOCK FARM

the Middle River Stock Farm last Sun
day. The farm was stocked UP only a
year ago last spring, but already has
an air Of permanence and prosperity
that promises well for the future and
is fine ad. for the community. With
twenty registered Shorthorn cows, a
like number Of calves, and bunch of:
yearlings, the offspring of the COWS, all
grazing on tame pasture, it certainly
looks good. Besides, the farm has q
few registered Percheron colts from the
mares and stallion which they started
with, and pure bred Poland China hogs.
The big barn built last year is model
OF comfort and convenience for the
stock. Quite a lot of new land has been
broken on the farm this year, and some
more will be improved next year. It
is only question Of few years until
this farm will be one of the show places

BOHEMIANS BATTLE
 FOR ALLIED FORCES
March Out to Meet Austrians Under Own Flag of Red and
  White.

Italian Headquarters in Northe ern Italy, May 8, (By the Associated Press) Bohemian hopes of independence from domination of Austria Hungary assumed a more concrete form recent ly in large city near the Italian front when a regiment of Bohemian troops received a battle flag on the eve of their departure for the fighting line. Under their own red and white banner and their own officers the Bohemians are now ranged in the ranks of the Entente allied forces in battling against their oppressors.
 The formation of the Bohemian regim ent gives a definiteness to the recent congress held in Rome of rep reSentatives of the various Slav ele- ments which seek to throw off the Austrian yoke-Serbs, Croats, Slove- nese, Czech-Slovaks and Poles. The Serbs, Croats and Slovenese have an independent national organization known as the Jugoslavs, while the Czech -Slovaks and Poles, the northern Slavs, also are working toward inde- pendence. All are bound together by the bond of Slav sympathy and are animated by aspiration to throw off the tyranny of Austria ,zts..
 In addition to bringing all the Slav elements into accord, the meetings in Rome have also brought the Jugoslavs and Boh emians into closer accord with the allies. The close relations estab- lished between Italy and the Jugoslavs are of special importance to the harmony of the allied cause, for to- gether the Italians and JugoSlaVs com pletely encircle the Adriatic Italy predominates on the west and her as- piratons extend to beyond Austria. The Slav element is strongest in Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Montenegro. This extensive Slav frontage on the eastern coast of the Adriatic is now in complete harmony with Italy and the allied cause.

WOMEN ASSISTING
 IN GAS MASK WORK
Mothers, Wives and SWeethearts
 Contributing "Their Bit"

Washington, May 30-Women who, as wives, mothers, and sisters of sol diers have a deep realization of the necessity for painstaking care in their work, make the gas masks for the American army.
 Somewhere in the United States. at a plant whose location for obvious reasons is not made public, thousands of them are engaged in the delicate and intricate operations and in con- ducting tests on the finished products. They have been organized in military fashion, and specially selected for the work.
 Tt soon became apparent that the type Of women needed could not be secured through the ordinary chan nels of employment" says a state ment of the Gas Defense service, that section of the surgeon generals of flee which controls the manufacture" and men were sent to localities dis playing service flags to secure the services of women vitally interested, who would be most loyal in their work, and extremely anxious to send out perfect gas-masks'
 Sewing face pieces, assem bling sec tions and making sure that the fin ished mask will be imperVious to gas requires whole series of complicated operations Schools were established and the women selected were trained in special courses until they became proficient in all the divisions of the task, the statem ent adds.
 After that they were assembled in divisions, companies, platoons and squads, under women leaders, and the Defense service says that the method produced unusual results both in discipline and control of production. Friendly rivalry as to the quantity and quality of output is carried on between the different com panies."
 Soldiers who have experienced the horrors of being "gassed' have lec- tured to the workers, and special mo- tion pictures have impressed upon them just how the deadly fumes, a against which the work of their hands is the only defense, are used At the same time, the government has paid special attention to welfare work, the statement says, and at the immense plant hospital, rest rom and recrea- ton facilities have been provided.
